Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) is an aggressive disease whose mutagenic processes are yet to be elucidated. Targeted therapies are urgently needed, but the road from bench to bedside is slowly progressing. In this review, we discuss urothelial carcinoma etiology, along with the most recent advances in UC candidate targeted therapies. METHODOLOGY A comprehensive database search was performed. We aimed to review the most recent updates on UC genomics and targeted therapies. Pre-clinical as well as clinical studies were included. RESULTS Our review highlights the advances in understanding the molecular basis of urothelial tumorigenesis, including smoking, chemical parasitic carcinogens, inheritance, and APOBEC3 editing enzymes. We discussed how these factors contributed to the current mutational landscape of UC. Therapeutic options for UC are still very limited. However, several promising therapeutic approaches are in development to leverage our knowledge of molecular targets, such as targeting fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR), DNA damage repair pathways, and HER2. CONCLUSIONS Blindly testing targeted therapies based on other cancer data is not sufficient. UC-specific biomarkers are needed to precisely use the appropriate drug for the appropriate population. More efforts to understand UC biology and evolution are urgently needed.

Abstract
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B (hnRNPA/B) is one of the core members of the RNA binding protein (RBP) hnRNPs family, including four main subtypes, A0, A1, A2/B1 and A3, which share the similar structure and functions. With the advance in understanding the molecular biology of hnRNPA/B, it has been gradually revealed that hnRNPA/B plays a critical role in almost the entire steps of RNA life cycle and its aberrant expression and mutation have important effects on the occurrence and progression of various cancers. This review focuses on the clinical significance of hnRNPA/B in various cancers and systematically summarizes its biological function and molecular mechanisms.

ILF2 enhances the DNA cytosine deaminase activity of tumor mutator APOBEC3B in multiple myeloma cells. Sci Rep 2022; 12:2278. [PMID: 35145187 PMCID: PMC8831623 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-06226-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B (A3B) is an endogenous source of mutations in many human cancers, including multiple myeloma. A3B proteins form catalytically inactive high molecular mass (HMM) complexes in nuclei, however, the regulatory mechanisms of A3B deaminase activity in HMM complexes are still unclear. Here, we performed mass spectrometry analysis of A3B-interacting proteins from nuclear extracts of myeloma cell lines and identified 30 putative interacting proteins. These proteins are involved in RNA metabolism, including RNA binding, mRNA splicing, translation, and regulation of gene expression. Except for SAFB, these proteins interact with A3B in an RNA-dependent manner. Most of these interacting proteins are detected in A3B HMM complexes by density gradient sedimentation assays. We focused on two interacting proteins, ILF2 and SAFB. We found that overexpressed ILF2 enhanced the deaminase activity of A3B by 30%, while SAFB did not. Additionally, siRNA-mediated knockdown of ILF2 suppressed A3B deaminase activity by 30% in HEK293T cell lysates. Based on these findings, we conclude that ILF2 can interact with A3B and enhance its deaminase activity in HMM complexes.

Abstract
Objective The pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic pancreatitis (CP) still remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to characterize asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)-containing proteins in pancreatic tissues and its relationship with CP pathogenesis. Methods Totally 36 patients with CP were enrolled in this study. Seven other cholangiocarcinoma patients without pancreas involvements or patients with benign pancreatic tumors were included as the control group. Total proteins in human pancreatic tissues were digested by trypsin, and ADMA-containing peptides were enriched via immunoaffinity purification. The LC-MS/MS was performed to characterize ADMA-containing peptides and their modification sites in CP tissues. Relative asymmetric arginine dimethylation levels of HNRNPA3 proteins in human pancreatic tissues were detected by the immunoprecipitation combined with Western blot. The serum inflammatory factors were determined via the ELISA method. Results A total of 134 ADMA sites in the control group and 137 ADMA sites in CP tissues were characterized by mass spectrometry, which belong to 93 and 94 ADMA-containing proteins in the control group and CP tissues, respectively. Glycine and proline residues were significantly overrepresented in the flanking sequences of ADMA sites. ADMA-containing proteins in the CP tissues were associated with various biological processes, especially the RNA metabolism and splicing pathways. Multiple protein members of the spliceosome pathway such as HNRNPA3 possess ADMA sites in the CP tissues. HNRNPA3 dimethylation levels were greatly increased in CP tissues, which were positively correlated with inflammatory factors. Conclusion The pathogenesis of CP is associated with alterations of asymmetric arginine dimethylation in pancreatic tissues.

Abstract
The hnRNP A/B family of proteins is canonically central to cellular RNA metabolism, but due to their highly conserved nature, the functional differences between hnRNP A1, A2/B1, A0, and A3 are often overlooked. In this review, we explore and identify the shared and disparate homeostatic and disease-related functions of the hnRNP A/B family proteins, highlighting areas where the proteins have not been clearly differentiated. Herein, we provide a comprehensive assembly of the literature on these proteins. We find that there are critical gaps in our grasp of A/B proteins' alternative splice isoforms, structures, regulation, and tissue and cell-type-specific functions, and propose that future mechanistic research integrating multiple A/B proteins will significantly improve our understanding of how this essential protein family contributes to cell homeostasis and disease.

Abstract
Hepatocarcinogenesis is a multistep process involving progression from cirrhosis, to low-grade dysplastic nodule, to high-grade dysplastic nodule (HGDN) and, eventually, to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Early detection of HCC is challenging as the differential diagnosis between HGDN and early HCC (eHCC) is difficult. The aim of the present study was to identify a novel biomarker to specifically differentiate between HGDN and eHCC, which may facilitate early diagnosis of HCC. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine the expression of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A3 (HNRNPA3) in cirrhosis, dysplastic nodules (DNs), well-differentiated HCC and progressed HCC. The staining was evaluated by assigning a staining intensity score of 0–3 and a percentage of positively stained cells score of 0–4. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to assess the ability of HNRNPA3 expression to differentiate between DNs and HCC. HNRNPA3 expression increased in a stepwise trend in non-tumor hepatic tissue, DNs, eHCC and progressed HCC. ROC curves revealed that HNRNPA3 expression could be used to differentiate between HGDN and eHCC, particularly in combination with glypican 3 (GPC3), with a specificity of 100%. Moreover, HNRNPA3 expression was associated with HCC differentiation. In addition, high expression of HNRNPA3 was found to be associated with poor survival rates in patients with HCC. These findings demonstrated that HNRNPA3 combined with GPC3 is a helpful diagnostic biomarker in the differential diagnosis during the multistep process of hepatocarcinogenesis, particularly in the differential diagnosis between HGDN and eHCC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report the significance of HNRNPA3 in hepatocarcinogenesis and its potential role in carcinogenesis.

Profiling of subcellular EGFR interactome reveals hnRNP A3 modulates nuclear EGFR localization. Oncogenesis 2020; 9:40.

Abstract
The aberrant subcellular translocation and distribution of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) represent a major yet currently underappreciated cancer development mechanism in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we investigated the subcellular interactome of EGFR by using a spectral counting-based approach combined with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to understand the associated protein networks involved in the tumorigenesis of NSCLC. A total of 54, 77, and 63 EGFR-interacting proteins were identified specifically in the cytosolic, mitochondrial, and nuclear fractions from a NSCLC cell line, respectively. Pathway analyses of these proteins using the KEGG database shown that the EGFR-interacting proteins of the cytosol and nucleus are involved in the ribosome and spliceosome pathways, respectively, while those of the mitochondria are involved in metabolizing propanoate, fatty acid, valine, leucine, and isoleucine. A selected nuclear EGFR-interacting protein, hnRNP A3, was found to modulate the accumulation of nuclear EGFR. Downregulation of hnRNP A3 reduced the nuclear accumulation of EGFR, and this was accompanied by reduced tumor growth ability in vitro and in vivo. These results indicate that variations in the subcellular translocation and distribution of EGFR within NSCLC cells could affect tumor progression.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a partially double-stranded DNA virus that replicates by reverse transcription. We previously demonstrated that the host restriction factor-APOBEC3B (A3B) inhibited HBV replication which was dependent on its deaminase activity during reverse transcription. However, the host factors involved in the process of regulating the anti-HBV function of A3B are less known. In this research, to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the interaction networks of A3B, we conducted coimmunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry to identify A3B-interacting proteins in the presence of HBV. By this approach, we determined that DExD/H-box helicase 9 (DHX9) suppressed the anti-HBV effect of A3B, and this suppression was dependent on their interaction. Although DHX9 did not affect the deamination activity of A3B in vitro assay or the viral DNA editing of A3B in HepG2-NTCP cells that support HBV infection, it inhibited the binding of A3B with pgRNA. These data suggest that DHX9 can interact with A3B and attenuate the anti-HBV efficacy of A3B.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) DNA cytosine deaminase 3B (A3B) is a DNA editing enzyme which induces genomic DNA mutations in multiple myeloma and in various other cancers. APOBEC family proteins are highly homologous so it is especially difficult to investigate the biology of specifically A3B in cancer cells. To easily and comprehensively investigate A3B function in myeloma cells, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to generate A3B reporter cells that contain 3×FLAG tag and IRES-EGFP sequences integrated at the end of the A3B gene. These reporter cells stably express 3xFLAG tagged A3B and the reporter EGFP and this expression is enhanced by known stimuli, such as PMA. Conversely, shRNA knockdown of A3B decreased EGFP fluorescence and 3xFLAG tagged A3B protein levels. We screened a series of anticancer treatments using these cell lines and identified that most conventional therapies, such as antimetabolites or radiation, exacerbated endogenous A3B expression, but recent molecular targeted therapeutics, including bortezomib, lenalidomide and elotuzumab, did not. Furthermore, chemical inhibition of ATM, ATR and DNA-PK suppressed EGFP expression upon treatment with antimetabolites. These results suggest that DNA damage triggers A3B expression through ATM, ATR and DNA-PK signaling.
