APOL1 encodes a secreted high-density lipoprotein, which has been considered as an aberrantly expressed gene in multiple cancers. Nevertheless, the role of APOL1 in the regulatory mechanisms of pancreatic cancer remains unknown and should be explored. We identified APOL1 was abnormally elevated in human pancreatic cancer tissues compared with that in adjacent tissues and was associated with poor prognosis. The effects of APOL1 in PC cell proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis was verified via functional in vitro and in vivo experiments. The results showed that knockdown of APOL1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and promoted apoptosis of pancreatic cancer. In addition, we identified APOL1 could be a regulator of NOTCH1 signaling pathway using bioinformatics tools, qRT-PCR, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and western blotting. In summary, APOL1 could function as an oncogene to promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis through activating NOTCH1 signaling pathway expression in pancreatic cancer; therefore, it may act as a novel therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.Subject terms: Oncogenes, Protein-protein interaction networks 相似文献

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynaecological malignancies and the sixth most common cause of cancer-related death among women. Here, we define the role and molecular mechanism of circ_0000043 (hereafter referred to as circ_PUM1) in the development and progression of endometrial carcinoma. QRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of circ_PUM1 in normal endometrial tissue and endometrial carcinoma tissues. Changes in cell function and tumorigenicity in nude mice were examined after circ_PUM1 overexpression or knockdown. Bioinformatic analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay were used to predict and analyse the miRNAs that circ_PUM1 binds. Gene expression changes were analysed using Western blot. Circ_PUM1 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial cancer tissues than in normal tissues. Up-regulation of circ_PUM1 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of endometrial carcinoma cells. Opposite results were observed with circ_PUM1 knockdown, and the tumorigenic ability of endometrial cancer cells after circ_PUM1 knockdown was reduced compared to control cells. Circ_PUM1 is capable of binding to miR-136, and up-regulating its target gene NOTCH3, which can be reversed by overexpression of miR-136. Circ_PUM1 can compete with miR-136, leading to up-regulation of NOTCH3, and thereby promote the development of endometrial cancer. 相似文献

Bladder cancer is a highly heterogeneous and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. EGF/EGFR activation causes the detachment of SHC-binding protein 1 (SHCBP1) from SHC adapter protein 1 (SHC1), which subsequently translocates into the nucleus and promotes cancer development via multiple signaling pathways. However, the role of the EGF-SHCBP1 axis in bladder cancer progression remains unexplored. Herein, we report that SHCBP1 is upregulated in bladder cancer tissues and cells, with cytoplasmic or nuclear localization. Released SHCBP1 responds to EGF stimulation by translocating into the nucleus following Ser273 phosphorylation. Depletion of SHCBP1 reduces EGF-induced cell migration and invasiveness of bladder cancer cells. Mechanistically, SHCBP1 binds to RACGAP1 via its N-terminal domain of amino acids 1 ~ 428, and this interaction is enhanced following EGF treatment. Furthermore, SHCBP1 facilitates cell migration by inhibiting RACGAP-mediated GTP-RAC1 inactivation, whose activity is indispensable for cell movement. Collectively, we demonstrate that the EGF-SHCBP1-RACGAP1-RAC1 axis acts as a novel regulatory mechanism of bladder cancer progression, which offers a new clinical therapeutic strategy to combat bladder cancer.Subject terms: Bladder cancer, RHO signalling 相似文献

Chemotherapy is a strategy for patients with advanced prostate cancer, especially those with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Prostate cancer stem cells (PCSCs) are believed to be the origin of cancer recurrence following therapy intervention, including chemotherapy. The mechanisms underlying the chemoresistance of PCSCs are still poorly understood. In the present study, fluorescence-activated cell sorting was used to isolate PCSCs from LNCaP and PC3 cell lines. 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide was used to measure the cell viability. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting were utilized to evaluate the mRNA and protein levels. ShRNA was employed to knock down target gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed to explore the detailed mechanism underlying ABCC1 expression. Our results revealed that the sorted PCSCs showed enhanced chemoresistance ability than matched non-PCSCs. Protein level of activated form of NOTCH1(ICN1) was significantly higher in PCSCs. Inhibition of NOTCH1 with shRNA could decrease ABCC1 expression, and improve chemosensitivity in PCSCs. Finally, ChIP–PCR showed ICN1 could directly bind to the promoter region of ABCC1. In conclusion, NOTCH1 signaling could transactivate ABCC1, resulting in higher chemoresistance ability of PCSCs, which might be one of the important mechanisms underlying the chemoresistance of PCSCs. 相似文献

Successful treatment of pancreatic cancer, which has the highest mortality rate among all types of malignancies, has challenged oncologists for decades, and early detection would undoubtedly increase favorable patient outcomes. The identification of proteins involved in pancreatic cancer progression could lead to biomarkers for early detection of this disease. This study identifies one potential candidate, cylindromatosis (CYLD), a deubiquitinase and microtubule-binding protein that plays a suppressive role in pancreatic cancer development. In pancreatic cancer samples, downregulation of CYLD expression resulted from a loss in the copy number of the CYLD gene; additionally, reduced expression of CYLD negatively correlated with the clinicopathological parameters. Further study demonstrated that CYLD deficiency promoted colony formation in vitro and pancreatic cancer growth in vivo. Mechanistic studies revealed that CYLD is essential for spindle orientation and properly oriented cell division; CYLD deficiency resulted in a substantial increase in chromosome missegregation. Taken together, these data indicate a critical role for CYLD in suppressing pancreatic tumorigenesis, implicating its potential as a biomarker for early detection of pancreatic cancer and a prognostic indicator of patient outcomes. 相似文献

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (PARPi) resistance remains a therapeutic challenge in ovarian cancer. High-mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) plays significant roles in the development of drug resistance of many cancers. However, the function of HMGB3 in PARPi resistance is poorly understood. In the current study, we clarified that HMGB3 was aberrantly overexpressed in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) tissues, and high HMGB3 levels indicated shorter overall survival and drug resistance in HGSOC. The overexpression of HMGB3 increased the insensitivity of ovarian cancer to PARPi, whereas HMGB3 knockdown reduced PARPi resistance. Mechanistically, PARP1 was identified as a novel interaction partner of HMGB3, which could be blocked using olaparib and was enhanced upon DNA damage conditions. We further showed that loss of HMGB3 induced PARP1 trapping at DNA lesions and inhibited the PARylation activity of PARP1, resulting in an increased DNA damage response and cell apoptosis. The PARPi-resistant role of HMGB3 was also verified in a xenograft mouse model. In conclusion, HMGB3 promoted PARPi resistance via interacting with PARP1, and the targeted inhibition of HMGB3 might overcome PARPi resistance in ovarian cancer therapy.Subject terms: Chemotherapy, Ovarian cancer, Ovarian cancer, Cancer therapeutic resistance 相似文献

Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are key enzymes that activate intracellular signaling molecules when a number of different growth factors bind to cell surface receptors. PI3Ks are divided into three classes (I, II, III), and enzymes of each class have different tissue specificities and physiological functions. The α-isoform (PI3K-C2α) of class II PI3Ks is considered ubiquitous and preferentially activated by insulin. Our previous study showed that suppression of PI3K-C2α leads to apoptotic cell death. The aim of this study is to determine whether depletion of PI3K-C2α affects ERK or PKB/Akt activity following stimulation with serum and insulin growth factors in Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing human insulin receptors (CHO-IR) and human HepG2 liver cells. Different antisense oligonucleotides (ODNs), which were designed based on the sequence of the C2 domain of the human PI3K-C2α gene, were transfected into cells to inhibit PI3K-C2α expression. Insulin- or serum-induced stimulation of ERK was significantly suppressed by depletion of PI3K-C2α, whereas phosphorylation of IRS-1 and the stimulation of PKB/Akt by insulin were not affected. The number of apoptotic cells was also increased by depletion of PI3K-C2α protein levels. Taken together, our data indicate that PI3K-C2α may be a crucial factor in the stimulation of ERK activity in response to serum or insulin, whereas it is less important for the stimulation of PKB/Akt activity in response to insulin. 相似文献

Recently, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) have been proven to regulate pancreatic cancer (PC) progression. We aimed to explore the pathogenesis of LINC00941 in PC regarding protein binding. By using PCR analysis, we found that LINC00941 was overexpressed in PC tissues and was higher in patients with liver metastasis than in patients without liver metastasis. In addition, high LINC00941 expression was associated with a poor prognosis. Functional experiments and mice models were respectively used to evaluate PC cell proliferation and migration in vitro and in vivo. The results suggested that LINC00941 overexpression promoted PC proliferation and metastasis. Subsequently, RNA pull-down, mass spectrometry (MS), and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) were performed to identify LINC00941-interacting proteins. The results suggested that ANXA2 was the potential LINC00941-interacting protein. Nucleotides 500–1390 of LINC00941 could bind to the Annexin 1 domain of ANXA2. LINC00941-mediated malignant phenotype of PC was reversed by ANXA2 depletion. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) followed by MS was conducted to determine the potential interacting protein of LINC00941. The results illustrated that NEDD4L, an E3 ligase involved in ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation, bound to the Annexin 1 domain of ANXA2 and promoted its degradation. Mechanically, LINC00941 functioned as a decoy to bind to ANXA2 and suppressed its degradation by enclosing the domain that binds to NEDD4L. Eventually, LINC00941 upregulated ANXA2 and activated FAK/AKT signaling, increasing PC cell proliferation and metastasis. This study indicates that LINC00941 promotes PC proliferation and metastasis by binding ANXA2 and potentiating its stability, leading to the activation of FAK/AKT signaling. Our data demonstrate that LINC00941 may serve as a novel target for prognosis and therapy.Subject terms: Metastasis, Cell signalling, Pancreatic cancer, Ubiquitylation 相似文献

Gemcitabine is the standard-of-care for chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and it can directly incorporate into DNA or inhibit ribonucleotide reductase to prevent DNA replication and, thus, tumor cell growth. Most pancreatic tumors, however, develop resistance to gemcitabine. Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1), a critical regulator in many cell cycle events, is significantly elevated in human pancreatic cancer. In this study, we show that Plk1 is required for the G1/S transition and that inhibition of Plk1 significantly reduces the DNA synthesis rate in human pancreatic cancer cells. Furthermore, the combined effect of a specific Plk1 inhibitor GSK461364A with gemcitabine was examined. We show that inhibition of Plk1 significantly potentiates the anti-neoplastic activity of gemcitabine in both cultured pancreatic cancer cells and Panc1-derived orthotopic pancreatic cancer xenograft tumors. Overall, our study demonstrates that co-targeting Plk1 can significantly enhance the efficacy of gemcitabine, offering a promising new therapeutic option for the treatment of gemcitabine-resistant human pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

Oxaliplatin is a commonly used platinum drug for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the treatment of CRC by oxaliplatin usually fails because of drug resistance, which results in a huge challenge in the therapy of CRC. Elucidation of molecular mechanisms may help to overcome oxaliplatin resistance of CRC. In our study, we revealed that KIAA1199 can promote oxaliplatin resistance of CRC. Mechanistically, KIAA1199 prevents oxaliplatin mediated apoptosis via up-regulated PARP1 derived from reduced endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by protein O-GlcNAcylation. In the meantime, KIAA1199 can also trigger epithelial mesenchymal transition by stabilizing SNAI1 protein via O-GlcNAcylation. Therefore, KIAA1199 has great potential to be a novel biomarker, therapeutic target for oxaliplatin resistance and metastasis of CRC. 相似文献

COP9 signalosome subunit 5 (CSN5) has been involved in the progression of diverse human cancers. MMP2 plays an important role in the metastasis of cancer cells. However, the roles and relationship of in pancreatic cancer (PC) is still unknown. Here, our data shown that both CSN5 and MMP2 were significantly upregulated in PC compared with the corresponding adjacent tissues, where a positive correlation in their expression and associated malignant characteristics were found. Further, silencing of CSN5 expression markedly inhibited PC invasion and metastasis in vitro and in vivo, accompanied by decreased MMP2 expression. Moreover, the anti-metastasis role of CSN5 silence was reversed by MMP2 overexpression, whereas knockdown of MMP2 decreased PC metastasis driven by upregulation of CSN5. Further investigation revealed that CSN5 regulated MMP2 expression via activation of FOXM1 in PC cells. Mechanistically, CSN5 directly bound FOXM1 and decreased its ubiquitination to enhance the protein stability of FOXM1. Taken together, the results indicate that CSN5 can contribute to PC invasion and metastasis through activation of FOXM1/MMP2 axis. 相似文献

Radiotherapy is an important treatment for many malignant tumors, but there are recent reports that radiation may increase the malignancy of cancer cells by stimulating expression of type IV collagenases. In this study, we examined changes in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors, such as the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, TIMP-2 and RECK, in response to irradiation in Panc-1 pancreatic cancer cells. Irradiation increased RECK protein levels but not mRNA levels, whereas no significant changes were found in TIMP-1 and TIMP-2. The enhanced RECK protein levels were associated with an increase in MMP inhibitory activity. However, irradiation slightly but reproducibly increased the invasiveness of the Panc-1 cells. Like irradiation, treatment of Panc-1 cells with transforming growth factor (TGF)-Beta1 led to a 2-fold increase in RECK protein levels. Transient transfection with Smad3 also increased RECK protein levels, but transfection with Smad7 markedly reduced them. Stable expression of Smad7 and treatment with SB431542, an inhibitor of TGF-Beta receptor I kinase, abolished TGF-Beta1- and radiation-mediated effects on RECK. Furthermore, irradiation increased levels of phosphorylated Smad3. We conclude that radiation post-transciptionally enhances RECK protein levels in Panc-1 cells, at least in part, via TGF-Beta signaling, and that irradiation increases Panc-1 invasiveness via a mechanism that may not be linked to MMP-2 activity. 相似文献

High levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), which is produced by stromal, endothelial, and cancer cells and has multiple complex effects on cancers, correlate with poor cancer prognosis. To more definitively study the role of endogenously produced PAI-1 in human pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) PANC-1 cell line biology, we used anti-PAI-1 shRNA to create stable PAI-1 deficient cells (PD-PANC-1s). PD-PANC-1s exhibited a heterogeneous morphology. While the majority of cells exhibited a cuboidal shape similar to the parental PANC-1 or the vector-infected control cells, numerous large cells with long filopodia and a neuronal-like appearance were observed. Although both Vector-control cells and PD-PANC-1s expressed mRNAs that are characteristic of mesenchymal, neural, and epithelial phenotypes, epithelial marker RNAs were up-regulated (e.g., E-cadherin, 32-fold) whereas mesenchymal marker RNAs were down-regulated (e.g., Thy1, ninefold) in PD-PANC-1s, suggesting mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition. Neural markers exhibited both up- and down-regulation. Immunocytochemistry indicated that epithelial-like PD-PANC-1s expressed E-cadherin and β-catenin in significantly more cells, while neural-like cells exhibited robust expression of organized β-3-tubulin. PAI-1 and E-cadherin were rarely co-expressed in the same cells. Indeed, examination of PAI-1 and E-cadherin mRNAs expression in additional cell lines yielded clear inverse correlation. Indeed, infection of Colo357 PAC cells (that exhibit high expression of E-cadherin) with PAI-1-expressing adenovirus led to a marked decrease in E-cadherin expression and to enhanced migration of cells from clusters. Our results suggest that endogenous PAI-1 suppresses expression of E-cadherin and differentiation in PAC cells in vitro, supporting its negative impact on tumor prognosis. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the major cause of cancer death worldwide in women. Patients with metastasis have poor prognosis and the mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis are not completely understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to have crucial roles in breast cancer development and progression. However, the underlying mechanisms by which lncRNA-driven breast cancer metastasis are unknown. The main objective of this paper is to explore a functional lncRNA and its mechanisms in breast cancer. Here we identified a novel lncRNA AC073352.1 that was significantly upregulated in breast cancer tissues and was associated with advanced TNM stages and poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. In addition, AC073352.1 was found to promote the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells in vitro and enhance breast cancer metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, we elucidated that AC073352.1 interacted with YBX1 and stabilized its protein expression. Knock down of YBX1 reduced breast cancer cell migration and invasion and could partially reverse the stimulative effects of AC073352.1 overexpressed on breast cancer metastasis. Moreover, AC073352.1 might be packaged into exosomes by binding to YBX1 in breast cancer cells resulting in angiogenesis. Collectively, our results demonstrated that AC073352.1 promoted breast cancer metastasis and angiogenesis via binding YBX1, and it could serve as a promising, novel biomarker for prognosis and a therapeutic target in breast cancer.Subject terms: Breast cancer, Cell invasion, Long non-coding RNAs 相似文献
