Abstract
Considering the high fatality of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), current prognostic systems are insufficient to accurately forecast HCC patients' outcomes. In our study, nine anoikis‑related genes (PTRH2, ITGAV, ANXA5, BIRC5, BDNF, BSG, DAP3, SKP2, and EGF) were determined to establish a risk scoring model using LASSO regression, which could be validated in ICGC dataset. Kaplan-Meier curves and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed the risk score possessed an accurate predictive value for the prognosis of HCC patients. The high-risk group showed a higher infiltration of aDCs, macrophages, T-follicular helper cells, and Th2 cells. Besides, PD-L1 was significantly higher in the high-risk group compared to the low-risk group. Several anoikis‑related genes, such as ANX5, ITGAV, BDNF and SKP2, were associated with drug sensitivity in HCC. Finally, we identified BIRC5 and SKP2 as hub genes among the nine model genes using WGCNA analysis. BIRC5 and SKP2 were over-expressed in HCC tissues, and their over-expression was associated with poor prognosis, no matter in our cohort by immunohistochemical staining or in the TCGA cohort by mRNA-Seq. In our cohort, BIRC5 expression was highly associated with the T stage, pathologic stage, histologic grade and AFP of HCC patients. In general, our anoikis-related risk model can enhance the ability to predict the survival outcomes of HCC patients and provide a feasible therapeutic strategy for immunotherapy and drug resistance in HCC. BIRC5 and SKP2 are hub genes of anoikis‑related genes in HCC.

Ubiquitin-specific protease TRE17/USP6 promotes tumor cell invasion through the regulation of glycoprotein CD147 intracellular trafficking. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102335. [PMID: 35926707 PMCID: PMC9440431 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Disordered expression and distribution of plasma membrane proteins at the cell surface leads to diverse malignant phenotypes in tumors, including cell invasion. The ubiquitin-specific protease TRE17/USP6, an oncogene identified in Ewing sarcoma, is highly expressed in several cancers and locally aggressive tumor-like lesions. We have previously demonstrated that TRE17 regulates the trafficking of plasma membrane proteins that enter cells via clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE); TRE17 prevents CIE cargo proteins from being targeted to lysosomes for degradation by deubiquitylating them. However, functional insights into the effects of TRE17-mediated CIE cargo trafficking on cell invasion remain unknown. Here, we show that increased expression of TRE17 enhances invasiveness of the human sarcoma cell line HT-1080 by elevating the cell surface levels of the membrane glycoprotein CD147, which plays a central role in tumor progression. We demonstrate overexpression of TRE17 decreases ubiquitylated CD147, which is accompanied by suppression of CD147 transport to lysosomes, resulting in the stabilization and increase of cell surface-localized CD147. On the other hand, we show knockdown of TRE17 decreases cell surface CD147, which is coupled with reduced production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), the enzymes responsible for extracellular matrix degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that inhibition of CD147 by a specific inhibitor alleviated the TRE17-promoted tumor cell invasion. We therefore propose a model for the pathogenesis of TRE17-driven tumors in which TRE17 increases CD147 at the cell surface by preventing its lysosomal degradation, which in turn enhances MMP synthesis and matrix degradation, thereby promoting tumor cell invasion.

Discovery and Biological Evaluation of CD147 N-Glycan Inhibitors: A New Direction in the Treatment of Tumor Metastasis. Molecules 2020; 26:molecules26010033.

Abstract
N-glycosylation is instrumental to the regulation of CD147 functions, including the maturation of CD147, secretion of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and promotion of tumor metastasis. Glycosylated CD147 is highly expressed in various cancer types, participates in metastasis, and is associated with the poor prognosis of malignant tumors. However, to date, there has been little development of target-specific inhibitors for CD147 glycosylation. In this work, we report a strategy for discovering CD147 glycosylation inhibitors through computer-aided screening and inhibition assays. Four compounds were screened as potential CD147 glycosylation inhibitors. Of these, compound 72 was finally identified as the best candidate. Further experiments confirmed that compound 72 inhibited the production of MMPs and the metastasis of cancer cells in the Hela cell line. Results further suggest that compound 72 could promote the expression of E-cadherin by targeting CD147, thereby inhibiting tumor migration. Finally, the structures of the other potential CD147 N-glycosylation inhibitors may eventually provide guidance for future optimization.

Abstract
Background Thyroid cancer (TC) is the most common endocrine malignancy; basigin (also known as BSG) plays a crucial role in tumor cell invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. This study was designed to identify the change of BSG expression in TC and its possible potential mechanism. Methods The BSG expression levels in TC were demonstrated using data collected from in-house immunohistochemical (IHC), RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), microarrays, and literatures. Integrated analysis was performed to determined BSG expression levels in TC comprehensively. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed with the integration of BSG co-expressed genes and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in TC tissues to explore the potential mechanisms of BSG in TC. Results The protein expression level of BSG was significantly higher in TC cases based on the IHC experiments. In addition, the combined SMD for BSG expression was 0.39 (p < 0.0001), the diagnostic odds ratio was 3.69, and the AUC of the sROC curve was 0.6986 using 1182 TC cases and 437 non-cancerous cases from 17 independent datasets. Furthermore, BSG co-expressed genes tended to be enriched in gene terms of the extracellular matrix (ECM), cell adhesion, and cell-cell interactions. The expression levels of nine hub BSG co-expressed genes were markedly upregulated in TC cases. Conclusion BSG expression levels were closely correlated with the progression of TC and may affect the signals of the ECM, cell adhesion, and cell-cell interactions.

Abstract
Objective We investigated the protective effect of icariin on myocardial infarction-induced cardiac remodeling. Methods A cardiac remodeling model was constructed by ligating rats’ coronary artery. Different icariin and CD147 concentrations were administered in the model group, and echocardiography was used to detect systolic function, screening out ideal experimental concentrations. The ventricular systolic function, myocardial apoptosis rate, and expression of collagen type I (Col I), Col III, CD147, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) were detected by hematoxylin–eosin staining, TUNEL assay, and western blot. MMP-9 activity was evaluated by gelatin zymography. Results The expression of Col I, Col III, CD147, and MMP-9 was higher, the expression of TIMP-1 was lower, and the maximal rates of left ventricular pressure rise and fall (+dp/dtmax and −dp/dtmax, respectively) were lower in model than control rats. The expression of CD147, MMP-9, Col I, and Col III was lower, the expression of TIMP-1 was higher, and the +dp/dtmax and −dp/dtmax were higher in the icariin than model group. The apoptosis rate was lower in the icariin and icariin + CD147 groups than control group. Conclusion Icariin attenuated myocardial apoptosis following myocardial infarction by apoptosis rate reduction and CD147/MMP-9 pathway inhibition.

Abstract
Tumor invasion and metastasis are the critical steps in determining the aggressive phenotype of human cancers. Melittin, a major component of bee venom, has been reported to induce apoptosis in several cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of melittin involvement in cancer invasion and metastasis remain unclear. Our previous study indicated that melittin inhibits cyclophilin A (CypA), a ubiquitously distributed peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase, in macrophage cells. In the present study, the Transwell assay results showed that melittin may downregulate the invasion level of MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, it was also found, using flow cytometry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, that melittin decreased the expression of cluster of differentiation (CD)147 and matrix metallopeptidase-9 (MMP-9), whereas CypA upregulated the expression of CD147 and MMP-9. Overall, the present study indicated that melittin decreased the invasion level of MCF-7 cells by downregulating CD147 and MMP-9 by inhibiting CypA expression. The results of the present study provide an evidence for melittin in anticancer therapy and mechanisms.

Abstract
Gliomas are characterized by their invasiveness, angiogenesis, glycolysis and poor prognosis. Determining how to inhibit angiogenesis and glycolysis and induce cell death in gliomas is essential to the development of an effective therapy. CD147, a highly glycosylated transmembrane glycoprotein with two Ig-like extracellular domains that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, plays an important role in the regulation of tumor invasiveness, angiogenesis and glycolysis by inducing the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases and vascular endothelial growth factor and by interacting with monocarboxylate transporters. In this review, we first summarize the roles played by CD147 in gliomas and then propose that CD147 may be a complementary prognostic biomarker and a possible therapeutic target for glioma treatment.

Abstract
The highly glycosylated transmembrane protein extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) is associated with several pathological conditions, including various types of cancers. In different gynecological malignancies, such as ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers, EMMPRIN plays significant roles in cell adhesion modulation, tumor growth, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis by inducing the production of various molecules, including matrix metalloproteinases and vascular endothelial growth factor. Because of its high level of expression, EMMPRIN can possibly be used as a diagnostic marker of gynecological cancers. Recent studies have showed that targeting EMMPRIN, especially by RNA interference (RNAi) technology, has promising therapeutic potential in basic research on gynecological cancer treatments, which make a platform for the future clinical success. This review study focused on the association of EMMPRIN in gynecological cancers in the perspectives of pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutics.

Abstract
Gastric cancer cell are not particularly sensitive to Ara-C, a deoxycytidine analog that affects DNA synthesis. In the present study, AGS and MKN-45 gastric cancer cell lines were treated with Ara-C to determine its role in cell prolife-ration and apoptosis. The antiproliferative effect of Ara-C was assessed using the Cell Counting kit-8. Gelatinase zymography was utilized to detect the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9, and an in vitro invasion assay was performed. Using RT-PCR, CD-147, MMP-2 and MPP-9 mRNA levels were assessed in AGS cells with various doses of Ara-C treatment. CD-147, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein levels were analysed in Ara-C‑treated AGS and MKN-45 cells. AGS cells were treated with or without U-0126 or siRNA-CD147 and/or Ara-C for 24 h, and an in vitro invasion assay was performed. Although low-dose Ara-C had no obvious effect on cell proliferation, it upregulated the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and CD-147 and ERK activation. Low-dose Ara-C increased gastric cancer cell invasion. U-0126 and siRNA-CD-147 inhibited the induction of Ara-C in gastric cancer cell invasion. Therefore, Ara-C enhances the invasiveness of gastric cancer cells by expression of CD-147 /MMP-2 and MMP-9 via the ERK signaling pathway. The results are therefore useful in the prevention of Ara-C collateral damage associated with standard, conventional protocols of chemotherapy administration.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a common cause of cancer‑associate mortality in females, and metastasis is strongly associated with failure of cervical cancer treatment. Previous studies have indicated that microRNA (miR)‑146b‑5p is involved in the inhibition of proliferation and metastasis of numerous human cancer types. The aim of the present study was to explore the inhibitory effect of miR‑156b‑5p on the proliferation and metastatic potential of Caski human cervical cancer cells, as well as to determine the mechanisms by which it proceeds. The results demonstrated that miR‑146b‑5p was able to inhibit the proliferative, invasive and adhesive potential and block the cell cycle progression of Caski human cervical cancer cells, as determined using MTS and transwell assays as well as flow cytometry. Furthermore, quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis revealed that transfection with miR‑146b‑5p decreased the mRNA and protein expression levels of C‑X‑C chemokine receptor type 4, matrix metalloproteinase‑2 and ‑9, c‑Myc, cyclin D1 and human papilloma virus 16. In addition, the secretion levels of transforming growth factor‑β, monocyte chemoattractant protein‑1 and tumor necrosis factor‑α, the telomerase activity, the phosphorylation of c‑Jun N‑terminal protein kinase and protein kinase B and the transcriptional activities of nuclear factor‑κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription‑3 and ‑5 were reduced. However, increased levels of p27 and p53 were detected in the miR‑146b‑5p‑overexpressing Caski cells. These results indicate that miR‑146b‑5p may be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cervical cancer through regulation of cell chemotaxis and the cell cycle.
