Abstract
Tripartite Motif 14 (TRIM14) is an oncoprotein that belongs to the E3 ligase TRIM family, which is involved in the progression of various tumors except for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However, little is currently known regarding the function and related mechanisms of TRIM14 in NSCLC. Here, we found that the TRIM14 protein was downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with the adjacent tissues, which can suppress tumor cell proliferation and migration both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, TRIM14 can directly bind to glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase 1 (GFAT1), which in turn results in the degradation of GFAT1 and reduced O-glycosylation levels. GFAT1 is a key enzyme in the rate-limiting step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP). Replenishment of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine can successfully reverse the inhibitory effect of TRIM14 on the NSCLC cell growth and migration as expected. Collectively, our data revealed that TRIM14 suppressed NSCLC cell proliferation and migration through ubiquitination and degradation of GFAT1, providing a new regulatory role for TRIM14 on HBP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we summarized published articles on the role of tripartite motif (TRIM) family members in the initiation and development of human malignancies. RECENT FINDINGS The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UP-S) plays a critical role in cellular activities, and UP-S dysregulation contributes to tumorigenesis. One of the key regulators of the UP-S is the tripartite motif TRIM protein family, most of which are active E3 ubiquitin ligases. TRIM proteins are critical for the biological functions of cancer cells, including migration, invasion, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Therefore, it is important to understand how TRIM proteins function at the molecular level in cancer cells. SUMMARY We provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview about the role TRIMs play in cancer progression and therapy resistance. We propose TRIM family members as potential new markers and targets to overcome therapy failure.

Abstract
The tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family members have been implicated in a multitude of physiologies and pathologies in different tissues. With diverse functions in cellular processes including regulation of signaling pathways, protein degradation, and transcriptional control, the impact of TRIM dysregulation can be multifaceted and complex. Here, we focus on the cellular and molecular roles of TRIMs identified in the brain in the context of a selection of pathologies including cancer and neurodegeneration. By examining each disease in parallel with described roles in brain development, we aim to highlight fundamental common mechanisms employed by TRIM proteins and identify opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by excessive accumulation of lipid peroxides, has become a promising strategy in cancer treatment. Cancer cells exploit antioxidant proteins, including Ferroptosis Suppressor Protein 1 (FSP1), to prevent ferroptosis. In this study, it is found that the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 bound to FSP1 and mediated its ubiquitination on K322 and K366 residues via K63 linkage, which is essential for its membrane translocation and ferroptosis suppression ability. It is further verified the protective role of the TRIM21-FSP1 axis in RSL3-induced ferroptosis in cancer cells and a subcutaneous tumor model. Moreover, TRIM21 is highly expressed in multiple gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, and its expression is further stimulated upon ferroptosis induction in cancer cells and the KPC mouse model. In summary, This study identifies TRIM21 as a negative regulator of ferroptosis through K63 ubiquitination of FSP1, which can serve as a therapeutic target to enhance the chemosensitivity of tumors based on ferroptosis induction.

Xia K, Zheng D, Wei Z, Liu W, Guo W. TRIM26 inhibited osteosarcoma progression through destabilizing RACK1 and thus inactivation of MEK/ERK signaling. Cell Death Dis 2023; 14:529. [PMID: 37591850 PMCID: PMC10435491 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-023-06048-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a highly aggressive malignant tumor that is common in the pediatric population and has a high rate of disability and mortality. Recent studies have suggested that the tripartite motif-containing family genes (TRIMs) play critical roles in oncogenesis in several cancers. TRIM26, one of the TRIMs family genes, was more frequently reported to exert a tumor-suppressive role, while its detailed functional roles in the osteosarcoma progression were still unknown and require further investigation. Herein, we found that TRIM26 was markedly downregulated in osteosarcoma tissues and cells. Survival analysis revealed that higher expression of TRIM26 was associated with better prognosis and its expression was an independent protective factor in osteosarcoma. Functional analysis demonstrated that overexpression of TRIM26 inhibited osteosarcoma cell proliferation and invasion via inhibiting the EMT process and MEK/ERK signaling. In contrast, the silence of TRIM26 caused the opposite effect. RACK1, a member of the Trp-Asp repeat protein family, was identified as a novel target of TRIM26. TRIM26 could interact with RACK1 and accelerate the degradation of RACK1, thus inactivation of MEK/ERK signaling. Overexpression of RACK1 could attenuate the inhibitory effect of TRIM26 overexpression on p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2, and silence of RACK1 could partly impair the effect of TRIM26 knockdown-induced upregulation of p-MEK1/2 and p-ERK1/2. Further, a series of gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that decreased malignant behaviors including cell proliferation and invasion in TRIM26-upregulated cells were reversed when RACK1 was overexpressed, whereas RACK1 knockdown diminished the increased malignant phenotypes in TRIM26-silenced osteosarcoma cells. In conclusion, our study indicated that TRIM26 inhibited osteosarcoma progression via promoting proteasomal degradation of RACK1, thereby resulting in inactivation of MEK/ERK signaling, and impeding the EMT process.
