Contribution of hCAP-D2, a non-SMC subunit of condensin I, to chromosome and chromosomal protein dynamics during mitosis.

ABSTRACT: Condensins are heteropentameric complexes that were first identified as structural components of mitotic chromosomes. They are composed of two SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) and three non-SMC subunits. Condensins play a role in the resolution and segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis, as well as in some aspects of mitotic chromosome assembly. Two distinct condensin complexes, condensin I and condensin II, which differ only in their non-SMC subunits, exist. Here, we used an RNA interference approach to deplete hCAP-D2, a non-SMC subunit of condensin I, in HeLa cells. We found that the association of hCAP-H, another non-SMC subunit of condensin I, with mitotic chromosomes depends on the presence of hCAP-D2. Moreover, chromatid axes, as defined by topoisomerase II and hCAP-E localization, are disorganized in the absence of hCAP-D2, and the resolution and segregation of sister chromatids are impaired. In addition, hCAP-D2 depletion affects chromosome alignment in metaphase and delays entry into anaphase. This suggests that condensin I is involved in the correct attachment between chromosome kinetochores and microtubules of the mitotic spindle. These results are discussed relative to the effects of depleting both condensin complexes.

Project description:Non-SMC condensin I complex subunit D2 (NCAPD2) is overexpressed in some malignant tumors. However, there are few studies on the function of NCAPD2 in pan-cancer. We used the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), Human Protein Atlas (HPA), and UALCAN to analyze NCAPD2 expression and promoter methylation levels in 33 tumors and normal samples. We performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) on liver cancer and corresponding normal tissues to examine NCAPD2 protein expression in LIHC. Kaplan-Meier survival and univariate regression analyses were performed to explore the pan-cancer clinical significance of NCAPD2. Moreover, correlative analysis between NCAPD2 expression and clinical characteristics, immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoints, immune regulators, tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), ribonucleic acid (RNA) methylation regulators, and drug sensitivity was conducted using data from TCGA. We also investigated the effects of NCAPD2 expression on immunotherapy efficacy and prognosis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted using NCAPD2. Bioinformatic analysis showed that NCAPD2 was overexpressed in most tumors and correlated with the clinical characteristics of some cancers. IHC results demonstrated that NCAPD2 protein expression was higher in LIHC than in normal liver. NCAPD2 expression was linked with T stage, clinical stage, and histologic grade in LIHC. Overexpression of NCAPD2 resulted in poor overall survival, and disease-specific survival in adrenocortical carcinoma, kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma, brain lower grade glioma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, mesothelioma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, sarcoma, skin cutaneous melanoma, and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma. NCAPD2 was considered an independent biomarker by Cox regression in LIHC. The time ROC curve demonstrated that the survival rate of 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS and DSS in LIHC was above 0.6. The expression of NCAPD2 was significantly correlated with immune cell infiltration, immune checkpoints, TMB, MSI, and RNA methylation regulators in several tumors. NCAPD2 had a high predictive value for immunotherapy efficiency in certain tumors. In our study, drugs sensitive to NCAPD2 protein were screened by sensitivity analysis. GSEA analysis showed that NCAPD2 mainly participated in the G2M checkpoint, mitotic spindle, and KRAS-signaling. NCAPD2 may act as a prognostic molecular marker in most cancers.
