Co-Expression of Adaptor Protein FAM159B with Different Markers for Neuroendocrine Cells: An Immunocytochemical and Immunohistochemical Study. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232113503. [DOI: 10.3390/ijms232113503] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Little is known about the adaptor protein FAM159B. Recently, FAM159B was shown to be particularly expressed in neuroendocrine cells and tissues, such as pancreatic islets and neuroendocrine cells of the bronchopulmonary and gastrointestinal tracts, as well as in different types of neuroendocrine tumours. To gain insights into possible interactions of FAM159B with other proteins and/or receptors, we analysed the co-expression of FAM159B and various neuroendocrine-specific markers in the cancer cell lines BON-1, PC-3, NCI-h82, OH-1, and A431 and also in human pancreatic tissues and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours. The markers included prominent markers of neuroendocrine differentiation, such as chromogranin A (CgA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), synaptophysin (SYP), insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1), neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1), serotonin (5-HT), somatostatin-14/28 (SST), and several receptors that are typically expressed by neuroendocrine cells, such as dopamine receptor 2 (D2R), somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and regulator of G-protein signalling 9 (RGS9). FAM159B was expressed evenly throughout the cytosol in all five cancer cell lines. Immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical analyses revealed co-expression of FAM159B with SYP, INSM1, RGS9, D2R, SSTR2, SSTR3, SSTR4, and SSTR5 and strong overlapping co-localisation with NSE. Double-labelling and co-immunoprecipitation Western blot analyses confirmed a direct association between FAM159B and NSE. These results suggest the involvement of FAM159B in several intracellular signalling pathways and a direct or indirect influence on diverse membrane proteins and receptors.

Integrative, In Silico and Comparative Analysis of Breast Cancer Secretome Highlights Invasive-Ductal-Carcinoma-Grade Progression Biomarkers. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14163854. [PMID: 36010848 PMCID: PMC9406168 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14163854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Globally, BC is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. The aim of this study was to identify novel secreted biomarkers that may indicate progression to high-grade BC malignancies and therefore predict metastatic potential. A total of 33 studies of breast cancer and 78 of other malignancies were screened via a systematic review for eligibility, yielding 26 datasets, 8 breast cancer secretome datasets, and 18 of other cancers that were included in the comparative secretome analysis. Sequential bioinformatic analysis using online resources enabled the identification of enriched GO_terms, overlapping clusters, and pathway reconstruction. This study identified putative predictors of IDC grade progression and their association with breast cancer patient mortality outcomes, namely, HSPG2, ACTG1, and LAMA5 as biomarkers of in silico pathway prediction, offering a putative approach by which the abovementioned proteins may mediate their effects, enabling disease progression. This study also identified ITGB1, FBN1, and THBS1 as putative pan-cancer detection biomarkers. The present study highlights novel, putative secretome biomarkers that may provide insight into the tumor biology and could inform clinical decision making in the context of IDC management in a non-invasive manner.

Characterization of Novel Progression Factors in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Based on Global Comparative Proteome Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13143432. [PMID: 34298646 PMCID: PMC8304965 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13143432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2021] [Revised: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Here, we investigated prostate cancer (PCa) tissues at each stage of progression, from benign prostatic hyperplasia to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), based on quantitative proteomic technology, including tissues after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). In total, we identified 4768 proteins, and 4069 of them were quantified. We performed a systematic bioinformatics analysis of 865 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the combined PCa tissues. We found 15 DEPs, including FOXA1 and HMGN1–3, as novel factors were significantly involved in the progression to CRPC after ADT in T3G3. All targets were verified to have increased levels of FOXA1 and HMGN1–3 in CRPC by immunoblotting and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The FOXA1 and HMGN1–3 proteins could be used as CRPC-related factors in clinical therapeutic agents. Abstract Identifying the biological change from hormone-naïve prostate cancer to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a major clinical challenge for developing therapeutic agents. Although the pathways that lead to CRPC are not fully completely understood, recent evidence demonstrates that androgen signaling is often maintained through varied mechanisms. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used as a primary treatment for preventing the progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Here we investigated PCa tissues at each stage of progression, from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) to CRPC, based on quantitative proteomic technology, including tissues after ADT. In total, 4768 proteins were identified in this study, of which 4069 were quantified in the combined PCa tissues. Among the quantified proteins, 865 were differentially expressed proteins (21.2%). Based on the quantitative protein results, we performed systematic bioinformatics analysis and found that the levels of 15 proteins, including FOXA1 and HMGN1–3, increased among T3G3, T3GX, and CRPC, despite the ADT. Among all targets, we verified the increased levels of FOXA1 and HMGN1–3 in CRPC by immunoblotting and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In summary, we discuss the changes in intracellular factors involved in the progression of CRPC PCa despite ADT. Moreover, we suggest that FOXA1 and HMGN1–3 proteins could be used as potential CRPC-related factors in clinical therapeutic agents.

KLK4 Induces Anti-Tumor Effects in Human Xenograft Mouse Models of Orthotopic and Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12123501.

Abstract
Simple Summary The serine protease kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4) has been reported to potentially play a role in the progression of prostate cancer and other cancer types. However, most of these reports have been limited to in vitro studies. In vivo cancer models offer greater complexity to mimic the characteristics of cancer growth and metastasis in humans. In this study, we used in vivo models of prostate cancer and demonstrated that KLK4 can strongly inhibit the growth of primary prostate tumors as well as bone metastases. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an anti-tumor effect of KLK4 in prostate cancer in vivo. Abstract Recent reports have suggested the role of kallikrein-related peptidase 4 (KLK4) to be that of remodeling the tumor microenvironment in many cancers, including prostate cancer. Notably, these studies have suggested a pro-tumorigenic role for KLK4, especially in prostate cancer. However, these have been primarily in vitro studies, with limited in vivo studies performed to date. Herein, we employed an orthotopic inoculation xenograft model to mimic the growth of primary tumors, and an intracardiac injection to induce metastatic dissemination to determine the in vivo tumorigenic effects of KLK4 overexpressed in PC3 prostate cancer cells. Notably, we found that these KLK4-expressing cells gave rise to smaller localized tumors and decreased metastases than the parent PC-3 cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an anti-tumorigenic effect of KLK4, particularly in prostate cancer. These findings also provide a cautionary tale of the need for in vivo analyses to substantiate in vitro experimental data.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men worldwide. Most PCa cases are not fatal; however, the outlook is poor when PCa spreads to another organ. Bone is the target organ in about 80% of patients who experience metastasis from a primary PCa tumor. In the present study, we characterized the secretome of PC3/nKR cells, which are a new subline of PC3 cells that were originally isolated from nude mice that were implanted with PC3 cells without anti-natural killer (NK) cell treatment. Wound healing and Transwell assays revealed that PC3/nKR cells had increased migratory and invasive activities in addition to a higher resistance to NK cells-induced cytotoxicity as compared to PC3 cells. We quantitatively profiled the secreted proteins of PC3/nKR and PC3 cells by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis coupled with 2-plex tandem mass tag labeling. In total, 598 secretory proteins were identified, and 561 proteins were quantified, among which 45 proteins were secreted more and 40 proteins were secreted less by PC3/nKR cells than by PC3 cells. For validation, the adapter molecule crk, serpin B3, and cystatin-M were analyzed by western blotting. PC3/nKR cells showed the selective secretion of NKG2D ligand 2, HLA-A, and IL-6, which may contribute to their NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity resistance, and had a high secretion of crk protein, which may contribute to their high migration and invasion properties. Based on our secretome analysis, we propose that PC3/nKR cells represent a new cell system for studying the metastasis and progression of PCa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secreted proteins play an important role in promoting cancer (PCa) cell migration and invasion. Proteogenomics helps elucidate the mechanism of diseases, discover therapeutic targets, and generate biomarkers for diagnosis through protein variations. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out mass a spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of the conditioned media (CM) from two human prostate cancer cell lines, belonging to different metastatic sites, to identify potential metastatic and/or aggressive factors. RESULTS We identified a total of 598 proteins, among which 561 were quantified based on proteomic analysis. Among the quantified proteins, 128 were up-regulated and 83 were down-regulated in DU145/PC3 cells. Six mutant peptides were identified in the CM of prostate cancer cell lines using proteogenomics approach. CONCLUSION This is the first proteogenomics study in PCa aiming at exploring a new type of metastatic factor, which are mutant peptides, predicting a novel biomarker of metastatic PCa for diagnosis, prognosis and drug targeting.
