E3 ligase MG53 suppresses tumor growth by degrading cyclin D1.

ABSTRACT: Due to the essential role of cyclin D1 in regulating transition from G1 to S phase in cell cycle, aberrant cyclin D1 expression is a major oncogenic event in many types of cancers. In particular, the dysregulation of ubiquitination-dependent degradation of cyclin D1 contributes to not only the pathogenesis of malignancies but also the refractory to cancer treatment regiments with CDK4/6 inhibitors. Here we show that in colorectal and gastric cancer patients, MG53 is downregulated in more than 80% of tumors compared to the normal gastrointestinal tissues from the same patient, and the reduced MG53 expression is correlated with increased cyclin D1 abundance and inferior survival. Mechanistically, MG53 catalyzes the K48-linked ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of cyclin D1. Thus, increased expression of MG53 leads to cell cycle arrest at G1, and thereby markedly suppresses cancer cell proliferation in vitro as well as tumor growth in mice with xenograft tumors or AOM/DSS induced-colorectal cancer. Consistently, MG53 deficiency results in accumulation of cyclin D1 protein and accelerates cancer cell growth both in culture and in animal models. These findings define MG53 as a tumor suppressor via facilitating cyclin D1 degradation, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting MG53 in treating cancers with dysregulated cyclin D1 turnover.

Project description:BackgroundDespite advancements in targeted therapy and immunotherapy, cutaneous melanoma continues to have a high mortality rate and poor prognosis, with therapies having limited efficacy in advanced melanoma. Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel therapeutics with proven clinical potential. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of arcyriaflavin A (ArcA), a potent inhibitor of the cyclin D1/CDK4 complex, in suppressing aggressive phenotypes of metastatic melanoma.MethodsThe effects of ArcA on viability and cell cycle were evaluated across four melanoma cell lines: WM239A and its metastatic derivatives: 113-6/4L, 131/4-5B1, and 131/4-5B2. Additionally, we performed wound healing and transwell invasion assays, followed by western blot. We further established xenograft mouse models by subcutaneously injecting them with the four melanoma cell lines and measured tumor size and weight biweekly. Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed to compare protein expression.ResultsArcA demonstrated dose-dependent cytotoxicity, selectively targeting melanoma cells without affecting normal cells, and induced G1 cell cycle arrest. Moreover, ArcA significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion in metastatic melanoma cell lines, accompanied by reduced expression levels of p-GSK-3β (Ser9), MMP-9, and MMP-13, suggesting that its anti-metastatic effects may be partially mediated through GSK-3β, MMP-9, and MMP-13. These findings were further validated using mouse xenograft models; ArcA-treated mice exhibited significantly smaller tumor volumes and lighter tumor weights compared to vehicle-treated mice. Immunohistochemistry further confirmed decreased expression of p-GSK-3β, MMP-9, and MMP-13 in tumor tissues from ArcA-treated mice.ConclusionsCollectively, our findings indicate that ArcA possesses substantial anti-tumor potential, including cytotoxic effects and inhibition of migration and invasion in metastatic melanoma. These results suggest that ArcA could enhance therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of metastatic melanoma.
