Abstract
G protein-coupled receptor 35 (GPR35) has been implicated in cancer, but the functional roles of its isoforms remain unresolved. Here, we characterize GPR35-long, an N-terminally extended epithelial isoform selectively enriched in colorectal cancer and cholangiocarcinoma. Mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry confirmed GPR35-long protein expression in tumor cells. Functional analyses revealed that GPR35-long supports tumor-associated transcriptional programs, enhances cellular ATP production, and exhibits increased constitutive and ligand-induced beta-arrestin signaling. These phenotypes were selectively suppressed by the inverse agonist CID-2745687, identifying GPR35-long as a functionally distinct isoform with selective pharmacological sensitivity in tumor cells.
期刊介绍:
FEBS Letters is one of the world''s leading journals in molecular biology and is renowned both for its quality of content and speed of production. Bringing together the most important developments in the molecular biosciences, FEBS Letters provides an international forum for Minireviews, Research Letters and Hypotheses that merit urgent publication.
