چکیده

The Lethal giant larvae (Lgl) gene encodes a cortical cytoskeleton protein, Lgl, and is involved in maintaining cell polarity and epithelial integrity. Previously, we observed that Mgl-1, a mammalian homologue of the Drosophila tumor suppressor protein Lgl, is subjected to degradation via ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and scaffolding protein RanBPM prevents the turnover of the Mgl-1 protein. Consequently, overexpression of RanBPM enhances Mgl-1-mediated cell proliferation and migration. Here, we analyzed the ability of ubiquitin-specific protease 11 (USP11) as a novel regulator of Mgl-1 and it requires RanBPM to regulate proteasomal degradation of Mgl-1. USP11 showed deubiquitinating activity and stabilized Mgl-1 protein. However, USP11-mediated Mgl-1 stabilization was inhibited in RanBPM-knockdown cells. Furthermore, in the cancer cell migration, the regulation of Mgl-1 by USP11 required RanBPM expression. In addition, an in vivo study revealed that depletion of USP11 leads to tumor formation. Taken together, the results indicated that USP11 functions as a tumor suppressor through the regulation of Mgl-1 protein degradation via RanBPM.

Ubiquitin-specific protease 4 inhibits breast cancer cell growth through the upregulation of PDCD4

Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor affecting women. The study of the association between breast cancer and molecular aberrations may lead to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for the disease. In the present study, we examined the role of ubiquitin-specific protease 4 (USP4) in breast cancer. We found that USP4 expression was significantly decreased in breast ...

p53 signaling is involved in leptin-induced growth of hepatic and breast cancer cells

Leptin, an adipokine predominantly produced from adipose tissue, is well known to induce tumor growth. However, underlying molecular mechanisms are not established yet. While p53 has long been well recognized as a potent tumor suppressor gene, accumulating evidence has also indicated its potential role in growth and survival of cancer cells depending on experimental environments. In the present...

Effect of 5- azacytidine (5-aza-CR on the expression of DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, p14ARF, p16INK4a, and p15INK4b, cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induction lung cancer A549 cell line

Background and aim: Lung cancer is one of the most leading causes of cancer death in males and females and the second leading cause of cancer death. Epigenetic alterations, including DNA hypermethylation, histone deacetylation, and miRNAs lead to the silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) resulting in tumorigenesis. This change has been reported in various cancers. The activity of DNA meth...

DUB-1, a deubiquitinating enzyme with growth-suppressing activity.

Cytokines regulate cell growth by inducing the expression of specific target genes. Using the differential display method, we have cloned a cytokine-inducible immediate early gene, DUB-1 (for deubiquitinating enzyme). DUB-1 is related to members of the UBP superfamily of deubiquitinating enzymes, which includes the oncoprotein Tre-2. A glutathione S-transferase-DUB-1 fusion protein cleaved ubiq...

Runx3, a member of Runt-related transcription factor (Runx) proteins with tumor suppressor effect, is a tissue–restricted and cancer related transcription factor that regulate cell proliferation and growth, as well as differentiation. In the present study, exogenous Run3 was transiently expressed in AGS (human gastric adenocarcinoma), with undetectable Runx3 protein and in A549 (human lung carc...
