Project description:The RNA-binding protein RC3H1 (also known as ROQUIN) promotes TNFalpha mRNA decay via a 3'UTR constitutive decay element (CDE). Here, we applied PAR-CLIP to human RC3H1 to identify about 3800 mRNA targets with more than 16000 binding sites. A large number of sites are distinct from the consensus CDE and revealed a structure-sequence motif with U-rich sequences embedded in hairpins. RC3H1 binds preferentially short-lived and DNA damage induced mRNAs, indicating a role of this RNA-binding protein in the posttranscriptional regulation of the DNA damage response. Intriguingly, RC3H1 affects expression of NF-kB pathway regulators such as IkBalpha and A20. RC3H1 uses roquin and Zn-finger domains to contact a binding site in the A20 3'UTR, demonstrating a not yet recognized mode of RC3H1 binding. Knockdown of RC3H1 resulted in increased A20 protein expression, thereby interfering with IkB kinase and NF-kB activities, demonstrating that RC3H1 can modulate the activity of the IKK/NF-kB pathway.

Project description:The RNA-binding protein RC3H1 (also known as ROQUIN) promotes TNFα mRNA decay via a 3'UTR constitutive decay element (CDE). Here we applied PAR-CLIP to human RC3H1 to identify ∼ 3,800 mRNA targets with >16,000 binding sites. A large number of sites are distinct from the consensus CDE and revealed a structure-sequence motif with U-rich sequences embedded in hairpins. RC3H1 binds preferentially short-lived and DNA damage-induced mRNAs, indicating a role of this RNA-binding protein in the post-transcriptional regulation of the DNA damage response. Intriguingly, RC3H1 affects expression of the NF-κB pathway regulators such as IκBα and A20. RC3H1 uses ROQ and Zn-finger domains to contact a binding site in the A20 3'UTR, demonstrating a not yet recognized mode of RC3H1 binding. Knockdown of RC3H1 resulted in increased A20 protein expression, thereby interfering with IκB kinase and NF-κB activities, demonstrating that RC3H1 can modulate the activity of the IKK/NF-κB pathway.

Project description:Chemoresistance is one of the leading causes that contributes to tumor relapse and poor patient outcome after several rounds of drug therapy. The causes of chemoresistance are multi-factorial. Ultimately, it is the balance of pro- and anti-apoptotic activities in the cells. We have previously reported links between POPX2 serine/threonine phosphatase with cell motility and invasiveness of breast cancer cells. Here, we show that POPX2 plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis. The effect of POPX2 on apoptosis centers on the inactivation of TGF-β activated kinase (TAK1). TAK1 is essential for several important biological functions including innate immunity, development and cell survival. We find that POPX2 interacts directly with TAK1 and is able to dephosphorylate TAK1. Cells with lower levels of POPX2 exhibit higher TAK1 activity in response to etoposide (VP-16) treatment. This subsequently leads to increased translocation of NF-κB from the cytosol to the nucleus. Consequently, NF-κB-mediated transcription of anti-apoptotic proteins is upregulated to promote cell survival. On the other hand, cells with higher levels of POPX2 are more vulnerable to apoptosis induced by etoposide. Our data demonstrate that POPX2 is a negative regulator of TAK1 signaling pathway and modulates apoptosis through the regulation of TAK1 activity. As inhibition of TAK1 has been proposed to reduce chemoresistance and increase sensitivity to chemotherapy in certain types of cancer, modulation of POPX2 levels may provide an additional avenue and consideration in fine-tuning therapeutic response.

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant epithelial carcinoma of the nasopharynx. Cylindromatosis lysine 63 deubiquitinase (CYLD), a NF-kB inhibitor, was reported as one of the top mutated candidate genes in NPC. NF-kB is an inducible transcription factor, contributing to cancer via regulating inflammation, angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and metastasis. In this study, the impact of CYLD on regulating the NF-kB signaling pathway and its contribution to NPC development was studied using in vitro and in vivo functional assays, together with single cell RNA sequencing to understand the NPC tumor microenvironment. CYLD was downregulated in NPC clinical specimens and multiple cell lines. Functional assays revealed CYLD inhibits NPC cell proliferation and migration in vitro and suppresses NPC tumorigenicity and metastasis in vivo by negatively regulating the NF-kB signaling pathway. Additionally, CYLD was able to inhibit fibroblast and endothelial stromal cell infiltration into the NPC tumor microenvironment. These findings suggest that CYLD inhibits NPC development and provides strong evidence supporting a role for CYLD inhibiting fibroblast and endothelial stromal cell infiltration into NPC via suppressing the NF-kB pathway.

Project description:The NF-κB pathway is an essential signalling cascade in the defence against viral infections, including African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection. ASFV encodes more than 151 proteins via its own transcription machinery and possesses a great capacity to evade or subvert antiviral innate immune responses. Although some of these viral proteins have been reported, many remain unknown. Here, we show that pD345L, an ASFV-encoded lambda-like exonuclease, acts as an inhibitor of cGAS/STING-mediated NF-κB signalling by blocking the IkappaB kinase (IKKα/β) activity. Specifically, we showed that overexpression of pD345L suppresses cGAS/STING-induced IFNβ and NF-κB activation, resulting in decreased transcription of IFNβ and several proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1α, IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα. In addition, we showed that pD345L acts at or downstream of IKK and upstream of p65. Importantly, we found that pD345L associates with the KD and HLH domains of IKKα and the LZ domain of IKKβ and thus interrupts their kinase activity towards the downstream substrate IκBα. Finally, we showed that pD345L-mediated inhibition of NF-κB signalling was independent of its exonuclease activity. Considering these results collectively, we concluded that pD345L blocks IKKα/β kinase activity via protein-protein interactions and thus disrupts cGAS/STING-mediated NF-κB signalling.

Project description:Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a negative-strand RNA virus, is the most common cause of epidemic respiratory disease in infants and young children. RSV infection of airway epithelial cells induces the expression of immune/inflammatory genes through the activation of a subset of transcription factors, including Nuclear Factor-?B (NF-?B). In this study we have investigated the role of the non canonical I?B kinase (IKK)? in modulating RSV-induced NF-?B activation. Our results show that inhibition of IKK? activation results in significant impairment of viral-induced NF-?B-dependent gene expression, through a reduction in NF-?B transcriptional activity, without changes in nuclear translocation or DNA-binding activity. Absence of IKK? results in a significant decrease of RSV-induced NF-?B phosphorylation on serine 536, a post-translational modification important for RSV-induced NF-?B-dependent gene expression, known to regulate NF-?B transcriptional activity without affecting nuclear translocation. This study identifies a novel mechanism by which IKK? regulates viral-induced cellular signaling.

Project description:MiR-125b is aberrantly expressed and has a role in the various types of tumors. However, the role and mechanism of miR-125b in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are unclear. In this study, we investigated the role and mechanism of miR-125b in NPC. We observed that miR-125b was significantly upregulated in the NPC tissues relative to normal nasopharyngeal mucosa (NNM), and its increment was correlated with poor patient survival, and was an independent predictor for reduced patient survival; miR-125b promoted NPC cell proliferation and inhibited NPC cell apoptosis; in a mouse model, administration of miR-125b antagomir significantly reduced the growth of NPC xenograft tumors. Mechanistically, we confirmed that A20 was a direct target of miR-125b, and found that activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway by A20 mediated miR-125b-promoting NPC cell proliferation and -inhibiting NPC cell apoptosis. With a combination of loss-of-function and gain-of-function approaches, we further showed that A20 inhibited NPC cell proliferation, induced NPC cell apoptosis, and reduced the growth of NPC xenograft tumors. Moreover, A20 was significantly downregulated, whereas p-p65(RelA) was significantly upregulated in the NPC tissues relative to normal nasopharyngeal mucosa, and miR-125b level was negatively associated with A20 level, whereas positively associated with p-p65 level. Our data demonstrate that miR-125b regulates NPC cell proliferation and apoptosis by targeting A20/NF-κB signaling pathway, and miR-125b acts as oncogene, whereas A20 functions as tumor suppressor in NPC, highlighting the therapeutic potential of miR-125b/A20/NF-κB signaling axis in the NPC.

Project description:Accurate regulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity is crucial to prevent a variety of disorders including immune and inflammatory diseases. Active NF-κB promotes IκBα and A20 expression, important negative regulatory molecules that control the NF-κB response. In this study, using two-hybrid screening we identify the RING-type zinc-finger protein 114 (RNF114) as an A20-interacting factor. RNF114 interacts with A20 in T cells and modulates A20 ubiquitylation. RNF114 acts as negative regulator of NF-κB-dependent transcription, not only by stabilizing the A20 protein but also IκBα. Importantly, we demonstrate that in T cells, the effect of RNF114 is linked to the modulation of T-cell activation and apoptosis but is independent of cell cycle regulation. Altogether, our data indicate that RNF114 is a new partner of A2O involved in the regulation of NF-κB activity that contributes to the control of signaling pathways modulating T cell-mediated immune response.

Project description:A20 is a potent anti-inflammatory protein that inhibits NF-?B, and A20 dysfunction is associated with autoimmunity and B cell lymphoma. A20 harbors a deubiquitination enzyme domain and can employ multiple mechanisms to antagonize ubiquitination upstream of NEMO, a regulatory subunit of the I?B kinase complex (IKK). However, direct evidence of IKK inhibition by A20 is lacking, and the inhibitory mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we show that A20 can directly impair IKK activation without deubiquitination or impairment of ubiquitination enzymes. We find that polyubiquitin binding by A20, which is largely dependent on A20's seventh zinc-finger motif (ZnF7), induces specific binding to NEMO. Remarkably, this ubiquitin-induced recruitment of A20 to NEMO is sufficient to block IKK phosphorylation by its upstream kinase TAK1. Our results suggest a noncatalytic mechanism of IKK inhibition by A20 and a means by which polyubiquitin chains can specify a signaling outcome.
