Abstract
HIPK2 is an evolutionary conserved serine/threonine kinase with multifunctional roles in stress response, embryonic development and pathological conditions, such as cancer and fibrosis. The heterogeneity of its interactors and targets makes HIPK2 activity strongly dependent on the cellular context, and allows it to modulate multiple signaling pathways, ultimately regulating cell fate and proliferation. HIPK2 is highly expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and its genetic ablation causes neurological defects in mice. Moreover, HIPK2 is involved in processes, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress response and protein aggregate accumulation, and pathways, including TGF-β and BMP signaling, that are crucial in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. Here, we review the data about the role of HIPK2 in neuronal development, survival, and homeostasis, highlighting the implications in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, and pointing out HIPK2 potentiality as therapeutic target and diagnostic or prognostic marker.

Abstract
miRNAs are fascinating molecular players for gene regulation as individual miRNA can control multiple targets and a single target can be regulated by multiple miRNAs. Loss of miRNA regulated gene expression is often reported to be implicated in various human diseases like diabetes and cancer. Recently, geneticists across the world started reporting single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in seed sequences of miRNAs. Similarly, SNPs are also reported in various target sequences of these miRNAs. Both the scenarios lead to dysregulated gene expression which may result in the progression of diseases. In the present paper, we explore SNPs in various miRNAs and their target sequences reported in various human cancers as well as diabetes. Similarly, we also present evidence of these mutations in various other human diseases.

Abstract
Programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) in mammals, a gene closely associated with apoptosis, is involved in many biological processes, such as cell aging, differentiation, regulation of cell cycle, and inflammatory response. In this study, grouper Epinephelus coioides PDCD4, EcPDCD4-1 and EcPDCD4-2, were obtained. The open reading frame (ORF) of EcPDCD4-1 is 1413 bp encoding 470 amino acids with a molecular mass of 52.39 kDa and a theoretical pI of 5.33. The ORF of EcPDCD4-2 is 1410 bp encoding 469 amino acids with a molecular mass of 52.29 kDa and a theoretical pI of 5.29. Both EcPDCD4-1 and EcPDCD4-2 proteins contain two conserved MA3 domains, and their mRNA were detected in all eight tissues of E. coioides by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) with the highest expression in liver. The expressions of two EcPDCD4s were significantly up-regulated after Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) or Vibrio alginolyticus infection. In addition, over-expression of EcPDCD4-1 or EcPDCD4-2 can inhibit the activity of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1), and regulate SGIV-induced apoptosis. The results demonstrated that EcPDCD4s might play important roles in E. coioides tissues during pathogen-caused inflammation.

Abstract
WD repeat domain 77 protein (WDR77) is required for cellular proliferation of lung and prostate epithelial cells during earlier stages of development and is reactivated during prostate and lung tumorigenesis. WDR77 plays an essential role in prostate tumorigenesis and cell growth mediated by growth regulatory factors. Here, we identified E2F1 and E2F3 mRNAs as translational targets of WDR77. We demonstrated that WDR77 regulated the translation of E2F1 and E2F3 mRNAs through the 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) of E2F1 and E2F3 (E2F1/3) mRNAs. WDR77 physically interacted with programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) that suppresses translation of mRNAs containing structured 5' UTRs by interacting with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (eIF4A) and inhibiting its helicase activity. Further, we demonstrated that the interaction between WDR77 and PDCD4 prevented the binding of PDCD4 to eIF4A and relieved PDCD4's inhibitory effect on eIF4A1. Overall, our work reveals for the first time that WDR77 is directly involved in translational regulation of E2F1/3 mRNAs through their structured 5' UTRs, PDCD4, and eIF4A1 and provides novel insight into the cell growth controlled by WDR77.

Expression of protein kinase HIPK2 is subject to a quality control mechanism that acts during translation and requires its kinase activity to prevent degradation of nascent HIPK2.

Abstract
HIPK2 is a highly conserved, constitutively active Ser/Thr protein kinase that is involved in a broad spectrum of biological processes. We have previously reported that the expression of HIPK2 is auto-regulated by a mechanism that depends on the activity of its kinase domain, leading to decreased expression of kinase-dead versus wild-type HIPK2. We have now explored this mechanism in more detail. Differential expression of wild-type and kinase-dead HIPK2 is dependent on sequences located in the C-terminal part of HIPK2, but is only observed when this part of HIPK2 is translated together with the defective kinase domain. On their own, both the defective kinase domain and the C-terminal amino acid sequences are expressed at normal levels and independently of kinase activity. Insertion of a 2A-ribosomal skipping sequence into the HIPK2 coding sequence revealed that the differential expression of wild-type and kinase-dead HIPK2 is caused by degradation of nascent kinase-dead HIPK2. Because HIPK2 is constitutively active and auto-activates its kinase domain already during its translation we speculate that the regulatory mechanism discovered here serves as a quality control mechanism that leads to degradation of nascent kinase molecules with defective kinase domains. Overall our work provides insight into a novel auto-regulatory mechanism of HIPK2 expression, thereby adding a new layer of control to the regulation of HIPK2.

Abstract
The protein kinase homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) plays an important role in development and in the response to external cues. The kinase associates with an exceptionally large number of different transcription factors and chromatin regulatory proteins to direct distinct gene expression programs. In order to investigate the function of HIPK2 for chromatin compaction, HIPK2 was fused to the DNA-binding domains of Gal4 or LacI, thus allowing its specific targeting to binding sites for these transcription factors that were integrated in specific chromosome loci. Tethering of HIPK2 resulted in strong decompaction of euchromatic and heterochromatic areas. HIPK2-mediated heterochromatin decondensation started already 4 h after its chromatin association and required the functionality of its SUMO-interacting motif. This process was paralleled by disappearance of the repressive H3K27me3 chromatin mark, recruitment of the acetyltransferases CBP and p300 and increased histone acetylation at H3K18 and H4K5. HIPK2-mediated chromatin decompaction was strongly inhibited in the presence of a CBP/p300 inhibitor and completely blocked by the BET inhibitor JQ1, consistent with a causative role of acetylations for this process. Chromatin tethering of HIPK2 had only a minor effect on basal transcription, while it strongly boosted estrogen-triggered gene expression by acting as a transcriptional cofactor.

Abstract
The three canonical members of the family of homeodomain-interacting protein (HIP) kinases fulfill overlapping and distinct roles in cellular stress response pathways. Here we systematically compared all three endogenous HIPKs for their intracellular distribution and mutual interactions. The endogenous HIPKs are contained in high molecular weight complexes of ~700 kDa but do not directly interact physically. Under basal conditions, HIPK1 was mostly cytoplasmic, while HIPK3 was found in the nucleus and HIPK2 occurred in both compartments. Inhibition of nuclear export by leptomycin B resulted in the nuclear accumulation of mainly HIPK1 and HIPK2, indicating constitutive dynamic nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. The carcinogenic chemical stressor sodium arsenite caused the induction of HIPK2-dependent cell death and also resulted in a rapid and complete nuclear translocation of HIPK2, showing that the intracellular distribution of this kinase can undergo dynamic regulation.

Abstract
Sipi soup (SPS), the aqueous extract derived from the root bark of Sophora japonical L, Salix babylonica L., Morus alba L., as well as Amygdalus davidiana (Carr.) C. de Vos, is a traditional Chinese medicine frequently used to prevent and treat infection and inflammation. However, the role of SPS in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) require further investigation. In the present study, the effects of SPS on fibroblast inactivation and the underlying mechanism were investigated. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the mRNA expression levels of fibroblast activation protein (FAP), interleukin (IL)-6, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4). Flow cytometry was used to evaluate cell apoptosis. Immunofluorescence was used to determine the number of activated fibroblasts. The present study reported that SPS treatment did not affect the proliferative apoptotic potential of fibroblasts. Treatment with HeLa cell culture medium (CM) induced a significant increase in the expression levels of FAP, IL-6 and α-SMA, but reduced the expression of PDCD4. SPS reversed the effects of HeLa CM on the expression of these genes. Analysis with a long non-coding (lnc)RNA array of numerous differentially expressed lncRNAs revealed that the expression levels of the lncRNA homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 1 antisense RNA (HIPK1-AS) were increased in cervicitis tissues and cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues compared with in normal cervical tissues. HIPK1-AS expression levels were upregulated in response to HeLa CM, but were decreased under SPS treatment. The downregulation of HIPK1-AS expression via short hairpin RNA abolished the effects of HeLa CM on the expression of inflammation-associated genes. The findings of the present study suggested that SPS may prevent the progression of cervical cancer by inhibiting the activation of CAF and the inflammatory process by reducing HIPK1-AS expression.

Abstract
Down-regulation of the HIPK interactor CNOT2 leads to reduced HIPK2 protein levels, identifying the CCR4-NOT complex as a new regulator of HIPK2 abundance. Functional assays reveal that HIPK2 and HIPK1 restrict CNOT2-dependent mRNA decay, thus extending the regulatory potential of these kinases to the level of posttranscriptional gene regulation. The serine/threonine kinase HIPK2 functions as a regulator of developmental processes and as a signal integrator of a wide variety of stress signals, such as DNA damage, hypoxia, and reactive oxygen intermediates. Because the kinase is generated in a constitutively active form, its expression levels are restricted by a variety of different mechanisms. Here we identify the CCR4-NOT complex as a new regulator of HIPK2 abundance. Down-regulation or knockout of the CCR4-NOT complex member CNOT2 leads to reduced HIPK2 protein levels without affecting the expression level of HIPK1 or HIPK3. A fraction of all HIPK family members associates with the CCR4-NOT components CNOT2 and CNOT3. HIPKs also phosphorylate the CCR4-NOT complex, a feature that is shared with their yeast progenitor kinase, YAK1. Functional assays reveal that HIPK2 and HIPK1 restrict CNOT2-dependent mRNA decay. HIPKs are well known regulators of transcription, but the mutual regulation between CCR4-NOT and HIPKs extends the regulatory potential of these kinases by enabling posttranscriptional gene regulation.
