Potential Therapeutic Applications of MDA-9/Syntenin-NF-κB-RKIP Loop in Human Liver Carcinoma

2019

Background Overexpression of MDA-9/Syntenin occurs in multiple human cancer cell lines and is associated with higher grade of tumor classification, invasiveness and metastasis. In some cases, its role in cancer biology depends on relationships between MDA-9/Syntenin and NF-κB. Objective This study aims to analyze the presence of a regulation loop like that between MDA-9/Syntenin - NF-κB - RKIP in human liver carcinoma. Methods Transient transfection was performed with siRNA anti-MDA-9/Syntenin. Expression of different factors was evaluated by Real time-PCR and Western blotting, while NF-κB activation by TransAM assay. Invasion capacity was analyzed by Matrigel Invasion Assay and the effects…

AbstractHuman papillomaviruses enter host cells via a clathrin-independent endocytic pathway involving tetraspanin proteins. However, post-endocytic trafficking required for virus capsid disassembly remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that the early trafficking pathway of internalised HPV particles involves tetraspanin CD63, syntenin-1 and ESCRT-associated adaptor protein ALIX. Following internalisation, viral particles are found in CD63-positive endosomes recruiting syntenin-1, a CD63-interacting adaptor protein. Electron microscopy and immunofluorescence experiments indicate that the CD63-syntenin-1 complex controls delivery of internalised viral particles to multivesicular endosomes. Ac…

Interaction of syntenin-1 and the NG2 proteoglycan in migratory oligodendrocyte precursor cells.

2008

Migration of oligodendrocyte precursors along axons is a necessary prerequisite for myelination, but little is known about underlying mechanisms. NG2 is a large membrane proteoglycan implicated in oligodendrocyte migration. Here we show that a PDZ domain protein termed syntenin-1 interacts with NG2 and that syntenin-1 is necessary for normal rates of migration. The association of syntenin-1 with NG2, identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen, was confirmed by colocalization of both proteins within processes of oligodendroglial precursor cells and by coimmunoprecipitation from cell extracts. Syntenin-1 also colocalizes with NG2 in "co-capping" assays, demonstrating a lateral association of bot…

MDA-9/Syntenin-NF-κB-RKIP loop in triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) and human liver carcinoma

We analyzed the presence of a regulation loop like that between MDA-9/Syntenin - NF-κB - RKIP in three TNBC cell lines (SUM 149, SUM 159 and MDA-MB-231) and in three cell lines of human liver carcinoma (HA22T/VGH, Hep3B and HepG2). Both these cancers are characterized by high aggressive phenotype, poor prognosis and few therapeutic possibilities. Transient transfection was performed with siRNA anti-MDA-9/Syntenin. Expression of different factors was evaluated by Real time-PCR and Western blotting, while NF-κB activation by TransAM assay. Invasion capacity was analyzed by Matrigel Invasion Assay. We observed that silencing of MDA-9/Syntenin expression by anti-MDA-9/Syntenin siRNA induced NF-…
