RUNX3 takes a strong suppressive effect in many tumors including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HES-1, a downstream target of Notch signaling, is shown to be decreased in human HCC cell line SMMC7721 with RUNX3 gene transfection. Since Notch signaling is oncogenic in HCC, RUNX3 might exert its inhibitory effect in HCC partly through the suppression on Notch signaling. To investigate the possible mechanism of the down-regulation of HES-1 by RUNX3, we performed Western blot and reporter assay and found that RUNX3 suppressed intracellular domain of Notch1 (ICN1)-mediated transactivation of Notch signaling while it did not alter the expression of ICN1 and recombination signal binding protein-Jκ (RBP-J) in SMMC7721 cells. Besides, confocal microscopy, co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down assays showed that RUNX3 could co-localize with ICN1 and RBP-J, forming a complex with these two molecules in nucleus of SMMC7721 cells by its direct interaction with ICN1. Furthermore, RUNX3 was recruited to RBP-J recognition motif of HES-1 promoter, which was identified by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Taken together, these findings indicate that RUNX3 suppresses Notch signaling in HCC SMMC7721 cells by its interaction with ICN1 and thus recruitment to the RBP-J recognition motif of downstream genes of Notch signaling. 相似文献

The origin of the ankyrin repeat region in Notch intracellular domains is critical for regulation of HES promoter activity 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Notch signal transduction is mediated by proteolysis of the receptor and translocation of the intracellular domain (IC) into the nucleus, where it functions as a regulator of HES gene expression after binding to the DNA-binding protein RBP-J kappa. The mammalian Notch receptors are structurally very similar, but have distinct functions. Most notably, Notch 1 IC is a potent activator of the HES promoter, while Notch 3 IC is a much weaker activator and can repress Notch 1 IC-mediated HES activation in certain contexts. In this report we explore the molecular basis for this functional difference between Notch 1 and Notch 3 IC. We find that Notch 3 IC, like Notch 1 IC, can bind the SKIP and PCAF proteins. Furthermore, both Notch 1 and Notch 3 ICs displace the co-repressor SMRT from the DNA-binding protein RBP-J kappa on the HES promoter. The latter observation suggests that both Notch 3 IC and Notch 1 IC can access RBP-J kappa in vivo, and that the difference in activation capacity instead stems from structural differences in the two ICs when positioned on RBP-J kappa. We show that two distinct regions in the Notch IC are critical for the difference between the Notch 1 and Notch 3 IC. First, the origin of the ankyrin repeat region is important, i.e. only chimeric ICs containing a Notch 1-derived ankyrin repeat region are potent activators. Second, we identify a novel important region in the Notch IC. This region, named the RE/AC region (for repression/activation), is located immediately C-terminal to the ankyrin repeat region, and is required for Notch 1 IC's ability to activate and for Notch 3 IC's ability to repress a HES promoter. The interplay between the RE/AC region and the ankyrin repeat region provides a basis to understand the difference in HES activation between structurally similar Notch receptors. 相似文献
