SH3BGRL2 inhibits growth and metastasis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma via activating hippo/TEAD1-Twist1 pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the world, and tumor metastasis is still the main reason for disease progression. Accumulating evidence shows that SH3BGRL2 may play a key role in tumor progression and metastasis. However, the role of SH3BGRL2 in ccRCC has not been systematically investigated and remains elusive.

Methods

The clinical significance of SH3BGRL2 was evaluated by bioinformatic analysis and tissue microarray (TMA) samples. SH3BGRL2 expression was determined by RT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry staining. Tumor suppressive effect of SH3BGRL2 was determined by both in vitro and in vivo studies. Western blot, chromatin immunoprecipitation assay and luciferase report assay were applied for mechanism dissection.

Findings

SH3BGRL2 was crucial for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression and metastasis in ccRCC. Clinically, SH3BGRL2 was identified as an independent prognostic factor for ccRCC patients. Gain- and loss-of-function results suggested that SH3BGRL2 played a critical role in cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Mechanistically, we found that SH3BGRL2 acted as a tumor suppressor through Hippo/TEAD1 signaling, then TEAD1 altered Twist1 expression at the transcriptional level via directly binding to its promoter region.

Interpretation

Our findings established that SH3BGRL2 performed as a tumor suppressor and modulator via Hippo/TEAD1-Twist1 signaling in ccRCC, and the alteration of SH3BGRL2 could serve as a functional response biomarker of tumor progression and metastasis in ccRCC.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Metastasis is the principal cause of renal cell carcinoma-associated mortality. Metadherin (MTDH) was identified as a vital metastasis driver involved in the metastatic progression of various types of tumors, suggesting that MTDH is a prognostic metastatic biomarker and potential therapeutic target. The role and mechanism of MTDH in the metastatic progression of ccRCC have not yet been adequately explored. RESULTS:MTDH was remarkably elevated in ccRCC tissues, especially in metastatic ccRCC tissues, compared with normal kidney tissues and correlated with advanced clinicopathological features and poor prognosis. MTDH activated ERK signaling and EMT, thus promoting the migration and invasion of ccRCC cells. The interaction between MTDH and SND1 at the protein level was confirmed using immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence. Based on the analysis of datasets from GEO and TCGA, SND1 was remarkably increased in ccRCC, especially in metastatic ccRCC, and associated with advanced clinicopathological features and poor prognosis. Knockdown of SND1 mainly abolished the migration and invasion of ccRCC cells by blocking MTDH-mediated ERK and EMT signaling activation. CONCLUSION:These results revealed that MTDH may be a prognostic metastatic biomarker of ccRCC that promotes ccRCC metastasis by activating SND1-mediated the ERK and EMT signaling pathways. MTDH may serve as an anti-tumor therapeutic target that can be applied for the clinical treatment of metastatic ccRCC. METHODS:MTDH/SND1 mRNA expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) was comprehensively estimated by analysis of GEO-ccRCC and TCGA-KIRC datasets with R software and packages. MTDH protein expression was assessed in a total of 111 ccRCC patients from Peking University First Hospital by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In vitro migration and invasion assays were carried out, and an in vivo metastatic mouse model was developed to investigate the biological functions of MTDH in ccRCC cells. Correlation analysis, immunoprecipitation, western blotting and immunofluorescence were applied to explore the molecular mechanisms of MTDH in ccRCC.

Project description:BackgroundClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common malignant tumour of the urinary tract. The major causes of poor prognosis are the lack of early diagnosis and metastasis. Accumulating research reveals that circular RNAs (circRNAs) can play key roles in the development and the progression of cancer. However, the role of circRNAs in ccRCC is still uncertain.MethodsThe circRNAs microarray (n = 4) was performed to investigate the circRNAs with differential expression in ccRCC tissues. The candidate circRNA was selected based on the cut-off criteria, such as circRNA expression abundance, circRNA size and the design of divergent primers. The circ-transportin-3 (TNPO3) levels in ccRCC tissues were tested by quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR (n = 110). The characteristics and subcellular localization of circ-TNPO3 were identified via RNase R assay, qRT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Then, we explored the biological roles of circ-TNPO3 in ccRCC via the function experiments in vitro and in vivo. RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, bioinformatic analysis, RNA-FISH assays and rescue assays were applied to validate the interactions between circ-TNPO3, insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) and serpin family H member 1 (SERPINH1) to uncover the underlying molecular mechanisms of circ-TNPO3.ResultsWe detected the obvious downregulation of circ-TNPO3 in ccRCC compared to matched adjacent normal tissues (n = 110). The lower circ-TNPO3 expression was found in ccRCC patients with distant metastasis, higher World Health Organization/International Society of Urologic Pathologists (WHO/ISUP) grade and more advanced tumour T stage. In vitro and in vivo, circ-TNPO3 significantly suppressed the proliferation and migration of ccRCC cells. Mechanistically, we elucidated that circ-TNPO3 directly bound to IGF2BP2 protein and then destabilized SERPINH1 mRNA. Moreover, IGF2BP2/SERPINH1 axis was responsible for circ-TNPO3's function of inhibiting ccRCC metastasis. Epithelial splicing regulatory protein 1 (ESRP1) was probably involved in the biogenesis of circ-TNPO3.ConclusionsCirc-TNPO3 can suppress ccRCC progression and metastasis via directly binding to IGF2BP2 protein and destabilizing SERPINH1 mRNA. Circ-TNPO3 may act as a potential target for ccRCC treatment.
