UHRF1 poly-auto-ubiquitination induced by the anti-cancer drug, thymoquinone, is involved in the DNA repair machinery recruitment
Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2024 Apr 20:106582. doi: 10.1016/j.biocel.2024.106582. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic mark involved in many physiologic cellular processes and pathologies. During mitosis, the transmission of DNA methylation patterns from a mother to the daughter cells is ensured through the action of the Ubiquitin-like, containing PHD and RING domains, 1/DNA methyltransferase 1 (UHRF1/DNMT1) tandem. UHRF1 is involved in the silencing of many tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) via mechanisms that remain largely to be deciphered. The present study investigated the ro...

PYCR3 Modulates mtDNA Copy Number to Drive Proliferation and Doxorubicin Resistance in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2024 Apr 18:106581. doi: 10.1016/j.biocel.2024.106581. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses significant challenges in treatment due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic targets. Understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms driving TNBC progression and chemotherapy resistance is imperative for developing effective therapeutic strategies. Thus, in this study, we aimed to elucidate the role of pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 3 (PYCR3) in TNBC pathogenesis and therapeutic response. We observed that PYCR3 is significantly upregulated in TNBC specime...

The inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway promotes MDA-MB-231 cell survival and renewal in response to the aryl-ureido fatty acid CTU
Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2024 Apr 11;171:106571. doi: 10.1016/j.biocel.2024.106571. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCurrent treatment options for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are limited to toxic drug combinations of low efficacy. We recently identified an aryl-substituted fatty acid analogue, termed CTU, that effectively killed TNBC cells in vitro and in mouse xenograft models in vivo without producing toxicity. However, there was a residual cell population that survived treatment. The present study evaluated the mechanisms that underlie survival and renewal in CTU-treated MDA-MB-231 TNBC cells. RNA-seq profiling id...

INHBA regulates Hippo signaling to confer 5-FU chemoresistance mediated by cellular senescence in colon cancer cells
This study intended to investigate mechanisms of INHBA (inhibin A) in 5-FU resistance mediated by cellular senescence in colon cancer. Bioinformatics analysis of INHBA expression in colon cancer tissues, survival analysis, and correlation analysis of cellular senescence markers were performed. The effects of INHBA on the biological characteristics and 5-FU resistance of colon cancer cells were examined through loss/gain-of-function and molecular assays. Finally, a xenograft mouse model was built to validate the mechanism of INHBA in vivo. INHBA was upregulated in colon cancer and was significantly positively correlated wit...
