For all these reasons, MYC has long been considered as a compelling therapeutic target. However, pharmacological inhibition of MYC function has proven difficult due to a lack of a drug-binding pocket. Here, we demonstrate that the potent abrogation of MYC gene transcription by CBL0137 induces immunogenic cell death and reduces proliferation in MYC-high but not in MYC-low TNBC in vitro. CBL0137 also significantly inhibited the in vivo growth of primary tumors in a human MYC-high TNBC xenograft model (MDA-MB-231). Moreover, CBL0137 inhibited the tumor growth of highly aggressive mouse 4T1.2 syngeneic TNBC model in immunocompetent mice by inhibiting the MYC pathway and inducing Type I interferon responses. Immune profiling of CBL0137-treated mice revealed significantly enhanced tumor-specific immune responses and increased proportions of tumor infiltrating effector CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and NK cells. CBL0137-induced immune activation also resulted in increased exhaustion of immune effector cells. In particular, NKG2A up-regulation on activated effector cells and of its ligand Qa-1b on tumors in vivo was identified as a possible immune evasive mechanism. Indeed, NKG2A blockade synergized with CBL0137 significantly inhibiting the in vivo growth of 4T1.2 tumors. Collectively, our findings provide the rationale supporting the exploitation of CBL0137-induced anti-tumor immunity in combination with NKG2A blockade to improve the treatment of TNBC expressing high levels of MYC.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142872600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the specific molecular mechanism(s) driving this process remain unknown. We have previously reported that the transcription factor TBX2 is over-expressed in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). In this study, using human PCa and CRPC cell line models, we demonstrate that TBX2 downregulates AR and upregulates GR through direct transcriptional regulation. TBX2 also activated the GR via TBX2-GR protein-protein interactions. Together, TBX2-driven repression of AR and activation of GR resulted in enzalutamide resistance. Our laboratory findings are supported by clinical samples, which show a similar and consistent pattern of transcriptional activity among TBX2, AR and GR across patient cohorts. Notably, we report that SP2509, an allosteric inhibitor of the demethylase-independent function of LSD1 (a TBX2-interacting protein in the COREST complex) disrupts both TBX2-LSD1 and TBX2-GR protein-protein interactions, revealing a unique mode of SP2509 action in CRPC.

Despite this, the mechanism by which BCSCs withstand genotoxic stress is largely unknown. Here, we uncover a pivotal role for the arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 in mediating BCSC chemoresistance by modulating DNA repair efficiency. Mechanistically, we identify PRMT5 as a major regulator of DNA damage response (DDR) gene splicing in BCSCs, particularly those integral to the Fanconi Anaemia and homologous recombination pathways, with PRMT5 inhibition synergising with chemotherapy to promote BCSC apoptosis. A comparison of BCSCs and their bulk cell progeny identified some shared (ATM, DDX11, EXO1, FAN1, SLX4) but many unique (ATR, RAD17, RAD51D, RUVBL1) PRMT5-dependent alternative DDR splicing events. Surprisingly, these skipped exons and retained intron events rarely lead to substantial gene expression repression, suggesting that PRMT5 inhibition predominantly results in nuclear detention of intron-containing transcripts and the production of non-canonical isoforms with compromised protein function. Since many genes within the same DDR pathway undergo deregulated splicing, this study thus reveals additional points of vulnerability and alternative combination drug strategies that could improve the therapeutic efficacy of PRMT5 inhibitors to promote BCSC eradication.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142854721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, not all HME cases can be explained by these mutations, and its pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood. Herein, utilizing whole-exome sequencing and genetic screening with a family trio design, we identify two novel rare mutations co-segregating with HME in a Chinese family, including a nonsense mutation (c.204G>A, p.Trp68*) in EXT1 and a missense mutation (c.893T>G, p.Phe298Cys) in FUT7. Functional assays reveal that the FUT7 mutation affects the cellular localization of FUT7 protein and regulates cell proliferation. Notably, the simultaneous loss of fut7 and ext1 in a zebrafish model results in severe chondrodysplasia, indicating a functional link between FUT7 and EXT1 in chondrocyte regulation. Additionally, we unveil that FUT7 p.Phe298Cys reduces EXT1 expression through IL6/STAT3/SLUG axis at the transcription level and through ubiquitination-related proteasomal degradation at the protein level. Together, our findings not only identify novel germline mutations in FUT7 and EXT1 genes, but also highlight the critical interaction between these genes, suggesting a potential 'second-hit' mechanism over EXT1 mutations in HME pathogenesis. This insight enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying HME and opens new avenues for potential therapeutic interventions.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142847081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer (CRPC-NE) harbored highly dysfunctional oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) Complexes. However, biochemical and protein analyses of CRPC-NE tumors showed upregulation of nuclear-encoded OXPHOS proteins and UPRmt in this lethal subset of prostate cancer suggestive of compensatory upregulation of stress signaling. Genetic deletion and pharmacological inhibition of the main chaperone of UPRmt heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) reduced neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) growth in vivo as well as reverted NEPC cells to a more epithelial-like state. HSP60-dependent aggressive NEPC phenotypes was associated with upregulation of β-catenin signaling both in cancer cells and in vivo tumors. HSP60 expression rendered enrichment of aggressive prostate cancer signatures and metastatic potential were inhibited upon suppression of UPRmt. We discovered that UPRmt promoted OXPHOS functions including mitochondrial bioenergetics in CRPC-NE via regulation of β-catenin signaling.

Currently, it is unknown which tumor-associated variants can be considered driver mutations and through which mechanisms they contribute to cancer. Here we show that all truncating mutations analyzed at endogenous levels exhibit loss-of-function, with longer variants retaining partial activity. Regarding missense mutations, we show that 27/82 ZNRF3 variants in the RING and R-Spondin domain structures, lead to (partial) loss-of-function/hyperactivation. Mechanistically, defective R-Spondin domain variants appear to undergo endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation due to protein misfolding, leading to reduced protein levels. They fail to reach the membrane correctly, which can be partially restored for several variants by culturing cells at 27 °C. Although RING and R-Spondin domain mutations in RNF43/ZNRF3 are often considered to possess dominant-negative oncogene-like activity in cancers, our findings challenge this notion. When representative variants are heterozygously introduced into endogenous ZNRF3, their impact on β-catenin signaling mirrors that of heterozygous knockout, suggesting that the supposed dominant-negative effect is non-existent. In other words, so-called \"hyperactivating\" ZNRF3/RNF43 mutations behave as classical loss-of-function mutations at endogenous levels.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142824116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current treatments are insufficient in improving the prognosis of lung cancer patients with comorbid idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF-LC). Senescent fibroblasts, as stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment, influence tumor progression via exosomes. With evidence that fibroblast senescence is an important mechanism of IPF, we investigated the impact of senescent IPF lung fibroblast (diseased human lung fibroblasts, DHLF)-derived exosomes on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We found DHLF expressed significant senescence markers, and promoted NSCLC proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Specifically, senescent DHLF showed strong secretion of exosomes, and these exosomes enhanced the proliferation and colony-forming ability of cancer cells. Proteomic analysis showed DHLF-derived exosomes exhibited upregulated senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, notably MMP1, which activates the surface receptor PAR1. Knocking down MMP1 or using PAR1 inhibitors reduced the tumor-promoting effects of DHLF-derived exosomes in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, MMP1 acted by activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. In conclusion, our results suggest that exosomal MMP1 derived from senescent IPF fibroblasts promotes NSCLC proliferation and colony formation by targeting PAR1 and activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway.
