Heterogenous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein H1 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression through the Stabilization of mRNA of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Lyase 1.

ABSTRACT: The oncogenic properties of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H1 (hnRNP H1) have been reported, although the tumor-promoting mechanism remains unclear. We herein report the mechanism underlying colorectal cancer cell progression mediated by hnRNP H1. The growth of colorectal cancer cells was suppressed by hnRNP H1 downregulation. A terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling assay revealed the anti-apoptotic effect of hnRNP H1 in colorectal cancer cells. An RNA immunoprecipitation assay revealed that hnRNP H1 bound to sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase 1 (SGPL1). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed the high expression of hnRNP H1 mRNA in colorectal cancer cells and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient showed a strong positive correlation between hnRNP H1 mRNA and SGPL1 mRNA. An siRNA of hnRNP H1 decreased SGPL1 mRNA expression in colorectal cancer cells, but not in non-tumorous cells. These findings suggested that hnRNP H1 increased SGPL1 mRNA expression specifically in cancer cells through direct binding. Targeted knockdown of hnRNP H1 or SGPL1 with siRNAs upregulated p53 phosphorylation and p53-associated molecules, resulting in cell growth inhibition, while hnRNP H1 upregulated the mRNA of SGPL1 and inhibited p53 activation, thereby promoting tumor cell growth. This is a novel mechanism underlying colorectal cancer cell progression mediated by hnRNP H1-SGPL1 mRNA stabilization.

Project description:Heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G is down-regulated in the spinal cord of the Tg(SOD1*G93A)1Gur (TG) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mouse model. However, most studies have only examined heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G expression in the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis model and heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G effects in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis pathogenesis such as in apoptosis are unknown. In this study, we studied the potential mechanism of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G in neuronal death in the spinal cord of TG and wild-type mice and examined the mechanism by which heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G induces apoptosis. Heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G in spinal cord was analyzed using immunohistochemistry and western blotting, and cell proliferation and proteins (TAR DNA binding protein 43, superoxide dismutase 1, and Bax) were detected by the Cell Counting Kit-8 and western blot analysis in heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G siRNA-transfected PC12 cells. We analyzed heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G distribution in spinal cord in the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis model at various time points and the expressions of apoptosis and proliferation-related proteins. Heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G was mainly localized in neurons. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mice were examined at three stages: preonset (60-70 days), onset (90-100 days) and progression (120-130 days). The number of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G-positive cells was significantly higher in the anterior horn of the lumbar spinal cord segment of TG mice at the preonset stage than that of control group but lower than that of the control group at the onset stage. The number of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G-positive cells in both central canal and surrounding gray matter of the whole spinal cord of TG mice at the onset stage was significantly lower than that in the control group, whereas that of the lumbar spinal cord segment of TG mice was significantly higher than that in the control group at preonset stage and significantly lower than that in the control group at the progression stage. The numbers of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G-positive cells in the posterior horn of cervical and thoracic segments of TG mice at preonset and progression stages were significantly lower than those in the control group. The expression of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G in the cervical spinal cord segment of TG mice was significantly higher than that in the control group at the preonset stage but significantly lower at the progression stage. The expression of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G in the thoracic spinal cord segment of TG mice was significantly increased at the preonset stage, significantly decreased at the onset stage, and significantly increased at the progression stage compared with the control group. heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G expression in the lumbar spinal cord segment of TG mice was significantly lower than that of the control group at the progression stage. After heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G gene silencing, PC12 cell survival was lower than that of control cells. Both TAR DNA binding protein 43 and Bax expressions were significantly increased in heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G-silenced cells compared with control cells. Our study suggests that abnormal distribution and expression of heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G might play a protective effect in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis development via preventing neuronal death by reducing abnormal TAR DNA binding protein 43 generation in the spinal cord.

Project description:Macroautophagy/autophagy defects have been identified as critical factors underlying the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. The roles of the bioactive signaling lipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and its catabolic enzyme SGPL1/SPL (sphingosine phosphate lyase 1) in autophagy are increasingly recognized. Here we provide in vitro and in vivo evidence for a previously unidentified route through which SGPL1 modulates autophagy in neurons. SGPL1 cleaves S1P into ethanolamine phosphate, which is directed toward the synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) that anchors LC3-I to phagophore membranes in the form of LC3-II. In the brains of SGPL1fl/fl/Nes mice with developmental neural specific SGPL1 ablation, we observed significantly reduced PE levels. Accordingly, alterations in basal and stimulated autophagy involving decreased conversion of LC3-I to LC3-II and increased BECN1/Beclin-1 and SQSTM1/p62 levels were apparent. Alterations were also noticed in downstream events of the autophagic-lysosomal pathway such as increased levels of lysosomal markers and aggregate-prone proteins such as APP (amyloid β [A4] precursor protein) and SNCA/α-synuclein. In vivo profound deficits in cognitive skills were observed. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of SGPL1 in cultured neurons promoted these alterations, whereas addition of PE was sufficient to restore LC3-I to LC3-II conversion, and control levels of SQSTM1, APP and SNCA. Electron and immunofluorescence microscopy showed accumulation of unclosed phagophore-like structures, reduction of autolysosomes and altered distribution of LC3 in SGPL1fl/fl/Nes brains. Experiments using EGFP-mRFP-LC3 provided further support for blockage of the autophagic flux at initiation stages upon SGPL1 deficiency due to PE paucity. These results emphasize a formerly overlooked direct role of SGPL1 in neuronal autophagy and assume significance in the context that autophagy modulators hold an enormous therapeutic potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
