Mechanistically, circMCM3 recruits the deubiquitinase USP49 to stabilize PTBP1, which binds to and stabilizes CCND1 mRNA, thereby facilitating cell cycle transition and reducing DNA damage. Notably, knockdown of PTBP1 or CCND1 abrogates circMCM3-mediated cisplatin resistance, supporting the existence of a functional circMCM3-USP49-PTBP1-CCND1 axis.

Here, we report that PDAC patients exhibit decreased plasma levels of propionyl-CoA intermediates, alongside accelerated propionyl-CoA catabolic activity within both human PDAC tumors and Pdx1-Cre/KrasG12D/+/Trp53R172H/+ (KPC) mouse tumors. Specifically, PDAC cells upregulate propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) to accelerate propionyl-CoA catabolism, thereby establishing a metabolic signature distinct from that of healthy tissues. Mechanistically, PCC is essential for PDAC growth, not by fueling the TCA cycle, but by preventing toxic propionyl-CoA accumulation. We further demonstrate that elevated propionyl-CoA leads to the propionylation-induced inactivation of the mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) enzyme ACAA2 at Lysine 137, thereby blocking the FAO flux required for tumor proliferation. Moreover, high PCCA expression in patient PDAC tumors is significantly associated with decreased lipid accumulation, and PDAC cells with high PCC levels are more sensitive to etomoxir-induced cell proliferation arrest. These findings establish the PCC-ACAA2 axis as a critical metabolic vulnerability and a promising target for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in PDAC.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":"45 43","pages":"4597-4612"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148945380","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}

In this study, we identified for the first time that circRHBDD1(4,5) (hsa_circ_0058493, a 656-nt circRNA generated by back-splicing of exons 4 and 5 of the RHBDD1 gene) is markedly upregulated in OSCC and promotes tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.

This interaction enhances DKK1 mRNA stability, leading to increased DKK1 expression and subsequent activation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, thereby driving the malignant progression in OSCC.

Here, by integrating transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiling with comprehensive in vitro and in vivo analyses, we identify La/SSB as a putative regulator associated with HNSCC progression and cisplatin (CDDP) resistance. La/SSB was markedly upregulated in HNSCC tissues and cell lines, and elevated expression was associated with unfavorable survival. Genetic depletion of La/SSB suppressed proliferation, migration, and invasion, promoted apoptosis, and reduced tumor growth and metastatic colonization, whereas ectopic expression exerted the opposite effects. Multi-omics analyses implicated FSCN1 as a functionally relevant downstream candidate associated with La/SSB-dependent phenotypes. Mechanistically, La/SSB depletion was associated with reduced H3K27ac enrichment and diminished TFAP2C occupancy at the FSCN1 promoter, supporting a TFAP2C/FSCN1-linked regulatory framework. Importantly, loss of La/SSB significantly enhanced CDDP responsiveness in the PDO model established in this study and in vivo conditional knockout models. Clinically, elevated La/SSB showed independent prognostic value, whereas TFAP2C and FSCN1 supported a biologically associated regulatory framework linked to aggressive disease features.

We examined the relationship between SHANK2 expression and genetic alterations across multiple ESCC datasets. The effects of SHANK2 on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were evaluated using cell-based assays. Potential SHANK2-interacting proteins were identified via co-immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry and further validated using immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Additionally, we investigated the in vivo role of SHANK2 in ESCC progression using tumor xenograft mouse models. Our findings demonstrated that SHANK2 expression was significantly elevated in ESCC tissues, with high levels correlating with poor patient prognosis. Genetic amplification of SHANK2 was frequently observed in ESCC samples. SHANK2 promoted the proliferation, motility, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of ESCC cells. Mechanistically, SHANK2 may activate the YAP signaling through competitive binding with DVL2, thereby facilitating malignant progression. In vivo studies indicated that targeting YAP signaling can mitigate SHANK2-induced ESCC growth. Taken together, SHANK2 is upregulated in ESCC and activates YAP signaling by interacting with DVL2, contributing to tumor progression. The SHANK2/DVL/YAP axis presents a potential therapeutic target for ESCC.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":"45 42","pages":"4512-4521"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148865236","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}
