Abstract
Unconventional protein secretion (UPS) is a crucial mechanism controlling the localization of cytosolic proteins lacking signal peptides and is implicated in inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Several previous studies on immune cells have demonstrated the mechanisms of UPS. In cancer, the active secretion of several cytosolic proteins, including PKCδ and nucleolin, has been described. Moreover, we have recently demonstrated that extended synaptotagmin 1, one of the membrane proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum, plays a critical role in UPS in liver cancer cells. Importantly, UPS in cancer cells shows characteristics that are markedly different from those of the previously known UPS, and therefore, we categorize them as cancer-related UPS (CUPS). In this article, we provide an overview of UPS mechanisms and discuss the process that leads to the naming of cancer-specific UPS as CUPS.
