Abstract
Metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer-related deaths among the patients. The transformation of epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells with molecular alterations can occur during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The EMT mechanism accelerates the cancer metastasis and drug resistance ability in human cancers. Among the different regulators of EMT, Wnt/β-catenin axis has been emerged as a versatile modulator. Wnt is in active form in physiological condition due to the function of GSK-3β that destructs β-catenin, while ligand-receptor interaction impairs GSK-3β function to increase β-catenin stability and promote its nuclear transfer. Regarding the oncogenic function of Wnt/β-catenin, its upregulation occurs in human cancers and it can accelerate EMT-mediated metastasis and drug resistance. The stimulation of Wnt by binding Wnt ligands into Frizzled receptors can enhance β-catenin accumulation in cytoplasm that stimulates EMT and related genes upon nuclear translocation. Wnt/β-catenin/EMT axis has been implicated in augmenting metastasis of both solid and hematological tumors. The Wnt/EMT-mediated cancer metastasis promotes the malignant behavior of tumor cells, causing therapy resistance. The Wnt/β-catenin/EMT axis can be modulated by upstream mediators in which non-coding RNAs are main regulators. Moreover, pharmacological intervention, mainly using phytochemicals, suppresses Wnt/EMT axis in metastasis suppression.

Biomedicines 2023; 11:3229. [PMID: 38137450 PMCID: PMC10740682 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11123229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a lifelong inflammatory immune mediated disorder, encompassing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC); however, the cause and specific pathogenesis of IBD is yet incompletely understood. Multiple cytokines produced by different immune cell types results in complex functional networks that constitute a highly regulated messaging network of signaling pathways. Applying biological mechanisms underlying IBD at the single omic level, technologies and genetic engineering enable the quantification of the pattern of released cytokines and new insights into the cytokine landscape of IBD. We focus on the existing literature dealing with the biology of pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines and interactions that facilitate cell-based modulation of the immune system for IBD inflammation. We summarize the main roles of substantial cytokines in IBD related to homeostatic tissue functions and the remodeling of cytokine networks in IBD, which may be specifically valuable for successful cytokine-targeted therapies via marketed products. Cytokines and their receptors are validated targets for multiple therapeutic areas, we review the current strategies for therapeutic intervention and developing cytokine-targeted therapies. New biologics have shown efficacy in the last few decades for the management of IBD; unfortunately, many patients are nonresponsive or develop therapy resistance over time, creating a need for novel therapeutics. Thus, the treatment options for IBD beyond the immune-modifying anti-TNF agents or combination therapies are expanding rapidly. Further studies are needed to fully understand the immune response, networks of cytokines, and the direct pathogenetic relevance regarding individually tailored, safe and efficient targeted-biotherapeutics.

Hepatocyte TIPE2 is a fasting-induced Raf-1 inactivator that drives hepatic gluconeogenesis to maintain glucose homeostasis. Metabolism 2023; 148:155690. [PMID: 37717724 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2023.155690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The liver regulates metabolic balance during fasting-feeding cycle. Hepatic adaptation to fasting is precisely modulated on multiple levels. Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) is a negative regulator of immunity that reduces several liver pathologies, but its physiological roles in hepatic metabolism are largely unknown. METHODS TIPE2 expression was examined in mouse liver during fasting-feeding cycle. TIPE2-knockout mice, liver-specific TIPE2-knockout mice, liver-specific TIPE2-overexpressed mice were examined for fasting blood glucose and pyruvate tolerance test. Primary hepatocytes or liver tissues from these mice were evaluated for glucose production, lipid accumulation, gene expression and regulatory pathways. TIPE2 interaction with Raf-1 and TIPE2 transcription regulated by PPAR-α were examined using gene overexpression or knockdown, co-immunoprecipitation, western blot, luciferase reporter assay and DNA-protein binding assay. RESULTS TIPE2 expression was upregulated in fasted mouse liver and starved hepatocytes, which was positively correlated with gluconeogenic genes. Liver-specific TIPE2 deficiency impaired blood glucose homeostasis and gluconeogenic capacity in mice upon fasting, while liver-specific TIPE2 overexpression elevated fasting blood glucose and hepatic gluconeogenesis in mice. In primary hepatocytes upon starvation, TIPE2 interacted with Raf-1 to accelerate its ubiquitination and degradation, resulting in ERK deactivation and FOXO1 maintenance to sustain gluconeogenesis. During prolonged fasting, hepatic TIPE2 deficiency caused aberrant activation of ERK-mTORC1 axis that increased hepatic lipid accumulation via lipogenesis. In hepatocytes upon starvation, PPAR-α bound with TIPE2 promoter and triggered its transcriptional expression. CONCLUSIONS Hepatocyte TIPE2 is a PPAR-α-induced Raf-1 inactivator that sustains hepatic gluconeogenesis and prevents excessive hepatic lipid accumulation, playing beneficial roles in hepatocyte adaptation to fasting.

Abstract
Kidney fibrosis, characterized by the activation and expansion of the matrix-producing fibroblasts, is the common outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD). While fibroblast proliferation is well studied in CKD, little is known about the regulation and mechanism of fibroblast depletion. Here, we show that exosomes derived from stressed/injured tubules play a pivotal role in dictating fibroblast apoptosis and fate. When human kidney tubular cells (HK-2) were stimulated with TGF-β1, they produced and released increased amounts of exosomes (TGFβ-Exo), which prevented renal interstitial fibroblasts from apoptosis. In vivo, injections of TGFβ-Exo promoted renal fibroblast survival, whereas blockade of exosome secretion accelerated fibroblast apoptosis in obstructive nephropathy. Proteomics profiling identified the tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) as a key component enriched in TGFβ-Exo. TNFAIP8 was induced in renal tubular epithelium and enriched in the exosomes from fibrotic kidneys. Knockdown of TNFAIP8 in tubular cells abolished the ability of TGFβ-Exo to prevent fibroblast apoptosis. In vivo, gain- or loss- of TNFAIP8 prevented or aggravated renal fibroblast apoptosis after obstructive injury. Mechanistically, exosomal-TNFAIP8 promoted p53 ubiquitination leading to its degradation, thereby inhibiting fibroblasts apoptosis and inducing their proliferation. Collectively, these results indicate that tubule-derived exosomes play a critical role in controlling the size of fibroblast population during renal fibrogenesis through shuttling TNFAIP8 to block p53 signaling. Strategies to target exosomes may be effective strategies for the therapy of fibrotic CKD.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) family, which consists of TNFAIP8 (TIPE), TNFAIP8L1 (TIPE1), TNFAIP8L2 (TIPE2) and TNFAIP8L3 (TIPE3), has recently emerged as a regulatory factor involved in immune response and tumorigenesis. Among its members, TIPE2 acts as a negative regulator of both innate and adaptive immunity, playing a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis by negatively regulating T cell receptor (TCR) and toll-like receptor (TLR) signal transduction. Immune homeostasis is an indispensable characteristic of the immune system, which prevents harmful inflammatory reactions and ensures the proper functioning of the body. A large number of studies have shown that abnormal TIPE2 expression exists in a variety of inflammation-related diseases such as asthma, colitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the importance of comprehending its function for the prevention and treatment of immune-related conditions. This review aims to provide an overview of the in vivo distribution and expression of TIPE2, its regulatory role in central and peripheral immune-related diseases, and the underlying mechanisms that govern its function in the inflammatory response. By delving into these aspects, a deeper understanding of the role and functionality of TIPE2 in inflammatory responses can be achieved.

Abstract
As a member of the tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family, TIPE1 has been found to be associated with many cellular signaling pathways in regulating apoptosis, autophagy, and tumorigenesis. However, the position of TIPE1 in the signaling network remains elusive. Here we present the crystal structure of zebrafish TIPE1 in complex with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) at a resolution of 1.38 Å. By comparison with structures of other three TIPE family proteins, a universal phospholipid-binding mode was proposed. Namely, the hydrophobic cavity binds to fatty acid tails, while 'X-R-R' triad nearby the entrance of cavity recognizes the phosphate group head. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we further elaborated the mechanism of how the lysine-rich N-terminal domain assisting TIPE1 to favorably bind to phosphatidylinositol (PI). Beside small molecule substrate, we identified Gαi3 as a direct-binding partner of TIPE1 using GST pull-down assay and size-exclusion chromatography. Analyses of key-residue mutations and predicted complex structure revealed that the binding mode of TIPE1 to Gαi3 could be non-canonical. In summary, our findings narrowed down TIPE1's position in Gαi3-related and PI-inducing signaling pathways.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
TIPE1 is a gene in the TNFAIP8 family involved in immune regulation and tumorigenesis. Although previous studies demonstrated that TIPE1 might play different roles in different tumors, its expression and role in lymphoma are unclear. Here we observed TIPE1 expression in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Two microarrays containing 96 tumor tissue specimens were obtained from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University biobank. All specimens came from patients with a clear pathological diagnosis of lymphoma, lymphadenitis, breast cancer, or bladder cancer, and we performed immunohistochemical experiments on these tissue specimens. GEPIA and TIMER platforms were used for bioinformatic analyses. We found higher TIPE1 expression in tumor tissues from patients with lymphoma compared with those with lymphadenitis, breast cancer, or bladder cancer. The GEPIA and TIMER analyses revealed that TIPE1 was upregulated in DLBCL tissues but not in invasive breast carcinoma, urothelial bladder carcinoma, or liver hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. TIPE1 expression was irrelevant for pathological stage, overall survival, or DLBCL immune infiltration levels. However, TIPE1 expression was correlated with MKI67 expression in DLBCL. Overall, TIPE1’s high expression levels in DLBCL may contribute to tumor growth in DLBCL.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8 or TIPE) is a member of the TNFAIP8 family. While TIPE was broadly considered to be pro-cancerous, its precise roles in carcinogenesis especially those of the intestinal tract are not clear. Here, we show that genetic deletion of TIPE in mice exacerbated chemical-induced colitis and colitis-associated colon cancer. Loss of TIPE exacerbated inflammatory responses and inflammation-associated dysbiosis, leading to the activation of NF-κB and STAT3, and it also accelerated dysplasia, DNA damage and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells. We further show that colon microbiota were essential for increased tumor growth and progression in Tipe−/− mice. The tumor suppressive function of TIPE originated primarily from the non-hematopoietic compartment. Importantly, TIPE was downregulated in human colorectal cancers, and patients with low levels of Tipe mRNA were associated with reduced survival. These results indicate that TIPE serves as an important modulator of colitis and colitis-associated colon cancer.

Abstract
Th17 cells induced immunosuppression plays a vital role in sepsis. As a member of the tumor necrosis factor α induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) family, TNFAIP8 is associated with different physiopathological conditions with immunological responses. However, its potential roles in regulating Th17 cells after the acute insult have not been fully elucidated. In this study, sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in the male adult C57BL/6 mice. The stable TNFAIP8 knockdown (KD) Th17 cells were established by infecting with lentivirus carrying TNFAIP8-specific shRNA. CCK-8 assay was conducted to evaluate Th17 cell proliferation, and Annexin V/7-AAD assay was applied for apoptosis measurement by flow cytometry. The alterations of p53/ p21/ MDM2 pathway were assessed by Western blot. We observed that a high TNFAIP8 expression level was related to acute injury in septic mice. TNFAIP8 silencing suppressed Th17 cell proliferation and cytokine production in vivo and in vitro. In addition, TNFAIP8 KD increased Th17 cell apoptosis in septic mice. Furthermore, TNFAIP8 seems to affect the immune function of Th17 cells by regulating p53/ p21/ MDM2 signaling processes. We found that TNFAIP8 KD caused the up-regulation of P21 and MDM2, and also elevated p53 protein level during sepsis. Pharmacological inhibition of p53 partially rescued cell proliferation and apoptotic effects of TNFAIP8 KD. In summary, our work suggests that TNFAIP8 modulates the survival and immune function of Th17 cells after acute insult, which was possibly mediated through the p53/ p21/ MDM2 pathway.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α–induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is a member of the TIPE/TNFAIP8 family which is associated with inflammation and tumorigenesis. The potential role of TNFAIP8 in a tumor immune microenvironment in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) has not yet been investigated. The TNFAIP8 expression was evaluated via gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA). We also evaluated the influence of TNFAIP8 on overall survival via GEPIA and PrognoScan. After GO and KEGG pathway analyses, the correlation between the TNFAIP8 expression level and immune cells or gene markers of the immune infiltration level was explored by R-language. The result showed the TNFAIP8 expression was significantly reduced in SKCM in comparison with normal control. In SKCM, the TNFAIP8 expression in higher levels was associated with the better overall survival. The high expression of TNFAIP8 was positively correlated with the immune score and promoted immune cell infiltration in SKCM patients. TNFAIP8 can be a positive prognosis marker or new immunotherapy target in SKCM.

Tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family is differentially expressed in oral cancer and regulates tumorigenesis through Akt/mTOR/STAT3 signaling cascade. Life Sci 2021; 287:120118. [PMID: 34740574 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2021.120118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Highest incidence of oral cancer is reported in India with reduced survival rate in the advanced stages due to lack of effective biomarkers. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel biomarkers for the better management of this disease. In the current study, TNFAIP8/TIPE protein family comprising of four proteins is explored for its role in oral cancer. METHODS IHC analysis of oral cancer TMA and Western blot analysis of tobacco treated oral cancer cells were performed to determine the differential expression of TIPE proteins in oral cancer. Further, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing was done to generate TIPE proteins' knockouts and MTT, colony formation, wound healing, cell cycle and Western blot analysis were performed to determine the effect of gene knockouts on various cancer hallmarks and the associated molecular targets of TIPE proteins. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION IHC results revealed that expression of TIPE, TIPE2 and TIPE3 were upregulated and TIPE1 was downregulated in oral cancer tissues compared to normal tissues. Similar results were observed upon treating oral cancer cells with tobacco carcinogens. Furthermore, knockout of TIPE or TIPE2 or TIPE3 significantly reduced the survival, proliferation, colony formation and migration of oral cancer cells whereas knockout of TIPE1 had an opposite effect. Further, TIPE, TIPE2 and TIPE3 knockout-mediated inhibition of proliferation was associated with inhibition of cell cycle progression at S or G2/M phases, and downregulation of proteins involved in cancer progression. We found that TIPE, TIPE1 and TIPE2 proteins regulate oral cancer progression through modulation of Akt/mTOR signaling cascade, whereas TIPE3 acts through an Akt-independent mTOR/STAT3 pathway. CONCLUSION Collectively, the TIPE proteins were proved to play significant roles in the progression of oral cancer thus warranting research and clinic attention for their therapeutic and prognostic values and raising the importance of specific targeting of TIPE proteins in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis accounts for nearly 90% of all cancer deaths. Metastatic cancer progression requires both cancer cell migration to the site of the metastasis and subsequent proliferation after colonization. However, it has long been recognized that cancer cell migration and proliferation can be uncoupled; but the mechanism underlying this paradox is not well understood. Here we report that TNFAIP8 (tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8), a "professional" transfer protein of phosphoinositide second messengers, promotes cancer cell migration or metastasis but inhibits its proliferation or cancer growth. TNFAIP8-deficient mice developed larger tumors, but TNFAIP8-deficient tumor cells completely lost their ability to migrate toward chemoattractants and were defective in colonizing lung tissues as compared to wild-type counterparts. Mechanistically, TNFAIP8 served as a cellular "pilot" of tumor cell migration by locally amplifying PI3K-AKT and Rac signals on the cell membrane facing chemoattractant; at the same time, TNFAIP8 also acted as a global inhibitor of tumor cell growth and proliferation by regulating Hippo signaling pathway. These findings help explain the migration-proliferation paradox of cancer cells that characterizes many cancers.

TIPE1 Suppresses Growth and Metastasis of Ovarian Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2021; 2021:5538911.

Abstract
TIPE1, a newly identified member in TIPE (TNFAIP8) family, plays an important role in tumorigenesis and immune regulation, but its role in ovarian cancer, especially in tumor metastasis, remains unknown. In the current study, we aimed to reveal the protein expression spectrum of TIPE1 in normal human tissues and explored its relationship with metastasis in ovarian cancer. The results of IHC staining showed that TIPE1 protein was not only detected in cytoplasm in most human tissues but also expressed in both cytoplasm and nucleus in squamous epithelium and some epithelial-derived cells with secretory functions, such as esophagus, cervix uteri and ovary, and thyroid gland. Moreover, TIPE1 protein was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues compared with that in the paracancerous. More importantly, TIPE1 suppressed tumorigenesis and metastasis of ovarian cancer in vitro and in vivo, as evidence shows its ability to suppress growth, colony formation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of ovarian cancer. Taken together, our results demonstrate the suppressor role of TIPE1 in ovarian cancer metastasis, indicating TIPE1 might be a metastasis predictor and a novel therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Purpose The present study aimed to examine the association of tumour necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TIPE) expression levels with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with colon cancer following surgery. Patients and Methods The present study included 200 patients with colon cancer who underwent colon resection between June 2011 and October 2012. All follow-ups were censored in July 2020, with a median follow-up time of 62.25 months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis and Cox regression analysis were used to determine predictors for the overall survival rate. Results High expression of TIPE was associated with lymph node metastasis, higher Dukes' stage and right-sided colon cancer (RCC). An exploratory subgroup analysis found that high expression of TIPE was associated with age ≥65, lymphatic invasion and higher Dukes' stage only in the RCC group (P<0.05), whereas no similar trend was observed in the left-sided colon cancer (LCC) subgroup. Age ≥65, differentiation, lymph node metastasis and TIPE expression levels were independent prognostic factors influencing the survival rate of patients with colon cancer following surgery in multivariate Cox analysis (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the immunoreactive score of TIPE had good predictive value for five-year survival rates (AUC=0.727) and lymph node metastasis (AUC=0.760) among patients with RCC. Survival analysis revealed that the expression of TIPE had a significant impact on survival, and higher expression levels suggested a worse prognosis. Conclusion This study demonstrated that TIPE may be a novel biomarker for predicting the survival outcome and lymph node metastasis. TIPE was overexpressed in colon cancer tissue and significantly associated with poor patient survival, especially in patients with RCC.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether TIPE2 participates in the protective actions of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in a mouse model of sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI). We administered TIPE2 adeno-associated virus (AAV-TIPE2) intratracheally into the lungs of mice. Control mice were infected with an adeno-associated virus expressing no transgene. Three weeks later, an animal model of caecal ligation-perforation (CLP)-induced sepsis was established. DEX was administered intravenously 30 min after CLP. Twenty-four hours after sepsis, lung injury was assayed by lung histology, the ratio of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) to total cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, BALF protein content and the lung wet-to-dry (W/D) weight ratio. Proinflammatory factor levels in the BALF of mice were measured. The protein expression levels in lung tissues were analysed by Western blotting. The results showed that DEX treatment markedly mitigated sepsis-induced lung injury, which was characterized by the deterioration of histopathology, histologic scores, the W/D weight ratio and total protein levels in the BALF. Moreover, DEX markedly attenuated sepsis-induced lung inflammation, as evidenced by the decrease in the number of PMNs in the BALF, lung MPO activity and proinflammatory cytokines in the BALF. In addition, DEX dramatically prevented sepsis-induced pulmonary cell apoptosis in mice, as reflected by decreases in the number of TUNEL-positive cells, the protein expression of cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved caspase 3 and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. In addition, evaluation of protein expression showed that DEX blocked sepsis-activated JNK phosphorylation and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. Similar results were also observed in the TIPE2 overexpression group. Our study demonstrated that DEX inhibits acute inflammation and apoptosis in a murine model of sepsis-stimulated ALI via the upregulation of TIPE2 and the suppression of the activation of the NF-κB and JNK signalling pathways.

Abstract
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from the plasma have been increasingly recognized as important vehicles of intercellular communication and potential sources of new biomarkers for multiple diseases. In this study, proteomic profiles of plasma sEVs from normal subjects and diabetic patients with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR) were systematically compared using iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics. Among a total of 901 identified proteins in plasma sEVs (false discovery rate (FDR) < 1%), 90 proteins were found to have significantly changed levels in DR. Based on the findings from the proteomic analysis, the role of tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) in promoting human retinal microvascular endothelial cell (HRMEC) proliferation was investigated. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that TNFAIP8 levels in plasma sEVs and vitreous are elevated in DR, whereas not statistically different in large EVs (lEVs) and plasma. In addition, in vitro experiments demonstrated that 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) increased the expression of TNFAIP8 in HRMECs. TNFAIP8 significantly increased HRMECs cell viability and promote cell migration and tube formation, and the depletion of TNFAIP8 impaired HRMEC proliferation. We demonstrated that TNFAIP8 in plasma sEVs could be used as a potential biomarker of DR. Functional studies suggested that TNFAIP8 might be an important mediator of angiogenesis in DR.

Abstract
The mechanisms of drug resistance in multiple myeloma are poorly understood. Here we show that CD47, an integrin-associated receptor, is significantly upregulated in drug resistant myeloma cells in comparison with parental cells, and that high expression of CD47 detected by immunohistochemistry is associated with shorter progression free and overall survivals in multiple myeloma patients. We show that miR-155 is expressed at low levels in drug resistant myeloma cells and is a direct regulator of CD47 through its 3'UTR. Furthermore, low miR-155 levels are associated with advanced stages of disease. MiR-155 overexpression suppressed CD47 expression on myeloma cell surface, leading to induction of phagocytosis of myeloma cells by macrophages and inhibition of tumor growth. MiR-155 overexpression also re-sensitized drug-resistant myeloma cells to bortezomib leading to cell death through targeting TNFAIP8, a negative mediator of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. Thus, miR-155 mimics may serve as a promising new therapeutic modality by promoting phagocytosis and inducing apoptosis in patients with refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death across the globe. Despite the marked advances in detection and therapeutic approaches, management of lung cancer patients remains a major challenge to oncologists which can be mainly attributed to late stage diagnosis, tumor recurrence and chemoresistance. Therefore, to overthrow these limitations, there arises a vital need to develop effective biomarkers for the successful management of this aggressive cancer type. Notably, TNF-alpha induced protein 8 (TIPE), a nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-inducible, oncogenic molecule and cytoplasmic protein which is involved in the regulation of T lymphocyte-mediated immunity and different processes in tumor cells such as proliferation, cell death and evasion of growth suppressors, might serve as one such biomarker which would facilitate effective management of lung cancer. Expression studies revealed this protein to be significantly upregulated in different lung cancer types, pathological conditions, stages and grades of lung tumor compared to normal human lung tissues. In addition, knockout of TIPE led to the reduced proliferation, survival, invasion and migration of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, TIPE was found to function through modulation of Akt/mTOR/STAT-3 signaling cascade. This is the first report which shows the involvement of TIPE in tobacco induced lung carcinogenesis. It positively regulated nicotine, NNK, NNN, and BaP induced proliferation, survival and migration of lung cancer cells possibly via Akt/STAT-3 signaling. Thus, this protein possesses important role in the pathogenesis of lung tumor and hence it can be targeted for developing newer therapeutic interventions for the clinico-management of lung cancer.

Abstract
Background This research aimed to investigate the association between tumor necrosis factor-a-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) polymorphisms and ovarian cancer (OC) susceptibility. Methods A case–control study of 210 patients with OC and 231 healthy controls was conducted to assess the association between TNFAIP8 polymorphisms (rs11064, rs1045241, and rs1045242) and OC risk in Heilongjiang Province of China. The SNaPshot SNP assay was conducted to detect SNP genotype. Logistic regression analysis was applied to illustrate the underlying association. Results Our research found that TNFAIP8 rs11064 and rs1045242 were significantly connected with the susceptibility of OC. Additionally, rs1045242 increased the risk of OC, while rs11064 performed a protective role in the risk of OC. Data revealed that rs1045242 strongly related with advanced FIGO stage, larger residual tumor, and the presence of recurrence. Conclusions TNFAIP8 genetic variants, which may play difference roles, were significantly associated with OC susceptibility. The underlying molecular mechanism needs be clarified with scientific evidence.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary central nervous system malignancy, accounting for half of all intracranial primary tumors. In this study we constructed a multifunctional chlorotoxin fusion protein E-CHP that combines enhanced green fluorescent protein (E), glioma-targeting peptide chlorotoxin (C), destabilizing lipid membrane peptide riHA2 (H), and C-terminal and mouse double minute domains of p53 (P). E-CHP was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by His affinity chromatography. Fluorescence microscopy observation showed that E-CHP could effectively target glioma cells; real-time quantitative PCR revealed that E-CHP increased miR-374a expression; and the dual luciferase reporter assay showed that tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein (TNFAIP)8 is a direct target of miR-374a. E-CHP and miR-374a inhibited the proliferation and migration of glioma cells, and Western blot analysis indicated that they suppressed TNFAIP8 expression in glioma cells and promoted the expression of caspase-3 and -8. Finally, E-CHP and miR-374a stimulated the apoptosis of glioma cells, as determined by flow cytometry analysis. These results suggest that miR-374a is a new candidate target for glioma therapy, whereas E-CHP fusion protein has the potential to be developed as a multifunctional carrier for targeted drug delivery and therapy.

Abstract
Unlike other members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family that play a carcinogenic role and regulate apoptosis, TNFAIP8-like 2 (TIPE2) can not only maintain immune homeostasis but also regulate inflammation. TIPE2 mainly restrains the activation of T cell receptor (TCR) and Toll-like receptors (TLR), regulating its downstream signaling pathways, thereby regulating inflammation. Interestingly, TIPE2 is abnormally expressed in many inflammatory diseases and may promote or inhibit inflammation in different diseases. This review summarizes the molecular target and cellular function of TIPE2 in immune cells and inflammatory diseases and the underlying mechanism by which TIPE2 regulates inflammation. The function and mechanism of TIPE2 in asthma is also explained in detail. TIPE2 is abnormally expressed in asthma and participates in the pathogenesis of different phenotypes of asthma through regulating multiple inflammatory cells' activity and function. Considering the indispensable role of TIPE2 in asthma, TIPE2 may be an effective therapeutic target in asthma. However, the available data are insufficient to provide a full understanding of the complex role of TIPE2 in human asthma. Further study is still necessary to explore the possible mechanism and functions of TIPE2 in different asthma phenotypes.

Abstract
AIMS The purpose of the present study was to investigate the possible role of TIPE2 on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MIR) in diabetic rats. METHODS Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly separated into four groups: control+sham (C + sham); control+MIR (C + MIR); diabetes+sham (D + sham); diabetes+MIR (D + MIR). Diabetes was induced using streptozotocin. Eight weeks after diabetes induction, MIR was conducted. At 2 h after MIR, myocardial injury indices were assessed; arterial blood, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were collected for corresponding detection. RESULTS Rats subjected to MIR showed serious ALI (estimated via pathological changes, lung injury score and Wet/Dry weight ratio), lung inflammation and pulmonary cell apoptosis compared with sham groups, especially in D + MIR group. Evaluation of protein expression in lung tissues showed that p-JNK and nuclear NF-κB p65 protein levels were higher in D + MIR group as compared with C + MIR group. Besides, either hyperglycemia or MIR can significantly upregulate TIPE2 protein levels. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, diabetic lungs are more susceptible to MIR. TIPE2 may involve in this pathological process, possibly through regulation of inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is the first cytokine used in tumor biotherapy, but TNF-related drugs are limited by the lack of specific targets. Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced proteins (TNFAIPs), derived from TNF, is a protein family and participates in proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. In order to better understand biological functions and potential roles of TNFAIPs in malignant tumors, this paper in the form of “Gene–Protein–Tumor correlation” summarizes the biological characteristics, physiological functions and mechanisms of TNFAIPs by searching National Center of Biotechnology Information, GeneCards, UniProt and STRING databases. The relationship between TNFAIPs and malignant tumors is analyzed, and protein–protein interaction diagram in members of TNFAIPs is drawn based on TNF for the first time. We find that TNF as a key factor is related to TNFAIP1, TNFAIP3, TNFAIP5, TNFAIP6, TNFAIP8 and TNFAIP9, which can be directly involved in activating TNFAIP1, TNFAIP5, TNFAIP8 and TNFAIP9. We confirm that the mechanism of TNFAIP1, TNFAIP2 and TNFAIP3 inducing tumors may be related to NF-κB signaling pathway, but the mechanism of tumor induction by other members of TNFAIPs is not clear. In the future, translational studies are needed to explore the mechanisms of TNF-TNFAIPs-tumors.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) expression has been linked to tumor progression in various cancer types, but the detailed mechanisms of TNFAIP8 are not fully elucidated. Here we define the role of TNFAIP8 in early events associated with development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Increased TNFAIP8 levels in HCC cells enhanced cell survival by blocking apoptosis, rendering HCC cells more resistant to the anticancer drugs, sorafenib and regorafenib. TNFAIP8 also induced autophagy and steatosis in liver cancer cells. Consistent with these observations, TNFAIP8 blocked AKT/mTOR signaling and showed direct interaction with ATG3-ATG7 proteins. TNFAIP8 also exhibited binding with fatty acids and modulated expression of lipid/fatty-acid metabolizing enzymes. Chronic feeding of mice with alcohol increased hepatic levels of TNFAIP8, autophagy, and steatosis but not in high-fat-fed obese mice. Similarly, higher TNFAIP8 expression was associated with steatotic livers of human patients with a history of alcohol use but not in steatotic patients with no history of alcohol use. Our data indicate a novel role of TNFAIP8 in modulation of drug resistance, autophagy, and hepatic steatosis, all key early events in HCC progression.

Abstract
Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by high metastatic potential, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been shown to play a key role in multiple cancer progression, migration and metastasis and is the leading cause of poor prognosis. Currently, tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) is a newly discovered tumorigenesis factor, and TNFAIP8 and the EMT influence the migration of renal cancer cells. Methods: In this study, we first analyzed the relationship between TNFAIP8 and ccRCC using bioinformatics, followed by immunohistochemistry to evaluate the relationship between the two in clinical samples. Subsequently, reverse transcription PCR and western blotting confirmed the expression of TNFAIP8 in ccRCC cells. Furthermore, we measured the migration and invasion abilities by using wound healing and transwell assays after overexpression or knockdown of TNFAIP8 in cells. In addition, we verified whether TNFAIP8 affects the EMT process in ccRCC by quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence experiments. Results: Through database analysis, we found that TNFAIP8 was highly expressed in ccRCC patients and was positively correlated with tumor stage and grade, indicating that TNFAIP8 is associated with the development of advanced ccRCC and poor prognosis. We subsequently confirmed that TNFAIP8 was abnormally overexpressed in clinical samples and ccRCC cell lines and that TNFAIP8 promoted ccRCC cell migration and invasion in vitro. Finally, we found that TNFAIP8 regulated EMT-related molecule expression and regulated the EMT process. Conclusion: High expression of TNFAIP8 reinforces migration and regulates the EMT in ccRCC, conferring the metastatic potential of ccRCC and suggesting that TNFAIP8 may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of advanced ccRCC.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8-like 3 (TIPE3, also known as TNFAIP8L3) plays a vital role in tumorigenesis and development. However, it is unclear whether the two transcript variants of TIPE3 (long TIPE3 and short TIPE3) have an effect on the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we demonstrated that the expression of TIPE3 decreased in GC, but patient prognosis worsened as TIPE3 expression increased. Then, overexpression models were constructed to study the role of long TIPE3 and short TIPE3. Upregulation of long TIPE3 and short TIPE3 promoted GC cell proliferation and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo, and the effect of short TIPE3 was more obvious. Further studies demonstrated that long TIPE3 and short TIPE3 promoted proliferation and metastasis of GC cells vis PI3K/Akt pathway. In conclusion, the two TIPE3 isoforms play an important role in the tumorigenesis of GC and depend on the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Abstract
Background: Metastasis is the leading cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. It is regulated mainly by tumor cell angiogenesis, and angiogenesis is caused by the binding of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2). Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8, hereto after TIPE) plays an important role in tumorigenesis, development, and prognosis. However, the relationship between TIPE and VEGFR2 in CRC angiogenesis and the mechanism of action remain unknown. Method: In this study, we used quantitative real-time PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry to detect TIPE and VEGFR2 expression in 55 specimens from CRC patients. We also used HCT116 CRC cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) for in vitro experiments by stably transducing shTIPE and shRNA control lentivirus into HCT116 cells, detecting VEGFR2 expression after TIPE knockdown and repurposing the culture supernatant as conditioned medium to stimulate angiogenesis of HUVECs. In vivo experiments with chicken chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs) and a nude mouse matrix subcutaneous tumor model were performed to validate the effects of TIPE on angiogenesis. Additionally, we analyzed the expression and phosphorylation levels of PDK1 and blocked PDK1 expression using inhibitors to determine whether TIPE-induced changes in VEGFR2-mediated angiogenesis acted via the PI3K-Akt pathway. Results: We found that TIPE and VEGFR2 are highly expressed in CRC and act as oncogenes. TIPE knockdown also downregulated VEGFR2 expression, which resulted in simultaneous inhibition of cell proliferation, cell migration and angiogenesis. Then, in vivo experiments further demonstrated that TIPE promotes angiogenesis in CRC. Finally, we found that TIPE promotes VEGFR2-mediated angiogenesis by upregulating PDK1 expression and phosphorylation and that blocking PDK1 expression can inhibit this process. Conclusion: TIPE promotes angiogenesis in CRC by regulating the expression of VEGFR2, which may be a target for antiangiogenic cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant is an allo-reactive T cell and inflammatory cytokine driven organ injury with epithelial apoptosis as 1 of its hallmark findings and is associated with significant mortality. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8 or TIPE) acts as a negative mediator of apoptosis via inhibition of caspase-3 activation, promotes cell proliferation and Tipe deficiency is associated with increased inflammation. METHODS To evaluate the role of TIPE in acute GVHD, naive C57BL/6 and Tipe C57BL/6 mice were conditioned with 1000 cGy single dose total body irradiation, followed by transplantation of 10 million bone marrow cells and 20 million splenocytes from either syngeneic C57BL/6 or allogeneic BALB/c donors. RESULTS Allo TIPE-deficient mice developed exacerbated gut GVHD compared with allo controls and had significantly decreased survival (6 wk overall survival: 85% versus 37%; P < 0.05), higher clinical GVHD scores, more profound weight loss, increased serum proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-17A, TNF, interleukin-6, and interferon-γ). T-cell infiltration into the ileum was increased; epithelial proliferation was decreased along with significantly higher levels of chemokines KC and monokine induced by gamma interferon. Using bone marrow chimeric experiments, TIPE was found to have a role in both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells. CONCLUSIONS Absence of TIPE results in excessive inflammation and tissue injury after allo-HCT, supporting that TIPE confers immune homeostasis and has tissue-protective function during the development of gut GVHD and may be a potential future target to prevent or treat this complication after allogeneic HCT.

TIPE2 ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis and inflammation in acute lung injury. Inflamm Res 2019; 68:981-992. [PMID: 31486847 PMCID: PMC7096061 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-019-01280-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2019] [Revised: 08/25/2019] [Accepted: 08/29/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Tumour necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2) has strong anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is unknown whether increased TIPE2 is protective against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. In the current study, we aimed to investigate whether increased TIPE2 can exert protective effects in a mouse model of ALI induced by LPS. Methods We administered TIPE2 adeno-associated virus (AAV-TIPE2) intratracheally into the lungs of mice. Three weeks later, ALI was induced by intratracheal injection of LPS into BALB/c mice. Twenty-four hours later, lung bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was acquired to analyse cells and protein, arterial blood was collected for arterial blood gas analysis and the determination of pro-inflammatory factor levels, and lung issues were collected for histologic examination, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), TUNEL staining, wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio analysis, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity analysis and blot analysis of protein expression. Results We found that TIPE2 overexpression markedly mitigated LPS-induced lung injury, which was evaluated by the deterioration of histopathology, histologic scores, the W/D weight ratio, and total protein expression in the BALF. Moreover, TIPE2 overexpression markedly attenuated lung inflammation, as evidenced by the downregulation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in the BALF, lung MPO activity, and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in the serum. Moreover, TIPE2 overexpression not only dramatically prevented LPS-induced pulmonary cell apoptosis in mice but also blocked LPS-activated JNK phosphorylation and NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. Conclusions Our study shows that the increased expression of AAV-mediated TIPE2 in the lungs of mice inhibits acute inflammation and apoptosis and suppresses the activation of NF-κB and JNK in a murine model of ALI.

Abstract
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play crucial roles in tumorigenesis and their inhibition is critical for successful cancer immunotherapy. MDSCs undergo metabolic reprogramming from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and oxidative phosphorylation led by lipid accumulation in tumor. Increased exogenous fatty acid uptake by tumor MDSCs enhance their immunosuppressive activity on T-cells thus promoting tumor progression. Tumor-infiltrating MDSCs in mice may prefer FAO over glycolysis as a primary source of energy while treatment with FAO inhibitors improved anti-tumor immunity. This review highlights the immunosuppressive functions of lipid metabolism and its signaling pathways on MDSCs in the tumor microenvironment. The manipulation of these pathways in MDSCs is relevant to understand the tumor microenvironment therefore, could provide novel therapeutic approaches to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThe role of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) induced protein 8-like-2 (TIPE2) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) keratitis was explored.MethodsEight-week-old TIPE2 knockout (TIPE2−/−) C57BL/6 mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates were used. Corneal disease was graded at 1, 2, and 3 days postinfection, and slit lamp, clinical score, histopathology, and immunostaining were performed in the infected corneas. The corneas were harvested, and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of TNF-α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were tested. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) determined the protein levels, and nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cell (NF-κB) signaling molecules were tested by Western blot. In vitro human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) were used to determine the relationship between TIPE2 and TAK1. The HCECs were treated with TIPE2 short hairpin ribonucleic acid (shRNA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to test the NF-κB signaling molecules by Western blot.ResultsPseudomonas aeruginosa infection induced a decreased expression of TIPE2 in mouse corneas 2 days postinfection. Compared with the control group, TIPE2-deficient mice were susceptible to infection with PA and showed increased corneal inflammation. Reduced NF-κB signaling and inflammatory cell infiltration were required in the TIPE2-mediated immune modulation.ConclusionsTIPE2 promoted host resistance to PA infection by suppressing corneal inflammation via regulating TAK1 signaling negatively and inhibiting the infiltration of inflammatory cells.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the second most prevalent malignant tumor in women worldwide. Failure of successful treatment is most prevalent in patients with the metastatic disease and the chemotherapy refractory disease. Tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) serves as an anti-apoptotic and pro-oncogenic protein, and is associated with cancer progression and poor prognosis in a number of different cancer types. However, the physiological and pathophysiological roles of TNFAIP8 in cervical carcinogenesis and development remain poorly understood. In the present study, it was demonstrated that TNFAIP8 protein expression levels were significantly increased in cervical cancer tissues compared with the non-tumor adjacent tissues using immunohistochemistry. Additionally, it was demonstrated that TNFAIP8 overexpression is associated with cisplatin resistance. Furthermore, depletion of TNFAIP8 impaired HeLa cell proliferation and viability in vitro, improved cisplatin sensitivity, and promoted cisplatin-induced cellular apoptosis and death. Subsequent mechanistic analysis demonstrated that TNFAIP8 silencing promoted caspase-8/-3 activation and p38 phosphorylation in HeLa cells treated with cisplatin, whereas apoptosis regulator B-cell lymphoma-2 expression was inhibited with TNFAIP8-silenced HeLa cells following treatment with cisplatin. These data suggested that TNFAIP8 serves as an anti-apoptotic protein against cisplatin-induced cell death, which eventually leads to chemotherapeutic drug-treatment failure. Therefore, the present data suggested that TNFAIP8 may be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Background Tumor necrosis factor-a-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) presented a elevated expression in endometrial cancer (EC). However, the relationship of TNFAIP8 gene polymorphisms with EC risk remains unclear. This case–control study aimed to investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNFAIP8 on northern Chinese women with EC. Methods SNP rs11064, rs1045241, and rs1045242 in TNFAIP8 were successfully genotyped in 248 cancer-free controls and 226 ECs by SNaPshot method, respectively. Logistic regression was performed to assess relationship of SNPs with EC risk. The relationships of SNPs with clinicopathological variables were evaluated by Chi-square test or Student’s t-test or Fisher’s text. Results The minor alleles of rs11064 in TNFAIP8 were strongly associated with EC risk, with adjust odds ratio (OR) of 1.719 (95% CI 1.180–2.506, P = 0.005). The minor allele of rs1045242 in the TNFAIP8 gene was strongly associated with with EC risk (adjust OR: 1.636, 95% CI 1.107–2.417, P = 0.014). rs11064 SNPs correlated with TNFAIP8 protein expression in EC (P = 0.015). For rs1045242, patients with AG + GG presented higher TNFAIP8 protein expression than that with AA (P = 0.020). It also showed that SNP rs11064 was associated with advanced FIGO stage (P = 0.001), deep myometrial invasion (P = 0.047), and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.048) under the codominant model in ECs. Conclusions SNP rs11064 in TNFAIP8 increased EC risk and significantly related with its protein expression in northern Chinese women.

Abstract
Aberrant regulation of EGFR is common in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC), and tumor resistance to targeted therapies has been attributed to emergence of other co-occurring oncogenic events, parallel bypass receptor tyrosine kinase pathways including IGF1R, and TNFα-driven adaptive response via NF-κB. TNFAIP8, TNFα-inducible protein 8, is an NF-κB-activated prosurvival and oncogenic molecule. TNFAIP8 expression protects NF-κB-null cells from TNFα-induced cell death by inhibiting caspase-8 activity. Here, we demonstrate that knockdown of TNFAIP8 inhibited EGF and IGF-1-stimulated migration in NSCLC cells. TNFAIP8 knockdown cells showed decreased level of EGFR and increased expression of sorting nexin 1 (SNX1), a key regulator of the EGFR trafficking through the endosomal compartments, and treatment with SNX1 siRNA partially restored EGFR expression in these cells. TNFAIP8 knockdown cells also exhibited downregulation of IGF-1-induced pIGF1R and pAKT, and increased expression of IGF-1-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3), a negative regulator of the IGF-1/IGF1R signaling. Consistently, treatment of TNFAIP8 knockdown cells with IGFBP3 siRNA restored pIGF1R and pAKT levels. TNFAIP8 knockdown cells had enhanced sensitivities to inhibitors of EGFR, PI3K, and AKT. Furthermore, IHC expression of TNFAIP8 was associated with poor prognosis in NSCLC. These findings demonstrate TNFAIP8-mediated regulation of EGFR and IGF1R via SNX1 and IGFBP3, respectively. We posit that TNFAIP8 is a viable, multipronged target downstream of the TNFα/NF-κB axis, and silencing TNFAIP8 may overcome adaptive response in NSCLC. IMPLICATIONS: TNFAIP8 and its effectors SNX1 and IGFBP3 may be exploited to improve the efficacy of molecular-targeted therapies in NSCLC and other cancers.Visual Overview: http://mcr.aacrjournals.org/content/molcanres/17/5/1207/F1.large.jpg.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is a founding member of the TIPE family, which also includes TNFAIP8-like 1 (TIPE1), TNFAIP8-like 2 (TIPE2), and TNFAIP8-like 3 (TIPE3) proteins. Expression of TNFAIP8 is strongly associated with the development of various cancers including cancer of the prostate, liver, lung, breast, colon, esophagus, ovary, cervix, pancreas, and others. In human cancers, TNFAIP8 promotes cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, drug resistance, autophagy, and tumorigenesis by inhibition of cell apoptosis. In order to better understand the molecular aspects, biological functions, and potential roles of TNFAIP8 in carcinogenesis, in this review, we focused on the expression, regulation, structural aspects, modifications/interactions, and oncogenic role of TNFAIP8 proteins in human cancers.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like (TIPE/TNFAIP8) family is a recently identified family of proteins that is strongly associated with the regulation of immunity and tumorigenesis. This family is comprised of four members, namely, tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TIPE/TNFAIP8), tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1/TNFAIP8L1), tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TIPE2/TNFAIP8L2), and tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 3 (TIPE3/TNFAIP8L3). Although the proteins of this family were initially described as regulators of tumorigenesis, inflammation, and cell death, they are also found to be involved in the regulation of autophagy and the transfer of lipid secondary messengers, besides contributing to immune function and homeostasis. Interestingly, despite the existence of a significant sequence homology among the four members of this family, they are involved in different biological activities and also exhibit remarkable variability of expression. Furthermore, this family of proteins is highly deregulated in different human cancers and various chronic diseases. This review summarizes the vivid role of the TIPE family of proteins and its association with various signaling cascades in diverse chronic diseases.

Background Increasing evidence recognizes that DNA methylation abnormalities play critical roles in cancer development. Our previous genome-wide methylation profile showed that tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein 8 like 3 (TIPE3) was hypermethylated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the relationship between TIPE3 methylation and its mRNA expression, as well as its biological roles in NPC are unknown. Methods Bisulfite pyrosequencing and quantitative RT-PCR were performed to quantify the TIPE3 methylation and expression levels. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analysis were used to estimate the correlation between TIPE3 methylation levels and survival in two patient cohorts collected from two hospitals (n = 441). The MTT, colony formation, Transwell migration and invasion assays, and xenograft tumor growth and lung metastatic colonization models were used to identify the functions of TIPE3 on NPC cells. Results We found that TIPE3 CpG island (CGI) was hypermethylated and its mRNA levels were downregulated in many cancers, including NPC. TIPE3 downregulation was associated with its CGI hypermethylation. Furthermore, NPC patients with high TIPE3 CGI methylation levels had poorer clinical outcomes than those with low methylation levels. The TIPE3 CGI methylation level was an independent prognostic factor. Moreover, restoring TIPE3 expression significantly inhibited NPC cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and suppressed tumor growth and lung metastatic colonization in vivo, while silencing TIPE3 acted in an opposite way. Conclusions TIPE3 downregulation correlates with its CGI hypermethylation in several solid cancers. TIPE3 acts as a tumor suppressor in NPC, providing a further insight into NPC progression and representing a potential prognostic biomarker for NPC.

TNFAIP8 promotes the proliferation and cisplatin chemoresistance of non-small cell lung cancer through MDM2/p53 pathway. Cell Commun Signal 2018; 16:43.

Abstract
Background The highly refractory nature of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to chemotherapeutic drugs is an important factor resulting in its poor prognosis. Recent studies have revealed that tumour necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is involved in various biological and pathological processes of cells, but their underlying mechanisms in processes ranging from cancer development to drug resistance have not been fully elucidated. Methods TNFAIP8 expression in clinical NSCLC samples was examined through immunohistochemistry (IHC). After adjusting for patients’ characteristics with propensity score matching, Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed for comparison of patients’ survival according to the TNFAIP8 level. Lentiviral transfection with TNFAIP8-specific shRNAs was used to establish stable TNFAIP8 knockdown (TNFAIP8 KD) NCI-H460, A549 and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II resistant A549 (A549/cDDP) cell lines. Cell proliferation and viability were assessed by CCK-8 assay. Cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry. Multiple pathways regulated by TNFAIP8 KD were revealed by microarray analysis. Results We found that high TNFAIP8 expression was associated with advanced pT stage, advanced pTNM stage, lymph node metastasis and unfavourable survival in NSCLC patients. TNFAIP8 shRNAs reduced in vitro cancer cell proliferation and in vivo tumor growth. Additionally, TNFAIP8 KD increased the sensitivity of NSCLC cells to cisplatin in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, up-regulation of TNFAIP8 promoted the proliferation and drug resistance to cisplatin of NSCLC cells. TNFAIP8 influences cancer progression pathways involving the MDM2/p53 pathway. Indeed, we observed that TNFAIP8 KD mediated the MDM2 downregulation and the p53 ubiquitination, thereby decreasing the degradation of p53 protein. shRNA p53 reversed TNFAIP8 shRNA-mediated regulation of cell proliferation, cell cycle, cisplatin sensitivity, and expression levels of RAD51, a DNA repair gene. Conclusion Our work uncovers a hitherto unappreciated role of TNFAIP8 in NSCLC proliferation and cisplatin chemoresistance that is mediated through the MDM2/p53 pathway. These findings might offer potential therapeutic targets for reversing cisplatin resistance in NSCLC patients with high TNFAIP8 expression.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-inducible protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is a TNF-α inducible anti-apoptotic protein with multiple roles in tumor growth and survival. Mechanisms of cell survival by TNFAIP8 remain elusive. We investigated the role of TNFAIP8 in the regulation of the cell cycle, autophagy, cell survival and neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer cells. We showed that TNFAIP8 dysregulates cell-cycle-related proteins, in PC3 cells. Oncogenic cell survival, drug resistance and dysregulation of cell cycle-related proteins are often associated with autophagy. We demonstrated that TNFAIP8 induces autophagy by increasing expression of autophagy effectors such as LC3β I/II, Beclin1, 4EBP1, p62, and SIRT1. We also demonstrated that TNFAIP8 interacts with autophagy-related protein 3 (ATG3). TNFα treatment increased the expression of TNFAIP8, which was associated with increased autophagy and decreased apoptosis. We also observed an increase in expression of neuroendocrine differentiation markers, synaptophysin and chromogranin A, and drug resistance to anticancer drugs, docetaxel and doxorubicin, in cells transfected with TNFAIP8. Collectively, our findings reveal that by the creation of cellular autophagy events, TNFAIP8 promotes cell survival and drug resistance in prostate cancer cells.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein-8 (TNFAIP8) is the earliest discovered component of TNFAIP8 family [tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein-8 like (TIPE) family]. TNFAIP8 contains a putative death effector domain (DED) homologous to DED II in FLIP (Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1β-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein), which may affect cell survival/death process. Recently, it has been demonstrated that TNFAIP8 could inhibit apoptosis and autophagy in various types of cells. Moreover, TNFAIP8 level fluctuated evidently in patients with inflammatory, malignant, and autoimmune diseases, indicating that it might be an anti-apoptotic and oncogenetic protein. Herein we will review the discovery, gene/protein structure, pathophysiological functions, and clinical significance of TNFAIP8 together with its potential regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Background TIPE3 (TNFAIP8L3), a transfer protein for lipid second messengers, is upregulated in human lung cancer tissues. The most popular lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high incidences and low survival rates, while the roles of TIPE3 in NSCLC remain largely unknown. Methods TIPE3 expression was examined in tissue chips from patients with NSCLC using immunohistochemistry; the correlation of plasma membrane expression of TIPE3 with T stage of NSCLC was analyzed. After endogenous TIPE3 was silenced via siRNA, or TIPE3 with N or C-terminal flag was overexpressed via transient or stable transfection, human NSCLC cells were assayed for the proliferation and migration, respectively. NSCLC cells, in which TIPE3 with C-terminal flag was stably transfected, were inoculated into mice to establish xenograft tumors, the tumor growth and the expression of TIPE3 in tumor tissues were examined. Results TIPE3 was broadly expressed in lung tissues of patients with NSCLC. The plasma membrane expression of TIPE3 was positively correlated with the T stage of NSCLC. Knockdown of endogenous TIPE3, which was predominantly expressed in the plasma membrane, inhibited the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells. While transient overexpression of TIPE3 with N-terminal flag, which was mostly trapped in the cytoplasm, inhibited the growth and migration of NSCLC cells accompanied by inactivation of AKT and ERK. In contrast, stable overexpression of TIPE3 with C-terminal flag, which could be localized in the plasma membrane, markedly promoted the growth and migration of NSCLC cells through activation of AKT and ERK. Notably, in xenograft tumor models established with NSCLC cells, stable overexpression of TIPE3 with C-terminal flag in NSCLC cells significantly promoted the tumor growth and enhanced the expression and plasma membrane localization of TIPE3 in tumor tissues. Conclusion This study demonstrates that human TIPE3 promotes the proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells depending on its localization on plasma membrane, whereas cytoplasmic TIPE3 may exert a negative function. Thus, manipulating the subcellular location of TIPE3 can be a promising strategy for NSCLC therapy.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α induced protein 8 like-2 (TNFAIP8L2, TIPE2) is a lately discovered negative regulator of innate immunity and cellular immunity. The present study was designed to investigate whether naturally occurring dendritic cells (DCs) could express TIPE2 mRNA/protein and its potential significance. Expressions of co-stimulatory molecules on DC surface and cytokines were analyzed to assess the functional role of TIPE2 in controlling DC maturation as well as activation. The activated DCs were assessed for their capacity to stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of T cells. It was found that TIPE2 was a cytoplasmic protein expressed in DCs, and the percentage of DCs which expressed co-stimulatory molecules and cytokines were obviously up-regulated when TIPE2 gene silenced by siRNA in vitro and in vivo. DCs undergone TIPE2 knockdown were found to promote the maturation of DCs, T-cell proliferation as well as differentiation, and they were significantly elevated IL-2 level and intranuclear NF-AT activation. Conversely, in over-expressing TIPE2 DC cells, it could inhibit T-cell proliferation and differentiation, and markedly down-regulate IL-2 expression and intranuclear NF-AT activation after scald injury. The results suggested that TIPE2 appeared to be a critical immunoregulatory molecule which affected DC maturation and subsequent T-cell mediated immunity.

Abstract
Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in the invasiveness and metastasis of gastric cancer. Therefore, identifying key molecules involved in EMT will provide new therapeutic strategy for treating patients with gastric cancer. TIPE1 is a newly identified member of the TIPE (TNFAIP8) family, and its contributions to progression and metastasis have not been evaluated. In this study, we found that the levels of TIPE1 were significantly reduced and inversely correlated with differentiation status and distant metastasis in primary gastric cancer tissues. We further observed overexpression of TIPE1 in aggressive gastric cancer cell lines decreased their metastatic properties both in vitro and in vivo as demonstrated by markedly inhibiting EMT and metastasis of gastric cancer cells in nude mice. Consistently, gene silencing of TIPE1 in well‐differentiated gastric cancer cell line (AGS) inhibited these processes. Mechanistically, we found that TIPE1‐medicated Wnt/β‐catenin signalling was one of the critical signal transduction pathways that link TIPE1 to EMT inhibition. Importantly, TIPE1 dramatically restrained the expression and activities of MMP2 and MMP9 which are demonstrated to promote tumour progression and are implicated in EMT. Collectively, these findings provide new evidence for a better understanding of the biological activities of TIPE1 in progression and metastasis of gastric cancer and suggest that TIPE1 may be an innovative diagnostic and therapeutic target of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) family is a newly identified protein with vital roles in maintaining immune homeostasis. In the current study, we first cloned and characterized a TNFAIP8 gene from the invertebrate sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. The gene was designated as AjTNFAIP8. The full-length cDNA of AjTNFAIP8 was 1455 bp long and encoded a matured protein of 201 amino acid residues. Structural analysis indicated that AjTNFAIP8 had a death effector domain (DED)-like domain and composed of six α-helices. Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis supported that AjTNFAIP8 is a new member of the TNFAIP8 family. Analysis of basal transcription in five tissues revealed the constitutive expression of AjTNFAIP8 in the detected tissues with highest expression in the respiratory tree and minimum expression in the tentacle. Vibrio splendidus infection and LPS stimulation could significantly downregulate the mRNA expression of AjTNFAIP8. More importantly, the transcription of pro-inflammatory molecule NOS and its production of NO content were significantly increased after AjTNFAIP8 silencing, with the suppression of agmatinase transcript and arginase activity. These results clearly indicated that AjTNFAIP8 is an essential negative regulator in innate immunity. Basic information for further exploration of the functional mechanisms of TNFAIP8 family in other marine invertebrate is provided.

The nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2 (Nfe2l2/Nrf2) is a master regulator of antioxidant gene transcription. We recently identified that constitutive activation of Nrf2 (CaNrf2) caused reductive stress (RS) in the myocardium. Here we investigate how chronic Nrf2 activation alters myocardial mRNA transcriptome in the hearts of CaNrf2 transgenic (TG-low and TG-high) mice using an unbiased integrated systems approach and next generation RNA sequencing followed by qRT-PCR methods. A total of 246 and 1031 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the heart of TGL and TGH in relation to NTG littermates at ~ 6 months of age. Notably, the expression and validation of the transcripts were gene-dosage dependent and statistically significant. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified enriched biological processes and canonical pathways associated with myocardial RS in the CaNrf2-TG mice. In addition, an overrepresentation of xenobiotic metabolic signaling, glutathione-mediated detoxification, unfolded protein response, and protein ubiquitination was observed. Other, non-canonical signaling pathways identified include: eNOS, integrin-linked kinase, glucocorticoid receptor, PI3/AKT, actin cytoskeleton, cardiac hypertrophy, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress response. In conclusion, this mRNA profiling identified a "biosignature" for pro-reductive (TGL) and reductive stress (TGH) that can predict the onset, rate of progression, and clinical outcome of Nrf2-dependent myocardial complications. We anticipate that this global sequencing analysis will illuminate the undesirable effect of chronic Nrf2 signaling leading to RS-mediated pathogenesis besides providing important guidance for the application of Nrf2 activation-based cytoprotective strategies.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the female patients which was mainly caused by metastasis. Development of target gene therapy for breast cancer to suppress tumor progress and metastasis will improve the therapeutic options and be of great benefit to the patients. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced protein 8-like 2 is a novel molecule for maintaining immune homeostasis and is involved in cancer development. In the present study, we overexpressed TIPE2 in breast cancer cells to investigate the role of TIPE2 in the development of breast cancer. Our results showed that overexpression of TIPE2 significantly inhibited the proliferation of 4T1 cells in vitro and in vivo. We constructed a non-viral targeted gene therapeutic system by using the minicircle plasmids expressing TIPE2. We found that the growth and metastasis of breast cancer was significantly inhibited by hydrodynamic gene delivery of TIPE2 plasmids in vivo. Mechanistically, TIPE2 increased T and NK cells, and decreased MDSCs. Gene delivery of TIPE2 up-regulated the production of IFN-γ and TNF-α by CD8+ T and NK cells in spleens and tumor microenvironment, and enhanced the cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T and NK cells. Taken together, TIPE2 inhibited breast cancer development and metastasis possibly via promoting CD8+ T and NK cell-mediated antitumor immune responses. Thus, the results indicate that TIPE2 may be a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer therapy.
