Abstract Context Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy. Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), 1 type of autophagy, is thought to promote or suppress cancer development in different cancer types. However, the effect of CMA on PTC development and the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Objective To determine whether CMA plays implied critical roles in the development of PTC. Design We investigated the association between CMA and PTC development in PTC tissues and normal thyroid tissues by detecting the key protein of CMA, lysosome-associated membrane protein type 2A (LAMP2A), using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemistry, which were further validated in the TGCA dataset. The effect of CMA on PTC development was studied by cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis assays. The underlying mechanisms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ)-stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF1)/ C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) signaling were clarified by western blotting, quantitative PCR, and rescue experiments. Knockdown and tamoxifen were used to analyze the effect of estrogen receptor (ER) α on CMA. Results Our study confirmed that CMA, indicated by LAMP2A expression, was significantly increased in PTC tumor tissues and cell lines, and was associated with tumor size and lymph node metastasis of patients. Higher CMA in PTC promoted tumor cell proliferation and migration, thereby promoting tumor growth and metastasis. These effects of CMA on PTC were exerted by decreasing PPARγ protein expression to enhance SDF1 and CXCR4 expression. Furthermore, CMA was found positively regulated by ERα signaling in PTC. Conclusion Our investigation identified CMA regulated by ERα promoting PTC tumor progression that enhanced tumor cell proliferation and migration by targeting PPARγ-SDF1/CXCR4 signaling, representing a potential target for treatment of PTC.

Abstract Background tRNA-derived small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) are mainly categorized into tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and fragments (tRFs). Biological functions of tiRNAs in human solid tumor are attracting more and more attention, but researches concerning the mechanisms in tiRNAs-mediated tumorigenesis are rarely. The direct regulatory relationship between tiRNAs and splicing-related proteins remain elusive. Methods Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) associated tRNA fragments were screened by tRNA fragments deep sequencing and validated by qRT-PCR and Northern Blot in PTC tissues. The biological function of tRNA fragments were assessed by cell counting kit, transwells and subcutaneous transplantation tumor of nude mice. For mechanistic study, tRNA fragments pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemical staining were performed. Results Herein, we have identified a 33 nt tiRNA-Gly significantly increases in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) based on tRFs & tiRNAs sequencing. The ectopic expression of tiRNA-Gly promotes cell proliferation and migration, whereas down-regulation of tiRNA-Gly exhibits reverse effects. Mechanistic investigations reveal tiRNA-Gly directly bind the UHM domain of a splicing-related RNA-binding protein RBM17. The interaction with tiRNA-Gly could translocate RBM17 from cytoplasm into nucleus. In addition, tiRNA-Gly increases RBM17 protein expression via inhibiting its degradation in a ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent way. Moreover, RBM17 level in tiRNA-Gly high-expressing human PTC tissues is upregulated. In vivo mouse model shows that suppression of tiRNA-Gly decreases RBM17 expression. Importantly, tiRNA-Gly can induce exon 16 splicing of MAP4K4 mRNA leading to phosphorylation of downstream signaling pathway, which is RBM17 dependent. Conclusions Our study firstly illustrates tiRNA-Gly can directly bind to RBM17 and display oncogenic effect via RBM17-mediated alternative splicing. This fully novel model broadens our understanding of molecular mechanism in which tRNA fragment in tumor cells directly bind RNA binding protein and play a role in alternative splicing.
