A positive feedforward circuit shaped by DLGAP5 and E2F1 triggers bladder cancer progression

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a highly prevalent malignancy on a global scale, characterized by significant tumor heterogeneity. The investigation of molecular mechanisms that can be leveraged for the management of aggressive BLCA represents a particularly pertinent objective.DLGAP5 is mitosis-related protein widely existed in eukaryotic cells. The molecular mechanism of DLGAP5 in bladder cancer is still not clear, despite its role in tumorigenesis. Bladder cancer tissues exhibit a noteworthy increase in DLGAP5 expression, compared to normal bladder tissues. Furthermore, the expression of DLGAP5 shows a positive correlation with the clinical stage of the tumor and a negative impact on the prognosis. Cell proliferation and migration are significantly impacted by alterations in DLGAP5 expression, as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Further investigation reveals that DLGAP5 regulated E2F1 protein stability via USP11 deubiquitinase activity, and DLGAP5 is a direct target of E2F1. DLGAP5-E2F1 forms a positive feedback loop and influences the efficacy of BLCA progression. Collectively, DLGAP5 could potentially serve as a new therapeutic target for the treatment of bladder cancer.

DNA polymerase POLD1 promotes proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer by stabilizing MYC

Project description:Hitherto, most studies on POLD1 have mainly focused on the effect of POLD1 inactivation mutation in tumors. Nonetheless, the mechanism underlying high POLD1 expression in tumorigenesis remains elusive. Herein, we substantiated the pro-carcinogenic role of POLD1 in bladder cancer (BLCA) and found that POLD1 expression is related to malignancy and prognosis of BLCA. Next, we demonstrated that POLD1 could promote proliferation and metastasis of BLCA via MYC. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that POLD1 was able to stabilize MYC in a manner independent of DNA polymerase activity. POLD1 attenuated the FBXW7-mediated ubiquitination degradation of MYC by directly binding to the MYC homology box 1 domain competitively with FBXW7. Moreover, we found that POLD1 can form a complex with MYC to promote the transcriptional activity of MYC. MYC could also transcriptionally activate POLD1, forming a POLD1-MYC positive feedback loop to enhance the pro-carcinogenic effect of POLD1-MYC on BLCA. Overall, our study suggests a novel MYC-driven mechanism for BLCA, and POLD1 has the potential as a biomarker for BLCA.

EGFR activity addiction facilitates anti-ERBB based combination treatment of squamous bladder cancer

Project description:Recent findings suggested a benefit of anti-EGFR therapy for basal-like muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, impact on bladder cancer with substantial squamous differentiated (Sq-BLCA) and especially pure squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains unknown. Therefore, we comprehensively characterized pure and mixed Sq-BLCA (n=125) on genetic and protein expression level, and performed functional pathway and drug-response analyses with cell line models and isolated primary SCC (p-SCC) cells of the human urinary bladder. We identified abundant EGFR expression in 95% of Sq-BLCA without evidence for activating EGFR mutations. Both SCaBER and p-SCC cells were sensitive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs: erlotinib and gefitinib). Combined treatment with anti-EGFR TKIs and varying chemotherapeutics led to a concentration-dependent synergism in SCC cells according to the Chou-Talalay method. In addition, siRNA knockdown of EGFR impaired SCaBER viability suggesting a putative ‘‘Achilles heel’’ of Sq-BLCA. The observed effects seem Sq-BLCA-specific since non-basal urothelial cancer cells were characterized by poor TKI sensitivity associated with a short-term feedback response by upregulating EGFR and ERBB3 expression. Hence, our findings give novel insights into a crucial, Sq-BLCA-specific role of the ERBB signaling pathway proposing improved effectiveness of combined anti-EGFR and chemotherapeutic regimens in squamous bladder cancers with wild-type EGFR-overexpression.

LncRNA AGPG confers endocrine resistance in breast cancer by promoting E2F1 activity

Project description:Resistance to endocrine therapy represents a major threat to patients with estrogen receptor α positive (ERα+) breast cancer. The development of resistance is mainly through activating E2F signaling. However, the mechanisms that govern E2F1 activity in these resistant cells remain poorly understood. Here, we identify Actin Gamma 1 Pseudogene 25 (AGPG) as a lncRNA whose expression is driven by epigenomic activation of enhancer in endocrine resistant breast cancer cells. High expression of AGPG is associated with poor survival of ERα+ breast cancer, especially in patients receiving endocrine therapy. Stable knockdown and overexpression of AGPG demonstrate that AGPG promotes endocrine resistance, cell cycle progression, cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. AGPG functions by direct binding purine rich element binding protein α (PURα), a transcription factor repressing E2F1 signaling and sensitized ERα+ breast cancer cells to endocrine therapy. Via binding to the region responsible for PURα/E2F1 interaction in PURα protein, AGPG releases E2F1 from PURα, leading to activation of E2F1 signaling in ERα+ breast cancer cells. Clinically, E2F1 target genes are strongly correlated with AGPG and PURα expression. Thus, our study reveals AGPG as a promising biomarker and potential therapeutic target in breast cancer.

Melatonin inhibited tumorigenesis of bladder cancer via suppressing PPARγ/ENO1 mediated glycolysis

Project description:Bladder cancer (BLCA) is one of the most malignant human cancers in the world. The increasingly prominent phenomenon of chemoresistance has become an essential obstacle to clinical treatment for BLCA, and there is an urgent need to explore novel drugs to improve the current clinical status. Melatonin is a well-known natural hormone that showed a potential anti-cancer effect in multiple human cancers. In our study, we comprehensively explored the inhibitory effect of melatonin on BLCA and found that it could suppress the glycolysis process in BLCA cells. Moreover, we discovered that the ninth step enzyme ENO1 of glycolysis was the downstream effector of melatonin and could be a predictive biomarker of BLCA patients.

DNA polymerase POLD1 promotes proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer by stabilizing MYC

Project description:Hitherto, most studies on DNA polymerase δ (POLD1) have mainly focused on the effect of POLD1 inactivation mutation in tumors. Nonetheless, the mechanism underlying high POLD1 expression in tumorigenesis remains elusive. Herein, we substantiated the pro-carcinogenic role of POLD1 in bladder cancer (BLCA) and found that POLD1 expression is related to malignancy and prognosis of BLCA. Next, we demonstrated that POLD1 could promote proliferation and metastasis of BLCA via MYC in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, POLD1 and MYC were colocalized in the nucleus and co-expressed during the cell cycle. Mechanistically, we validated that POLD1 could interact directly with MYC, and POLD1 could stabilize MYC by counteracting GSK3β-mediated phosphorylation of threonine 58 and blocking the interaction between E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW7 and MYC. Moreover, MYC could transcriptionally activate POLD1, forming a POLD1-MYC positive feedback loop to enhance the pro-carcinogenic effect of POLD1-MYC on BLCA. Overall, our study identified a novel MYC-driven oncogene POLD1, providing a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for BLCA.

E2F1 ChIP-Seq on mouse hepatocytes overexpressing E2F1

Project description:E2F transcription factors are known regulators of the cell cycle, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. We reveal an essential role for E2F1 in liver through the regulation of glycolysis and lipogenesis. E2F1 deficiency leads to a decreased in glycolysis and de novo synthesis of fatty acids in hepatocytes. ChIP-Seq was performed to determine direct tagets of E2F1 in hepatocytes. We highlight that E2F1 directly binds the promoters of genes implicated in metabolic process and notably key lipogenic genes to control these pathways.

MYBL2 promotes proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer through transactivation of CDCA3

Project description:The transcription factor MYB proto-oncogene like 2 (MYBL2) plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression and tumorigenesis. However, the biological function of MYBL2 in bladder cancer (BLCA) remains to be elucidated. Here, we first revealed that MYBL2 was elevated in BLCA tissues and was significantly correlated with clinicopathological parameters and cancer-specific survival of BLCA patients. Phenotypic assays showed that MYBL2 deficiency suppressed the proliferation and migration of BLCA cells in vitro and in vivo, whereas overexpression of MYBL2 contributed to the opposite phenotype. Mechanistically, MYBL2 could bind to the promoter of its downstream target gene cell division cycle-associated protein 3 (CDCA3) and transactivate it, which in turn promoted the malignant phenotype of BLCA cells. Further investigations revealed that MYBL2 interacted with forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) to co-regulate the transcription of CDCA3. In addition, MYBL2 and CDCA3 may activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling by inhibiting the suppressor dickkopf-1 (DKK1), thereby regulating the malignant phenotype of BLCA cells. In conclusion, the current study has identified MYBL2 as an oncogene in BLCA. MYBL2 can accelerate the proliferation and metastasis of BLCA through the transactivation of CDCA3.

TRAIP suppresses bladder cancer progression by catalyzing K48-linked polyubiquitination of MYC

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-interacting protein (TRAIP), a RING domain-containing E3 ligase, has emerged as a key player in safeguarding genome integrity and is closely linked to cancer. Here, we discovered that TRAIP exhibits low expression in bladder cancer (BLCA), which correlates with poor prognosis. TRAIP exerts inhibitory effects on bladder cancer cell proliferation and migration both in vitro and in vivo. MYC serves as a newly identified target for TRAIP, with direct interaction leading to the promotion of K48 polyubiquitination at K428/430 lysine residues, subsequently resulting in proteasome-dependent degradation and downregulation of MYC's transcriptional activity. This process effectively hinders the progression of bladder cancer. Restoration of MYC expression rescues the suppressed proliferation and migration of bladder cancer cells induced by TRAIP. Furthermore, our investigation also demonstrates that MYC binds to the transcriptional start region of TRAIP, exerting regulatory control over TRAIP transcription. Consequently, this interaction establishes a negative feedback loop that prevents excessive expression of MYC. In summary, our study uncovers a novel mechanism by which TRAIP inhibits the progression of bladder cancer through the ubiquitinated degradation of MYC.
