Article Abstract

The nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) subunit p65, plays an important role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Phosphorylation of p65 is considered as an important mechanism for the positive regulation of NF-κB activity. According to our previous data, p65 can be SUMOylated by small ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (SUMO1) protein, and SUMO1 promotes p65 nuclear import and HCC progression. However, the effect of SUMO1-related p65 SUMOylation on NF-κB transcriptional activity and the relationship between phosphorylation and SUMOylation of p65 remain obscure. Here, we found that phosphorylated p65 level was increased in cancer tissues of HCC patients, and similar phenomenon was found for SUMO1 expression but not for SUMO2/3. Further clinical data showed a positive correlation between SUMO1 and phosphorylated p65. We also verified that overexpression of SUMO1 upregulated phosphorylated p65 levels. Next, we verified SUMO1-related p65 SUMOylation with in vitro SUMOylation assay, constructed mutants of p65 SUMOylation and phosphorylation, and found that SUMO1-related p65 SUMOylation promoted p65 nuclear import and increased NF-κB activity. Both SUMO1-related p65 SUMOylation and p65 phosphorylation (especially at S276 site) increased the viability and invasion of hepatoma cells, and decreased the apoptosis of hepatoma cells. At last, we found that the phosphorylation of p65 promoted the level of SUMO1-related p65 SUMOylation, and SUMO1-related p65 SUMOylation upregulated phosphorylated p65 (at S276 site). Our study contributes to the exploration of the oncogenic mechanism of p65, which is the important protein in HCC.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) have shown a moderate response in colorectal cancer (CRC) with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) functions and poor response in patients with proficient MMR (pMMR). pMMR tumors are generally immunogenically "cold", emphasizing combination strategies to turn the "cold" tumor "hot" to enhance the efficacy of ICIs. ATR inhibitors (ATRi) have been proven to cooperate with radiation to promote antitumor immunity, but it is unclear whether ATRi could facilitate the efficacy of IR and ICI combinations in CRCs.

Background: Excessive inflammation and increased apoptosis of macrophages contribute to organ damage and poor prognosis of sepsis. Ginkgolic acid (GA) is a natural constituent extracted from the leaves of , that can regulate inflammation and apoptosis. The present study aims to investigate the potential effect of GA in treating sepsis and its possible mechanisms.

Intermittent hypoxia (IH)-induced cognition decline is related to the neuroinflammation in microglia. SUMOylation is associated with multiple human diseases, which can be reversed by sentrin/SUMO-specific proteases 1 (SENP1). Herein, we investigated the role of SENP1 in IH-induced inflammation and cognition decline.

The amyloid precursor protein (APP) intracellular domain (AICD) is implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but post-translational modification of AICD has rarely been studied and its role in AD is unknown. In this study, we examined the role and molecular mechanism of AICD SUMOylation in the pathogenesis of AD. We found that AICD is SUMO-modified by the SUMO E3 ligase protein inhibitor of activated STAT1 (PIAS1) in the hippocampus at Lys-43 predominantly, and that knockdown of PIAS1 decreases endogenous AICD SUMOylation.
