[PMID: 35117340 PMCID: PMC8799109 DOI: 10.21037/tcr-20-2450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Background Lung cancer represents the most leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, especially in Xuanwei in eastern Yunnan province, China. WD repeat and SOCS box containing protein (WSB) has been reported to participate in the carcinogenesis of lung cancer. However, there is no report about the role of WSB2 in the carcinogenesis and development of lung cancer in Xuanwei. Here, we investigated the functional role of WSB2 in Xuanwei lung cancer and uncovered its underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods The expression of WSB2 in lung cancer cell lines and tissues were measured using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Western blotting was used to determine the protein levels of WSB2, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, c-Myc and β-catenin in lung cancer cells. Cell viability was detected using 3-(4,5-diethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-etrazolium, inner salt (MTS) assay. While cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were quantified using flow cytometry following indicated staining. The change of cell invasion ability was detected using Transwell assay. FH535 was employed to block Wnt/β-catenin pathway. A xenograft tumor model was applied to confirm the tumor properties of WSB2 in vivo. Results Our data showed that WSB2 was frequently up-regulated in Xuanwei lung cancer tissues and cells, when compared with paired non-cancerous tissues and normal lung epithelial cells. Knockdown of WSB2 notably reduced cell viability, cell invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, while induced apoptotic cell death and cell cycle arrest of Xuanwei lung cancer cells. Moreover, in vivo findings also confirmed that WSB2 knockdown could effectively delay the growth of tumor. Mechanistic studies revealed that c-Myc and β-catenin were notably decreased at both protein and mRNA levels after knocking down of WSB2, while overexpression of WSB2 showed a contrary tendency. In addition, blocking Wnt/β-catenin pathway using FH535 rescued the cancer promoting effect mediated by overexpression of WSB2. Furthermore, WSB2 activated Wnt/β-catenin pathway and accelerated the progression of lung cancer. Conclusions WSB2 promoted the progression of lung cancer in Xuanwei by triggering Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

T618I CSF3R mutations in chronic neutrophilic leukemia induce oncogenic signals through aberrant trafficking and constitutive phosphorylation of the O-glycosylated receptor form. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 523:208-213.

Abstract
Activating mutations in the membrane-proximal region of the colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) are a hallmark of chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) with the T618I mutation being most common. The mechanisms underlying constitutive activation of the T618I CSF3R and its signal propagation are poorly understood. Ligand-independent activation of the T618I CSF3R has previously been attributed to loss of receptor O-glycosylation and increased receptor dimerization. Here, we show that the T618I CSF3R is indeed glycosylated but undergoes enhanced spontaneous internalization and degradation that results in a marked decrease in its surface expression. Inhibition of the proteasome dramatically increases expression of the O-glycosylated T618I CSF3R. We also demonstrate that the O-glycosylated wild-type CSF3R is tyrosine phosphorylated in response to ligand but constitutively phosphorylated in cells expressing T618I CSF3R. Constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation of the O-glycosylated T618I receptor form correlated with activation of JAK2 and both the mutant receptor and JAK2 were found to be constitutively ubiquitinated. These observations provide novel insights into the mechanisms of oncogenic signaling by T618I CSF3R mutations in CNL.

Abstract
During bacterial infection, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is produced and accelerates neutrophil production from their progenitors. This process, termed granulopoiesis, strengthens host defense, but Clostridium perfringens α-toxin impairs granulopoiesis via an unknown mechanism. Here, we tested whether G-CSF accounts for the α-toxin-mediated impairment of granulopoiesis. We find that α-toxin dramatically accelerates G-CSF production from endothelial cells in response to Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) agonists through activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. Meanwhile, α-toxin inhibits G-CSF-mediated cell proliferation of Ly-6G+ neutrophils by inducing degradation of G-CSF receptor (G-CSFR). During sepsis, administration of α-toxin promotes lethality and tissue injury accompanied by accelerated production of inflammatory cytokines in a TLR4-dependent manner. Together, our results illustrate that α-toxin disturbs G-CSF-mediated granulopoiesis by reducing the expression of G-CSFR on neutrophils while augmenting septic shock due to excess inflammatory cytokine release, which provides a new mechanism to explain how pathogenic bacteria modulate the host immune system.

Abstract
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) plays a crucial role in regulating myeloid cell survival, proliferation, and neutrophilic granulocyte precursor cells maturation. Previously, we demonstrated that Fbw7α negatively regulates G-CSFR and its downstream signaling through ubiquitin-proteasome mediated degradation. However, whether additional ubiquitin ligases for G-CSFR exist is not known. Identifying multiple E3 ubiquitin ligases for G-CSFR shall improve our understanding of activation and subsequent attenuation of G-CSFR signaling required for differentiation and proliferation. Here, for the first time we demonstrate that E6 associated protein (E6AP), an E3 ubiquitin ligase physically associates with G-CSFR and targets it for ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation and thereby attenuates its functions. We further show that E6AP promoted G-CSFR degradation leads to reduced phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) which is required for G-CSF dependent granulocytic differentiation. More importantly, our finding shows that E6AP also targets mutant form of G-SCFR (G-CSFR-T718), frequently observed in severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) patients that very often culminate to AML, however, at a quite slower rate than wild type G-CSFR. In addition, our data showed that knockdown of E6AP restores G-CSFR and its signaling thereby promoting granulocytic differentiation. Collectively, our data demonstrates that E6AP facilitates ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of G-CSFR leading to attenuation of its downstream signaling and inhibition of granulocytic differentiation.

Abstract
The wsb1 gene has been identified to be important in developmental biology and cancer. A complex transcriptional regulation of wsb1 yields at least three functional transcripts. The major expressed isoform, WSB1 protein, is a substrate recognition protein within an E3 ubiquitin ligase, with the capability to bind diverse targets and mediate ubiquitinylation and proteolytic degradation. Recent data suggests a new role for WSB1 as a component of a neuroprotective pathway which results in modification and aggregation of neurotoxic proteins such as LRRK2 in Parkinson’s Disease, via an unusual mode of protein ubiquitinylation. WSB1 is also involved in thyroid hormone homeostasis, immune regulation and cellular metabolism, particularly glucose metabolism and hypoxia. In hypoxia, wsb1 is a HIF-1 target, and is a regulator of the degradation of diverse proteins associated with the cellular response to hypoxia, including HIPK2, RhoGDI2 and VHL. Major roles are to both protect HIF-1 function through degradation of VHL, and decrease apoptosis through degradation of HIPK2. These activities suggest a role for wsb1 in cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. As well, recent work has identified a role for WSB1 in glucose metabolism, and perhaps in mediating the Warburg effect in cancer cells by maintaining the function of HIF1. Furthermore, studies of cancer specimens have identified dysregulation of wsb1 associated with several types of cancer, suggesting a biologically relevant role in cancer development and/or progression. Recent development of an inducible expression system for wsb1 could aid in the further understanding of the varied functions of this protein in the cell, and roles as a potential oncogene and neuroprotective protein.

BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2013; 1833:2639-2652.

Abstract
Tight control between activation and attenuation of granulocyte colony stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) signaling is essential to regulate survival, proliferation and differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells. Previous studies demonstrated negative regulation of G-CSFR through endosomal-lysosomal routing and ubiquitin-proteasome mediated degradation. However, very few E3 ubiquitin ligases are known to target G-CSFR for ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Here we identified F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (Fbw7), a substrate recognizing component of Skp-Cullin-F box (SCF) E3 ubiquitin Ligase physically associates with G-CSFR and promotes its ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. Our data shows that Fbw7 also interacts with and degrades G-CSFR-T718 (a truncated mutant of G-CSFR found in severe congenital neutropenia/acute myeloid leukemia (SCN/AML patients)) though at a quite slower rate compared to G-CSFR. We further show that glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β), like Fbw7 also targets G-CSFR and G-CSFR-T718 for degradation; however, Fbw7 and GSK3β are interdependent in targeting G-CSFR/G-CSFR-T718 for degradation because they are unable to degrade G-CSFR individually when either of them is knocked down. We further show that Fbw7 mediated downregulation of G-CSFR inhibits signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation which is required for G-CSF dependent granulocytic differentiation. In addition, our data also shows that inhibition of Fbw7 restores G-CSFR signaling leading to enhanced STAT3 activity resulting in massive granulocytic differentiation. These data indicate that Fbw7 together with GSK3β negatively regulates G-CSFR expression and its downstream signaling.

Abstract
WSB-1 is involved in DNA damage response by targeting homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) for ubiquitination and degradation. Here, we report that hypoxia significantly up-regulates the expression of WSB-1 in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. We also provide evidence that WSB-1 is a target of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). Silencing the expression of HIF-1α in HCC cells by RNA interference abolishes hypoxia-induced WSB-1 expression. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays, we identified a HRE of the WSB-1 gene. Moreover, silencing the expression of WSB-1 by RNA interference rescues HIPK2 expression in hypoxic HCC cells and promotes etoposide-induced cell death in hypoxic HCC cells. Taken together, these data shed light on the mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced chemoresistance in HCC cells.

Abstract
The suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) box was first identified in the SH2-containing SOCS box family (cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein, SOCS1-7) and is a 40-amino acid motif, which functions to recruit an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex consisting of the adapter proteins elongins B and C, Rbx2 and the scaffold protein Cullin5. The SOCS box is found in a diverse array of intracellular signalling molecules, many of which contain different protein interaction domains such as SPRY and WD40 domains, leucine and ankyrin repeats or other functional domains such as GTPases. In general, the SOCS box-containing proteins are thought to act as substrate-recognition modules to mediate the polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation of substrate proteins by the 26S proteasome.

Abstract
MAPPIT (mammalian protein-protein interaction trap) is a two-hybrid interaction mapping technique based on functional complementation of a type I cytokine receptor signaling pathway. Over the last decade, the technology has been extended into a platform of complementary assays for the detection of interactions among proteins and between chemical compounds and proteins, and for the identification of small molecules that interfere with protein-protein interactions. Additionally, several screening approaches have been developed to broaden the utility of the platform. In this review we provide an overview of the different components of the MAPPIT toolbox and highlight a number of applications in interactomics, drug screening and compound target profiling.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate growth factor receptor signalling at least in part by inhibiting oxidation-sensitive phosphatases. An emerging concept is that ROS act locally to affect signal transduction in different subcellular compartments and that ROS levels are regulated by antioxidant proteins at the same local level. Here, we show that the ER-resident antioxidant peroxiredoxin 4 (Prdx4) interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR). This interaction occurs when the activated G-CSFR resides in early endosomes. Prdx4 inhibits G-CSF-induced signalling and proliferation in myeloid progenitors, depending on its redox-active cysteine core. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1b (Ptp1b) appears to be a major downstream effector controlling these responses. Conversely, Ptp1b might keep Prdx4 active by reducing its phosphorylation. These findings unveil a new signal transduction regulatory circuitry involving redox-controlled processes in the ER and activated cytokine receptors in endosomes.

Abstract
Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates T-cell, B-cell, NK-cell, and myeloid-cell functions. IL-21 binds with its cognate receptor complex, which consists of the IL-21 receptor (IL-21R) and the common gamma chain. We identified a novel IL-21R-binding molecule, WSB-1, which contains WD-40 repeats and a SOCS-box domain. WSB-1 associates with the middle part of intracytoplasmic region of IL-21R and enhances the maturation of IL-21R from N-linked glycosylated form to fully glycosylated mature form. Furthermore, WSB-1 moderates IL-21R degradation. Taken together, our present study suggests that WSB-1 has a role in the tuning of the maturation and degradation of IL-21R.

Abstract
Physical interactions between proteins play a key role in probably every cellular process. Efforts to chart the protein interaction networks are ongoing in a number of model organisms using a diversity of approaches. The resulting genome-wide interaction maps will provide a scaffold for further detailed functional analysis. We developed MAPPIT, a mammalian two-hybrid approach that allows identification and analysis of mammalian protein-protein interactions in their native environment. Here, we introduce an efficient MAPPIT assay that permits high-throughput screening of arrayed collections of proteins and complements a previously published cDNA library screening approach. We validated both methods in screens for interaction partners of the Cullin-based E3 ubiquitin ligase subunits SKP1 and Elongin C. In addition to a number of known interactors, novel SKP1 and Elongin C binding proteins were identified. The array assay is an important addition to the MAPPIT suite of technologies that is expected to significantly increase its utility as a toolbox to screen for novel interactors of proteins or small molecules.

Abstract
The use of recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factors (G-CSF) has become an integral part of supportive care during cytotoxic chemotherapy. Current guidelines recommend the use of G-CSF in patients with substantial risk of febrile neutropenia. However, little consensus exists about optimal timing and tailoring of this therapy. Based on the known effects of chemotherapy and G-CSF on bone marrow compartments, we propose a model that supports the prophylactic rather than therapeutic use of G-CSF therapy. In addition, several genetic alterations in G-CSF signalling pathway have been described. These genetic variants may predict the risk of febrile neutropenia and response to G-CSF. Thus, future pharmacogenetic/omics studies in this field are warranted. Through the identification of patients at risk and the knowledge of biological basis for optimal timing, hopefully we should soon be able to improve the application of the existing guidelines for G-CSF therapy and patient's prognosis.

Abstract
MAPPIT (mammalian protein–protein interaction trap) is a cytokine receptor-based two-hybrid method that operates in intact mammalian cells. A bait is fused C-terminally to a STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) recruitment-deficient receptor, whereas the prey is linked to functional STAT-binding sites. When bait and prey interact a ligand-dependent complementation of the STAT recruitment deficiency occurs, leading to activation of a STAT-responsive reporter. MAPPIT is very well suited to study protein interactions involving activated cytokine receptors as the technique allows modification of the bait protein in a physiologically optimal environment.

Abstract
The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) is a critical regulator of granulopoiesis, but the mechanisms controlling its surface expression are poorly understood. Recent studies using transfected cell lines have suggested the activated G-CSFR is routed to the lysosome and not the proteasome. Here, we examined the role of the ubiquitin/proteasome system in regulating G-CSFR surface expression in both ts20 cells that have a temperature-sensitive E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme and in primary human neutrophils. We show that the G-CSFR is constitutively ubiquitinated, which increases following ligand binding. In the absence of a functional E1 enzyme, ligand-induced internalization of the receptor is inhibited. Pre-treatment of ts20 transfectants with either chloroquine or MG132 inhibited ligand-induced G-CSFR degradation, suggesting a role for both lysosomes and proteasomes in regulating G-CSFR surface expression in this cell line. In neutrophils, inhibition of the proteasome but not the lysosome was found to inhibit internalization/degradation of the activated G-CSFR. Collectively, these data demonstrate the requirement for a functional ubiquitin/proteasome system in G-CSFR internalization and degradation. Our results suggest a prominent role for the proteasome in physiologic modulation of the G-CSFR, and provide further evidence for the importance of the ubiquitin/proteasome system in the initiation of negative signaling by cytokine receptors.

Abstract
Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) is a member of the nuclear protein kinase family, which induces both p53- and CtBP-mediated apoptosis. Levels of HIPK2 were increased by UV irradiation and cisplatin treatment, thereby implying the degradation of HIPK2 in cells under normal conditions. Here, we indicate that HIPK2 is ubiquitinated and degraded by the WD40-repeat/SOCS box protein WSB-1, a process that is blocked under DNA damage conditions. Yeast two-hybrid screening was conducted to identify the proteins that interact with HIPK2. WSB-1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, was characterized as an HIPK2-interacting protein. The coexpression of WSB-1 resulted in the degradation of HIPK2 via its C-terminal region. Domain analysis of WSB-1 showed that WD40-repeats and the SOCS box were required for its interaction with and degradation of HIPK2, respectively. In support of the degradation of HIPK2 by WSB-1, HIPK2 was polyubiquitinated by WSB-1 in vitro and in vivo. The knockdown of endogenous WSB-1 with the expression of short hairpin RNA against WSB-1 increases the stability of endogenous HIPK2 and resulted in the accumulation of HIPK2. The ubiquitination and degradation of HIPK2 by WSB-1 was inhibited completely via the administration of DNA damage reagents, including Adriamycin and cisplatin. These findings effectively illustrate the regulatory mechanisms by which HIPK2 is maintained at a low level, by WSB-1 in cells under normal conditions, and stabilized by genotoxic stresses.

Abstract
The hematopoietic system provides an attractive model for studying growth factor-controlled expansion and differentiation of cells in relation to receptor routing and its consequences for signal transduction. Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins regulate receptor signaling partly via their ubiquitin ligase (E3)-recruiting SOCS box domain. Whether SOCS proteins affect signaling through modulating intracellular trafficking of receptors is unknown. Here, we show that a juxtamembrane lysine residue (K632) of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR) plays a key role in receptor routing and demonstrate that the effects of SOCS3 on G-CSF signaling to a major extent depend on this lysine. Mutation of K632 causes accumulation of G-CSFR in early endosomes and leads to sustained activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 and ERK, but not protein kinase B. Myeloid progenitors expressing G-CSFR mutants lacking K632 show a perturbed proliferation/differentiation balance in response to G-CSF. This is the first demonstration of SOCS-mediated ubiquitination and routing of a cytokine receptor and its impact on maintaining an appropriate signaling output.
