Mutation of SIVA, a candidate metastasis gene identified from clonally related bilateral breast cancers, promotes breast cancer cell spread in vitro and in vivo. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0302856. [PMID: 38722955 PMCID: PMC11081324 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0302856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Metastasis is the most dreaded outcome after a breast cancer diagnosis, and little is known regarding what triggers or promotes breast cancer to spread distally, or how to prevent or eradicate metastasis effectively. Bilateral breast cancers are an uncommon form of breast cancers. In our study, a percentage of bilateral breast cancers were clonally related based on copy number variation profiling. Whole exome sequencing and comparative sequence analysis revealed that a limited number of somatic mutations were acquired in this "breast-to-breast" metastasis that might promote breast cancer distant spread. One somatic mutation acquired was SIVA-D160N that displayed pro-metastatic phenotypes in vivo and in vitro. Over-expression of SIVA-D160N promoted migration and invasion of human MB-MDA-231 breast cancer cells in vitro, consistent with a dominant negative interfering function. When introduced via tail vein injection, 231 cells over-expressing SIVA-D160N displayed enhanced distant spread on IVIS imaging. Over-expression of SIVA-D160N promoted invasion and anchorage independent growth of mouse 4T1 breast cancer cells in vitro. When introduced orthotopically via mammary fat pad injection in syngeneic Balb/c mice, over-expression of SIVA-D160N in 4T1 cells increased orthotopically implanted mammary gland tumor growth as well as liver metastasis. Clonally related bilateral breast cancers represented a novel system to investigate metastasis and revealed a role of SIVA-D160N in breast cancer metastasis. Further characterization and understanding of SIVA function, and that of its interacting proteins, may elucidate mechanisms of breast cancer metastasis, providing clinically useful biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

SIVA-1 enhances acquired chemotherapeutic drug resistance of gastric cancer in vivo by regulating the ARF/MDM2/p53 pathway. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24394. [PMID: 38312638 PMCID: PMC10834467 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24394] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 01/07/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
SIVA-1 has been shown to affect apoptotic processes in various different cell lines, and SIVA-1 significantly contributes to the decreased responsiveness of cancer cells to some chemotherapy agents. However, whether SIVA-1 has potential application in gastric cancer remains unknown. Therefore, the objective of this investigation was to clarify the distinct function of SIVA-1 in chemotherapeutic drug resistance within a living murine model with gastric malignancy, and initially elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In an established multidrug-resistant gastric cancer xenograft mouse model, lentivirus, named Lv-SIVA-1, was injected into xenograft tumors, and increased the mRNA and protein expression of endogenous SIVA-1 in tumors. Immunohistochemical assays of xenograft tumor showed that SIVA-1 was significantly upregulated, and the protein expression levels of SIVA-1 were highly increased, as detected by Western blotting. In addition, we detected the role of SIVA-1 in cell proliferation and cell apoptosis in gastric cancer cells by TUNEL and found that SIVA-1 decreased tumor cell apoptosis and promoted tumor growth in vivo. Using a TMT assay between tumor tissues of experimental and control groups, differentially expressed proteins were examined and three potential biomarkers of multidrug resistance (ARF, MDM2, and p53) were screened. We further investigated the molecular mechanism by which SIVA-1 played an efficient role against chemotherapies and found that overexpressed SIVA-1 leads to increased ARF and MDM2 expression and suppressed expression of p53 in tumor tissue. In conclusion, SIVA-1 plays a significant role in the multidrug resistance of gastric tumors. In addition, overexpressed SIVA-1 positively regulates cell proliferation, adjusts cycle progression, and reduces the response to drug treatment for gastric cancer in an ARF/MDM2/p53-dependent manner. This novel research provides a basis for chemical management of gastric cancer through regulation of SIVA-1 expression.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses one of the most serious threats to human health worldwide, and abnormally expressed c-Myc and p53 are deemed the pivotal driving forces of CRC progression. In this study, we discovered that the lncRNA FIT, which was downregulated in CRC clinical samples, was transcriptionally suppressed by c-Myc in vitro and promoted CRC cell apoptosis by inducing FAS expression. FAS is a p53 target gene, and we found that FIT formed a trimer with RBBP7 and p53 that facilitated p53 acetylation and p53-mediated FAS gene transcription. Moreover, FIT was capable of retarding CRC growth in a mouse xenograft model, and FIT expression was positively correlated with FAS expression in clinical samples. Thus, our study elucidates the role of the lncRNA FIT in human colorectal cancer growth and provides a potential target for anti-CRC drugs.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) is a new key regulatory molecule in the occurrence of osteoporosis, but its research is still in the primary stage. In order to study the role and mechanism of lncRNA in the occurrence of osteoporosis, we reannotated the GSE35956 datasets, compared and analyzed the differential expression profiles of lncRNAs between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) from healthy and osteoporotic patients, and then screened a lncRNA RAD51-AS1 with low expression in hBMSCs from osteoporotic patients, and its role in the occurrence of osteoporosis has not been studied. We confirmed that the expression level of lncRNA RAD51-AS1 in hBMSCs from patients with osteoporosis was significantly lower than those from healthy donors. A nuclear cytoplasmic separation experiment and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that RAD51-AS1 was mainly located in the nucleus. RAD51-AS1 knockdown significantly inhibited the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and significantly increased their apoptosis, while RAD51-AS1 overexpression significantly promoted the proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and ectopic bone formation of hBMSCs. Mechanistically, we found that RAD51-AS1 banded to YBX1 and then activated the TGF-β signal pathway by binding to Smad7 and Smurf2 mRNA to inhibit their translation and transcription up-regulated PCNA and SIVA1 by binding to their promoter regions. In conclusion, RAD51-AS1 promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs by binding YBX1, inhibiting the translation of Smad7 and Smurf2, and transcriptionally up-regulated PCNA and SIVA1.

Abstract
Although the classic activities of p53 including induction of cell-cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis are well accepted as critical barriers to cancer development, accumulating evidence suggests that loss of these classic activities is not sufficient to abrogate the tumor suppression activity of p53. Numerous studies suggest that metabolic regulation contributes to tumor suppression, but the mechanisms by which it does so are not completely understood. Cancer cells rewire cellular metabolism to meet the energetic and substrate demands of tumor development. It is well established that p53 suppresses glycolysis and promotes mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation through a number of downstream targets against the Warburg effect. The role of p53-mediated metabolic regulation in tumor suppression is complexed by its function to promote both cell survival and cell death under different physiological settings. Indeed, p53 can regulate both pro-oxidant and antioxidant target genes for complete opposite effects. In this review, we will summarize the roles of p53 in the regulation of glucose, lipid, amino acid, nucleotide, iron metabolism, and ROS production. We will highlight the mechanisms underlying p53-mediated ferroptosis, AKT/mTOR signaling as well as autophagy and discuss the complexity of p53-metabolic regulation in tumor development.

Abstract
Trabeculectomy can effectively reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients, the long-term surgical failure is due to the excessive proliferation and fibrotic response of conjunctival fibroblasts which causes the subconjunctival scar and non-functional filtering bleb. In this study, we demonstrated that AZD6738 (Ceralasertib), a novel potent ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) kinase inhibitor, can inhibit the fibrotic response of conjunctival fibroblasts for the first time. Our in vitro study demonstrated that AZD6738 inhibited the level and the phosphorylation of checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1), reduced TGF-β1-induced cell proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis of human conjunctival fibroblasts (HConFs) in the high-dose group (5 μM). Low-dose AZD6738 (0.1 μM) inhibited the phosphorylation of CHK1 and reduce fibrotic response but did not promote apoptosis of HConFs. Further molecular research indicated that AZD6738 regulates survival and apoptosis of HConFs by balancing the CHK1/P53 and PI3K/AKT pathways, and inhibiting TGF-β1-induced fibrotic response including myofibroblast activation and relative extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis such as fibronectin (FN), collagen Ⅰ (COL1) and collagen Ⅳ (COL4) through a dual pharmacological mechanism. Hence, our results show that AZD6738 inhibits fibrotic responses in cultured HConFs in vitro and may become a potential therapeutic option for anti-subconjunctival scarring after trabeculectomy.

Abstract
Siva1, which induces extensive apoptosis, has been well characterized. To elucidate the molecular function of Siva1 in ricefield eel, molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis were performed, and the mRNA expression in the ovary at different developmental stages and ovary tissues exposed to H2O2 and Z-VAD-FMK in vitro were also evaluated. The results indicated that ricefield eel Siva1 was highly conserved and contains three conserved motifs, despite 83 amino acid differences upstream of the initiation codon. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that ricefield eel Siva1 clusters together with the Siva1 protein of the other fish, with high sequence homology with that of Lates calcarifer. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed high siva1 expression levels in the ovary and low expression levels in the liver. The higher mRNA levels of siva1 were detected in the IE and IM, and the lower siva1 mRNA levels were found in the OM, IL, and TE during gonadal development. Additionally, siva1 expression levels in the ovarian tissues were significantly increased at 1 h post incubation (hpi) with H2O2 and then significantly decreased at 2 hpi; however, siva1 expression was upregulated significantly at 4 and 8 hpi, similar to the patterns observed with caspase3, which was used as a molecular marker of apoptosis. Moreover, the siva1 mRNAs were elevated significantly than that in control groups at 1 hpi, but the expression of siva1 was down-regulated dramatically at 2, 4, and 8 hpi, which were similar with that of caspase3 expression profiles after Z-VAD-FMK incubation. What's more, Pearson's correlation coefficients showed strongly positive relationships between siva1 and caspase3. These findings suggest that Siva1 plays an important apoptosis role in gonadal development of ricefield eel.

Mol Med Rep 2020; 22:1558-1566.

Abstract
Siva-1 is a well-known anti-apoptosis protein that serves a role in multiple types of cancer cells. However, whether Siva-1 affects multidrug resistance via the NF-κB pathway in gastric cancer is currently unknown. The present study aimed to determine the possible involvement of Siva-1 in gastric cancer anticancer drug resistance in vitro. A vincristine (VCR)-resistant KATO III/VCR gastric cancer cell line with stable Siva-1 overexpression was established. The protein expression levels of Siva-1, NF-κB, multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1) were detected via western blotting. The effect of Siva-1 overexpression on anticancer drug resistance was assessed by measuring the 50% inhibitory concentration of KATO III/VCR cells to VCR, 5-fluorouracil and doxorubicin. The rate of doxorubicin efflux and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Additionally, colony formation, wound healing and Transwell assays were used to detect the proliferation, migration and invasion of cells, respectively. The results of the current study revealed that the Siva-1-overexpressed KATO III/VCR gastric cancer cells exhibited a significantly decreased sensitivity to VCR, 5-fluorouracil and doxorubicin. The results of flow cytometry revealed that the percentage of apoptotic cells decreased following overexpression of Siva-1. The colony formation assay demonstrated that cell growth and proliferation were significantly promoted by Siva-1 overexpression. Additionally, Siva-1 overexpression increased the migration and invasion of KATO III/VCR cells in vitro. Western blot analysis determined that Siva-1 overexpression increased NF-κB, MDR1 and MRP1 levels. The current study demonstrated that overexpression of Siva-1, which functions as a regulator of MDR1 and MRP1 gene expression in gastric cancer cells via promotion of NF-κB expression, inhibited the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to certain chemotherapies. These data provided novel insight into the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer, and may be of significance for the clinical diagnosis and therapy of patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
Pyruvate kinase M2 is a critical enzyme that regulates cell metabolism and growth under different physiological conditions. In its metabolic role, pyruvate kinase M2 catalyzes the last glycolytic step which converts phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate with the generation of ATP. Beyond this metabolic role in glycolysis, PKM2 regulates gene expression in the nucleus, phosphorylates several essential proteins that regulate major cell signaling pathways, and contribute to the redox homeostasis of cancer cells. The expression of PKM2 has been demonstrated to be significantly elevated in several types of cancer, and the overall inflammatory response. The unusual pattern of PKM2 expression inspired scientists to investigate the unrevealed functions of PKM2 and the therapeutic potential of targeting PKM2 in cancer and other disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to discuss the mechanistic and therapeutic potential of targeting PKM2 with the focus on cancer metabolism, redox homeostasis, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. This review highlights and provides insight into the metabolic and non-metabolic functions of PKM2 and its relevant association with health and disease.

Abstract
The Siva protein, named after the Hindu God of Destruction, plays important roles in apoptosis in various contexts, including downstream of death receptor activation or p53 tumor suppressor engagement. The function of Siva in organismal development and homeostasis, however, has remained uncharacterized. Here, we generate Siva knockout mice to characterize the physiological function of Siva in vivo. Interestingly, we find that Siva deficiency causes early embryonic lethality accompanied by multiple phenotypes, including developmental delay, abnormal neural tube closure, and defective placenta and yolk sac formation. Examination of Siva expression during embryogenesis shows that Siva is expressed in both embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues, including within the mesoderm, which may explain the vascular defects observed in the placenta and yolk sac. The embryonic phenotypes caused by Siva loss are not rescued by p53 deficiency, nor do they resemble those of p53 null embryos, suggesting that the embryonic function of Siva is not related to the p53 pathway. Moreover, loss of the Ripk3 necroptosis protein does not rescue the observed lethality or developmental defects, suggesting that Siva may play a non-apoptotic role in development. Collectively, these studies reveal a key role for Siva in proper embryonic development.

Abstract
Siva-1 is a typical apoptotic protein commonly activated by the p53 tumor suppressor protein and should therefore participate in a barrier against the development of cancer. It has proapoptotic activities in various cell systems. Recent findings suggest that Siva-1 possesses several other apoptosis-independent functions and interacts with many other proteins not directly involved in apoptosis. It harbors the ARF E3 ubiquitin protein ligase activity, a property that is clearly prooncogenic and leads to p53 degradation through the upregulation of the Hdm2 protein level. Surprisingly, recent evidence shows that Siva-1 absence prevents the development of non-small cell lung carcinomas in a mouse model and reveals the oncogenic roles in the same types of human cells, indicating its unique function as an oncogene in the cell context-dependent manner. Herein, we review reported activities of Siva-1 in various experimental settings and comment on its ambiguous function in tumor biology.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common types of gynecologic malignant tumor, with high incidence and high mortality rates. It is difficult to diagnose ovarian cancer early due to the complex structure and function of the ovaries. Siva 1 is a well-known pro-apoptosis protein that functions in multiple types of cancer cells: There are several studies demonstrating that Siva 1 arrests apoptosis and facilitates cancer development in osteosarcoma and non-small cell lung cancer. Whether Siva 1 functions in ovarian cancer remains unknown. In the present study, it was established that Siva 1 was stably overexpressed in ovarian cancer cell lines, and demonstrated that the overexpression of Siva 1 inhibited proliferation, promoted apoptosis and suppressed migration and invasion by facilitating phosphorylation of Stathmin and polymerization of α-tubulin in ovarian cancer cells. These data provide specific novel insights into the molecular mechanism of ovarian cancer, and may be of significance for the clinical diagnosis and therapy of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
M2-type pyruvate kinase (PKM2) contributes to the Warburg effect. However, it remains unknown as to whether PKM2 has an inhibitory effect on mitochondrial function. We report in this work that PKM2 overexpression inhibits the expression of Drp1 and results in the mitochondrial fusion. The ATP production was found to be decreased, the mtDNA copy number elevated and the expression level of electron transport chain (ETC) complex I, III, V depressed in PKM2 overexpressed cells. PKM2 overexpression showed a decreased p53 protein level and a shorter p53 half-life. In contrast, PKM2 knockdown resulted in increased p53 expression and prolonged half-life of p53. PKM2 could directly bind with both p53 and MDM2 and promote MDM2-mediated p53 ubiquitination. The dimeric PKM2 significantly suppressed p53 expression compared with the other PKM2 mutants. The reverse relationship between PKM2 and Drp1 was further confirmed in a large number of clinical samples. Taken together, the present results highlight a new mechanism that link PKM2 to mitochondrial function, based on p53-Drp1 axis down regulation, revealing a novel therapeutic target in patients with abnormal mitochondria.

Abstract
We conducted a meta-analysis of three endometrial cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and two follow-up phases totaling 7,737 endometrial cancer cases and 37,144 controls of European ancestry. Genome-wide imputation and meta-analysis identified five new risk loci of genome-wide significance at likely regulatory regions on chromosomes 13q22.1 (rs11841589, near KLF5), 6q22.31 (rs13328298, in LOC643623 and near HEY2 and NCOA7), 8q24.21 (rs4733613, telomeric to MYC), 15q15.1 (rs937213, in EIF2AK4, near BMF) and 14q32.33 (rs2498796, in AKT1, near SIVA1). We also found a second independent 8q24.21 signal (rs17232730). Functional studies of the 13q22.1 locus showed that rs9600103 (pairwise r(2) = 0.98 with rs11841589) is located in a region of active chromatin that interacts with the KLF5 promoter region. The rs9600103[T] allele that is protective in endometrial cancer suppressed gene expression in vitro, suggesting that regulation of the expression of KLF5, a gene linked to uterine development, is implicated in tumorigenesis. These findings provide enhanced insight into the genetic and biological basis of endometrial cancer.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Although p53 transcriptional activation potential is critical for its ability to suppress cancer, the specific target genes involved in tumor suppression remain unclear. SIVA is a p53 target gene essential for p53-dependent apoptosis, although it can also promote proliferation through inhibition of p53 in some settings. Thus, the role of SIVA in tumorigenesis remains unclear. Here, we seek to define the contribution of SIVA to tumorigenesis by generating Siva conditional knockout mice. Surprisingly, we find that SIVA loss inhibits non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development, suggesting that SIVA facilitates tumorigenesis. Similarly, SIVA knockdown in mouse and human NSCLC cell lines decreases proliferation and transformation. Consistent with this protumorigenic role for SIVA, high-level SIVA expression correlates with reduced NSCLC patient survival. SIVA acts independently of p53 and, instead, stimulates mTOR signaling and metabolism in NSCLC cells. Thus, SIVA enables tumorigenesis in a p53-independent manner, revealing a potential new cancer therapy target. SIGNIFICANCE These findings collectively reveal a novel role for the p53 target gene SIVA both in regulating metabolism and in enabling tumorigenesis, independently of p53. Importantly, these studies further identify SIVA as a new prognostic marker and as a potential target for NSCLC cancer therapy.

Abstract
ANKHD1 is highly expressed in human acute leukemia cells and potentially regulates multiple cellular functions through its ankyrin-repeat domains. In order to identify interaction partners of the ANKHD1 protein and its role in leukemia cells, we performed a yeast two-hybrid system screen and identified SIVA, a cellular protein known to be involved in proapoptotic signaling pathways. The interaction between ANKHD1 and SIVA was confirmed by co-imunoprecipitation assays. Using human leukemia cell models and lentivirus-mediated shRNA approaches, we showed that ANKHD1 and SIVA proteins have opposing effects. While it is known that SIVA silencing promotes Stathmin 1 activation, increased cell migration and xenograft tumor growth, we showed that ANKHD1 silencing leads to Stathmin 1 inactivation, reduced cell migration and xenograft tumor growth, likely through the inhibition of SIVA/Stathmin 1 association. In addition, we observed that ANKHD1 knockdown decreases cell proliferation, without modulating apoptosis of leukemia cells, while SIVA has a proapoptotic function in U937 cells, but does not modulate proliferation in vitro. Results indicate that ANKHD1 binds to SIVA and has an important role in inducing leukemia cell proliferation and migration via the Stathmin 1 pathway. ANKHD1 may be an oncogene and participate in the leukemia cell phenotype.

Abstract
Modulator of multidrug resistance (MDR) gene is a direct transcriptional target of CDX2. However, we still speculate whether CDX2 affects MDR through other ways. In this study, a cisplatin-resistant (SGC7901/DDP) and a 5-fluoro-2, 4(1h,3h)pyrimidinedione-resistant (BGC823/5-FU) gastric cancer cell line with stable overexpression of CDX2 were established. The influence of overexpression of CDX2 on MDR was assessed by measuring IC50 of SGC7901/DDP and BGC823/5-FU cells to cisplatin, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil, rate of doxorubicin efflux, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression detected by flow cytometry. In addition, we determined the in vivo effects of CDX2-overexpression lentiviral vector (LV-CDX2-GFP) on tumor size, and apoptotic cells in tumor tissues were detected by deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results showed that LV-CDX2-GFP led to up-regulation of CDX2 mRNA and protein expression. It significantly inhibited the sensitivity of SGC7901/DDP and BGC823/5-FU cells to cisplatin, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil. Flow cytometry confirmed that the percentage of apoptotic cells decreased after CDX2 up-regulation. This notion was further supported by the observation that up-regulation of CDX2 blocked entry into the M-phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, up-regulation of CDX2 significantly decreased intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin. In molecular studies, quantitative reverse-transcriptase real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting revealed that CDX2 up-regulation could suppress expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and PTEN, and increased the expression of MDR1, MRP, mTOR, HIF-1α.

Overexpression of E2F1 in human gastric carcinoma is involved in anti-cancer drug resistance. BMC Cancer 2014; 14:904.

Abstract
Background Routine chemotherapy often cannot achieve good therapeutic effects because of multidrug resistance (MDR). MDR is frequently caused by the elevated expression of the MDR1 gene encoding P-glycoprotein (P-gp). E2F1 is a frequently overexpressed protein in human tumor cells that increases the activity of the MDR1 promoter, resulting in higher P-gp levels. The upregulation of P-gp might contribute to the survival of tumor cells during chemotherapy. E2F1 confers anticancer drug resistance; however, we speculate whether E2F1 affects MDR through other pathways. This study investigated the possible involvement of E2F1 in anticancer drug resistance of gastric carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. Methods A cisplatin-resistant SGC7901/DDP gastric cancer cell line with stable overexpression of E2F1 was established. Protein expression levels of E2F1, MDR1, MRP, TAp73, GAX, ZEB1, and ZEB2 were detected by western blotting. The influence of overexpression of E2F1 on anticancer drug resistance was assessed by measuring IC50 of SGC7901/DDP cells to cisplatin, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil, as well as the rate of doxorubicin efflux, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression detected by flow cytometry. We determined the in vivo effects of E2F1-overexpression on tumor size in nude mice, and apoptotic cells in tumor tissues were detected by deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling and hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results The SGC7901/DDP gastric cancer cell line stably overexpressing E2F1 exhibited significantly inhibited sensitivity to cisplatin, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil. Flow cytometry confirmed that the percentage of apoptotic cells decreased after E2F1 upregulation, and that upregulation of E2F1 potentiated S phase arrest of the cell cycle. Furthermore, upregulation of E2F1 significantly decreased intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin. Western blot revealed that E2F1 upregulation suppressed expression of GAX, and increased the expression of MDR1, MRP, ZEB1, TAp73, and ZEB2. Conclusions Overexpression of E2F1 promotes the development of MDR in gastric carcinoma, suggesting that E2F1 may represent an efficacious target for gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cutaneous wounds establish endogenous "wound current" upon injury until re-epithelialization is complete. Keratinocyte proliferation, regulated partly by p53, is required for epidermal closure. SIVA1 promotes human double minute 2 homolog (HDM2)-mediated p53 regulation. However, the role of SIVA1 in wound healing is obscure. Here, we report that electrical stimulation (ES) accelerates wound healing by upregulating SIVA1 and its subsequent ability to modulate p53 activities. Cultured donut-shaped human skin explants, subjected to ES, exhibited better epidermal stratification, increased proliferation, and upregulation of gene and protein expression of HDM2/SIVA1, compared with non-ES-treated explants. ES significantly increased in vitro keratinocyte proliferation and phospho-p53-SIVA1 interaction; however, this showed stable expression of phospho-p53, which increased significantly in the absence of SIVA1. Here, HDM2 alone was unable to downregulate nuclear-accumulated phospho-p53, which was evident from decreased proliferation and increased sub-G1 population seen by flow cytometry. Further examination of the epidermis of human cutaneous wounds showed higher p53-SIVA1 coexpression and proliferation 7 days after injury in ES-treated wounds compared with control wounds. In summary, ES-inducible SIVA1 modulates p53 activities in proliferating keratinocytes, and exogenous ES affects p53/HDM2/SIVA1 axis leading to increased proliferation during re-epithelialization. This highlights ES as a potential strategy for enhancing cutaneous repair.

Abstract
Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is a universal DNA damage tolerance mechanism conserved from yeast to mammals. A key event in the regulation of TLS is the monoubiquitination of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Extensive evidence indicates that the RAD6-RAD18 ubiquitin-conjugating/ligase complex specifically monoubiquitinates PCNA and regulates TLS repair. However, the mechanism by which the RAD6-RAD18 complex is targeted to PCNA has remained elusive. In this study, we used an affinity purification approach to isolate the PCNA-containing complex and have identified SIVA1 as a critical regulator of PCNA monoubiquitination. We show that SIVA1 constitutively interacts with PCNA via a highly conserved PCNA-interacting peptide motif. Knockdown of SIVA1 compromised RAD18-dependent PCNA monoubiquitination and Polη focus formation, leading to elevated ultraviolet sensitivity and mutation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SIVA1 interacts with RAD18 and serves as a molecular bridge between RAD18 and PCNA, thus targeting the E3 ligase activity of RAD18 onto PCNA. Collectively, our results provide evidence that the RAD18 E3 ligase requires an accessory protein for binding to its substrate PCNA.

Abstract
Inactivation of the tumor suppressor p53 and/or overexpression of the oncogene MDM2 frequently occur in human cancers, and are associated with poor prognosis, advanced forms of the disease, and chemoresistance. MDM2, the major negative regulator of p53, induces p53 degradation and inactivates its tumor suppressing activity. In turn, p53 regulates MDM2 expression. This MDM2-p53 negative feedback loop has been widely studied and presents an attractive target for cancer therapy, with a few of the inhibitors of this interaction already having advanced into clinical trials. Additionally, there is an increasing interest in understanding MDM2's p53-independent activities in carcinogenesis and cancer progression, which may also have implications for cancer therapy. This review aims to highlight the various roles that the MDM2-p53 interaction plays in cancer, the p53 independent oncogenic activities of MDM2 and the various strategies that may be used to target MDM2 and the MDM2-p53 interaction. We will summarize the major preclinical and clinical evidences of MDM2 inhibitors for human cancer treatment and make suggestions to further improve efficacy and safety of this interesting class of cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Siva-1 induces apoptosis in multiple pathological processes and plays an important role in the suppression of tumor metastasis, protein degradation, and other functions. Although many studies have demonstrated that Siva-1 functions in the cytoplasm, a few have found that Siva-1 can relocate to the nucleus. In this study, we found that the first 33 amino acid residues of Siva-1 are required for its nuclear localization. Further study demonstrated that the green fluorescent protein can be imported into the nucleus after fusion with these 33 amino acid residues. Other Siva-1 regions and domains showed less effect on Siva-1 nuclear localization. By site-mutagenesis of all of these 33 amino acid residues, we found that mutants of the first 1-18 amino acids affected Siva-1 nuclear compartmentalization but could not complete this localization independently. In summary, we demonstrated that the N-terminal 33 amino acid residues were sufficient for Siva-1 nuclear localization, but the mechanism of this translocation needs additional investigation.

Abstract
The tumour suppressor alternative reading frame (ARF) is one of the most frequently mutated proteins in human cancer. It has been well established that ARF is able to stabilize and activate p53 by directly inhibiting Mdm2. ARF-mediated p53 activation in response to oncogenic stress is thought to be an important determinant of protection against cancer. However, little is known regarding the control of ARF in cells. Here, we show that Siva1 is a specific E3 ubiquitin ligase of ARF. Siva1 physically interacts with ARF both in vitro and in vivo. Through direct interaction, Siva1 promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of ARF, which in turn affects the stability of p53. Functionally, Siva1 regulates cell cycle progression and cell proliferation in an ARF/p53-dependent manner. Our results uncover a novel regulatory mechanism for the control of ARF stability, thereby revealing an important function of Siva1 in the regulation of the ARF-Mdm2-p53 pathway.

Abstract
Siva-1, as a p53-inducible gene, has been shown to induce extensive apoptosis in a number of different cell lines. Recent evidence suggests that Siva-1 functions as a part of the auto-regulatory feedback loop that restrains p53 through facilitating Mdm2-mediated p53 degradation. Also, Siva-1 plays an important role in suppressing tumor metastasis. Here we review the current understanding of Siva-1-mediated apoptotic signaling pathway. We also add comments on the p53-Siva-1 feedback loop, the novel function of Siva-1 in suppressing tumor metastasis, and their potential implications.

Abstract
Thromboxane A(2) (TXA(2)) is an important lipid mediator whose function in apoptosis is the subject of conflicting reports. Here, a yeast two-hybrid screen for proteins that interact with the C-terminus of the TXA(2) receptor (TP) identified Siva1 as a new TP-interacting protein. Contradictory evidence suggests pro- and anti-apoptotic roles for Siva1. We show that a cisplatin treatment induces TXA(2) synthesis in HeLa cells. We demonstrate that endogenous TP stimulation promotes cisplatin-induced apoptosis of HeLa cells and that such modulation requires the expression of Siva1, as evidenced by inhibiting its endogenous expression using siRNAs. We reveal that, upon stimulation of TP, degradation of Siva1 is impeded, resulting in an accumulation of the protein, which translocates from the nucleus to the cytosol. Translocation of Siva1 correlates with its reduced interaction with Mdm2 (an inhibitor of p53 signalling), as well as with its increased interaction with TRAF2 and XIAP (known to enhance pro-apoptotic signalling). Our data provide a model that reconciles the pro- and anti-apoptotic roles that were reported for Siva1 and identify a new mechanism for promoting apoptosis by G protein-coupled receptors. Our findings may have implications in the use of cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors during cisplatin chemotherapy and might provide a target to reduce cisplatin toxicity on non-cancerous tissues.

Abstract
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is associated with developmental defects and profound anemia. Mutations in genes encoding a ribosomal protein of the small (e.g., RPS19) or large (e.g., RPL11) ribosomal subunit are found in more than half of these patients. The mutations cause ribosomal haploinsufficiency, which reduces overall translation efficiency of cellular mRNAs. We reduced the expression of Rps19 or Rpl11 in mouse erythroblasts and investigated mRNA polyribosome association, which revealed deregulated translation initiation of specific transcripts. Among these were Bag1, encoding a Hsp70 cochaperone, and Csde1, encoding an RNA-binding protein, and both were expressed at increased levels in erythroblasts. Their translation initiation is cap independent and starts from an internal ribosomal entry site, which appeared sensitive to knockdown of Rps19 or Rpl11. Mouse embryos lacking Bag1 die at embryonic day 13.5, with reduced erythroid colony forming cells in the fetal liver, and low Bag1 expression impairs erythroid differentiation in vitro. Reduced expression of Csde1 impairs the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid blasts. Protein but not mRNA expression of BAG1 and CSDE1 was reduced in erythroblasts cultured from DBA patients. Our data suggest that impaired internal ribosomal entry site-mediated translation of mRNAs expressed at increased levels in erythroblasts contributes to the erythroid phenotype of DBA.

Siva1 suppresses epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis of tumor cells by inhibiting stathmin and stabilizing microtubules. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2011; 108:12851-6.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enables epithelial cells to acquire motility and invasiveness that are characteristic of mesenchymal cells. It plays an important role in development and tumor cell metastasis. However, the mechanisms of EMT and their dysfunction in cancer cells are still not well understood. Here we report that Siva1 interacts with stathmin, a microtubule destabilizer. Siva1 inhibits stathmin's activity directly as well as indirectly through Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II-mediated phosphorylation of stathmin at Ser16. Via the inhibition of stathmin, Siva1 enhances the formation of microtubules and impedes focal adhesion assembly, cell migration, and EMT. Low levels of Siva1 and Ser16-phosphorylated stathmin correlate with high metastatic states of human breast cancer cells. In mouse models, knockdown of Siva1 promotes cancer dissemination, whereas overexpression of Siva1 inhibits it. These results suggest that microtubule dynamics are critical for EMT. Furthermore, they reveal an important role for Siva1 in suppressing cell migration and EMT and indicate that down-regulation of Siva1 may contribute to tumor cell metastasis.

Abstract
Cancer cells consume large quantities of glucose and primarily use glycolysis for ATP production, even in the presence of adequate oxygen. This metabolic signature (aerobic glycolysis or the Warburg effect) enables cancer cells to direct glucose to biosynthesis, supporting their rapid growth and proliferation. However, both causes of the Warburg effect and its connection to biosynthesis are not well understood. Here we show that the tumour suppressor p53, the most frequently mutated gene in human tumours, inhibits the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). Through the PPP, p53 suppresses glucose consumption, NADPH production and biosynthesis. The p53 protein binds to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the PPP, and prevents the formation of the active dimer. Tumour-associated p53 mutants lack the G6PD-inhibitory activity. Therefore, enhanced PPP glucose flux due to p53 inactivation may increase glucose consumption and direct glucose towards biosynthesis in tumour cells.

Abstract
The functions of p53 most highly associated with the well-studied tumor suppressor are its abilities to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to cellular stresses. Recent progress underscores that p53 is a multi-functional protein with activities that range beyond tumor suppression to normal homeostasis, metabolism, fertility and differentiation. A unifying theme of these studies is that p53 is first and foremost a transcription factor; and control of p53 protein stability determines its ability to carry out this task. There are an expanding number of E3-ubiquitin ligase proteins that target p53 for ubiquitin tagging and protein degradation. This review discusses these many effectors of p53 protein degradation, and our task is to provide some level of understanding as to their differences and their similarities. Further, we propose how some degree of specialization may be assigned to the E3-ligases, in their navigation toward a common goal of regulating p53 protein levels, and emphasize that better understanding of the mechanisms involved in E3-ligase functions is needed to further their potential as therapeutic targets.
