Project description:Previous studies have revealed that nuclear Miz1 is implicated in the regulation of several cancers mainly relying on its POZ domain. Current study, however, uncovers an unexpected function of cytoplasmic Miz1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In vivo HCC models in Miz1 and Miz1(POZ) KO mice along with RNA-sequencing experiments show that hepatocyte specific ablation of Miz1 exacerbates TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation and promotes the progression of HCC independent of its transcriptional activity. Ubiquitination and proteosomal degradation of cytoplasmic Miz1 liberates its novel partner Metadherin (MTDH), and its site specific phosphorylation is critical to NF-κB activation. These findings reveal a brand new role of cytosolic Miz1 as a suppressor of HCC, and provide profound insights into liver cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Project description:NF-κB has a crucial tumor-suppression role in chemical hepatocarcinogenesis (HCC) by preventing hepatocyte apoptosis-induced compensatory proliferation. However, NF-κB is typically activated in chemical HCC animal models and in ~40% HCC patients, in which its role in tumor progression is largely not known. Here we report that transcription factor Miz1 limits tumor-promoting function of NF-κB independently of its transcriptional activity in chemical HCC. In a murine model, hepatocyte-specific deletion of Miz1 exacerbates HCC progression. Miz1 loss results in a unique sub-group of hepatocytes with upregulated NF-κB activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine production, skewing infiltrating macrophages toward M1-like pro-inflammatory phenotype. Mechanistically, Miz1 sequestrates and prevents IKK-phosphorylation of Metadherin (MTDH), thereby inhibiting NF-κB nuclear translocation and transcription activity. In HCC patient specimens, Miz1 expression is inversely correlated with phosphorylation of RelA and MTDH, and poor prognosis. Thus, Miz1 preventing hepatocytes from promoting infiltrating macrophage M1-like phenotype and inflammation in chemical HCC progression.

Project description:Pro-inflammatory cytokines were shown to promote growth and survival of cancerous cells. TNF induced RelA:p50 NF-κB dimer via the canonical pathway is thought to link inflammation with cancer. Integrating biochemical and computational studies we identify that deficiency of non-canonical signal transducer p100 triggers a positive autoregulatory loop, which instead perpetuates an alternate RelB:p50 containing NF-κB activity upon TNF treatment. TNF stimulated RelB:p50 dimer is sufficient for mediating NF-κB target gene-expressions and suppressing apoptotic cellular death independent of principal NF-κB subunit RelA. We further demonstrate that activating mutations in non-canonical NF-κB module deplete multiple myeloma cells of p100, thereby, provoking autoregulatory RelB:p50 activation. Finally, autoregulatory control reinforces protracted pro-survival NF-κB response, albeit comprising of RelB:p50, upon TNF priming that protects myeloma cells with dysfunctional p100 from subsequent apoptotic insults. In sum, we present evidence for positive autoregulation mediated through the NF-κB system and its potential involvement in human neoplasm.

Project description:A20 is known key regulator of NF-κB activity and inflammatory response, but its role in the control of cell death receptor signaling is not completely understood. Although A20 is widely accepted anti-apoptotic protein, we demonstrate that elevated expression of A20 in both, human and murine keratinocytes results in sensitisation to TNF-induced cell death. We prove that the Ripoptosome formation in A20 overexpressing cells is prerequisite for the TNF-induced cell death execution. We demonstrate that both canonical and non-canonical NF-κB signaling pathways are regulated upon increase of A20 expression. A20 dependent alteration of cIAPs and TRAF1 expressions are involved in the multiple level control of cell death in keratinocytes with elevated A20 expression.

Project description:Background: Cancer immunotherapeutic strategies showed unprecedented results in the clinic. However, many patients do not respond to immuno-oncological treatments due to the occurrence of a plethora of immunological obstacles, including tumor intrinsic mechanisms of resistance to cytotoxic T cell attack. Thus, a deeper understanding of these mechanisms is needed to develop successful immunotherapies. Methods: To identify novel genes that protect tumor cells from effective T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, we performed a genetic screening in pancreatic cancer cells challenged with TILs and antigen-specific T cells. Results: The screening revealed 108 potential genes that protected tumor cells from T cell attack. Among them, salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) was one of the strongest hits identified in the screening. Both genetic and pharmacological inhibition of SIK3 in tumor cells dramatically increased T cell-mediated cytotoxicity in several in vitro co-culture models, using different sources of tumor and T cells. Consistently, adoptive T cell transfer of TILs led to tumor growth inhibition of SIK3 depleted cancer cells in vivo. Mechanistic analysis revealed that SIK3 rendered tumor cells susceptible to TNF secreted by tumor-activated T cells. SIK3 promoted NF-ΚB nuclear translocation and inhibited Caspase-8 and -9 after TNF stimulation. Chromatin accessibility and transcriptome analyses showed that SIK3 knockdown profoundly impaired the expression of pro-survival genes under the TNF-NF-ΚB axis. TNF stimulation led to SIK3-dependent phosphorylation of the NF-κB upstream regulators inhibitory-κB kinase (IKK) and NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha (IκBα) on the one side, and to inhibition of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) on the other side, thus sustaining NF-κB activation and nuclear stabilization. A SIK3 dependent gene signature of TNF-mediated NF-κB activation was found in a majority of pancreatic cancers where it correlated with increased cytotoxic T cell activity and poor prognosis.

Project description:The repair of skin and soft tissue defects has been a long-standing topic of interest in plastic surgery. Skin grafts and flaps are the most commonly used methods for such repair, but both have some disadvantages. If a high-quality skin flap transplantation outcome could be obtained through simple skin grafting, it would surely benefit a majority of patients. Transplantation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) into skin and soft tissue wounds is a promising “therapeutic angiogenesis” strategy in this context. In the present study, we used TNF-α to mobilize ADSCs for the tissue regenerative process. Then, we injected the TNF-α-activated ADSCs intradermally into the donor skin of full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs). TNF-α may activate ADSCs through the TNF-α/NF-κB pathway and enhance the ability of ADSCs to signal the paracrine secretion of the angiogenic factor IL-8, ultimately promoting the angiogenesis of donor skin. The use of vasculature-rich donor skin for grafting presented in our study could accelerate skin graft anastomosis; shorten the nutrient deprivation time of the epidermis, hair follicles, and dermis; and thereby improve the survival of FTSGs. Overall, the findings of the present study demonstrate a possible mechanism through which TNF-α acts on ADSCs to improve their angiogenic capacity and provide a novel approach for the repair of skin and soft tissue wounds.

Project description:Miz1 is a zinc finger protein that regulates expression of cell cycle inhibitors as part of a complex with Myc. Cell cycle-independent functions of Miz1 are poorly understood. Here, we use a Nestin-Cre transgene to delete an essential domain of Miz1 in the central nervous system (Miz1ΔPOZNes). Miz1ΔPOZNes mice display cerebellar neurodegeneration characterized by the progressive loss of Purkinje cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and biochemical analyses show that Miz1 activates transcription upon binding to a non-palindromic sequence present in core promoters. Target genes of Miz1 encode regulators of autophagy and proteins involved in vesicular transport that are required for autophagy. Miz1ΔPOZ neuronal progenitors and fibroblasts show reduced autophagic flux. Consistently, polyubiquitinated proteins and p62/Sqtm1 accumulate in the cerebella of Miz1ΔPOZNes mice, characteristic features of defective autophagy. Our data suggest that Miz1 may link cell growth and ribosome biogenesis to the transcriptional regulation of vesicular transport and autophagy.
