SelK promotes glioblastoma cell proliferation by inhibiting β-TrCP1 mediated ubiquitin-dependent degradation of CDK4.
Background: Glioblastoma (GB) is recognized as one of the most aggressive brain tumors, with a median survival of 14.6 months. However, there are still some patients whose survival time was greater than 3 years, and the biological reasons behind this clinical phenomenon arouse our research interests. By conducting proteomic analysis on tumor tissues obtained from GB patients who survived over 3 years compared to those who survived less than 1 year, we identified a significant upregulation of SelK in patients with shorter survival times. Therefore, we hypothesized that SelK may be an important indicator related to the occurrence and progression of GBM.
Methods: Proteomics and immunohistochemistry from GB patients were analyzed to investigate the correlation between SelK and clinical prognosis. Cellular phenotypes were evaluated by cell cycle analysis, cell viability assays, and xenograft models. Immunoblots and co-immunoprecipitation were conducted to verify SelK-mediated ubiquitin-dependent degradation of CDK4.
Results: SelK was found to be significantly upregulated in GB samples from short-term survivors (≤ 1 year) compared to those from long-term survivors (≥ 3 years), and its expression levels were negatively correlated with clinical prognosis. Knocking down of SelK expression reduced GB cell viability, induced G0/G1 phase arrest, and impaired the growth of transplanted glioma cells in nude mice. Down-regulation of SelK-induced ER stress leads to a reduction in the expression of SKP2 and an up-regulation of β-TrCP1 expression. Up-regulation of β-TrCP1, thereby accelerating the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of CDK4 and ultimately inhibiting the malignant proliferation of the GB cells.
Conclusion: This study discovered a significant increase in SelK expression in GB patients with poor prognosis, revealing a negative correlation between SelK expression and patient outcomes. Further mechanistic investigations revealed that SelK enhances the proliferation of GB cells by targeting the endoplasmic reticulum stress/SKP2/β-TrCP1/CDK4 axis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research is an esteemed peer-reviewed publication that focuses on cancer research, encompassing everything from fundamental discoveries to practical applications.
We welcome submissions that showcase groundbreaking advancements in the field of cancer research, especially those that bridge the gap between laboratory findings and clinical implementation. Our goal is to foster a deeper understanding of cancer, improve prevention and detection strategies, facilitate accurate diagnosis, and enhance treatment options.
We are particularly interested in manuscripts that shed light on the mechanisms behind the development and progression of cancer, including metastasis. Additionally, we encourage submissions that explore molecular alterations or biomarkers that can help predict the efficacy of different treatments or identify drug resistance. Translational research related to targeted therapies, personalized medicine, tumor immunotherapy, and innovative approaches applicable to clinical investigations are also of great interest to us.
We provide a platform for the dissemination of large-scale molecular characterizations of human tumors and encourage researchers to share their insights, discoveries, and methodologies with the wider scientific community.
By publishing high-quality research articles, reviews, and commentaries, the Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research strives to contribute to the continuous improvement of cancer care and make a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
