Phosphatase POPX2 exhibits dual regulatory functions in cancer metastasis

ABSTRACT: Cancer metastasis is a complex mechanism involving multiple processes. In an earlier study, we reported that the levels of serine/threonine phosphatase POPX2were positively correlated with cancer cell motility through modulating MAPK signaling. Surprisingly, here we found that POPX2 knockdown cells induced more numerous and larger tumor nodules in lungs in longer term animal studies. Interestingly, our analysis of DNA microarray data from cancer patient samples that are available on public databases shows that low POPX2 expression is linked to poor survival rate and patients with distant metastasis.These observations suggest that lower levels of POPX2 may favor tumor progression in later stages of metastasis.We hypothesize that POPX2 may do so by modulation of angiogenesis. Secretomeanalysis of POPX2-knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells using LC-MS/MS based SILAC quantitative proteomics and cytokine arrayshow that silencing of POPX2 leads to increased secretion of exosomes, which may in turn induce multiple pro-angiogenic cytokines.This study, combined with our earlier findings,suggeststhat a single ubiquitously expressed phosphatase POPX2 influences cancer metastasisvia modulating multiple biological processes including MAPK signaling and exosome-cytokine secretion.

Cancer metastasis is a complex mechanism involving multiple processes. Previously, our integrative proteome, transcriptome, and phosphoproteome study reported that the levels of serine/threonine phosphatase POPX2 were positively correlated with cancer cell motility through modulating MAPK signaling.

Project description:Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is one of the most common serine/threonine phosphatases in mammalian cells and primarily functions to regulate cell signaling, glycolipid metabolism, and apoptosis. Its PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) plays an important role in its function. Nonetheless, at present, there are only a few reports on the regulatory role of PP2Ac in pancreatic β-cells under lipotoxicity. Mouse pancreatic insulinoma (MIN6) cells were transfected by lentiviruses to generate PP2Ac knockdown cells and incubated with palmitate (PA) to establish the lipotoxicity model. Serine/Threonine Phosphatase Assay System kit, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western Blotting (WB) and other techniques were used to measure PP2A activity, cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and insulin secretion. An animal model of lipotoxicity with knockdown of PP2Ac was established by a high-fat diet (HFD) after using adeno-associated viruses (AAV) to interfere with PP2Ac expression in mouse pancreatic tissues. Serine/Threonine Phosphatase Assay System kit, ELISA, pancreatic tissue immunofluorescence and other techniques were used to measure PP2A activity in pancreatic tissue, serum insulin level and the proliferation of mouse pancreatic β-cells. We found that PP2Ac knockdown inhibited lipotoxicity-induced PP2A hyperactivation, increased the resistance of pancreatic β-cells to lipotoxicity, decreased PA-induced apoptosis in MIN6 cells, protected the function of both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, and improved insulin secretion. By mRNA sequencing and Western blotting analysis, we hypothesized that the protective effects of PP2Ac knockdown in MIN6 cells may be mediated by the MAPK pathway. Moreover, the results obtained from animal experiments suggest that the specific knockdown of pancreatic PP2Ac could effectively attenuate HFD-induced insulin resistance and reduce the compensatory proliferation of pancreatic β-cells in mice. The present study revealed the effects and mechanisms of interfering with PP2Ac gene expression on pancreatic β-cells in vivo and in vitro, which might provide insights for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the clinic.
