Identification of zinc finger MIZ-type containing 2 as an oncoprotein enhancing NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-1 deacetylase activity to regulate Wnt and Hippo pathways in non-small-cell lung cancer
Zinc finger MIZ-type containing 2 (ZMIZ2) can function as a coactivator and participate in the progression of certain malignant tumors; however, its expression and underlying molecular mechanism in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unknown. In this study, we aim to analyze the expression of ZMIZ2 and its tumorigenic function in NSCLC, identifying its related factors. ZMIZ2 expression in NSCLC tissue samples and cell lines was examined using immunohistochemistry and western blotting; its biological role was investigated using in vivo and in vitro assays. The association between ZMIZ2 and NAD-dependent protein deacetylase sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) was demonstrated using mass spectrometry and immunoprecipitation experiments. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Pathway (KEGG)-based enrichment analysis, luciferase reporter assay, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT–qPCR) were conducted to verify the impact of ZMIZ2–SIRT1 combination on Hippo/Wnt pathways. ZMIZ2 was highly expressed in NSCLC and positively associated with advanced pTNM staging, lymph node metastasis, and poor overall survival. Functional experiments revealed that ZMIZ2 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of lung cancer cells—establishing its role as a promoter of oncogenes. Molecular mechanism studies identified SIRT1 as an assisted key factor interacting with ZMIZ2. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that ZMIZ2 is closely related to Wnt/Hippo pathways; ZMIZ2–SIRT1 interaction enhanced SIRT1 deacetylase activity. Direct downregulation of intranuclear β-catenin and yes-associated protein (YAP) acetylation levels occurred independently of upstream proteins in Wnt/Hippo pathways; transcriptional activities of β-catenin-transcription factor 4 (TCF4) and YAP–TEA domain family transcription factors (TEADs) were amplified. ZMIZ2 promotes the malignant phenotype of lung cancer by regulating Wnt/Hippo pathways through SIRT1, providing an experimental basis for discovering novel biomarkers and developing tumor-targeted drugs.
