Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) is destabilized by the Cul3-SPOP E3 ubiquitin ligase complex

Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) suppresses metastasis without affecting primary tumorigenesis. The regulatory mechanism of BRMS1 at the protein level has not been revealed until recently. Here, we found that cullin 3 (Cul3), a component of E3 ubiquitin ligase, is a new binding partner of BRMS1 and the interaction between BRMS1 and Cul3 is mediated by the SPOP adaptor protein. Intriguingly, BRMS1 turns out to be a potent substrate that is ubiquitinated by the Cul3–SPOP complex. Knockdown of SPOP increases the level of BRMS1 protein and represses the expression of BRMS1 repressive target genes such as OPN and uPA in breast cancer cells. These results suggest that the novel regulatory mechanism of BRMS1 by Cul3–SPOP complex is important for breast cancer progression.     

Modelling and simulation of mutant alleles of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) gene

Computational tools occupy the prime position in the analysis of large volume of post-genomic data. These tools have advantage over the wet lab experiments in terms of high coverage, cost and time. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females worldwide. It is a genetically heterogeneous disorder and many genes are involved in the pathway of the disease. Mutations in metastasis suppressor gene are the major cause of the disease. In this study, the effects of mutations in breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1gene upon protein structure and function were examined by means of computational tools and information from databases.This study can be useful to predict the potential effect of every allelic variant, devise new biological experiments and to interpret and predict the patho-physiological impact of new mutations or non-synonymous polymorphisms.     

Purification and characterisation of the breast cancer metastasis suppressor, BRMS1

The breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) is a member of a family of proteins that actively suppress tumour metastasis. Understanding BRMS1 mediated metastasis suppression is critical to the development of new therapies designed to prevent and treat patients with late stage breast cancer. To aid research into the functional aspects that underpin BRMS1 mediated metastasis suppression we have expressed and purified recombinant BRMS1 and produced BRMS1 polyclonal antibodies. Using these antibodies to immunoprecipitate endogenous BRMS1 containing complexes from MCF7 breast cancer cell lines we have identified, by mass spectrometry, the small heat shock protein Hsp27 in complex with BRMS1. We also show that the expression of both BRMS1 and Hsp27 are inversely correlated with metastatic potential.     

Breast Cancer Metastasis Suppressor 1 Regulates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Apoptosis via Suppressing Osteopontin Expression

Breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 (BRMS1) was originally identified as an active metastasis suppressor in human breast cancer. Loss of BRMS1 expression correlates with tumor progression, and BRMS1 suppresses several steps required for tumor metastasis. However, the role of BRMS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains elusive. In this study, we found that the expression level of BRMS1 was significantly down-regulated in HCC tissues. Expression of BRMS1 in SK-Hep1 cells did not affect cell growth under normal culture conditions, but sensitized cells to apoptosis induced by serum deprivation or anoikis. Consistently, knockdown of endogenous BRMS1 expression in Hep3B cells suppressed cell apoptosis. We identified that BRMS1 suppresses osteopontin (OPN) expression in HCC cells and that there is a negative correlation between BRMS1 and OPN mRNA expression in HCC tissues. Moreover, knockdown of endogenous OPN expression reversed the anti-apoptosis effect achieved by knockdown of BRMS1. Taken together, our results show that BRMS1 sensitizes HCC cells to apoptosis through suppressing OPN expression, suggesting a potential role of BRMS1 in regulating HCC apoptosis and metastasis.

Effect of BRMS1 on Tumorigenicity and Metastasis of Human Rectal Cancer

Breast cancer metastasis suppressor gene-1 (BRMS1) is newly discovered tumor metastasis gene, which has been reported to play an important role in the progression of human tumor. However, its role in rectal cancer has never been investigated. In this present study, we evaluated the associated of BRMS1 with colorectal cancer, its value in prognosis, and its role in metastasis of rectal cancer. BRMS1 expression examined in 80 patients and the role of BRMS1 in metastasis was studied using mice model. Our results showed that BRMS1 expression was significantly associated with clinicopathological parameters in rectal cancer patients and overexpression of BRMS1 in rectal cancer xenograft led to decreased growth, invasiveness and metastasis. Our findings indicate that high expression of BRSM1 in rectal cancer plays an essential role in tumor progression.
