SKP2 promotes the metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by suppressing TRIM21-mediated PSPC1 degradation. Cancer Lett 2024; 587:216733.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in diagnostic techniques and treatment approaches, the prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is still poor. Previous studies have reported that S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2), a subunit of the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, is engaged in the malignant biological behavior of some tumor entities. However, SKP2 has not been fully investigated in PDAC. In the present study, it was observed that high expression of SKP2 significantly correlates with decreased survival time. Further experiments suggested that SKP2 promotes metastasis by interacting with the putative transcription factor paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1). According to the results of coimmunoprecipitation and ubiquitination assays, SKP2 depletion resulted in the polyubiquitination of PSPC1, followed by its degradation. Furthermore, the SKP2-mediated ubiquitination of PSPC1 partially depended on the activity of the E3 ligase TRIM21. In addition, inhibition of the SKP2/PSPC1 axis by SMIP004, a traditional inhibitor of SKP2, impaired the migration of PDAC cells. In summary, this study provides novel insight into the mechanisms involved in PDAC malignant progression. Targeting the SKP2/PSPC1 axis is a promising strategy for the treatment of PDAC.

[PMID: 38403231 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
The DNA damage response (DDR) safeguards the stable genetic information inheritance by orchestrating a complex protein network in response to DNA damage. However, this mechanism can often hamper the effectiveness of radiotherapy and DNA-damaging chemotherapy in destroying tumor cells, causing cancer resistance. Inhibiting DDR can significantly improve tumor cell sensitivity to radiotherapy and DNA-damaging chemotherapy. Thus, DDR can be a potential target for cancer treatment. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of DDR-associated proteins profoundly affect their activity and function by covalently attaching new functional groups. O-GlcNAcylation (O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation) is an emerging PTM associated with adding and removing O-linked N-acetylglucosamine to serine and threonine residues of proteins. It acts as a dual sensor for nutrients and stress in the cell and is sensitive to DNA damage. However, the explanation behind the specific role of O-GlcNAcylation in the DDR remains remains to be elucidated. To illustrate the complex relationship between O-GlcNAcylation and DDR, this review systematically describes the role of O-GlcNAcylation in DNA repair, cell cycle, and chromatin. We also discuss the defects of current strategies for targeting O-GlcNAcylation-regulated DDR in cancer therapy and suggest potential directions to address them.

[PMID: 38204601 PMCID: PMC10777867 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s437859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The evident side effects and decreased drug sensitivity significantly restrict the use of chemotherapy. However, nanoparticles based on biomaterials are anticipated to address this challenge. Methods Through bioinformatics analysis and colon cancer samples, we initially investigated the expression level of RNF8 in colon cancer. Next, we constructed nanocarrier for delivering siRNF8 based on DNA tetrahedron (si-Tet), and Doxorubicin (DOX) was further intercalated into the DNA structure (si-DOX-Tet) for combination therapy. Further, the effects and mechanism of RNF8 inhibition on the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to DOX chemotherapy have also been studied. Results RNF8 expression was increased in colon cancer. Agarose gel electrophoresis, transmission electron microscopy, and size distribution and potential analysis confirmed the successful preparation of the two nanoparticles, with particle sizes of 10.29 and 37.29 nm, respectively. Fluorescence imaging reveals that the carriers can be internalized into colon cancer cells and escape from lysosomes after 12 hours of treatment, effectively delivering siRNF8 and DOX. Importantly, Western blot analysis verified treatment with 50nM si-Tet silenced RNF8 expression by approximately 50% in colon cancer cells, and combined treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation. Furthermore, the CCK-8 assay demonstrated that si-Tet treatment enhanced the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to the three chemotherapeutic drugs. Significant more DNA damage was detected after treatment with both si-Tet or si-DOX-Tet. Further flow cytometry analysis revealed that si-DOX-Tet treatment led to significantly more apoptosis, approximately 1.6-fold higher than treatment with DOX alone. Mechanistically, inhibiting RNF8 led to decreased ABCG2 expression and DOX efflux, but increased DNA damage, thereby enhancing the chemotherapeutic effect of DOX. Conclusion We have successfully constructed si-DOX-Tet. By inhibiting the expression of RNF8, it enhances the chemotherapy sensitivity of DOX. Therefore, this tetrahedral FNA nanocarrier offers a new approach for the combined treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
It has been more than three decades since the discovery of multifunctional factors, the Non-POU-Domain-Containing Octamer-Binding Protein, NonO, and the Splicing Factor Proline- and Glutamine-Rich, SFPQ. Some of their functions, including their participation in transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation as well as their contribution to paraspeckle subnuclear body organization, have been well documented. In this review, we focus on several other established roles of NonO and SFPQ, including their participation in the cell cycle, nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ), homologous recombination (HR), telomere stability, childhood birth defects and cancer. In each of these contexts, the absence or malfunction of either or both NonO and SFPQ leads to either genome instability, tumor development or mental impairment.

Abstract
The paraspeckle protein NONO is a multifunctional nuclear protein participating in the regulation of transcriptional regulation, mRNA splicing and DNA repair. However, whether NONO plays a role in lymphopoiesis is not known. In this study, we generated mice with global deletion of NONO and bone marrow (BM) chimeric mice in which NONO is deleted in all of mature B cells. We found that the global deletion of NONO in mice did not affect T-cell development but impaired early B-cell development in BM at pro- to pre-B-cell transition stage and B-cell maturation in the spleen. Studies of BM chimeric mice demonstrated that the impaired B-cell development in NONO-deficient mice is B-cell-intrinsic. NONO-deficient B cells displayed normal BCR-induced cell proliferation but increased BCR-induced cell apoptosis. Moreover, we found that NONO deficiency impaired BCR-induced activation of ERK, AKT, and NF-κB pathways in B cells, and altered BCR-induced gene expression profile. Thus, NONO plays a critical role in B-cell development and BCR-induced B-cell activation.

Abstract
Ribosomes frequently stall during mRNA translation, resulting in the context-dependent activation of quality control pathways to maintain proteostasis. However, surveillance mechanisms that specifically respond to stalled ribosomes with an occluded A site have not been identified. We discovered that the elongation factor-1α (eEF1A) inhibitor, ternatin-4, triggers the ubiquitination and degradation of eEF1A on stalled ribosomes. Using a chemical genetic approach, we unveiled a signaling network comprising two E3 ligases, RNF14 and RNF25, which are required for eEF1A degradation. Quantitative proteomics revealed the RNF14 and RNF25-dependent ubiquitination of eEF1A and a discrete set of ribosomal proteins. The ribosome collision sensor GCN1 plays an essential role by engaging RNF14, which directly ubiquitinates eEF1A. The site-specific, RNF25-dependent ubiquitination of the ribosomal protein RPS27A/eS31 provides a second essential signaling input. Our findings illuminate a ubiquitin signaling network that monitors the ribosomal A site and promotes the degradation of stalled translation factors, including eEF1A and the termination factor eRF1.

Abstract
Paraspeckles are mammal-specific membraneless nuclear bodies that participate in various biological processes. NONO, a central paraspeckle component, has been shown to play pivotal roles in DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) repair, whereas its underlying mechanism needs to be further disclosed. Here, using co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrum, we identified ribosomal protein P0 (RPLP0) as a DSB-induced NONO-binding protein; RPLP0 binds to the RRM1 and RRM2 domains of NONO. Similar to NONO, RPLP0 enhances non-homologous end joining-mediated DSB repair, which was ascribed to a ribosome-independent manner. Interestingly, paraspeckles were induced as early as 15 min after irradiation; it further recruited nuclear RPLP0 to enhance its interaction with NONO. Radiation-induced NONO/RPLP0 complex subsequently anchored at the damaged DNA and increased the autophosphorylation of DNA-PK at Thr2609, thereby enhancing DSB repair. Consistently, in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that depletion of NONO sensitizes tumor cells to radiation. For patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, NONO expression was remarkably increased in tumor tissues and correlated with a poor response to radiochemotherapy. Our findings suggest a pivotal role of radiation-induced paraspeckles in DNA repair and tumor radioresistance, and provide a new insight into the ribosome-independent function of ribosomal proteins.

Abstract
Cytarabine (Ara-C) is the first-line drug for the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). However, resistance eventually develops, decreasing the efficacy of Ara-C in AML patients. The expression of SAMHD1, a deoxynucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) triphosphohydrolase, has been reported to be elevated in Ara-C-resistant AML patients and to play a crucial role in mediating Ara-C resistance in AML. However, the mechanism by which SAMHD1 is upregulated in resistant AML remains unknown. In this study, NONO interacted with and stabilized SAMHD1 by inhibiting DCAF1-mediated ubiquitination/degradation of SAMHD1. Overexpression of NONO increased SAMHD1 expression and reduced the sensitivity of AML cells to Ara-C, and downregulation of NONO had the opposite effects. In addition, the DNA-damaging agents DDP and adriamycin (ADM) reduced NONO/SAMHD1 expression and sensitized AML cells to Ara-C. More importantly, NONO was upregulated in Ara-C-resistant AML cells, resulting in increased SAMHD1 expression in resistant AML cells, and DDP and ADM treatment resensitized resistant AML cells to Ara-C. This study revealed the mechanism by which SAMHD1 is upregulated in Ara-C-resistant AML cells and provided novel therapeutic strategies for Ara-C-resistant AML.

Abstract
Cellular stress can induce DNA lesions that threaten the stability of genes. The DNA damage response (DDR) recognises and repairs broken DNA to maintain genome stability. Intriguingly, components of nuclear paraspeckles like the non-POU domain containing octamer-binding protein (NONO) participate in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). NONO is a multifunctional RNA-binding protein (RBP) that facilitates the retention and editing of messenger (m)RNA as well as pre-mRNA processing. However, the role of NONO in the DDR is poorly understood. Here, we establish a novel human U2OS cell line that expresses NONO fused to the engineered ascorbate peroxidase 2 (U2OS:NONO-APEX2-HA). We show that NONO-APEX2-HA accumulates in the nucleolus in response to DNA damage. Combining viability assays, subcellular localisation studies, coimmunoprecipitation experiments and in vivo proximity labeling, we demonstrate that NONO-APEX2-HA is a stably expressed fusion protein that mimics endogenous NONO in terms of expression, localisation and bona fide interactors. We propose that in vivo proximity labeling in U2OS:NONO-APEX2-HA cells is capable for the assessment of NONO interactomes by downstream assays. U2OS:NONO-APEX2-HA cells will likely be a valuable resource for the investigation of NONO interactome dynamics in response to DNA damage and other stimuli.

Abstract
Androgen receptor (AR) signaling drives prostate cancer (PC) progression. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is temporally effective, whereas drug resistance inevitably develops. Abnormal expression of AR/ARV7 (the most common AR splicing variant) is critical for endocrine resistance, while the detailed mechanism is still elusive. In this study, bioinformatics and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrate that RNF8 is high expressed in PC and castration-resistant PC (CRPC) samples and the expression of RNF8 is positively correlated with the Gleason score. The high expression of RNF8 in PCs predicts a poor prognosis. These results provide a potential function of RNF8 in PC progression. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of RNF8 is positively correlated with that of AR in PC. Mechanistically, we find that RNF8 upregulates c-Myc-induced AR transcription via altering histone modifications at the c-Myc binding site within the AR gene. RNF8 also acts as a co-activator of AR, promoting the recruitment of AR/ARV7 to the KLK3 (PSA) promoter, where RNF8 modulates histone modifications. These functions of RNF8 are dependent on its E3 ligase activity. RNF8 knockdown further reduces AR transactivation and PSA expression in CRPC cells with enzalutamide treatment. RNF8 depletion restrains cell proliferation and alleviates enzalutamide resistance in CRPC cells. Our findings indicate that RNF8 may be a potential therapeutic target for endocrine resistance in PC.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs have recently emerged as significant contributors to cancers, including breast cancer (BC). One class of long noncoding RNAs called transcribed ultraconserved regions (T-UCRs) is highly conserved in many species and closely related to diverse physiological and pathological processes. However, the function of T-UCRs in BC remains largely unclear. In this study, we identified uc.51, a T-UCR that is overexpressed in both BC tissues and cell lines and is correlated with larger tumor size. Loss- and gain-of-function assays were performed in vitro and demonstrated that uc.51 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of BC cells. Mechanistically, non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NONO) was found to physically interact with uc.51 by RNA pulldown followed by mass spectrometry. This interaction was further verified by RNA immunoprecipitation. Moreover, uc.51 positively regulated the expression of NONO, maintained its stability through the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and activated the phosphorylation of CREB. Rescue experiments demonstrated that NONO overexpression compensated for the attenuated influence on BC progression resulting from downregulation of uc.51, indicating that NONO functions downstream of uc.51. In vivo functional experiments also revealed a positive correlation between uc.51 expression and tumor size. Ki-67 and NONO levels in the lv-uc.51-shRNA group were decreased compared with those in the lv-con-shRNA group, according to the immunohistochemical staining results, and a decreased incidence of distant metastasis was observed in the lv-uc.51-shRNA group in the xenograft model. Collectively, our results reveal a substantial role for the uc.51-NONO axis in BC progression and indicate that the uc.51-NONO axis has potential to be a therapeutic target for BC.

OGA is associated with deglycosylation of NONO and the KU complex during DNA damage repair. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:622.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence shows that OGT-mediated O-GlcNAcylation plays an important role in response to DNA damage repair. However, it is unclear if the “eraser” O-GlcNAcase (OGA) participates in this cellular process. Here, we examined the molecular mechanisms and biological functions of OGA in DNA damage repair, and found that OGA was recruited to the sites of DNA damage and mediated deglycosylation following DNA damage. The recruitment of OGA to DNA lesions is mediated by O-GlcNAcylation events. Moreover, we have dissected OGA using deletion mutants and found that C-terminal truncated OGA including the pseudo HAT domain was required for the recruitment of OGA to DNA lesions. Using unbiased protein affinity purification, we found that the pseudo HAT domain was associated with DNA repair factors including NONO and the Ku70/80 complex. Following DNA damage, both NONO and the Ku70/80 complex were O-GlcNAcylated by OGT. The pseudo HAT domain was required to recognize NONO and the Ku70/80 complex for their deglycosylation. Suppression of the deglycosylation prolonged the retention of NONO at DNA lesions and delayed NONO degradation on the chromatin, which impaired non-homologus end joining (NHEJ). Collectively, our study reveals that OGA-mediated deglycosylation plays a key role in DNA damage repair.

Abstract
BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) that target BRAF V600E kinase, a driver mutation found in 50% of melanomas, show a significant antitumor response, but the common emergence of acquired resistance remains a challenge. Abnormal expression of RAF isoforms CRAF and ARAF reactivates pERK1/2, which plays crucial roles in the acquisition of resistance of melanoma cells. However, the mechanisms of dysregulation of RAF isoforms in resistant melanoma cells remain unknown. Here, we identified NONO interacted with and stabilized both CRAF and ARAF in melanoma cells, and that NONO was acetylated at 198K by p300 acetyltransferase, which stabilized NONO via antagonizing its ubiquitination/degradation mediated by RNF8. The upregulation of both p300 and NONO promoted the rebound of pERK1/2 and the subsequent resistance of melanoma cells to BRAFi, and the activation of ERK1/2 in turn induced p300 to form a positive feedback loop in resistant melanoma cells. There was a positive correlation between p300 and NONO in resistant melanoma cells and clinical samples, and p300 inhibitor C646 overcame the resistance of resistant melanoma cells to BRAF inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Our findings reveal that targeting the positive feedback loop of p300-NONO-CRAF/ARAF-pERK1/2 may be excellent strategies to overcome the resistance of BRAF inhibitors for melanoma patients.

Abstract
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly cytotoxic DNA lesions. To protect genomic stability and ensure cell homeostasis, cells mount a complex signaling-based response that not only coordinates the repair of the broken DNA strand but also activates cell cycle checkpoints and, if necessary, induces cell death. The last decade has seen a flurry of studies that have identified RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) as novel regulators of the DSB response. While many of these RBPs have well-characterized roles in gene expression, it is becoming increasingly clear that they also have non-canonical functions in the DSB response that go well beyond transcription, splicing and mRNA processing. Here, we review the current understanding of how RBPs are integrated into the cellular response to DSBs and describe how these proteins directly participate in signal transduction, amplification and repair at damaged chromatin. In addition, we discuss the implications of an RBP-mediated DSB response for genome instability and age-associated diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Background Radioiodide (131I) is commonly used to treat thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidis.131I released during nuclear accidents, have resulted in increased incidence of thyroid cancer in children. Therefore, a better understanding of underlying cellular mechanisms behind 131I exposure is of great clinical and radiation protection interest. The aim of this work was to study the long-term dose-related effects of 131I exposure in thyroid tissue and plasma in young rats and identify potential biomarkers. Materials and methods Male Sprague Dawley rats (5-week-old) were i.v. injected with 0.5, 5.0, 50 or 500 kBq 131I (Dthyroid ca 1–1000 mGy), and killed after nine months at which time the thyroid and blood samples were collected. Gene expression microarray analysis (thyroid samples) and LC-MS/MS analysis (thyroid and plasma samples) were performed to assess differential gene and protein expression profiles in treated and corresponding untreated control samples. Bioinformatics analyses were performed using the DAVID functional annotation tool and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). The gene expression microarray data and LC-MS/MS data were validated using qRT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. Results Nine 131I exposure-related candidate biomarkers (transcripts: Afp and RT1-Bb, and proteins: ARF3, DLD, IKBKB, NONO, RAB6A, RPN2, and SLC25A5) were identified in thyroid tissue. Two dose-related protein candidate biomarkers were identified in thyroid (APRT and LDHA) and two in plasma (DSG4 and TGM3). Candidate biomarkers for thyroid function included the ACADL and SORBS2 (all activities), TPO and TG proteins (low activities). 131I exposure was shown to have a profound effect on metabolism, immune system, apoptosis and cell death. Furthermore, several signalling pathways essential for normal cellular function (actin cytoskeleton signalling, HGF signalling, NRF2-mediated oxidative stress, integrin signalling, calcium signalling) were also significantly regulated. Conclusion Exposure-related and dose-related effects on gene and protein expression generated few expression patterns useful as biomarkers for thyroid function and cancer.

Abstract
Arginine methylation is an important posttranslational modification catalyzed by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). However, the role of PRMTs in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression is not well understood. Here we report that non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NONO) is overexpressed in CRC tissue and is a potential marker for poor prognosis in CRC patients. NONO silencing resulted in decreased proliferation, migration, and invasion of CRC cells, whereas overexpression had the opposite effect. In a xenograft model, tumors derived from NONO-deficient CRC cells were smaller than those derived from wild-type (WT) cells, and PRMT1 inhibition blocked CRC xenograft progression. A mass spectrometry analysis indicated that NONO is a substrate of PRMT1. R251 of NONO was asymmetrically dimethylated by PRMT1 in vitro and in vivo. Compared to NONO WT cells, NONO R251K mutant-expressing CRC cells showed reduced proliferation, migration, and invasion, and PRMT1 knockdown or pharmacological inhibition abrogated the malignant phenotype associated with NONO asymmetric dimethylation in both KRAS WT and mutant CRC cells. Compared to adjacent normal tissue, PRMT1 was highly expressed in the CRC zone in clinical specimens, which was correlated with poor overall survival in patients with locally advanced CRC. These results demonstrate that PRMT1-mediated methylation of NONO at R251 promotes CRC growth and metastasis, and suggest that PRMT1 inhibition may be an effective therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment regardless of KRAS mutation status.

The regulation of NONO by USP11 via deubiquitination is linked to the proliferation of melanoma cells. J Cell Mol Med 2020; 25:1507-1517. [PMID: 33369124 PMCID: PMC7875907 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.16243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 12/12/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Ubiquitin‐specific protease 11 (USP11) has been implicated in the regulation of DNA repair, apoptosis, signal transduction and cell cycle. It belongs to a USP subfamily of deubiquitinases. Although previous research has shown that USP11 overexpression is frequently found in melanoma and is correlated with a poor prognosis, the potential molecular mechanism of USP11 in melanoma remains indefinitive. Here, we report that USP11 and NONO colocalize and interact with each other in the nucleus of melanoma cells. As a result, the knockdown of USP11 decreases NONO levels. Whereas, overexpression of USP11 increases NONO levels in a dose‐dependent manner. Furthermore, we reveal that USP11 protects NONO protein from proteasome‐mediated degradation by removing poly‐ubiquitin chains conjugated onto NONO. Functionally, USP11 mediated melanoma cell proliferation via the regulation of NONO levels because ablation of USP11 inhibits the proliferation which could be rescued by ectopic expression of NONO protein. Moreover, a significant positive correlation between USP11 and NONO concentrations was found in clinical melanoma samples. Collectively, these results demonstrate that USP11 is a new deubiquitinase of NONO and that the signalling axis of USP11‐NONO is significantly involved in melanoma proliferation.

Abstract
NONO is a DNA/RNA-binding protein, which plays a critical regulatory role during cell stage transitions of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, its function in neuronal lineage commitment and the molecular mechanisms of its action in such processes are largely unknown. Here we report that NONO plays a key role during neuronal differentiation of mESCs. Nono deletion impedes neuronal lineage commitment largely due to a failure of up-regulation of specific genes critical for neuronal differentiation. Many of the NONO regulated genes are also DNA demethylase TET1 targeted genes. Importantly, re-introducing wild type NONO to the Nono KO cells, not only restores the normal expression of the majority of NONO/TET1 coregulated genes but also rescues the defective neuronal differentiation of Nono-deficient mESCs. Mechanistically, our data shows that NONO directly interacts with TET1 via its DNA binding domain and recruits TET1 to genomic loci to regulate 5-hydroxymethylcytosine levels. Nono deletion leads to a significant dissociation of TET1 from chromatin and dysregulation of DNA hydroxymethylation of neuronal genes. Taken together, our findings reveal a key role and an epigenetic mechanism of action of NONO in regulation of TET1-targeted neuronal genes, offering new functional and mechanistic understanding of NONO in stem cell functions, lineage commitment and specification.

Abstract
Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) reported to be frequently deregulated in various types of cancers and neurodegenerative processes. NEAT1 is an indispensable structural component of paraspeckles (PSs), which are dynamic and membraneless nuclear bodies that affect different cellular functions, including stress response. Furthermore, increasing evidence supports the crucial role of NEAT1 and essential structural proteins of PSs (PSPs) in the regulation of the DNA damage repair (DDR) system. This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge on the involvement of NEAT1 and PSPs in DDR, which might strengthen the rationale underlying future NEAT1-based therapeutic options in tumor and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein NONO/p54nrb , which belongs to the Drosophila behaviour/human splicing (DBHS) family, is a multifunctional nuclear protein rarely functioning alone. Emerging solid evidences showed that NONO engages in almost every step of gene regulation, including but not limited to mRNA splicing, DNA unwinding, transcriptional regulation, nuclear retention of defective RNA and DNA repair. NONO is involved in many biological processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and DNA damage repair. Dysregulation of NONO has been found in many types of cancer. In this review, we summarize the current and fast-growing knowledge about the regulation of NONO, its biological function and implications in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Overall, significant findings about the roles of NONO have been made, which might make NONO to be a new biomarker or/and a possible therapeutic target for cancers.

Abstract
Objectives RING finger protein 8 (RNF8) is an E3 ligase that plays an essential role in DSB repair. p53 is a well‐established tumour suppressor and cellular gatekeeper of genome stability. This study aimed at investigating the functional correlations between RNF8 and p53 in DSB damage repair. Materials and methods In this article, wild‐type, knockout and shRNA‐depleted HCT116 and U2OS cells were stressed, and the roles of RNF8 and p53 were examined. RT‐PCR and Western blot were utilized to investigate the expression of related genes in damaged cells. Cell proliferation, apoptosis and neutral cell comet assays were applied to determine the effects of DSB damage on differently treated cells. DR‐GFP, EJ5‐GFP and LacI‐LacO targeting systems, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry, IP, IF, GST pull‐down assay were used to explore the molecular mechanism of RNF8 and p53 in DSB damage repair. Results We found that RNF8 knockdown increased cellular sensitivity to DSB damage and decreased cell proliferation, which was correlated with high expression of the p53 gene. RNF8 improved the efficiency of DSB repair by inhibiting the pro‐apoptotic function of p53. We also found that RNF8 restrains cell apoptosis by inhibiting over‐activation of ATM and subsequently reducing p53 acetylation at K120 through regulating Tip60. Conclusions Taken together, these findings suggested that RNF8 promotes efficient DSB repair by inhibiting the pro‐apoptotic activity of p53 through regulating the function of Tip60.

Abstract
Genomic integrity of the cell is crucial for the successful transmission of genetic information to the offspring and its survival. Persistent DNA damage induced by endogenous and exogenous agents leads to various metabolic manifestations. To combat this, eukaryotes have developed complex DNA damage response (DDR) pathway which senses the DNA damage and activates an arsenal of enzymes for the repair of damaged DNA. The active pathways for DNA repair are nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER) and mismatch repair (MMR) for single-strand break repair whereas homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) for double-strand break repair. OGG1 is a DNA glycosylase which initiates BER while Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) protein complex is the primary responder to DSBs which gets localized to damage sites. DNA damage response is meticulously executed by three related kinases: ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK. ATM- and ATR-dependent phosphorylation of p53, Chk1, and Chk2 regulate the G1/S, intra-S, or G2/M checkpoints of the cell cycle, respectively. Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of DNA repair and maintains the cellular homeostasis. Genotoxic stress-induced altered autophagy occurs in a P53 dependent manner which is also the master regulator of genotoxic stress. A plethora of proteins involved in autophagy is regulated by p53 which involve DRAM, DAPK, and AMPK. As evident, the mtDNA is more prone to damage than nuclear DNA because of its close proximity to the site of ROS generation. Depending on the extent of damage either the repair mechanism or mitophagy gets triggered. SIRT1 is the master regulator which directs the stress response to mitophagy. Nix, a LC3 adapter also participates in Parkin mediated mitophagy. This review highlights the intricate crosstalks between DNA damage and cell cycle checkpoints activation. The DNA damage mediated regulation of autophagy and mitophagy is also reviewed in detail.

[PMID: 31366665 PMCID: PMC6719454 DOI: 10.1083/jcb.201902085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2019] [Revised: 06/12/2019] [Accepted: 07/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The essential kinase CHK1 controls cell cycle checkpoint signaling and S-phase progression. Michelena et al. reveal that steady-state activity of CHK1 is required to sustain its own stability and that failure to do so results in CHK1 degradation and sensitizes cells to replication stress. The DNA replication machinery frequently encounters impediments that slow replication fork progression and threaten timely and error-free replication. The CHK1 protein kinase is essential to deal with replication stress (RS) and ensure genome integrity and cell survival, yet how basal levels and activity of CHK1 are maintained under physiological, unstressed conditions is not well understood. Here, we reveal that CHK1 stability is controlled by its steady-state activity during unchallenged cell proliferation. This autoactivatory mechanism, which depends on ATR and its coactivator ETAA1 and is tightly associated with CHK1 autophosphorylation at S296, counters CHK1 ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation, thereby preventing attenuation of S-phase checkpoint functions and a compromised capacity to respond to RS. Based on these findings, we propose that steady-state CHK1 activity safeguards its stability to maintain intrinsic checkpoint functions and ensure genome integrity and cell survival.

Yoo W, Cho EB, Kim S, Yoon JB. The E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH2 regulates ERGIC3-dependent trafficking of secretory proteins. J Biol Chem 2019; 294:10900-10912. [PMID: 31142615 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.ra119.007435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2019] [Revised: 05/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
The E3 ubiquitin ligase membrane-associated ring-CH-type finger 2 (MARCH2) is known to be involved in intracellular vesicular trafficking, but its role in the early secretory pathway between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi compartments is largely unknown. Human ER-Golgi intermediate compartment protein 2 (ERGIC2) and ERGIC3 are orthologs of Erv41 and Erv46 in yeast, proteins that form a heteromeric complex, cycle between the ER and Golgi, and function as cargo receptors in both anterograde and retrograde protein trafficking. Here, we report that MARCH2 directs ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of ERGIC3 and that MARCH2 depletion increases endogenous ERGIC3 levels. We provide evidence that the lysine residues at positions 6 and 8 of ERGIC3 are the major sites of MARCH2-mediated ubiquitination. Of note, MARCH2 did not significantly decrease the levels of an ERGIC3 variant with lysine-to-arginine substitutions at residues 6 and 8. We also show that ERGIC3 binds to itself or to ERGIC2, whereas ERGIC2 is unable to interact with itself. Our results indicate that α1-antitrypsin and haptoglobin are likely to be cargo proteins of ERGIC3. We further observed that α1-antitrypsin and haptoglobin specifically bind to ERGIC3 and that ERGIC3 depletion decreases their secretion. Moreover, MARCH2 reduced secretion of α1-antitrypsin and haptoglobin, and coexpression of the ubiquitination-resistant ERGIC3 variant largely restored their secretion, suggesting that MARCH2-mediated ERGIC3 ubiquitination is the major cause of the decrease in trafficking of ERGIC3-binding secretory proteins. Our findings provide detailed insights into the regulation of the early secretory pathway by MARCH2 and into ERGIC3 function.
