Background Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is a redox-active food antioxidant, but its relationship to neuroblastoma (NB) remains uncertain. We integrated network toxicology, disease transcriptomics, structural modeling, and clinical cohort analyses to prioritize testable TBHQ–NB hypotheses. Methods We intersected 119 TBHQ-related targets with 2,105 NB-associated genes. The 55 shared targets were filtered against 3,386 differentially expressed genes from MYCN-overexpressing NCSC-derived tumors versus control NCSCs in GSE137975. Candidates were evaluated by PPI topology, molecular docking, a 100-ns simulation of the selected ERBB2 chain-A pose, and SEQC survival, clinical-feature, correlation, module, and Hallmark GSEA analyses. Results GSE137975 contained 1,759 upregulated and 1,627 downregulated genes. Intersecting these genes with the 55 shared targets yielded 11 candidates. Docking scores were − 7.3 kcal/mol for ERBB2, − 6.7 for AR, − 5.1 for FOXO1, and − 4.5 for NQO1; ERBB2 had the most favorable score among the modeled systems under their respective settings. The chain-A simulation supported persistence of the selected ERBB2–TBHQ pose under the simulation conditions. In SEQC, ERBB2 showed unadjusted survival and clinical associations, whereas adjusted ERBB2 hazard ratios were not statistically significant; global proportional-hazards diagnostics for the adjusted models indicated non-proportionality, limiting time-constant interpretation. ERBB2-low tumors were enriched for MYC/E2F/G2M and oxidative-phosphorylation programs. Conclusions The integrated evidence prioritizes ERBB2 and related candidates for experimental follow-up, supports a hypothesis linking TBHQ-relevant molecular networks to NB states, and provides a computational framework for future testing. Direct target engagement, pathway effects, and disease phenotypes warrant experimental validation.
Objective: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a tumor derived from aberrant proliferation of glial cells in the brain. The GTEx database revealed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) linear amplification using nonlinear components (LINC)01094 was highly expressed in GBM samples. Herein, this study aims to investigate the mechanism of LINC01094 in GBM in depth.Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to evaluate the expression levels of LINC01094, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), microRNA-545-3p (miR-545-3p), and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2N (UBE2N) in GBM cells. The role of LINC01094 in GBM was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The regulatory mechanism of LINC01094 was determined using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), RNA pull down, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP), and luciferase reporter experiments.Results: LINC01094 is significantly up-regulated in GBM cell lines. Functionally, knockdown of LINC01094 hampers cell proliferation and tumor growth, while promoting cell apoptosis and enhancing cell radiosensitivity. Mechanistically, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) enhances the transcription activity of LINC01094. LINC01094 regulates ubiquitinconjugating enzyme E2N (UBE2N) expression via sponging miR-545-3p, thus regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis and radiosensitivity in GBM.Conclusion: STAT3/LINC01094/miR-545-3p/UBE2N axis plays a novel role in modulating tumorigenesis and radiosensitivity in GBM, which may provide a potential target for GBM treatment.
The antisense transcript of SATB2 protein (SATB2-AS1) is a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) which is involved in the development of colorectal cancer, breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. In the present study, it was aimed to investigate the consequent situation of SATB2-AS1 in tissue and cell lines of glioma. The expression of SATB2-AS1 in glioma cases was analyzed in The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets. The glycolytic metabolism was determined in glioma cells by detection of extracellular glucose level, oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate. Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to assess cell proliferation and apoptosis in glioma cells. The interaction between SATB2-AS1 and microRNA (miR)-671-5p was verified by bioinformatic analysis, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, dual luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. The expression levels of the downstream targets of SATB2-AS1 were studied by western blotting. Results demonstrated that SATB2-AS1 was a downregulated lncRNA in low grade glioma and glioblastoma. Gain-of-function assay demonstrated that SATB2-AS1 inhibited cell proliferation, and glycolytic metabolism, while induced cell apoptosis in glioma cells. SATB2-AS1 sponged and suppressed the expression of an oncogenic miRNA miR-671-5p. By regulation of miR-671-5p, SATB2-AS1 upregulated cerebellar degeneration related protein 1 (CDR1) and Visinin-like 1 (VSNL1) expression in glioma cells. miR-671-5p overexpression partially reversed the antitumor effect of SATB2-AS1 in glioma. In conclusion, the current study demonstrated that there was a downregulation of SATB2-AS1 in glioma, and SATB2-AS1 regulated miR-671-5p/CDR1 axis and miR-671-5p/VSNL1 axis in glioma.

Glioma is a common intracranial tumor originated from neuroglia cell. Chrysophanol is an anthraquinone derivative proved to exert anticancer effects in various cancers. This paper investigated the effect and mechanism of chrysophanol in glioma. Glioma cell lines U251 and SHG-44 were adopted in the experiments. The cells were treated with chrysophanol at different concentrations (0, 10, 20 50, 100 and 200 μM) for 48 h in the study, and then processed with MitoTempo. Mitochondria and cytosol were isolated to investigate the role of mitochondria during chrysophanol functioning on glioma cells. Cell viability was detected through 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-Thiazolyl)-2,5-Diphenyl Tetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay, and cell apoptosis, cell cycle as well as relative reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed by flow cytometry. Expressions of Cytosol Cyt C, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, Cyclin D1 and Cyclin E were evaluated by western blot. In U251 and SHG-44 cells, with chrysophanol concentration rising, cell viability, expressions of Cyclin D1 and Cyclin E were decreased while cell apoptosis, levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and Cytosol Cyt C as well as ROS accumulation were increased with cell cycle arrested in G1 phase. Besides, chrysophanol promoted ROS accumulation, cell apoptosis and transfer of Cyt C from mitochondria to cytosol in cells while MitoTempo partly reversed the effect of chrysophanol. Chrysophanol promoted cell apoptosis via activating mitochondrial apoptosis pathway in glioma.

GOLPH3, an oncoprotein, plays crucial roles in tumor etiology. Compelling evidences have demonstrated that GOLPH3 contributes to regulate tumor cell growth, migration and invasion under normal nutrient condition. However, the oncogenic activity of GOLPH3 under serum starvation remains largely unknown. In this study, we reported that GOLPH3 depletion led to marked reduction in adhesion of glioma U251 cells, particularly under serum deprivation. We found that silencing of GOLPH3 expression reduced the protein amount of ITGB1 only in serum-free medium. Further insights into the mechanism between GOLPH3 and ITGB1, we applied proteasome or lysosome inhibitor to block the degradation of ITGB1, and identified GOLPH3 silencing can prompt ITGB1 lysosomal degradation under serum starvation. Finally, we found the reductions in glioma cell adhesion and ITGB1 protein amount could be rescued by ITGB1 overexpression. Taken together, these results show that GOLPH3 contributes to the adhesion of glioma cells by regulating the lysosomal degradation of ITGB1 under serum starvation.

Νeuronal precursor cell expressed and developmentally downregulated protein (Nedd4-1) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase with critical roles in the pathogenesis of cancer. Herein, we demonstrated that Nedd4-1 protein was upregulated in glioma tissues vs. that in non-cancerous tissues by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Scratch migration and Transwell chamber assays indicated that downregulation of Nedd4-1 significantly reduced the migration and invasion of the glioma cell lines U251 and U87. Conversely, overexpression of Nedd4-1 obviously enhanced the migratory and invasive capacities in both cell lines. To investigate the role of Nedd4-1 and the intracellular pathways involved, we performed pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays, and recognized that Nedd4-1, TNIK and Rap2a formed a complex. Moreover, Nedd4-1 selectively ubiquitinated its specific substrates, the wild-type Rap2a (WT-Rap2a) and dominant-active Rap2a (DA-Rap2a) rather than the dominant-negative Rap2a (DN-Rap2a) in the U251 cells. Subsequently, we demonstrated that Rap2a was robustly ubiquitinated by Nedd4-1 along with the K63-linked, but not the K48-linked ubiquitin chain, which significantly inhibited GTP-Rap2a activity by GST-RalGDS pull-down assay. To further verify whether the ubiquitination of Rap2a by Nedd4-1 regulated the migration and invasion of glioma cells, Nedd4-1, HA-tagged ubiquitin and its mutants as well as WT-Rap2a were co-transfected in the U251 and U87 cell lines. The results confirmed that Nedd4-1 inhibited GTP-Rap2a activity, and promoted the migration and invasion of glioma cells. In brief, our findings demonstrated the important role of Nedd4-1 in regulating the migration and invasion of glioma cells via the Nedd4-1/Rap2a pathway, which may qualify Nedd4-1 as a viable therapeutic target for glioma.
Calcyclin-binding protein or Siah-1-interacting protein (CacyBP/SIP) was previously reported to promote the proliferation of glioma cells. However, the effect of CacyBP/SIP on apoptosis of glioma is poorly understood. Here, our study shows that CacyBP/SIP plays a role in inhibiting doxorubicin (DOX) induced apoptosis of glioma cells U251 and U87. Overexpression of CacyBP/SIP obviously suppressed the DOX-induced cell apoptosis. On the contrary, silencing of CacyBP/SIP significantly promoted it. Further investigation indicated that inhibition of apoptosis by CacyBP/SIP was relevant to its nuclear translocation in response to the DOX treatment. Importantly, we found that the level of p-ERK1/2 in nuclei was related to the nuclear accumulation of CacyBP/SIP. Finally, the role of CacyBP/SIP was confirmed in vivo in a mouse model with the cell line stably silencing CacyBP/SIP. Taken together, our results suggest that CacyBP/SIP plays an important role in inhibiting apoptosis of glioma cells which might be mediated by ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which will provide some guidance for the treatment of glioma.
The identification of genes involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression is of great interest, since these genes might be possible as candidates for new tumor targeted therapy strategies. Our previous study shows that Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is involved in glioma cell migration and invasion, the critical characteristics of malignant gliomas. In this study, we explored the mechanism of GOLPH3 affecting cell migration and invasion and found that GOLPH3 promotes glioblastoma (GBM) cell migration and invasion via the mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)‐Y‐box binding protein‐1 (YB1) pathway in vitro. Both the protein levels of GOLPH3 and YB1 were up‐regulated in human glioma tissues and they exhibited direct correlation with each other. In addition, down‐regulation of GOLPH3 inhibited glioma cell migration and invasion, while over‐expression of GOLPH3 enhanced them. Meanwhile, GOLPH3 down‐regulation led to a significant decrease of YB1 level as well as mTOR activity, both required for glioma cell migration and invasion. On the contrary, YB1 level and mTOR activity increased after GOLPH3 over‐expression. YB1 down‐regulation or mTOR ATP site inhibitor INK128 treatment inhibited cell migration and invasion, similar to the effect of GOLPH3 down‐regulation. Furthermore, over‐expression of GOLPH3 induced glioma cell migration and invasion was blocked by INK128 and YB1 down‐regulation. Taken together, these results show that GOLPH3 promotes glioblastoma cell migration and invasion via the mTOR‐YB1pathway, indicating that GOLPH3‐mTOR‐YB1 pathway might be a new therapeutic target for glioma treatment. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The Fyn related kinase (FRK) is a noteworthy member of the Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase family for its distinctive tumor suppressive function. Recently, we have shown that FRK plays a protective role against the progression of glioma by suppressing cell migration and invasion. However, it is unclear whether the cell growth of glioma is also regulated by FRK and by which mechanism FRK alters its specific biological functions. In the current study, we found that FRK over-expression significantly suppressed the proliferation of glioma cells. In contrast, FRK knockdown by siRNA promoted glioma cell growth. In addition, FRK over-expression caused G 1 phase arrest as well as apoptosis of glioma cells. Further investigation disclosed that FRK-induced G1 arrest was accompanied by down-regulation of hyperphosphorylated retinoblastoma protein (pRb), which led to the consequent suppression of E2F1. More importantly, we found that over-expression of FRK inhibited proper cyclin D1 accumulation in the nucleus of proliferating cells. Taken together, our results demonstrate a combined mechanism for the anti-proliferative effects of FRK by inhibiting cyclin D1 nucleus accumulation and pRb phosphorylation in glioma cells.
Glioblastoma is the most common and fatal human brain malignancy in adults with highly proliferative capacity. Despite advances in surgery and adjuvant therapy, the median survival of patients has changed little over recent decades. Identifying molecules critical for glioma development is significant for devising effective targeted therapy. We previously reported that Bex2, a member of the brain expressed X-linked gene family, promoted the progression of glioma by promoting cell proliferation. In the present study, we investigated the main mechanism of Bex2 promoting the proliferation of glioblastoma cells. We found that Bex2 downregulation inhibited glioma cell proliferation and the expression of NF-κB p65, but Bex2 overexpression promoted them. Similarly, the proliferation of glioma cells was inhibited by p65 downregulation but increased by p65 overexpression. In addition, Bex2 overexpression-induced cell proliferation was abolished by p65 downregulation. Furthermore, Bex2 with nuclear localization signal deleted no longer promoted p65 expression. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that Bex2 promotes proliferation of human glioblastoma cells via NF-κB signaling pathway and Bex2 nuclear location is critical for p65 expression.
