Dual-specificity phosphatase 5 suppresses ovarian cancer progression by inhibiting IL-33 signaling.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecological malignancy. Dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) are proteins that are reported involved in carcinogenesis, but their roles in OC have not be extensively studied. Here, we found that DUSP5 is markedly down-regulated in OC tissues. We reanalyzed DUSP5 expression in OC using published microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and found that patients with low DUSP5 expression have significantly shorter overall survival than those with high expression (P < 0.001). Down-regulation of DUSP5 in OC tissues was immunohistochemically confirmed in tissue microarrays containing 15 normal ovary tissue samples and 60 OC specimens. Functional studies suggest that DUSP5 silence facilitates cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of OC cells in vitro. DUSP5 over-expression inhibits cell proliferation but has no effect on OC cell migration or invasion. Mechanistically, silencing DUSP5 transcriptionally activates interleukin 33 (IL-33) expression and secretion. Blockage of IL-33 with a neutralizing anti-IL33 antibody attenuates the effect of DUSP5 silencing to promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Moreover, recombinant IL-33 protein treatment dramatically promotes OC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion with DUSP5 over-expression. Our study provides proof of principle that DUSP5 down-regulation promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion of OC cells via activation of IL-33 signaling.

Project description:DUSP4 is a member of the DUSP (dual-specificity phosphatase) subfamily that is selective to the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and has been implicated in a range of biological processes and functions in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we utilized the stereotactic delivery of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-DUSP4 to overexpress DUSP4 in the dorsal hippocampus of 5xFAD and wildtype (WT) mice, then used mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics along with the label-free quantification to profile the proteome and phosphoproteome in the hippocampus. We identified protein expression and phosphorylation patterns modulated in 5xFAD mice and examined the sex-specific impact of DUSP4 overexpression on the 5xFAD proteome/phosphoproteome. In 5xFAD mice, a substantial number of proteins were up- or down-regulated in both male and female mice in comparison to age and sex-matched WT mice, many of which are involved in AD-related biological processes, such as activated immune response or suppressed synaptic activities. Many proteins in pathways, such as immune response were found to be suppressed in response to DUSP4 overexpression in male 5xFAD mice. In contrast, such a shift was absent in female mice. For the phosphoproteome, we detected an array of phosphorylation sites regulated in 5xFAD compared to WT and modulated via DUSP4 overexpression in each sex. Interestingly, 5xFAD- and DUSP4-associated phosphorylation changes occurred in opposite directions. Strikingly, both the 5xFAD- and DUSP4-associated phosphorylation changes were found to be mostly in neurons and play key roles in neuronal processes and synaptic functions. Site-centric pathway analysis revealed that both the 5xFAD- and DUSP4-associated phosphorylation sites were enriched for a number of kinase sets in females but only a limited number of sets of kinases in male mice. Taken together, our results suggest that male and female 5xFAD mice responded to DUSP4 overexpression via shared and sex-specific molecular mechanisms, which might underly similar reductions in amyloid pathology in both sexes while learning deficits were reduced in only females with DUSP4 overexpression. Finally, we validated our findings with the sex-specific AD-associated proteomes in human cohorts and further developed DUSP4-centric proteomic network models and signaling maps for each sex.
