FBXL5 inhibits metastasis of gastric cancer through suppressing Snail1.

چکیده
BACKGROUND/AIMS The Snail family of transcription factors controls epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process associated with tumorigenesis originated from epithelial cells. Snail1 is a member from Snail family and upregulation of Snail1 has been detected in gastric cancer (GC), suggesting a potential role of Snail1 in GC metastasis. We have recently reported that FBXL5 regulates cortactin by inducing its ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation, resulting in inhibition of metastasis of GC. However, a role of FBXL4 in regulation of other EMT-associated proteins is not unknown. METHODS The levels of FBXL5 and Snail1 as well as their relationship were determined in GC specimen. Co-immunoprecipitation (IP) was performed to detect the interaction between Snail1 and FBXL5 in GC cells. The effects on Snail1 by FBXL5 were examined by overexpression of depletion of FBXL5 in GC cells. The invasiveness of the FBXL5-modified GC cells was examined in both scratch wound healing assay and transwell matrix penetration assay. RESULTS FBXL5 also physiologically interacted with Snail1. FBXL5 inhibited Snail1 to suppress GC cell invasiveness. CONCLUSION FBXL5 negatively regulates several EMT-enhancing factors. FBXL5 is an attractive novel target for inhibiting invasion and metastasis of GC cells.

Nuclear ubiquitination by FBXL5 modulates Snail1 DNA binding and stability
The zinc finger transcription factor Snail1 regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition, repressing epithelial markers and activating mesenchymal genes. Snail1 is an extremely labile protein degraded by the cytoplasmic ubiquitin-ligases β-TrCP1/FBXW1 and Ppa/FBXL14. Using a short hairpin RNA screening, we have identified FBXL5 as a novel Snail1 ubiquitin ligase. FBXL5 is located in the nucle...
متن کاملDub3 inhibition suppresses breast cancer invasion and metastasis by promoting Snail1 degradation
Snail1, a key transcription factor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), is subjected to ubiquitination and degradation, but the mechanism by which Snail1 is stabilized in tumours remains unclear. We identify Dub3 as a bona fide Snail1 deubiquitinase, which interacts with and stabilizes Snail1. Dub3 is overexpressed in breast cancer; knockdown of Dub3 resulted in Snail1 destabilization, s...
متن کاملTristetraprolin suppresses the EMT through the down-regulation of Twist1 and Snail1 in cancer cells
Inhibition of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-inducing transcription factors Twist and Snail prevents tumor metastasis but enhances metastatic growth. Here, we report an unexpected role of a tumor suppressor tristetraprolin (TTP) in inhibiting Twist and Snail without enhancing cellular proliferation. TTP bound to the AU-rich element (ARE) within the mRNA 3'UTRs of Twist1 and Snail1, enh...

Wnt signaling through Snail1 and Zeb1 regulates bone metastasis in lung cancer.
Wnt-β-catenin signaling participates in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a variety of cancers; however, its role in lung cancer induced bone metastasis and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that β-catenin, Snail1 and Zeb1 were significantly upregulated in bone metastasis tissues from human and mouse compared with the normal controls. E-cadherin express...
