The deubiquitylase OTUD3 stabilizes GRP78 and promotes lung tumorigenesis.

ABSTRACT: The deubiquitylase OTUD3 plays a suppressive role in breast tumorigenesis through stabilizing PTEN protein, but its role in lung cancer remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that in vivo deletion of OTUD3 indeed promotes breast cancer development in mice, but by contrast, it slows down KrasG12D-driven lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) initiation and progression and markedly increases survival in mice. Moreover, OTUD3 is highly expressed in human lung cancer tissues and its higher expression correlates with poorer survival of patients. Further mechanistic studies reveal that OTUD3 interacts with, deubiquitylates and stabilizes the glucose-regulated protein GRP78. Knockdown of OTUD3 results in a decrease in the level of GRP78 protein, suppression of cell growth and migration, and tumorigenesis in lung cancer. Collectively, our results reveal a previously unappreciated pro-oncogenic role of OTUD3 in lung cancer and indicate that deubiquitylases could elicit tumor-suppressing or tumor-promoting activities in a cell- and tissue-dependent context.

Project description:BackgroundAccumulating evidence has demonstrated that aberrant expression of deubiquitinating enzymes is associated with the initiation and progression of Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The publicly available TCGA database of breast cancer data was used to analyze the OTUD deubiquitinating family members that were correlated with survival of breast cancer and ovarian tumor domain-containing 2 (OTUD-2), or YOD1 was identified. The aim of present study was to assess YOD1 expression and function in human TNBC and then explored the underlying molecular events.MethodsWe detected the expression of YOD1 in 32 TNBC and 44 NTNBC samples by qRT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Manipulation of YOD1 expression was assessed in vitro and in vivo for TNBC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, cell-cycle and drug resistance, using colony formation assay, transwell assay, CCK8 assay, TUNEL assay, flow cytometric analysis and xenograft tumor assay. Next, proteomic analysis, Western blot, proximity ligation assay, Immunoprecipitation, and Immunofluorescence were conducted to assess downstream targets.ResultsIt was found that YOD1 was significantly upregulated in TNBC tissues compared with non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC), which was positively correlated with poor survival in TNBC patients. Knockdown of YOD1 effectively inhibited TNBC cell migration, proliferation, cell cycle and resistance to cisplatin and paclitaxel. Mechanistically, YOD1 promoted TNBC progression in a manner dependent on its catalytic activity through binding with CDK1, leading to de-polyubiquitylation of CDK1 and upregulation of CDK1 expression. In addition, YOD1 overexpression was found to be correlated with CDK1 overexpression in human TNBC specimens. Finally, in vivo study demonstrated that YOD1 knockdown or YOD1 inhibitor could inhibit CDK1 expression and suppress the growth and metastasis of TNBC tumors.ConclusionOur study highlights that YOD1 functions as an oncogene in TNBC via binding to CDK1 and mediated its stability and oncogenic activity. Interfering with YOD1 expression or YOD1 inhibitor could suppress TNBC cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that YOD1 may prove to be a promising therapeutic target for TNBC.
