Here we show that under acute hypoxia, PCNA monoubiquitination, a key step in TLS, and expression of error-prone DNA polymerases increased under regulation of the HIF1α transcription factor. Knocking-down expression of DNA polymerase η, or using PCNA ubiquitination-resistant cells, inhibited genomic DNA replication specifically under hypoxia, and iPOND analysis revealed massive recruitment of TLS DNA polymerases to nascent DNA under hypoxia, uncovering a dramatic involvement of error-prone DNA polymerases in genomic replication. Of note, expression of TLS-polymerases correlates with VEGFA (primary HIF1α target) in a database of renal cell carcinoma, a cancer which accumulates HIF1α. Our results suggest that the tumor microenvironment can lead the cell to forgo, to some extent, the fast and accurate canonical DNA polymerases, for the more flexible and robust, but low-fidelity TLS DNA polymerases.

Despite its significant role in cancer biology, targeting MYC for therapeutic purposes has been challenging due to its highly disordered protein structure. Hence, recent research efforts have focused on identifying the transcriptional mechanisms underlying MYC function to identify alternative strategies for intervention. This review summarizes recent advances in our understanding of how MYC orchestrates context-dependent and -independent gene-regulatory activities in cancer. Based on recent insights into the gene-regulatory function of MYC at enhancers, we propose an extension of the gene-specific affinity model. In this revised model, MYC enhancer activity drives context-specific gene programs that are distinct from the ubiquitously activated set of core MYC target genes driven by MYC promoter binding.

PAX3-FOXO1 oncofusions drive the majority of the clinically more aggressive fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS). Recent studies have established an epigenetic basis for PAX3-FOXO1-driven oncogenic processes. However, details of PAX3-FOXO1 epigenetic mechanisms, including interactions with, and dependence on, other chromatin and transcription factors, are incompletely understood. We previously identified a novel disease-promoting epigenetic axis in RMS, involving the histone demethylase KDM3A and the ETS1 transcription factor, and demonstrated that this epigenetic axis interfaces with PAX3-FOXO1 both phenotypically and transcriptomically, including co-regulation of biological processes and genes important to FP-RMS progression. In this study, we demonstrate that KDM3A and ETS1 colocalize with PAX3-FOXO1 to enhancers of important disease-promoting genes in FP-RMS, including FGF8, IL4R, and MEST, as well as PODXL, which we define herein as a new FP-RMS-promoting gene. We show that ETS1, which is induced by both PAX3-FOXO1 and KDM3A, exists in complex with PAX3-FOXO1, and augments PAX3-FOXO1 chromatin occupancy. We further show that the PAX3-FOXO1/ETS1 complex can be disrupted by the clinically relevant small molecule inhibitor YK-4-279. YK-4-279 displaces PAX3-FOXO1 from chromatin and interferes with PAX3-FOXO1-dependent gene regulation, resulting in potent inhibition of growth and invasive properties in FP-RMS, along with downregulation of FGF8, IL4R, MEST and PODXL expression. We additionally show that, in some FP-RMS, KDM3A also increases PAX3-FOXO1 levels.

Here, and by using an unbiassed screen, we discovered that the DUB USP10 stabilizes β-Catenin specifically in APC-truncated CRC in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic studies, including in vitro binding together with computational modelling, revealed that USP10 binding to β-Catenin is mediated via the unstructured N-terminus of USP10 and is outcompeted by intact APC, favouring β-catenin degradation. However, in APC-truncated cancer cells USP10 binds to β-catenin, increasing its stability which is critical for maintaining an undifferentiated tumour identity. Elimination of USP10 reduces the expression of WNT and stem cell signatures and induces the expression of differentiation genes. Remarkably, silencing of USP10 in murine and patient-derived CRC organoids established that it is essential for NOTUM signalling and the APC super competitor-phenotype, reducing tumorigenic properties of APC-truncated CRC. These findings are clinically relevant as patient-derived organoids are highly dependent on USP10, and abundance of USP10 correlates with poorer prognosis of CRC patients. Our findings reveal, therefore, a role for USP10 in CRC cell identity, stemness, and tumorigenic growth by stabilising β-Catenin, leading to aberrant WNT signalling and degradation resistant tumours.

Functional analyses show that TMSB4Y inhibits the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of male ESCC cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that TMSB4Y interacts with PAICS, wherein TMSB4Y disrupts the formation of the PAICS octamer to inhibit purine de novo synthesis, leading to a decrease in the AMP/ATP ratio, subsequently impeding AMPK phosphorylation. Furthermore, we uncover a regulatory cascade orchestrated by the TMSB4Y/PAICS-AMPK axis, which exerts a suppressive effect on sphingomyelin metabolism by inhibiting the expression of sphingomyelin synthases (SMSs). Notably, Malabaricone C, an inhibitor of SMS1 and SMS2, effectively suppresses male ESCC cell proliferation and xenograft tumor growth.

Despite these advancements, the efficacy of this combined therapy remains suboptimal, necessitating a deeper understanding of the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Through comprehensive analyses, including mass spectrometry, RNA sequencing, lipidomic profiling, immunohistochemical staining, and ex vivo experiments, we explored the interaction between PTPRZ1 and RNF26 and its impact on ccRCC cell behavior. Our results revealed a unique interaction where PTPRZ1 stabilized RNF26 protein expression by dephosphorylating it at the Y432 site. The modulation of RNF26 levels by PTPRZ1 was found to be mediated through the proteasome pathway. Additionally, PTPRZ1, via its interaction with RNF26, activated the TNF/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby promoting cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and lipid metabolism in ccRCC cells. Importantly, inhibiting PTPRZ1 enhanced the sensitivity of ccRCC to TKIs and PD-1 blockade, an effect that was attenuated when RNF26 was simultaneously knocked down. These findings highlight the critical role of the PTPRZ1-RNF26 axis in ccRCC and suggest that combining PTPRZ1 inhibitors with current TKIs and PD-1 blockade therapies could significantly improve treatment outcomes for ccRCC patients.","PeriodicalId":19524,"journal":{"name":"Oncogene","volume":"43 50","pages":"3633-3644"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142505253","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}

While it is well established that KRAS mutations drive the activation of oncogenic kinase cascades during pancreatic oncogenesis, the effects of oncogenic KRAS signaling on regulation of phosphatases during this process is not fully appreciated. Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) has been implicated in suppressing KRAS-driven cellular transformation and low PP2A activity is observed in PDAC cells compared to non-transformed cells, suggesting that suppression of PP2A activity is an important step in the overall development of PDAC. In the current study, we demonstrate that KRASG12D induces the expression of an endogenous inhibitor of PP2A activity, Cancerous Inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A), and phosphorylation of the PP2A substrate, c-MYC. Consistent with these findings, KRASG12D sequestered the specific PP2A subunit responsible for c-MYC degradation, B56α, away from the active PP2A holoenzyme in a CIP2A-dependent manner. During PDAC initiation in vivo, knockout of B56α promoted KRASG12D tumorigenesis by accelerating acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) and the formation of PanIN lesions. The process of ADM was attenuated ex vivo in response to pharmacological re-activation of PP2A utilizing direct small molecule activators of PP2A (SMAPs).
