Abstract
The WD repeat containing antisense to TP53 (WRAP53) gene codifies an antisense transcript for tumor protein p53 (TP53), stabilization (WRAP53α), and a functional protein (WRAP53β, WDR79, or TCAB1). The WRAP53β protein functions as a scaffolding protein that is important for telomerase localization, telomere assembly, Cajal body integrity, and DNA double-strand break repair. WRAP53β is one of many proteins known for containing WD40 domains, which are responsible for mediating a variety of cell interactions. Currently, WRAP53 overexpression is considered a biomarker for a diverse subset of cancer types, and in this study, we describe what is known about WRAP53β's multiple interactions in cell protein trafficking, Cajal body formation, and DNA double-strand break repair and its current perspectives as a biomarker for cancer.

Abstract
The influence of pesticide exposure in alteration of DNA methylation patterns of specific genes is still limited, specifically in natural antisense transcripts (NAT), such as the WRAP53α gene. The aim of this study was to determine the methylation of the WRAP53α gene in mestizo and indigenous populations as well as its relationship with internal (age, sex, and body mass index) and external factors (pesticide exposure and micronutrient intake). A cross-sectional study was conducted including 91 mestizo individuals without occupational exposure to pesticides, 164 mestizo urban sprayers and 189 indigenous persons without occupational exposure to pesticides. Acute pesticide exposure was evaluated by measurement of urinary dialkylphosphate (DAP) concentration by gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer. Anthropometric characteristics, unhealthy habits, and chronic pesticide exposure were assessed using a structured questionnaire. The frequency of macro- and micronutrient intake was determined using SNUT software. DNA methylation of the WRAP53α gene was determined by pyrosequencing of bisulfite-modified DNA. The mestizo sprayers group had the higher values of %5mC. In addition, this group had the most DAP urinary concentration with respect to the indigenous and reference groups. Bivariate analysis showed an association between %5mC of the WRAP53α gene with micronutrient intake and pesticide exposure in mestizo sprayers, whereas changes in %5mC of the WRAP53α gene was associated with body mass index in the indigenous group. These data suggest that the %5mC of the WRAP53α gene can be influenced by pesticide exposure and ethnicity in the study population, and changes in the WRAP53α gene might cause an important cell process disturbance.

Abstract
Proper repair of DNA double-strand breaks is critical for maintaining genome integrity and avoiding disease. Modification of damaged chromatin has profound consequences for the initial signaling and regulation of repair. One such modification involves ubiquitination by E3 ligases RNF8 and RNF168 within minutes after DNA double-strand break formation, altering chromatin structure and recruiting factors such as 53BP1 and BRCA1 for repair via non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR), respectively. The WD40 protein WRAP53β plays an essential role in localizing RNF8 to DNA breaks by scaffolding its interaction with the upstream factor MDC1. Loss of WRAP53β impairs ubiquitination at DNA lesions and reduces downstream repair by both NHEJ and HR. Intriguingly, WRAP53β depletion attenuates repair of DNA double-strand breaks more than depletion of RNF8, indicating functions other than RNF8-mediated ubiquitination. WRAP53β plays key roles with respect to the nuclear organelles Cajal bodies, including organizing the genome to promote associated transcription and collecting factors involved in maturation of the spliceosome and telomere elongation within these organelles. It is possible that similar functions may aid also in DNA repair. Here we describe the involvement of WRAP53β in Cajal bodies and DNA double-strand break repair in detail and explore whether and how these processes may be linked. We also discuss the possibility that the overexpression of WRAP53β detected in several cancer types may reflect its normal participation in the DNA damage response rather than oncogenic properties.

Abstract
Many drugs exert serious cytotoxic effects on pulmonary tissues. Although several reports have shown an association of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) with anticancer drug-induced lung injury, mechanisms of these effects are poorly understood. In the present study, we evaluated mechanisms of anticancer drug-induced EMT, with a focus on involvement of cell cycle arrest. We found that methotrexate (MTX) altered mRNA expression levels of many genes as determined by microarray analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that cell cycle arrest pathways may be associated with MTX-induced EMT. In addition, thymidine (THY) and nocodazole (NOC), which induce cell cycle arrest at S-phase and G2/M-phase, increased mRNA expression levels of α-smooth muscle actin (SMA), an EMT marker. Furthermore, α-SMA protein expression in cells arrested at S- and G2/M-phases by MTX and paclitaxel (PTX) was significantly higher than that in cells at G1. Notably, co-treatment of cells with THY or NOC and EMT-inducing anticancer drugs did not result in additional upregulation of α-SMA mRNA expression. These findings suggested that cell cycle arrest may be closely associated with anticancer drug-induced EMT in alveolar epithelial cells.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most prevalent and deadliest cancer worldwide. A significant part of lung cancer studies is dedicated to the expression alterations of non-coding RNAs. The non-coding RNAs are transcripts that cannot be translated into proteins. While the study of microRNAs and siRNAs in lung cancer received a lot of attention over the last decade, highly efficient therapeutic option or the diagnostic methods based on non-coding RNAs are still lacking. Because of this, it is of utmost importance to direct future research on lung cancer towards analyzing other RNA types for which the currently available data indicates that are essential at modulating lung tumorigenesis. Through our review of studies on this subject, we identify the following non-coding RNAs as tumor suppressors: ts-46, ts-47, ts-101, ts-53, ts-3676, ts-4521 (tRNA fragments), SNORD116-26, HBII-420, SNORD15A, SNORA42 (snoRNAs), piRNA-like-163, piR-35127, the piR-46545 (piRNAs), CHIAP2, LOC100420907, RPL13AP17 (pseudogenes), and uc.454 (T-UCR). We also found non-coding RNAs with tumor-promoting function: tRF-Leu-CAG, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Val (tRNA fragments), circ-RAD23B, circRNA 100146, circPVT1, circFGFR3, circ_0004015, circPUM1, circFLI1, circABCB10, circHIPK3 (circRNAs), SNORA42, SNORA3, SNORD46, SNORA21, SNORD28, SNORA47, SNORD66, SNORA68, SNORA78 (snoRNAs), piR-65, piR-34871, piR-52200, piR651 (piRNAs), hY4 5’ fragments (YRNAs), FAM83A-AS1, WRAP53, NKX2-1-AS1 (NATs), DUXAP8, SFTA1P (pseudogene transcripts), uc.338, uc.339 (T-UCRs), and hTERC.

Abstract
Lung cancer, of which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for ~85% of cases, remains a leading cause of cancer-associated mortality and morbidity worldwide. Tumor suppressor p53 is a master regulator of diverse cellular processes and is a therapeutic target in cancer. However, many aspects of its transcriptional regulation are still not well defined. WD repeat containing antisense to TP53α (Wrap53α) a newly identified natural antisense transcript of p53, can regulate p53 expression following DNA damage. The present study determined the methylation status of the Wrap53α promoter in primary lung tissues using methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction and evaluated its associations with clinicopathological features and survival in patients with NSCLC. The Wrap53α promoter was methylated in 12 (8.2%) of 146 malignant tissues. Its methylation was associated with the downregulation of its transcription and was frequently detected in patients with stages II-IIIA (P=0.03), and p53 mutation-negative cases (P=0.08). Methylation of Wrap53α promoter was associated with worse overall survival of total patients with a borderline significance [adjusted Hazard Ratio (HR)=2.44, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)=0.98-6.04, P=0.05]. Notably, Wrap53α promoter methylation significantly associated with poor overall survival in p53 mutation-negative patients (log-rank P=0.01, adjusted HR=2.92, 95% CI=1.00-8.60, P=0.05), but not in patients with p53 mutations. The results of the present study suggest that Wrap53α may serve a role in the pathogenesis of a subset of lung cancer, and its methylation may be considered to be a prognostic marker for surgically resected NSCLC patients. However, further studies with a larger sample size are required to confirm this finding.

Abstract
Ricolinostat (ACY-1215), a first-in-class selective HDAC6 inhibitor, exhibits antitumor effects alone or in combination with other drugs in various cancers. However, its efficacy in esophageal cancer remains unclear. In this study, we found that the high expression of HDAC6 was associated with poor prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues. Then, we identified that ACY-1215 significantly inhibited cellular proliferation in ESCC, and caused G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis. We further demonstrated that ACY-1215 treatment reduced the expression of PI3K, P-AKT, P-mTOR, and P-ERK1/2 and increased that of Ac-H3K9 and Ac-H4K8. In addition, using miRNA microarray and bioinformatics analysis, we detected that ACY-1215 promoted miR-30d expression, and PI3K regulatory subunit 2 (PIK3R2) was a direct target of miR-30d. Anti-miR-30d partially rescued the G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis caused by ACY-1215 treatment. The reductions in PI3K, P-AKT, and P-mTOR expression were also partially reversed by miR-30d inhibitor. Furthermore, the effects of ACY-1215 inhibited ESCC proliferation were validated in a mouse xenograft model in vivo. In conclusion, our study showed that ACY-1215 suppressed proliferation and promoted apoptosis in ESCC via miR-30d/PI3K/AKT/mTOR and ERK pathways and that ACY-1215 may be a promising antitumor agent in ESCC.

Abstract
WD repeat protein 79 (WDR79) is a member of the WD-repeat protein family characterized by the presence of a series of WD-repeat domains and is a scaffold protein that participates in telomerase assembly, Cajal body formation and DNA double strand break repair. Although previous studies have revealed that WDR79 is frequently overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and promotes the proliferation of NSCLC cells, the underlying mechanism responsible for WDR79-mediated NSCLC proliferation is not fully understood. In this study, we report a novel molecular function of WDR79 that mediates NSCLC cell proliferation by controlling the stability of UHRF1. In the nucleus, WDR79 colocalized and interacted with UHRF1. As a result, overexpression of WDR79 stabilized UHRF1, whereas ablation of WDR79 decreased the level of UHRF1. Meanwhile, we showed that WDR79 can protect UHRF1 from poly-ubiquitination-mediated proteolysis, which facilitated the stabilization of UHRF1. We further demonstrated that WDR79 exerts a proliferation effect on NSCLC cells by stabilizing UHRF1. These findings reveal that WDR79 is a novel UHRF1 regulator by maintaining UHRF1 stability, and they also provide a clue as to how to explore WDR79 for potential therapeutic application in NSCLC.
