Immunohistochemical Investigation into Protein Expression Patterns of FOXO4, IRF8 and LEF1 in Canine Osteosarcoma. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1945. [PMID: 38792023 PMCID: PMC11120020 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16101945] [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: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common type of primary bone malignancy in people and dogs. Our previous molecular comparisons of canine OSA against healthy bone resulted in the identification of differentially expressed protein-expressing genes (forkhead box protein O4 (FOXO4), interferon regulatory factor 8 (IRF8), and lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1)). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and H-scoring provided semi-quantitative assessment of nuclear and cytoplasmic staining alongside qualitative data to contextualise staining (n = 26 patients). FOXO4 was expressed predominantly in the cytoplasm with significantly lower nuclear H-scores. IRF8 H-scores ranged from 0 to 3 throughout the cohort in the nucleus and cytoplasm. LEF1 was expressed in all patients with significantly lower cytoplasmic staining compared to nuclear. No sex or anatomical location differences were observed. While reduced levels of FOXO4 might indicate malignancy, the weak or absent protein expression limits its primary use as diagnostic tumour marker. IRF8 and LEF1 have more potential for prognostic and diagnostic uses and facilitate further understanding of their roles within their respective molecular pathways, including Wnt/beta-catenin/LEF1 signalling and differential regulation of tumour suppressor genes. Deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in OSA are essential contributions towards the development of novel diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment options in human and veterinary medicine contexts.

Circular RNA hsa_circ_0032463 Acts as the Tumor Promoter in Osteosarcoma by Regulating the MicroRNA 498/LEF1 Axis. Mol Cell Biol 2021; 41:e0010021.

Abstract
Several studies have examined the relationship between osteosarcoma (OS) and microRNAs (miRNAs). However, only a few researchers have investigated the underlying mechanism of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in OS development. Our paper aimed to assess how hsa_circ_0032463 (abbreviated “circ_0032463” here) initiates and regulates OS progression. We detected circ_0032463 expression in OS tissues and cell lines by using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis and then investigated the interaction between circ_0032463, miRNA 489 (miR-498), and LEF1 using RNA pulldown, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and luciferase assays. The effect of the circ_0032463/miR-498/LEF1 axis on the migration, proliferation, and apoptosis levels of OS cells was explored using CCK-8, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), wound healing, and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) assays. Our findings revealed that circ_0032463 expression was upregulated in OS tissues and cell lines. We also found that circ_0032463 interacted with miR-498, thereby reducing the expression of miR-498 in OS cells. Experimental results indicated that miR-498 could directly target LEF1 in OS cells and that circ_0032463 could abrogate the tumor-inhibitory effect of miR-498 by upregulating LEF1 in OS. More specifically, by binding to miR-498 and inhibiting LEF1 expression, circ_0032463 promoted the migration and proliferation abilities of OS cells and suppressed the apoptosis ability of OS cells. Overall, this research suggested that circ_0032463 could promote OS development by regulating the miR-498/LEF1 axis.

Abstract
Cytoglobin is important in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma but the molecular and cellular basis remain to be elucidated. In the current study, we develop a new cell model to study the function of cytoglobin in oral squamous carcinoma and response to cisplatin. Transcriptomic profiling showed cytoglobin mediated changes in expression of genes related to stress response, redox metabolism, mitochondrial function, cell adhesion, and fatty acid metabolism. Cellular and biochemical studies show that cytoglobin expression results in changes to phenotype associated with cancer progression including: increased cellular proliferation, motility and cell cycle progression. Cytoglobin also protects cells from cisplatin-induced apoptosis and oxidative stress with levels of the antioxidant glutathione increased and total and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species levels reduced. The mechanism of cisplatin resistance involved inhibition of caspase 9 activation and cytoglobin protected mitochondria from oxidative stress-induced fission. To understand the mechanism behind these phenotypic changes we employed lipidomic analysis and demonstrate that levels of the redox sensitive and apoptosis regulating cardiolipin are significantly up-regulated in cells expressing cytoglobin. In conclusion, our data shows that cytoglobin expression results in important phenotypic changes that could be exploited by cancer cells in vivo to facilitate disease progression.

Abstract
Cytoglobin is an evolutionary ancient hemoglobin with poor functional annotation. Rather than constrained to penta coordination, cytoglobin's heme iron may exist either as a penta or hexacoordinated arrangement when exposed to different intracellular environments. Two cysteine residues at the surface of the protein form an intramolecular disulfide bond that regulates iron coordination, ligand binding, and peroxidase activity. Overall, biochemical results do not support a role for cytoglobin as a direct antioxidant enzyme that scavenges hydrogen peroxide because the rate of the reaction of cytoglobin with hydrogen peroxide is several orders of magnitude slower than metal and thiol-based peroxidases. Thus, alternative substrates such as fatty acids have been suggested and regulation of nitric oxide bioavailability through nitric oxide dioxygenase and nitrite reductase activities has received experimental support. Cytoglobin is broadly expressed in connective, muscle, and nervous tissues. Rational for differential cellular distribution is poorly understood but inducibility in response to hypoxia is one of the most established features of cytoglobin expression with regulation through the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Phenotypic characterization of cytoglobin deletion in the mouse have indicated broad changes that include a heightened inflammatory response and fibrosis, increase tumor burden, cardiovascular dysfunction, and hallmarks of senescence. Some of these changes might be reversed upon inhibition of nitric oxide synthase. However, subcellular and molecular interactions have been seldom characterized. In addition, specific molecular mechanisms of action are still lacking. We speculate that cytoglobin functionality will extend beyond nitric oxide handling and will have to encompass indirect regulatory antioxidant and redox sensing functions.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent type of cancer that starts in the bones, with a rather high tendency to metastasize to other bones at the early stages. Although many types of research have demonstrated that long noncoding RNAs commonly take part in the development of various cancers, the modulating mechanism of LEF1-AS1 in OS was unknown yet. In this study, our results disclosed that LEF1-AS1, as well as LEF1, had higher expression levels in OS cells than that in normal bone cells. LEF1-AS1 knockdown dramatically inhibited the proliferation, migration, as well as invasion in OS, which proved that LEF1-AS1 contributed to the growth of OS. Furthermore, HNRNPL knockdown suppressed the expression of LEF1. LEF1-AS1 was confirmed to sponge HNRNPL and HNRNPL could bind with LEF1. Both LEF1-AS1 and HNRNPL could enhance the stability of LEF1 mRNA. LEF1-AS1 acted as a promoter in stimulating the Wnt signaling pathway in OS. In rescue experiments, overexpression of LEF1 partially offset the inhibition LEF1-AS1 knockdown brought in the proliferation, migration as well as invasion of OS cells. Collectively, this study had investigated that LEF1-AS1 bound with HNRNPL to promote OS cell proliferation, migration as well as invasion by enhancing the messenger RNA stability of LEF1.

Abstract
Background Pancreatic cancer is characterized by its unsatisfying early detection rate, rapid disease progression and poor prognosis. Further studies on molecular mechanism and novel predictive biomarkers for pancreatic cancer based on a large sample volume are required. Methods Multiple bioinformatic analysis tools were utilized for identification and characterization of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from a merged microarray data (100 pancreatic cancer samples and 62 normal samples). Data from the GEO and TCGA database was utilized to validate the diagnostic and prognostic value of the top 5 upregulated/downregulated DEGs. Immunohistochemical assay (46 paired pancreatic and para- cancerous samples) was utilized to validate the expression and prognostic value of COL11A1, GJB2 and CTRL from the identified DEGs. Results A total number of 300 DEGs were identified from the merged microarray data of 100 pancreatic cancer samples and 62 normal samples. These DEGs were closely correlated with the biological characteristics of pancreatic cancer. The top 5 upregulated/downregulated DEGs showed good individual diagnostic/prognostic value and better combined diagnostic/prognostic value. Validation of COL11A1, GJB2 and CTRL with immunohistochemical assay showed consistent expression level with bioinformatics analysis and promising prognostic value. Conclusions Merged microarray data with bigger sample volume could reflect the biological characteristics of pancreatic cancer more effectively and accurately. COL11A1, GJB2 and CTRL are novel predictive biomarkers for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Lung metastasis is a major cause of mortality in patients with osteosarcoma (OS). A better understanding of the molecular mechanism of OS lung metastasis may facilitate development of new therapeutic strategies to prevent the metastasis. We have established high- and low-metastatic sublines (LM8-H and LM8-L, respectively) from Dunn OS cell line LM8 by using in vivo image-guided screening. Among the genes whose expression was significantly increased in LM8-H compared to LM8-L, the transcription factor lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) was identified as a factor that promotes LM8-H cell extravasation into the lungs. To identify downstream effectors of LEF1 that are involved in OS lung metastasis, 13 genes were selected based on LM8 microarray data and genomewide meta-analysis of a public database for OS patients. Among them, the cytoglobin (Cygb) gene was identified as a key effector in promoting OS extravasation into the lungs. CYGB overexpression increased the extravasation ability of LM8-L cells, whereas knocking out the Cygb gene in LM8-H cells reduced this ability. Our results showed a novel LEF1-CYGB axis in OS lung metastasis and may provide a new way of developing therapeutic strategies to prevent OS lung metastasis.
