EIF4G2 Promotes HCC Progression

ABSTRACT: Aberrant translation from mRNAs to proteins plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of various cancers. Here, we revealed that the key proteins involved in translation were up-regulated in two hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cohorts. Specifically, we identified the translation initiation factor EIF4G2 as a marker of poor prognosis, linked to unfavorable overall survival (OS) outcomes. Our in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that EIF4G2 promotes the development and metastasis of HCC. As an essential translation initiation factor, EIF4G2 knockdown disrupts polyribosome stability and inhibits nascent protein synthesis in the Huh-7 and MHCC97H cell lines. By com-paring the proteome and transcriptome of Huh-7 cells, we further identified PLEKHA1 as an essential target of EIF4G2 with IRES-dependent translation. PLEKHA1 was able to rescue the inhibitory effects of EIF4G2 knockdown on cell migration and invasion in both Huh-7 and MHCC97H cells. This research provides novel insights into the critical role of EIF4G2-dependent translation in cancer, where PLEKHA1 promotes HCC progression.

A novel role of stem cell factor SALL4 as an oncofetal protein in hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Treatment of HCC remains abysmal; discovery of novel pathways implicated in hepatocarcinogenesis is needed for more effective therapeutics. SALL4 is a stem cell factor essential for the maintenance of embryonic stem cell self-renewal properties and expressed in fetal liver, but silenced in normal adult liver. We observed that expression of SALL4 in murine liver in a transgenic model led to development of HCC. In humans, SALL4 is re-expressed as an oncofetal protein in a subgroup of HCC patients with unfavorable prognoses. Loss-of-function studies demonstrated that SALL4 is essential for human HCC cell survival and tumorigenicity. We demonstrated that a peptide can block the oncogenic function of SALL4 in HCC by modulating the PTEN/AKT pathway. Our findings reveal a novel role of SALL4 in HCC with important implications for understanding disease mechanisms and development of innovative therapeutics. Cultured cells from HCC cell line SNU-398 with scrambled or SALL4 shRNA knockdown were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Loss of function cancer associated mutations in the EIF4G2 non canonical translation initiation factor

Project description:Tumor cells often exploit the protein translation machinery, resulting in enhanced protein expression essential for tumor growth. Since canonical translation initiation is often suppressed due to cell stress in the tumor microenvironment, non-canonical translation initiation mechanisms become particularly important for shaping the tumor proteome. EIF4G2 is a non-canonical translation initiation factor that mediates internal ribosome entry site (IRES) and upstream open reading frame (uORF) dependent initiation mechanisms, which can be used to modulate protein expression in cancer. Here we explored the contribution of EIF4G2 to cancer by screening the COSMIC database for EIF4G2 somatic mutations in cancer patients.

METTL3 promotes translation in human cancer cells

Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells

Quantitative Proteomics of Mouse Liver (FTO-KO,WT) in response to DEN injection

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the FTO gene encoding a m6A demthylase are associated with obesity and cancer development. However, the functional role of FTO in the developemnt of progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a proteotypic obesity-associated cancer remains unclear. Here, we have generated mice with hepatic FTO deficiency (FTOL-KO) and subjected them to DEN induced HCC-development. FTOL-KO mice exhibit increased HCC burden. While control mice exhibit a dynamic regulation of FTO upon induction of liver damage, this response is abrogated in mice lacking FTO. Proteomic analyses revealed that liver damage-induced increases in FTO expression promotes m6A-demethylation of CUL4A reducing its protein expression. Functionally, knockdown of CUL4A restores the increased hepatocyte proliferation observed upon loss of FTO. Collectively, our study reveals a protective role for FTO-dependent dynamic m6A mRNA demethylation of CUL4A in the initiation of HCC development.

Tid1 Deficiency Disrupting Mitochondria to Drive NASH-Dependent Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) is a significant risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, a preclinical model of progressive NAFLD/NASH is largely lacking. Here, we report that mice with hepatocyte-specific deletion of Tid1, encoding a mitochondrial cochaperone, tended to develop NASH-dependent HCC. Mice with hepatic Tid1 deficiency showed impairing mitochondrial function and causing fatty acid metabolic dysregulation; meanwhile, sequentially developed fatty liver, NASH, and cirrhosis/HCC in a diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced oxidative environment. The pathological signatures of human NASH, including cholesterol accumulation and activation of inflammatory and apoptotic signaling pathways, are also present in these mice. Clinically, low Tid1 expression was associated with unfavorable prognosis in patients with HCC. Empirically, hepatic Tid1 deficiency directly disrupts entire mitochondria that play a key role in the NASH-dependent HCC development. Overall, we established a new mouse model that develops NASH-dependent HCC and provides a promising approach to improve the treatment.

Transcriptomic analysis of the RPS3-regulated genes in HCC cell line

Project description:The human ribosomal protein S3 (RPS3), a component of the small 40S ribosomal subunit, is mainly involved in ribosomal maturation and initiation of translation through association with initiation factors. In this study, we firstly identified that RPS3 played an important role in HCC progression. We performed RNA sequencing to profile gene expression patterns before and after RPS3 knockdown.

The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E regulates flowering and circadian rhythm in Arabidopsis

Project description:Translation initiation is a rate-limiting step in protein synthesis. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays an essential role in the translation initiation process. However, how eIF4E-dependent translation initiation regulates plant growth and development remains not fully understood. In this study, we have found that Arabidopsis eIF4E proteins distribute both in the nucleus and cytoplasm, and only cytoplasmic eIF4E is implicated in the control of flowering time. Results of profiling the genome-wide translation by Ribo-tag sequencing further reveal that eIF4E may regulate plant flowering by affecting homeostatic translation of flowering-time genes, including the Central Oscillator Genes (COGs). Consistent with the hypothesis that transcription-translation feedback loop is the core mechanism to drive the oscillation of circadian clock, we show that the eIF4E-dependent translation modulates the rhythmic oscillation of protein abundance of the clock-related genes (CCGs). Together, our study provides mechanistic insights into how the protein translation regulates multiple developmental processed in Arabidopsis including circadian clock and photoperiodic flowering.

Translation initiation factor eIF4G1 preferentially binds yeast transcript leaders containing conserved oligo-uridine motifs

Project description:Translational control of gene expression plays essential roles in cellular stress responses and organismal development by enabling rapid, selective, and localized control of protein production. Translational regulation depends on context-dependent differences in the protein output of mRNAs, but the key mRNA features that distinguish efficiently translated mRNAs are largely unknown. Here we comprehensively determined the RNA-binding preferences of the initiation factor eIF4G to assess whether this core translation initiation factor has intrinsic sequence preferences that contribute to preferential translation of specific mRNAs.
