Research advancements on sumoylation in gastrointestinal cancers
SUMOylation is a critical post-translational modification that modulates protein activity, stability, and subcellular distribution through the covalent attachment of SUMO proteins (SUMO1-5) to specific targets. This process is mediated by a cascade of enzymes, including E1, E2, E3 ligases, and deSUMOylation enzymes, enabling precise control over diverse biological functions such as gene expression, cell cycle regulation, DNA damage repair, signaling cascades, and metabolic pathways.
Dysregulation of SUMOylation enzymes has been contributes to cancer initiation, and treatment resistance, by enhancing tumor cell motility, aggressiveness, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In gastrointestinal malignancies—including gastric, hepatic, colorectal, esophageal, gallbladder, and pancreatic cancers—SUMOylation drives tumor growth, metastasis, and invasiveness by reprogramming metabolic processes, signaling networks, and the surrounding tumor niche. Additionally, it contributes to resistance against chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Understanding the molecular basis of SUMOylation not only underscores its significance in oncogenesis but also provides a foundation for developing novel anticancer therapies.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Aspects of Medicine is a review journal that serves as an official publication of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. It caters to physicians and biomedical scientists and aims to bridge the gap between these two fields. The journal encourages practicing clinical scientists to contribute by providing extended reviews on the molecular aspects of a specific medical field. These articles are written in a way that appeals to both doctors who may struggle with basic science and basic scientists who may have limited awareness of clinical practice issues. The journal covers a wide range of medical topics to showcase the molecular insights gained from basic science and highlight the challenging problems that medicine presents to the scientific community.
