Micropeptide CIP2A-BP encoded by LINC00665 inhibits triple-negative breast cancer progression.

ABSTRACT: TGF-? signaling pathway plays a key role in breast cancer metastasis. Recent studies suggest that TGF-? regulates tumor progression and invasion not only via transcriptional regulation, but also via translational regulation. Using both bioinformatics and experimental tools, we identified a micropeptide CIP2A-BP encoded by LINC00665, whose translation was downregulated by TGF-? in breast cancer cell lines. Using TNBC cell lines, we showed that TGF-?-activated Smad signaling pathway induced the expression of translation inhibitory protein 4E-BP1, which inhibited eukaryote translation initiation factor elF4E, leading to reduced translation of CIP2A-BP from LINC00665. CIP2A-BP directly binds tumor oncogene CIP2A to replace PP2A's B56? subunit, thus releasing PP2A activity, which inhibits PI3K/AKT/NF?B pathway, resulting in decreased expression levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, and Snail. Downregulation of CIP2A-BP in TNBC patients was significantly associated with metastasis and poor overall survival. In the MMTV-PyMT model, either introducing CIP2A-BP gene or direct injection of CIP2A-BP micropeptide significantly reduced lung metastases and improved overall survival. In conclusion, we provide evidence that CIP2A-BP is both a prognostic marker and a novel therapeutic target for TNBC.

TGF-β signaling pathway plays a key role in breast cancer metastasis. Recent studies suggest that TGF-β regulates tumor progression and invasion not only via transcriptional regulation, but also via translational regulation. Using both bioinformatics and experimental tools, we identified a micropeptide CIP2A-BP encoded by LINC00665, whose translation was downregulated by TGF-β in breast cancer cell lines.

Project description:BackgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains difficult to be targeted. SET and cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) are intrinsic protein-interacting inhibitors of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and frequently overexpressed in cancers, whereas reactivating PP2A activity has been postulated as an anti-cancer strategy. Here we explored this strategy in TNBC.MethodsData from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was analyzed. TNBC cell lines were used for in vitro studies. Cell viability was examined by MTT assay. The apoptotic cells were examined by flow cytometry and Western blot. A SET-PP2A protein-protein interaction antagonist TD19 was used to disrupt signal transduction. In vivo efficacy of TD19 was tested in MDA-MB-468-xenografted animal model.FindingsTCGA data revealed upregulation of SET and CIP2A and positive correlation of these two gene expressions in TNBC tumors. Ectopic SET or CIP2A increased cell viability, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells. Notably ERK inhibition increased PP2A activity. ERK activation is known crucial for Elk-1 activity, a transcriptional factor regulating CIP2A expression, we hypothesized an oncogenic feedforward loop consisting of pERK/pElk-1/CIP2A/PP2A. This loop was validated by knockdown of PP2A and ectopic expression of Elk-1, showing reciprocal changes in loop members. In addition, ectopic expression of SET increased pAkt, pERK, pElk-1 and CIP2A expressions, suggesting a positive linkage between SET and CIP2A signaling. Moreover, TD19 disrupted this CIP2A-feedforward loop by restoring PP2A activity, demonstrating in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer activity. Mechanistically, TD19 downregulated CIP2A mRNA via inhibiting pERK-mediated Elk-1 nuclear translocation thereby decreased Elk-1 binding to the CIP2A promoter.InterpretationThese findings suggested that a novel oncogenic CIP2A-feedforward loop contributes to TNBC progression and targeting SET to disrupt this oncogenic CIP2A loop showed therapeutic potential in TNBC.
