Project description:TalaA inhibits bladder cancer mainly through two approaches: 1) arresting cell cycle to suppress proliferation, 2) triggering ferroptosis to cause cell death. In molecular mechanism, TalaA can interact with MAPKs to repress the phosphorylation of transcription regulators. This study would open new avenues for bladder cancer treatment targeting MAPKs, inhibiting cell cycle and inducing ferroptosis.

Project description:Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the urinary tract with high recurrence and drug resistance in clinics. Alternative treatments from existing drugs might be a promising strategy. Nitazoxanide (NTZ), an FDA-approved antiprotozoal drug, has got increasingly noticed because of its favorable safety profile and antitumor potential, yet the effects in bladder cancer and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Herein, we find that NTZ induces mitochondrial damage and mitophagy initiation through PINK1-generated phospho-ubiquitin(pS65-Ub) and autophagy receptor-mediated pathway even in the absence of Atg5/Beclin1. Meanwhile, NTZ inhibits lysosomal degradation activity, leading to mitophagy flux impairment at late stage. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is critical in this process, as eliminating ROS with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) efficiently inhibits PINK1 signaling-mediated mitophagy initiation and alleviates lysosomal dysfunction. Co-treatment with NTZ and autophagy inhibitor Chloroquine (CQ) to aggravate mitophagy flux impairment promotes NTZ-induced apoptosis, while alleviation of mitophagy flux impairment with ROS scavenger reduced cell death. Moreover, we also discover a similar signaling response in the 3D bladder tumor spheroid after NTZ exposure. In vivo study reveals a significant inhibition of orthotopic bladder tumors with no obvious systemic toxicity. Together, our results uncover the anti-tumor activities of NTZ with the involvement of ROS-mediated mitophagy modulation at different stages and demonstrate it as a potential drug candidate for fighting against bladder tumors.

Project description:Ten-Eleven Translocation 1 (TET1) is a member of methylcytosine dioxygenase, which catalyse 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) that promote the demethylation process. The diminished expression of TET1 protein and 5-hmC in many tumors indicate a critical role for the maintenance of cell stability. However, role of TET1 in bladder cancer development remains unclear. Here we found that TET1 expression was downregulated in bladder cancer tissues compared with normal urothelium and was inversely related to patient overall survival. TET1 silencing in bladder cancer cells increase proliferation and inhibited cell migration and invasion while its re-expression inhibits their proliferation and the growth of tumor xenografts. Furthermore, we found that TET1 binds to the promoter of the TSG to maintain its hypomethylated which interacts with β-catenin and suppress its nuclear translocation, thus inhibiting β-catenin transcriptional activity and downstream genes. In conclusion, TET1 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in bladder cancer cells by suppressing β-catenin signaling. This study may facilitate efforts to therapeutic strategy for patients with bladder cancer.

Project description:Growing evidence has indicated that miR-193 is involved in the initiation and progression of malignancy, such as bladder cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, and colorectal cancer. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of miR-193 in the development of metastatic bladder cancer remains unknown. In the current study, we clarified the association of miR-193/N-myc was implicated in cancer metastasis. miR-193 expression increased in metastatic bladder cancer biopsies compared to the primary cases. Moreover, the elevation of miR-193 was correlated with the invasiveness, lymph node metastasis, and advanced stages of bladder cancer significantly. Downregulation of miR-193 by shRNA hampered proliferation and migration while inducing cell apoptosis. Furthermore, miR-193 sponged N-myc and diminished miR-103 expression. Overexpression of miR-193 released oncogene N-myc expression, leading to the promotion of cell proliferation and migration. Besides, knockout of miR-193 suppressed tumor growth in the human T24 mice models. Briefly, the present findings suggested that miR-193-N-myc were novel promising pathways for conquering bladder cancer progression.

Project description:Bladder cancer is a highly metastatic tumor and one of the most common malignant tumors originating in the urinary system. Although the application of immune checkpoint, including programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), achieved definite efficacy, the effect of immunotherapy for bladder cancer is still not very satisfactory. Therefore, it is very urgent to develop new targets to expand the options of immunotherapies. In this study, we utilized single cell sequencing to explore the cell composition and detected a subset of Treg cells with high expression of T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) and interleukin (IL)-32 molecules. Certainly, anti-tumor immune response was suppressed by this subset of Treg cells and IL-32 promoted the bladder cancer metastasis. Nevertheless, targeting TIGIT not only could reverse immunosuppression through restoring anti-tumor immune response mediated by T cells but suppressed the secretion of IL-32 and inhibited the metastasis of bladder cancer cells. Thus, our study provided a novel insight into the immunosuppression in bladder cancer and developed the TIGIT as the novel target for immunotherapy of bladder cancer. Furthermore, we also illustrated mechanism of the dual effect of targeting TIGIT in bladder cancer and revealed the metastasis-promoting effect of IL-32 in bladder cancer. Taken together, the discovery raises the possibility of TIGIT targets against bladder cancer from the bench to the bedside.

Project description:Emerging evidence has highlighted the importance of targeting EZH2 in bladder cancer owing to the highly mutated nature of bladder cancers harboring mutations in chromatin regulatory genes opposing Polycomb-mediated repression, with enhanced expression of EZH2 contributing to pathogenesis. Here we report that coordinated targeting of EZH2 and the retinoic acid signaling pathway caused the cytotoxic effects on bladder cancer cells by inducing a synergistic reduction in proliferative potential that was associated with increased apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in a cooperative manner. Moreover, combined treatment caused the modulation of the expression of certain genes towards an anti-oncogenic profile, as reflected by the stimulation of marker genes associated with apoptosis and differentiation. To investigate the effects on gene regulatory networks associated with fenretinide and GSK-126 treatments at a genome-wide scale, we performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of T24 cells. We further portrayed a molecular mechanism whereby EZH2 maintains H3K27me3-mediated repression of certain genes associated with unfolded protein response and some metabolic processes. This work also characterized an apoptotic program centered on the master transcriptional regulators C/EBPβ and CHOP. Our findings encourage the design of novel treatments employing retinoids coupled with EZH2 inhibitors in bladder carcinoma.

Project description:Treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer remains a major clinical challenge. Aberrant HGF/c-MET upregulation and activation is frequently observed in bladder cancer correlating with cancer progression and invasion. However, the precise mechanisms underlying HGF/c-MET mediated invasion in bladder cancer remains unknown. As part of a negative feedback loop SMAD7 binds to the E3 ligase SMURF2 targeting the TGFβ receptor for degradation. Under these conditions SMAD7 acts as an agonist disrupting the intermolecular interactions within SMURF2, permitting SMURF2 activation. We demonstrate that HGF stimulates TGFβ signaling by inducing c-SRC mediated phosphorylation of SMURF2 at two tyrosine residues impeding SMAD7 binding and enhancing SMURF2 C2-HECT domain interaction, resulting in SMURF2 inhibition and TGFβ receptor stabilization. This upregulation of the TGFβ pathway by HGF leads to TGFβ-mediated EMT and invasion. Using biologically relevant orthotopic mouse models we show that inhibition of TGFβ signaling completely prevents HGF induced bladder cancer invasion. Furthermore, we make a rationale for the use of TGFβ receptor and MEK inhibitors in the treatment of high grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancers or early stage muscle invasive bladder cancers.
