Armadillo Repeat Containing 12 Promotes Neuroblastoma Progression Through Interaction with Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 4 ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05286-2 OPEN Armadillo repeat containing 12 promotes neuroblastoma progression through interaction with retinoblastoma binding protein 4 Dan Li1, Huajie Song1, Hong Mei1, Erhu Fang1, Xiaojing Wang1, Feng Yang1, Huanhuan Li1, Yajun Chen2, Kai Huang3, Liduan Zheng2,3 & Qiangsong Tong1,3 1234567890():,; Recent studies suggest the emerging roles of armadillo (ARM) family proteins in tumor progression. However, the functions and underlying mechanisms of ARM members in tumorigenesis and aggressiveness of neuroblastoma (NB) remain to be determined. Herein, we identify armadillo repeat containing 12 (ARMC12) as an ARM member associated with NB progression. ARMC12 promotes the growth and aggressiveness of NB cell lines. Mechan- istically, ARMC12 physically interacts with retinoblastoma binding protein 4 (RBBP4) to facilitate the formation and activity of polycomb repressive complex 2, resulting in tran- scriptional repression of tumor suppressive genes. Blocking the interaction between ARMC12 and RBBP4 by cell-penetrating inhibitory peptide activates the downstream gene expression and suppresses the tumorigenesis and aggressiveness of NB cells. Both ARMC12 and RBBP4 are upregulated in NB tissues, and are associated with unfavorable outcome of patients. These findings suggest the crucial roles of ARMC12 in tumor progression and a potential therapeutic approach for NB. 1 Department of Pediatric Surgery, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 1277 Jiefang Avenue, 430022 Wuhan, Hubei Province, P.R.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

Florens,3 Selene K. Swanson,3 Michael P. Washburn,3,4 and James A. DeCaprio1,2,5,6 1Department of Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA; 2Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA; 3Stowers Institute for Biomedical Research, Kansas City, Missouri 64110, USA; 4Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, The University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas 66160, USA; 5Belfer Institute for Applied Cancer Science, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts 02215, USA In the absence of growth signals, cells exit the cell cycle and enter into G0 or quiescence. Alternatively, cells enter senescence in response to inappropriate growth signals such as oncogene expression. The molecular mechanisms required for cell cycle exit into quiescence or senescence are poorly understood. The DREAM (DP, RB [retinoblastoma] , E2F, and MuvB) complex represses cell cycle-dependent genes during quiescence. DREAM contains p130, E2F4, DP1, and a stable core complex of five MuvB-like proteins: LIN9, LIN37, LIN52, LIN54, and RBBP4. In mammalian cells, the MuvB core dissociates from p130 upon entry into the cell cycle and binds to BMYB during S phase to activate the transcription of genes expressed late in the cell cycle. We used mass spectroscopic analysis to identify phosphorylation sites that regulate the switch of the MuvB core from BMYB to DREAM. Here we report that DYRK1A can specifically phosphorylate LIN52 on serine residue 28, and that this phosphorylation is required for DREAM assembly.

There is a substantial Received 5 March 2014 genetic contribution to memory performance through life span. A recent study has implicated RbAp48, Received in revised form 17 June 2014 which mediates its effect on age-related memory decline by interacting with cyclic adenosine mono- Accepted 24 June 2014 phosphate responsive element binding protein (CREB)1 binding protein and influencing this histone Available online 28 June 2014 acetylation pathway. To validate these findings, we tested whether genetic variants in RbAp48, CREB1, and CREBBP are associated with memory performance in 3 independent data sets consisting of 2674 Keywords: cognitively healthy elderly individuals.

Identifying genetic variants that modulate mechanisms of cognitive aging will allow identifying valid targets for therapeutic intervention.
