Role of CSN5 in breast cancer (siRNA transfections)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: CSN5 has been implicated as a candidate oncogene in human breast cancers by genetic linkage with activation of the poor-prognosis, wound response gene expression signature. CSN5 is a subunit of the eight-protein COP9 signalosome, a signaling complex with multiple biochemical activities; the mechanism of CSN5 action in cancer development remains poorly understood. Here we show that CSN5 isopeptidase activity is essential for breast epithelial transformation and progression. Amplification of CSN5 is required for transformation of primary human breast epithelial cells by defined oncogenes. The transforming effects of CSN5 require CSN subunits for assembly of the full COP9 signalosome and the isopeptidase activity of CSN5, which potentiates the transcriptional activity of MYC. Transgenic inhibition of CSN5 isopeptidase activity blocks breast cancer progression evoked by MYC and RAS in vivo. These results highlight CSN5 isopeptidase activity in breast cancer progression, suggesting it as a therapeutic target in aggressive human breast cancers. A genetic modification design type is where an organism(s) has had genetic material removed, rearranged, mutagenized or added, such as knock out. Keywords: genetic_modification_design

Project description:The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a highly conserved eukaryotic protein complex which regulates the Cullin-RING family of ubiquitin ligases and carries out a deneddylase activity that resides in subunit 5 (CSN5). The budding yeast CSN is biochemically active and deletion mutants of each of its subunits exhibit deficiency in deneddylation of cullins, although the biological context of this activity is still unknown in this organism. To further characterize CSN function in budding yeast, we present here a transcriptomic analysis of a S. cerevisiae strain deleted in CSN5/RRI1 gene (hereafter referred to as CSN5), coding for the only canonical subunit of the complex. We show that Csn5 is involved in the modulation of the genes controlling aminoacid and lipid metabolism, and especially ergosterol biosynthesis. These alterations in gene expression correlate with the lower ergosterol levels and increased intracellular zinc content which we observed in csn5 null mutant cells. Two biological replicates, csn5 deleted strain vs. isogenic wild-type strain W303

Project description:Development of targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major challenge. We have recently identified an elevated expression of the fifth subunit of COP9 signalosome (CSN5) in early HCC as compared to dysplastic stage. In the present study, we explored the possibility of CSN5 being a potential therapeutic target for HCC. We demonstrate that CSN5 knockdown by small interfering (si) RNA caused a block in cell proliferation and cell cycle progression, and induced apoptosis of HCC cells in vitro. The transcriptomic analysis of CSN5 knockdown signature by microarray showed that the anti-proliferative effect was driven by a common subset of molecular alterations including downregulation of CDK6 or ITGB1, which are involved in cell cycle regulation or tumor invasion and functionally interconnected with key oncogenic regulators such as TGFβ1 and MYC. Western blot assay showed that CSN5 depletion significantly increases the phosphorylation of Smad2/3 and decreases the expression of ITGB1, CDK6 and cyclin D1 proteins, restoring the tumor suppressive function of RB and thereby contributing to inhibition of cell cycle progression. In addition, CSN5 knockdown increased the expression of Bak but decreased the level of Bcl-2, subsequently leading to apoptosis through the activation of caspase-3. A chemically modified variant of CSN5 siRNA was then selected for in vivo application based on the growth inhibitory effect and minimal induction of unwanted immune response. Systemic delivery of the CSN5 3/8 variant by stable-nucleic-acid-lipid-particles (SNALP) significantly suppressed the tumor growth in Huh7-luc+ orthotopic xenograft model. Taken together, these results indicate that CSN5 plays a pivotal role in HCC pathogenesis and maybe an attractive molecular target for systemic HCC therapy. Huh7 and HepG2 cells were treated with CSN5 siRNA and negative control siRNA for 48 hours and subjected to Illumina microarray analysis. 4 replicates each.

Project description:Oligodendrocytes are the primary target of demyelinating disorders in the CNS, which may evolve in neurodegeneration. DNA damage and oxidative stress are considered key pathogenic events, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Moreover, comprehensive animal models are lacking or do not fully recapitulate human diseases, complicating the path to effective treatments. Here we report that mice with cell autonomous deletion of the COP9 signalosome component CSN5 (Jab1) in oligodendrocytes develop DNA damage and defective DNA repair in myelinating glial cells. Interestingly, oligodendrocytes lacking Jab1 expression undergo a senescence-like phenotype that fosters chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. These mutants develop progressive CNS demyelination, microglia inflammation and neurodegeneration, with severe motor deficits and premature death. Notably, blocking microglia inflammation did not prevent neurodegeneration; whereas, deletion of p21CIP1 but not p16INK4a pathway ameliorated the disease. We suggest that senescence is key to sustaining neurodegeneration in demyelinating disorders and might represent a new potential therapeutic target.
