Fasting-induced RNF152 resensitizes gallbladder cancer cells to gemcitabine by inhibiting mTORC1-mediated glycolysis. iScience 2024; 27:109659. [PMID: 38706841 PMCID: PMC11068552 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2024.109659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Abnormal mTORC1 activation by the lysosomal Ragulator complex has been implicated in cancer and glycolytic metabolism associated with drug resistance. Fasting upregulates RNF152 and mediates the metabolic status of cells. We report that RNF152 regulates mTORC1 signaling by targeting a Ragulator subunit, p18, and attenuates gemcitabine resistance in gallbladder cancer (GBC). We detected levels of RNF152 and p18 in tissues and undertook mechanistic studies using activators, inhibitors, and lentivirus transfections. RNF152 levels were significantly lower in GBC than in adjacent non-cancer tissues. Fasting impairs glycolysis, induces gemcitabine sensitivity, and upregulates RNF152 expression. RNF152 overexpression increases the sensitivity of GBC cells to gemcitabine, whereas silencing RNF152 has the opposite effect. Fasting-induced RNF152 ubiquitinates p18, resulting in proteasomal degradation. RNF152 deficiency increases the lysosomal localization of p18 and increases mTORC1 activity, to promote glycolysis and decrease gemcitabine sensitivity. RNF152 suppresses mTORC1 activity to inhibit glycolysis and enhance gemcitabine sensitivity in GBC.

Membrane-Associated Ubiquitin Ligase RING Finger Protein 152 Orchestrates Melanogenesis via Tyrosinase Ubiquitination. MEMBRANES 2024; 14:43. [PMID: 38392670 PMCID: PMC10890620 DOI: 10.3390/membranes14020043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Lysosomal degradation of tyrosinase, a pivotal enzyme in melanin synthesis, negatively impacts melanogenesis in melanocytes. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanisms by which lysosomes target tyrosinase have remained elusive. Here, we identify RING (Really Interesting New Gene) finger protein 152 (RNF152) as a membrane-associated ubiquitin ligase specifically targeting tyrosinase for the first time, utilizing AlphaScreen technology. We observed that modulating RNF152 levels in B16 cells, either via overexpression or siRNA knockdown, resulted in decreased or increased levels of both tyrosinase and melanin, respectively. Notably, RNF152 and tyrosinase co-localized at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). However, upon treatment with lysosomal inhibitors, both proteins appeared in the lysosomes, indicating that tyrosinase undergoes RNF152-mediated lysosomal degradation. Through ubiquitination assays, we found the indispensable roles of both the RING and transmembrane (TM) domains of RNF152 in facilitating tyrosinase ubiquitination. In summary, our findings underscore RNF152 as a tyrosinase-specific ubiquitin ligase essential for regulating melanogenesis in melanocytes.

Abstract
Chemokines were originally defined as cytokines that affect the movement of immune cells. In recent years, due to the increasing importance of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME), the role of chemokines has changed from a single "chemotactic agent" to a key factor that can regulate TME and affect the tumor phenotype. CXCL6, also known as granulocyte chemoattractant protein-2 (GCP-2), can recruit neutrophils to complete non-specific immunity in the process of inflammation. Cancer-related genes and interleukin family can promote the abnormal secretion of CXCL6, which promotes tumor growth, metastasis, epithelial mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and angiogenesis in the TME. CXCL6 also has a role in promoting fibrosis and tissue damage repair. In this review, we focus on the regulatory network affecting CXCL6 expression, its role in the progress of inflammation and how it affects tumorigenesis and progression based on the TME, in an attempt to provide a potential target for the treatment of diseases such as inflammation and cancer.

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2023; 193:1603-1617.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a common subtype of primary lung cancer. Fatty acid oxidation plays a key role in LUAD development by providing energy for tumor cells. This study aimed to identify the role of ring finger protein 152 (RNF152) in LUAD. RNF152 was down-regulated in LUAD, and low RNF152 expression correlated with a poor prognosis in LUAD patients. RNF152 overexpression inhibited the proliferation and malignant phenotype of LUAD cells, whereas RNF152 knockdown exerted an opposite effect. Tumor cells overexpressing RNF152 showed less fatty acid oxidation compared with control cells, whereas RNF152 knockdown induced fatty acid uptake and oxidation. Further analysis revealed the binding reaction between RNF152 and interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1). RNF152 reduced the stability of IRAK1 in LUAD cells by promoting its ubiquitination. RNF152-overexpressed tumor cells exhibited a significantly lower level of Aldo-Keto reductase family 1 member 10 (AKR1B10), whereas up-regulation of IRAK1 restored the expression of AKR1B10 in RNF152-overexpressed cells. Furthermore, up-regulation of IRAK1 eliminated the antitumor effect of RNF152 in LUAD cells. Mouse xenograft models confirmed the inhibitory effect of RNF152 on the tumorigenesis and metastasis of LUAD. Taken together, RNF152 played a tumor suppressive role in LUAD by promoting IRAK1 ubiquitination and IRAK1-mediated down-regulation of AKR1B10, thereby reversing the malignant phenotype of LUAD.

Abstract
Stem cell therapy is a promising strategy to rescue visual impairment caused by retinal degeneration. Previous studies have proposed controversial theories about whether in situ retinal stem cells (RSCs) are present in adult human eye tissue. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as one of the most powerful tools to reveal the heterogeneity of tissue cells. By using scRNA-seq, we explored the cell heterogeneity of different subregions of adult human eyes, including pars plicata, pars plana, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), iris, and neural retina (NR). We identified one subpopulation expressing SRY-box transcription factor 2 (SOX2) as RSCs, which were present in the pars plicata of the adult human eye. Further analysis showed the identified subpopulation of RSCs expressed specific markers aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and tetraspanin 12 (TSPAN12). We, therefore, isolated this subpopulation using these two markers by flow sorting and found that the isolated RSCs could proliferate and differentiate into some retinal cell types, including photoreceptors, neurons, RPE cells, microglia, astrocytes, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and ganglion cells; whereas, AQP1- TSPAN12- cells did not have this differentiation potential. In conclusion, our results showed that SOX2-positive RSCs are present in the pars plicata and may be valuable for treating human retinal diseases due to their proliferation and differentiation potential.

Liang XJ, Huang ZS. Predictive value of preoperative C-reactive protein/serum albumin ratio and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase for early recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after resection. Shijie Huaren Xiaohua Zazhi 2021; 29:999-1005. [DOI: 10.11569/wcjd.v29.i17.999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, some studies have reported that increased C-reactive protein/serum albumin ratio (CRP/Alb) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) predict a poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after treatment; however, there are few studies on their predictive value for the prognosis after HCC resection.
AIM To evaluate the predictive value of preoperative CRP/Alb and GGT for early recurrence in patients with HCC after resection.
METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 80 initially treated patients who were pathologically confirmed as having hepatocellular carcinoma after radical resection at our hospital from January 1, 2016 to January 20, 2019 and then followed for the prognosis. The patients were divided into either an early recurrence group or a non-early recurrence group based on the presence of recurrence in 2 years or not. The χ2 test was used for univariate analysis, and Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate analysis. The tumor-free survival curves of independent risk factors were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank method was used to compare their difference.
RESULTS The best cut-off values of CRP/Alb and GGT were 0.041 and 75.5 U/L, respectively, according to the results of ROC curve analysis. The recurrence-free survival rates within 1 and 2 years were 70% and 56.25%, respectively, in this group of patients. Univariate analysis showed that microvascular invasion (MVI), CRP/Alb, and GGT were risk factors for early recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after resection. Multivariate analysis showed that MVI and GGT were independent risk factors for early recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after resection. The tumor-free survival time of HCC patients with MVI was significantly shorter than that of patients without (P < 0.001). The tumor-free survival time in the GGT > 75.5 U/L group was significantly shorter than that of the GGT ≤ 75.5 U/L group (P = 0.001).
CONCLUSION CRP/Alb, GGT, and MVI have potential predictive value for early tumor recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after resection.
