CCDC50 promotes glioblastoma progression through regulating EGFR cell-surface recycle

ABSTRACT: Glioblastomas (GBM) are a kind of malignant tumor with high mortality. However, the mechanism of tumor progression remains poorly understood. Specifically, we find that the expression of autolysosome-associated protein CCDC50, is positively correlated with tumor malignancy, and poor survival of GBM patients. CCDC50 functions as a specific cargo adaptor to assist EGFR recycling back to the plasma membrane, leading to prolonged activation of the downstream signaling pathways. We reveal that targeting CCDC50 in GBM may be a promising therapeutic strategy, as CCDC50 deficiency significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, targeting CCDC50 together with alkylating agent temozolomide (TMZ) induces synergistic function in regression of GBM tumors, representing an alternative strategy for malignant tumor therapy. We performed transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) in shCtrl and shCCDC50 cells to evaluate the GBM tumor growth and metastasis controlled by CCDC50.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) carries a dismal prognosis largely due to acquired resistance to the standard treatment, which incorporates the chemotherapy temozolomide (TMZ). Inhibiting the proteasomal pathway is an emerging strategy, where combination treatments are under clinical investigation. We hypothesized that pre-treatment of GBM with bortezomib (BTZ) might sensitize glioblastoma to TMZ by abolishing autophagy survival signals to augment DNA damage and apoptosis. P3 patient-derived GBM cells as well as the tumor cell lines U87, HF66, A172 and T98G were investigated for clonogenic survival after single or combined treatment with TMZ and BTZ in vitro. Change in autophagic flux was examined after experimental treatments in conjunction with inhibitors of autophagy or downregulation of autophagy-related genes -5 and -7 (ATG5 and ATG7, respectively). Autophagic flux was increased in TMZ-resistant P3 and T98G cells as indicated by diminished levels of the autophagy markers LC3A/B-II and increased STX17, higher protein degradation and no formation of p62 bodies nor induction of apoptosis. In contrast, BTZ treatment attenuated ULK1 mRNA, total and phosphorylated protein, and accumulated LC3A/B-II, p62 and autophagosomes analogously to Baf1 and chloroquine autophagy inhibitors. These autophagosomes did not fuse with lysosomes, indicated by attenuated STX17 expression and reduced degradation of long-lived proteins, which culminated in enhanced caspase-3/8 dependent apoptosis. BTZ synergistically enhanced TMZ efficacy, attenuated tumor cell proliferation, triggered ATM/Chk2 DNA damage signalling to further augment caspase-3/8 mediated apoptosis in the TMZ resistant P3 and T98G GBM cells. Genetic or chemical inhibition of autophagy (with CRISPR-CAs9 ATG5, ATG7 shRNA, MRT68921 or VPS34-IN1) abrogated BTZ efficacy and rescued BTZ+ TMZ treated GBM cells from death. We conclude that Bortezomib ameliorates temozolomide resistance through ATG5/7-dependent abrogated autophagic flux and may be amenable in combination treatment regimens for TMZ refractory GBM patients.
