AKAP95 regulates ubiquitination and degradation of cyclin Ds/Es, influencing the G1/S transition of lung cancer cells. Mol Carcinog 2024. [PMID: 38923703 DOI: 10.1002/mc.23781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
A-kinase anchoring protein 95 (AKAP95) functions as a scaffold for protein kinase A. Prior work by our group has shown that AKAP95, in coordination with Connexin 43 (Cx43), modulates the expression of cyclin D and E proteins, thus affecting the cell cycle progression in lung cancer cells. In the current study, we confirmed that AKAP95 forms a complex with Cx43. Moreover, it associates with cyclins D1 and E1 during the G1 phase, leading to the formation of protein complexes that subsequently translocate to the nucleus. These findings indicate that AKAP95 might facilitate the nuclear transport of cyclins D1 and E1. Throughout this process, AKAP95 and Cx43 collectively regulate the expression of cyclin D, phosphorylate cyclin E1 proteins, and target their specific ubiquitin ligases, ultimately impacting cell cycle progression.

AKAP8 promotes ovarian cancer progression and antagonizes PARP inhibitor sensitivity through regulating hnRNPUL1 transcription. iScience 2024; 27:109744.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the highest worldwide cancer mortality cause among gynecologic tumors, but its underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we report that the RNA binding protein A-kinase anchoring protein 8 (AKAP8) is highly expressed in ovarian cancer and predicts poor prognosis for ovarian cancer patients. AKAP8 promotes ovarian cancer progression through regulating cell proliferation and metastasis. Mechanically, AKAP8 is enriched at chromatin and regulates the transcription of the specific hnRNPUL1 isoform. Moreover, AKAP8 phase separation modulates the hnRNPUL1 short isoform transcription. Ectopic expression of the hnRNPUL1 short isoform could partially rescue the growth inhibition effect of AKAP8-knockdown in ovarian cancer cells. In addition, AKAP8 modulates PARP1 expression through hnRNPUL1, and AKAP8 inhibition enhances PAPR inhibitor cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer. Together, our study uncovers the crucial function of AKAP8 condensation-mediated transcription regulation, and targeting AKAP8 could be potential for improvement of ovarian cancer therapy.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a globally prevalent, progressive disease with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Because of its irreversible disease progression, IPF affects the quality and length of life of patients and imposes a significant burden on their families and social healthcare services. The use of the antifibrotic drugs pirfenidone and nintedanib can slow the progression of the disease to some extent, but it does not have a reverse effect on the prognosis. The option of lung transplantion is also limited owing to contraindications to transplantation, possible complications after transplantation, and the risk of death. Therefore, the discovery of new, effective treatment methods is an urgent need. Over recent years, various studies have been undertaken to investigate the relationship between interstitial pneumonia and lung cancer, suggesting that some immune checkpoints in IPF are similar to those in tumors. Immune checkpoints are a class of immunosuppressive molecules that are essential for maintaining autoimmune tolerance and regulating the duration and magnitude of immune responses in peripheral tissues. They can prevent normal tissues from being damaged and destroyed by the immune response. While current studies have focused on PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4, PD-1/PD-L1 may be the only effective immune checkpoint IPF treatment. This review discusses the application of PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint in IPF, with the aim of finding a new direction for IPF treatment.

Abstract
Objectives To assess A-kinase anchor protein 95 (AKAP95), B-Raf, extracellular regulated protein kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), and Elk-1 expression in colon cancer tissue, and characterize AKAP95 associations with B-Raf, ERK1/2, Elk-1, and colon cancer clinicopathological indices. Methods The immunohistochemistry streptavidin-perosidase (SP) method was used to determine protein expression levels in 64 colon cancer and 32 para-carcinoma tissue specimens. Results (1) Positive AKAP95 expression rates in colon cancer tissue were higher when compared with para-carcinoma tissue (92.19% vs. 59.38%, P < 0.05). Similar findings were determined for B-Raf (76.56% vs. 25%, P < 0.05), ERK1/2 (90.63% vs. 31.25%, P < 0.05), and Elk-1 levels (92.19% vs. 40.63%, P < 0.05). (2) No significant associations were identified between AKAP95, B-Raf, ERK1/2, and Elk-1 protein expression and degree of differentiation, histological type, and lymph node metastasis in colon cancer samples (P > 0.05); however, in The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets, AKAP95 was closely related to immune infiltration, and highly expressed AKAP95 was negatively associated with overall survival and relapse free survival rates in colon cancer patients. (3) Correlations were observed between AKAP95 and ERK1/2, AKAP95 and Elk-1, B-Raf and ERK1/2, B-Raf and Elk-1, and ERK1/2 and Elk-1 (all P < 0.05), but no correlation was observed between AKAP95 and B-Raf (P > 0.05). Conclusions AKAP95 may affect immune infiltration levels in colon cancer by participating in ERK1/2-Elk-1 signal transduction.

Abstract
Gap junctions (GJs), which are composed of connexins (Cxs), provide channels for direct information exchange between cells. Cx expression has a strong spatial specificity; however, its influence on cell behavior and information exchange between cells cannot be ignored. A variety of factors in organisms can modulate Cxs and subsequently trigger a series of responses that have important effects on cellular behavior. The expression and function of Cxs and the number and function of GJs are in dynamic change. Cxs have been characterized as tumor suppressors in the past, but recent studies have highlighted the critical roles of Cxs and GJs in cancer pathogenesis. The complex mechanism underlying Cx and GJ involvement in cancer development is a major obstacle to the evolution of therapy targeting Cxs. In this paper, we review the post-translational modifications of Cxs, the interactions of Cxs with several chaperone proteins, and the effects of Cxs and GJs on cancer. Video Abstract.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The detailed mechanism of the process during bone healing of drill-hole injury has been elucidated, but a crucial factor in regulating drill-hole healing has not been identified. The transcription factor p53 suppresses osteoblast differentiation through inhibition of osterix expression. In present study, we demonstrate the effects of p53 deficiency on the capacity of MSCs and osteoblasts during drill-hole healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts were collected from bone marrow and calvaria of p53 knockout (KO) mice, respectively. The activities of cell mobility, cell proliferation, osteoblast differentiation, and wound healing of MSCs and/or osteoblasts were determined by in vitro experiments. In addition, bone healing of drill-hole injury in KO mice was examined by micro-CT and immunohistological analysis using anti-osterix, Runx2, and sclerostin antibodies. RESULTS KO MSCs stimulated cell mobility, cell proliferation, and osteoblast differentiation. Likewise, KO osteoblasts enhanced cell proliferation and wound healing. KO MSCs and osteoblasts showed high potency in the inflammation and callus formation phases compared to those from wild-type (WT) mice. In addition, increased expression of osterix and Runx2 was observed in KO MSCs and osteoblasts that migrated in the drill-hole. Conversely, sclerostin expression was inhibited in KO mice. Eventually, KO mice exhibited high repairability of drill-hole injury, suggesting a novel role of p53 in MSCs and osteoblasts in improving bone healing. CONCLUSION p53 Deficiency promotes bone healing of drill-hole injury by enhancing the bone-regenerative ability of MSCs and osteoblasts.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most common and aggressive type of tumor of the female reproductive system. Two factors account for this detrimental clinical presentation: (i) the lack of early detection methods and (ii) the inherently aggressive nature of this malignancy. Currently, transcriptomic analyses have become important tools to identify new targets in different cancer types. In this study, by measuring expression levels in ovarian cancer samples and stem cell samples, we identified 24 tumor suppressor genes consistently associated with poor prognosis. Combined results further revealed a potential therapeutic candidate, BTG2, which belongs to the antiproliferative gene family. Our results showed that BTG2 expression regulated ovarian cancer cell proliferation via G1/S phase cell cycle arrest by regulating Cyclin D1, CDK4, p-AKT, and p-ERK expression. BTG2 also inhibited cell migration by modulating MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression. Furthermore, xenograft models confirmed a growth inhibitory effect of BTG2 in ovarian cancer in vivo. BTG2 was significantly associated with ovarian cancer FIGO stage and grade in the clinic. Our findings indicated that BTG2 exerts a suppressive impact on ovarian cancer and could be a potential biomarker.
