However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of TPD52 in cancer progression are still under investigation. In this study, we report that the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by AICAR (5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) inhibited the LNCaP and VCaP cells growth by silencing TPD52 expression. Activation of AMPK inhibited the proliferation and migration of LNCaP and VCaP cells. Interestingly, AICAR treatment to LNCaP and VCaP cells led to the downregulation of TPD52 via activation of GSK3β by a decrease of inactive phosphorylation at Ser9. Moreover, in AICAR treated LNCaP cells, inhibition of GSK3β by LiCl attenuated downregulation of TPD52 indicating that AICAR acts via GSK3β. Furthermore, we found that TPD52 interacts with serine/threonine kinase 11 or Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) a known tumor suppressor and an upstream kinase for AMPK. The molecular modeling and MD simulations indicates that the interaction between TPD52 and LKB1 leads to inhibition of the kinase activity of LKB1 as its auto-phosphorylation sites were masked in the complex. Consequently, TPD52-LKB1 interaction may lead to inactivation of AMPK. Moreover, overexpression of TPD52 is found to be responsible for the reduction of pLKB1 (Ser428) and pAMPK (Thr172). Therefore, TPD52 may be playing its oncogenic role via suppressing the AMPK activation. Altogether, our results revealed a new mechanism of PCa progression in which TPD52 overexpression inhibits AMPK activation by interacting with LKB1. These results support that the use of AMPK activators and/or small molecules that could disrupt the TPD52-LKB1 interaction might be useful to suppress PCa cell growth.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":"17 3","pages":"957-974"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10409946/pdf/12079_2023_Article_745.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10131998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed a comprehensive analysis of BMP-1-altered glycome profiles and subsequent assays to identify the target glycoproteins in human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) by a glycomic approach. In the presence of BMP-1, a lectin microarray analysis and lectin-probed blotting showed that α2,6-sialylation was significantly attenuated in insoluble fractions from hDPCs. Six proteins were identified by a mass spectrometry analysis of α2,6-sialylated glycoproteins purified using a lectin column. Among them, glucosylceramidase (GBA1) was found to accumulate in the nuclei of hDPCs in the presence of BMP-1. Moreover, BMP-1-induced cellular communication network factor (CCN) 2 expression, which is well known as the osteogenesis/chondrogenesis marker, was significantly suppressed in the cells transfected with GBA1 siRNA. Furthermore, importazole, a potent inhibitor of importin-β-mediated nuclear import significantly suppressed BMP-1-induced GBA1 nuclear accumulation and BMP-1-induced CCN2 mRNA expression, respectively. Thus, BMP-1 facilitates the accumulation of GBA1 in the nucleus through the reduction of α2,6-sialic acid, which potentially contributes to the transcriptional regulation of the CCN2 gene via importin-β-mediated nuclear import pathway in hDPCs.
