Although the molecular mechanisms of TNF signaling have been largely elucidated, principle that regulates balance life and death is still unknown. We report here domain kinase RIP, a key component complex, was cleaved by Caspase-8 in TNF-induced apoptosis. The cleavage site mapped to aspartic acid at position 324 RIP. demonstrated RIP resulted blockage NF-kappaB activation. RIPc, one products, enhanced interaction between TRADD FADD/MORT1 increased cells' sensitivity TNF. Most importantly,...
Ezh2 (Enhancer of zeste homolog 2) protein is the enzymatic component Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which represses gene expression by methylating lysine 27 histone H3 (H3K27) and regulates cell proliferation differentiation during embryonic development. Recently, hot-spot mutations were identified in diffused large B-cell lymphomas follicular lymphomas. To investigate if tumor growth dependent on activity Ezh2, we developed a potent selective small molecule inhibitor, EI1, inhibits...
Tumors put in a vulnerable position Cancer cells often display alterations metabolism that help fuel their growth. Such metabolic “rewiring” may also work against the cancer cells, however, by creating new vulnerabilities can be exploited therapeutically. A variety of human tumors show changes methionine caused loss gene coding for 5-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). Mavrakis et al. and Kryukov found MTAP renders cell lines sensitive to growth inhibition compounds suppress activity...
Abstract PRMT3 catalyzes the asymmetric dimethylation of arginine residues various proteins. It is essential for maturation ribosomes, may have a role in lipogenesis, and implicated several diseases. A potent, selective, cell‐active inhibitor would be valuable tool further investigating biology. Here we report discovery first chemical probe, SGC707, by structure‐based optimization allosteric inhibitors reported previously, thorough characterization this probe biochemical, biophysical,...
Tumor metastasis occurs naturally in pancreatic cancer, and the efficacy of chemotherapy is usually poor. Precision medicine, combining downregulation target genes with drugs, expected to improve therapeutic effects. Therefore, we developed a combined therapy micro RNA ‐21 antisense oligonucleotides ( ASO ‐miR‐21) gemcitabine (Gem) using targeted co‐delivery nanoparticle NP ) carrier investigated synergistic inhibitory effects on cancer cells growth. Polyethylene...
Emerging studies have revealed the potent functions of circRNAs in breast cancer tumorigenesis. However, biogenesis, biofunction and mechanism triple-negative (TNBC) are largely unknown.High-throughput RNA sequencing was applied to identify dysregulated TNBCs paired normal tissues. pulldown luciferase assays were performed investigate interaction between circular CD44 (circCD44, also annotated as hsa_circ_0021735) miR-502-5p. RIP used circCD44 IGF2BP2. Cell viability, colony formation,...
Summary In eukaryotes, the retromer complex plays a crucial role in sorting and retrograde transport of cargo proteins from endosomes to trans ‐Golgi network (TGN). Despite its importance, molecular details this intracellular process remain unclear. Here, we have identified Golgi‐associated protein (GARP) as mediator vesicle that facilitates recruitment TGN exert functions. The GARP is mainly localized where it interacts with complex. This interaction evolutionarily conserved across species....
PAX6 is a master regulatory gene involved in neuronal cell fate specification. It also plays critical role early eye field and subsequent limbal stem (LSC) determination during development. Defects Pax6 cause aniridia LSC deficiency humans the Sey (Small eye) phenotype mice (Massé, K., Bhamra, S., Eason, R., Dale, N., Jones, E. A. (2007) Nature 449, 1058-1062). However, how specifies corneal fates development not well understood. Here, we show that expressed primitive cup later tissue...
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a histone H3 lysine 27 methyltransferase, plays key role in gene regulation and is known epigenetics drug target for cancer therapy. The WD40 domain-containing protein EED the regulatory subunit of PRC2. It binds to tri-methylated (H3K27me3), through which stimulates activity PRC2 allosterically. Recently, we disclosed novel inhibitor EED226 K27me3-pocket on showed strong antitumor xenograft mice model. Here, further report identification validation four...
Brain metastasis (BM) is common in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and associated a poor prognosis. Ceramide synthase 1 (CERS1) participates malignancy development, but its potential role NSCLC BM remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the physiological effects molecular mechanism of CERS1 BM. expression was evaluated tissues lines, roles were subsequently explored vivo vitro. Mass spectrometry co-immunoprecipitation performed CERS1-interacting proteins. The signaling...
Abstract Background Ceramide metabolism is crucial in the progress of brain metastasis (BM). However, it remains unexplored whether targeting ceramide may arrest BM. Methods RNA sequencing was applied to screen different genes primary and metastatic foci whole-exome (WES) seek abnormal pathway BM + BM-patients. Cellular arrays were analyze permeability blood–brain barrier (BBB) activation or inhibition pathway. Database Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay adopted verify protein–protein...
To examine the influence of HOXD10 on metabolism and growth colon carcinoma cells by suppressing RHOC/AKT/MAPK pathway. Thirty-seven paired cancer its adjacent samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed. Chip Analysis Methylation Pipeline (ChAMP) analysis was employed for differential methylated points (DMPs) methylation regions (DMRs) screening. mRNA expression DNA levels detected RT-PCR. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion apoptosis respectively measured MTT assay,...
