The Six1 oncoprotein downregulates p53 via concomitant regulation of RPL26 and microRNA-27a-3p

چکیده
TP53 is mutated in 50% of all cancers, and its function is often compromised in cancers where it is not mutated. Here we demonstrate that the pro-tumorigenic/metastatic Six1 homeoprotein decreases p53 levels through a mechanism that does not involve the negative regulator of p53, MDM2. Instead, Six1 regulates p53 via a dual mechanism involving upregulation of microRNA-27a and downregulation of ribosomal protein L26 (RPL26). Mutation analysis confirms that RPL26 inhibits miR-27a binding and prevents microRNA-mediated downregulation of p53. The clinical relevance of this interaction is underscored by the finding that Six1 expression strongly correlates with decreased RPL26 across numerous tumour types. Importantly, we find that Six1 expression leads to marked resistance to therapies targeting the p53-MDM2 interaction. Thus, we identify a competitive mechanism of p53 regulation, which may have consequences for drugs aimed at reinstating p53 function in tumours.

MicroRNA-27a-3p Inhibits Melanogenesis in Mouse Skin Melanocytes by Targeting Wnt3a
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in the regulation of almost all the biological processes, including melanogenesis. MiR-27a-3p is nearly six times higher in white alpaca skin compared to brown skin, which indicates that miR-27a-3p may be a candidate regulator for melanogenesis. Wnt3a plays an important role in promoting melanoblasts to differentiate into melanocytes and melanogenesis. ...

This study aimed to elucidate how microRNA27a-3p (miR-27a-3p) modulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to promote the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in oral squamous carcinoma stem cells (OSCSCs) by targeting secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1). Flow cytometry was used to sort OSCSCs from the SCC-9 and Tca8113 cell lines. The OSCSCs were randomly assigned into the miR-27a-...
متن کاملMiR-27a-3p functions as an oncogene in gastric cancer by targeting BTG2
microRNA-27a (miR-27a) is frequently dysregulated in human carcinoma, including gastric cancer. The B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) has been implicated in gastric carcinogenesis. However, till now, the link between miR-27a and BTG2 in gastric cancer has not been reported. Here, we found that two isoforms of mature miR-27a, miR-27a-5p and miR-27-3p, were both frequently overexpressed in gastr...
متن کاملp73 to the rescue: Role of RPL26
For the past decade, a group of ribosomal proteins (RPs) have emerged as key mediators of the p53 signaling in response to ribosomal stress, which is induced by perturbation of ribosome biogenesis [1, 2]. These RPs include large subunit proteins RPL5, RPL11, RPL23, RPL26, RPL4, RPL6 and small subunit proteins RPS7, RPS27, RPS27a, RPS14, RPS25, etc [1-3]. When overexpressed or upon ribosomal str...
