RNA-binding protein LIN28A is often highly expressed in human malignant tumors and is involved in tumor metastasis and poor prognosis. Knowledge about post-translational regulatory mechanisms governing LIN28A protein stability and function is scarce. Here, we investigated the role of ubiquitination and deubiquitination on LIN28A protein stability and report that LIN28A protein undergoes ubiquitination. Ubiquitin-specific protease 28 (USP28), a deubiquitinating enzyme, interacts with and stabilizes LIN28A protein to extend its half-life. USP28, through its deubiquitinating activity, antagonizes LIN28A protein turnover by reversing its proteasomal degradation. Our study describes the consequential impacts of USP28-mediated stabilization of LIN28A protein on enhancing cancer cell viability, migration and ultimately augmenting LIN28A-mediated tumor progression. Overall, our data suggest that a synergistic, combinatorial approach of targeting LIN28A with USP28 would contribute to effective cancer therapeutics. 相似文献

Mdm2 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes its own ubiquitination and also ubiquitination of the p53 tumour suppressor. In a bacterial two-hybrid screen, using Mdm2 as bait, we identified an Mdm2-interacting peptide that bears sequence similarity to the deubiquitinating enzyme USP2a. We have established that full-length USP2a associates with Mdm2 in cells where it can deubiquitinate Mdm2 while demonstrating no deubiquitinating activity towards p53. Ectopic expression of USP2a causes accumulation of Mdm2 in a dose-dependent manner and consequently promotes Mdm2-mediated p53 degradation. This differs from the behaviour of HAUSP, which deubiquitinates p53 in addition to Mdm2 and thus protects p53 from Mdm2-mediated degradation. We further demonstrate that suppression of endogenous USP2a destabilises Mdm2 and causes accumulation of p53 protein and activation of p53. Our data identify the deubiquitinating enzyme USP2a as a novel regulator of the p53 pathway that acts through its ability to selectively target Mdm2. 相似文献

USP28 (ubiquitin-specific protease 28) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that has been implicated in the DNA damage response, the regulation of Myc signaling, and cancer progression. The half-life stability of major regulators of critical cellular pathways depends on the activities of specific ubiquitin E3 ligases that target them for proteosomal degradation and deubiquitinating enzymes that promote their stabilization. One function of the post-translational small ubiquitin modifier (SUMO) is the regulation of enzymatic activity of protein targets. In this work, we demonstrate that the SUMO modification of the N-terminal domain of USP28 negatively regulates its deubiquitinating activity, revealing a role for the N-terminal region as a regulatory module in the control of USP28 activity. Despite the presence of ubiquitin-binding domains in the N-terminal domain, its truncation does not impair deubiquitinating activity on diubiquitin or polyubiquitin chain substrates. In contrast to other characterized USP deubiquitinases, our results indicate that USP28 has a chain preference activity for Lys11, Lys48, and Lys63 diubiquitin linkages. 相似文献

Ubiquitin-specific protease 42 (USP42) is a member of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). The alterations of DUBs are implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of tumors. However, there are few studies on the expression and biological function of USP42 in gastric cancer (GC). Here, the expression levels of USP42 were significantly higher in GC tissues than in non-tumorous tissues. USP42 expression was significantly correlated with tumor size, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis and overall survival of patients with GC. Moreover, USP42 silencing in two GC cell lines, AGS and MKN-45, notably inhibited cell proliferation, but stimulated G1 phase arrest. The proteins promoting cell cycle progression (Cyclin D1, Cyclin E1 and PCNA) were down-regulated in USP42-suppressed cells. Moreover, inhibition of USP42 in GC cells impaired cell invasion via affecting the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulators. In conclusion, USP42 overexpression could be a potential prognostic marker for GC, regulate the survival and invasive properties of GC, and may represent a novel therapeutic molecular target for this tumor. 相似文献

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) have important biological functions, but their roles in breast cancer metastasis are not completely clear. In this study, through screening a series of DUBs related to breast cancer distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database, we identified ubiquitin-specific protease 12 (USP12) as a key deubiquitinating enzyme for breast cancer metastasis. We confirmed this via an orthotopic mouse lung metastasis model. We revealed that the DMFS of breast cancer patients with high USP12 was worse than that of others. Knockdown of USP12 decreased the lung metastasis ability of 4T1 cells, while USP12 overexpression increased the lung metastasis ability of these cells in vivo. Furthermore, our results showed that the supernatant from USP12-overexpressing breast cancer cells could promote angiogenesis according to human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) migration and tube formation assays. Subsequently, we identified midkine (MDK) as one of its substrates. USP12 could directly interact with MDK, decrease its polyubiquitination and increase its protein stability in cells. Overexpression of MDK rescued the loss of angiogenesis ability mediated by knockdown of USP12 in breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. There was a strong positive relationship between USP12 and MDK protein expression in clinical breast cancer samples. Consistent with the pattern for USP12, high MDK expression predicted lower DMFS and overall survival (OS) in breast cancer. Collectively, our study identified that USP12 is responsible for deubiquitinating and stabilizing MDK and leads to metastasis by promoting angiogenesis. Therefore, the USP12–MDK axis could serve as a potential target for the therapeutic treatment of breast cancer metastasis.Subject terms: Breast cancer, Breast cancer 相似文献

Melanoma is the most malignant skin cancer with increasing incidence worldwide. Although innovative therapies such as BRAF inhibitor and immune checkpoint inhibitor have gained remarkable advances, metastatic melanoma remains an incurable disease for its notorious aggressiveness. Therefore, further clarification of the underlying mechanism of melanoma pathogenesis is critical for the improvement of melanoma therapy. Ubiquitination is an important regulatory event for cancer hallmarks and melanoma development, and the deubiquitinating enzymes including ubiquitin‐specific peptidase (USP) families are greatly implicated in modulating cancer biology. Herein, we first found that the expression of the deubiquitinase USP4 was significantly up‐regulated in melanoma tissues and cell lines. Furthermore, although USP4 knockdown had little impact on melanoma cell proliferation, it could increase the sensitivity to DNA damage agent cisplatin. We subsequently showed that USP4 regulated cisplatin‐induced cell apoptosis via p53 signalling. More importantly, USP4 could accentuate the invasive and migratory capacity of melanoma cells by promoting epithelial‐mesenchymal transition. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the up‐regulated USP4 plays an oncogenic role in melanoma by simultaneously suppressing stress‐induced cell apoptosis and facilitating tumour metastasis. 相似文献

Overexpressed CEACAM6 in tumor tissues plays important roles in invasion, metastasis and anoikis resistance in a variety of human cancers. We recently reported that CEACAM6 expression is upregulated in Gastric cancer (GC) tissues and promoted GC metastasis. Here, we report that CEACAM6 promotes peritoneal metastases in
vivo and is negatively correlated with E-cadherin expression in GC tissues. Overexpressed CEACAM6 induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in GC, as measured by increases in the EMT markers N-cadherin, Vimentin and Slug while E-cadherin expression was decreased in CEACAM6-overexpressing GC cells; opposing results were observed in CEACAM6-silenced cells. Furthermore, E-cadherin expression was negatively correlated with depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage in GC tissues. Additionally, CEACAM6 elevated matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity in GC, and anti-MMP-9 antibody could reverse the increasing invasion and migration induced by CEACAM6. CEACAM6 also increased the levels of phosphorylated AKT, which is involved in the progression of a variety of human tumors. We further observed that , a PI3K inhibitor, could reverse CEACAM6-induced EMT via mesenchymal-epithelial transition. These findings suggest that CEACAM6 enhances invasion and metastasis in GC by promoting EMT via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. LY294002相似文献

Up to date, the mechanism of gastric cancer (GC) development is poorly understood. This study was to demonstrate the effects of LINC00339 on GC progression. Here, we found that LINC00339 was overexpressed expressed in GC tissues and predicted poor outcome. By CCK8, colony formation and Transwell assays, we showed LINC00339 knockdown suppressed GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Flow cytometry analysis (FACS) indicated that LINC00339 knockdown induced tumor cell apoptosis. Besides, we utilized the xenograft assay and found that LINC00339 depletion led to decreased tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, miR-377-3p was found to be inhibited by LINC00339. And LINC00339 suppressed miR-377-3p to upregulate DCP1A, which consequently promoted GC progression. In conclusion, LINC00339 promotes gastric cancer progression by elevating DCP1A expression via inhibiting miR-377-3p. 相似文献

USP7 (HAUSP) is a deubiquitinating enzyme, which plays a crucial role in regulating the levels of the p53 tumour suppressor protein, through its ability to prevent the proteasomal degradation of the Ubiquitin ligase for p53, Hdm2. Supporting evidence suggests that an inhibitor of USP7 would act to abrogate the action of Hdm2, and thereby elevate levels of the p53 protein, with associated therapeutic benefits in cancer and potentially other diseases. In this article, we describe the characterisation of differential enzyme activity of both the full length and putative catalytic domain of human USP7 expressed in both bacterial and insect cell expression systems. We also demonstrate the way in which variations in the reducing environment surrounding the enzyme can dramatically affect both the stability of the enzyme and the range of small molecules able to inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Furthermore, we describe the validation and use of this assay for a high-throughput screening approach, again highlighting the critical nature of the enzyme's environment. Taken together, these findings not only increase our understanding of the enzymatic activity of deubiquitinating enzymes, but also highlight several key considerations of importance in the development of therapeutic agents against this novel class of therapeutic targets. 相似文献

SDS3 is a key component of the histone deacetylase (HDAC)-dependent Sin3A co-repressor complex, serving to maintain its HDAC activity. Here, we report both exogenous and endogenous functional interaction between deubiquitinating enzyme USP17 and human SDS3 by MALDI-TOF-MS, co-immunoprecipitation assay, and GST pull-down assay. In this study, we demonstrated that SDS3 readily undergoes endogenous polyubiquitination, which is associated specifically with Lys-63-branched polyubiquitin chains and not with Lys-48-branched polyubiquitin chains. Further, we also demonstrated that USP17 specifically deubiquitinates Lys-63-linked ubiquitin chains from SDS3 and regulates its biological functions. The deubiquitinating activity of USP17 on SDS3 negatively regulates SDS3-associated HDAC activity. The constitutive expression of USP17 and its substrate SDS3 was involved in the inhibition of anchorage-independent tumor growth and blocks cell proliferation, leading to apoptosis in cervical carcinoma cells. Furthermore, we showed that USP17 and SDS3 mutually interact with each other to regulate cancer cell viability. These data support the possibility that SDS3, being a substrate of USP17, may play an important role in developing a novel therapeutic means to inhibit specific HDAC activities in cancer. 相似文献

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) metastasis determines the prognosis of patients, and exploring the molecular mechanism of GC metastasis is expected to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Recent studies have shown that extracellular matrix protein is closely related to GC metastasis. The present study aimed to explore the expression profile and role of COL5A2, as an extracellular matrix protein, in GC.Methods: The expression, overall survival, and progression-free survival data of COL5 family members were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, respectively. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis of the database was performed out to identify modules and associated genes.Results: COL5A2 was selected as our research target in the TCGA database, and was also verified in the GSE62229 and GSE62229 datasets. COL5A2 was up-regulated in GC tissues by paraffin immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR. The prognosis of patients with low COL5A2 expression was better than that of patients with high COL5A2 expression. Scratch and migration experiments showed that knockdown of COL5A2 decreased the migration ability of gastric cancer cells compared with the control group. In vivo, mice with tail vein injection COL5A2 knockdown had fewer and smaller metastatic nodules in liver. GSEA results showed that the TCGA and GSE15459 samples were significantly enriched in several well-known cancer-related pathways, such as the TGF-β, MAPK, and JAK2 signaling pathways.Conclusion: COL5A2 was most closely related to advanced GC among COL5 family members. High COL5A2 expression is associated with a poor prognosis, and may be a novel therapeutic target for GC. GSE62229相似文献

Mounting evidence has illustrated the vital roles of long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs in gastric cancer (GC). Nevertheless, the majority of their roles and mechanisms in GC are still largely unknown. In this study, we investigate the roles of lncRNA SLC25A5‐AS1 on tumourigenesis and explore its potential mechanisms in GC. The results showed that the expressions of SLC25A5‐AS1 in GC were significantly lower than that of adjacent normal tissues, which were significantly associated with tumour size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. Moreover, SLC25A5‐AS1 could inhibit GC cell proliferation, induce G1/G1 cell cycle arrest and cell apoptosis in vitro, as well as GC growth in vivo. Dual‐luciferase reporter assay confirmed the direct interaction between SLC25A5‐AS1 and miR‐19a‐3p, rescue experiment showed that co‐transfection miR‐19a‐3p mimics and pcDNA‐SLC25A5‐AS1 could partially restore the ability of GC cell proliferation and the inhibition of cell apoptosis. The mechanism analyses further found that SLC25A5‐AS1 might act as a competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNA), which was involved in the derepression of PTEN expression, a target gene of miR‐19a‐3p, and regulate malignant phenotype via PI3K/AKT signalling pathway in GC. Taken together, this study indicated that SLC25A5‐AS1 was down‐regulated in GC and functioned as a suppressor in the progression of GC. Moreover, it could act as a ceRNA to regulate cellular behaviours via miR‐19a‐3p/PTEN/PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. Thus, SLC25A5‐AS1 might be served as a potential target for cancer therapeutics in GC. 相似文献

The deubiquitinating enzyme USP2a has shown oncogenic properties in many cancer types by impairing ubiquitination of FASN, MDM2, MDMX or Aurora A. Aberrant expression of USP2a has been linked to progression of human tumors, particularly prostate cancer. However, little is known about the role of USP2a or its mechanism of action in bladder cancer. Here, we provide evidence that USP2a is an oncoprotein in bladder cancer cells. Enforced expression of USP2a caused enhanced proliferation, invasion, migration and resistance to several chemotherapeutic reagents, while USP2a loss resulted in slower proliferation, greater chemosensitivity and reduced migratory/invasive capability compared with control cells. USP2a, but not a catalytically inactive mutant, enhanced proliferation in immortalized TRT-HU1 normal human bladder epithelial cells. USP2a bound to cyclin A1 and prevented cyclin A1 ubiquitination, leading to accumulation of cyclin A1 by a block in degradation. Enforced expression of wild type USP2a, but not an inactive USP2a mutant, resulted in cyclin A1 accumulation and increased cell proliferation. We conclude that USP2a impairs ubiquitination and stabilizes an important cell cycle regulator, cyclin A1, raising the possibility of USP2a targeting as a therapeutic strategy against bladder tumors in combination with chemotherapy. 相似文献

Several microRNAs are associated with carcinogenesis and tumour progression. Herein, our observations suggest both miR24-2 and Pim1 are up-regulated in human liver cancers, and miR24-2 accelerates growth of liver cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, miR24-2 increases the expression of N6-adenosine-methyltransferase METTL3 and thereafter promotes the expression of miR6079 via RNA methylation modification. Furthermore, miR6079 targets JMJD2A and then increased the tri-methylation of histone H3 on the ninth lysine (H3K9me3). Therefore, miR24-2 inhibits JMJD2A by increasing miR6079 and then increases H3K9me3. Strikingly, miR24-2 increases the expression of Pim1 dependent on H3K9me3 and METTL3. Notably, our findings suggest that miR24-2 alters several related genes (pHistone H3, SUZ12, SUV39H1, Nanog, MEKK4, pTyr) and accelerates progression of liver cancer cells through Pim1 activation. In particular, Pim1 is required for the oncogenic action of miR24-2 in liver cancer. This study elucidates a novel mechanism for miR24-2 in liver cancer and suggests that miR24-2 may be used as novel therapeutic targets of liver cancer. 相似文献

In cancer metastasis, secreted proteins play an important role in promoting cancer cell migration and invasion and thus also in the increase of cancer metastasis in the extracellular microenvironment. In this study, we developed a strategy that combined a simple gel-aided protein purification with iTRAQ labeling to quantify and discover the metastasis-associated proteins in the lung cancer cell secretome. Secreted proteins associated with lung cancer metastasis were produced using CL1-0 and CL1-5 cells with different metastatic abilities. Quantitative secretomics analysis identified a total of 353 proteins, 7 of which were considered to be metastasis-associated proteins. These included TIMP1, COL6A1, uPA, and AAT, all of which were higher in CL1-5, and AL1A1, PRDX1, and NID1, which were higher in CL1-0. Six of these metastasis-associated proteins were validated with Western blot analysis. In addition, pathway analysis was performed in building the interaction network between the identified metastasis-associated proteins. Further functional analysis of COL6A1 on the metastatic abilities of CL1 cells was also carried out. An RNA interference-based knock-down of COL6A1 suppressed the metastatic ability of CL1-5 cells; in contrast, a plasmid-transfected overexpression of COL6A1 increased the metastatic ability of CL1-0 cells. This study describes a simple and high throughput sample purification method that can be used for the quantitative secretomics analysis of metastasis-associated proteins. 相似文献
