Article Abstract

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) incidence has been rising in recent years, with strong association between differential microRNA (miRNA) expression and neoplastic progression. Specifically, overexpression of miR-155-5p has been associated with promoting aggressive cancer in ccRCC and other cancers. In this study, we further investigate the role of this miRNA and one of its protein targets, Jade-1, to better understand the mechanism behind aggressive forms of ccRCC. Jade-1, a tumor suppressor, is stabilized by Von-Hippel Lindau (VHL), which is frequently mutated in ccRCC. Experiments featuring downregulation of miR-155-5p in two ccRCC cell lines (786-O and Caki-1) attenuated their oncogenic potential and led to increased levels of Jade-1. Conversely, knockdown experiments with an anti-Jade-1 shRNA in 786-O and Caki-1 cells showed increased metastatic potential through elevated proliferation, migration, and invasion rates. In a mouse xenograft model, downregulation of miR-155 decreased the rate of tumor implantation and proliferation. Direct interaction between miR-155-5p and Jade-1 was confirmed through a 3'UTR luciferase reporter assay. These findings further elucidate the mechanism of action of miR-155-5p in driving an aggressive phenotype in ccRCC through its role in regulating Jade-1.

Silencing of microRNA-135b inhibits invasion, migration, and stemness of CD24CD44 pancreatic cancer stem cells through JADE-1-dependent AKT/mTOR pathway.

Background: Recent studies have emphasized determining the ability of microRNAs (miRNAs) as crucial regulators in the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer (PC), which continues to be one of the deadliest malignancies with few effective therapies. The study aimed to investigate the functional role of miR-135b and its associated mechanism to unravel the biological characteristics of tumor growth in pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs).

Methods: Microarray analyses were initially performed to identify the PC-related miRNAs and genes.

Protein mimotopes, or blocking peptides, are small therapeutic peptides that prevent protein-protein interactions by selectively mimicking a native binding domain. Inexpensive technology facilitates straightforward design and production of blocking peptides in sufficient quantities to allow preventive and therapeutic trials in both in vitro and in vivo experimental disease models. The kidney is an ideal peptide target, since small molecules undergo rapid filtration and efficient bulk absorption by tubular epithelial cells.

Tight regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling is critical for vertebrate development and tissue maintenance, and deregulation can lead to a host of disease phenotypes, including developmental disorders and cancer. Proteins associated with primary cilia and centrosomes have been demonstrated to negatively regulate canonical Wnt signaling in interphase cells. The plant homeodomain zinc finger protein Jade-1 can act as an E3 ubiquitin ligase-targeting β-catenin for proteasomal degradation and concentrates at the centrosome and ciliary basal body in addition to the nucleus in interphase cells.

The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor pVHL is lost in the majority of clear-cell renal cell carcinomas (RCC). Activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is also common in RCC, with PTEN loss occurring in approximately 30% of the cases, but other mechanisms responsible for activating AKT at a wider level in this setting are undefined. Plant homeodomain protein Jade-1 (PHF17) is a candidate renal tumor suppressor stabilized by pVHL.
