DEDD,a novel tumor repressor,reverses epithelial-mesenchymal transition by activating selective autophagy

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from their primary location to other parts of the body. Metastatic cancer is responsible for most cancer deaths. Increasing evidence indicates that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a crucial developmental program, contributes to control cancer invasion and metastasis. We recently reported that death effector domain-containing DNA-binding protein (DEDD), a key effector molecule for cell death signaling receptors, attenuates EMT and acts as an endogenous suppressor of tumor growth and metastasis. We found that DEDD physically interacts with the class III PtdIns 3-kinase complex containing PIK3C3 and BECN1, which controls critical aspects of autophagy; this interaction activates autophagy and induces the autophagy-mediated lysosomal degradation of SNAI/Snail and TWIST, two master inducers of the EMT process. Further study reveals that the DEDD-PIK3C3 interaction can support the stability of PIK3C3 to maintain autophagic activity and promote the degradation of SNAI and TWIST. Our finding indicates that DEDD is a prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of cancer metastasis. Moreover, regulation of the DEDD-PIK3C3 interaction may serve as an entry point to translate modifiers of this interaction into clinical endpoints.     

C2ORF40 suppresses breast cancer cell proliferation and invasion through modulating expression of M phase cell cycle genes

Recently, it has been suggested that C2ORF40 is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer. However, the mechanism for reduced expression of C2ORF40 and its functional role in breast cancers remain unclear. Here we show that C2ORF40 is frequently silenced in human primary breast cancers and cell lines through promoter hypermethylation. C2ORF40 mRNA level is significantly associated with patient disease-free survival and distant cancer metastasis. Overexpression of C2ORF40 inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. By contrast, silencing C2ORF40 expression promotes these biological phenotypes. Bioinformatics and FACS analysis reveal C2ORF40 functions at G2/M phase by downregulation of mitotic genes expression, including UBE2C. Our results suggest that C2ORF40 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer pathogenesis and progression and is a candidate prognostic marker for this disease.

ARPC4 promotes bladder cancer cell invasion and is associated with lymph node metastasis

The significance of actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 4 (ARPC4) expression in bladder cancer, and its potential role in the invasion and migration of bladder cancer cells, has yet to be determined. This study was to identify the correlation between ARPC4 and lymph node metastasis, and to determine the role of ARPC4 in the invasive migration of T24 bladder cancer cells. One hundred and ninety-eight bladder cancer tissues and 40 normal bladder and lymph node tissues were examined. Tissue microarrays were constructed and subjected to immunohistochemical stating for ARPC4. Multiple logistic analysis was used to determine risk factors associated with bladder cancer metastasis. ARPC4 expression in T24 bladder cancer cells was suppressed using small interfering RNA and changes in protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis. The proliferation of bladder cancer cells after knocking down of ARPC4 was determined by cell counting kit-8. The effects of ARPC4 knockdown on T24 cell invasion and migration was determined using transwell and wound healing assays. Immunofluorescence analysis was performed to examine changes in pseudopodia formation and actin cytoskeleton structure. The expression of ARPC4 was elevated in bladder cancer tissues than normal tissues (84.3% vs 27.5%, P < 0.001). The multivariate logistic analysis demonstrated that the level of ARPC4, as a risk factor, was correlated with lymphatic metastasis (P < 0.05). ARPC4 knockdown attenuated proliferation, migration, invasion, and pseudopodia formation in T24 cells. ARPC4 expression, as a risk factor, is associated with lymphatic metastasis and is upregulated in bladder cancer tissues in comparison with normal tissues. Inhibition of ARPC4 expression significantly attenuates the proliferation, migration, and invasion of bladder cancer cell, possibly due to defects in pseudopodia formation.     

MicroRNA-1296-5p suppresses the proliferation,migration, and invasion of human osteosarcoma cells by targeting NOTCH2

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a highly aggressive bone tumor with a poor prognosis. MicroRNAs are revealed to exerts essential roles in the carcinogenesis and tumor invasion of OS. But, the function of miR-1296-5p and its related mechanism in OS progression have not yet been studied. This study discovered the levels of miR-1296-5p in OS and corresponding noncancerous tissues, and we demonstrated that miR-1296-5p level was markedly downregulated in tumor specimens as compared with nontumor tissues. In addition, we discovered that miR-1296-5p was also underexpressed in OS cells compared with the hFOB1.19 osteoblast cells. Interestingly, the reduced expression of miR-1296-5p was confirmed to associated with large tumor size, advanced tumor stages, and distance metastasis, respectively. Patients with OS low-expressing miR-1296-5p showed a prominent shorter survival. In addition, gain-of-function assays verified that miR-1296-5p overexpression remarkably repressed OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Conversely, depletion of miR-1296-5p facilitated the growth and mobility of OS cells. Notably, miR-1296-5p inversely modulated notch receptor 2 (NOTCH2) in OS cells. The level of NOTCH2 messenger RNA was negatively correlated with miR-1296-5p level in OS samples. NOTCH2 knockdown markedly suppressed the abilities of MG-63 cell proliferation and mobility. More importantly, the restoration of NOTCH2 prominently rescued miR-1296-5p-induced tumor-suppressive effects on MG-63 cells. In conclusion, our study identified the reduced expression of miR-1296-5p, which contributed to OS progression. miR-1296-5p might be a promising prognostic marker and therapeutic target in OS.
