Overexpression of HACE1 in gastric cancer inhibits tumor aggressiveness by impeding cell proliferation and migration.

ABSTRACT: HACE1 E3 ligase was discovered to be down-regulated in several cancers while its role in regulating tumors was merely understood. This study aimed to explore the specific effect of HACE1 played in gastric tumorigenesis and its potential mechanism. HACE1's expression was found significantly lower in gastric cancer tissues compared with the adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.001). Its protein level in gastric cancer negatively correlated to tumor pathological differentiation (P = 0.019). And in gastric cancer patients with TNM I-IIIa, those with lower HACE1 protein level had poorer overall survival (P = 0.025). Studies, in vivo and in vitro, showed that overexpressing HACE1 inhibited tumor proliferation and migration, and enhanced cell apoptosis. Besides, ectopic expression of HACE1 down-regulated the protein level of ?-catenin and inhibited the activity of the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway. All the cellular functions were abolished when we overexpressed inactive HACE1-deltaHECT. Above all, we demonstrated that HACE1 E3 ligase played a suppressive role in gastric tumorigenesis and inhibited the activity of the Wnt/?-catenin signaling pathway. Circumventing the decline of HACE1 in early stage of carcinoma may impede the tumorigenesis and malignant process of gastric cancer.

Project description:BackgroundGBM is the most frequent malignant primary brain tumor in humans. The CLEC19A is a member of the C-type lectin family, which has a high expression in brain tissue. Herein, we sought to carry out an in-depth analysis to pinpoint the role of CLEC19A expression in GBM.MethodsTo determine the localization of CLEC19A, this protein was detected using Western blot, Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence, and confocal microscopy imaging. CLEC19A expression in glioma cells and tissues was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Cell viability, proliferation, migration, and apoptosis were examined through MTT assay, CFSE assay, colony formation, wound healing assay, transwell test, and flow cytometry respectively after CLEC19A overexpression. The effect of CLEC19A overexpression on the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway was investigated using Western blot. An in vivo experiment substantiated the in vitro results using the glioblastoma rat models.ResultsOur in-silico analysis using TCGA data and measuring CLEC19A expression level by qRT-PCR determined significantly lower expression of CLEC19A in human glioma tissues compared to healthy brain tissues. By employment of ICC/IF, confocal microscopy imaging, and Western blot we could show that CLEC19A is plausibly a secreted protein. Results obtained from several in vitro readouts showed that CLEC19A overexpression in U87 and C6 glioma cell lines is associated with the inhibition of cell proliferation, viability, and migration. Further, qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed CLEC19A overexpression could reduce the expression levels of PI3K, VEGFα, MMP2, and NF-κB and increase PTEN, TIMP3, RECK, and PDCD4 expression levels in glioma cell lines. Furthermore, flow cytometry results revealed that CLEC19A overexpression was associated with significant cell cycle arrest and promotion of apoptosis in glioma cell lines. Interestingly, using a glioma rat model we could substantiate that CLEC19A overexpression suppresses glioma tumor growth.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first report providing in-silico, molecular, cellular, and in vivo evidences on the role of CLEC19A as a putative tumor suppressor gene in GBM. These results enhance our understanding of the role of CLEC19A in glioma and warrant further exploration of CLEC19A as a potential therapeutic target for GBM.
