Abstract Background To investigate the role and its potential mechanism of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 4 (PFKFB4) in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to analyze the interaction between PFKFB4 and SRC-2. Western blot was used to investigate the phosphorylation of steroid receptor coactivator-2 (SRC-2) on the condition that PFKFB4 was knockdown. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to find the downstream target of SRC-2. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, transwell assay and transwell-matrigel assay were used to examine the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities in A549 and NCI-H1975 cells with different treatment. Results In our study we found that PFKFB4 was overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma associated with SRC family protein and had an interaction with SRC-2. PFKFB4 could phosphorylate SRC-2 at Ser487, which altered SRC-2 transcriptional activity. Functionally, PFKFB4 promoted lung adenocarcinoma cells proliferation, migration and invasion by phosphorylating SRC-2. Furthermore, we identified that CARM1 was transcriptionally regulated by SRC-2 and involved in PFKFB4-SRC-2 axis on lung adenocarcinoma progression. Conclusions Our research reveal that PFKFB4 promotes lung adenocarcinoma cells proliferation, migration and invasion via enhancing phosphorylated SRC-2-mediated CARM1 expression.

Abstract Background Although using a blockade of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) to enhance T cell immune responses shows great promise in tumor immunotherapy, the immune-checkpoint inhibition strategy is limited for patients with solid tumors. The mechanism and efficacy of such immune-checkpoint inhibition strategies in solid tumors remains unclear. Results Employing qRT-PCR, Sanger sequencing, and RNA BaseScope analysis, we show that human lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) all produce a long non-coding RNA isoform of PD-L1 (PD-L1-lnc) by alternative splicing, regardless if the tumor is positive or negative for the protein PD-L1. Similar to PD-L1 mRNA, PD-L1-lnc in various lung adenocarcinoma cells is significantly upregulated by IFNγ. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that PD-L1-lnc increases proliferation and invasion but decreases apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Mechanistically, PD-L1-lnc promotes lung adenocarcinoma progression through directly binding to c-Myc and enhancing c-Myc transcriptional activity. Conclusions In summary, the PD-L1 gene can generate a long non-coding RNA through alternative splicing to promote lung adenocarcinoma progression by enhancing c-Myc activity. Our results argue in favor of investigating PD-L1-lnc depletion in combination with PD-L1 blockade in lung cancer therapy.
