Multidimensional Analysis of the Role of Charged Multivesicular Body Protein 7 in Pan-Cancer

ABSTRACT:

Background

Charged multivesicular body protein 7 is briefly referred to as CHMP7, and it plays a significant role in the endosomal sorting pathway. CHMP7 can form a complex with ESCRTIII to jointly complete the process of contraction, shear bud neck and final membrane shedding.

Methods

TCGA, GEO and CPTAC were chosen for the analysis of the role of CHMP7 in pan-cancer. Role of CHMP7 in pan-cancer was analyzed using R software and tools such as TIMER, GEPIA, UALCAN, String and DiseaseMeth. It includes differential expression analysis of CHMP7, survival analysis, genetic variation analysis, DNA methylation analysis, post-translationally modified protein phosphorylation analysis and functional enrichment analysis.

Results

CHMP7 presents low expression in the majority of tumor tissues and the prognosis is poor in the low expression group. The common gene mutation in CHMP7 is deep deletion, which may lead to frameshift mutations, resulting in a poor prognosis. Functional alterations due to DNA methylation and post-transcriptional protein modifications may be closely associated with tumors. GO analysis revealed that CHMP7-related genes are involved in the composition of the various ESCRT complexes. In terms of molecular function, they mainly bind to GTP, exert GTPase activity and promote multivesicular bodies assembly. In the KEGG enrichment analysis, the main pathways expressed by CHMP7 and related genes were endocytosis, gap junction and phagosome.

Conclusion

Pan-cancer analysis showed that CHMP7 expression was statistically correlated with clinical prognosis, DNA methylation, protein phosphorylation and immune cell infiltration, which may provide new ideas or targets for the diagnosis or treatment.

Project description:Background: Cardiac autophagic flux is impaired during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R). Impaired autophagic flux may exacerbate MI/R injury. Charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) is a subunit of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT-III) complex that is required for autophagy. However, the reverse role of CHMP2B accumulation in autophagy and MI/R injury has not been established. The objective of this article is to elucidate the roles of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/atrogin-1 pathways in inhibiting CHMP2B accumulation in ischemia-reperfusion injury. Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice (3-4 months) and H9c2 cardiomyocytes were used to evaluate MI/R and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in vivo and in vitro, respectively. MI/R was built by a left lateral thoracotomy and occluded the left anterior descending artery. H9c2 cells were firstly treated in 95% N2 and 5% CO2 for 15 h and reoxygenation for 1 h. Metformin (100 mg/kg/d) and CHMP2B (Ad-CHMP2B) transfected adenoviruses were administered to the mice. The H9c2 cells were treated with metformin (2.5 mM), MG-132 (10 μM), bafilomycin A1 (10 nM), and compound C (20 μM). Results: Autophagic flux was found to be inhibited in H/R-treated cardiomyocytes and MI/R mice, with elevated cardiac CHMP2B accumulation. Upregulated CHMP2B levels in the in vivo and in vitro experiments were shown to inhibit autophagic flux leading to the deterioration of H/R-cardiomyocytes and MI/R injury. This finding implies that CHMP2B accumulation increases the risk of myocardial ischemia. Metformin suppressed CHMP2B accumulation and ameliorated H/R-induced autophagic dysfunction by activating AMPK. Activated AMPK upregulated the messenger RNA expression and protein levels of atrogin-1, a muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase, in the myocardium. Atrogin-1 significantly enhanced the interaction between atrogin-1 and CHMP2B, therefore, promoting CHMP2B degradation in the MI/R myocardium. Finally, this study revealed that metformin-inhibited CHMP2B accumulation induced autophagic impairment and ischemic susceptibility in vivo through the AMPK-regulated CHMP2B degradation by atrogin-1. Conclusion: Impaired CHMP2B clearance in vitro and in vivo inhibits autophagic flux and weakens the myocardial ischemic tolerance. Metformin treatment degrades CHMP2B through the AMPK-atrogin-1-dependent pathway to maintain the homeostasis of autophagic flux. This is a novel mechanism that enriches the understanding of cardioprotection.

Project description:Immunotherapy can improve survival in a variety of cancers by modulating the interaction between tumors and the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). V-set and transmembrane domain containing 2 like (VSTM2L) regulates interleukin (IL)-4 signaling pathway-which involves immune-related factors-and has been linked to some cancers. However, the expression profile and prognostic significance of VSTM2L in different cancers as well as its relationship to the TIME are not known. This study investigated the pan-cancer expression profile, prognostic value, and immunologic relevance of VSTM2L. VSTM2L expression in different cancers was analyzed using the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE), Human Protein Atlas (HPA), Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) portal. We examined the association between VSTM2L expression and clinical outcomes by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses using TCGA and Kaplan-Meier Plotter, and the results were validated in a Gene Expression Omnibus cohort. The correlations between VSTM2L expression and immune cell infiltration, immunomodulators, tumor mutation burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and immune and stromal scores across cancers were analyzed using TCGA, TIMER, and Tumor-Immune System Interactions and Drugbank databases (TISIDB). The results showed that VSTM2L expression varied across cancers and its aberrant expression was associated with clinical outcomes: upregulation of VSTM2L was positively associated with advanced stage and reduced overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), progression-free interval (PFI), and disease-free interval (DFI) in stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD); and its upregulation was associated with early-stage disease and improved OS, DSS, PFI, and DFI in kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP). VSTM2L expression level was correlated with immune cell infiltration, expression of immunomodulators, TMB, MSI, and immune and stromal scores in multiple cancers. In conclusion, VSTM2L has prognostic value in various cancers and can predict both poor (STAD) and good (KIRP) outcomes. The relationship between VSTM2L expression and immune markers suggests a role in modulating the TIME.
