Abstract
Background: CDK4 is highly expressed and associated with poor prognosis and decreased survival in advanced neuroblastoma (NB). Targeting CDK4 degradation presents a potentially promising therapeutic strategy compared to conventional CDK4 inhibitors. However, the autophagic degradation of the CDK4 protein and its anti-proliferation effect in NB cells has not been mentioned.
Results: We identified autophagy as a new pathway for the degradation of CDK4. Firstly, autophagic degradation of CDK4 is critical for NVP-BEZ235-induced G0/G1 arrest, as demonstrated by the overexpression of CDK4, autophagy inhibition, and blockade of autophagy-related genes. Secondly, we present the first evidence that p62 binds to CDK4 and then enters the autophagy-lysosome to degrade CDK4 in a CTSB-dependent manner in NVP-BEZ235 treated NB cells. Similar results regarding the interaction between p62 and CDK4 were observed in the NVP-BEZ235 treated NB xenograft mouse model.
Conclusions: Autophagic degradation of CDK4 plays a pivotal role in G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in NB cells treated with NVP-BEZ235.
期刊介绍：
Cancer, the second leading cause of death, is a heterogenous group of over 100 diseases. Cancer is characterized by disordered and deregulated cellular and stromal proliferation accompanied by reduced cell death with the ability to survive under stresses of nutrient and growth factor deprivation, hypoxia, and loss of cell-to-cell contacts. At the molecular level, cancer is a genetic disease that develops due to the accumulation of mutations over time in somatic cells. The phenotype includes genomic instability and chromosomal aneuploidy that allows for acceleration of genetic change. Malignant transformation and tumor progression of any cell requires immortalization, loss of checkpoint control, deregulation of growth, and survival. A tremendous amount has been learned about the numerous cellular and molecular genetic changes and the host-tumor interactions that accompany tumor development and progression. It is the goal of the field of Molecular Oncology to use this knowledge to understand cancer pathogenesis and drug action, as well as to develop more effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cancer. This includes preventative strategies as well as approaches to treat metastases. With the availability of the human genome sequence and genomic and proteomic approaches, a wealth of tools and resources are generating even more information. The challenge will be to make biological sense out of the information, to develop appropriate models and hypotheses and to translate information for the clinicians and the benefit of their patients. Cancer Biology & Therapy aims to publish original research on the molecular basis of cancer, including articles with translational relevance to diagnosis or therapy. We will include timely reviews covering the broad scope of the journal. The journal will also publish op-ed pieces and meeting reports of interest. The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results using traditional as well as electronic formats. The journal and the outstanding Editorial Board will strive to maintain the highest standards for excellence in all activities to generate a valuable resource.
