Abstract
Chaperonin-containing TCP1 (CCT) is a multi-subunit complex, known to participate the correct folding of many proteins. Currently, the mechanism underlying CCT subunits in cancer progression is incompletely understood. Based on data analysis, the expression of CCT subunit 6 A (CCT6A) is found higher than the other subunits of CCT and correlated with an unfavorable prognosis in colon cancer. Here, we find CCT6A silencing suppresses colon cancer proliferation and survival phenotype in vitro and in vivo. CCT6A plays a role in cellular process, including the cell cycle, p53, and apoptosis signaling pathways. Further investigations have shown direct binding between CCT6A and both Wtp53 and Mutp53, and BIRC5 is found to act downstream of CCT6A. The highlight is that CCT6A inhibition significantly reduces BIRC5 expression independent of Wtp53 levels in Wtp53 cells. Conversely, in Mutp53 cells, downregulation of BIRC5 by CCT6A inhibition mainly depends on Mutp53 levels. Additionally, combined CCT6A inhibition and Wtp53 overexpression in Mutp53 cell lines effectively suppresses cell proliferation. It is concluded CCT6A is a potential oncogene that influences BIRC5 through distinct pathways in Wtp53 and Mutp53 cells.
