Background:The oncoprotein binding (OPB) domain of Yin Yang 1 (YY1) consists of 26 amino acids between G201 and S226, and is involved in YY1 interaction with multiple oncogene products, including MDM2, AKT, EZH2 and E1A. Through the OPB domain, YY1 promotes the oncogenic or proliferative regulation of these oncoproteins in cancer cells. We previously demonstrated that a peptide with the OPB sequence blocked YY1-AKT interaction and inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation.Objective:In the current study, we characterized the OPB domain and determined a minimal region for peptide design to suppress cancer cellMethods:Using alanine-scan method, we identified that the amino acids at OPB C-terminal are essential to YY1 binding to AKT. Further studies suggested that serine and threonine residues, but not lysines, in OPB play a key role in YY1-AKT interaction. We generated GFP fusion expression vectors to express OPB peptides with serially deleted N-terminal and found that OPB1 (i.e. G201-S226) is cytoplasmic, but OPB2 (i.e. E206-S226), OPB3 (i.e. E206-S226) and control peptide were both nuclear and cytoplasmic.Results:Both OPB1 and 2 inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation and migration, but OPB3 exhibited similar effects to control. OPB1 and 2 caused cell cycle arrest at G1 phase, increased p53 and p21 expression, and reduced AKT(S473) phosphorylation in MCF-7 cells, but not in MDA-MB-231 cells.Conclusion:: Overall, the serines and threonines of OPB are essential to YY1 binding to oncoproteins, and OPB peptide can be minimized to E206-S226 that maintain inhibitory activity to YY1- promoted cell proliferation.

As one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women, breast cancer accounts for a 30% increase of incidence worldwide since 1970s. Recently, increasing studies have revealed that the long non-coding RNA ILF3-AS1 is involved in the progression of various cancers. Nevertheless, the role of ILF3-AS1 in breast cancer remains largely unknown. In the present study, we found that ILF3-AS1 was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cells. ILF3-AS1 silencing inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis. ILF3-AS1 bound with miR-4429 in breast cancer cells. Moreover, RAB14 was a downstream target of miR-4429, and miR-4429 expression was negatively correlated with RAB14 or ILF3-AS1 expression in breast cancer tissues. The result of rescue experiments demonstrated that overexpression of RAB14 can reverse the inhibitory effect of ILF3-AS1 knockdown on breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Overall, ILF3-AS1 promotes the malignant phenotypes of breast cancer cells by interacting with miR-4429 to regulate RAB14, which might offer a new insight into the underlying mechanism of breast cancer.
