Article Abstract
Annexin A2 (ANXA2) has been found to be involved in cancer proliferation, metastasis and prognosis; however, its exact role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radioresistance remains unknown. We found that ANXA2 expression was correlated with prognosis in NPC patients, and longer overall survival in NPC patients with low ANXA2 expression than those with high ANXA2 expression. ANXA2 knockdown increased the radiosensitivity in radioresistant NPC cells, and ANXA2 overexpression decreased the radiosensitivity in NPC cells. Knocking-down ANXA2 expression increased the irradiation-induced apoptosis of radioresistant NPC cells, and ANXA2 overexpression decreased the irradiation-induced apoptosis of NPC cells. ANXA2 knockdown induced G2/M phase arrest in NPC cells post-irradiation, and ANXA2 overexpression abrogated G2/M phase arrest in NPC cells post-irradiation. ANXA2 overexpression resulted in inhibition of the p38 MAPK-HSP27 pathway, while ANXA2 knockdown resulted in activation of the p38 MAPK-HSP27 pathway. In addition, ANXA2 knockdown increased the radiosensitivity of the xenografted tumors in nude mice. Our data demonstrate that knockdown of Annexin A2 enhanced radiosensitivity in NPC by increasing G2/M-phase arrest, apoptosis and activating the p38 MAPK-HSP27 pathway. ANXA2 may be a promising target used to overcome radioresistance in NPC.

The defining property of eukaryotic cells is the storage of heritable genetic material in a nuclear compartment. For eukaryotic cells to carry out the myriad biochemical processes necessary for their function, macromolecules must be efficiently exchanged between the nucleus and cytoplasm. The nuclear pore complex (NPC) - which is a massive assembly of ~35 different proteins present in multiple copies totalling ~1,000 protein subunits and architecturally conserved across eukaryotes - establishes a size-selective channel for regulated bidirectional transport of folded macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies across the nuclear envelope.

E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate the cellular proteome proteasome-dependent protein degradation; however, there exist limited studies outlining their non-canonical functions. RNA-binding ubiquitin ligases (RBULs) represent a subset of E3 ligases that harbour RNA-binding domains, making them uniquely positioned to function as both RNA-binding proteins and E3 ligases. Our initial microarray screen for E3 ligases from mouse cortical neural progenitor cells identified MEX3B, a known RNA-binding ubiquitin ligase, to be differentially expressed.

The Hippo pathway and its transcription co-activator YAP play a critical role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and the control of organ size. In the past several years, YAP has been found to be expressed in various human cancers, however, its expression in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) remains unstudied. In this report, we found that YAP was overexpressed in human NPC tissues, and its expression was also significantly higher in five NPC cell lines when compared with the nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 (P < 0.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common and debilitating injury, causing long-lasting neurological deficits. Current therapeies for recovery remain inadequate, undersing the urgent need for innovative interventions. In this study, a novel therapeutic approach is introduced that delivers extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells (hiPSC-NPCs) with a gelatin-based injectable bioorthogonal hydrogel (BIOGEL).
