Tumor Necrosis Factor α-Induced Protein 8-Like 1 Binds to Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 1 to Suppress the Methylation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 and Cell Growth in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2024; 194:1126-1136. [PMID: 38432512 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2024.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8 (TIPE, also TNFAIP8 or OXi-α) family is a newly discovered series of proteins involved in immune regulation and tumorigenesis. TIPE1, a member of the TIPE/TNFAIP8/OXi-α family, has emerged as an anticancer-drug target, as it promotes cancer cell apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation. The current study aimed to systematically reveal that TIPE1 regulates the activity of protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT)-1 and the subsequent methylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 to suppress oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) growth. TIPE1 was down-regulated in the OSCC cell lines (Tca8113, SCC25, Cal27, SCC15, and HSC27). TIPE1 overexpression significantly inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, in vivo tumorgenicity, and Ki-67 expression in OSCC. TIPE1 interacted with the catalytic region of PRMT1 and inhibited STAT3 methylation. The effects of TIPE1 on OSCC cells were alleviated after PRMT1 overexpression, confirming the importance of this interaction to the tumor-suppressive effects of TIPE1. Together, these findings confirmed that TIPE1 mediated PRMT1 suppression through direct binding to its catalytic domain and subsequently inhibited the methylation and expression of STAT3 in OSCC cells, thereby inhibiting cell growth and tumorgenicity.

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.

TIPE1 inhibits osteosarcoma tumorigenesis and progression by regulating PRMT1 mediated STAT3 arginine methylation. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:815.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS), the most common primary malignancy of the bone, has a poor prognosis due to its high mortality rate and high potential for metastasis. Thus, it is urgently necessary to explore functional molecular targets of therapeutic strategies for osteosarcoma. Here, we reported that TIPE1 expression was decreased in osteosarcoma tissues compared to normal and adjacent nontumor tissues, and its expression was negatively related to tumor stage and tumor size. Functional assays showed that TIPE1 inhibited osteosarcoma carcinogenesis and metastatic potential both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we investigated that the STAT3 signaling pathway was significantly downregulated after TIPE1 overexpression. Mechanistically, TIPE1 bind to the catalytic domain of PRMT1, which deposits an asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) mark on histone/non-histone proteins, and thus inhibited PRMT1 mediated STAT3 methylation at arginine (R) residue 688. This abolished modification decreased STAT3 transactivation and expression, by which subsequently suppressed osteosarcoma malignancy. Taken together, these data showed that TIPE1 inhibits the malignant transformation of osteosarcoma through PRMT1-mediated STAT3 arginine methylation and ultimately decreases the development and metastasis of osteosarcoma. TIPE1 might be a potential molecular therapeutic target and an early biomarker for osteosarcoma diagnosis.

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
Effective cancer therapy can be achieved by using nano-drug delivery systems which provide a targeted drug delivery strategy by overcoming the drawbacks of conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. ZnO nanoparticles are a potent anticancer agent that causes tumor cell destruction with the targeted drug delivery. In this present study, green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles has been done using the plant Solanum nigrum. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were studied by the characterization techniques like UV-visible spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, DLS, zeta potential, FTIR, and XRD. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles of Solanum nigrum exhibited a significant anticancer activity against HeLa cell lines through the apoptotic pathway. The cytotoxicity of ZnO nanoparticles was assessed using MTT assay, wound healing assay, DAPI staining, and acridine orange and ethidium bromide double staining. The expression patterns of β-catenin, p53, caspase-3, and caspase-9 were analyzed using reverse transcriptase-PCR. The results obtained from the study indicate that the ZnO nanoparticles of Solanum nigrum possess a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect against HeLa cell lines through the inhibition of β-catenin and increasing the levels of p53, caspase-3, and caspase-9.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein eight like 1 (TIPE1) plays important role in autophagy, immunity, and lipid metabolism. The potential role of TIPE1 in fatty liver hemorrhage syndrome (FLHS) is elusory. In the present study, the full-length coding sequence of TIPE1 was cloned, and the polyclonal antibody of TIPE1 was produced by the recombinant TIPE1 protein. The bioinformatic analysis showed that the chicken TIPE1 protein, which was predicted to be a hydrophobic and non-transmembrane protein without signal peptide was highly different from that of mammals. Furthermore, proceeded by using TIPE1 polyclonal antibody, the tissue distribution analysis showed that TIPE1 protein is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues in adult hens and chicks, with its level being higher in the liver and, spleen, moderate in intestinal, brain, and heart. Besides, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence observation demonstrated that TIPE1 mainly existed in the cytoplasm in liver, duodenum, and cecum cell. Notably, the TIPE1 expressions were significantly decreased in laying hens suffering from FLHS. Collectively, these results showed that the chicken TIPE1 polyclonal antibody was successfully prepared and further used to analyze the expression profiles of chicken. And the expression of TIPE1 was reduced in FLHS which provided the foundation for further investigation in FLHS.

Abstract
Macrophages perform key and distinct functions in maintaining tissue homeostasis by finely tuning their activation state. Within the tumor microenvironment, macrophages are reshaped to drive tumor progression. Here we report that tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1) is highly expressed in macrophages, and that depletion of TIPE1 impedes alternative activation of macrophages. TIPE1 enhanced activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway in macrophages by directly binding with and regulating the metabolism of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). Accordingly, inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway significantly attenuated the effect of TIPE1 on macrophage alternative activation. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in human liver cancer and melanoma tissues showed significantly upregulated TIPE1 expression that negatively correlated with patient survival. In vitro and in vivo, TIPE1 knockdown in macrophages retarded the growth and metastasis of liver cancer and melanoma. Furthermore, blockade or depletion of TGF-β signaling in macrophages abrogated the effects of TIPE1 on tumor cell growth and migration. Together, these results highlight that the phosphoinositide-related signaling pathway involves reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages to optimize the microenvironment for cancer progression.

Upregulation of TIPE1 in tubular epithelial cell aggravates diabetic nephropathy by disrupting PHB2 mediated mitophagy. Redox Biol 2022; 50:102260.

Abstract
Renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) are one of the most mitochondria-rich cell types, and are thus vulnerable to mitochondrial dysregulation, which is defined as a pivotal event in tubular damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role and mechanisms of tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8-like 1 (TNFAIP8L1/TIPE1) in high glucose (HG)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in RTECs and DN progression. TIPE1 expression was predominantly upregulated in RTECs in patients with DN and mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DN. Conditional knockout of Tipe1 in RTECs significantly decreased the urine protein creatinine ratio, renal tubular damage, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and interstitial fibrosis in STZ-induced mice. RNA sequencing revealed that citrate cycle-related genes were positively enriched in the renal tissues of RTEC-specific Tipe1 knockout mice. Tipe1 deficiency upregulated ATP levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, and respiration rate, but downregulated mitochondrial ROS levels in RTECs. Furthermore, Tipe1 ablation led to enhanced mitophagy in RTECs, indicative of increased LC3II, PINK1, and Parkin expression, but decreased p62 expression in mitochondria. Mechanistically, mass spectrometry screening and co-immunoprecipitation assays revealed the interaction of TIPE1 with prohibitin 2 (PHB2), a crucial mitophagy receptor. Intriguingly, TIPE1 promoted the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of PHB2. Subsequently, PHB2 knockdown almost abrogated the improvement of Tipe1 loss on HG-induced tubular cell mitophagy and damage. Thus, TIPE1 disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis in RTECs and promotes tubular damage by destabilizing PHB2 under HG conditions. Hence, TIPE1 may act as a potential therapeutic target to prevent DN progression. TIPE1 is highly expressed in RTECs of DN. TIPE1 aggravates diabetic renal injury and fibrosis. TIPE1 disrupts the mitochondria homeostasis of RTECs by inhibiting mitophagy. TIPE1 interacts with and promotes the proteasomal degradation of PHB2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Characterized by hepatocyte steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, NASH is a complicated process that contributes to end-stage liver disease and, eventually, HCC. TNF-α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1), a new member of the TNF-α-induced protein 8 family, has been explored in immunology and oncology research; but little is known about its role in metabolic diseases. APPROACH AND RESULTS Here, we show that hepatocyte-specific deletion of TIPE1 exacerbated diet-induced hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis as well as systemic metabolic disorders during NASH pathogenesis. Conversely, hepatocyte-specific overexpression of TIPE1 dramatically prevented the progression of these abnormalities. Mechanically, TIPE1 directly interacted with apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) to suppress its TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-catalyzed polyubiquitination activation upon metabolic challenge, thereby inhibiting the downstream c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 signaling pathway. Importantly, dramatically reduced TIPE1 expression was observed in the livers of patients with NAFLD, suggesting that TIPE1 might be a promising therapeutic target for NAFLD and related metabolic diseases. CONCLUSIONS TIPE1 protects against hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis through directly binding ASK1 and restraining its TRAF6-catalyzed polyubiquitination during the development of NASH. Therefore, targeting TIPE1 could be a promising therapeutic approach for NAFLD treatment.

Abstract
Lysine Acetyltransferase 2B (KAT2B) functions pivotally in regulating chromatin organization as well as function, and is a key regulator of signal transduction during development of many diseases, like tumors. This research intends to exploit expression, clinical significance as well as how KAT2B functions in cervical cancer. Our study showed that the KAT2B expression in cervical carcinoma tissues was inferior to that in normal tissues; decreased KAT2B expression was signally related to increased T staging, lymph node metastasis together with tissue differentiation; patients with high KAT2B expression had better prognosis. After knocking down KAT2B, cell proliferation diminished with decreased cell migration and invasion. Additionally, knocking down KAT2B made for increasing EMT-related proteins N-cadherin and Vimentin expression, while ZO-1 expression decreased; overexpression had the opposite effect. Dual luciferase analysis affirmed that miR-93-5p could in specifical bind to KAT2B, and thus reducing its expression and activity. KAT2B may be a new cervical tumor-suppressor gene, which is closely concerned with poor prognosis of patients, and under negative regulation by miR-93-5p.

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.

Human tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein eight-like 1 exhibited potent anti-tumor effect through modulation of proliferation, survival, migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. Mol Cell Biochem 2021; 476:3303-3318.

Abstract
Lung cancer represents one of the most prevalent neoplasms across the globe. Tobacco smoking, exposure to different occupational and environmental carcinogens, and various dietary factors are strongly implicated in the development of lung cancer. The 5-year survival rate of lung cancer is extremely poor which can be attributed to its propensity for early spread, lack of appropriate biomarkers and proper therapeutic strategies for this aggressive neoplasm. Emerging evidence suggests tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein eight like 1 (TIPE1 or TNFAIP8L1), which functions as a cell death regulator, to hold high prospect as an important biomarker. Interestingly, this protein was found to be significantly downregulated in human lung cancer tissues compared to normal lung tissues. In addition, this protein exerted marked downregulation in different stages and grades of lung tumor. Further knockout of TIPE1 led to the enhancement in proliferation, survival, migration and invasion of NCIH460 human lung cancer cells through modulation of Akt/mTOR/STAT-3 signaling cascade. In addition, TIPE1 was found to be involved in nicotine, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, N-nitrosonornicotine and benzo[a]pyrene-mediated lung cancer through enhanced proliferation, survival and migration of lung cancer cells. Altogether, this newly identified protein plays a critical role in lung cancer pathogenesis and possess enormous prospect to serve as an important tool in the effective management of this aggressive neoplasm.

Abstract
Previous studies have revealed that TIPE1 serves as a tumor suppressor gene in several tumor types. However, we demonstrated that TIPE1 can promote cervical cancer proliferation by suppressing p53 activity. Here, we showed that TIPE1 inhibits cervical cancer cell apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, we revealed that TIPE1 facilitates chemoresistance in a wild-type p53-dependent manner. The results indicated that TIPE1 is responsible for the transition from chemosensitivity to chemoresistance, and that it can serve as a promising target in cervical cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family, including TNFAIP8 (TIPE), TNFAIP8 like-protein 1 (TNFAIP8L1/TIPE1), TNFAIP8 like-protein 2 (TNFAIP8L2/TIPE2), and TNFAIP8 like-protein 3 (TNFAIP8L3/TIPE3), plays a vital role in regulating inflammatory responses, immune homeostasis, and cancer development. Over the last decade, studies have shown that TIPE2 protein is differentially expressed in diverse cells and tissues. The dysregulation of TIPE2 protein can lead to dysregulation of inflammatory responses and immune homeostasis, and change the basic characteristics of cancers. In consideration of the immeasurable values of TIPE2 in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of various human diseases, this review will focus on the expression pattern, structure, and regulatory roles of TIPE2 in inflammation, immunity, and cancers.

Abstract
Cervical cancer (CC) is one of most common malignancies affecting women worldwide. To date, surgical resection is the only effective radical remedy for CC at its early stages, while the prognosis of metastatic or recurrent CC is very poor. Dysfunction of the tumor suppressor p53 due to aberrant expression, post-translational modification, mutations, SNPs, and LOH as well as sequestration by viral antigens and MDM2/HDM2-mediated degradation is closely associated with the therapeutic insensitivity and relapse of many malignancies, including CC. Accumulating studies have demonstrated that restoration of p53 activity can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, eliminate radio- and chemotherapy resistance, and inhibit tumor growth in CC cells. Therefore, activation of wild-type p53 as well as restoration of p53 function seems appealing as a therapeutic strategy. In this review, we focus on the potential roles of p53 reactivation in CC treatment and their underlying molecular mechanisms towards the development of novel therapies.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1) functions as a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer, including lung and breast cancer. The present study aimed to determine the level of expression and the function of TIPE1 in ovarian cancer. TIPE1 expression was determined in tissue microarrays and ovarian cancer cells, and these data were analyzed to assess the association between TIPE1 expression and prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. The potential antitumor effects of TIPE1 were investigated in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model. Furthermore, the underlying molecular mechanism by which TIPE1 regulates ovarian cancer growth was determined via flow cytometric analysis, western blotting and rescue experiments. The results of the present study indicated that TIPE1 levels were markedly decreased in ovarian cancer tissues, and its level of expression was associated with a favorable prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. In addition, ectopic TIPE1 expression significantly impaired A2780 and SKOV3 cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro, which was accompanied by efficient inhibition of xenograft tumor growth in mice. Investigations into the underlying molecular mechanism demonstrated that TIPE1 induced ovarian cancer cell apoptosis by promoting caspase protein expression. Inhibition of caspase-dependent apoptosis by z-VAD blocked TIPE1-mediated inhibition of the proliferation and induction of apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that TIPE1 may be a potential prognostic predictor and therapeutic target for patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that tumour necrosis factor‐α–induced protein 8 like‐1(TIPE1) plays distinct roles in different cancers. TIPE1 inhibits tumour proliferation and metastasis in a variety of tumours but acts as an oncogene in cervical cancer. The role of TIPE1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unknown. Interestingly, TIPE1 expression was remarkably increased in NPC tissue samples compared to adjacent normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissue samples in our study. TIPE1 expression was positively correlated with that of the proliferation marker Ki67 and negatively correlated with patient lifespan. In vitro, TIPE1 inhibited autophagy and induced cell proliferation in TIPE1‐overexpressing CNE‐1 and CNE‐2Z cells. In addition, knocking down TIPE1 expression promoted autophagy and decreased proliferation, whereas overexpressing TIPE1 increased the levels of pmTOR, pS6 and P62 and decreased the level of pAMPK and the LC3B. Furthermore, the decrease in autophagy was remarkably rescued in TIPE1‐overexpressing CNE‐1 and CNE‐2Z cells treated with the AMPK activator AICAR. In addition, TIPE1 promoted tumour growth in BALB/c nude mice. Taken together, results indicate that TIPE1 promotes NPC progression by inhibiting autophagy and inducing cell proliferation via the AMPK/mTOR signalling pathway. Thus, TIPE1 could potentially be used as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for NPC.

Abstract
High mortality of patients with cervical cancer (CC) stresses the imperative of prognostic biomarkers for CC patients. Additionally, the vital status of post‐translational modifications (PTMs) in the progression of cancers has been reported by numerous researches. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to dig a prognostic signature correlated with PTMs for CC. We built a five‐mRNA (GALNTL6, ARSE, DPAGT1, GANAB and FURIN) prognostic signature associated with PTMs to predict both disease‐free survival (DFS) (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.967, 95% CI = 1.985‐7.927; P < .001) and overall survival (HR = 2.092, 95% CI = 1.138‐3.847; P = .018) for CC using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Then, the robustness of the signature was validated using GSE44001 and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. CIBERSORT algorithm analysis displayed that activated CD4 memory T cell was also an independent indicator for DFS (HR = 0.426, 95% CI = 0.186‐0.978; P = .044) which could add additional prognostic value to the signature. Collectively, the PTM‐related signature and activated CD4 memory T cell can provide new avenues for the prognostic predication of CC. These findings give further insights into effective treatment strategies for CC, providing opportunities for further experimental and clinical validations.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8-like-1 (TIPE1) functions as an activator or a repressor in a tumor cell type-specific manner. However, the role of TIPE1 in breast cancer, especially regarding metastasis, is unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the TIPE1 expression in breast cancer tissues, the biological functions, and the underlying mechanisms of TIPE1 regarding the metastatic properties of breast cancer cells. The results of immunohistochemical staining and western blot analysis indicated that TIPE1 expression was associated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis, and the expression of TIPE1 was downregulated in the tissues of patients with lymph node metastasis. Transwell and wound healing assay results showed that TIPE1 inhibited the invasive and migratory capacities of breast cancer cells. Moreover, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was suppressed in TIPE1-overexpressing cells, as demonstrated by western blot analysis. In addition, western blot analysis also showed that TIPE1 reduced the expression levels of MMP2 and MMP9 and decreased the phosphorylation level of ERK. These results suggested that TIPE1 might suppress the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells and inhibit EMT primarily via the ERK signaling pathway. Our findings revealed the anti-tumor metastasis role of TIPE1 in breast cancer and TIPE1 might be a new candidate prognostic indicator and a potential molecular target for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
TIPE1, which acts as a cell death regulator, has emerged as a tumor suppressor in the process of carcinogenesis. However, our recent research demonstrated that it serves as an oncogene in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer, indicating that the role of TIPE1 in carcinogenesis needs to be further evaluated. In this study, we show that TIPE1 is able to inhibit breast cancer cell growth both in vivo and in vitro. Functionally, TIPE1 inhibits cancer cell proliferation preferentially by downregulating ERK phosphorylation. Furthermore, the expression of TIPE1 is decreased in breast cancer tissues compared to matched adjacent tissues, and its expression is positively correlated with patients' lifespan. These data indicate that TIPE1 suppresses breast cancer proliferation by inhibiting the ERK signaling pathway. This study also suggests that TIPE1 could serve as a potential therapeutic target and a diagnostic biomarker for breast cancer.

The function of histone acetylation in cervical cancer development. Biosci Rep 2019; 39:BSR20190527. [PMID: 30886064 PMCID: PMC6465204 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20190527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2019] [Revised: 03/14/2019] [Accepted: 03/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common female cancer in the world. It is well known that cervical cancer is closely related to high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. However, epigenetics has increasingly been recognized for its role in tumorigenesis. Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression levels based on non-gene sequence changes, primarily through transcription or translation of genes regulation, thus affecting its function and characteristics. Typical post-translational modifications (PTMs) include acetylation, propionylation, butyrylation, malonylation and succinylation, among which the acetylation modification of lysine sites has been studied more clearly so far. The acetylation modification of lysine residues in proteins is involved in many aspects of cellular life activities, including carbon metabolism, transcriptional regulation, amino acid metabolism and so on. In this review, we summarize the latest discoveries on cervical cancer development arising from the aspect of acetylation, especially histone acetylation.
