Tribbles Homolog 2 (Trib2), a Pseudo Serine/Threonine Kinase In Fang et al. Cell Commun Signal (2021) 19:41 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12964-021-00725-y REVIEW Open Access Tribbles homolog 2 (Trib2), a pseudo serine/ threonine kinase in tumorigenesis and stem cell fate decisions Yu Fang1,2*, Angelina Olegovna Zekiy3, Farhoodeh Ghaedrahmati4, Anton Timoshin5, Maryam Farzaneh6 , Amir Anbiyaiee7 and Seyed Esmaeil Khoshnam8 Abstract The family of Tribbles proteins play many critical nonenzymatic roles and regulate a wide range of key signaling pathways. Tribbles homolog 2 (Trib2) is a pseudo serine/threonine kinase that functions as a scafold or adaptor in various physiological and pathological processes. Trib2 can interact with E3 ubiquitin ligases and control protein sta- bility of downstream efectors. This protein is induced by mitogens and enhances the propagation of several cancer cells, including myeloid leukemia, liver, lung, skin, bone, brain, and pancreatic. Thus, Trib2 can be a predictive and valuable biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Recent studies have illustrated that Trib2 plays a major role in cell fate determination of stem cells. Stem cells have the capacity to self-renew and diferentiate into specifc cell types. Stem cells are important sources for cell-based regenerative medicine and drug screening. Trib2 has been found to increase the self-renewal ability of embryonic stem cells, the reprogramming efciency of somatic cells, and chondrogenesis. In this review, we will focus on the recent advances of Trib2 function in tumorigenesis and stem cell fate decisions.

Robine (Institut Curie, Paris, France). The EcoRI site in the multi cloning site was destroyed by fill in ligation with T4 polymerase according to the manufacturer`s instructions (New England Biolabs, Ozyme, Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France). Site directed mutagenesis (GeneEditor in vitro Site-Directed Mutagenesis system, Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France) was then used to introduce a BsiWI site before the start codon of the villin coding sequence using the 5’ phosphorylated primer: 5’CCTTCTCCTCTAGGCTCGCGTACGATGACGTCGGACTTGCGG3’. A double strand annealed oligonucleotide, 5’GGCCGGACGCGTGAATTCGTCGACGC3’ and 5’GGCCGCGTCGACGAATTCACGC GTCC3’ containing restriction site for MluI, EcoRI and SalI were inserted in the NotI site (present in the multi cloning site), generating the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. The SV40 polyA region of the pEGFP plasmid (Clontech, Ozyme, Saint Quentin Yvelines, France) was amplified by PCR using primers 5’GGCGCCTCTAGATCATAATCAGCCATA3’ and 5’GGCGCCCTTAAGATACATTGATGAGTT3’ before subcloning into the pGEMTeasy vector (Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France). After EcoRI digestion, the SV40 polyA fragment was purified with the NucleoSpin Extract II kit (Machery-Nagel, Hoerdt, France) and then subcloned into the EcoRI site of the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. Site directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a BsiWI site (5’ phosphorylated AGCGCAGGGAGCGGCGGCCGTACGATGCGCGGCAGCGGCACG3’) before the initiation codon and a MluI site (5’ phosphorylated 1 CCCGGGCCTGAGCCCTAAACGCGTGCCAGCCTCTGCCCTTGG3’) after the stop codon in the full length cDNA coding for the mouse LMα1 in the pCIS vector (kindly provided by P.

  • TRIB2 Functions As Novel Oncogene in Colorectal Cancer by Blocking
    Hou et al. Molecular Cancer (2018) 17:172 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12943-018-0922-x RESEARCH Open Access TRIB2 functions as novel oncogene in colorectal cancer by blocking cellular senescence through AP4/p21 signaling Zhenlin Hou1, Kaixuan Guo1, Xuling Sun1, Fuqing Hu1, Qianzhi Chen1, Xuelai Luo1, Guihua Wang1, Junbo Hu1 and Li Sun2* Abstract Background: Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell growth arrest and senescence cells permanently lose proliferation potential. Induction of cellular senescence might be a novel therapy for cancer cells. TRIB2 has been reported to participate in regulating proliferation and drug resistance of various cancer cells. However, the role of TRIB2 in cellular senescence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its molecular mechanism remains unclear. Methods: The expression of TRIB2 in colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The growth, cell cycle distribution and cellular senescence of colorectal cancer cells were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay, flow cytometry detection and senescence- associated β-galactosidase staining, respectively. Western blot, RT-PCR and luciferase assay were performed to determine how TRIB2 regulates p21. Immunoprecipitation (IP) and chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were used to investigate the molecular mechanisms. Results: We found that TRIB2 expression was elevated in CRC tissues compared to normal adjacent tissues and high TRIB2 expression indicated poor prognosis of CRC patients. Functionally, depletion of TRIB2 inhibited cancer cells proliferation, induced cell cycle arrest and promoted cellular senescence, whereas overexpression of TRIB2 accelerated cell growth, cell cycle progression and blocked cellular senescence. Further studies showed that TRIB2 physically interacted with AP4 and inhibited p21 expression through enhancing transcription activities of AP4.

Methods: Two array data sets of GSE19339 and GSE56885 were downloaded. The limma package was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in normal and CAD specimens. Examination of DEGs through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment and Gene Ontology annotation was achieved by Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). The Cytoscape software facilitated the establishment of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) was performed for the significant modules. Results: We identified 413 DEGs (291 up-regulated and 122 down-regulated). Approximately 256 biological processes, only 1 cellular component, and 21 molecular functions were identified by GO analysis and 10 pathways were enriched by KEGG. Moreover, 264 protein pairs and 64 nodes were visualized by the PPI network. After the MCODE analysis, the top 4 high degree genes, including interleukin 1 beta (IL1B, degree = 29), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1, degree = 25), Jun proto-oncogene (JUN, degree = 23) and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2, degree = 20) had been identified to validate in RT-PCR and Cox proportional hazards regression between CAD and normals. Conclusions: The relative expression of IL1B, ICAM1 and CCL2 was higher in CAD than in normal controls (P <0.05–0.

  • TRIB2 Confers Resistance to Anti-Cancer Therapy by Activating the Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase AKT
    ARTICLE Received 23 Nov 2015 | Accepted 23 Jan 2017 | Published 9 Mar 2017 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14687 OPEN TRIB2 confers resistance to anti-cancer therapy by activating the serine/threonine protein kinase AKT Richard Hill1,2,3, Patricia A. Madureira2, Bibiana Ferreira2, Ineˆs Baptista2, Susana Machado2, Laura Colac¸o2, Marta dos Santos2, Ningshu Liu4, Ana Dopazo5, Selma Ugurel6, Angyal Adrienn7, Endre Kiss-Toth7, Murat Isbilen8, Ali O. Gure8 & Wolfgang Link1,2,9 Intrinsic and acquired resistance to chemotherapy is the fundamental reason for treatment failure for many cancer patients. The identification of molecular mechanisms involved in drug resistance or sensitization is imperative. Here we report that tribbles homologue 2 (TRIB2) ablates forkhead box O activation and disrupts the p53/MDM2 regulatory axis, conferring resistance to various chemotherapeutics. TRIB2 suppression is exerted via direct interaction with AKT a key signalling protein in cell proliferation, survival and metabolism pathways. Ectopic or intrinsic high expression of TRIB2 induces drug resistance by promoting phospho- AKT (at Ser473) via its COP1 domain. TRIB2 expression is significantly increased in tumour tissues from patients correlating with an increased phosphorylation of AKT, FOXO3a, MDM2 and an impaired therapeutic response. This culminates in an extremely poor clinical outcome. Our study reveals a novel regulatory mechanism underlying drug resistance and suggests that TRIB2 functions as a regulatory component of the PI3K network, activating AKT in cancer cells. 1 Department of Biomedical Sciences and Medicine (DCBM), University of Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, Faro 8005-139, Portugal. 2 Centre for Biomedical Research (CBMR), University of Algarve, Campus de Gambelas, Faro 8005-139, Portugal.
