TRIM16 inhibits proliferation and migration through regulation of interferon beta 1 in melanoma cells.

ABSTRACT: High basal or induced expression of the tripartite motif protein, TRIM16, leads to reduce cell growth and migration of neuroblastoma and skin squamous cell carcinoma cells. However, the role of TRIM16 in melanoma is currently unknown. TRIM16 protein levels were markedly reduced in human melanoma cell lines, compared with normal human epidermal melanocytes due to both DNA methylation and reduced protein stability. TRIM16 knockdown strongly increased cell migration in normal human epidermal melanocytes, while TRIM16 overexpression reduced cell migration and proliferation of melanoma cells in an interferon beta 1 (IFN?1)-dependent manner. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed TRIM16 directly bound the IFN?1 gene promoter. Low level TRIM16 expression in 91 melanoma patient samples, strongly correlated with lymph node metastasis, and, predicted poor patient prognosis in a separate cohort of 170 melanoma patients with lymph node metastasis. The BRAF inhibitor, vemurafenib, increased TRIM16 protein levels in melanoma cells in vitro, and induced growth arrest in BRAF-mutant melanoma cells in a TRIM16-dependent manner. High levels of TRIM16 in melanoma tissues from patients treated with Vemurafenib correlated with clinical response. Our data, for the first time, demonstrates TRIM16 is a marker of cell migration and metastasis, and a novel treatment target in melanoma.

Project description:MicroRNA (miR) are a class of small non-coding RNA that are able to inhibit gene expression by directly binding to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of their target mRNA and thus promote translational repression or mRNA degradation. Recently, miR-9 was reported to have a suppressive role in malignant melanoma; however, the underlying mechanism remains largely unclear. In the present study, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting were used to examine the mRNA and protein expression levels in malignant melanoma tissues and cell lines. The MTT assay and wound healing assay were used to examine the cell viability, proliferation and migratory capacities. Bioinformatics prediction and luciferase reporter assay were performed to investigate the relationship between miR-9 and its potential target gene. The present data revealed that miR-9 expression was significantly downregulated in malignant melanoma tissues when compared with their matched adjacent non-tumor tissues. Furthermore, the expression levels of miR-9 were reduced in malignant melanoma cell lines when compared with human normal skin HACAT cells. Moreover, the ectopic expression of miR-9 significantly suppressed the proliferation and migration of malignant melanoma cells, accompanied with a remarkable decrease in the protein expression levels of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), which were markedly upregulated in malignant melanoma tissues and cell lines. Additionally, restoration of SIRT1 reversed the suppressive effects of miR-9 on the proliferation and migration of malignant melanoma cells. Luciferase reporter assay data further identified SIRT1 as a direct target gene of miR-9. To conclude, the present findings indicate that miR-9 has a suppressive role in malignant melanoma cell viability and migration, at least in part, via directly inhibiting the protein expression of its target gene, SIRT1. Therefore, miR-9 may serve as a potential candidate for the treatment of malignant melanoma.

Project description:BackgroundEstrogen receptor β (ERβ) has been reported to play an anti-cancer role in breast cancer, but the regulatory mechanism by which ERβ exerts this effect is not clear. Claudin-6 (CLDN6), a tight junction protein, acts as a tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer. Our previous studies have found that 17β-estradiol (E2) induces CLDN6 expression and inhibits MCF-7 cell migration and invasion, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of ERβ in this process and the regulatory mechanisms involved.MethodsPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blot were used to characterize the effect of E2 on the expression of CLDN6 in breast cancer cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were carried out to confirm the interaction between ERβ and CLDN6. Dual luciferase reporter assays were used to detect the regulatory role of ERβ on the promoter activity of CLDN6. Wound healing and Transwell assays were used to examine the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Western blot, immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed to detect autophagy. Xenograft mouse models were used to explore the regulatory effect of the CLDN6-beclin1 axis on breast cancer metastasis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect ERβ/CLDN6/beclin1 expression in breast cancer patient samples.ResultsHere, E2 upregulated the expression of CLDN6, which was mediated by ERβ. ERβ regulated CLDN6 expression at the transcriptional level. ERβ inhibited the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells through CLDN6. Interestingly, this effect was associated with CLDN6-induced autophagy. CLDN6 positively regulated the expression of beclin1, which is a key regulator of autophagy. Beclin1 knockdown reversed CLDN6-induced autophagy and the inhibitory effect of CLDN6 on breast cancer metastasis. Moreover, ERβ and CLDN6 were positively correlated, and the expression of CLDN6 was positively correlated with beclin1 in breast cancer tissues.ConclusionOverall, this is the first study to demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of ERβ on the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells was mediated by CLDN6, which induced the beclin1-dependent autophagic cascade.
