FAM49B suppresses ovarian cancer cell growth through regulating MAPK signaling

ABSTRACT: The family with sequence similarity 49 member B (FAM49B, also known as CYRI-B) has recently attracted interest as a new player in cancer development. Upregulation of FAM49B expression has been observed in ovarian cancer tissues. Here we show that knockdown of FAM49B significantly increased ovarian cancer growth the in vitro, ovo and xenograft model. Transcriptomic analysis of FAM49B-depleted and control cells revealed that the MAPK pathway was upregulated upon FAM49B silencing. Supporting the transcription analysis, we found that knockdown of FAM49B enhanced the activation of EGFR and downstream MEK-ERK signaling, whereas FAM49B overexpression exhibited opposite trends. Overall, our data show that FAM49B acts as a suppressor of cancer cell growth in ovarian cancer through regulating MAPK signaling.

PLEKHA4 knockdown induces apoptosis in melanoma cells through the MAPK and cMyc signaling pathways

Project description:Melanoma, originating from the malignant transformation of melanocytes, is the deadliest form of skin cancer. The incidence of primary cutaneous melanoma is increasing, with about 132,000 new cases annually. While early-stage melanoma can often be treated successfully with surgery, advanced melanoma remains challenging, necessitating new therapeutic targets. The MAPK pathway, particularly involving MEK and ERK, is critical in melanoma progression. PLEKHA4, a protein involved in cancer biology, has been identified as a key factor in melanoma cell proliferation and progression. Our study investigated the role of PLEKHA4 in regulating MAPK signaling and its impact on drug sensitivity in melanoma. Proteomic analysis, cell culture experiments, and various molecular techniques, including immunoblotting and quantitative proteomics, were employed to elucidate PLEKHA4’s function. Results indicates that PLEKHA4 is overexpressed in melanoma, promoting cell proliferation. PLEKHA4 knockdown induces apoptosis through the MAPK and cMyc pathway. enhances cMyc ubiquitination and degradation, suggesting a potential mechanism for its role in melanoma. These findings highlight PLEKHA4 as a significant player in melanoma progression and a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

CSGALNACT2 Restricts Ovarian Cancer Migration and Invasion by Modulating MAPK/ERK Pathway through DUSP1

Project description:Abstract Purpose Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death among women. CSGALNACT2 is a vital Golgi transferase and is related to a variety of human diseases. However, its expression pattern and function in ovarian cancer remain uncertain. Methods The Cancer Genome Atlas and GEPIA databases were used to assess the expression of CSGALNACT2 in ovarian cancer patients. RNA-seq, qRT-PCR, and IHC were used to verify the expression of CSGALNACT2 in ovarian cancer tissues. Then, in vivo and in vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate the role of CSGALNACT2 in the progression of ovarian cancer. RNA-seq and GSEA were used to reveal the potential biological function and oncogenic pathways of CSGALNACT2. Results We demonstrated that the mRNA expression and protein level of CSGALNACT2 were significantly downregulated in ovarian cancer and ovarian cancer metastatic tissues. CSGALNACT2 can significantly inhibit the migration, invasion, and clonogenic growth of ovarian cancer in vitro and is progressively lost during ovarian cancer progression in vivo. CSGALNACT2 suppresses ovarian cancer migration and invasion via DUSP1 modulation of the MAPK/ERK pathway through RNA-seq, KEGG analysis, and Western blotting. Moreover, CSGALNACT2 expression was correlated with immune cell infiltration and had prognostic value in different immune cell-enriched or decreased ovarian cancer. In addition, patients with CSGALNACT2 downregulation are less likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Conclusion As an ovarian cancer suppressor gene, CSGALNACT2 inhibits the development of ovarian cancer, and it might be used as a prognostic biomarker in patients with ovarian cancer.

Enhancing PD-L1 Degradation by ITCH during MAPK Inhibitor Therapy Suppresses Acquired Resistance

Project description:Disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 interaction rejuvenates antitumor immunity. Clinical successes by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 binding have grown across wide-ranging cancer histologies, but innate therapy resistance is evident in the majority of treated patients1. Cancer cells can express robust surface levels of PD-L1 to tolerize tumor-specific T cells, but regulation of PD-L1 protein levels in the cancer cell is poorly understood. Quasi-mesenchymal tumor cells up-regulate PD-L1/L2 and induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment, including expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells and exclusion of CD8+ T-cell infiltration2. Targeted therapy, including MAPK inhibitor therapy in melanoma, leads to quasi-mesenchymal transitions and resistance3, and both MAPK inhibitor treatment and mesenchymal signatures are associated with innate anti-PD-1 resistance4,5. Here we identify ITCH as an E3 ligase that downregulates tumor cell-surface PD-L1/L2 in PD-L1/L2-high cancer cells, including MAPK inhibitor-resistant melanoma, and suppresses acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance in and only in immune-competent mice. ITCH interacts with and poly-ubiquitinates PD-L1/L2, and ITCH deficiency increases cell-surface PD-L1/L2 expression and reduces T cell activation. Mouse melanoma tumors grow faster with Itch knockdown only in syngeneic hosts but not in immune-deficient mice. MAPK inhibitor therapy induces tumor cell-surface PD-L1 expression in murine melanoma, recapitulating the responses of clinical melanoma3, and this induction is more robust with Itch knockdown. Notably, suppression of ITCH expression first elicits a shift toward an immune-suppressive microenvironment and then accelerates resistance development. These findings collectively identify ITCH as a critical negative regulator of PD-L1 tumor cell-surface expression and provide insights into previously unexplained role of PD-L1 in adaptive resistance to therapy.

miR-634 restores drug sensitivity in resistant ovarian cancer cells by targeting the Ras-MAPK pathway

Project description:The development of drug resistance is still a major impediment for the successful treatment of cancer, such as advanced stage ovarian cancer, which has a 5-year survival rate of only 30%. The molecular processes that contribute to resistance have been extensively studied, however, not much is known about the role of microRNAs. We compared microRNA expression profiles of three isogenic cisplatin sensitive and resistant cell line pairs. The only microRNA that was consistently downregulated (FDR = 0.000) in all resistant cell lines was miR-634. We investigated the effects of miR-634 modulation in ovarian cancer cell lines and patient derived tumor cells. Overexpression of miR-634 gave rise to a modest G1 phase block and enhanced apoptosis. Furthermore, miR-634 resensitized resistant ovarian cancer cell lines and patient derived tumor cells to cisplatin chemotherapy. Similarly, miR-634 enhanced the response of tumor cells to carboplatin and doxorubicin, but not to paclitaxel. We showed that miR-634 regulates cyclin D1 (CCND1), which is required for the G1-S phase transition, explaining the effects on the cell cycle. In addition, miR-634 repressed expression of GRB2, ERK2, RSK1 and RSK2, components of the Ras-MAPK pathway. Altogether, our findings suggest that miR-634 modulates several cancer relevant targets and therefore miR-634 is an attractive therapeutic candidate to resensitize chemotherapy resistant ovarian tumors. The miRNA expression profile was determined of three cisplatin sensitive/resistant cell line pairs (ovarian cancer cell line pair A2780/A2780 DDP; colon cancer cell line pair HCT8/HCT8 DDP; bladder cancer cell line pairT24/T24 DDP10).

Transcriptional regulation of the germline piRNA pathway in the Drosophila ovary

Project description:The gene-regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of the germline PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway components within the gonads of metazoan species remain largely unexplored. In contrast to the male germline piRNA pathway, which in mice is known to be activated by the testis-specific transcription factor A-MYB, the nature of the ovary-specific gene-regulatory network driving the female germline piRNA pathway remains a mystery. Here, using Drosophila as a model, we combined multiple genomics approaches to reveal the transcription factor Ovo as regulator of the germline piRNA pathway in ovarian germ cells. Ectopic expression of Ovo in ovarian somatic cells activates germline piRNA pathway components, including the ping-pong factors Aubergine, Argonaute-3, and Vasa, leading to assembly of perinuclear cellular structures resembling nuage bodies of germ cells. We found that in ovarian somatic cells, transcription of ovo is repressed by l(3)mbt, thus preventing expression of germline piRNA pathway genes in the soma. Cross-species ChIP-seq and motif analyses demonstrate that Ovo is binding to genomic CCGTTA motifs within the promoters of germline piRNA pathway genes, suggesting a regulation by Ovo in ovaries analogous to that of A-MYB in testes. Our results also show consistent engagement of the Ovo transcription factor family at ovarian piRNA clusters across metazoan species, reflecting a deep evolutionary conservation of this regulatory paradigm from insects to humans.

L-plastin Ser5 phosphorylation via RSKs, downstream effectors of the MAPK/ERK pathway, in (breast) cancer cells (and in vitro)

Project description:Deregulated cell migration and invasion, which are hallmarks of metastatic cancer cells, are correlated to structural and functional alterations of the actin cytoskeleton associated to a large panel of actin-binding proteins. Among these, the actin-bundling protein L-plastin, initially detected in leukocytes, is ectopically expressed in several solid tumours and is often considered as a metastatic marker. Phosphorylation of L-plastin on residue serine 5 (Ser5) has been shown to activate L-plastin and to be crucial for invasion and metastasis formation. Here, we investigate the signalling pathway leading to L-plastin Ser5 phosphorylation in four breast cancer cell lines. Whole genome microarray analysis comparing cell lines with different invasive capacities and corresponding L-plastin Ser5 phosphorylation levels revealed that genes of the MAPK/ERK pathway are differentially expressed. In line, in vitro kinase assays showed that MAPK/ERK pathway downstream kinases RSK1 and RSK2 are able to directly phosphorylate L-plastin on Ser5. In parallel to a knockdown approach, activation and inhibition studies of signalling molecules of the MAPK/ERK pathway, followed by computational modelling analysis, confirmed that RSK is an important activator of L-plastin in all four studied cell lines. Finally and rounding up our study, RSK knockdown significantly impaired migratory and invasive capacities of a selected invasive cell line, thus consolidating RSK as a promising therapeutic target in certain invasive carcinomas. Altogether, our data provide substantial evidence that the MAPK/ERK pathway is involved in L-plastin Ser5 phosphorylation in breast cancer cells with its downstream kinases RSK1 and RSK2 being able to directly phosphorylate L-plastin on Ser5.
