Project description:Nuclear factor erythroid 2 like (Nfe2l) gene family members 1-3 mediate cellular response to oxidative stress, including in the central nervous system (CNS). However, neuronal functions of Nfe2l3 are unknown. Here, we comparatively evaluated expression of Nfe2l1, Nfe2l2, and Nfe2l3 in singe cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq)-profiled cortical and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) CNS projection neurons, investigated whether Nfe2l3 regulates neuroprotection and axon regeneration after CNS injury in vivo, and characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons. We showed that, Nfe2l3 expression transiently peaks in developing immature cortical and RGC projection neurons, but is nearly abolished in adult neurons and is not upregulated after injury. Furthermore, within the retina, Nfe2l3 is enriched in RGCs, whereas Nfe2l1 and Nfe2l2 are expressed robustly in other retinal cell types as well, and are also upregulated after injury. We also found that, expressing Nfe2l3 in injured RGCs through localized intralocular viral vector delivery promotes neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration after optic nerve injury in vivo. Moreover, Nfe2l3 treatment provided a similar extent of neuroprotection and axon regeneration as viral vector-targeting of Pten and Klf9, which are prominent regulators of neuroprotection and long-distance axon regeneration. Finally, we bioinformatically characterized a gene network associated with Nfe2l3 in neurons, which revealed the association of Nfe2l3 with established mechanisms of neuroprotection and axon regeneration. Thus, Nfe2l3 is a novel neuroprotection and axon regeneration-promoting factor with a therapeutic potential for treating CNS injury and disease.

Project description:In order to determine how NAT10 regulates NFE2L3 to promote the progression of ccRCC, since NFE2L3 is a transcription factor, we performed CHP-seq detection for NFE2L3, as well as RNA-seq detection for 786-O cells with stable NFE2L3 knocking and control 786-O cells. The results of RNA-seq showed that 312 transcripts in the NFE2L3 knockdown group were down-regulated, and 3 114 transcripts in the previous ccRCC tissue were up-regulated. Moreover, after comprehensive analysis of ChIP-seq, there were 12 overlapping transcripts. Analysis of the expression levels of 12 transcripts in control cells and stable NFE2L3 knockout cells showed that the expression level of LASP1 was the highest in cells, so we hypothesized that NFE2L3 promoted the progression of ccRCC by affecting LASP1.

Project description:Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that regulates adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. The transcriptional activity of PPAR? is regulated not only by ligands but also by post-translational modifications (PTMs). In this study, we demonstrate that a novel E3 ligase of PPAR?, tripartite motif-containing 25 (TRIM25), directly induced the ubiquitination of PPAR?, leading to its proteasome-dependent degradation. During adipocyte differentiation, both TRIM25 mRNA and protein expression significantly decreased and negatively correlated with the expression of PPAR?. The stable expression of TRIM25 reduced PPAR? protein levels and suppressed adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells. In contrast, the specific knockdown of TRIM25 increased PPAR? protein levels and stimulated adipocyte differentiation. Furthermore, TRIM25-knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibited an increased adipocyte differentiation capability compared with wild-type MEFs. Taken together, these data indicate that TRIM25 is a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase of PPAR? and that TRIM25 is a novel target for PPAR?-associated metabolic diseases.

Project description:It has been proved that TRAFs family proteins played malfunctioning roles in the development of human cancers. TRAF7 is the last one of TRAFs family proteins to be found, which was demonstrated to be involved in a serious of cancers development. In this study, we systematically investigated the molecular mechanisms of TRAF7 in facilitating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We discovered that TRAF7 was overexpressed in tumor tissues and the increased TRAF7 expression was closely associated with tumor size, histologic grade, TNM stage and poor prognostication. TRAF7 overexpression repressed cell apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation, invasion and migration, whereas knockdown of TRAF7 in HCC cells had totally opposite effects. Besides, we identified the interaction between TRAF7 and P53 in HCC and demonstrated that TRAF7 promoted ubiquitin-proteasome mediated degradation of P53 at K48 site. The rescue assays further proved that the function of TRAF7 in inhibiting apoptosis and promoting tumor development was depended on P53 in HCC. Overall, this work identified that TARF7 promoted tumorigenesis by targeted degradation P53 for ubiquitin-mediated proteasome pathway. Targeting the TRAF7-P53 axis may provide new insights in the pathogenesis of HCC, and pave the way for developing novel strategies for HCC prevention and treatment.

Project description:To determine the role of NAT10 in promoting the progression of ccRCC, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) and ac4C-modified RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (acRIP-seq) on four pairs of ccRCC tissues and their adjacent tissues. A comprehensive analysis of acRIP-seq and RNA-seq showed that the expression and acetylation levels of 199 transcripts were increased . We selected 11 candidate genes of interest and analyzed their acetylation levels. Since ac4C modification can improve mRNA stability, the 11 candidate genes were verified, and the results showed that only NFE2L3 mRNA levels decreased in 786-O cells and A498 cells after NAT10 stable knockdown , so we decided to study the mechanism of action of NFE2L3 in ccRCC.

Project description:Downregulation of p53 by MDM2-mediated proteasomal degradation makes cells resistant to apoptosis. The MDM2-p53 interaction is well characterized, but the mechanisms that regulate the interaction are not well understood. Here, we show that PA28gamma, a proteasome activator that inhibits apoptosis and promotes cell cycle progression through unknown mechanisms, exerts an effect as a cofactor in the MDM2-p53 interaction. The polymer form of PA28gamma interacts with both MDM2 and p53 proteins and facilitates their physical interaction. This promotes ubiquitination- and MDM2-dependent proteasomal degradation of p53, limiting its accumulation and resulting in inhibited apoptosis after DNA damage. Elimination of endogenous PA28gamma in human cancer cells abrogates MDM2-mediated p53 degradation, increases the activity of p53, and enhances apoptosis. These findings reveal the mechanism by which PA28gamma affects apoptosis and proliferation. Manipulation of the level of PA28gamma, an approach that would regulate the cellular content of p53, may improve the efficacy of current cancer therapies.

Project description:p53 protein turnover through the ubiquitination pathway is a vital mechanism in the regulation of its transcriptional activity; however, little is known about p53 turnover through proteasome-independent pathway(s). The digestive organ expansion factor (Def) protein is essential for the development of digestive organs. In zebrafish, loss of function of def selectively upregulates the expression of p53 response genes, which raises a question as to what is the relationship between Def and p53. We report here that Def is a nucleolar protein and that loss of function of def leads to the upregulation of p53 protein, which surprisingly accumulates in the nucleoli. Our extensive studies have demonstrated that Def can mediate the degradation of p53 protein and that this process is independent of the proteasome pathway, but dependent on the activity of Calpain3, a cysteine protease. Our findings define a novel nucleolar pathway that regulates the turnover function of p53, which will advance our understanding of p53's role in organogenesis and tumorigenesis.

Project description:Both transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) regulate important cellular processes, such as apoptosis in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the mechanisms of regulation of PTHrP by TGF-β are largely unknown. We hypothesized that TGF-β regulates the expression of PTHrP protein through a post-translational mechanism. Using hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines as the in vitro model, we investigated the effects of TGF-β on protein expression and post-translational processing of PTHrP. We found that TGF-β treatment led to protein degradation of PTHrP through the ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent pathway. We also provided evidence to show that Smurf2 was the E3 ligase responsible for the ubiquitination of PTHrP. Furthermore, using immunohistochemistry on human hepatocellular carcinoma specimens and a tissue array, we found that the expression of PTHrP was predominantly in the cancer cells, whereas the expression of TGF-β was present in non-neoplastic liver tissue adjacent to hepatocellular carcinoma. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism whereby TGF-β may regulate PTHrP in hepatocellular carcinogenesis and lack of TGF-β in hepatocellular carcinoma may promote cancer progression. Promotion of PTHrP degradation provides a novel target of therapeutic intervention to sensitize hepatocellular carcinoma cells to cytostatic and/or pro-apoptotic signals.
