Gene 2024; 908:148304. [PMID: 38387708 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148304] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Hereditary cancer syndromes result from the presence of inherited pathogenic variants within susceptibility genes. However, the susceptibility genes associated with hereditary cancer syndrome remain predominantly unidentified. Here, we reported a case of hereditary cancer syndrome observed in a Chinese family harboring a germline mutation in Tensin1 (TNS1). We described a 59-year-old female patient presented with Multiple myeloma and Thyroid carcinoma. The proband and her family members exhibited suspected tumor syndrome due to occurrences of other cancer cases. After oncogenetic counseling, whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were conducted and a primary driver mutation of TNS1 (NM_022648.7:c.2999-1G > C) was detected. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis revealed that TNS1 was expressed lower in different tumors when compared to normal, including Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Breast invasive carcinoma, Thyroid carcinoma andColon adenocarcinoma cells. Despite the well-established role of TNS1 as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer and colorectal cancer, its potential utility as a marker gene for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer remains uncertain. Here, our data demonstrated that knockdown of TNS1 could promote cell proliferation and migration in Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. In addition, TNS1 regulated migration through EMT signaling pathway in PDAC cells. Our findings proposed that this variant was likely involved in cancer predisposition by disrupting the normal splicing process. In summary, we presented a genetic disease by linking an intronic mutation inTNS1. We aim to provide early detection of cancers by identifying germline variants in susceptibility genes.

Cancer Gene Ther 2024:10.1038/s41417-024-00774-8. [PMID: 38649419 DOI: 10.1038/s41417-024-00774-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Exosomes are emerging mediators of cell-cell communication, which are secreted from cells and may be delivered into recipient cells in cell biological processes. Here, we examined microRNA (miRNA) expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. We performed miRNA sequencing in exosomes and cells of KYSE150 and KYSE450 cell lines. Among these differentially expressed miRNAs, 20 of the miRNAs were detected in cells and exosomes. A heat map indicated that the level of miR-451a was higher in exosomes than in ESCC cells. Furthermore, miRNA pull-down assays and combined exosomes proteomic data showed that miR-451a interacts with YWHAE. Over-expression of YWHAE leads to miR-451a accumulation in the exosomes instead of the donor cells. We found that miR-451a was sorted into exosomes. However, the biological function of miR-451a remains unclear in ESCC. Here, Dual-luciferase reporter assay was conducted and it was proved that CAB39 is a target gene of miR-451a. Moreover, CAB39 is related to TGF-β1 from RNA-sequencing data of 155 paired of ESCC tissues and the matched tissues. Western Blot and qPCR revealed that CAB39 and TGF-β1 were positively correlated in ESCC. Over-expression of CAB39 were cocultured with PBMCs from the blood from healthy donors. Flow cytometry assays showed that apoptotic cells were significantly reduced after CAB39 over-expression and significantly increased after treated with TGF-β1 inhibitors. Thus, our data indicate that CAB39 weakens antitumor immunity through TGF-β1 in ESCC. In summary, YWHAE selectively sorted miR-451a into exosomes and it can weaken antitumor immunity promotes tumor progression through CAB39.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease that requires new diagnostic and prognostic markers. Integrated bioinformatics approach to identify novel therapeutic targets associated with CRC. Using GEO2R identified DEGs in CRC, and Funrich software facilitated the visualization of DEGs through Venn diagrams. From a total of 114 enhanced DEGs, potential hub genes were further filtered based on their nodal strength and edges using STRING database. To gain insights into the functional roles of these hub genes, gene ontology and pathway enrichment were conducted thorough g: profiler web server. Subsequently, overall survival plots from GEPIA and oncogenic predictive functions like mRNA expressions for stages and nodal metastasis were employed to identify hub genes in CRC patient samples. Additionally, the cBioPortal and HPA databases also revealed genetic alterations and expression levels in these hub genes in CRC patients, further supporting their involvement in colorectal cancer. Gene expression by RT-PCR shows upregulation of hub genes in HT-29 cells. Finally, our integrated bioinformatic analysis revealed that ABCE1, AURKA, HSPD1, PHKA1, CDK4, and YWHAE as hub genes with potential oncogenic roles in CRC. These genes hold promise as diagnostic and prognostic markers for colorectal tumorigenesis, providing insights into targeted therapies for improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
The correct assembly of the spindle apparatus directly regulates the precise separation of chromosomes in mouse oocytes, which is crucial for obtaining high-quality oocytes capable of successful fertilization. The localization, assembly, migration, and disassembly of the spindle are regulated by a series of spindle-associated proteins, which exhibit unique expression level variations and specific localization in oocytes. Proteomic analysis revealed that among many representative spindle-associated proteins, the expression level of nucleolar and spindle-associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) significantly increased after meiotic resumption, with a magnitude of change higher than that of other proteins. However, the role of NUSAP1 during oocyte meiosis maturation has not been reported. Here, we report that NUSAP1 is distributed within the cell nucleus during the germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes with non-surrounded nucleolus stage and is not enriched in the nucleus during the GV-surrounded nucleolus stage. Interestingly, NUSAP1 forms distinct granular aggregates near the spindle poles during the prophase of the first meiotic division (Pro-MI), metaphase I, and anaphase I/telophase I stages. Nusap1 depletion leads to chromosome misalignment, increased aneuploidy, and abnormal spindle assembly, particularly a decrease in spindle pole width. Correspondingly, RNA-seq analysis revealed significant suppression of the "establishment of spindle orientation" signaling pathway. Additionally, the attenuation of F-actin in NUSAP1-deficient oocytes may affect the asymmetric division process. Gene ontology analysis of NUSAP1 interactomes, identified through mass spectrometry here, revealed significant enrichment for RNA binding. As an RNA-binding protein, NUSAP1 is likely involved in the regulation of messenger RNA homeostasis by influencing the dynamics of processing (P)-body components. Overall, our results demonstrate the critical importance of precise regulation of NUSAP1 expression levels and protein localization for maintaining mouse oocyte meiosis.

Abstract
Nucleolar and spindle-associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) is a potential molecular marker and intervention target for glioblastoma (GBM). In this study, we aim to investigate upstream regulatory lncRNAs and miRNAs of NUSAP1 through both experimental and bioinformatic methods. We screened upstream lncRNAs and miRNAs of NUSAP1 through multiple databases based on ceRNA theory. Then, in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to elucidate the relevant biological significance and regulatory mechanism among them. Finally, the potential downstream mechanism was discussed. LINC01393 and miR-128-3p were screened as upstream regulatory molecules of NUSAP1 by TCGA and ENCORI databases. The negative correlations among them were confirmed in clinical specimens. Biochemical studies revealed that overexpression or knockdown of LINC01393 respectively enhanced or inhibited malignant phenotype of GBM cells. MiR-128-3p inhibitor reversed LINC01393 knockdown-mediated impacts on GBM cells. Then, dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay were conducted to validate LINC01393/miR-128-3p/NUSAP1 interactions. In vivo, LINC01393-knockdown decreased tumor growth and improved mice survival, while restoration of NUSAP1 partially reversed these effects. Additionally, enrichment analysis and western blot revealed that the roles of LINC01393 and NUSAP1 in GBM progression were associated with NF-κB activation. Our findings showed that LINC01393 sponged miR-128-3p to upregulate NUSAP1, thereby promoting GBM development and progression via activating NF-κB pathway. This work deepens understanding of GBM mechanisms and provides potential novel therapeutic targets for GBM.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive interstitial lung disease of unknown etiology, characterized by diffuse alveolitis and alveolar structural damage. Due to the short median survival time and poor prognosis of IPF, it is particularly urgent to find new IPF biomarkers. Previous studies have shown that basement membranes (BMs) are associated with the development of IPF and tumor metastasis. However, there is still a lack of research on BMs-related genes in IPF. Therefore, we investigated the expression level of BMs genes in IPF and control groups, and explored their potential as biomarkers for IPF diagnosis. In this study, the GSE32537 and GSE53845 datasets were used as training sets, while the GSE24206, GSE10667 and GSE101286 datasets were used as validation sets. In the training set, seven immune biomarkers related to BMs were selected by differential expression analysis, machine learning algorithm (LASSO, SVM-RFE, Randomforest) and ssGSEA analysis. Further ROC analysis confirmed that seven BMs-related genes played an important role in IPF. Finally, four immune-related Hub genes (COL14A1, COL17A1, ITGA10, MMP7) were screened out. Then we created a logistic regression model of immune-related hub genes (IHGs) and used a nomogram to predict IPF risk. The nomogram model was evaluated to have good reliability and validity, and ROC analysis showed that the AUC value of IHGs was 0.941 in the training set and 0.917 in the validation set. Pan-cancer analysis showed that IHGs were associated with prognosis, immune cell infiltration, TME, and drug sensitivity in 33 cancers, suggesting that IHGs may be potential targets for intervention in human diseases including IPF and cancer.

Interactions between 14-3-3 Proteins and Actin Cytoskeleton and Its Regulation by microRNAs and Long Non-Coding RNAs in Cancer. ENDOCRINES 2022.

Abstract
14-3-3s are a family of structurally similar proteins that bind to phosphoserine or phosphothreonine residues, forming the central signaling hub that coordinates or integrates various cellular functions, thereby controlling many pathways important in cancer, cell motility, cell death, cytoskeletal remodeling, neuro-degenerative disorders and many more. Their targets are present in all cellular compartments, and when they bind to proteins they alter their subcellular localization, stability, and molecular interactions with other proteins. Changes in environmental conditions that result in altered homeostasis trigger the interaction between 14-3-3 and other proteins to retrieve or rescue homeostasis. In circumstances where these regulatory proteins are dysregulated, it leads to pathological conditions. Therefore, deeper understanding is needed on how 14-3-3 proteins bind, and how these proteins are regulated or modified. This will help to detect disease in early stages or design inhibitors to block certain pathways. Recently, more research has been devoted to identifying the role of MicroRNAs, and long non-coding RNAs, which play an important role in regulating gene expression. Although there are many reviews on the role of 14-3-3 proteins in cancer, they do not provide a holistic view of the changes in the cell, which is the focus of this review. The unique feature of the review is that it not only focuses on how the 14-3-3 subunits associate and dissociate with their binding and regulatory proteins, but also includes the role of micro-RNAs and long non-coding RNAs and how they regulate 14-3-3 isoforms. The highlight of the review is that it focuses on the role of 14-3-3, actin, actin binding proteins and Rho GTPases in cancer, and how this complex is important for cell migration and invasion. Finally, the reader is provided with super-resolution high-clarity images of each subunit of the 14-3-3 protein family, further depicting their distribution in HeLa cells to illustrate their interactions in a cancer cell.

Abstract
Tensins are a family of cellular-adhesion constituents that have been extensively studied. They have instrumental roles in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. The mammalian tensin family comprises four members: tensin1 (TNS1), tensin2, tensin3, and tensin4. Among them, TNS1 has recently received attention from researchers because of its structural properties. TNS1 engages in various biological processes, such as cell adhesion, polarization, migration, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis, and mechano-transduction, by interacting with various partner proteins. Moreover, the abnormal expression of TNS1 in vivo is associated with the development of various diseases, especially tumors. Interestingly, the role of TNS1 in different tumors is still controversial. Here, we systematically summarize three aspects of TNS1: the gene structure, the biological processes underlying its action, and the dual regulatory role of TNS1 in different tumors through different mechanisms, of which we provide the first overview.
