Gene expression data from hCdc73 knock-down HEK293 cells under confluent and sparse condition.

ABSTRACT: The parafibromin/hCdc73 is a component of the PAFc, which controls RNA polymerase II-mediated general transcription. In parathyroid carcinoma and familial autosomal dominant hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT), hCdc73 mutations are heavily implicated, yet the underlying mechanism of its carcinogenic action is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that hCdc73 specifically controls mRNA stability of p53, and p53-mediated apoptosis. hCdc73 is associated with mature p53 mRNA in the cytoplasm and facilitates its degradation. Cytoplasmic hCdc73 physically interacts with eEF1Bγ and hSki8, and this interaction is required to bind and destabilize p53 mRNA. Furthermore, enhanced association of p53 mRNA with a cancer driven hCdc73(K34Q) mutant was also observed. As a result, reduced p53 expression as well as enhanced cell proliferation was acquired in the hCdc73 (K34Q) overexpressed cells. Altogether, our findings indicate that hCdc73 directly targets p53 mRNA to repress p53 expression, and aberrant regulation of this interaction may lead to tumor progression.

Project description:The pathogenesis of primary hyperparathyroidism (I-HPT) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (II-PTH) remains to be elucidated. To characterize their pathophysiology, we investigated the effects of calcium and phosphate on cell proliferation and PTH release in an organ culture of parathyroid tissues. Dissected parathyroid tissues obtained from patients with I-HPT (adenoma) or II-PTH (nodular hyperplasia) were precultured on a collagen-coated membrane for 1-4 week. After exchanging the medium for one containing various concentrations of phosphate, PTH release and [3H]thymidine incorporation were studied. In contrast to dispersed parathyroid cells cultured in a monolayer, calcium decreased PTH release in a concentration-dependent manner in parathyroid tissues. Furthermore, when parathyroid tissues obtained from II-PTH were precultured for 1-4 weeks, PTH release and parathyroid cell proliferation were significantly increased in high-phosphate medium. These phosphate effects were also observed to a lesser extent in parathyroid tissues obtained from I-HPT, but there was no significant difference between I-HPT and II-HPT. Microarray analyses revealed that mRNA levels of PTH, CaSR, and VDR were well preserved, and several growth factors (e.g. TGF-beta1-induced protein) were abundantly expressed in II-PTH. Using organ cultures of hyperparathyroid tissues, in which PTH release and CaSR are well preserved for a prolonged period, we have demonstrated that phosphate stimulates parathyroid cell proliferation not only in II-PTH but also in I-HPT. Although the mechanism responsible for phosphate-induced cell proliferation remains to be elucidated, our in vitro findings suggest that both parathyroid tissues preserve to some extent a physiological response system to hyperphosphatemia as observed in normal parathyroid cells. These data will be published in Journal of Bone & Mineral Metabolism. Experiment Overall Design: Two conditioned experimets, low vs. high phosphate medium, cultured for 1 and 4 days
