The regulation of cell cycle entry is critical for cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. One of the key players regulating cell cycle progression is the F-box protein Skp2. Skp2 forms a SCF complex with Skp1, Cul-1, and Rbx1 to constitute E3 ligase through its F-box domain. Skp2 protein levels are regulated during the cell cycle, and recent studies reveal that Skp2 stability, subcellular localization, and activity are regulated by its phosphorylation. Overexpression of Skp2 is associated with a variety of human cancers, indicating that Skp2 may contribute to the development of human cancers. The notion is supported by various genetic mouse models that demonstrate an oncogenic activity of Skp2 and its requirement in cancer progression, suggesting that Skp2 may be a novel and attractive therapeutic target for cancers.

Abstract Lung cancer (LC) is the most frequent type of cancer in the world. But the mechanism of LC is still largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed three lung cancer gene expression microarrays of different pathologic types to explore the potential candidate genes in LC by Integrated bioinformatical methods. 459 overlapped differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were explored in three GEO gene expression profiles of different pathologic types of lung cancer and function annotation of DEGs were performed. The main biological process of DEGs was regulation of vasculature development and angiogenesis. The most significant molecular function of DEGs was TGF-β receptor activity. The most significant Reactome pathway of DEGs was cell cycle and extracellular matrix organization pathway. The PPI network of the DEGs was constructed and 23 candidate hub genes were identified in the network . Kaplan-Meier survival analysis show 21 genes were associated with the prognosis of LC. The genetic alterations analysis of these genes by using cBioPortal shown ASPM has the highest genetic alteration rate of 9% in main pathological types of 3191 LC patients , CENPF has the second highest alteration rate of 6% in LC patients. ASPM and CENPF also identified have a significant co-occurrence relationship in LC, and the GO analysis shown they both participate in the regulation of cell cycle. In the TF -miRNA-gene network of 21 genes shown CENPF have the most significant value in the network and the most relevant TF are NFYA, E2F1 and MYC.In conclusion, this study explored several key genes about LC and analyzed potential TF of those genes, provides possible therapeutic targets and biomarker for further clinical application.

The cell cycle is the cascade of events that allows a growing cell to duplicate all its components and split into two daughter cells. Cell cycle progression is mediated by the activation of a highly conserved family of protein kinases, the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). CDKs are also regulated by related proteins called cdk inhibitors grouped into two families: the INK4 inhibitors (p16, p15, p19, and p18) and the Cip/Kip inhibitors (p21, p27, and p53). Several studies report the importance of cell-cycle proteins in the pathogenesis and the prognosis of lung cancer. This paper will review the most recent data from the literature about the regulation of cell cycle. Finally, based essentially on the data generated in our laboratory, the expression, the diagnostic, and prognostic significance of cell-cycle molecules in lung cancer will be examined.

Abstract Background Chemoresistance limits the therapeutic effect of cisplatin (DDP) on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) function as important regulators in chemoresistance. This study aimed to explore the regulation of circRNA Phosphatidylinositol-4-Phosphate 5-Kinase Type 1 Alpha (circ_PIP5K1A) in DDP resistance. Methods The expression analysis of circ_PIP5K1A, micoRNA-493-5p (miR-493-5p) and Rho Associated Coiled-Coil Containing Protein Kinase 1 (ROCK1) was conducted through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Cell sensitivity was determined using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-y1)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell proliferation and cell viability were evaluated by colony formation assay and MTT assay, respectively. Cell cycle and apoptosis detection was performed via flow cytometry. Cell motility was examined by transwell migration or invasion assay. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was applied to confirm the target binding. ROCK1 protein level was assayed via Western blot. In vivo assay was carried out using xenograft model in mice. Results Circ_PIP5K1A level was abnormally increased in DDP-resistant NSCLC tissues and cells. Silencing circ_PIP5K1A reduced DDP resistance, proliferation, cell cycle progression and cell motility in DDP-resistant NSCLC cells. Circ_PIP5K1A directly interacted with miR-493-5p in NSCLC cells. The function of circ_PIP5K1A was dependent on the negative regulation of miR-493-5p. MiR-493-5p directly targeted ROCK1 and circ_PIP5K1A regulated the ROCK1 level via acting as a sponge of miR-493-5p. Overexpression of miR-493-5p inhibited chemoresistance and cancer progression by downregulating ROCK1 expression in DDP-resistant NSCLC cells. Circ_PIP5K1A regulated DDP sensitivity in vivo via the miR-493-5p/ROCK1 axis. Conclusion These findings suggested that circ_PIP5K1A upregulated the ROCK1 expression to promote DDP resistance and cancer progression in NSCLC by sponging miR-493-5p.

Abstract Background: The ubiquitin-editing enzyme TNF inducible protein 3 (TNFAIP3) is a crucial regulator of inflammation and immunity. It is also involved in tumorigenesis of various cancers such as lymphomas, colorectal tumors and breast cancer. In this study, we aimed to explore the role and regulatory mechanism of TNFAIP3 in lung cancer. Methods: The expression of TNFAIP3 was determined in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The levels of TNFAIP3 in lung cancer tissues was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. TNFAIP3 knockdown and overexpression were performed, followed by further evaluation of cell viability, cell cycle and apoptosis. Cell cycle and apoptosis were observed by using flow cytometry and the key regulatory proteins were detected by western blotting. Colony formation assessment and EdU assay were adopted to check cell proliferation. Results: TNFAIP3 expression was downregulated in lung cancer tissues at both mRNA and protein levels, comparing with that in adjacent non-tumor tissues. Consequently, the colony formation ability of lung cancer cells was enhanced, and the number of EdU positive lung cancer cells was increased. By contrast, elevated TNFAIP3 expression resulted in decreased colony formation ability of lung cancer cells. Mechanistically, TNFAIP3 overexpression rendered cell cycle of lung cancer cells halted at G0/G1 phase and caused apoptosis of lung cancer cells.Conclusion: Our data suggested that TNFAIP3 exhibits tumor suppressive roles in lung cancer.

Abstract Background: N6-methyladenosine modification has been involved in various biological processes. However, its role in non-small cell lung cancer has not been well studied. Here, we show that IGF2BP3, as an transcription factor, plays a critical oncogenic role in non-small-cell lung cancer carcinogenesis through activating FTO expression and inducing aberrant m6A modification. Methods: To evaluate the role of IGF2BP3 in non-small-cell lung cancer, we performed cell proliferation and cell cycle assays in three lung cancer cell lines. Lung cancer mouse model is used to examine the effects of IGF2BP3/FTO/N-myc on lung proliferation potentials in vivo. We analyzed the correlation between IGF2BP3 and FTO, IGF2BP3 and N-myc protein in colon cancer patients by Pearson correlation. To finally explore the relationship of IGF2BP3/FTO/N-myc, we used western blots, proliferation and cell cycle assays to confirm that IGF2BP3 may regulate lung cancer progression through FTO dependent m6A modification by stabilizing N-myc.Results: We first identified that IGF2BP3 overexpressed in non-small-cell lung cancer tissue and cells. Then, we showed that FTO was the dysregulated factor responsible for the abnormal N6-methyladenosine modification in non-small-cell lung cancer. The loss-of-function assay demonstrated that IGF2BP3 enhances FTO-mediated cell proliferation and promotes cell apoptosis, through regulating expression of target gene N-myc by reducing m6A level in mRNA transcript. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates the functional importance of IGF2BP3 and N6-methyladenosine methylation modification in the tumor progression of non-small-cell lung cancer, and provides profound insights into lung carcinogenesis and drug response.

Lung cancer stem cells are a subpopulation of cells critical for lung cancer progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. Thioridazine, a classical neurological drug, has been reported with anticancer ability. However, whether thioridazine could inhibit lung cancer stem cells has never been studied. In our current work, we used different dosage of thioridazine to test its effect on lung cancer stem cells sphere formation. The response of lung cancer stem cells to chemotherapy drug with thioridazine treatment was measured. The cell cycle distribution of lung cancer stem cells after thioridazine treatment was detected. The in vivo inhibitory effect of thioridazine was also measured. We found that thioridazine could dramatically inhibit sphere formation of lung cancer stem cells. It sensitized the LCSCs to chemotherapeutic drugs 5-FU and cisplatin. Thioridazine altered the cell cycle distribution of LCSCs and decreased the proportion of G0 phase cells in lung cancer stem cells. Thioridazine inhibited lung cancer stem cells initiated tumors growth in vivo. This study showed that thioridazine could inhibit lung cancer stem cells in vitro and in vivo. It provides a potential drug for lung cancer therapy through targeting lung cancer stem cells.
