Martens 2 & Bob van de Water1 1234567890():,; Ttriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and highly metastatic breast cancer subtype. Enhanced TNBC cell motility is a prerequisite of TNBC cell dissemination. Here, we apply an imaging-based RNAi phenotypic cell migration screen using two highly motile TNBC cell lines (Hs578T and MDA-MB-231) to provide a repository of signaling determinants that functionally drive TNBC cell motility. We have screened ~4,200 target genes individually and discovered 133 and 113 migratory modulators of Hs578T and MDA-MB-231, respectively, which are linked to signaling networks predictive for breast cancer progression. The splicing factors PRPF4B and BUD31 and the transcription factor BPTF are essential for cancer cell migration, amplified in human primary breast tumors and associated with metastasis-free survival. Depletion of PRPF4B, BUD31 and BPTF causes primarily down regulation of genes involved in focal adhesion and ECM-interaction pathways. PRPF4B is essential for TNBC metastasis formation in vivo, making PRPF4B a candidate for further drug development. 1 Division of Drug Discovery and Safety, LACDR, Leiden University, Einsteinweg 55, Leiden 2333 CC, Netherlands. 2 Department of Medical Oncology and Cancer Genomics Netherlands, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam 3008 AE, Netherlands.

  • NPI-0052 and Γ-Radiation Induce a Synergistic Apoptotic Effect In
    Frisira et al. Cell Death and Disease (2019) 10:785 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-019-2026-y Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access NPI-0052 and γ-radiation induce a synergistic apoptoticeffectinmedulloblastoma Eleni Frisira1, Fatima Rashid1,SwastinaNathVarma2,SaraBadodi1, Valentine Ayodele Benjamin-Ombo1, David Michod 2 and Maria Victoria Niklison-Chirou 1 Abstract Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant solid paediatric brain tumour. The standard treatment for MB is surgical resection of the tumour, radiation and chemotherapy. This therapy is associated with high morbidity and adverse side effects. Hence, more targeted and less toxic therapies are vitally needed to improve the quality of life of survivors. NPI-0052 is a novel proteasome inhibitor that irreversibly binds the 20S proteasome subunit. This compound has anti-tumour activity in metastatic solid tumours, glioblastoma and multiple myeloma with a good safety profile. Importantly, NPI-0052 has a lipophilic structure and can penetrate the blood–brain barrier, making it a suitable treatment for brain tumours. In the present study, we performed an in silico gene expression analysis to evaluate the proteasome subunit expression in MB. To evaluate the anticancer activity of NPI-0052, we used a range of MB patient- derived MB cells and cell lines. The synergistic cell death of NPI-0052 with γ-radiation was evaluated in tumour organoids derived from patient-derived MB cells. We show that high expression of proteasome subunits is a poor prognostic factor for MB patients. Also, our preclinical work demonstrated that NPI-0052 can inhibit proteasome activity and activate apoptosis in MB cells. Moreover, we observe that NPI-0052 has a synergistic apoptotic effect with γ-radiation, a component of the current MB therapy.

  • The Role of Protein Clearance Mechanisms in Organismal Ageing and Age-Related Diseases
    REVIEW Received 18 Mar 2014 | Accepted 24 Oct 2014 | Published 8 Dec 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6659 The role of protein clearance mechanisms in organismal ageing and age-related diseases David Vilchez1, Isabel Saez1 & Andrew Dillin2,3 The ability to maintain a functional proteome, or proteostasis, declines during the ageing process. Damaged and misfolded proteins accumulate with age, impairing cell function and tissue homeostasis. The accumulation of damaged proteins contributes to multiple age- related diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease. Damaged proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin–proteasome system or through autophagy-lysosome, key components of the proteostasis network. Modulation of either proteasome activity or autophagic-lysosomal potential extends lifespan and protects organisms from symptoms associated with proteostasis disorders, suggesting that protein clearance mechanisms are directly linked to ageing and age-associated diseases. he integrity of the proteome, or proteostasis, is challenged during the ageing process. Damaged proteins accumulate as a consequence of ageing and may ensue from the Taccumulation of reactive oxygen species and a progressive decline in the ability to maintain a functional proteome1. This demise in proteostasis is considered one of the hallmarks of ageing1 and contributes to multiple age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s (AD)2, Parkinson’s (PD)3 or Huntington’s disease (HD)4. Proteostasis is maintained by a network of cellular mechanisms that monitors folding, concentration, cellular localization and interactions of proteins from their synthesis through their degradation5. Chaperones assure the proper folding of proteins throughout their life cycle and under stress conditions but their activity declines with age (reviewed in refs 6–10).

Using a proteomic approach, we identified Host Cell Factor-1 (HCF1), a co-regulator of tran- O-GlcNAcylation scription, and O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), the enzyme that mediates protein O-GlcNAcylation, as cellular OGT partners of Nrf1a, an isoform of Nrf1. Nrf1a directly interacts with HCF1 through the HCF1 binding motif Transcription factor (HBM), while interaction with OGT is mediated through HCF1. Overexpression of HCF1 and OGT leads to Protein stability increased Nrf1a protein stability. Addition of O-GlcNAc decreases ubiquitination and degradation of Nrf1a. Transcriptional activation by Nrf1a is increased by OGT overexpression and treatment with PUGNAc. Together, these data suggest that OGT can act as a regulator of Nrf1a. 1. Introduction recognized as an essential co-factor for various transcription factors, and it is involved in regulating a plethora of cellular processes including O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) is a highly conserved enzyme that cell-cycle progression and gene expression [18–21].
