ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Despite of the aberrant expression of 14-3-3? in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), little is known about the role of 14-3-3? in the regulation of senescence in HNSCC. This study was performed to investigate whether 14-3-3? is implicated in senescence evasion of Hep-2 laryngeal cancer cells. METHODS:The expression of 14-3-3? was suppressed using RNA interference strategy. Senescence induction was determined by senescence-associated ?-galactosidase staining and the numbers of promyelocytic leukaemia nuclear body. Real-time PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry were applied for the expression of corresponding proteins. Xenograft experiment was performed to show in vivo effect of 14-3-3? silencing on tumour growth. RESULTS:14-3-3? silencing significantly induced senescence phenotypes via 27 accumulations. Subsequently, we demonstrated that p27 accumulation is linked to inactivation of SCFSkp2 complex activity, probably due to the deneddylation of cullin-1 (Cul-1) as follows. (a) Neddylated Cul-1 is decreased by 14-3-3? silencing. (b) Blocking neddylation using MLN4924 reproduces senescence phenotypes. (c) Knockdown of CSN5, which functions as a deneddylase, was shown to restore the senescence phenotypes induced by 14-3-3? depletion. Finally, we demonstrated that 14-3-3? depletion effectively hindered the proliferation of Hep-2 cells implanted into nude mice. CONCLUSION:14-3-3? negatively regulates senescence in Hep-2 cells, suggesting that 14-3-3? targeting may serve to suppress the expansion of laryngeal cancer via induction of senescence through the Cul-1/SCFSkp2 /p27 axis.
