Protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPL1 suppresses lung cancer through Src/ERK/YAP1 signaling. Thorac Cancer 2022; 13:3042-3051. [PMID: 36193770 PMCID: PMC9626330 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14657] [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: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To reveal the function of protein tyrosine phosphatase-L1 (PTPL1) in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS Lung cancer cell lines were transfected with short hairpin RNA against PTPL1 (shPTPL1 group) or negative control (shmock group). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting were used to verify the transfection efficacy. Cell proliferation was analyzed by ethynyldeoxyuridine (EdU), Cell counting kit 8 (CCK8), and colony formation assay after PTPL1 or PTPL1 and yes-associated protein (YAP1) knockdown. The effect of PTPL1 on tumor growth was examined in a xenograft lung cancer model. RESULTS PTPL1 was downregulated in various types of lung cancer cell lines. The EdU, CCK8, colony formation assays and investigation using a xenograft lung cancer model indicated that PTPL1 knockdown increased the proliferation of lung cancer cells. Mechanistically, PTPL1 knockdown induced the activation of the Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase SRC (Src)/Extracellular regulated MAP kinase (ERK) pathway and thereby promoted yes-associated protein (YAP1) nuclear translocation and activation. CONCLUSIONS In our study, PTPL1 played a crucial suppressive role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer potentially through counteracting the Src/ERK/YAP1 pathway.

Dual Role of the PTPN13 Tyrosine Phosphatase in Cancer. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10121659. [PMID: 33322542 PMCID: PMC7763032 DOI: 10.3390/biom10121659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
In this review article, we present the current knowledge on PTPN13, a class I non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase identified in 1994. We focus particularly on its role in cancer, where PTPN13 acts as an oncogenic protein and also a tumor suppressor. To try to understand these apparent contradictory functions, we discuss PTPN13 implication in the FAS and oncogenic tyrosine kinase signaling pathways and in the associated biological activities, as well as its post-transcriptional and epigenetic regulation. Then, we describe PTPN13 clinical significance as a prognostic marker in different cancer types and its impact on anti-cancer treatment sensitivity. Finally, we present future research axes following recent findings on its role in cell junction regulation that implicate PTPN13 in cell death and cell migration, two major hallmarks of tumor formation and progression.

Abstract
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that plays an important role in gene regulation without an altered DNA sequence. Previous studies have demonstrated that diet affects obesity by partially mediating DNA methylation. Our study investigated the genome-wide DNA methylation of perirenal adipose tissue in rabbits to identify the epigenetic changes of high-fat diet-mediated obesity. Two libraries were constructed pooling DNA of rabbits fed a standard normal diet (SND) and DNA of rabbits fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were identified using the option of the sliding window method, and online software DAVID Bioinformatics Resources 6.7 was used to perform Gene Ontology (GO) terms and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway enrichment analysis of DMRs-associated genes. A total of 12,230 DMRs were obtained, of which 2305 (1207 up-regulated, 1098 down-regulated) and 601 (368 up-regulated, 233 down-regulated) of identified DMRs were observed in the gene body and promoter regions, respectively. GO analysis revealed that the DMRs-associated genes were involved in developmental process (GO:0032502), cell differentiation (GO:0030154), and lipid binding (GO:0008289), and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed the DMRs-associated genes were enriched in linoleic acid metabolism (KO00591), DNA replication (KO03030), and MAPK signaling pathway (KO04010). Our study further elucidates the possible functions of DMRs-associated genes in rabbit adipogenesis, contributing to the understanding of HFD-mediated obesity.

[PMID: 32919955 DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2020.112286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2020] [Revised: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 13 (PTPN13), has emerged as a critical cancer-related gene that is implicated in a wide range of cancer types. However, the role of PTPN13 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is poorly understood. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate whether PTPN13 participates in the progression of ccRCC. Decreased expression of PTPN13 was found in ccRCC tissues, which predicted a shorter survival rate in ccRCC patients. PTPN13 expression was also lower in ccRCC cell lines, and the upregulation of PTPN13 repressed the proliferation, colony formation and invasion, but enhanced the apoptosis of ccRCC cells. In contrast, the silencing of PTPN13 produced the opposite effects. Further data showed that PTPN13 overexpression decreased the phosphorylation of Akt, while PTPN13 silencing increased the phosphorylation of Akt. Treatment with Akt inhibitor markedly abrogated the PTPN13 silencing-evoked oncogenic effect in ccRCC cells. Xenograft tumor experiments revealed that overexpression of PTPN13 remarkably restricted the tumor formation and growth of ccRCC cells in vivo associated with inactivation of Akt. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that overexpression of PTPN13 restricts the proliferation and invasion of ccRCC cells through inactivation of Akt. Our study suggests a tumor suppressive function of PTPN13 in ccRCC and highlights the potential role of PTPN13 in the progression of ccRCC.

PTPN13 induces cell junction stabilization and inhibits mammary tumor invasiveness. Am J Cancer Res 2020; 10:1016-1032. [PMID: 31938048 PMCID: PMC6956795 DOI: 10.7150/thno.38537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2019] [Accepted: 11/03/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Clinical data suggest that the protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN13 exerts an anti-oncogenic effect. Its exact role in tumorigenesis remains, however, unclear due to its negative impact on FAS receptor-induced apoptosis. Methods: We crossed transgenic mice deleted for PTPN13 phosphatase activity with mice that overexpress human HER2 to assess the exact role of PTPN13 in tumor development and aggressiveness. To determine the molecular mechanism underlying the PTPN13 tumor suppressor activity we developed isogenic clones of the aggressive human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 overexpressing either wild type or a catalytically-inactive mutant PTPN13 and subjected these to phosphoproteomic and gene ontology analyses. We investigated the PTPN13 consequences on cell aggressiveness using wound healing and Boyden chamber assays, on intercellular adhesion using videomicroscopy, cell aggregation assay and immunofluorescence. Results: The development, growth and invasiveness of breast tumors were strongly increased by deletion of the PTPN13 phosphatase activity in transgenic mice. We observed that PTPN13 phosphatase activity is required to inhibit cell motility and invasion in the MDA-MB-231 cell line overexpressing PTPN13. In vivo, the negative PTPN13 effect on tumor invasiveness was associated with a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition phenotype in athymic mice xenografted with PTPN13-overexpressing MDA-MB-231 cells, as well as in HER2-overexpressing mice with wild type PTPN13, compared to HER2-overexpressing mice that lack PTPN13 phosphatase activity. Phosphoproteomic and gene ontology analyses indicated a role of PTPN13 in the regulation of intercellular junction-related proteins. Finally, protein localization studies in MDA-MB-231 cells and HER2-overexpressing mice tumors confirmed that PTPN13 stabilizes intercellular adhesion and promotes desmosome formation. Conclusions: These data provide the first evidence for the negative role of PTPN13 in breast tumor invasiveness and highlight its involvement in cell junction stabilization.

PTPN21 Overexpression Promotes Osteogenic and Adipogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells but Inhibits the Immunosuppressive Function. Stem Cells Int 2019; 2019:4686132.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) act as key regulators in various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Our previous research demonstrated that non-receptor-typed PTP21 (PTPN21), a member of the PTP family, played a critical role in the proliferation, cell cycle, and chemosensitivity of acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. However, the role of PTPN21 in the bone marrow microenvironment has not yet been elucidated. In the study, we explored the effects of PTPN21 on human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) via lentiviral-mediated overexpression and knock-down of PTPN21 in vitro. Overexpressing PTPN21 in BM-MSCs inhibited the proliferation through arresting cell cycle at the G0 phase but rendered them a higher osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential. In addition, overexpressing PTPN21 in BM-MSCs increased their senescence levels through upregulation of P21 and P53 and dramatically changed the levels of crosstalk with their typical target cells including immunocytes, tumor cells, and vascular endothelial cells. BM-MSCs overexpressing PTPN21 had an impaired immunosuppressive function and an increased capacity of recruiting tumor cells and vascular endothelial cells in a chemotaxis transwell coculture system. Collectively, our data suggested that PTPN21 acted as a pleiotropic factor in modulating the function of human BM-MSCs.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have thus far achieved substantial success. In the last decade, a large number of common variants underlying complex diseases have been identified through GWAS. In most existing GWAS, the identified common variants are obtained by single marker-based tests, that is, testing one single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at a time. Generally, the basic functional unit of inheritance is a gene, rather than a SNP. Thus, results from gene-level association test can be more readily integrated with downstream functional and pathogenic investigation. In this paper, we propose a general gene-based p-value adaptive combination approach (GPA) which can integrate association evidence of multiple genetic variants using only GWAS summary statistics (either p-value or other test statistics). The proposed method could be used to test genetic association for both continuous and binary traits through not only one study but also multiple studies, which would be helpful to overcome the limitation of existing methods that can only be applied to a specific type of data. We conducted thorough simulation studies to verify that the proposed method controls type I errors well, and performs favorably compared to single-marker analysis and other existing methods. We demonstrated the utility of our proposed method through analysis of GWAS meta-analysis results for fasting glucose and lipids from the international MAGIC consortium and Global Lipids Consortium, respectively. The proposed method identified some novel trait associated genes which can improve our understanding of the mechanisms involved in β -cell function, glucose homeostasis, and lipids traits.

High PTPN13 expression in high grade serous ovarian carcinoma is associated with a better patient outcome. Oncotarget 2017; 8:95662-95673.

Abstract
Background Chromosome 4q loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is frequently observed in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). However, this LOH has not been clearly associated with the inactivation of any tumor suppressor gene(s). As the tumor suppressor gene PTPN13 is located on chromosome 4q21, we investigated its expression in HGSOC. Methods PTPN13 protein expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in normal ovary epithelium and in 30 HGSOC samples, whereas PTPN13 mRNA expression was quantified by RT-PCR in another independent cohort of 28 HGSOC samples. Patients in both cohorts were followed for more than 8.5 years. Results PTPN13 protein expression was lower in one third of HGSOC samples compared with normal ovary epithelium. In both cohorts, high PTPN13 expression level (mRNA or protein) in the tumor was associated with favorable outcome and significantly longer survival (HR=0.27; p=0.0087 and HR=0.42; p=0.03, respectively). Conclusion This study demonstrates, for the first time, that high PTPN13 expression level is a prognostic indicator of favorable outcome in patients with HGSOC. This finding, in conjunction with our previous mechanistic studies, suggests that PTPN13 loss, possibly by 4q LOH, enhances HGSOC aggressiveness and highlight the interest of studying PTPN13 signaling in HGSOC to identify new potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Brown fat has been highlight as a new therapeutic target for treatment of obesity and diabetes. However, molecular mechanism underlying brown adipogenesis are not fully understood. Here, we identified that MAP kinase phosphatase 3 (MKP3) has a novel role as regulator of brown adipocyte differentiation. The expression of MKP3 was significantly decreased during the early stage(s) of brown adipocyte differentiation in HIB-1B cells and primary cells. Ectopic expression of MKP3 led to reduced brown adipocyte differentiation, whereas depletion of MKP3 significantly enhanced the differentiation of primary brown preadipocytes. Consistently, we found an increased brown adipocyte differentiation in MKP3-null MEF cells. These inhibitory effects of MKP3 could be resulted via the temporal regulation of Erk activation. In recent, it was reported that MKP3 deficient mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity, and display enhanced energy expenditure. Taken together, we suggest that MKP3 could be an important factor in the regulation of brown adipocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Aberrant hypermethylation of CpG islands of tumor suppressor is one of the mechanisms for epigenetic loss of gene function. In the present study, the methylation status of the promoter regions of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPN) 6, DAPK, and p16 were studied using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) in 26 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) lymphomas. In OCI-LY1 cell line, gene methylation status, expression of PTPL1 and its reactivation by DNA demethylation was determined by PCR and on the protein level by western blotting. ELISA-like reaction was used to detect global DNA methylation measurement. Induction of apoptosis by 5-azacitidine was analyzed by Annexin V/PI staining and flow cytometry. Our results show that hypermethylation of the PTPN6 gene promoter region was found in 15.4% (4/26), the DAPK gene promoter region in 30.8% (8/26), the p16 gene promoter region in 7.7% (2/26). Notably, we identified that PTPL1 was hypermethylated and transcriptionally silenced in OCI-LY1 cell line. The expression of PTPL1 was re-inducible by 5-azacytidine. 5-azacytidine also inhibits the proliferation and decreases the global methylation level of the OCI-LY1 cell line. We can conclude from our study that a higher prevalence of methylation of PTPL1, PTPN6, DAPK and p16 occur in DLBCL. Our data also highlights 5-azacytidine as a potential therapeutic candidate for DLBCL. Further studies are required to substantiate the role of methylation of PTPL1, PTPN6, DAPK and p16 as a marker in diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Dual-specificity phosphatase 10 controls brown adipocyte differentiation by modulating the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. PLoS One 2013; 8:e72340.

Abstract
Background Brown adipocytes play an important role in regulating the balance of energy, and as such, there is a strong correlation between obesity and the amount of brown adipose tissue. Although the molecular mechanism underlying white adipocyte differentiation has been well characterized, brown adipocyte differentiation has not been studied extensively. Here, we investigate the potential role of dual-specificity phosphatase 10 (DUSP10) in brown adipocyte differentiation using primary brown preadipocytes. Methods and Results The expression of DUSP10 increased continuously after the brown adipocyte differentiation of mouse primary brown preadipocytes, whereas the phosphorylation of p38 was significantly upregulated at an early stage of differentiation followed by steep downregulation. The overexpression of DUSP10 induced a decrease in the level of p38 phosphorylation, resulting in lower lipid accumulation than that in cells overexpressing the inactive mutant DUSP10. The expression levels of several brown adipocyte markers such as PGC-1α, UCP1, and PRDM16 were also significantly reduced upon the ectopic expression of DUSP10. Furthermore, decreased mitochondrial DNA content was detected in cells expressing DUSP10. The results obtained upon treatment with the p38 inhibitor, SB203580, clearly indicated that the phosphorylation of p38 at an early stage is important in brown adipocyte differentiation. The effect of the p38 inhibitor was partially recovered by DUSP10 knockdown using RNAi. Conclusions These results suggest that p38 phosphorylation is controlled by DUSP10 expression. Furthermore, p38 phosphorylation at an early stage is critical in brown adipocyte differentiation. Thus, the regulation of DUSP10 activity affects the efficiency of brown adipogenesis. Consequently, DUSP10 can be used as a novel target protein for the regulation of obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is a worldwide epidemic as well as being a major risk factor for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and several types of cancers. Obesity is mainly due to the overgrowth of adipose tissue arising from an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. Adipose tissue, primarily composed of adipocytes, plays a key role in maintaining whole body energy homeostasis. In view of the treatment of obesity and obesity-related diseases, it is critical to understand the detailed signal transduction mechanisms of adipogenic differentiation. Adipogenic differentiation is tightly regulated by many key signal cascades, including insulin signaling. These signal cascades generally transfer or amplify the signal by using serial tyrosine phosphorylations. Thus, protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases are closely related to adipogenic differentiation. Compared to protein tyrosine kinases, protein tyrosine phosphatases have received little attention in adipogenic differentiation. This review aims to highlight the involvement of protein tyrosine phosphatases in adipogenic differentiation and the possibility of protein tyrosine phosphatases as drugs to target obesity.

Abstract
Identification of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) substrates is critical in understanding cellular role in normal cells as well as cancer cells. We have previously shown that reduction of PTPL1 protein levels in Ewings sarcoma (ES) inhibit cell growth and tumorigenesis. Therefore, we sought to identify novel PTPL1 substrates that may be important for tumorigenesis. In this current work, we demonstrated that mouse embryonic fibroblasts without PTPL1 catalytic activity fail to form foci when transfected with oncogenes. We proved that catalytic activity of PTPL1 is important for ES cell growth. Using a substrate-trapping mutant of PTPL1 we identified putative PTPL1 substrates by mass-spectrometry. One of these putative substrates was characterized as Valosin Containing Protein (VCP/p97). Using multiple biochemical assays we validated VCP as a novel substrate of PTPL1. We also provide evidence that tyrosine phosphorylation of VCP might be important for its midbody localization during cytokinesis. In conclusion, our work identifies VCP as a new substrate for PTPL1, which may be important in cellular transformation. Our investigation link an oncogenic transcription factor EWS-FLI1, with a key transcriptional target protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPL1, and its substrate VCP. Given our observation that PTPL1 catalytic activity is important for cell transformation, our results may also suggest that VCP regulation by PTPL1 might be important for tumorigenesis.

Abstract
The factors that influence preadipocyte determination remain poorly understood. In the present paper, we report that CREBL2 [CREB (cAMP-response-element-binding protein)-like 2], a novel bZIP_1 protein, is up-regulated during MDI-induced preadipocyte differentiation. During both overexpression and under physiological conditions, CREBL2 interacted and was entirely co-localized with CREB. Overexpression of CREBL2 was sufficient to promote adipogenesis via up-regulating the expression of PPARγ (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ) and C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α) and accelerate lipogenesis accompanied with increased GLUT (glucose transporter) 1 and GLUT4. CREBL2 knockdown restrained adipogenic conversion and lipogenesis. Additionally, depletion of CREB could completely block the effects of overexpressed CREBL2, whereas an increase in CREB could not drive adipogenesis in the absence of CREBL2, indicating that the roles for CREBL2 on adipogenesis were CREB-dependent. Furthermore, siCREBL2 [siRNA (short interfering RNA) against CREBL2] could down-regulate CREB transcriptional activity and suppress CREB phosphorylation. CREB knockdown decreased the CREBL2 protein levels and vice versa. Collectively, the results of the present study indicate that CREBL2 plays a critical role in adipogenesis and lipogenesis via interaction with CREB.

Abstract
Adipocyte differentiation can be regulated by the combined activity of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). In particular, PTPs act as key regulators in differentiation-associated signaling pathways. We recently found that receptor-type PTPμ (RPTPμ) expression is markedly increased during the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and mesenchymal stem cells. Here, we investigate the functional roles of RPTPμ and the mechanism of its involvement in the regulation of signal transduction during adipogenesis of 3T3-L1 cells. Depletion of endogenous RPTPμ by RNA interference significantly inhibited adipogenic differentiation, whereas RPTPμ overexpression led to an increase in adipogenic differentiation. Ectopic expression of p120 catenin suppressed adipocyte differentiation, and the decrease in adipogenesis by p120 catenin was recovered by introducing RPTPμ. Moreover, RPTPμ induced a decrease in the cytoplasmic p120 catenin expression by reducing its tyrosine phosphorylation level, consequently leading to enhanced translocation of Glut-4 to the plasma membrane. On the basis of these results, we propose that RPTPμ acts as a positive regulator of adipogenesis by modulating the cytoplasmic p120 catenin level. Our data conclusively demonstrate that differentiation into adipocytes is controlled by RPTPμ, supporting the utility of RPTPμ and p120 catenin as novel target proteins for the treatment of obesity.

Abstract
The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPL1/PTPN13, the activity of which is decreased through allelic loss, promoter methylation, or somatic mutations in some tumors, has been proposed as a tumor suppressor gene. Moreover, our recent clinical study identified PTPL1 expression level as an independent prognostic indicator of a favorable outcome for patients with breast cancer. However, how PTPL1 can affect tumor aggressiveness has not been characterized. Here, we first show that PTPL1 expression, assessed by immunohistochemistry, is decreased in breast cancer and metastasis specimens compared with nonmalignant tissues. Second, to evaluate whether PTPL1 plays a critical role in breast cancer progression, RNA interference experiments were performed in poorly tumorigenic MCF-7 breast cancer cells. PTPL1 inhibition drastically increased tumor growth in athymic mice and also enhanced several parameters associated with tumor progression, including cell proliferation on extracellular matrix components and cell invasion. Furthermore, the inhibition of Src kinase expression drastically blocked the effects of PTPL1 silencing on cell growth. In PTPL1 knockdown cells, the phosphorylation of Src on tyrosine 419 is increased, leading to the activation of its downstream substrates Fak and p130cas. Finally, substrate-trapping experiments revealed that Src tyrosine 419 is a direct target of the phosphatase. Thus, by identification of PTPL1 as the first phosphatase able to inhibit Src through direct dephosphorylation in intact cells, we presently describe a new mechanism by which PTPL1 inhibits breast tumor aggressiveness.
