Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a prevalent malignancy in women, casting a formidable shadow on their well-being. Positioned within the nucleolus, SUMO-specific protease 3 (SENP3) assumes a pivotal role in the realms of development and tumorigenesis. However, the participation of SENP3 in TNBC remains a mystery. Here, we elucidate that SENP3 exerts inhibitory effects on migration and invasion capacities, as well as on the stem cell-like phenotype, within TNBC cells. Further experiments showed that YAP1 is the downstream target of SENP3, and SENP3 regulates tumorigenesis in a YAP1-dependent manner. YAP1 is found to be SUMOylated and SENP3 deconjugates SUMOylated YAP1 and promotes degradation mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. More importantly, YAP1 with a mutation at the SUMOylation site impedes the capacity of wild-type YAP1 in TNBC tumorigenesis. Taken together, our findings firmly establish the pivotal role of SENP3 in the modulation of YAP1 deSUMOylation, unveiling novel mechanistic insight into the important role of SENP3 in the regulation of TNBC tumorigenesis in a YAP1-dependent manner.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biological Chemistry welcomes high-quality science that seeks to elucidate the molecular and cellular basis of biological processes. Papers published in JBC can therefore fall under the umbrellas of not only biological chemistry, chemical biology, or biochemistry, but also allied disciplines such as biophysics, systems biology, RNA biology, immunology, microbiology, neurobiology, epigenetics, computational biology, ’omics, and many more. The outcome of our focus on papers that contribute novel and important mechanistic insights, rather than on a particular topic area, is that JBC is truly a melting pot for scientists across disciplines. In addition, JBC welcomes papers that describe methods that will help scientists push their biochemical inquiries forward and resources that will be of use to the research community.
