Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies in the world. Previous studies indicated that the expression of the KDM1 genes (KDM1s), members of the amine oxidase superfamily, has prognostic value for breast and prostate cancer and malignant neuroblastoma. This study aimed to investigate the expression of KDM1s, their prognostic value, and their correlation with immune infiltration in patients with HCC. METHODS Multiomics analyses were utilized to analyze differential expression, prognostic value, genetic alteration, and immune cell infiltration of KDM1s in patients with HCC. RESULTS The high expression of KDM1A indicated poor overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival, whereas the high expression of KDM1B was significantly associated with poor OS. The genetic alterations and biological interaction network of KDM1s may provide detailed information for the dysregulated function of KDM1s in patients with HCC. KDM1-related signaling pathways and miRNA targets were explored and may provide value as therapeutic targets or tumor progression markers. The increased mRNA expression of KDM1s was significantly correlated with the infiltration of diverse immune cells in HCC. CONCLUSIONS This data-driven study indicates that KDM1s are promising prognostic biomarkers for survival and have the potential to become novel molecular targets in HCC treatments.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2021; 119:499-507. [PMID: 34687883 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2021.10.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
High-mobility group 20 A (HMG20A) has important biological functions, such as inhibiting the differentiation of red blood cells and nerve cells, promoting the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells, and regulating inflammatory reaction. However, the role of HMG20A in the response to bacterial infection in the economic fish Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) remains unclear. In this study, a HMG20A homolog was successfully identified and characterized from Nile tilapia (On-HMG20A), and its expression model and biological effects on bacterial infection were analyzed. The open reading frame (ORF) of On-HMG20A was 876 bp in length, which encoded 291 amino acids and possessed a HMG domain (High mobility group domains) and coiled coil region. Results of the expression model showed that On-HMG20A was widely distributed in immune-related tissues of healthy tilapia and upregulated in a time-dependent manner after being challenged by Streptococcus agalactiae. Meanwhile, knocking down the expression of On-HMG20A can reduce the inflammatory response of tilapia and the degree of tissue damage caused by S. agalactiae. Moreover, knocking down the expression of On-HMG20A can reduce the bacterial load of tilapia tissues after being challenged by S. agalactiae and improve the survival rate. Collectively, these results showed that On-HMG20A may be related to the immune response of Nile tilapia against bacterial infection.

Abstract
Liver diseases are particularly severe health problems, but the options available for preventing and treating them remain limited. Accumulating evidence has shown that there is altered expression of individual histone deacetylase (HDAC) family members in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. In a previous study, we have identified a set of proteins which interact with histone deacetylase 1 and 3 (HDAC1/3) in hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2 by proteomic approach. This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic potential and expression of HDAC1/3-interacting genes in a human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2). Pharmacological and transcriptional inhibition of HDAC1/3 resulted in the suppression of cancer cell proliferation, change of cell morphology, and downregulation of HDAC1/3 genes in HepG2 cells. The pharmacological inhibition also resulted in inhibition of liver cancer cell migration by wound scratch assay. Taken together, the results from this study show that the upregulation of HDAC1/3 in hepatocellular carcinoma resulted in the overexpression of CNOT1, PFDN2/6, and HMG20B, and that these genes could serve as novel molecular targets in liver cancer.

TRIM E3 Ubiquitin Ligases in Rare Genetic Disorders. ADVANCES IN EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY 2020; 1233:311-325. [PMID: 32274764 DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-38266-7_14] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The TRIM family comprises proteins characterized by the presence of the tripartite motif composed of a RING domain, one or two B-box domains and a coiled-coil region. The TRIM shared domain structure underscores a common biochemical function as E3 ligase within the ubiquitination cascade. The TRIM proteins represent one of the largest E3 ligase families counting in human more than 70 members. These proteins are implicated in a plethora of cellular processes such as apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, muscular physiology, and innate immune response. Consistently, their alteration results in several pathological conditions emphasizing their medical relevance. Here, the genetic and pathogenetic mechanisms of rare disorders directly caused by mutations in TRIM genes will be reviewed. These diseases fall into different pathological areas, from malformation birth defects due to developmental abnormalities, to neurological disorders and progressive teenage neuromuscular disorders. In many instances, TRIM E3 ligases act on several substrates thus exerting pleiotropic activities: the need of unraveling disease-specific TRIM pathways for a precise targeting therapy avoiding dramatic side effects will be discussed.

Abstract
Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that consists of ubiquitin attachment to target proteins through sequential steps catalysed by activating (E1), conjugating (E2), and ligase (E3) enzymes. Protein ubiquitination is crucial for the regulation of many cellular processes not only by promoting proteasomal degradation of substrates but also re-localisation of cellular factors and modulation of protein activity. Great importance in orchestrating ubiquitination relies on E3 ligases as these proteins recognise the substrate that needs to be modified at the right time and place. Here we focus on two members of the TRIpartite Motif (TRIM) family of RING E3 ligases, MID1, and MID2. We discuss the recent findings on these developmental disease-related proteins analysing the link between their activity on essential factors and the regulation of cytokinesis highlighting the possible consequence of alteration of this process in pathological conditions.

MOLECULAR CELL RESEARCH 2017; 1864:1844-1854.

Abstract
MID1/TRIM18 is a member of the TRIM family of ubiquitin E3 ligases characterized by the presence of a conserved RING-containing N-terminal tripartite motif. Mutations in the MID1 gene have been associated with the X-linked form of Opitz Syndrome, a developmental disorder characterized by midline defects and intellectual disability. The effect of MID1 E3 ligase activity within the cell and the role in the pathogenesis of the disease is still not completely unraveled. Here, we report BRAF35, a non-canonical HMG nuclear factor, as a novel MID1 substrate. MID1 is implicated in BRAF35 ubiquitination promoting atypical poly-ubiquitination via K6-, K27- and K29-linkages. We observed a partial co-localization of the two proteins within cytoplasmic bodies. We found that MID1 depletion alters BRAF35 localization in these structures and increases BRAF35 stability affecting its cytoplasmic abundance. Our data reveal a novel role for MID1 and for atypical ubiquitination in balancing BRAF35 presence, and likely its activity, within nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments.
