Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a haematopoietic cytokine mainly produced by the liver and kidneys, which stimulates the production and maturation of megakaryocytes. In the past decade, numerous studies have investigated the effects of TPO outside the haematopoietic system; however, the role of TPO in the progression of solid cancer, particularly lung cancer, has not been well studied. Exogenous TPO does not affect non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells as these cells show no or extremely low TPO receptor expression; therefore, in this study, we focused on endogenous TPO produced by NSCLC cells. Immunohistochemical analysis of 150 paired NSCLC and adjacent normal tissues indicated that TPO was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and correlated with clinicopathological parameters including differentiation, P‐TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and tumour size. Suppressing endogenous TPO by small interfering RNA inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells. Moreover, TPO interacted with the EGFR protein and delayed ligand‐induced EGFR degradation, thus enhancing EGFR signalling. Notably, overexpressing TPO in EGF‐stimulated NSCLC cells facilitated cell proliferation and migration, whereas no obvious changes were observed without EGF stimulation. Our results suggest that endogenous TPO promotes tumorigenicity of NSCLC via regulating EGFR signalling and thus could be a therapeutic target for treating NSCLC. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) signalling regulates diverse cellular functions, promoting cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, cell growth and survival. EGFR signalling is critical during embryogenesis, in particular in epithelial development, and disruption of the EGFR gene results in epithelial immaturity and perinatal death. EGFR signalling also functions during wound healing responses through accelerating wound re-epithelialisation, inducing cell migration, proliferation and angiogenesis. Upregulation of EGFR signalling is often observed in carcinomas and has been shown to promote uncontrolled cell proliferation and metastasis. Therefore aberrant EGFR signalling is a common target for anticancer therapies. Various reports indicate that EGFR signalling primarily occurs at the plasma membrane and EGFR degradation following endocytosis greatly attenuates signalling. Other studies argue that EGFR internalisation is essential for complete activation of downstream signalling cascades and that endosomes can serve as signalling platforms. The aim of this review is to discuss current understanding of intersection between EGFR signalling and trafficking. 相似文献

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) regulates key cellular processes including proliferation and migration through the shedding of a diverse array of substrates such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ligands. ADAM17 is implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and cancers such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). As a central mediator of cellular events, overexpressed EGFR is a validated molecular target in HNSCC. However, EGFR inhibition constantly leads to tumour resistance. One possible mechanism of resistance is the activation of alternative EGFR family receptors and downstream pathways via the release of their ligands. Here, we report that treating human HNSCC cells in vitro with a human anti-ADAM17 inhibitory antibody, D1(A12), suppresses proliferation and motility in the absence or presence of the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) gefitinib. Treatment with D1(A12) decreases both the endogenous and the bradykinin (BK)-stimulated shedding of HER ligands, accompanied by a reduction in the phosphorylation of HER receptors and downstream signalling pathways including STAT3, AKT and ERK. Knockdown of ADAM17, but not ADAM10, also suppresses HNSCC cell proliferation and migration. Furthermore, we show that heregulin (HRG) and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor like growth factor (HB-EGF) predominantly participate in proliferation and migration, respectively. Taken together, these results demonstrate that D1(A12)-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation, motility, phosphorylation of HER receptors and downstream signalling is achieved via reduced shedding of ADAM17 ligands. These findings underscore the importance of ADAM17 and suggest that D1(A12) might be an effective targeted agent for treating EGFR TKI-resistant HNSCC. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) acts as a pro-metastatic factor in advanced breast cancer. RNF12, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, stimulates TGF-β signaling by binding to the inhibitory SMAD7 and inducing its proteasomal degradation. How RNF12 activity is regulated and its exact role in cancer is incompletely understood. Here we report that RNF12 was overexpressed in invasive breast cancers and its high expression correlated with poor prognosis. RNF12 promoted breast cancer cell migration, invasion, and experimental metastasis in zebrafish and murine xenograft models. RNF12 levels were positively associated with the phosphorylated AKT/protein kinase B (PKB) levels, and both displayed significant higher levels in the basal-like subtype compared with the levels in luminal-like subtype of breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, AKT-mediated phosphorylation induced the nuclear localization of RNF12, maintained its stability, and accelerated the degradation of SMAD7 mediated by RNF12. Furthermore, we demonstrated that RNF12 and AKT cooperated functionally in breast cancer cell migration. Notably, RNF12 expression strongly correlated with both phosphorylated AKT and phosphorylated SMAD2 levels in breast cancer tissues. Thus, our results uncovered RNF12 as an important determinant in the crosstalk between the TGF-β and AKT signaling pathways during breast cancer progression.Subject terms: Cancer, Cell biology 相似文献

RNF7 has been reported to play critical roles in various cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms of RNF7 in glioma development remain largely unknown. Herein, the expression level of RNF7 was examined in tissues by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The effect of RNF7 on glioma progression was measured by performing CCK-8 and apoptosis assays, cell cycle-related experiments and animal experiments. The effect of RNF7 on PI3K/AKT signalling pathway was tested by Western blotting. First, we found that RNF7 was upregulated in tumour tissue compared with normal brain tissue, especially in high-grade glioma, and the high expression of RNF7 was significantly related to tumour size, Karnofsky Performance Scale score and a poor prognosis. Second, RNF7 overexpression facilitated tumour cell cycle progression and cell proliferation and suppressed apoptosis. Conversely, RNF7 knockdown suppressed tumour cell cycle progression and cell proliferation and facilitated apoptosis. Furthermore, follow-up mechanistic studies indicated that RNF7 could facilitate glioma cell proliferation and cell cycle progression and inhibit apoptosis by activating the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. This study shows that RNF7 can clearly promote glioma cell proliferation by facilitating cell cycle progression and inhibiting apoptosis by activating the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. Targeting the RNF7/PI3K/AKT axis may provide a new perspective on the prevention or treatment of glioma. 相似文献

RNF168 facilitates proliferation and invasion of esophageal carcinoma,possibly via stabilizing STAT1
Na Yu Min Xue Weilong Wang Dongxue Xia Yajie Li Xiaofeng Zhou Dan Pang Kui Lu Jinghan Hou Aijia Zhang Ting Zhuang Lidong Wang Tingmin Chang Xiumin Li 《Journal of cellular and molecular medicine》2019,23(2):1553-1561
Oesophageal cancer ranks as one of the most common malignancy in China and worldwide. Although genome‐wide association studies and molecular biology studies aim to elucidate the driver molecules in oesophageal cancer progression, the detailed mechanisms remain to be identified. Interestingly, RNF168 (RING finger protein 168) shows a high frequency of gene amplification in oesophageal cancer from TCGA database. Here, we report an important function for RNF168 protein in supporting oesophageal cancer growth and invasion by stabilizing STAT1 protein. RNF168 gene is amplified in oesophageal cancer samples, which tends to correlate with poor prognosis. Depletion RNF168 causes decreased cell proliferation and invasion in oesophageal cancer cells. Through unbiased RNA sequencing in RNF168 depleted oesophageal cancer cell, we identifies JAK‐STAT pathway is dramatically decreased. Depletion RNF168 reduced JAK‐STAT target genes, such as IRF1, IRF9 and IFITM1. Immuno‐precipitation reveals that RNF168 associates with STAT1 in the nucleus, stabilizing STAT1 protein and inhibiting its poly‐ubiquitination and degradation. Our study provides a novel mechanism that RNF168 promoting JAK‐STAT signalling in supporting oesophageal cancer progression. It could be a promising strategy to target RNF168 for oesophageal cancer treatment. 相似文献

Ring finger protein 2 (RNF2), as a well-known E3 ligase, has an oncogenic role in various cancers. The role of RNF2 in colon cancer is still unknown. The aim of this work is to determine the biological role of RNF2 in colon cancer. We first examined the expression of RNF2 and interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) in colon cancer patients and colon cancer cell lines (SW480 and HCT116). Compared with normal tumor-adjacent tissues, RNF2 was up-regulated whereas IRF4 was down-regulated in the colon cancer tissues. RNF2 was also up-regulated in colon cancer cells with respect to human fetal colon epithelial cells. RNF2 overexpression enhanced the ability of proliferation, migration and invasion of SW480 cells, whereas RNF2 knockdown caused an opposite result in HCT116 cells. Furthermore, a tumor xenograft model was constructed to verify the impact of RNF2 overexpressed-SW480 cells on tumor growth. RNF2 up-regulation elevated Ki-67 proliferation index, accelerated the growth of tumor tissues, and led to severe colon tissue damage in the tumor xenograft mice. In addition, RNF2 interacted with IRF4, and repressed IRF4 protein expression. IRF4 was a substrate of RNF2, and RNF2 promoted the ubiquitination and degradation of IRF4. RNF2 overexpression increased the ability of proliferation, migration and invasion in SW480 cells by promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of IRF4. In conclusion, this work demonstrated that RNF2 promoted tumor growth in colon cancer by regulating ubiquitination and degradation of IRF4. Thus, RNF2 may be served as a potential therapeutic target for colon cancer. 相似文献

E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF126 (ring finger protein 126) is highly expressed in various cancers and strongly associated with tumorigenesis. However, its specific function in bladder cancer (BCa) is still debatable. Here, we found that RNF126 was significantly upregulated in BCa tissue by TCGA database, and our studies indicated that downregulation of RNF126 significantly inhibited cell proliferation and metastasis through the EGFR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in BCa cells. Furthermore, we identified PTEN, an inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, as a novel substrate for RNF126. By co-immunoprecipitation assays, we proved that RNF126 directly interacts with PTEN. Predominantly, PTEN binds to the C-terminal containing the RING domain of RNF126. The in vivo ubiquitination assay showed that RNF126 specifically regulates PTEN stability through poly-ubiquitination. Furthermore, PTEN knockdown restored cell proliferation, metastasis, and tumor formation of BCa cells inhibited by RNF126 silencing in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, these results identified RNF126 as an oncogene that functions through ubiquitination and degradation of PTEN in BCa.Subject terms: Bladder cancer, Diagnostic markers 相似文献

Objectives
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) compose a subpopulation of cells within a tumour that can self‐renew and proliferate. Growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (b‐FGF) promote cancer stem cell proliferation in many solid tumours. This study assesses whether EGF, bFGF and IGF signalling pathways are essential for colon CSC proliferation and self‐renewal.Material and methods
Colon CSCs were cultured in serum‐free medium (SFM) with one of the following growth factors: EGF, bFGF or IGF. Characteristics of CSC gene expression were evaluated by real time PCR. Tumourigenicity of CSCs was determined using a xenograft model in vivo. Effects of EGF receptor inhibitors, Gefitinib and PD153035, on CSC proliferation, apoptosis and signalling were evaluated using fluorescence‐activated cell sorting and western blotting.Results
Colon cancer cell HCT116 transformed to CSCs in SFM. Compared to other growth factors, EGF was essential to support proliferation of CSCs that expressed higher levels of progenitor genes (Musashi‐1, LGR5) and lower levels of differential genes (CK20). CSCs promoted more rapid tumour growth than regular cancer cells in xenografts. EGFR inhibitors suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis of CSCs by inhibiting autophosphorylation of EGFR and downstream signalling proteins, such as Akt kinase, extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2).Conclusions
This study indicates that EGF signalling was essential for formation and maintenance of colon CSCs. Inhibition of the EGF signalling pathway may provide a useful strategy for treatment of colon cancer. 相似文献13.

A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is highly expressed in various tumours and affects tumour progression. In this study, ADAM17 expression in 60 gastric cancer and 20 normal gastric mucosal tissues was assessed using immunohistochemistry. ADAM17 expression was higher in gastric cancer tissues than in normal gastric mucosal tissues (P < 0.0005). A significant relationship was identified between ADAM17 expression and the depth of tumour invasion, metastasis, and carcinoma stage. Furthermore, the effects of ADAM17 knockdown on the proliferation, cell invasion, and apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma cells (SGC-7901) were determined. SGC-7901 cells were transfected with ADAM17-shRNA, and cell proliferation and migration were assessed using CCK-8 and transwell assays, respectively, to evaluate the role of ADAM17 in tumour proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, the EGFR signalling pathway, the cell membrane receptor-bound TNF-α level, and apoptosis were evaluated by western blotting and flow cytometry. The inhibition of cell proliferation and invasion was observed in the ADAM17 knockdown cells, which was associated with modulation of the EGFR signalling pathway. Apoptosis was increased, and TNF-α signalling was attenuated in the ADAM17 knockdown cells. Our study demonstrated that ADAM17 over-expression in gastric cancer tissues was closely associated with tumour proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most frequent primary liver cancer worldwide. The use of antioxidants as cancer prevention and treatment agents has become a focus of research in recent years due to their limited adverse effects. Alpha lipoic acid (ɑ‐LA) is synthesized in the liver and is considered a naturally occurring antioxidant. In this study, a total of 4446 differentially expressed genes (2097 down‐regulated and 2349 up‐regulated) were identified via RNA‐Seq in HepG2 cells after exposure to α‐LA for 24 hrs. Moreover, GO and KEGG pathway analyses showed that cancer‐relevant cell membrane proteins were significantly affected. An interaction network analysis predicted that Grb2 might mediate the key target pathways activated by exposure to ɑ‐LA. Verification of the RNA‐Seq and iTRAQ results confirmed that Grb2 mediated the ɑ‐LA‐induced inhibition of cell proliferation in vitro. Furthermore, the analysis of human hepatocellular carcinoma specimens obtained from the GEO database showed that the expression of EGFR and Met correlated with that of Grb2. These findings provide a novel mechanism through which ɑ‐LA regulates cell proliferation via the down‐regulation of growth factor‐stimulated Grb2 signalling. 相似文献

The expression pattern, biological functions and the related mechanisms of the ring finger protein 19A (RNF19A) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the role of RNF19A, as well as the underlying potential mechanism, in the development of NSCLC. Here, we found that RNF19A was overexpressed in NSCLC tissues, and RNF19A expression in NSCLC tissue samples was associated with NSCLC carcinogenesis and poor outcome. RNF19A promoted the proliferation of NSCLC cells and inhibited apoptosis. RNF19A reduced p53, p21 and BAX expression and induced Cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK6 and BCL2 expression. The inhibitory effect of RNF19A knockdown on proliferation was partially rescued by p53 silencing. RNF19A interacted with p53, shortened p53 half-life and mediated p53 ubiquitin-degradation. Collectively, we suggest that RNF19A plays a critical oncogenic role in lung carcinogenesis by disrupting the function of p53. RNF19A may serve as a new biomarker and/or target for NSCLC management. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and their receptor (EGFR) play an important role in the development of cancer proliferation, and metastasis, although the mechanism remains unclear. The present study aimed at investigating the role of EGF‐EGFR signalling pathway in the development of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) inflammatory environment. Gene profiles of inflammatory cytokines from HCC were measured. Cell bio‐behaviours of HCC with low or high metastasis were detected by the live cell monitoring system. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK8. The protein level of CXCL5 and CXCL8 was measured by ELISA. The phosphorylation of PI3K, ERK, MAPK was measured by western blot. EGF significantly induced cell proliferation in HepG2 cells, but not in HCCLM3 cells. EGF prompted the cell movement in both HepG2 and HCCLM3 and regulated the production of CXCL5 and CXCL8 from HCC, which were inhibited by EGFR inhibitor, Erk inhibitor (U0126), or PI3K inhibitors (BEZ‐235 and SHBM1009). HCC proliferation, metastasis and production of inflammatory cytokines were regulated via EGF‐EGFR signal pathways. CXCL5 could interact with CXCL8, possibly by CXCR2 or the cross‐talk between CXCR2 and EGFR. EGF‐EGFR signaling pathway can be the potential target of therapies for HCC. 相似文献
