Key MicroRNA's and Their Targetome in Adrenocortical Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis and limited response to available systemic therapies. Although complete surgical resection gives the best chance for long-term survival, ACC has a two-year recurrence rate of 50%, which poses a therapeutic challenge. High throughput analyses focused on characterizing the molecular signature of ACC have revealed specific micro-RNAs (miRNAs) that are associated with aggressive tumor phenotypes. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by inhibiting mRNA translation or degrading mRNA transcripts and have been generally implicated in carcinogenesis. This review summarizes the current insights into dysregulated miRNAs in ACC tumorigenesis, their known functions, and specific targetomes. In addition, we explore the possibility of particular miRNAs to be exploited as clinical biomarkers in ACC and as potential therapeutics.

Project description:Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is a lysosomal degradation pathway of select soluble proteins. Nearly one-third of the soluble proteins are predicted to be recognized by this pathway, yet only a minor fraction of this proteome has been identified as CMA substrates in cancer cells. Here, we undertook a quantitative multiplex mass spectrometry approach to study the proteome of isolated lysosomes in cancer cells during CMA-activated conditions. By integrating bioinformatics analyses, we identified and categorized proteins of multiple cellular pathways that were specifically targeted by CMA. Beyond verifying metabolic pathways, we show that multiple components involved in select biological processes, including cellular translation, was specifically targeted for degradation by CMA. In particular, several proteins of the translation initiation complex were identified as bona fide CMA substrates in multiple cancer cell lines of distinct origin and we show that CMA suppresses cellular translation. We further show that the identified CMA substrates display high expression in multiple primary cancers compared to their normal counterparts. Combined, these findings uncover cellular processes affected by CMA and reveal a new role for CMA in the control of translation in cancer cells.
