Received: 2018.09.05; Accepted: 2018.11.15; Published: 2019.01.01 Abstract Tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3) is a member of the mammalian pseudokinase tribbles family and is involved in multiple biological processes. However, the role of TRIB3 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the biological functions of TRIB3 in RCC and explore its underlying mechanisms. TRIB3 expression and its correlation with clinicopathological features was evaluated in 123 patients with RCC. A series of cytological experiments were performed to clarify the biological functions of TRIB3, and potential molecular regulatory mechanisms were explored using transcriptome sequencing. TRIB3 expression was significantly elevated in RCC tissues compared to that in paracancerous tissues, and high expression of TRIB3 was correlated with both advanced tumor stage and unfavorable prognosis. TRIB3 knockdown markedly inhibited RCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Furthermore, overexpression of TRIB3 promoted RCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and xenograft tumor growth. Notably, TRIB3 expression was modulated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), which enhanced cell viability and invasiveness via targeting the MAPK signaling pathway. This study reveals the potential oncogenic role of TRIB3 in RCC pathogenesis and illustrates the mechanisms underlying TRIB3-mediated tumor progression, providing new insight into the development of TRIB3 as a tumor biomarker and therapeutic target. Key words: Tribbles pseudokinase 3, renal cell carcinoma, cell proliferation, cell invasion, mitogen-activated protein kinases Introduction Tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3), a member of pathways. Interaction partners of TRIB3 include the tribbles-related family, contains the ubiquitin ligase, proteasomal degradation systems, substrate-binding domains but lacks the conserved autophagy, transcription factors, and members of the amino acid catalytic motifs essential for kinase MAPK-ERK, TGF-β, and JAG1/Notch signaling activity [1, 2]. Despite lacking these catalytic pathways [3-7]. Additionally, TRIB3 regulates a series structures, TRIB3 is a key regulator of a variety of of cellular processes, such as cellular stress response, cellular functions. TRIB3 can act as a scaffold or cell proliferation and differentiation, glucose and lipid adaptor to regulate multiple signal transduction metabolism, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition http://www.ijbs.com Int.

  • Critical Function of Siah2 in Tumorigenesis
    AIMS Molecular Science, 4(4): 415-423 DOI: 10.3934/molsci.2017.4.415 Received 31 July 2017, Accepted 21 September 2017, Published 11 October 2017 http://www.aimspress.com/journal/Molecular Review Critical function of Siah2 in tumorigenesis Kazunobu Baba, Tadaaki Miyazaki* Department of Probiotics Immunology, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, North 15 West 7, Kita-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido, Japan * Correspondence: Email: [email protected]; Tel: 81-011-706-8095. Abstract: The seven in absentia homolog (Siah) family proteins are components of E3 RING zinc finger ubiquitin ligase complexes that catalyze the ubiquitination of proteins. Siah proteins target their substrates for proteasomal degradation. Evidence is growing that Siah proteins are implicated in the progression of various cancer cells and play a critical role in angiogenesis and tumorigenesis, particularly through Ras, p53, estrogen, and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-mediated signaling pathways in response to DNA damage or hypoxia. Keywords: Siah2; Nrf2; ROS metabolism; Hypoxia 1. Introduction The seven in absentia (Sina) gene was initially identified to be critical for photoreceptor cell development in Drosophila [1]. As its mammalian orthologs, murine and human homologs of the Sina gene have also been identified. In Xenopus and mice, Sina homologs (Siahs) were isolated as three Siah proteins, Siah1a, Siah1b, and Siah2, which are encoded by different genes [2]. In contrast, the human Siah proteins consist of two homologs, Siah1 and Siah2, which are encoded by the SIAH1 and SIAH2 genes, respectively [3]. Siah1 and Siah2 have the high sequence similarity of their N-terminal RING finger domain, central cysteine-rich domain, and C-terminal substrate binding domain (SBD); however, Siah1 and Siah2 apparently have distinct but overlapping functions as proteins of a tumor suppressor gene and a proto-oncogene, respectively (Figure 1) [4].

The switch of GAPDH function, from what would be 20 considered as its main metabolic role, to its alternate activities, is often under the 21 influence of redox active compounds. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as 22 hydrogen peroxide, along with reactive nitrogen species (RNS), such as nitric oxide, 23 are produced by a variety of mechanisms in cells, including from metabolic 24 processes, with their accumulation in cells being dramatically increased under stress 25 conditions. Overall, such reactive compounds contribute to the redox signaling of the 26 cell. Commonly redox signaling leads to post-translational modification of proteins, 27 often on the thiol groups of cysteine residues. In GAPDH the active site cysteine can 28 be modified in a variety of ways, but of pertinence, can be altered by both ROS and 29 RNS, as well as hydrogen sulfide and glutathione.

Siah proteins have been described to be both oncogenic as well as tumor-suppressive in a variety of patient cohort studies and animal cancer models. This review collates the current knowledge of Siah in cancer progression and identifies potential methods of translation of these findings into the clinic. Furthermore, key experiments needed to close the gaps in our understanding of the role Siah proteins play in tumor progression are suggested. 2 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 29, 2021.

  • SIAH2-Mediated and Organ-Specific Restriction of HO-1 Expression by A
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN SIAH2-mediated and organ-specifc restriction of HO-1 expression by a dual mechanism Shashipavan Chillappagari1*, Ratnal Belapurkar1, Andreas Möller2, Nicole Molenda3, Michael Kracht4, Susanne Rohrbach3 & M. Lienhard Schmitz1* The intracellular levels of the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) are tightly controlled. Here, we reveal a novel mechanism preventing the exaggerated expression of HO-1. The analysis of mice with a knock-out in the ubiquitin E3 ligase seven in absentia homolog 2 (SIAH2) showed elevated HO-1 protein levels in specifc organs such as heart, kidney and skeletal muscle. Increased HO-1 protein amounts were also seen in human cells deleted for the SIAH2 gene. The higher HO-1 levels are not only due to an increased protein stability but also to elevated expression of the HO-1 encoding HMOX1 gene, which depends on the transcription factor nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a known SIAH2 target. Dependent on its RING (really interesting new gene) domain, expression of SIAH2 mediates proteasome-dependent degradation of its interaction partner HO-1. Additionally SIAH2-defcient cells are also characterized by reduced expression levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), rendering the knock-out cells more sensitive to ferroptosis. Ubiquitin E3 ligases regulate the activity and turnover of many target proteins, thus controlling key features such as metabolism, stress signaling and cell cycle progression1. Te RING family of ubiquitin E3 ligases comprises the SIAH family. Te human genome encodes SIAH1 and the homologous SIAH2 protein as well as SIAH3, which lacks a functional RING domain and is only expressed in a limited subset of cancer cell lines2.

Persistent accumulation of damaged mitochondria has been implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases. One highly conserved mechanism to clear damaged mitochondria involves the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin and PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1), which cooper- atively initiate the process called mitophagy that identifies and eliminates damaged mitochondria through the autophagosome and lysosome pathways. Parkin is a mostly cytosolic protein, but is rapidly recruited to damaged mitochondria and target them for mi- tophagy. Moreover, Parkin interactomes also involve signaling pathways and transcriptional machinery critical for survival and cell death. However, the mechanism that regulates Parkin protein level remains poorly understood. Here, we show that the loss of homeodo- main interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) in neurons and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) has a broad protective effect from cell death induced by mitochondrial toxins. The mechanism by which Hipk2 Ϫ / Ϫ neurons and MEFs are more resistant to mitochondrial toxins is in part due to the role of HIPK2 and its kinase activity in promoting Parkin degradation via the proteasome-mediated mecha- nism.

Cell Death and Disease (2018) 9:1049 DOI 10.1038/s41419-018-1082-z Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access PHF19 promotes the proliferation, migration, and chemosensitivity of glioblastoma to doxorubicin through modulation of the SIAH1/β–catenin axis Qing Deng1, Jianbing Hou1, Liying Feng1, Ailing Lv1, Xiaoxue Ke1, Hanghua Liang1,FengWang1,KuiZhang1, Kuijun Chen2 and Hongjuan Cui1 Abstract PHD finger protein 19 (PHF19), a critical component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), is crucial for maintaining the repressive transcriptional activity of several developmental regulatory genes and plays essential roles in various biological processes. Abnormal expression of PHF19 causes dysplasia or serious diseases, including chronic myeloid disorders and tumors. However, the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of PHF19 in glioblastoma (GBM) remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that PHF19 expression was positively associated with GBM progression, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, chemosensitivity, and tumorigenesis. Using XAV-939, a Wnt/β-catenin inhibitor, we found that the effects of PHF19 on GBM cells were β-catenin-dependent. We also demonstrated that PHF19 expression was positively correlated with cytoplasmic β-catenin expression. PHF19 stabilized β-catenin by inhibiting the transcription of seven in absentia homolog 1 (SIAH1), an E3 ubiquitin ligase of β-catenin, through direct 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; binding to the SIAH1 promoter region.

In this study, we char- Received 11 April 2010 acterized two splicing forms, Siah1a and Siah1b, of the Xenopus seven in absentia homolog 1 gene (Siah1). Available online 22 April 2010 Overexpression of xSiah1a led to severe suppression of embryo cleavage, while that of xSiah1b was not effective even at a high dose. Competition analysis demonstrated that co-expression of xSiah1a and 1b Keywords: generated the same phenotype as overexpression of xSiah1a alone, suggesting that xSiah1b does not Xenopus interfere with the function of xSiah1a. Since xSiah1b has an additional 31 amino acids in the N-terminus xSiah1a compared to xSiah1a, progressive truncation of xSiah1b from the N-terminus showed that inability of xSiah1b xSiah1b to affect embryo cleavage was associated with the length of the N-terminal extension of extra amino acids. The possible implication of this finding is discussed.
