Abstract
The CBL (Casitas B-lineage lymphoma) family, as a class of ubiquitin ligases, can regulate signal transduction and activate receptor tyrosine kinases through various tyrosine kinase-dependent pathways. There are three members of the family: c-CBL, CBL-b, and CBL-c. Numerous studies have demonstrated the important role of CBL in various cellular pathways, particularly those involved in the occurrence and progression of cancer, hematopoietic development, and regulation of T cell receptors. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to comprehensively summarize the function and regulatory role of CBL family proteins in different human tumors, as well as the progress of drug research targeting CBL family, so as to provide a broader clinical measurement strategy for the treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) represents ∼85% of all lung cancers and ∼15-20% of them are characterized by mutations affecting the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). For several years now, a class of tyrosine kinase inhibitors was developed, targeting sensitive mutations affecting the EGFR (EGFR-TKIs). To date, the main burden of the TKIs employment is due to the onset of resistance mutations. This scoping review aims to resume the current situation about the cell line models employed for the in vitro evaluation of resistance mechanisms induced by EGFR-TKIs in oncogene-addicted NSCLC. Adenocarcinoma results the most studied NSCLC histotype with the H1650, H1975, HCC827 and PC9 mutated cell lines, while Gefitinib and Osimertinib the most investigated inhibitors. Overall, data collected frame the current advancement of this topic, showing a plethora of approaches pursued to overcome the TKIs resistance, from RNA-mediated strategies to the innovative combination therapies.

Abstract
Despite significant progress in clinical management, drug resistance remains a major obstacle. Recent research based on protein degradation to restrain drug resistance has attracted wide attention, and several therapeutic strategies such as inhibition of proteasome with bortezomib and proteolysis-targeting chimeric have been developed. Compared with intervention at the transcriptional level, targeting the degradation process seems to be a more rapid and direct strategy. Proteasomal proteolysis and lysosomal proteolysis are the most critical quality control systems responsible for the degradation of proteins or organelles. Although proteasomal and lysosomal inhibitors (e.g., bortezomib and chloroquine) have achieved certain improvements in some clinical application scenarios, their routine application in practice is still a long way off, which is due to the lack of precise targeting capabilities and inevitable side effects. In-depth studies on the regulatory mechanism of critical protein degradation regulators, including E3 ubiquitin ligases, deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs), and chaperones, are expected to provide precise clues for developing targeting strategies and reducing side effects. Here, we discuss the underlying mechanisms of protein degradation in regulating drug efflux, drug metabolism, DNA repair, drug target alteration, downstream bypass signaling, sustaining of stemness, and tumor microenvironment remodeling to delineate the functional roles of protein degradation in drug resistance. We also highlight specific E3 ligases, DUBs, and chaperones, discussing possible strategies modulating protein degradation to target cancer drug resistance. A systematic summary of the molecular basis by which protein degradation regulates tumor drug resistance will help facilitate the development of appropriate clinical strategies.

Abstract
As a self-degradative mechanism, macroautophagy/autophagy has a role in the maintenance of energy homeostasis during critical periods in the development of cells. It also controls cellular damage through the eradication of damaged proteins and organelles. This process is accomplished by tens of ATG (autophagy-related) proteins. Recent studies have shown the involvement of non-coding RNAs in the regulation of autophagy. These transcripts mostly modulate the expression of ATG genes. Both long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to modulate the autophagy mechanism. Levels of several lncRNAs and miRNAs are altered in this process. In the present review, we discuss the role of lncRNAs and miRNAs in the regulation of autophagy in diverse contexts such as cancer, deep vein thrombosis, spinal cord injury, diabetes and its complications, acute myocardial infarction, osteoarthritis, pre-eclampsia and epilepsy.Abbreviations: AMI: acute myocardial infarction; ATG: autophagy-related; lncRNA: long non-coding RNA; miRNA: microRNA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) OGFRP1 is up-regulated in endometrial cancer and cervical carcinoma, and OGFRP1 suppression inhibits the malignant behavior of cancer cells. Here, we evaluated the expression pattern, biological function and potential mechanism of OGFRP1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS The expression of target genes in 25 pairs of clinically collected NSCLC and normal lung tissue samples was detected by qRT-PCR or western blot. We screened the siRNA (siOGFRP1) to down-regulate the expression of OGFRP1 in A549 and H1299 cells. The biological function of A549 and H1299 cells were examined by CCK8, wound healing and transwell assays. The molecular mechanism of OGFRP1 was further explored. RESULTS The expression of OGFRP1 in NSCLC tissues were higher than that in normal lung tissue. siOGFRP1 inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 and H1299 cells. In addition, the expression of EMT-related and apoptosis-related proteins was changed by siOGFRP1 transfection. OGFRP1 can directly interact with miR-4640-5p, and siOGFRP1 increased the level of miR-4640-5p. Moreover, miR-4640-5p could directly bind to the 3' UTR region of eIF5A mRNA. eIF5A was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues, and predicted a poor prognosis. In addition, the expression of miR-4640-5p and eIF5A in NSCLC tissues were negatively correlated, while the expression of OGFRP1 and eIF5A were positively correlated. Knockdown of OGFRP1 inhibited the expression of eIF5A, while transfection of miR-4640-5p inhibitor up-regulated the expression of eIF5A. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, we demonstrated that down-regulation of OGFRP1 inhibited the progression of NSCLC through miR-4640-5p/eIF5A axis.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting BCR-ABL1 have revolutionized therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), paving the way for clinical development in other diseases. Despite success, targeting leukemic stem cells and overcoming drug resistance remain challenges for curative cancer therapy. To identify drivers of kinase-independent TKI resistance in CML, we performed genome-wide expression analyses on TKI-resistant versus sensitive CML cell lines, revealing a nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) expression signature. Nucleocytoplasmic fractionation and luciferase reporter assays confirmed increased NF-κB activity in the nucleus of TKI-resistant versus sensitive CML cell lines and CD34+ patient samples. Two genes that were upregulated in TKI-resistant CML cells were proteasome 26S subunit, non-ATPases 1 (PSMD1) and 3 (PSMD3), both members of the 19S regulatory complex in the 26S proteasome. PSMD1 and PSMD3 were also identified as survival-critical genes in a published small hairpin RNA library screen of TKI resistance. We observed markedly higher levels of PSMD1 and PSMD3 mRNA in CML patients who had progressed to the blast phase compared with the chronic phase of the disease. Knockdown of PSMD1 or PSMD3 protein correlated with reduced survival and increased apoptosis in CML cells, but not in normal cord blood CD34+ progenitors. Luciferase reporter assays and immunoblot analyses demonstrated that PSMD1 and PSMD3 promote NF-κB protein expression in CML, and that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) further activates NF-κB in scenarios of TKI resistance. Our data identify NF-κB as a transcriptional driver in TKI resistance, and implicate PSMD1 and PSMD3 as plausible therapeutic targets worthy of future investigation in CML and possibly other malignancies.

Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates the pivotal role of long noncoding RNAs in a variety of
cancers, but there is limited focus on the link between long noncoding RNAs and
gestational choriocarcinoma. This study aimed to examine the role of long noncoding RNA
OGFRP1 in JEG-3 and JAR cells. Small interfering RNA was used to downregulate long
noncoding RNA OGFRP1 level. Cell proliferation was measured by cell counting kit-8 and
clone formation assays. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. Cell
invasion was examined by transwell assay. Protein expression was determined by Western
blot. A double-effect inhibitor (BEZ235) that inhibits AKT and mTOR phosphorylation was
used as a positive control. Knockdown of long noncoding RNA OGFRP1 significantly inhibited
the proliferation of JEG-3 and JAR cells. Knockdown of long noncoding RNA OGFRP1 induced
cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and apoptosis. On the other hand, knockdown of long
noncoding RNA OGFRP1 inhibited the invasion of JEG-3 and JAR cells. Finally, knockdown of
long noncoding RNA OGFRP1 resulted in the inactivation of AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In
addition, knockdown of long noncoding RNA OGFRP1 caused changes in the expression of
intracellular cell cycle–related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins, including
downregulation of CDK4, CDK6, Cyclin D1, Nusap1, and Bcl2 protein expression and
upregulation of Bax protein expression. In conclusion, we found that downregulation of
long noncoding RNA OGFRP1 inhibited cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and
invasion of JEG-3 and JAR cells and induced apoptosis through AKT/mTOR pathway. This study
extends the understanding of the function of long noncoding RNA OGFRP1 in tumorigenesis,
and these findings may be important for developing a potential therapeutic target for
gestational choriocarcinoma therapy.

Lymecycline reverses acquired EGFR-TKI resistance in non-small-cell lung cancer by targeting GRB2. Pharmacol Res 2020; 159:105007. [PMID: 32561477 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2020.105007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2019] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) were first-line treatments for NSCLC patients with EGFR-mutations. However, about 30 % of responders relapsed within six months because of acquired resistance. In this study, we used Connectivity Map (CMap) to discover a drug capable of reversing acquired EGFR-TKIs resistance. To investigate Lymecycline's ability to reverse acquired EGFR-TKIs resistance, two Icotinib resistant cell lines were constructed. Lymecycline's ability to suppress the proliferation of Icotinib resistant cells in vitro and in vivo was then evaluated. Molecular targets were predicted using network pharmacology and used to identify the molecular mechanism. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) is an EGFR-binding adaptor protein essential for EGFR phosphorylation and regulation of AKT/ERK/STAT3 signaling pathways. Lymecycline targeted GRB2 and inhibited the resistance of the cell cycle to EGFR-TKI, arresting disease progression and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Combined Lymecycline and Icotinib treatment produced a synergistic effect and induced apoptosis in HCC827R5 and PC9R10 cells. Cell proliferation in resistant cancer cells was significantly inhibited by the combined Lymecycline and Icotinib treatment in mouse models. Lymecycline inhibited the resistance of the cell cycle to EGFR-TKI and induced apoptosis in NSCLC by inhibiting EGFR phosphorylation and GRB2-mediated AKT/ERK/STAT3 signaling pathways. This provided strong support that Lymecycline when combined with EGFR targeting drugs, enhanced the efficacy of treatments for drug-resistant NSCLC.
