Deubiquitinase USP7 stabilizes KDM5B and promotes tumor progression and cisplatin resistance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma through the ZBTB16/TOP2A axis. Cell Death Differ 2024; 31:309-321. [PMID: 38287116 PMCID: PMC10923876 DOI: 10.1038/s41418-024-01257-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/12/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy improves the control of distant metastases in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC); however, around 30% of patients fail treatment due to acquired drug resistance. Epigenetic regulation is known to contribute to cisplatin resistance; nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we showed that lysine-specific demethylase 5B (KDM5B) was overexpressed and correlates with tumor progression and cisplatin resistance in patients with NPC. We also showed that specific inhibition of KDM5B impaired the progression of NPC and reverses cisplatin resistance, both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we found that KDM5B inhibited the expression of ZBTB16 by directly reducing H3K4me3 at the ZBTB16 promoter, which subsequently increased the expression of Topoisomerase II- α (TOP2A) to confer cisplatin resistance in NPC. In addition, we showed that the deubiquitinase USP7 was critical for deubiquitinating and stabilizing KDM5B. More importantly, the deletion of USP7 increased sensitivity to cisplatin by disrupting the stability of KDM5B in NPC cells. Therefore, our findings demonstrated that USP7 stabilized KDM5B and promoted cisplatin resistance through the ZBTB16/TOP2A axis, suggesting that targeting KDM5B may be a promising cisplatin-sensitization strategy in the treatment of NPC.

[PMID: 37664422 PMCID: PMC10469264 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1158839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, play a crucial role in intercellular communication and have emerged as important mediators in the development and progression of gastric cancer. This review discusses the current understanding of the role of EVs, particularly exosomal lncRNA and microRNA, in gastric cancer and their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Exosomes are small membrane-bound particles secreted by both cancer cells and stromal cells within the tumor microenvironment. They contain various ncRNA and biomolecules, which can be transferred to recipient cells to promote tumor growth and metastasis. In this review, we highlighted the importance of exosomal lncRNA and microRNA in gastric cancer. Exosomal lncRNAs have been shown to regulate gene expression by interacting with transcription factors or chromatin-modifying enzymes, which regulate gene expression by binding to target mRNAs. We also discuss the potential use of exosomal lncRNAs and microRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for gastric cancer. Exosomes can be isolated from various bodily fluids, including blood, urine, and saliva. They contain specific molecules that reflect the molecular characteristics of the tumor, making them promising candidates for non-invasive diagnostic tests. Finally, the potential of targeting exosomal lncRNAs and microRNAs as a therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer were reviewed as wee. Inhibition of specific molecules within exosomes has been shown to suppress tumor growth and metastasis in preclinical models. In conclusion, this review article provides an overview of the current understanding of the role of exosomal lncRNA and microRNA in gastric cancer. We suggest that further research into these molecules could lead to new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for this deadly disease.
