Zhang X, Zhang X, Liu T, Sha K. Comprehensive analysis of the prognostic and immunological signature of TNFAIP8 family genes in human glioma. Sci Rep 2024; 14:17875. [PMID: 39090168 PMCID: PMC11294591 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-68784-y] [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: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
TNFAIP8 family molecules have been recognized for their involvement in the progression of tumors across a range of cancer types. Emerging experimental data suggests a role for certain TNFAIP8 family molecules in the development of glioma. Nonetheless, the comprehensive understanding of the genomic alterations, prognostic significance, and immunological profiles of TNFAIP8 family molecules in glioma remains incomplete. In the study, using the comprehensive bioinformatics tools, we explored the unique functions of 4 TNFAIP8 members including TNFAIP8, TNFAIP8L1, TNFAIP8L2 and TNFAIP8L3 in glioma. The expressions of TNFAIP8, TNFAIP8L1, TNFAIP8L2, and TNFAIP8L3 were notably upregulated in glioma tissues compared to normal tissues. Furthermore, survival analysis indicated that elevated expression levels of TNFAIP8, TNFAIP8L1 and TNFAIP8L2 were correlated with unfavorable outcomes in terms of overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and progression-free interval (PFI) among glioma patients. Genetic modifications, such as mutations and copy number alterations, within the TNFAIP8 family exhibited a significant association with extended OS, DSS and PFS in individuals diagnosed with glioma. The findings suggest a noteworthy correlation between TNFAIP8 family members and the age and 1p/19q codeletion status of glioma patients. We also found that there were significant relationships between TNFAIP8 family expression and tumor immunity in glioma. Furthermore, functional annotation of TNFAIP8 family members and their co-expressed genes in gliomas was carried out using GO and KEGG pathway analysis. The GO analysis revealed that the primary biological processes influenced by the TNFAIP8 family co-expressed genes included cell chemotaxis, temperature homeostasis, and endocytic vesicle formation. Additionally, the KEGG analysis demonstrated that TNFAIP8 family co-expressed genes are involved in regulating various pathways such as inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP channels, pathways in cancer, prolactin signaling pathway, and Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis. Overall, the findings suggest that TNFAIP8 family members may play a significant role in the development of glioma and have the potential to serve as prognostic indicators and therapeutic targets for individuals with glioma.

Tumor Necrosis Factor α-Induced Protein 8-Like 1 Binds to Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 1 to Suppress the Methylation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 and Cell Growth in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2024; 194:1126-1136.

Abstract
The tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8 (TIPE, also TNFAIP8 or OXi-α) family is a newly discovered series of proteins involved in immune regulation and tumorigenesis. TIPE1, a member of the TIPE/TNFAIP8/OXi-α family, has emerged as an anticancer-drug target, as it promotes cancer cell apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation. The current study aimed to systematically reveal that TIPE1 regulates the activity of protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT)-1 and the subsequent methylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3 to suppress oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) growth. TIPE1 was down-regulated in the OSCC cell lines (Tca8113, SCC25, Cal27, SCC15, and HSC27). TIPE1 overexpression significantly inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, in vivo tumorgenicity, and Ki-67 expression in OSCC. TIPE1 interacted with the catalytic region of PRMT1 and inhibited STAT3 methylation. The effects of TIPE1 on OSCC cells were alleviated after PRMT1 overexpression, confirming the importance of this interaction to the tumor-suppressive effects of TIPE1. Together, these findings confirmed that TIPE1 mediated PRMT1 suppression through direct binding to its catalytic domain and subsequently inhibited the methylation and expression of STAT3 in OSCC cells, thereby inhibiting cell growth and tumorgenicity.

Abstract
TNFAIP8L1, as a recently identified member in TNFAIP8 family, plays an important role in tumorigenesis. However, a pan-cancer analysis of TNFAIP8L1 in human tumors has not been conducted until now. The main purpose of study is to investigate TNFAIP8L1 during 33 different types of human tumors by using TCGA and GTEx. The pan-cancer analysis showed that TNFAIP8L1 was significantly over-expressed in 15 cancers and low-expressed in 9 cancers. There were distinct relations between TNFAIP8L1 expression and prognosis of patients with cancer. Furthermore, we also found that DNA methylation and RNA modification of TNFAIP8L1 were associated with many cancers. And then, we detected that TNFAIP8L1 level was positively associated with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in many tumors. And, we obtained that TNFAIP8L1 expression was related with most of immune inhibitory and stimulatory genes in multiple types of tumors. We also found TNFAIP8L1 expression was correlated with most of chemokine, receptor, MHC, immunoinhibitor and immunostimulator gens in most of cancers. Moreover, we detected TNFAIP8L1 expression was associated with TMB and MSI in several tumors. Finally, TNFAIP8L1 gene had a significant positive association with 5 genes including BCL6B, DLL4, PCDH12, COL4A1 and DLL4 in the majority of tumors. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses showed that TNFAIP8L1 in thepathogenesis of cancer may be related to "purine nucleoside binding," "purine ribonucleoside binding," "ECM-receptor interaction," etc. Our first pan-cancer study may provide a deep comprehending of TNFAIP8L1 in tumoeigenesis from different tumors.

Abstract
As a member of the tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8/TIPE) family, TIPE1 has been found to be associated with many cellular signaling pathways in regulating apoptosis, autophagy, and tumorigenesis. However, the position of TIPE1 in the signaling network remains elusive. Here we present the crystal structure of zebrafish TIPE1 in complex with phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) at a resolution of 1.38 Å. By comparison with structures of other three TIPE family proteins, a universal phospholipid-binding mode was proposed. Namely, the hydrophobic cavity binds to fatty acid tails, while 'X-R-R' triad nearby the entrance of cavity recognizes the phosphate group head. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we further elaborated the mechanism of how the lysine-rich N-terminal domain assisting TIPE1 to favorably bind to phosphatidylinositol (PI). Beside small molecule substrate, we identified Gαi3 as a direct-binding partner of TIPE1 using GST pull-down assay and size-exclusion chromatography. Analyses of key-residue mutations and predicted complex structure revealed that the binding mode of TIPE1 to Gαi3 could be non-canonical. In summary, our findings narrowed down TIPE1's position in Gαi3-related and PI-inducing signaling pathways.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

TIPE1 inhibits osteosarcoma tumorigenesis and progression by regulating PRMT1 mediated STAT3 arginine methylation. Cell Death Dis 2022; 13:815.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS), the most common primary malignancy of the bone, has a poor prognosis due to its high mortality rate and high potential for metastasis. Thus, it is urgently necessary to explore functional molecular targets of therapeutic strategies for osteosarcoma. Here, we reported that TIPE1 expression was decreased in osteosarcoma tissues compared to normal and adjacent nontumor tissues, and its expression was negatively related to tumor stage and tumor size. Functional assays showed that TIPE1 inhibited osteosarcoma carcinogenesis and metastatic potential both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we investigated that the STAT3 signaling pathway was significantly downregulated after TIPE1 overexpression. Mechanistically, TIPE1 bind to the catalytic domain of PRMT1, which deposits an asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) mark on histone/non-histone proteins, and thus inhibited PRMT1 mediated STAT3 methylation at arginine (R) residue 688. This abolished modification decreased STAT3 transactivation and expression, by which subsequently suppressed osteosarcoma malignancy. Taken together, these data showed that TIPE1 inhibits the malignant transformation of osteosarcoma through PRMT1-mediated STAT3 arginine methylation and ultimately decreases the development and metastasis of osteosarcoma. TIPE1 might be a potential molecular therapeutic target and an early biomarker for osteosarcoma diagnosis.

Abstract
TIPE1 is a gene in the TNFAIP8 family involved in immune regulation and tumorigenesis. Although previous studies demonstrated that TIPE1 might play different roles in different tumors, its expression and role in lymphoma are unclear. Here we observed TIPE1 expression in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Two microarrays containing 96 tumor tissue specimens were obtained from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University biobank. All specimens came from patients with a clear pathological diagnosis of lymphoma, lymphadenitis, breast cancer, or bladder cancer, and we performed immunohistochemical experiments on these tissue specimens. GEPIA and TIMER platforms were used for bioinformatic analyses. We found higher TIPE1 expression in tumor tissues from patients with lymphoma compared with those with lymphadenitis, breast cancer, or bladder cancer. The GEPIA and TIMER analyses revealed that TIPE1 was upregulated in DLBCL tissues but not in invasive breast carcinoma, urothelial bladder carcinoma, or liver hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. TIPE1 expression was irrelevant for pathological stage, overall survival, or DLBCL immune infiltration levels. However, TIPE1 expression was correlated with MKI67 expression in DLBCL. Overall, TIPE1’s high expression levels in DLBCL may contribute to tumor growth in DLBCL.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein eight like 1 (TIPE1) plays important role in autophagy, immunity, and lipid metabolism. The potential role of TIPE1 in fatty liver hemorrhage syndrome (FLHS) is elusory. In the present study, the full-length coding sequence of TIPE1 was cloned, and the polyclonal antibody of TIPE1 was produced by the recombinant TIPE1 protein. The bioinformatic analysis showed that the chicken TIPE1 protein, which was predicted to be a hydrophobic and non-transmembrane protein without signal peptide was highly different from that of mammals. Furthermore, proceeded by using TIPE1 polyclonal antibody, the tissue distribution analysis showed that TIPE1 protein is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues in adult hens and chicks, with its level being higher in the liver and, spleen, moderate in intestinal, brain, and heart. Besides, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence observation demonstrated that TIPE1 mainly existed in the cytoplasm in liver, duodenum, and cecum cell. Notably, the TIPE1 expressions were significantly decreased in laying hens suffering from FLHS. Collectively, these results showed that the chicken TIPE1 polyclonal antibody was successfully prepared and further used to analyze the expression profiles of chicken. And the expression of TIPE1 was reduced in FLHS which provided the foundation for further investigation in FLHS.

Abstract
Macrophages perform key and distinct functions in maintaining tissue homeostasis by finely tuning their activation state. Within the tumor microenvironment, macrophages are reshaped to drive tumor progression. Here we report that tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1) is highly expressed in macrophages, and that depletion of TIPE1 impedes alternative activation of macrophages. TIPE1 enhanced activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway in macrophages by directly binding with and regulating the metabolism of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3). Accordingly, inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway significantly attenuated the effect of TIPE1 on macrophage alternative activation. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in human liver cancer and melanoma tissues showed significantly upregulated TIPE1 expression that negatively correlated with patient survival. In vitro and in vivo, TIPE1 knockdown in macrophages retarded the growth and metastasis of liver cancer and melanoma. Furthermore, blockade or depletion of TGF-β signaling in macrophages abrogated the effects of TIPE1 on tumor cell growth and migration. Together, these results highlight that the phosphoinositide-related signaling pathway involves reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages to optimize the microenvironment for cancer progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Characterized by hepatocyte steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, NASH is a complicated process that contributes to end-stage liver disease and, eventually, HCC. TNF-α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1), a new member of the TNF-α-induced protein 8 family, has been explored in immunology and oncology research; but little is known about its role in metabolic diseases. APPROACH AND RESULTS Here, we show that hepatocyte-specific deletion of TIPE1 exacerbated diet-induced hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis as well as systemic metabolic disorders during NASH pathogenesis. Conversely, hepatocyte-specific overexpression of TIPE1 dramatically prevented the progression of these abnormalities. Mechanically, TIPE1 directly interacted with apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) to suppress its TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)-catalyzed polyubiquitination activation upon metabolic challenge, thereby inhibiting the downstream c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 signaling pathway. Importantly, dramatically reduced TIPE1 expression was observed in the livers of patients with NAFLD, suggesting that TIPE1 might be a promising therapeutic target for NAFLD and related metabolic diseases. CONCLUSIONS TIPE1 protects against hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis through directly binding ASK1 and restraining its TRAF6-catalyzed polyubiquitination during the development of NASH. Therefore, targeting TIPE1 could be a promising therapeutic approach for NAFLD treatment.

Abstract
Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signaling is central to colorectal cancer carcinogenesis. The well-known potential of targeting the canonical Wnt signaling pathway for the treatment of CRC is largely attributed to the ability of this pathway to regulate various cellular processes such as cell proliferation, metastasis, drug resistance, immune response, apoptosis, and cellular metabolism. However, with the current approach of targeting this pathway, none of the Wnt-targeted agents have been successfully implicated in clinical practice. Instead of using classical approaches to target this pathway, there is a growing need to find new and modified approaches to achieve the same. For this, a better understanding of the regulation of β-catenin, a major effector of the canonical Wnt pathway is a must. The present review addresses the importance of understanding the regulation of β-catenin beyond the destruction complex. Few recently discovered β-catenin regulators such as ZNF281, TTPAL, AGR2, ARHGAP25, TREM2, and TIPE1 showed significant potential in regulating the development of CRC through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in both in vitro and in vivo studies. Although the expression and activity of β-catenin is influenced by many protein regulators, the abovementioned proteins not only influence its expression and activation but are also directly involved in the development of CRC and various other solid tumors. Therefore, we hypothesise that focusing the current research on finding the detailed mechanism of action of these regulators may assist in providing with a better treatment approach or improve the current therapeutic regimens.

TIPE1 Suppresses Growth and Metastasis of Ovarian Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2021; 2021:5538911. [PMID: 34188681 PMCID: PMC8195659 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5538911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
TIPE1, a newly identified member in TIPE (TNFAIP8) family, plays an important role in tumorigenesis and immune regulation, but its role in ovarian cancer, especially in tumor metastasis, remains unknown. In the current study, we aimed to reveal the protein expression spectrum of TIPE1 in normal human tissues and explored its relationship with metastasis in ovarian cancer. The results of IHC staining showed that TIPE1 protein was not only detected in cytoplasm in most human tissues but also expressed in both cytoplasm and nucleus in squamous epithelium and some epithelial-derived cells with secretory functions, such as esophagus, cervix uteri and ovary, and thyroid gland. Moreover, TIPE1 protein was downregulated in ovarian cancer tissues compared with that in the paracancerous. More importantly, TIPE1 suppressed tumorigenesis and metastasis of ovarian cancer in vitro and in vivo, as evidence shows its ability to suppress growth, colony formation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of ovarian cancer. Taken together, our results demonstrate the suppressor role of TIPE1 in ovarian cancer metastasis, indicating TIPE1 might be a metastasis predictor and a novel therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.

Human tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein eight-like 1 exhibited potent anti-tumor effect through modulation of proliferation, survival, migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. Mol Cell Biochem 2021; 476:3303-3318. [PMID: 33895911 DOI: 10.1007/s11010-021-04060-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Lung cancer represents one of the most prevalent neoplasms across the globe. Tobacco smoking, exposure to different occupational and environmental carcinogens, and various dietary factors are strongly implicated in the development of lung cancer. The 5-year survival rate of lung cancer is extremely poor which can be attributed to its propensity for early spread, lack of appropriate biomarkers and proper therapeutic strategies for this aggressive neoplasm. Emerging evidence suggests tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein eight like 1 (TIPE1 or TNFAIP8L1), which functions as a cell death regulator, to hold high prospect as an important biomarker. Interestingly, this protein was found to be significantly downregulated in human lung cancer tissues compared to normal lung tissues. In addition, this protein exerted marked downregulation in different stages and grades of lung tumor. Further knockout of TIPE1 led to the enhancement in proliferation, survival, migration and invasion of NCIH460 human lung cancer cells through modulation of Akt/mTOR/STAT-3 signaling cascade. In addition, TIPE1 was found to be involved in nicotine, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, N-nitrosonornicotine and benzo[a]pyrene-mediated lung cancer through enhanced proliferation, survival and migration of lung cancer cells. Altogether, this newly identified protein plays a critical role in lung cancer pathogenesis and possess enormous prospect to serve as an important tool in the effective management of this aggressive neoplasm.

Abstract
Previous studies have revealed that TIPE1 serves as a tumor suppressor gene in several tumor types. However, we demonstrated that TIPE1 can promote cervical cancer proliferation by suppressing p53 activity. Here, we showed that TIPE1 inhibits cervical cancer cell apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, we revealed that TIPE1 facilitates chemoresistance in a wild-type p53-dependent manner. The results indicated that TIPE1 is responsible for the transition from chemosensitivity to chemoresistance, and that it can serve as a promising target in cervical cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1) functions as a tumor suppressor in several types of cancer, including lung and breast cancer. The present study aimed to determine the level of expression and the function of TIPE1 in ovarian cancer. TIPE1 expression was determined in tissue microarrays and ovarian cancer cells, and these data were analyzed to assess the association between TIPE1 expression and prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. The potential antitumor effects of TIPE1 were investigated in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model. Furthermore, the underlying molecular mechanism by which TIPE1 regulates ovarian cancer growth was determined via flow cytometric analysis, western blotting and rescue experiments. The results of the present study indicated that TIPE1 levels were markedly decreased in ovarian cancer tissues, and its level of expression was associated with a favorable prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. In addition, ectopic TIPE1 expression significantly impaired A2780 and SKOV3 cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro, which was accompanied by efficient inhibition of xenograft tumor growth in mice. Investigations into the underlying molecular mechanism demonstrated that TIPE1 induced ovarian cancer cell apoptosis by promoting caspase protein expression. Inhibition of caspase-dependent apoptosis by z-VAD blocked TIPE1-mediated inhibition of the proliferation and induction of apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that TIPE1 may be a potential prognostic predictor and therapeutic target for patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that tumour necrosis factor‐α–induced protein 8 like‐1(TIPE1) plays distinct roles in different cancers. TIPE1 inhibits tumour proliferation and metastasis in a variety of tumours but acts as an oncogene in cervical cancer. The role of TIPE1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unknown. Interestingly, TIPE1 expression was remarkably increased in NPC tissue samples compared to adjacent normal nasopharyngeal epithelial tissue samples in our study. TIPE1 expression was positively correlated with that of the proliferation marker Ki67 and negatively correlated with patient lifespan. In vitro, TIPE1 inhibited autophagy and induced cell proliferation in TIPE1‐overexpressing CNE‐1 and CNE‐2Z cells. In addition, knocking down TIPE1 expression promoted autophagy and decreased proliferation, whereas overexpressing TIPE1 increased the levels of pmTOR, pS6 and P62 and decreased the level of pAMPK and the LC3B. Furthermore, the decrease in autophagy was remarkably rescued in TIPE1‐overexpressing CNE‐1 and CNE‐2Z cells treated with the AMPK activator AICAR. In addition, TIPE1 promoted tumour growth in BALB/c nude mice. Taken together, results indicate that TIPE1 promotes NPC progression by inhibiting autophagy and inducing cell proliferation via the AMPK/mTOR signalling pathway. Thus, TIPE1 could potentially be used as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for NPC.

TIPE1 accelerates atherogenesis by inducing endothelial dysfunction in response to oxidative stress. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2020; 1866:165578. [PMID: 31672550 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2019.165578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2019] [Revised: 09/16/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the arterial wall, which involves endothelial cells and immune cells. Endothelial dysfunction has been considered an important step in the initiation of the disease. TIPE1 is a newly identified protein of the TIPE family, and plays a vital role in inflammation and tumorigenesis. However, its role in atherogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that TIPE1 promoted atherogenesis by inducing endothelial dysfunction. When human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to oxidative stress, the level of TIPE1 was significantly up-regulated, and the ROS generation markedly increased in TIPE1 over-expressing HUVECs. As a result, the growth of HUVECs was inhibited, and the apoptosis was enhanced. However, the cell contact ability between HUVECs and THP-1 cells were augmented due to the up-regulation of adhesion molecules such as E-selectin and ICAM-1 induced by TIPE1 overexpression. Importantly, ApoE-/- mice injected with TIPE1 recombinant lentivirus developed significantly severe atherosclerosis accompanied by hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia and increased white blood count. These findings indicated that excessive ROS induced by the overexpression of TIPE1 in endothelial cells accelerated the process of atherogenesis.
