TSPAN8 a plasticity marker is transcriptionally regulated through DUSP19 BRD4 crosstalk in Prostate Cancer cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To identify upstream regulators of TSPAN8 transcription, we screened a library of 298 phosphatases using a GFP reporter under the control of the TSPAN8 promoter in PC3 cells. DUSP19 emerged as the strongest negative regulator. Unexpectedly, DUSP19-mediated regulation of TSPAN8 was independent of its canonical JNK pathway: pharmacological JNK inhibition with SP600125 did not affect TSPAN8 expression, and pJNK/JNK levels were unchanged by siDUSP19. RNA-seq combined with promoter binding-site analysis identified BRD4 as the candidate effector linking DUSP19 to TSPAN8 transcription, and pharmacological BRD4 inhibition (AZD5153) reversed the siDUSP19-induced TSPAN8 upregulation at both mRNA and protein levels. Additionally, TSPAN8 accumulation is significantly higher in biopsies SYNAPTOPHYSIN+.
