Abstract
CUL4A is an ubiquitin ligase deregulated in numerous pathologies including cancer and even hijacked by viruses for facilitating their survival and propagation. However, its role in Human papilloma virus (HPV)-mediated cervical carcinogenesis remains elusive. The UALCAN and GEPIA datasets were analyzed to ascertain the transcript levels of CUL4A in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) patients. Subsequently, various biochemical assays were employed to explore the functional contribution of CUL4A in cervical carcinogenesis and to shed some light on its involvement in Cisplatin resistance in cervical cancer. Our UALCAN and GEPIA datasets analyses reveal elevated CUL4A transcript levels in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC) patients that correlate with adverse clinicopathological parameters such as tumor stage and lymph node metastasis. Kaplan-Meier plot and GEPIA assessment depict poor prognosis of CESC patients having high CUL4A expression. Varied biochemical assays illustrate that CUL4A inhibition severely curtails hallmark malignant properties such as cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion of cervical cancer cells. We also show that CUL4A knockdown in HeLa cells causes increased susceptibility and better apoptotic induction toward Cisplatin, a mainstay drug used in cervical cancer treatment. More interestingly, we find reversion of Cisplatin-resistant phenotype of HeLa cells and an augmented cytotoxicity towards the platinum compound upon CUL4A downregulation. Taken together, our study underscores CUL4A as a cervical cancer oncogene and illustrates its potential as a prognosis indicator. Our investigation provides a novel avenue in improving current anti-cervical cancer therapy and overcoming the bottle-neck of Cisplatin resistance.

Cytoglobin functions as a redox regulator of melanogenesis in normal epidermal melanocytes. Pigment Cell Melanoma Res 2024; 37:276-285.

Abstract
Epidermal melanocytes are continuously exposed to sunlight-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress generated during the synthesis of melanin. Therefore, they have developed mechanisms that maintain normal redox homeostasis. Cytoglobin (CYGB), a ubiquitously expressed intracellular iron hexacoordinated globin, exhibits antioxidant activity and regulates the redox state of mammalian cells through its activities as peroxidase and nitric oxide (NO) dioxygenase. We postulated that CYGB functions in the melanogenic process as a regulator that maintains oxidative stress within a physiological level. This was examined by characterizing normal human melanocytes with the knockdown (KD) of CYGB using morphological and molecular biological criteria. CYGB-KD cells were larger, had more dendrites, and generated more melanin granules in the advanced stages of melanogenesis than control cells. The expression levels of major melanogenesis-associated genes and proteins were higher in CYGB-KD melanocytes than in wild type (WT) cells. As expected, CYGB-KD melanocytes generated more ROS and NO than WT cells. In conclusion, CYGB physiologically contributes to maintaining redox homeostasis in the melanogenic activity of normal melanocytes by controlling the intracellular levels of ROS and NO.

Abstract
Multiple functions have been proposed for the ubiquitously expressed vertebrate globin cytoglobin (Cygb), including nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, lipid peroxidation/signalling, superoxide dismutase activity, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS) scavenging, regulation of blood pressure, antifibrosis, and both tumour suppressor and oncogenic effects. Since alternative splicing can expand the biological roles of a gene, we investigated whether this mechanism contributes to the functional diversity of Cygb. By mining of cDNA data and molecular analysis, we identified five alternative mRNA isoforms for the human CYGB gene (V-1 to V-5). Comprehensive RNA-seq analyses of public datasets from human tissues and cells confirmed that the canonical CYGB V-1 isoform is the primary CYGB transcript in the majority of analysed datasets. Interestingly, we revealed that isoform V-3 represented the predominant CYGB variant in hepatoblastoma (HB) cell lines and in the majority of analysed normal and HB liver tissues. CYGB V-3 mRNA is transcribed from an alternate upstream promoter and hypothetically encodes a N-terminally truncated CYGB protein, which is not recognized by some antibodies used in published studies. Little to no transcriptional evidence was found for the other CYGB isoforms. Comparative transcriptomics and flow cytometry on CYGB+/+ and gene-edited CYGB-/- HepG2 HB cells did not unveil a knockout phenotype and, thus, a potential function for CYGB V-3. Our study reveals that the CYGB gene is transcriptionally more complex than previously described as it expresses alternative mRNA isoforms of unknown function. Additional experimental data are needed to clarify the biological meaning of those alternative CYGB transcripts.

Abstract
Cytoglobin is important in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma but the molecular and cellular basis remain to be elucidated. In the current study, we develop a new cell model to study the function of cytoglobin in oral squamous carcinoma and response to cisplatin. Transcriptomic profiling showed cytoglobin mediated changes in expression of genes related to stress response, redox metabolism, mitochondrial function, cell adhesion, and fatty acid metabolism. Cellular and biochemical studies show that cytoglobin expression results in changes to phenotype associated with cancer progression including: increased cellular proliferation, motility and cell cycle progression. Cytoglobin also protects cells from cisplatin-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress with levels of the antioxidant glutathione increased and total and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species levels reduced. The mechanism of cisplatin resistance involved inhibition of caspase 9 activation and cytoglobin protected mitochondria from oxidative stress-induced fission. To understand the mechanism behind these phenotypic changes we employed lipidomic analysis and demonstrate that levels of the redox sensitive and apoptosis regulating cardiolipin are significantly up-regulated in cells expressing cytoglobin. In conclusion, our data shows that cytoglobin expression results in important phenotypic changes that could be exploited by cancer cells in vivo to facilitate disease progression.

Abstract
Cytoglobin is a conserved hemoprotein ubiquitously expressed in mammalian tissues, which conducts electron transfer reactions with proposed signaling functions in nitric oxide (NO) and lipid metabolism. Cytoglobin has an E7 distal histidine (His81), which unlike related globins such as myoglobin and hemoglobin, is in equilibrium between a bound, hexacoordinate state and an unbound, pentacoordinate state. The His81 binding equilibrium appears to be allosterically modulated by the presence of an intramolecular disulfide between two cysteines (Cys38 and Cys83). The formation of this disulfide bridge regulates nitrite reductase activity and lipid binding. Herein, we attempt to clarify the effects of defined thiol oxidation states on small molecule binding of cytoglobin heme, using cyanide binding to probe the ferric state. Cyanide binding kinetics to wild-type cytoglobin reveal at least two kinetically distinct subpopulations, depending on thiol oxidation states. Experiments with covalent thiol modification by NEM, glutathione, and amino acid substitutions (C38S, C83S and H81A), indicate that subpopulations ranging from fully reduced thiols, single thiol oxidation, and intramolecular disulfide formation determine heme binding properties by modulating the histidine-heme affinity and ligand binding. The redox modulation of ligand binding is sensitive to physiological levels of hydrogen peroxide, with a functional midpoint redox potential for the native cytoglobin intramolecular disulfide bond of -189 ± 4 mV, a value within the boundaries of intracellular redox potentials. These results support the hypothesis that Cys38 and Cys83 on cytoglobin serve as sensitive redox sensors that modulate the cytoglobin distal heme pocket reactivity and ligand binding.

Abstract
Reprogrammed energy metabolism, especially the Warburg effect (aerobic glycolysis), is an emerging hallmark of cancer. Different from other breast cancer subtypes, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits high metabolic remodeling, increased aggressiveness and lack of targeted therapies. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are essential to TNBC malignant phenotypes. However, little is known about the contribution of miRNA to aerobic glycolysis in TNBC. Through an integrated analysis and functional verification, we reported that several miRNAs significantly correlates to the Warburg effect in TNBC, including miR-210-3p, miR-105-5p, and miR-767-5p. Ectopic expression of miR-210-3p enhanced glucose uptake, lactate production, extracellular acidification rate, colony formation ability, and reduced serum starvation-induced cell apoptosis. Moreover, GPD1L and CYGB were identified as two functional mediators of miR-210-3p in TNBC. Mechanistically, miR-210-3p targeted GPD1L to maintain HIF-1α stabilization and suppressed p53 activity via CYGB. Ultimately, miR-210-3p facilitated aerobic glycolysis through modulating the downstream glycolytic genes of HIF-1α and p53. Taken together, our results decipher miRNAs that regulate aerobic glycolysis and uncover that miR-210-3p specifically contributes to the Warburg effect in TNBC.

Abstract
The present study aimed to establish a cellular model to test the hypothesis that oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is triggered by aging-related activation of microglia. Primary microglia were incubated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and β-galactosidase (β-Gal) staining was applied to subsequent assessment of cellular senescence. Moreover, flow cytometry was employed for examinations of cell cycle arrest and senescence-associated proteins, p53 and p21 were measured by western blotting. Furthermore, examination of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were carried out with microglia supernatants undergoing age-related degenerative diseases in the nervous system, using ELISA. PC12 cells were co-cultured with microglia activated by aging-related alteration(s) to evaluate whether apoptosis was increased in PC12 cells. Cellular senescence-associated β-Gal staining showed that microglial β-Gal expression gradually increased with prolonged PMA stimulation. Microglia in the group receiving 72 h of PMA stimulation displayed the highest percentage of cells arrested in G0/G1, the highest amount of senescence-associated expression of p53 and p21, and the most prominent secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β. In comparison with controls, an increase of apoptotic PC12 cells was detected, which were co-cultured with aging microglia. Taken together, microglia tend to undergo senescence after PMA treatment, suggesting that microglial senescence is associated with inactivation of certain oncogenes.

Abstract
Fourteen arylsemicarbazone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in order to find agents with potential anticancer activity. Cytotoxic screening was performed against K562, HL-60, MOLT-4, HEp-2, NCI-H292, HT-29 and MCF-7 tumor cell lines. Compounds 3c and 4a were active against the tested cancer cell lines, being more cytotoxic for the HL-60 cell line with IC50 values of 13.08 μM and 11.38 μM, respectively. Regarding the protein kinase inhibition assay, 3c inhibited seven different kinases and 4a strongly inhibited the CK1δ/ε kinase. The studied kinases are involved in several cellular functions such as proliferation, migration, cell death and cell cycle progression. Additional analysis by flow cytometry revealed that 3c and 4a caused depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane, suggesting apoptosis mediated by the intrinsic pathway. Compound 3c induced arrest in G1 phase of the cell cycle on HL-60 cells, and in the annexin V assay approximately 50% of cells were in apoptosis at the highest concentration tested (26 μM). Compound 4a inhibited cell cycle by accumulation of abnormal postmitotic cells at G1 phase and induced DNA fragmentation at the highest concentration (22 μM).

Abstract
Nearly 40 000 women die annually from breast cancer in the United States. Clinically available targeted breast cancer therapy is largely ineffective in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), characterized by tumors that lack expression of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2). TNBC is associated with a poor prognosis. Previous reports show that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) partial agonist 2-(4-amino-3-methylphenyl)-5-fluorobenzothiazole (5F 203) selectively inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells, including those of the TNBC subtype. We previously demonstrated that 5F 203 induced the expression of putative tumor suppressor gene cytoglobin (CYGB) in breast cancer cells. In the current study, we determined that 5F 203 induces apoptosis and caspase-3 activation in MDA-MB-468 TNBC cells and in T47D ER+ PR + Her2 - breast cancer cells. We also show that caspases and CYGB promote 5F 203-mediated apoptosis in MDA-MB-468 cells. 5F 203 induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and cathepsin B release in MDA-MB-468 and T47D cells. In addition, silencing CYGB attenuated the ability of 5F 203 to induce caspase-3/-7 activation, proapoptotic gene expression, LMP, and cathepsin B release in MDA-MB-468 cells. Moreover, 5F 203 induced CYGB protein expression, proapoptotic protein expression, and caspase-3 cleavage in MDA-MB-468 cells and in MDA-MB-468 xenograft tumors grown orthotopically in athymic mice. These data provide a basis for the development of AhR ligands with the potential to restore CYGB expression as a novel strategy to treat TNBC.

Abstract
Background Recent studies suggested the globin family member cytoglobin (CYGB) as a potential tumor suppressor; however, the mechanism by which CYGB suppresses cancer is elusive. We investigated the role and mechanism of CYGB in suppressing breast cancer. Methods CYGB expression was examined by reverse transcription PCR, quantitative reverse transcription PCR and open database analysis. Promoter methylation was examined by methylation-specific PCR. Metabolomics and proteomics were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation, respectively. The effects and mechanisms of ectopic CYGB expression in breast cancer cells were assessed with molecular biological and cellular approaches in vitro and with a xenograft tumor model in nude mice. Results CYGB expression was downregulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, which was associated with promoter methylation. Ectopic CYGB expression suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion and induced apoptosis in breast cancer cell lines MCF7 (p53WT) and MB231 (p53mt) in vitro, and inhibited xenograft tumor growth in vivo. By proteomics and metabolomics analysis, glucose metabolism was found to be one of the main pathways suppressed by CYGB. The CYGB-expressing cells had lower ATP and compromised glycolysis. Additionally, CYGB suppressed key glucose metabolism factors including GLUT1 and HXK2 in p53-dependent and -independent manners. Restoration of GLUT1 or HXK2 expression attenuated CYGB-mediated proliferation suppression and apoptosis induction. Conclusions CYGB is a potential tumor suppressor in breast cancer that is epigenetically suppressed. The results for the first time suggest that CYGB suppresses breast cancer through inhibiting glucose metabolism, which could be exploited for breast cancer prevention and therapy.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) account for tumor self-renewal and heterogeneity. Oxidative-nitrosative stress (ONS) is an independent etiologic factor throughout tumorigenesis. Emerging evidences indicated that the interaction of ONS with CSCs contributes to tumor progression and resistance to chemoradiotherapy. Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a member of human hexacoordinate hemoglobin family and acts as a dynamic mediator of redox homeostasis. We observed that Cygb is significantly deregulated in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissue and its decrease aggravates the growth of liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) and increases the subpopulation of CD133(+) LCSCs. Cygb restoration inhibits HCC proliferation and LCSC growth, and decreases the subpopulation of CD133 (+) LCSCs in vitro. We found that Cygb absence promotes LCSC phenotypes and PI3 K/AKT activation, whereas Cygb restoration inhibits LCSC phenotypes and PI3 K/AKT activation. Furthermore, exogenous antioxidants can eliminate the inhibitory effect of Cygb to LCSC growth and phenotypes, as well as PI3 K/AKT activation. Collectively, this study demonstrated that cytoglobin functions as a tumor suppressor and targets CSCs at an ONS-dependent manner. Thus, Cygb restoration could be a novel and promising therapeutic strategy against HCC with aberrant ROS/RNS accumulation.

Abstract
Lung metastasis is a major cause of mortality in patients with osteosarcoma (OS). A better understanding of the molecular mechanism of OS lung metastasis may facilitate development of new therapeutic strategies to prevent the metastasis. We have established high- and low-metastatic sublines (LM8-H and LM8-L, respectively) from Dunn OS cell line LM8 by using in vivo image-guided screening. Among the genes whose expression was significantly increased in LM8-H compared to LM8-L, the transcription factor lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) was identified as a factor that promotes LM8-H cell extravasation into the lungs. To identify downstream effectors of LEF1 that are involved in OS lung metastasis, 13 genes were selected based on LM8 microarray data and genomewide meta-analysis of a public database for OS patients. Among them, the cytoglobin (Cygb) gene was identified as a key effector in promoting OS extravasation into the lungs. CYGB overexpression increased the extravasation ability of LM8-L cells, whereas knocking out the Cygb gene in LM8-H cells reduced this ability. Our results showed a novel LEF1-CYGB axis in OS lung metastasis and may provide a new way of developing therapeutic strategies to prevent OS lung metastasis.

Abstract
Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a member of the hemoglobin family and is thought to protect against cellular hypoxia and oxidative stress. These functions may be particularly important in inflammation-induced cancer, e.g., in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). In this study, we investigated the development of inflammation and tumors in a murine model of inflammation-induced colorectal cancer using a combined treatment of azoxymethane and dextran sulfate sodium. A bioinformatics analysis of genome-wide expression data revealed increased colonic inflammation at the molecular level accompanied by enhanced macroscopic tumor development in Cygb-deficient mice. Moreover, the expression of the UC-associated gene neurexophilin and PC-esterase domain family member 4 (Nxpe4) depended on the presence of Cygb in the inflamed colonic mucosa. Compared to wild type mice, RT-qPCR confirmed a 14-fold (p = 0.0003) decrease in Nxpe4 expression in the inflamed colonic mucosa from Cygb-deficient mice. An analysis of Cygb protein expression suggested that Cygb is expressed in fibroblast-like cells surrounding the colonic crypts. Histological examinations of early induced lesions suggested that the effect of Cygb is primarily at the level of tumor promotion. In conclusion, in this model, Cygb primarily seemed to inhibit the development of established microadenomas.

Abstract
Cytoglobin (Cygb) is a cellular haemoprotein belonging to the globin family with ambiguous biological functions. Downregulation of Cygb in many cancers is indicative of its tumour-suppressive role. This is the first report showing the cell cycle regulation of Cygb, which was found to peak at G1 and rapidly decline in S phase. Importantly, Skp2-mediated degradation of Cygb was identified as the key mechanism for controlling its oscillating levels during the cell cycle. Moreover, overexpression of Cygb stimulates hypophosphorylation of Rb causing delayed cell cycle progression. Overall, the study reveals a novel mechanism for the regulated expression of Cygb and also assigns a new role to Cygb in cell cycle control.

Abstract
Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), as a potent tumor promoter, may induce microglial senescence. The present study investigated the effect of PMA infection on microglial senescence. From 58 male Sprague-Dawley rats, 10 were randomly selected and divided into a PMA injection group, containing five rats (0.5 µg/µl PMA) and a control group, containing five rats (commensurable 0.9% saline). Immunofluorescent staining of Iba-1 and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analyses of the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1 β were performed in these two groups. The remaining 48 rats were randomly divided into the following three groups, each containing 16 rats: Repeated injection control group (commensurable normal saline, once a week for 4 weeks), single PMA injection group (0.5 µg/µl PMA, once in the first week) and repeated injection PMA group (0.5 µg/µl PMA, once a week for 4 weeks). The expression levels of p21, detected using double immunofluorescence staining with Iba-1, and β-galactosidase, via double immunohistochemical staining of Iba-1, were examined in these three groups. The results indicated that a single injection of PMA did not change the microglial morphology and had no significant effects on the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, compared with the control group (P>0.05). Following four repeated injections of PMA, the microglia in the substantia nigra presented with features of senescence, characterized by increased expression levels of β-galactosidase (P<0.001) and p21 (P<0.001), compared with the repeated injection control group. In conclusion, repeated intra-nigrostriatal treatment with PMA induced microglial senescence with increased expression levels of β-galactosidase and p21 in the substantia nigra of the rats.

Oncogene 2015; 35:1493-503.

Abstract
During physiological aerobic metabolism, the epidermis undergoes significant oxidative stress as a result of the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To maintain a balanced oxidative state, cells have developed protective antioxidant systems, and preliminary studies suggest that the transcriptional factor p63 is involved in cellular oxidative defence. Supporting this hypothesis, the ΔNp63α isoform of p63 is expressed at high levels in the proliferative basal layer of the epidermis. Here we identify the CYGB gene as a novel transcriptional target of ΔNp63 that is involved in maintaining epidermal oxidative defence. The CYGB gene encodes cytoglobin, a member of the globin protein family, which facilitates the diffusion of oxygen through tissues and acts as a scavenger for nitric oxide or other ROS. By performing promoter activity assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation, reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR and western blotting analyses, we confirm the direct regulation of CYGB by ΔNp63α. We also demonstrate that CYGB has a protective role in proliferating keratinocytes grown under normal conditions, as well as in cells treated with exogenous hydrogen peroxide. These results indicate that ΔNp63, through its target CYGB has an important role in the cellular antioxidant system and protects keratinocytes from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. The ΔNp63-CYGB axis is also present in lung and breast cancer cell lines, indicating that CYGB-mediated ROS-scavenging activity may also have a role in epithelial tumours. In human lung cancer data sets, the p63-CYGB interaction significantly predicts reduction of patient survival.
