Introduction Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a cancer that is difficult to detect at an early stage, when it involves the renal pelvis and ureter [1]. The incidence of UTUC accounts for approximately 5% of all urothelial cancers, and invasive UTUC accounts for 60% of Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. all UTUC patients. The 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate after the onset of early This article is an open access article UTUC is <50% [2]. Compared with bladder cancer, the difficulty of UTUC discovery is that distributed under the terms and it is more difficult to detect in the early stages. This reflects the relative rarity of UTUC and conditions of the Creative Commons the consequent lack of knowledge of the mechanism of its pathogenesis. Currently, radical Attribution (CC BY) license (https:// nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the standard treatment for local UTUC [2,3]. Regarding creativecommons.org/licenses/by/ prognostic effectiveness, 33% of RNU cases relapse within 5 years [4], indicating a high 4.0/). recurrence rate and poor prognosis [2,5], with a 5-year CSS rate of 73% [2,5]. Additional Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021, 22, 8761. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms22168761 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021, 22, 8761 2 of 19 systemic treatment is required. However, the disadvantage of RNU is that it damages renal function and reduces eligibility for chemotherapy [6,7]. According to the treatment guidelines of the European Association of Urology, the chemotherapy method of UTUC is currently based on UCB-based treatment [8,9]. Cisplatin- based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is regarded as the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced UTUC [10]. An increasing number of studies have shown that NAC and ACH have a certain effect [11,12]. However, due to the different responses of patients to chemotherapy, these cannot be used arbitrarily [13,14]. The advantage of URS is that the lesions can be directly observed, evaluated, and biopsied. Several factors that can predict poor prognosis include age, tumor grade, tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, CLS, lymphatic vessel invasion, multifocal tumor size, and tumor size [9,15–19]. As there are few biomarkers used to evaluate UTUC, finding more effective tumor markers for evaluating the prognosis of UTUC could help predict prognosis and promote effective treatment. Ribosome-binding protein 1 (RRBP1) is an important endoplasmic reticular protein that plays a key role in ribosomal binding and the termination of differentiation in secretory cells and tissues [20–22]. RRBP1 consists of 1410 amino acids, including a transmembrane domain that is essential for the transport and secretion of new proteins [23,24]. Although RRBP1 is mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), it can also be detected in the nucleus and cytoplasm [25]. RRBP1 may be a potential oncogene. The RRBP1 is highly expressed in a variety of cancers, including lung [26], ovarian [27], prostatic [28], esophageal [22], rectal [29], and breast cancer [30,31]. RRBP1 is also a biomarker for poor prognosis in colorectal, prostate, and breast cancers. In addition, RRBP1 is associated with tumor cell growth and resistance to the unfolded protein response (UPR) [26], which might be an important milestone in tumor management and a potential prognostic biomarker for tumors. Even so, few studies have explored the mechanism by which RRBP1 regulates tumor cell growth, and its current functions are mainly related to ER pressure control. The role of RRBP1 in urothelial carcinoma remains unclear. Further studies on its expression, regulatory mechanisms, intracellular signaling pathways, cancerous tumors, degree of malignancy, and prognostic factors in urothelial carcinoma would inform further studies that could benefit clinical treatment of various cancers. UTUC is a cancer that is difficult to detect in the early stage, with a marked propensity to invade and metastasize. Using DNA methylation microarray chip analysis, we identified the membrane protein RRBP1 as a tumor oncogene in UTUC cells, and the potential of RRBP1 as a clinical prognostic marker from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) BLCA database was further confirmed. Especially in advanced and metastatic UTUC, the ex- pression of RRBP1 was significantly higher than that in normal tissues or early tumors. RRBP1 was highly expressed in both malignant tumors and cell lines in clinical specimens. Analysis of the expression of gene groups affected by RRBP1 in patients’ samples correlated increased RRBP1 expression with increased proliferation and metastasis-related proteins. Lee et al. established a patient-derived organoid (PDO) model for bladder cancer that could be used to simulate tumor response to drugs [32]. Using this method, we established PDO of UTUC and performed drug cytotoxicity analysis. The results showed that progressively lower expression levels of RRBP1 were associated with progressively increasing sensitivity of PDO to cytotoxicity due to cisplatin, gemcitabine, and epirubicin. Thus, high expres- sion of RRBP1 was implicated as a potential oncogene marker in UTUC with reduced susceptibility to drugs. 2. Results 2.1. RRBP1 Is a Hypomethylated and Highly Expressed Oncogene in UTUC UTUC is difficult to detect at an early stage and there are few predictive factors that can be used to evaluate UTUC. Analysis of the expression level of cancer cell membrane proteins is helpful to identify applicable marker proteins and for clinical detection [33]. Previously, we identified SPARCL1 as an oncogene that promotes carcinogenesis in a Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021, 22, 8761 3 of 19 bioinformatics database of UTUC provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Taiwan [34]. However, the role of membrane proteins in lymphovascular invasion in UTUC has not been clearly discussed. Thus, we further investigated the potential oncogenic factors in membrane proteins of UTUC and re-explored the NIH bioinformatics database of UTUC. Normal urothelial tissues of three patients with low-stage/low-grade UTUC were compared with three patients with high-stage/high-grade UTUC tumors from the database. A methyl-CpG binding-domain-based (MBD) protein microarray was used to compare

Here, we report zonation- dependent transcriptomic changes in aged mouse brain endothelial cells (ECs), which pro- minently implicate altered immune/cytokine signaling in ECs of all vascular segments, and functional changes impacting the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and glucose/energy metabolism especially in capillary ECs (capECs). An overrepresentation of Alzheimer disease (AD) GWAS genes is evident among the human orthologs of the differentially expressed genes of aged capECs, while comparative analysis revealed a subset of concordantly downregulated, functionally important genes in human AD brains. Treatment with exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, strongly reverses aged mouse brain EC transcriptomic changes and BBB leakage, with associated attenuation of microglial priming. We thus revealed tran- scriptomic alterations underlying brain EC ageing that are complex yet pharmacologically reversible.

Academic Editor: Kotb Abdelmohsen Received: 3 June 2016; Accepted: 13 July 2016; Published: 20 July 2016 Abstract: The function of ribosome binding protein 1 (RRBP1) is regulating the transportation and secretion of some intracellular proteins in mammalian cells. Transcription of RRBP1 is induced by various cytokines. However, few studies focused on the process of RRPB1 mRNA translation. The RRBP1 mRNA has a long 51 untranslated region that potentially formed a stable secondary structure. In this study, we show that the 51 UTR of RRBP1 mRNA contains an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Moreover, the RRBP1 expression is induced by chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel or adriamycin in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells and accompanied with the increased expression of La autoantigen (La), which binds to RRBP1 IRES element and facilitates translation initiation. Interestingly, we found IRES-mediated RRBP1 translation is also activated during serum-starvation condition which can induce cytoplasmic localization of La. After mapping the entire RRBP1 51 UTR, we determine the core IRES activity is located between nt-237 and -58.

Coexpression Networks Based on Natural Variation in Human Gene Expression at Baseline and Under Stress Abstract Genes interact in networks to orchestrate cellular processes. Here, we used coexpression networks based on natural variation in gene expression to study the functions and interactions of human genes. We asked how these networks change in response to stress. First, we studied human coexpression networks at baseline. We constructed networks by identifying correlations in expression levels of 8.9 million gene pairs in immortalized B cells from 295 individuals comprising three independent samples. The resulting networks allowed us to infer interactions between biological processes. We used the network to predict the functions of poorly-characterized human genes, and provided some experimental support. Examining genes implicated in disease, we found that IFIH1, a diabetes susceptibility gene, interacts with YES1, which affects glucose transport. Genes predisposing to the same diseases are clustered non-randomly in the network, suggesting that the network may be used to identify candidate genes that influence disease susceptibility.

Studies suggest that this gene plays a role in ER proliferation, secretory pathways and secretory cell differentiation, and mediation of ER-microtubule interactions. Alternative splicing has been observed and protein isoforms are characterized by regions of N-terminal decapeptide and C-terminal heptad repeats.
