[PMID: 34825000 PMCID: PMC8610695 DOI: 10.1155/2021/1442093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Introduction miR-199a has been reported as an oncogene of various cancers. However, the biological function and regulatory mechanism of miR-199a in keratinocytes of cholesteatoma are still unclear. Methods Detection by qRT-PCR was conducted on miR-199a's expression in both thirty pairs of cholesteatoma tissues and normal skins. For characterizing the function of miR-199a, this research adopted transwell assay, wound healing assay, and CCK8 assays. Under the support of qRT-PCR, efforts were made to investigate the relative expression of candidate target genes. Moreover, the evaluation of the targeting relationship between miR-199a and the candidate target gene was conducted with the dual-luciferase reporter assay. Results The upregulation of miR-199a was found in cholesteatoma tissues, which facilitated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HaCaT cells, while its downregulation caused opposite results. Conclusions The findings of the present research offer more insights into the molecular mechanism of cholesteatoma progression.

Abstract
Focal deletions occur frequently in the cancer genome. However, the putative tumor-suppressive genes residing within these regions have been difficult to pinpoint. To robustly identify these genes, we implemented a computational approach based on non-negative matrix factorization, NMF, and interrogated the TCGA dataset. This analysis revealed a metagene signature including a small subset of genes showing pervasive hemizygous deletions, reduced expression in cancer patient samples, and nucleolar function. Amid the genes belonging to this signature, we have identified PNRC1, a nuclear receptor coactivator. We found that PNRC1 interacts with the cytoplasmic DCP1α/DCP2 decapping machinery and hauls it inside the nucleolus. PNRC1-dependent nucleolar translocation of the decapping complex is associated with a decrease in the 5'-capped U3 and U8 snoRNA fractions, hampering ribosomal RNA maturation. As a result, PNRC1 ablates the enhanced proliferation triggered by established oncogenes such as RAS and MYC These observations uncover a previously undescribed mechanism of tumor suppression, whereby the cytoplasmic decapping machinery is hauled within nucleoli, tightly regulating ribosomal RNA maturation.

Abstract
Certain aspects of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer patients are still important challenges to be addressed. Therefore, we propose a pipeline to uncover patterns of alternative polyadenylation (APA), a hidden complexity in cancer transcriptomes, to further accelerate efforts to discover novel cancer genes and pathways. Here, we analyzed expression data for 1045 cancer patients and found a significant shift in usage of poly(A) signals in common tumor types (breast, colon, lung, prostate, gastric, and ovarian) compared to normal tissues. Using machine-learning techniques, we further defined specific subsets of APA events to efficiently classify cancer types. Furthermore, APA patterns were associated with altered protein levels in patients, revealed by antibody-based profiling data, suggesting functional significance. Overall, our study offers a computational approach for use of APA in novel gene discovery and classification in common tumor types, with important implications in basic research, biomarker discovery, and precision medicine approaches.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are crucial for signal transductions required for cell differentiation and proliferation. Their modulation is therefore key to the development of therapeutic alternatives, particularly in the context of cancer. According to literature data, the polyproline-rich nuclear receptor coactivators PNRC and PNRC2 interact with estrogen receptor (ERα) through their PxxP SH3-binding motifs. In a search to identify the molecular features governing this interaction, we explored using electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) calculations, the capacity of a range of putative biologically active peptides derived from these proteins and containing this PxxP motif(s) to form polyproline II (PPII) domains. An additional more exhaustive structural study on a lead PPII peptide was also performed using 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. With the exception of one of all the investigated peptides (PNRC-D), binding assays failed to detect any affinity for Grb2 SH3 domains, suggesting that PPII motifs issued from Grb2 antagonists have a binding mode distinct from those derived from Grb2 agonists. Instead, the peptides revealed a competitive binding ability against a synthetic peptide (ERα17p) with a putative PPII-cognate domain located within a coregulator recruitment region of ERα (AF-2 site). Our work, which constitutes the first structure-related interaction study concerning PNRC and PNRC2, supports not only the existence of PxxP-induced PPII sequences in these coregulators, but also confirms the presence of a PPII recognition site in the AF-2 of the steroid receptor ERα, a region important for transcription regulation.

Abstract
Proline-rich nuclear receptor coactivator (PNRC)1 is a member of a new family of nuclear receptor coactivators capable of potentiating the transcriptional activity of nuclear receptors. The objective was to investigate the relationship between PNRC1 genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and reproductive traits in ducks. Brown Tsaiya ducks (N = 305) from two lines, a control line with no selection and the selected line, were used. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand polymorphism and DNA sequencing were done to screen polymorphisms of the PNRC1 gene. A novel SNP (G98T) in 3'-untranslated region of the PNRC1 gene was identified and resulted in two genotypes, GG and GT. The frequencies of genotype GG and allele G were higher in both lines investigated. Regarding egg weight at first egg (EWFE), based on SNP trait association analysis, ducks with the GG genotype had a 4.48 g per egg greater egg weight at first egg when compared with ducks of the GT genotype in the control line (P < 0.05). In addition, this SNP was associated with the hatchability rate (HR) in the selected line; ducks with the GT genotype had a 6.70% higher hatchability rate than those with the GG genotype (P < 0.05). Therefore, we inferred that the PNRC1 gene could be a candidate locus or linked to a major gene that influenced egg weight-related and hatchability traits in Tsaiya ducks. Further investigations on additional duck populations with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
PNRC (proline-rich nuclear receptor coregulatory protein) was primarily identified as a coactivator of nuclear receptors (NRs) by our laboratory, which enhances NR-mediated transcription by RNA polymerase II. Recent study has shown that PNRC also stimulates RNA polymerase III-dependent transcription through interaction with the subunit RPC39 of RNA polymerase III. Here, we report that PNRC accumulates in the nucleolus and its depletion by small interfering RNA (siRNA) impairs pre-rRNA transcription by RNA polymerase I. We identified the sequence at position 94-101 ((94)PKKRRKKK(101)) of PNRC as its nucleolar localization sequence (NoLS). Fusion of this sequence to GFP directed GFP to the nucleolus. Characterization of the NoLS revealed that the stretches of six successive basic residues are sufficient to function as a NoLS. Through co-immunoprecipitation assay, we demonstrated that the NoLS is necessary and sufficient to mediate the association of PNRC with B23/nucleophosmin. Moreover, B23 depletion by siRNA disrupted the accumulation of PNRC in the nucleolus. Together, our study indicates that PNRC is a novel nucleolar protein that might be involved in regulation of pre-rRNA synthesis, and it localizes to the nucleolus by interaction with B23 via its NoLS. Our study also suggests that the stretches of six successive basic residues (lysine and/or arginine) could function as NoLS.

Abstract
Breast cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women and its metastatic spread is the principal reason behind the fatal outcome. Metastasis-related research of breast cancer is however underdeveloped when compared with the abundant literature on primary tumors. We applied an unexplored approach comparing at high resolution the genomic profiles of primary tumors and synchronous axillary lymph node metastases from 13 patients with breast cancer. Overall, primary tumors displayed 20% higher number of aberrations than metastases. In all but two patients, we detected in total 157 statistically significant differences between primary lesions and matched metastases. We further observed differences that can be linked to metastatic disease and there was also an overlapping pattern of changes between different patients. Many of the differences described here have been previously linked to poor patient survival, suggesting that this is a viable approach toward finding biomarkers for disease progression and definition of new targets useful for development of anticancer drugs. Frequent genetic differences between primary tumors and metastases in breast cancer also question, at least to some extent, the role of primary tumors as a surrogate subject of study for the systemic disease.

Abstract
Iron deficiency affects 500 million people, yet the molecular role of iron in gene expression remains poorly characterized. In addition, the alterations in global gene expression after iron chelation remain unclear and are important to assess for understanding the molecular pathology of iron deficiency and the biological effects of chelators. Considering this, we assessed the effect on whole genome gene expression of two iron chelators (desferrioxamine and 2-hydroxy-1-napthylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone) that have markedly different permeability properties. Sixteen genes were significantly regulated by both ligands, whereas a further 50 genes were significantly regulated by either compound. Apart from iron-mediated regulation of expression via hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha, it was noteworthy that the transcription factor p53 was also involved in iron-regulated gene expression. Examining 16 genes regulated by both chelators in normal and neoplastic cells, five genes (APP, GDF15, CITED2, EGR1, and PNRC1) were significantly differentially expressed between the cell types. In view of their functions in tumor suppression, proliferation, and apoptosis, these findings are important for understanding the selective antiproliferative effects of chelators against neoplastic cells. Most of the genes identified have not been described previously to be iron-regulated and are important for understanding the molecular and cellular effects of iron depletion.

Abstract
During epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), epithelial cells are converted into isolated motile and invasive mesenchymal cells. In model systems, EMT is induced most often by the activation of tyrosine kinase receptors through signaling pathways involving translational and post-translational regulation. In this study, we have used the NBT-II bladder carcinoma cell system to investigate in vitro Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 (FGF-1)-induced EMT. Transcriptome analyses were performed on NBT-II cells stimulated for 2, 6, 24, and 48 h with FGF-1. As some phenotypic changes occurred around 6 h post-stimulation, a supervised analysis was designed to identify transcript variations across defined time-periods. Our results clearly indicate that immediately after FGF-1 stimulation a set of genes assigned to transcriptional regulation (e.g., jun-B and v-ets) and to EMT induction (e.g., Notch 1) is transiently up-regulated. A set of genes involved in proteolytic systems (e.g., MMP-13 and uPAR) is immediately up-regulated but subsequently maintained throughout FGF-1 stimulation. Then follows a second wave of gene expression that includes a strong but transient up-regulation of ephrin B1 and arginase I. Finally, a third group of genes is stably modulated over 48 h which consists primarily of down-regulated genes specifically associated with the EMT-based loss of the epithelial phenotype and maintenance of the mesenchymal and invasive phenotype of carcinoma cells. Using genome-wide oligoarray technology, we have identified novel expressions of immediate, immediate-early and later EMT biomarkers that are specifically activated downstream of the FGF/FGFR pathway and which might be significant prognostic factors for tumor progression of carcinoma.

Abstract
Nuclear receptor (NR) dependent transcriptional action requires recruitment of diverse factors characterized as coregulators. PNRC (proline-rich nuclear receptor coregulatory protein) is a member of coregulators that are capable of potentiating the transcriptional activity of NRs. Here we identified three human PNRC splicing variants designated PNRC1c, PNRC1d and PNRC1f. PNRC1c and PNRC1f are generated through alternative recognition of the 3'-splice site in exon 1, leading to in-frame deletion of 79 amino acids (aa) and an altered reading frame, respectively. PNRC1d is generated through the alternate promoter usage and forms a truncated protein containing C-terminus 142 aa of full-length PNRC. These isoforms differ in their abilities to bind NRs and potentiate NR mediated transcriptions. Moreover, PNRC1d can modulate the activity of full-length PNRC in enhancing ER mediated transcription. Our results suggest that PNRC exists as functionally distinct isoforms and alternative splicing serves as a regulatory mechanism of PNRC coactivator activity.

Abstract
PURPOSE The identification of a molecular signature predicting the relapse of tamoxifen-treated primary breast cancers should help the therapeutic management of estrogen receptor-positive cancers. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A series of 132 primary tumors from patients who received adjuvant tamoxifen were analyzed for expression profiles at the whole-genome level by 70-mer oligonucleotide microarrays. A supervised analysis was done to identify an expression signature. RESULTS We defined a 36-gene signature that correctly classified 78% of patients with relapse and 80% of relapse-free patients (79% accuracy). Using 23 independent tumors, we confirmed the accuracy of the signature (78%) whose relevance was further shown by using published microarray data from 60 tamoxifen-treated patients (63% accuracy). Univariate analysis using the validation set of 83 tumors showed that the 36-gene classifier is more efficient in predicting disease-free survival than the traditional histopathologic prognostic factors and is as effective as the Nottingham Prognostic Index or the "Adjuvant!" software. Multivariate analysis showed that the molecular signature is the only independent prognostic factor. A comparison with several already published signatures demonstrated that the 36-gene signature is among the best to classify tumors from both training and validation sets. Kaplan-Meier analyses emphasized its prognostic power both on the whole cohort of patients and on a subgroup with an intermediate risk of recurrence as defined by the St. Gallen criteria. CONCLUSION This study identifies a molecular signature specifying a subgroup of patients who do not gain benefits from tamoxifen treatment. These patients may therefore be eligible for alternative endocrine therapies and/or chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background PNRC transcriptionally regulates a wide range of RNA polymerase (pol) II-transcribed genes by functioning as a nuclear receptor coactivator. To search for additional PNRC-interacting proteins other than nuclear receptors, a PNRC fragment was used as bait in a yeast two-hybrid screening of a human mammary gland cDNA expression library. Results RNA pol III/RPC39 fragments were repeatedly identified as PNRC-interacting partners in two independent screenings. The interaction between these RPC39 fragments and PNRC was further confirmed in the independent yeast two-hybrid assays. The association of endogenous PNRC and RPC39 in MCF7 cells was demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation. Furthermore, ChIP analysis detected co-recruitment of PNRC and RPC39 to tRNA and U6 RNA promoters. The biological consequence of the interaction between PNRC and RPC39 was further studied. Overexpression of PNRC, either by transient or stable transfection, increased RNA pol III-dependent transcription in MCF7 cells, while a decrease in transcription in MCF7 cells treated with PNRC/siRNA was observed. Conclusion Here, we demonstrate that human PNRC stimulates RNA pol III transcription through its interaction with the subunit RPC39 of RNA pol III. PNRC is a unique coactivator that has profound effects on many aspects of cellular function by directly influencing both RNA pol II- and RNA pol III-dependent transcription.

Abstract
Estrogen receptors (ERs) behave not only as ligand-dependent transcriptional factors; they can also trigger non-genomic responses involving mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs), reported to be crucial in transduction cascades. MAPKs are partially activated by proteins with domains able to interact with polyproline II (PPII) regions. Recent studies have brought up the direct interaction of PPII-containing proteins with the alpha subtype human ER (ERalpha). Such observations suggest that ERalpha may contain a "PPII recognizing domain" (PRD). By sequence alignment, we identified such a potential PRD within the AF-2 region of ERalpha (residues 351-414). According to our modeling studies based on X-ray structural data, this PRD appears to be divided in two sub-regions known to interact with alpha-helix containing coactivators. Our data also reveal the potential existence of intramolecular interactions of this domain with a large PPII-rich region of the receptor (residues 301-330). Implication of these regulatory structural elements in both genomic and non-genomic responses seems likely.

Abstract
PNRC and PNRC2 are members of a new family of nuclear receptor coactivators. We systematically determined the molecular basis and the structure/function relationship for the PNRC–ERα interaction. PNRC was found to interact with ERα mainly through its C-terminus region, amino acids 270–327, and an SH3-binding motif within this region was shown to be essential for PNRC to interact with and function as coactivator of ERα. The importance of the flanking sequences of SH3-binding motif in the interaction between PNRC and ERα was also investigated. The PNRC-interacting domain(s) on ERα was also mapped. PNRC was found to interact with both AF1 and LBD of ERα, and to function as a coactivator for both AF1 and AF2 transactivation functions. The interaction of ERα mutants, I358R, K362A, V376R, L539R and E542K, with PNRC/PNRC2 was further investigated. ERα/HBD/V376R could bind to PNRC or PNRC2, with similar affinity as wild-type ERα/HBD, and the transactivation activity of ERα/V376R was enhanced 5-fold by PNRC. Since GRIP1, a well-characterized coactivator, was found not to be able to enhance the transactivation function of this mutant, our results indicate that the PNRC–ERα interaction interface is not exactly identical to that of GRIP1–ERα interaction.

Abstract
Interference of measles virus (MV) with phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase (PI3K) activation in response to T cell receptor ligation was identified as important for the induction of T cell paralysis. We now show that MV exposure of unstimulated T cells induces expression of SIP110, an isoform of the lipid phosphatase SHIP145, which is translated from an intron-derived sequences containing mRNA. We found that MV contact can regulate stimulated exon inclusion into pre-mRNAs by targeting PI3K or MAPK-dependent nuclear translocation and activation of splicing regulatory serine-arginine rich (SR) and Sam68 proteins. Induction of SIP110 in resting T cells relied on MV-dependent interference with basal activity of the PI3K. SIP110 was cloned from MV-exposed T cells, and, when transiently expressed in primary or Jurkat T cells, localized into membrane clusters independently of T cell activation. Confirming that SIP110 is a catalytically active lipid phosphatase, its transgenic expression abolished basal and impaired PMA/ionomycin-stimulated phosphorylation of the Akt kinase which is important for T cell proliferation. Thus MV causes induction of SIP110 expression, which constitutively depletes the cellular phosphoinositol-3,4,5-phosphate pool suggesting that thereby the threshold for activation signals necessary for the induction of T cell proliferation is raised.
