KIF22 promotes bladder cancer progression by activating the expression of CDCA3.

ABSTRACT: Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system and is associated with a high morbidity and mortality, due to the difficulty in the accurate diagnosis of patients with early‑stage bladder cancer and the lack of effective treatments for patients with advanced bladder cancer. Thus, novel therapeutic targets are urgently required for this disease. Kinesin family member 22 (KIF22) is a kinesin‑like DNA binding protein belonging to kinesin family, and is involved in the regulation of mitosis. KIF22 has also been reported to promote the progression of several types of cancer, such as breast cancer and melanoma. The present study demonstrates the high expression of KIF22 in human bladder cancer tissues. KIF22 was found to be associated with clinical features, including clinical stage (P=0.003) and recurrence (P=0.016), and to be associated with the prognosis of patients with bladder cancer. Furthermore, it was found that KIF22 silencing inhibited the proliferation of bladder cancer cells in vitro and tumor progression in mice. Additionally, it was noted that KIF22 transcriptionally activated cell division cycle‑associated protein 3 expression, which was also confirmed in tumors in mice. Taken together, the present study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the promotion of bladder cancer by KIF22 and provide a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of bladder cancer.

KIF4A promotes the development of bladder cancer by transcriptionally activating the expression of CDCA3.

Project description:Bladder cancer (BC) is among the most common urinary system tumors with a high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advancements being made in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer, targeted therapy remains the most promising treatment, and novel therapeutic targets are urgently required in to improve the outcomes of patients with BC. Kinesin family member 4A (KIF4A) is a plus‑end directed motor protein involved in the regulation of multiple cellular processes, such as mitosis and axon growth. Notably, KIF4A plays important roles in tumor growth and progression, and its expression is associated with the prognosis of several types of cancer. However, the potential role and molecular mechanisms of KIF4A in bladder cancer development remain unclear. The present study demonstrated that KIF4A was highly expressed in human BC tissues, and its expression was associated with patient clinicopathological characteristics, such as tumor stage (P=0.012) and with the prognosis of patients with BC. It was further found that KIF4A promoted the cell proliferation of bladder cancer both in vitro and in vivo. On the whole, the data presented herein provide evidence that KIF4A promotes the development of BC through the transcriptional activation of the expression of CDCA3. The present study indicates the involvement of KIF4A in the progression of BC and suggests that KIF4A may be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of BC.

SALL4 promotes gastric cancer progression through activating CD44 expression.

Project description:The stem cell factor SALL4 (Sal-like protein 4) plays important roles in the development and progression of cancer. SALL4 is critically involved in tumour growth, metastasis and therapy resistance. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for the oncogenic roles of SALL4 have not been well characterized. In this study, we demonstrated that SALL4 knockdown by short hairpin RNA greatly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. We further confirmed the inhibitory effects of SALL4 knockdown on gastric cancer cells by using a tetracycline-inducible system. Mechanistically, SALL4 knockdown downregulated the expression of CD44. The results of luciferase assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation study showed that SALL4 bound to CD44 promoter region and transcriptionally activated CD44. The results of rescue study revealed that CD44 overexpression antagonized SALL4 knockdown-mediated inhibition of gastric cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and gastric cancer growth in vivo. Collectively, our findings indicate that SALL4 promotes gastric cancer progression through directly activating CD44 expression, which suggests a novel mechanism for the oncogenic roles of SALL4 in gastric cancer and represents a new target for gastric cancer therapy.

MYBL2 promotes proliferation and metastasis of bladder cancer through transactivation of CDCA3

Project description:The transcription factor MYB proto-oncogene like 2 (MYBL2) plays a critical role in the regulation of gene expression and tumorigenesis. However, the biological function of MYBL2 in bladder cancer (BLCA) remains to be elucidated. Here, we first revealed that MYBL2 was elevated in BLCA tissues and was significantly correlated with clinicopathological parameters and cancer-specific survival of BLCA patients. Phenotypic assays showed that MYBL2 deficiency suppressed the proliferation and migration of BLCA cells in vitro and in vivo, whereas overexpression of MYBL2 contributed to the opposite phenotype. Mechanistically, MYBL2 could bind to the promoter of its downstream target gene cell division cycle-associated protein 3 (CDCA3) and transactivate it, which in turn promoted the malignant phenotype of BLCA cells. Further investigations revealed that MYBL2 interacted with forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) to co-regulate the transcription of CDCA3. In addition, MYBL2 and CDCA3 may activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling by inhibiting the suppressor dickkopf-1 (DKK1), thereby regulating the malignant phenotype of BLCA cells. In conclusion, the current study has identified MYBL2 as an oncogene in BLCA. MYBL2 can accelerate the proliferation and metastasis of BLCA through the transactivation of CDCA3.

NOTCH pathway inactivation promotes bladder cancer progression.

Project description:NOTCH signaling suppresses tumor growth and proliferation in several types of stratified epithelia. Here, we show that missense mutations in NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 found in human bladder cancers result in loss of function. In murine models, genetic ablation of the NOTCH pathway accelerated bladder tumorigenesis and promoted the formation of squamous cell carcinomas, with areas of mesenchymal features. Using bladder cancer cells, we determined that the NOTCH pathway stabilizes the epithelial phenotype through its effector HES1 and, consequently, loss of NOTCH activity favors the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Evaluation of human bladder cancer samples revealed that tumors with low levels of HES1 present mesenchymal features and are more aggressive. Together, our results indicate that NOTCH serves as a tumor suppressor in the bladder and that loss of this pathway promotes mesenchymal and invasive features.

MINDY1 promotes bladder cancer progression by stabilizing YAP.

Project description:BackgroundBladder cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed urological malignant tumor. The Hippo tumor suppressor pathway is highly conserved in mammals and plays an important role in carcinogenesis. YAP is one of major key effectors of the Hippo pathway. However, the mechanism supporting abnormal YAP expression in bladder cancer remains to be characterized.MethodsWestern blot was used to measure the expression of MINDY1 and YAP, while the YAP target genes were measured by real-time PCR. CCK8 assay was used to detect the cell viability. The xeno-graft tumor model was used for in vivo study. Protein stability assay was used to detect YAP protein degradation. Immuno-precipitation assay was used to detect the interaction domain between MINDY1 and YAP. The ubiquitin-based Immuno-precipitation assays were used to detect the specific ubiquitination manner happened on YAP.ResultsIn the present study, we identified MINDY1, a DUB enzyme in the motif interacting with ubiquitin-containing novel DUB family, as a bona fide deubiquitylase of YAP in bladder cancer. MINDY1 was shown to interact with, deubiquitylate, and stabilize YAP in a deubiquitylation activity-dependent manner. MINDY1 depletion significantly decreased bladder cancer cell proliferation. The effects induced by MINDY1 depletion could be rescued by further YAP overexpression. Depletion of MINDY1 decreased the YAP protein level and the expression of YAP/TEAD target genes in bladder cancer, including CTGF, ANKRD1 and CYR61.ConclusionIn general, our findings establish a previously undocumented catalytic role for MINDY1 as a deubiquitinating enzyme of YAP and provides a possible target for the therapy of bladder cancer.

Super-Enhancer LncRNA LINC00162 Promotes Progression of Bladder Cancer.

Project description:Due to the lack of effective early diagnostic measures and treatment methods, bladder cancer has become a malignant tumor that seriously threatens people's lives and health. Here, we reported that LINC00162, a super-enhancer long noncoding RNA, was highly expressed in bladder cancer cells and tissues. And LINC00162 was negatively correlated with neighboring PTTG1IP expression. Knocking down LINC00162 expression can inhibit the proliferative activity of bladder cancer cells and the growth of transplanted tumors in vivo, while knocking down the expression of PTTG1IP could restore the proliferative activity of bladder cancer cells. In addition, both LINC00162 and PTTG1IP were found to be able to bind to THRAP3, a transcription-related protein. And THRAP3 can regulate PTTG1IP expression. Finally, we demonstrated a mechanism that LINC00162 could regulate PTTG1IP expression through binding THRAP3. This study provided a potential target molecule for clinical treatment of bladder cancer.

Circ_0006332 promotes growth and progression of bladder cancer by modulating MYBL2 expression via miR-143.

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the role of circular RNAs in the growth and progression of bladder cancer. Direct Sanger sequencing and quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed that circ_0006332 was significantly upregulated in bladder cancer tissues. Sequencing analysis showed that circ_0006332 is generated from splicing of exons 8 and 9 of the MYBL2 transcript. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis showed that circ_0006332 was localized to the cytoplasm of bladder cancer cells. Dual luciferase reporter assays showed that miR-143 specifically bound to circ_0006332 and the 3'UTR of MYBL2. High expression of circ_006332 correlated with tumor-node-metastasis stages and muscular invasion in bladder cancer patients. Knockdown of circ_0006332 in bladder cancer cells decreased proliferation, colony formation and invasiveness. Circ_0006332 knockdown increased E-cadherin levels and decreased Vimentin, CCNB1 and P21 protein expression. This suggests that circ_0006332 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cell cycle progression. In vivo experiments in nude mice showed that circ_0006332 knockdown bladder cancer cells form significantly smaller tumors than the controls. Our study demonstrates that circ_0006332 promotes the growth and progression of bladder cancer by modulating MYBL2 expression by acting as a sponge for miR-143. Circ_0006332 is thus a potential early diagnostic marker of bladder cancer.

E2F6/KDM5C promotes SF3A3 expression and bladder cancer progression through a specific hypomethylated DNA promoter.

Project description:BackgroundAbnormal expression of splicing factor 3A subunit 3 (SF3A3), a component of the spliceosome, has been confirmed to be related to the occurrence and development of various cancers. However, the expression and function of SF3A3 in bladder cancer (BC) remains unclear.MethodsThe SF3A3 mRNA and protein level were measured in clinical samples and cell lines by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Evaluate the clinical correlation between SF3A3 expression and clinicopathological characteristics through statistical analysis in BC patients. The function of SF3A3 in BC cells was determined in vitro using MTT and colony analysis. Co-immunoprecipitation (CoIP) assay was used to detected E2F6 and KDM5C interaction. Luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) were used to examine the relationship between E2F6/KDM5C and SF3A3 expression.ResultsIn the present study, we demonstrated that expression of SF3A3 was elevated in BC tissue compared to the normal bladder tissue. Importantly, the upregulation of SF3A3 in patients was correlated with poor prognosis. Additionally, overexpression of SF3A3 promoted while depletion of SF3A3 reduced the growth of BC cells in vivo and in vitro. Data from the TCGA database and clinical samples revealed that hypomethylation of the DNA promoter leads to high expression of SF3A3 in BC tissue. We found that upregulation of lysine-specific demethylase 5C (KDM5C) promotes SF3A3 expression via hypomethylation of the DNA promoter. The transcription factor E2F6 interacts with KDM5C, recruits KDM5C to the SF3A3 promoter, and demethylates the GpC island of H3K4me2, leading to high SF3A3 expression and BC progression.ConclusionsThe results demonstrated that depletion of the KDM5C/SF3A3 prevents the growth of BC in vivo and in vitro. The E2F6/KDM5C/SF3A3 pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for BC treatment.

NOTCH3 Promotes Malignant Progression of Bladder Cancer by Directly Regulating SPP1 and Activating PI3K/AKT Pathway

Project description:The biological role and precise molecular mechanisms of Notch receptor 3 (NOTCH3) in the malignant progression of bladder cancer (BLCA) remain unclear. In this study, we found that NOTCH3 was significantly upregulated and associated with poor prognosis in BLCA patients. Functional experiments demonstrated that NOTCH3 knockdown inhibited BLCA cell proliferation, migration, invasion and significantly suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in vivo as well. Mechanically, chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that NOTCH3 could promote the transcription of secreted phosphoprotein 1(SPP1), a potential downstream target gene of NOTCH3，by binding to the CSL elements in the SPP1 promoter. Moreover, we also found that targeting NOTCH3 inhibited BLCA growth and metastasis by suppressing the SPP1-PI3K/AKT axis. Our study highlights the critical role of NOTCH3-SPP1-PI3K/AKT axis in the malignant progression of BLCA, suggesting that NOTCH3 may be a potential therapeutic target for BLCA.
