Abstract Purpose: The resistance to differentiation therapy and early death caused by fatal bleeding endangers the health of a significant proportion of APL patients. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms of ATRA resistance and uncover new potential therapeutic strategies to block the rapid progression of early death. Experimental design: The important role of TWIST1 in APL leukemogenesis was first determined by gain- and loss-of-function assays. We then performed in vivo and in vitro experiments to explore the interaction of TWIST1 and TRIB3 and develop a potential peptide-initiated therapeutic opportunity to protect against early death and induction therapy resistance in patients with APL. Results: We found that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-inducing transcription factor TWIST1 is highly expressed in APL cells and is critical for leukemic cell survival. TWIST1 and TRIB3 were highly co-expressed in APL cells compared with other subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. We subsequently demonstrated that TRIB3 could bind to the WR domain of TWIST1 and contribute to its stabilization by inhibiting its ubiquitination. TRIB3 depletion promoting TWIST1 degradation reverses resistance to induction therapy and improves sensitivity to ATRA. Based on a detailed functional screen of synthetic peptides, we discovered a peptide analogous to the TWIST1 WR domain that specifically represses APL cell survival by disrupting the TRIB3/TWIST1 interaction. Conclusions: Our data not only define the essential role of TWIST1 as an EMT-TF in APL patients but also suggest that disrupting the TRIB3/TWIST1 interaction reverses induction therapy resistance and blocks rapid progression of APL early death. 2 Downloaded from clincancerres.aacrjournals.org on October 1, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

Translational Relevance This study was designed to improve the treatment for high-risk APL patients. This proportion of APL patients continued to suffer from early fatal bleeding and leukemic extramedullary infiltration, which remains the most important challenge and the largest obstacle to curing all APL patients. We demonstrate that the unique EMT-inducing transcription factor TWIST1 is significantly highly expressed in APL and governs the survival of APL cells. We show that TRIB3 interacts with TWIST1 and stabilizes high TWIST1 expression by repressing TWIST1 ubiquitination. Our data also suggest that a peptide similar to the WR domain disturbs the TRIB3/TWIST1 interaction, impairs rapid progression during the early death of APL and reverses resistance to ATRA therapy. These results reveal the important role of a specific oncogenic transcriptional factor, TWIST1, in APL leukemogenesis and suggest a potential peptide-initiated therapeutic opportunity to protect against early death and induction therapy resistance in patients with APL. 3 Downloaded from clincancerres.aacrjournals.org on October 1, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

Introduction Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), which accounts for 10-15% of AML cases, is characterized by the t(15; 17) chromosomal translocation and is now highly curable by the combination of granulocytic differentiation induction and the PML-RARα oncoprotein-targeted agents all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) (1,2). Despite the striking molecular complete remission (CR) and the very few cases of relapse associated with ATRA/ATO-based regimens, mortality events typically result from early fatal bleeding, which remains the most important challenge and the largest obstacle to curing all APL patients (3). For instance, several studies have reported that the risk of early hemorrhagic death (HD) reaches an incidence of 10-20% during the first month of induction (4-6). Importantly, APL patients with a high white blood cell count face an increased risk of early HD (7). Furthermore, resistance to ATRA/ATO treatment with PML-RARα mutations still remains a therapeutic challenge for a significant proportion of APL patients. Thus, we need to better understand the molecular mechanism of APL pathogenesis and design more effective therapeutic strategies to block the rapid progression of early death and overcome resistance. Oncogenic transcription factors play an important role in the development of hematological malignancy (8,9). The dysregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition-inducing transcription factors (EMT-TFs), including SNAI1/SNAI2, ZEB1/ZEB2 and TWIST1/TWIST2, has also been explored within the context of the aggressive invasion, chemoresistance and poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (10-12). TWIST1, a highly conserved basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein, is a well-characterized EMT-TF that plays a critical role in embryonic development and cancer metastasis (13,14). Recent studies have shown that TWIST1 is overexpressed in primary AML samples (15). Our previous study reported that high expression of TWIST1 in AML contributes to extramedullary infiltration and promotes leukemic aggressiveness (16). These findings strongly suggest that 4 Downloaded from clincancerres.aacrjournals.org on October 1, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

However, the prognosis of AML patients with high TWIST1 expression is controversial based on several reports (15,17). These conflicting reports likely occurred because TWIST1 expression in AML is heterogeneous (18). TWIST1 expression is higher in APL, an intriguing AML subtype in which successful clinical tumor differentiation-induction therapy has been applied and for which the clinical phenotype is inconsistent with the expression level of TWIST1 (15,18). In this study, we demonstrate that the EMT-TF TWIST1 is significantly highly expressed in APL and governs the survival of APL cells. We show that TRIB3 interacts with TWIST1 and stabilizes high TWIST1 expression by repressing TWIST1 ubiquitination. Our data also suggest that a peptide similar to the WR domain disturbs the TRIB3/TWIST1 interaction, impairs rapid progression during the early death of APL and reverses resistance to ATRA therapy. These results contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanism of APL pathogenesis and will allow for designing more effective therapeutic strategies to block the rapid progression of early death and overcome resistance.

  • 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.

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.

    Kiessling et al. BMC Genomics (2016) 17:723 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-3042-2 METHODOLOGY ARTICLE Open Access Identification of oncogenic driver mutations by genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 dropout screening Michael K. Kiessling1, Sven Schuierer2, Silke Stertz3, Martin Beibel2, Sebastian Bergling2, Judith Knehr2, Walter Carbone2, Cheryl de Vallière1, Joelle Tchinda4, Tewis Bouwmeester2, Klaus Seuwen2, Gerhard Rogler1*† and Guglielmo Roma2*† Abstract Background: Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 dropout screens can identify genes whose knockout affects cell viability. Recent CRISPR screens detected thousands of essential genes required for cellular survival and key cellular processes; however discovering novel lineage-specific genetic dependencies from the many hits still remains a challenge. Results: To assess whether CRISPR-Cas9 dropout screens can help identify cancer dependencies, we screened two human cancer cell lines carrying known and distinct oncogenic mutations using a genome-wide sgRNA library. We found that the gRNA targeting the driver mutation EGFR was one of the highest-ranking candidates in the EGFR- mutant HCC-827 lung adenocarcinoma cell line. Likewise, sgRNAs for NRAS and MAP2K1 (MEK1), a downstream kinase of mutant NRAS, were identified among the top hits in the NRAS-mutant neuroblastoma cell line CHP-212. Depletion of these genes targeted by the sgRNAs strongly correlated with the sensitivity to specific kinase inhibitors of the EGFR or RAS pathway in cell viability assays. In addition, we describe other dependencies such as TBK1 in HCC-827 cells and TRIB2 in CHP-212 cells which merit further investigation. Conclusions: We show that genome-wide CRISPR dropout screens are suitable for the identification of oncogenic drivers and other essential genes.

  • TRIB2 Modulates Proteasome Function to Reduce Ubiquitin Stability And
    Guo et al. Cell Death and Disease (2021) 12:42 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-020-03299-8 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access TRIB2 modulates proteasome function to reduce ubiquitin stability and protect liver cancer cells against oxidative stress Susu Guo1,YuxinChen2,YueyueYang1,XiaoZhang3,LifangMa3,XiangfeiXue1, Yongxia Qiao4 and Jiayi Wang 1,3 Abstract The regulation of homeostasis in the Ubiquitin (Ub) proteasome system (UPS) is likely to be important for the development of liver cancer. Tribbles homolog 2 (TRIB2) is known to affect Ub E3 ligases (E3s) in liver cancer. However, whether TRIB2 regulates the UPS in other ways and the relevant mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we reveal that TRIB2 decreased Ub levels largely by stimulating proteasome degradation of Ub. In the proteasome, proteasome 20S subunit beta 5 (PSMB5) was critical for the function of TRIB2, although it did not directly interact with TRIB2. However, poly (rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2), which was identified by mass spectrometry, directly interacted with both TRIB2 and PSMB5. PCBP2 was a prerequisite for the TRIB2 induction of PSMB5 activity and decreased Ub levels. A significant correlation between TRIB2 and PCBP2 was revealed in liver cancer specimens. Interestingly, TRIB2 suppressed the K48- ubiquitination of PCBP2 to increase its level. Therefore, a model showing that TRIB2 cooperates and stimulates PCBP2 to reduce Ub levels was established. Additionally, the reduction in Ub levels induced by TRIB2 and PCBP2 was dependent on K48-ubiquitination. PCBP2 was one of the possible downstream factors of TRIB2 and their interaction relied on the DQLVPD element of TRIB2 and the KH3 domain of PCBP2.

    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.

Correspondence: JEROME MOREAUX - [email protected] Supplementary experiment procedures Kinome Index A list of 661 genes of kinases or kinases related have been extracted from literature9, and challenged in the HM cohort for OS prognostic values The prognostic value of each of the genes was computed using maximally selected rank test from R package MaxStat. After Benjamini Hochberg multiple testing correction a list of 104 significant prognostic genes has been extracted. This second list has then been challenged for similar prognosis value in the UAMS-TT2 validation cohort.
