J Formos Med Assoc 2023:S0929-6646(22)00477-6. [PMID: 36739231 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2022.12.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of ZC3H13 on the growth of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS Firstly, we used qRT-PCR and Western blot to compare the difference in the expression of ZC3H13 between normal thyroid epithelial cells and PTC cell lines. Then, ZC3H13 overexpression/knockout thyroid cancer cells were constructed by lentivirus transfection, and the effects of overexpression of ZC3H13 on the proliferation, migration and invasion of PTC cells were detected by CCK8 and transwell experiments. Lastly, MeRIP-qPCR, RIP and o Actinomycin D were used to verify that ZC3H13 regulated the expression of downstream target gene IQGAP1 through m6A modification. RESULTS ZC3H13 expression was decreased in PTC cell lines BCPAP, KTC-1, k1, HTH83, and TPC-1. Proliferation, invasion, and migration of PTC cells were inhibited by overexpressed ZC3H13 but increased by knockdown of ZC3H13. IQGAP1 expression was suppressed by ZC3H13 overexpression but enhanced by ZC3H13 knockdown. In ZC3H13-overexpressed PTC cells, the m6A level of IQGAP1 mRNA was increased, and the IQGAP1 mRNA expression was decreased with the increasing time of Actinomycin D treatment. YTHDF2 enriched more IQGAP1 mRNA than IgG and knockdown of YTHDF2 reversed the effect of ZC3H13 overexpression on IQGAP1 mRNA stability. The xenograft tumor experiment in nude mice confirmed that the overexpression of ZC3H13 inhibited tumor growth, while overexpression of IQGAP1 could reverse the inhibitory effect of ZC3H13 overexpression on tumor growth. CONCLUSION ZC3H13 mediates IQGAP1 mRNA degradation by promoting m6A modification of IQGAP1 mRNA, this provides a prospective therapeutic target for PTC.

[PMID: 36098958 PMCID: PMC9716259 DOI: 10.1158/2159-8290.cd-22-0603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Melanoma is a cancer of melanocytes, with multiple subtypes based on body site location. Cutaneous melanoma is associated with skin exposed to ultraviolet radiation; uveal melanoma occurs in the eyes; mucosal melanoma occurs in internal mucous membranes; and acral melanoma occurs on the palms, soles, and nail beds. Here, we present the largest whole-genome sequencing study of melanoma to date, with 570 tumors profiled, as well as methylation and RNA sequencing for subsets of tumors. Uveal melanoma is genomically distinct from other melanoma subtypes, harboring the lowest tumor mutation burden and with significantly mutated genes in the G-protein signaling pathway. Most cutaneous, acral, and mucosal melanomas share alterations in components of the MAPK, PI3K, p53, p16, and telomere pathways. However, the mechanism by which these pathways are activated or inactivated varies between melanoma subtypes. Additionally, we identify potential novel germline predisposition genes for some of the less common melanoma subtypes. SIGNIFICANCE This is the largest whole-genome analysis of melanoma to date, comprehensively comparing the genomics of the four major melanoma subtypes. This study highlights both similarities and differences between the subtypes, providing insights into the etiology and biology of melanoma. This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 2711.

Yankaskas CL, Bera K, Stoletov K, Serra SA, Carrillo-Garcia J, Tuntithavornwat S, Mistriotis P, Lewis JD, Valverde MA, Konstantopoulos K. The fluid shear stress sensor TRPM7 regulates tumor cell intravasation. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2021; 7:7/28/eabh3457. [PMID: 34244134 PMCID: PMC8270498 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abh3457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
Tumor cell intravasation preferentially occurs in regions of low fluid shear because high shear is detrimental to tumor cells. Here, we describe a molecular mechanism by which cells avoid high shear during intravasation. The transition from migration to intravasation was modeled using a microfluidic device where cells migrating inside longitudinal tissue-like microchannels encounter an orthogonal channel in which fluid flow induces physiological shear stresses. This approach was complemented with intravital microscopy, patch-clamp, and signal transduction imaging techniques. Fluid shear-induced activation of the transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channel promotes extracellular calcium influx, which then activates RhoA/myosin-II and calmodulin/IQGAP1/Cdc42 pathways to coordinate reversal of migration direction, thereby avoiding shear stress. Cells displaying higher shear sensitivity due to higher TRPM7 activity levels intravasate less efficiently and establish less invasive metastatic lesions. This study provides a mechanistic interpretation for the role of shear stress and its sensor, TRPM7, in tumor cell intravasation.
