Abstract
Aging leads to an accumulation of cellular mutations and damage, increasing the risk of senescence, apoptosis, and malignant transformation. Cellular senescence, which is pivotal in aging, acts as both a guard against cellular transformation and as a check against cancer progression. It is marked by stable cell cycle arrest, widespread macromolecular changes, a pro-inflammatory profile, and altered gene expression. However, it remains to be determined whether these differing subsets of senescent cells result from unique intrinsic programs or are influenced by their environmental contexts. Multiple transcription regulators and chromatin modifiers contribute to these alterations. Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 1 (SATB1) stands out as a crucial regulator in this process, orchestrating gene expression by structuring chromatin into loop domains and anchoring DNA elements. This review provides an overview of cellular senescence and delves into the role of SATB1 in senescence-related diseases. It highlights SATB1's potential in developing antiaging and anticancer strategies, potentially contributing to improved quality of life and addressing aging-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulation of histone deacetylases has been linked to diverse cancers. HDAC5 is a histone deacetylase belonging to Class IIa family of histone deacetylases. Limited substrate repertoire restricts the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying its role in tumorigenesis. METHODS We employed a biochemical screen to identify SATB1 as HDAC5-interacting protein. Coimmunoprecipitation and deacetylation assay were performed to validate SATB1 as a HDAC5 substrate. Proliferation, migration assay and xenograft studies were performed to determine the effect of HDAC5-SATB1 interaction on tumorigenesis. RESULTS Here we report that HDAC5 binds to and deacetylates SATB1 at the conserved lysine 411 residue. Furthermore, dynamic regulation of acetylation at this site is determined by TIP60 acetyltransferase. We also established that HDAC5-mediated deacetylation is critical for SATB1-dependent downregulation of key tumor suppressor genes. Deacetylated SATB1 also represses SDHA-induced epigenetic remodeling and anti-proliferative transcriptional program. Thus, SATB1 spurs malignant phenotype in a HDAC5-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS Our study highlights the pivotal role of HDAC5 in tumorigenesis. Our findings provide key insights into molecular mechanisms underlying SATB1 promoted tumor growth and metastasis.

J Cancer 2021; 12:5106-5113. [PMID: 34335927 PMCID: PMC8317520 DOI: 10.7150/jca.51141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the female reproductive system, while the efficacy of routine screening strategy is unsatisfied. New molecular tests need to be developed. miRNAs participate in many pathologic processes, and circulating miRNAs are promising non-invasive biomarkers in tumors. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the circulating miRNAs associated with both cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and establish a non-invasive classifier for cervical lesions using circulating miRNAs. Methods: This study consisted of 5 steps: miRNAs screening, miRNAs validation, classifier establishment, independent validation and in silico analyses. Three cohorts were included in our study: In screening stage, 24 samples including 14 cases and 10 controls were retrieved; In validation stage, 380 samples including 200 cases and 180 controls were recruited; In independent validation stage, 47 samples comprising 26 cases and 21 controls were included. miRNAs were quantified by RT-qPCR. A classifier was built with random forest algorithm using validation samples and selected miRNAs, which were then validated in an independent cohort. To explore the function of selected miRNAs, in silico analyses were performed. Target genes of selected miRNAs were predicted by the overlap of three online tools. Enrichment analyses were executed with predicted target genes. Differential analysis of target genes was carried out with open access expression assay datasets of cervical tissues. Results: 6 miRNAs (hsa-miR-26b-5p, hsa-miR-146b-5p, hsa-miR-191-5p, hsa-miR-484, hsa-miR-574-3p, hsa-miR-625-3p) were screened out from 754 miRNAs. They were associated with cervical lesions and were selected to establish a classifier. The accuracy of the classifier were 0.7218 (0.7117, 0.7319) in validation samples, which was 0.7021 in the independent cohort. 958 target genes were predicted and enriched in 23 pathways (MAPK, human papillomavirus infection and Wnt signaling pathway, etc.). 55 genes were identified as the most likely target genes by differential analysis. Conclusion: The 6 circulating miRNAs were related to cervical lesions and could serve as non-invasive biomarkers.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) features chronic, non-infectious inflammation of the colon. The risk of ulcerative colitis‑associated neoplasia (UCAN) increases in direct association with the duration of this disease. Whether miRNAs exert a regulatory effect on the pathogenesis of UCAN has remained to be elucidated. In the present study, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) were identified using bioinformatics analysis of Gene Expression Omnibus datasets. Enrichment analyses were performed to determine the function of the DEGs. The target genes of key miRNAs were predicted using miRWalk. Validation of DEGs and miRNAs in patients with UC, UC with low‑grade dysplasia and UC with high‑grade dysplasia (UC‑HGD) was performed using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. A total of 38 differentially expressed miRNAs and 307 mRNAs were identified from the profiles and miR‑31 was validated as being overexpressed in UCAN tissues, particularly in the UC‑HGD samples. Furthermore, special AT‑rich DNA‑binding protein 2 (SATB2) was validated as a target gene of miR‑31 and SATB2 expression was negatively correlated with miR‑31 expression. Therefore, miR‑31 is upregulated in UCAN and it may promote tumorigenesis through downregulation of SATB2.

Abstract
The SATB1 protein has been the focus of two recent studies of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Fredholm et al. observed a stage-related decrease of SATB1 expression in epidermotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. SATB1 was negatively regulated by STAT5 through microRNA-155, which in turn triggered enhanced expression of T helper type 2 cytokines such as IL-5 and IL-9. In parallel, Sun et al. found that SATB1 expression was up-regulated by promoter demethylation in a subset of cutaneous anaplastic lymphoma and was associated with T helper type 17 polarization in patients with better therapeutic responses.

Abstract
Skin undergoes continuous renewal throughout an individual’s lifetime relying on stem cell functionality. However, a decline of the skin regenerative potential occurs with age. The accumulation of senescent cells over time probably reduces tissue regeneration and contributes to skin aging. Keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts undergo senescence in response to several intrinsic or extrinsic stresses, including telomere shortening, overproduction of reactive oxygen species, diet, and sunlight exposure. Epigenetic mechanisms directly regulate skin homeostasis and regeneration, but they also mark cell senescence and the natural and pathological aging processes. Progeroid syndromes represent a group of clinical and genetically heterogeneous pathologies characterized by the accelerated aging of various tissues and organs, including skin. Skin cells from progeroid patients display molecular hallmarks that mimic those associated with naturally occurring aging. Thus, investigations on progeroid syndromes strongly contribute to disclose the causal mechanisms that underlie the aging process. In the present review, we discuss the role of epigenetic pathways in skin cell regulation during physiologic and premature aging.

Abstract
SATB (Special AT-rich binding protein) family proteins have emerged as key regulators that integrate higher-order chromatin organization with the regulation of gene expression. Studies over the past decade have elucidated the specific roles of SATB1 and SATB2, two closely related members of this family, in cancer progression. SATB family chromatin organizers play diverse and important roles in regulating the dynamic equilibrium of apoptosis, cell invasion, metastasis, proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune modulation. This review highlights cellular and molecular events governed by SATB1 influencing the structural organization of chromatin and interacting with several co-activators and co-repressors of transcription towards tumor progression. SATB1 expression across tumor cell types generates cellular and molecular heterogeneity culminating in tumor relapse and metastasis. SATB1 exhibits dynamic expression within intratumoral cell types regulated by the tumor microenvironment, which culminates towards tumor progression. Recent studies suggested that cell-specific expression of SATB1 across tumor recruited dendritic cells (DC), cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), T regulatory cells (Tregs) and tumor epithelial cells along with tumor microenvironment act as primary determinants of tumor progression and tumor inflammation. In contrast, SATB2 is differentially expressed in an array of cancer types and is involved in tumorigenesis. Survival analysis for patients across an array of cancer types correlated with expression of SATB family chromatin organizers suggested tissue-specific expression of SATB1 and SATB2 contributing to disease prognosis. In this context, it is pertinent to understand molecular players, cellular pathways, genetic and epigenetic mechanisms governed by cell types within tumors regulated by SATB proteins. We propose that patient survival analysis based on the expression profile of SATB chromatin organizers would facilitate their unequivocal establishment as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background Gastrointestinal neoplasm (GIN) is the most common neoplasm in China. The global chromatin organizer SATB1 (special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1) is aberrantly expressed in multiple human neoplasms. We conducted this meta-analysis to investigate whether the invasion and metastasis of GIN correlates with SATB1 levels in tumor tissues in Chinese patients. Materials and Methods Eligible studies were identified through multiple search strategies in the databases PubMed, Embase, Medline, CNKI, and WANFANG, and the relevant clinicopathological data were extracted. Data were pooled using the Mantel-Haenszel fixed-effects or DerSimonian-Laid random-effects model. Results Fourteen studies consisting of 1622 patients were included. There were 3, 3, and 8 studies that evaluated esophageal, gastric, and colorectal cancers, respectively. The overall mean percentage of patients with elevated SATB1 levels was 47.84%. Among patients with GIN, SATB1 overexpression was associated with depth of invasion (T stage: RR 1.27, 95% CI 1.18–1.36, P = 0.000), regional lymph node metastasis (N stage: RR 1.51, 95% CI 1.22–1.87, P = 0.000), and distant metastasis (M stage: RR 2.54, 95% CI 1.46–4.41, P = 0.001). The tumor type most closely linked with invasion and metastasis in GIN was gastric cancer (RR for T stage: 1.64, RR for N stage: 1.68, RR for M stage: 3.15). Conclusions invasion and metastasis of GIN in Chinese patients correlates with SATB1 overexpression in tumor tissues, most profoundly in gastric cancer.

Abstract
The epidermis is a self-renewing tissue. The balance between proliferation and differentiation processes is tightly regulated to ensure the maintenance of the stem cell (SC) population in the epidermis during life. Aging and cancer may be considered related endpoints of accumulating damages within epidermal self-renewing compartment. p16INK4a is a potent inhibitor of the G1/S-phase transition of the cell cycle. p16INK4a governs the processes of SC self-renewal in several tissues and its deregulation may result in aging or tumor development. Keratinocytes are equipped with several epigenetic enzymes and transcription factors that shape the gene expression signatures of different epidermal layers and allow dynamic and coordinated expression changes to finely balance keratinocyte self-renewal and differentiation. These factors converge their activity in the basal layer to repress p16INK4a expression, protecting cells from senescence, and preserving epidermal homeostasis and regeneration. Several stress stimuli may activate p16INK4a expression that orchestrates cell cycle exit and senescence response. In the present review, we discuss the role of p16INK4a regulators in human epidermal SC self-renewal, aging and cancer.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver diseases, but its involvement in hepatic fibrogenesis remains unclear. Special AT-rich binding protein 1 (SATB1) has been implicated in reprogramming chromatin organization and transcription profiles in many cancers and non-cancer-related conditions. We found that hepatic SATB1 expression was significantly up-regulated in fibrotic tissues from chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients and HBV transgenic (HBV-Tg) mouse model. Knockdown of SATB1 in the liver significantly alleviated CCl4-induced fibrosis in HBV-Tg mouse model. Moreover, we suggested HBV encoded x protein (HBx) induced SATB1 expression through activation of JNK and ERK pathways. Enforced expression of SATB1 in hepatocytes promoted the activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) by secretion of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and platelet derived growth factor-A (PDGF-AA). Our findings demonstrated that HBx upregulated hepatic SATB1 which exerted pro-fibrotic effects by paracrine activation of stellate cells in HBV-related fibrosis.

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.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a worldwide clinical issue. Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is the central event during liver fibrosis. We investigated the role of SATB1 in HSC activation and liver fibrogenesis. The results show that SATB1 expression is reduced during HSC activation. Additionally, SATB1 inhibits HSC activation, proliferation, migration, and collagen synthesis. Furthermore, CTGF, a pro-fibrotic agent, is also significantly inhibited by SATB1 through the Ras/Raf-1/MEK/ERK/Ets-1 pathway. In vivo, SATB1 deactivates HSCs and attenuates fibrosis in TAA-induced fibrotic rat livers. These data indicate that SATB1 plays an important role in HSC activation and liver fibrosis.

SATB1 overexpression promotes malignant T-cell proliferation in cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disease by repressing p21. Blood 2014; 123:3452-61.

Abstract
Cutaneous CD30(+) lymphoproliferative disease (CD30(+)LPD), characterized by the presence of CD30(+) anaplastic large T cells, comprises the second most common group of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). However, little is known about the pathobiology of the CD30(+) lymphoma cells, as well as the mechanisms of disease progression. Here we report that Special AT-rich region binding protein 1 (SATB1), a thymocyte specific chromatin organizer, is over-expressed in CD30(+) lymphoma cells in most CD30(+)LPDs, and its expression is upregulated during disease progression. Our findings show that SATB1 silencing in CD30(+)LPD cells leads to G1 cell cycle arrest mediated by p21 activation. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, luciferase assays, and mutational analysis, we demonstrate that SATB1 directly regulates the transcription of p21 in a p53-independent manner. Moreover, DNA demethylation on a specific CpG-rich region of the SATB1 promoter is associated with the upregulation of SATB1 during disease progression. These experiments define a novel SATB1-p21 pathway in malignant CD30(+) T lymphocytes, which provides novel molecular insights into the pathogenesis of CD30(+)LPDs and possibly leads to new therapies.

Abstract
Special AT rich sequence binding protein 1 (SATB1) is a unique global regulatory factor. Epigenetic modifications and dynamic changes in chromatin organization mediated by SATB1 have recently been shown to play an important role in regulating cancer-promoting genes. The role of SATB1 in promoting metastasis was discovered in breast carcinoma cells in 2008. In recent years, high expression of SATB1 has been found in digestive system neoplasms including oral cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, gallbladder cancer and colorectal cancer. SATB1 is related closely to proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. Digestive system neoplasms are the most common malignant tumor in China, and control of cancer metastasis has been the research focus. A better understanding of the role of SATB1 will contribute to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation in malignant tumors. In this review, we will summarize recent progress in understanding the role of SATB1 in digestive system neoplasms.
