{"title":"Kindlin-2 regulates the oncogenic activities of integrins and TGF-β in triple-negative breast cancer progression and metastasis","authors":"Neelum Aziz Yousafzai, Lamyae El Khalki, Wei Wang, Justin Szpendyk, Khalid Sossey-Alaoui","doi":"10.1038/s41388-024-03166-2","DOIUrl":"10.1038/s41388-024-03166-2","url":null,"abstract":"Kindlin-2, an adapter protein, is dysregulated in various human cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), where it drives tumor progression and metastasis by influencing several cancer hallmarks. One well-established role of Kindlin-2 involves the regulation of integrin signaling, achieved by directly binding to the cytoplasmic tail of the integrin β subunit. In this study, we present novel insights into Kindlin-2’s involvement in stabilizing the β1-Integrin:TGF-β type 1 receptor (TβRI) complexes, acting as a physical bridge that links β1-Integrin to TβRI. Loss of Kindlin-2 results in the degradation of this protein complex, leading to the inhibition of downstream oncogenic pathways. We used a diverse range of in vitro assays, including CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, cell migration, 3D-tumorsphere formation and invasion, solid binding, co-immunoprecipitation, cell adhesion and spreading assays, as well as western blot and flow cytometry analyses, utilizing MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 TNBC cell lines. Additionally, preclinical in vivo mouse models of TNBC tumor progression and metastasis were employed to substantiate our findings. Our studies established the direct interaction between Kindlin-2 and β1-Integrin and between Kindlin-2 and TβRI. Disruption of these interactions, via CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of Kindlin-2, led to the degradation of β1-Integrin and TβRI, resulting in the inhibition of oncogenic pathways downstream of both proteins, subsequently hindering tumor growth and metastasis. Treatment of Kindlin-2-deficient cells with the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 restored the expression of both β1-Integrin and TβRI. Furthermore, the rescue of Kindlin-2 expression reinstated their oncogenic activities in vitro and in vivo, while Kindlin-2 lacking domains involved in the interaction of Kindlin-2 with β1-Integrin or TβRI did not. This study identifies a novel function of Kindlin-2 in stabilizing the β1-Integrin:TβRI complexes and regulating their downstream oncogenic signaling. The translational implications of these findings are substantial, potentially unveiling new therapeutically targeted pathways crucial for the treatment of TNBC tumors.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41388-024-03166-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142292688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SUV39H1, a member of the H3K9 methyltransferase family, contributing to tumorigenesis across multiple malignancies. However, its specific role in NB remains unexplored. In this study, we conducted a high-throughput screen utilizing a compound library containing 288 epigenetic drugs, leading to the identification of chaetocin as the most potent NB inhibitor by targeting SUV39H1. Genetic manipulation and therapeutic inhibition of SUV39H1 significantly impacted proliferation, migration, cell cycle phases, and apoptosis in NB cells. Concurrently, chaetocin demonstrated robust anti-tumor efficacy in vivo with tolerable toxicity. RNA-seq unveiled that SUV39H1 knockdown and inhibition down-regulated cell cycle pathways, impacting vital genes such as AURKA. Besides, MCPIP1 emerged as a novel tumor suppressor following SUV39H1 inhibition, which decreased AURKA expression in NB. In detail, SUV39H1 mediated the enrichment of H3K9me3 at the promoter region of MCPIP1, repressing the MCPIP1-mediated degradation of AURKA and facilitating the subsequent accumulation of AURKA, which revealed the oncogenic role of SUV39H1 via the SUV39H1-MCPIP1-AURKA signaling axis in NB. Therapeutic inhibition of SUV39H1 using chaetocin emerges as an effective and safe strategy for NB patients.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41388-024-03164-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study aimed to identify the role of nucleoporin 37 (NUP37) in lipid synthesis and HCC progression. The expression of NUP37 was significantly upregulated in HCC and associated with a poor prognosis. NUP37 silencing suppressed lipid synthesis, proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells in vitro, and restrained tumor growth in xenograft mouse models in vivo. Next, we found the high expression of NUP37 in HCC was related to post-translational modifications. Tripartite motif-containing 28 (TRIM28) was identified as an interacting protein of NUP37 and upregulated its protein level. The subsequent analysis revealed that TRIM28-mediated SUMOylation of NUP37 at Lys114/118/246 inhibited K27-linked polyubiquitination of NUP37, which is one reason for its high expression level in HCC. In conclusion, TRIM28 SUMOylates NUP37 to prevent its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, increasing the stability of the NUP37 protein, thereby promoting lipid synthesis and the progression of HCC.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142268620","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}

Here, we showed that DDX21 is a direct transcriptional target gene of β-catenin and mediates the protumorigenic function of β-catenin in CRC. DDX21 expression is correlated with the expression and activity of β-catenin, and high DDX21 expression is associated with a poor prognosis in CRC patients. Loss of DDX21 leads to cytoplasmic translocation and decreased transcriptional activity of YAP and suppresses the proliferation and migration of CRC cells, which can be partially rescued by YAP reactivation. Importantly, by using translation elongation inhibitors and DNA intercalators, we showed that ribosomal stress upregulates DDX21 expression and induces the downregulation of LATS and the activation of YAP, probably through the ZAKα-MKK4/7-JNK axis. Overall, our study revealed the transcriptional activation mechanism of DDX21 in CRC and the activation of YAP in the ribosomal stress response, indicating the potential of combination therapy involving the induction of ribosomal stress and YAP inhibition.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41388-024-03160-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parkin is a tumor suppressor and a key protein involved in mitophagy regulation. However, the tumor suppression mechanism of Parkin has still not been elucidated. In this study, we identified mitochondrial GAPDH as a new substrate of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin, which mediated GAPDH ubiquitination in human cervical cancer. The translocation of GAPDH into mitochondria was driven by the PINK1 kinase, and either PINK1 or GAPDH mutation prevented the accumulation of GAPDH in mitochondria. Parkin caused the ubiquitination of GAPDH at multiple sites (K186, K215, and K219) located within the enzyme-catalyzed binding domain of the GAPDH protein. GAPDH ubiquitination was required for mitophagy, and stimulation of mitophagy suppressed cervical cancer cell growth, indicating that mitophagy serves as a type of cell death. Mechanistically, PHB2 served as a key mediator in GAPDH ubiquitination-induced mitophagy through stabilizing PINK1 protein and GAPDH mutation resulted in the reduced distribution of PHB2 in mitophagic vacuole. In addition, ubiquitination of GAPDH decreased its phosphorylation level and enzyme activity and inhibited the glycolytic pathway in cervical cancer cells. The results of in vivo experiments also showed that the GAPDH mutation increased glycolysis in cervical cancer cells and accelerated tumorigenesis. Thus, we concluded that Parkin may exert its anticancer function by ubiquitinating GAPDH in mitochondria. Taken together, our study further clarified the molecular mechanism of tumor suppression by Parkin through the regulation of energy metabolism, which provides an experimental basis for the development of new drugs for the treatment of human cervical cancer.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41388-024-03157-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With 48,033 cells analyzed, we found heterogeneous tumor epithelium and microenvironment in these obese and lean BC patients. Interestingly, the obesity-associated epithelial cells exhibited specific expression signatures which linked tumor growth and hormone metabolism in BC. Notably, one population of obesity-specific macrophage up-regulated the nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group H member 3 (NR1H3), which acted a transcription factor and regulated FABP4 expression through its interaction with the DNA of SREBP1, and further increased the proliferation of tumor cells in BC.

Errors in the process result in chromosome missegregation, a significant consequence of which is the emergence of aneuploidy—characterized by an imbalance in chromosome number—and the associated phenomenon of chromosome instability (CIN). Aneuploidy and CIN are common features of cancer, which leverages them to promote genome heterogeneity and plasticity, thereby facilitating rapid tumor evolution. Recent research has provided insights into how mitotic errors shape cancer genomes by inducing both numerical and structural chromosomal changes that drive tumor initiation and progression. In this review, we survey recent findings regarding the mitotic causes and consequences of aneuploidy. We discuss new findings into the types of chromosome segregation errors that lead to aneuploidy and novel pathways that protect genome integrity during mitosis. Finally, we describe new developments in our understanding of the immediate consequences of chromosome mis-segregation on the genome stability of daughter cells.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41388-024-03163-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142268576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
