Lipid peroxidation-dependent ferroptosis has become an emerging strategy for tumor therapy. However, current strategies not only selectively induce in malignant cells but also trigger immune simultaneously, which can compromise anti-tumor immunity. Here, we used In-Cell Western assays combined with unbiased drug screening to identify the compound N6F11 as a inducer that triggered degradation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), key repressor, specifically cancer cells. did cause GPX4 cells,...

Selective macroautophagy/autophagy maintains cellular homeostasis through the lysosomal degradation of specific proteins or organelles. The pro-survival effect selective autophagy has been well-characterized, but mechanism by which it drives cell death is still poorly understood. Here, we use a quantitative proteomic approach to identify HPCAL1 (hippocalcin like 1) as novel receptor for CDH2 (cadherin 2) during ferroptosis. HPCAL1-dependent depletion increases susceptibility ferroptotic...

Abstract Ferroptosis is a type of lipid peroxidation-dependent cell death that emerging as therapeutic target for cancer. However, the mechanisms ferroptosis during generation and detoxification peroxidation products remain rather poorly defined. Here, we report an unexpected role eukaryotic translation initiation factor EIF4E determinant ferroptotic sensitivity by controlling peroxidation. A drug screening identified 4EGI-1 4E1RCat (previously known EIF4E-EIF4G1 interaction inhibitors)...

The purpose of this study was to investigate invasion- and metastasis-related genes in gastric cancer. To end, we used the transwell system select a highly invasive subcell line from minimally parent cells compared gene expression paired cell lines with high- low-invasive potentials. Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) overexpressed line. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that LOXL2 markedly increased carcinoma relative normal epithelia, overexpression primary tumor significantly associated...

Abstract KLF4 is an important regulator of cell-fate decision, including DNA damage response and apoptosis. We identify a novel interplay between protein modifications in regulating function. Here we show that arginine methylation by PRMT5 inhibits ubiquitylation VHL thereby reduces turnover, resulting the elevation levels concomitant with increased transcription KLF4-dependent p21 reduced expression KLF4-repressed Bax. Structure-based modelling simulations provide insight into molecular...

Despite widespread utilization of immunotherapy, treating immune-cold tumors has proved to be a challenge. Here, we report that expression the immune checkpoint molecule B7-H4 is prevalent among triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), where its inversely correlates with PD-L1. Glycosylation interferes interaction/ubiquitination by AMFR, resulting in stabilization. inhibits doxorubicin-induced cell death through suppression eIF2α phosphorylation required for calreticulin exposure vis-à-vis...

Differentiation of the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell line HL-60 can be induced by all trans-retinoic acid (ATRA); however, mechanism regulating this process has not been fully characterized. Using bioinformatics and in vitro experiments, we identified microRNA gene expression profile cells during ATRA granulocytic differentiation. Six microRNAs were upregulated treatment, miR-663, miR-494, miR-145, miR-22, miR-363* miR-223; three downregulated, miR-10a, miR-181 miR-612. Additionally,...

The emerging regulatory role of deubiquitinases (DUBs) has been implicated in various fundamental processes and pathogenesis. To determine the pivotal that DUBs play mediating tumorigenesis, we have performed a non-biased screen 67 human based on mammary cell transformation assay. This led to identification USP11 as critical determinant tumor initiation progression. Using an approach protein complex purification coupled with mass spectrometry, further identified XIAP be target for USP11. We...

Abstract Radioresistance has been one of the impediments to effective nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) therapy in clinical settings. Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) is expressed NPC and potent effects on radioresistance. It detected extracellular vesicles (EVs) or exosomes shown promote tumor proliferation invasive potential. However, whether LMP1‐positive EVs can confer radioresistance cancer cells mechanism used need be elucidated. In this study, data showed...

Abstract Background Studies have shown that oxidative stress and its resistance plays important roles in the process of tumor metastasis, mitochondrial dysfunction caused by DNA (mtDNA) damage is an molecular event stress. In lung cancer, normal fibroblasts (NFs) are activated as cancer-associated (CAFs), act realms microenvironment (TME) with consequences for growth metastasis. However, activation mechanism whether it participates metastasis through antioxidative remain unclear. Methods The...
