Telomerase activity has been regarded as a critical step in cellular immortalization and carcinogenesis and because of this, regulation of telomerase represents an attractive target for anti-tumor specific therapeutics. Recently, one avenue of cancer research focuses on antisense strategy to target the oncogenes or cancer driver genes, in a sequence specific fashion to down-regulate the expression of the target gene. The protein catalytic subunit, human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and the template RNA component (hTERC) are essential for telomerase function, thus theoretically, inhibition of telomerase activity can be achieved by interfering with either the gene expression of hTERT or the hTERC of the telomerase enzymatic complex. The present study showed that phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide (sASO)-nuclear localization signal (NLS) peptide conjugates targeting hTERC could inhibit telomerase activity very efficiently at 5 μM concentration but less efficiently at 1 μM concentration. On the other hand, siRNA targeting hTERT mRNA could strongly suppress hTERT expression at 200 nM concentration. It was also revealed that siRNA targeting hTERT could induce telomere attrition and then irreversible arrest of proliferation of cancer cells. - Synthesis and Properties of Polycarbosilanes Having Lactose‐Derived Structures.Matsumoto K, Miyano T, Kotake Y.Journal of Polymer Science, Part A: Polymer Chemistry. 57(24):2420-2425, 2019. 2019/12 [Refereed]

Resveratrol, a phytoalexin present in grapes and other edible foods, has been reported to have beneficial effects against various diseases including cancer. We previously reported that resveratrol and its derivative, caffeic acid-adducted resveratrol, selectively inhibit the three-dimensional (3D) proliferation of a human colorectal cancer cell line, HCT116 with activating KRAS mutation. Herein, we demonstrated that a novel compound, ferulic acid-bound resveratrol, also represses the 3D proliferation of HCT116 cells. We observed that resveratrol conjugated to two ferulic acids represses the 3D proliferation of HCT116 cells more strongly than resveratrol and resveratrol conjugated to one ferulic acid. Resveratrol conjugated to two ferulic acids also inhibited the 3D proliferation of MCF7 human breast cancer cells. We further uncovered that the resveratrol derivative increases the mRNA level of the tumor suppressor p15, a CDK inhibitor that functions as a brake of cell proliferation in HCT116 cells. These results imply that the resveratrol derivative represses 3D proliferation via increasing p15 expression in HCT116 cells. - Natsumi Matsunaga; Takahiro Wakasaki; Ryuji Yasumatsu; Yojiro KotakeAnticancer research 39(8) (8) 4073 - 4077 2019/08 [Refereed]
BACKGROUND/AIM: ANRIL is a long noncoding RNA located on INK4 locus, which encodes p15 and p16 that cause G1 phase arrest in the cell cycle. ANRIL positively regulates proliferation of several kinds of cancer cells such as lung and gastric cancers. This study, examined the effect of ANRIL in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cells were transfected with siRNA oligonucleotides targeting ANRIL. Transfected cells were subjected to cell-cycle and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. RESULTS: Depletion of ANRIL increased p15 mRNA in FaDu cells, and p15 and p16 mRNA in CAL27 cells and inhibited proliferation of these cells. Cell cycle analysis showed that depletion of ANRIL caused arrest at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. CONCLUSION: ANRIL promotes G1 phase progression by repressing p15 and p16, and thus promotes FaDu and CAL27 cell proliferation. - siRNAによる変異癌遺伝子KRAS(G12D)の選択的発現制御塩浜康雄; 藤田崇史; 神武洋二郎; 岡田斉; 藤井政幸近畿大学産業理工学部研究報告かやのもり (30) 1 - 7 2019 [Refereed]
- Shiohama YasuoReports of School of Humanity-Oriented Science and Engineering, Kinki University 近畿大学産業理工学部 (29) 1 - 5 1349-5801 2018/11〈Abstract〉KRAS mutation is positive in 45% of colon cancer patients, 35% of lung cancer patients, 95% of pancreas cancer patients, and 15% of melanoma patients and the patients do not benefit from anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) chemotherapy and antibody therapy to have poor prognosis for survival. KRAS mutations in codons 12 and 13 were present approximately in 40% of colorectal cancers. It is highly challenging to target mutant KRAS gene by synthetic small nucleic acids and can be a breakthrough for undruggable cancers.In the present study, we investigated silencing efficiencies of mutant KRAS(G12D) gene by gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) using HeLa with wild type KRAS and PK-45H with G12D mutation in both alleles. ASOs targeting mutant KRAS (G12D) with 11nt and 9nt phosphorothioate gap silenced KRAS(G12D) expression in 81% and 73% efficiency in PK-45H, respectively but affected very little on the wild type KRAS expression in HeLa.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound in many edible foods including grapes, peanuts, and berries. Several studies have revealed the beneficial effects of resveratrol against various diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, neurological disorders, and cancer. A recent study showed that resveratrol inhibits the proliferation of HCT116 human colorectal cancer cells in three-dimensional culture (3DC) via induction of luminal apoptosis in HCT116 cell spheroids. In this study, we showed that a novel compound, caffeic acid-adducted resveratrol, has a stronger inhibitory effect on the growth of HCT116 cell spheroids in 3DC than resveratrol. It showed almost the same inhibitory efficacy as 5-fluorouracil, a conventional anticancer drug. We further showed that the resveratrol derivative did not affect the growth of HKe3 cell spheroids derived from HCT116 cells by disruption of the activating mutant KRAS gene. These results suggest that the resveratrol derivative inhibits the growth of HCT116 cell spheroids via inhibition of an oncogenic KRAS-mediated signaling pathway. - Madoka Naemura; Masahide Kuroki; Toshiyuki Tsunoda; Nagisa Arikawa; Yuuga Sawata; Senji Shirasawa; Yojiro KotakeAnticancer Research International Institute of Anticancer Research 38 (1) 77 - 81 1791-7530 2018/01 [Refereed]
Background/Aim: OPA-interacting protein 5 antisense transcript 1 (OIP5-AS1) is a long noncoding RNA located on human chromosome 15q15.1 and transcribed in the opposite direction to OIP5. Here, we report that OIP5-AS1 is involved in regulating cell proliferation. Materials and Methods: HeLa cells were transfected with OIP5-AS1-targeting siRNA oligonucleotides and anti-sense oligonucleotides. The cells were harvested 72 h after transfection and subjected to quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and cell-cycle and apoptosis analysis. Results: OIP5-AS1 was expressed at a lower level in cells harbouring an oncogenic kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (K-RAS) mutation than in cells expressing wild-type K-RAS. Silencing OIP5-AS1 with siRNA oligonucleotides or anti-sense oligonucleotides reduced HeLa cell proliferation. Apoptosis and cell-cycle analysis showed that silencing OIP5-AS1 did not cause apoptosis, but did cause G2/M phase cell-cycle arrest. Conclusion: These results suggest that OIP5-AS1 positively regulates cell proliferation by promoting G2/M phase progression. - Masanori Harada; Satoshi Sakai; Tatsuya Ohhata; Kyoko Kitagawa; Masashi Mikamo; Koji Nishimoto; Chiharu Uchida; Hiroyuki Niida; Yojiro Kotake; Haruhiko Sugimura; Takafumi Suda; Masatoshi KitagawaMOLECULAR CANCER RESEARCH AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH 15 (10) 1388 - 1397 1541-7786 2017/10 [Refereed]
The known oncogene cyclin D1 (CCND1) participates in progression of the cell cycle from G1 to S-phase. Expression of cyclin D1 is frequently promoted in multiple human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a relationship between cyclinD1expression and the prognosis ofNSCLChas not been confirmed. NKX2-1 is a homeobox transcription factor involved in pulmonary development as a differentiation-promoting factor. In NSCLC, it acts as a metastasis suppressor and correlates with a good prognosis. Here, NKX2-1-binding motifs were identified in the cyclin D1 promoter, but it has not been clarified whether NKX2-1 is involved in cyclin D1 expression in NSCLC. To shed light on this issue, endogenous NKX2-1 was depleted in NSCLC cell lines, which resulted in decreased cyclin D1 mRNA and protein. In contrast, forced overexpression of NKX2-1 increased cyclin D1 levels. Moreover, NKX2-1 directly bound to the cyclin D1 promoter and enhanced its activity. Finally, using human NSCLC clinical specimens, it was determined that both NKX2-1 protein and mRNA were significantly correlated with cyclin D1 expression status in adenocarcinomas. These results indicate that NKX2-1 directly and positively regulates transcription of cyclin D1. Finally, expression of NKX2-1, but not cyclin D1, was significantly associated with metastatic incidence as an independent good prognostic factor of adenocarcinoma.

Herein we described the synthesis of siRNA-NES (nuclear export signal) peptide conjugates by solid phase fragment coupling and the application of them to silencing of bcr/abl chimeric gene in human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line K562. Two types of siRNA-NES conjugates were prepared, and both sense strands at 5' ends were covalently linked to a NES peptide derived from TFIIIA and HIV-1 REV, respectively. Significant enhancement of silencing efficiency was observed for both of them. siRNA-TFIIIA NES conjugate suppressed the expression of BCR/ABL gene to 8.3% at 200nM and 11.6% at 50 nM, and siRNA-HIV-1REV NES conjugate suppressed to 4.0% at 200nM and 6.3% at 50 nM, whereas native siRNA suppressed to 36.3% at 200nM and 30.2% at 50 nM. We could also show complex of siRNA-NES conjugate and designed amphiphilic peptide peptide beta 7 could be taken up into cells with no cytotoxicity and showed excellent silencing efficiency. We believe that the complex siRNA-NES conjugate and peptideb7 is a promising candidate for in vivo use and therapeutic applications. - Yojiro Kotake; Nagisa Arikawa; Keiichiro Tahara; Hiroaki Maru; Madoka NaemuraANTICANCER RESEARCH INT INST ANTICANCER RESEARCH 37 (4) 1603 - 1608 0250-7005 2017/04 [Refereed]
Background/Aim: The transcription factor Y-box-binding protein 1 (YB1) is overexpressed in many types of human cancers. YB1 regulates the G(1) phase of the cell cycle by controlling transcription of G(1) regulators. Here, we report that YB1 is also involved in regulating G(2)/M phase. Materials and Methods: YB1-depleted TKO cells were subjected to quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and cell-cycle analysis. RNA immuno-precipitation (RIP)-chip assay was performed using anti-YB1 antibodies. Precipitated RNAs were subjected to microarray analysis. Results: Silencing YB1 inhibited the proliferation of TKO cells, which lost the machinery required for G(1) phase arrest. Cell-cycle analysis showed that silencing YB1 caused G(2)/M phase cellcycle arrest. RIP-chip assay showed that YB1 associated with mRNA of multiple cell-cycle-related genes, including G(2)/M phase regulators. Conclusion: YB1 positively regulates not only the G(1) phase but also G(2)/M phase by regulating multiple cell-cycle-related genes. - 新貝恭広; 苗村円佳; 神武洋二郎; 藤井政幸近畿大学産業理工学部研究報告かやのもり 近畿大学産業理工学部 (26) 1 - 10 1349-5801 2017 [Refereed]
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) induces RNA interference by forming RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). From a therapeutic point of view, chemical modifications and conjugations of siRNA are powerful strategies to improve their properties toward clinical applications. We can access to siRNA molecules from hydroxyl groups, phosphate backbone, and major groove side and minor groove side of nucleobases. We need to know proper moieties at proper positions for chemical modifications to construct an optimized structure of siRNA. In the present study, we synthesized and evaluated 10 types of siRNAs bearing C5-modified T. All the siRNAs modified in the antisense strand showed reduced silencing efficiencies. It is to be noted the modified positions which intensively reduced silencing efficiencies are well consistent with the positions having major kinks and turns in the crystal structure of guide strandim & Ago2. On the other hand, modification of the sense strand caused less damage to silencing of siRNA and no damage was observed for the modification at s8. - Yojiro Kotake; Taiki Goto; Madoka Naemura; Yasutoshi Inoue; Haruna Okamoto; Keiichiro TaharaANTICANCER RESEARCH INT INST ANTICANCER RESEARCH 37 (1) 81 - 85 0250-7005 2017/01 [Refereed]
Background: A long noncoding RNA, p21-associated ncRNA DNA damage-activated (PANDA), associates with nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha (NF-YA) and inhibits its binding to promoters of apoptosis-related genes, thereby repressing apoptosis in normal human fibroblasts. Here, we show that PANDA is involved in regulating proliferation in the U2OS human osteosarcoma cell line. Materials and Methods: U2OS cells were transfected with siRNAs against PANDA 72 h later and they were subjected to reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), quantitative RT-PCR and cell-cycle analysis. Results: PANDA was highly expressed in U2OS cells, and its expression was induced by DNA damage. Silencing PANDA caused arrest at the G(1) phase of the cell cycle, leading to inhibition of cell proliferation. Quantitative RT-PCR showed that silencing PANDA increased mRNA levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p18, which caused G(1) phase arrest. Conclusion: These results suggest that PANDA promotes G(1)-S transition by repressing p18 transcription, and thus promotes U2OS cell proliferation. - Yojiro Kotake; Madoka Naemura; Kyoko Kitagawa; Hiroyuki Niida; Toshiyuki Tsunoda; Senji Shirasawa; Masatoshi KitagawaCYTOTECHNOLOGY SPRINGER 68 (4) 1591 - 1596 0920-9069 2016/08 [Refereed]
Recent ultrahigh-density tiling array and large-scale transcriptome analysis have revealed that large numbers of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed in mammals. Several lncRNAs have been implicated in transcriptional regulation, organization of nuclear structure, and post-transcriptional processing. However, the regulation of expression of lncRNAs is less well understood. Here, we show that the exogenous and endogenous expression of an oncogenic form of small GTPase Ras (called oncogenic Ras) decrease the expression of lncRNA ANRIL (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus), which is involved in the regulation of cellular senescence. We also show that forced expression of oncogenic Ras increases the expression of lncRNA PANDA (p21 associated ncRNA DNA damage activated), which is involved in the regulation of apoptosis. Microarray analysis demonstrated that expression of multiple lncRNAs fluctuated by forced expression of oncogenic Ras. These findings indicate that oncogenic Ras regulates the expression of a large number of lncRNAs including functional lncRNAs, such as ANRIL and PANDA. - 新貝 恭広; 柏原 慎一; 藤井 啓史; 峰松 剛; 吉永 尚平; 苗村 円佳; 神武 洋二郎; 藤井 政幸近畿大学産業理工学部研究報告 近畿大学産業理工学部 (24) 1 - 5 1349-5801 2016/07For clinical applications of small interfering RNA (siRNA), chemical structure of siRNA should be optimized to be taken up into cells effectively, resistant to nuclease digestion, incorporated into RNA induced silencing complex (RISC) rapidly and correctly. They should also have minimized off-target effect and maximized turn over number. In this study, we investigated RNA interference (RNAi) efficiencies of siRNAs bearing 5'-amino-5'-deoxythymidine (T*) at 5'-end. The results showed that T* at the 5'-end of the sense strand did not interfere the processes of RISC loading complex (RLC) formation, loading to RISC or cleavage of the passenger strand by human argonaute2 (hAgo2) at all. On the other hand, T* at the 5'-end of the antisense strand gave a fatal damage to siRNA to show almost no silencing effect probably because RISC was destabilized by an electrostatic repulsion between the cationic charge of the ammonium group of T* and the cationic residues in MID domain pocket of hAgo2. These results strongly suggest that a modification of 5'-end of a sense strand with T* will suppress an off-target effect.

Background: P21-associated noncoding RNA DNA damage-activated (PANDA) is induced in response to DNA damage and represses apoptosis by inhibiting the function of nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha (NF-YA) transcription factor. Herein, we report that PANDA affects regulation of p53 tumor-suppressor protein. Materials and Methods: U2OS cells were transfected with PANDA siRNAs. At 72 h post-transfection, cells were subjected to immunoblotting and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results: Depletion of PANDA was associated with decreased levels of p53 protein, but not p53 mRNA. The stability of p53 protein was markedly reduced by PANDA silencing. Degradation of p53 protein by silencing PANDA was prevented by treatment of MG132, a proteasome inhibitor. Moreover, depletion of PANDA prevented accumulation of p53 protein, as a result of DNA damage, induced by the genotoxic agent etoposide. Conclusion: These results suggest that PANDA stabilizes p53 protein in response to DNA damage, and provide new insight into the regulatory mechanisms of p53. - Madoka Naemura; Toshiyuki Tsunoda; Yasutoshi Inoue; Haruna Okamoto; Senji Shirasawa; Yojiro KotakeMOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOCHEMISTRY SPRINGER 412 (1-2) 141 - 146 0300-8177 2016/01 [Refereed]
ANRIL is a long noncoding RNA transcribed from the INK4 locus that encodes three tumor suppressor genes, p15, p16, and ARF. Previous studies demonstrated that ANRIL represses p15 and p16, which positively regulate the pRB pathway, leading to repression of cellular senescence of human normal fibroblasts. However, the role of ANRIL in cancer cell proliferation is less well understood. Here we report that ANRIL is involved in the proliferation of colorectal cancer HCT116 cells in two-and three-dimensional culture. Silencing ANRIL by both transfection with small interfering RNA and retrovirally produced small hairpin RNA reduced HCT116 cell proliferation in both two-and three-dimensional culture. HCT116 cells depleted for ANRIL were arrested in the S phase of cell cycle. Notably, silencing ANRIL did not result in the activation of expression of the INK4 locus. These results suggest that ANRIL positively regulates the proliferation of HCT116 cells in two-and three-dimensional culture in a p15/p16-pRB pathway-independent manner. - LONG NONCODING RNA ANRIL PROMOTES PROLIFERATION OF CANCER CELLSMadoka Naemura; Chihiro Murasaki; Yasutoshi Inoue; Haruna Okamoto; Yojiro KotakeProceeding of Joint International Symposium on「Regional Revitalization and Innovation for Social Contribution」 and and「e-ASIA Functional Materials and Biomass Utilization 2015」 54 2015/11 [Refereed]

Background: Long noncoding RNA ANRIL (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus) represses p15 and p16, which induce cell-cycle arrest at G(1) phase, leading to enhanced cell proliferation of normal fibroblasts. Herein we report that ANRIL is also involved in the regulation of cancer-cell proliferation. Materials and Methods: HeLa and H1299 cells were transfected with ANRIL siRNAs. At 72 h post-transfection, cells were subjected to quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and cell-cycle analysis. Results: qRT-PCR showed that ANRIL is highly expressed in these cancer cells compared to normal fibroblasts. Depletion of ANRIL increased p15 expression, with no impact on p16 or ARF (alternative reading frame) expression, and caused cell-cycle arrest at the G(2)/M phase, leading to inhibition of proliferation of H1299 and HeLa cells. Conclusion: ANRIL positively regulates the proliferation of cancer cells, such as H1299 and HeLa cells, via regulating p15 and other genes related to G(2)/M phase control. - Yojiro Kotake; Madoka Naemura; Chihiro Murasaki; Yasutoshi Inoue; Haruna OkamotoANTICANCER RESEARCH INT INST ANTICANCER RESEARCH 35 (8) 4397 - 4401 0250-7005 2015/08 [Refereed]
The p16 tumor suppressor gene encodes a specific inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 and is found altered in a wide range of human cancers. p16 plays a pivotal role in tumor suppressor networks through inducing cellular senescence that acts as a barrier to cellular transformation by oncogenic signals. p16 protein is relatively stable and its expression is primary regulated by transcriptional control. Polycomb group (PcG) proteins associate with the p16 locus in a long non-coding RNA, ANRIL-dependent manner, leading to repression of p16 transcription. YB1, a transcription factor, also represses the p16 transcription through direct association with its promoter region. Conversely, the transcription factors Ets1/2 and histone H3K4 methyltransferase MLL1 directly bind to the p16 locus and mediate p16 induction during replicative and premature senescence. In the present review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms by which these factors regulate p16 transcription. - Yojiro Kotake; Masatoshi KitagawaLong Noncoding RNAs Structures and Functions Springer Japan 175 - 189 2015/01 [Refereed]
Retinoblastoma protein (pRB) and p53 pathways play a key role in controlling the cell cycle and apoptosis in response to oncogenic insults and DNA damage. Disruption of these pathways deregulates the control of cell proliferation and represents a common event in the development of most types of human cancer. Recent studies have revealed that several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of pRB and p53 pathways, through transcriptional and translational control of target genes. In this chapter, we focus on four lncRNAs: ANRIL, lincRNA-p21, lincRNA-RoR, and PANDA. These lncRNAs are involved in the pRB and p53 pathways. ANRIL associates with and recruits polycomb proteins to repress the transcription of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p15 and p16 genes, resulting in the repression of pRB function. lincRNA-p21, lincRNA-RoR, and PANDA are induced by p53 in response to DNA damage and regulate apoptosis. We discuss the involvement of ANRIL, lincRNA-p21, lincRNA-RoR, and PANDA in cellular functions through the pRB and p53 pathways, and the molecular mechanisms by which these lncRNAs regulate the expression of target genes. - Yojiro Kotake; Madoka Naemura; Chihiro MurasakiSeikagaku Japanese Biochemical Society 87 (2) 230 - 233 2189-0544 2015 [Refereed]

Cyclin D1, an oncogenic G1 cyclin, and YB-1, a transcription factor involved in cell growth, are both over-expressed in several human cancers. In human lung cancer, the functional association between YB-1 and cyclin D1 has never been elucidated. In this study, we show YB-1 is involved in the transcription of cyclin D1 in human lung cancer. Depletion of endogenous YB-1 by siRNA inhibited progression of G1 phase and down-regulated both the protein and mRNA levels of cyclin D1 in human lung cancer cells. Forced over-expression of YB-1 with a cyclin D1 reporter plasmid increased luciferase activity, and ChIP assay results showed YB-1 bound to the cyclin D1 promoter. Moreover, the amount of YB-1 mRNA positively correlated with cyclin D1 mRNA levels in clinical non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens. Immunohistochemical analysis also indicated YB-1 expression correlated with cyclin D1 expression in NSCLC specimens. In addition, most of the cases expressing both cyclin D1 and CDC6, another molecule controlled by YB-1, had co-existing YB-1 over-expression. Together, our results suggest that aberrant expression of both cyclin D1 and CDC6 by YB-1 over-expression may collaboratively participate in lung carcinogenesis. - M. Harada; Y. Kotake; T. Ohhata; K.

The mammalian cell cycle is precisely controlled by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and related pathways such as the RB and p53 pathways. Recent research on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) indicates that many lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of critical cell cycle regulators such as the cyclins, CDKs, CDK inhibitors, pRB, and p53. These lncRNAs act as epigenetic regulators, transcription factor regulators, post-transcription regulators, and protein scaffolds. These cell cycle-regulated lncRNAs mainly control cellular levels of cell cycle regulators via various mechanisms, and may provide diversity and reliability to the general cell cycle. Interestingly, several lncRNAs are induced by DNA damage and participate in cell cycle arrest or induction of apoptosis as DNA damage responses. Therefore, deregulations of these cell cycle regulatory lncRNAs may be involved in tumorigenesis, and they are novel candidate molecular targets for cancer therapy and diagnosis. - Yojiro Kotake; Yuichi Ozawa; Masanori Harada; Kyoko Kitagawa; Hiroyuki Niida; Yasutaka Morita; Kenji Tanaka; Takafumi Suda; Masatoshi KitagawaGENES TO CELLS WILEY-BLACKWELL 18 (11) 999 - 1006 1356-9597 2013/11 [Refereed]
Y box binding protein 1 (YB1) has multiple functions associated with drug resistance, cell proliferation and metastasis through transcriptional and translational regulation. Increased expression of YB1 is closely related to tumor growth and aggressiveness. We showed that YB1 protein levels were decreased through replicative and premature senescence and were correlated with increased expression levels of p16(INK4A) tumor suppressor gene. Depletion of YB1 was associated with increased levels of p16 in human and murine primary cells. Forced expression of YB1 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts resulted in decreased expression of p16 and increased cell proliferation. Senescence-associated expression of -galactosidase was repressed in YB1-over-expressing cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that YB1 directly associates with the p16 promoter. Taken together, all our findings indicate that YB1 directly binds to and represses p16 transcription, subsequently resulting in the promotion of cell growth and prevention of cellular senescence. - Masatoshi Kitagawa; Yojiro Kotake; Tatsuya OhhataCURRENT DRUG TARGETS BENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTD 13 (13) 1616 - 1621 1389-4501 2012/12 [Refereed]
The possible physiological significance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has only recently been recognized. Technical innovations such as the super high-resolution tiling array and deep sequencing technology have indicated their importance. It has been proposed that lncRNAs such as HOTAIR are involved in the recruitment of chromatin modifiers to the target genes. The lncRNA ANRIL has been reported to be associated with a Polycomb complex, recruiting it to the target gene INK4 locus where it suppresses transcription via histone modification. Other lncRNAs such as Kcnq1ot1, AIR and Xist have also been found to recruit chromatin modifiers to their target loci. In this review, we discuss the function of lncRNAs such as HOTAIR, ANRIL, Kcnq1ot1, and Xist which recruit chromatin modifiers to target genes and discuss their involvement in cancer development and aggressiveness, and other cell fate determination. - Ning Liu; Masaki Matsumoto; Kyoko Kitagawa; Yojiro Kotake; Sayuri Suzuki; Senji Shirasawa; Keiichi I.

The tumour suppressor gene product Mig-6 acts as an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor (EGF) signalling. However, its posttranslational modifications and regulatory mechanisms have not been elucidated. Here, we investigated the phosphorylation of human Mig-6 and found that Chk1 phosphorylated Mig-6 in vivo as well as in vitro. Moreover, EGF stimulation promoted phosphorylation of Mig-6 without DNA damage and the phosphorylation was inhibited by depletion of Chk1. EGF also increased Ser280-phosphorylated Chk1, a cytoplasmic-tethering form, via PI3K pathway. Mass spectrometric analyses suggested that Ser 251 of Mig-6 was a major phosphorylation site by Chk1 in vitro and in vivo. Substitution of Ser 251 to alanine increased inhibitory activity of Mig-6 against EGF receptor (EGFR) activation. Moreover, EGF-dependent activation of EGFR and cell growth were inhibited by Chk1 depletion, and were rescued by co-depletion of Mig-6. Our results suggest that Chk1 phosphorylates Mig-6 on Ser 251, resulting in the inhibition of Mig-6, and that Chk1 acts as a positive regulator of EGF signalling. This is a novel function of Chk1.

SCF-Skp2 E3 ubiquitin ligase (Skp2 hereafter) targets several cell cycle regulatory proteins for degradation via the ubiquitin-dependent pathway. However, the target-specific physiological functions of Skp2 have not been fully elucidated in kidney diseases. We previously reported an increase in Skp2 in progressive nephropathy and amelioration of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) renal injury associated with renal accumulation of p27 in Skp2(-/-) mice. However, it remains unclear whether the amelioration of renal injury in Skp2(-/-) mice is solely caused by p27 accumulation, since Skp2 targets several other proteins. Using Skp2(-/-) p27(-/-) mice, we investigated whether Skp2 specifically targets p27 in the progressive nephropathy mediated by UUO. In contrast to the marked suppression of UUO renal injury in Skp2(-/-) mice, progression of tubular dilatation associated with tubular epithelial cell proliferation and tubulointerstitial fibrosis with increased expression of collagen and alpha-smooth muscle actin were observed in the obstructed kidneys in Skp2(-/-) p27(-/-) mice. No significant increases in other Skp2 target proteins including p57, p130, TOB1, cyclin A and cyclin D1 were noted in the UUO kidney in Skp2(-/-) mice, while p21, c-Myc, b-Myb and cyclin E were slightly increased. Contrary to the ameliorated UUO renal injure by Skp2-deficiency, the amelioration was canceled by the additional p27-deficiency in Skp2(-/-) p27(-/-) mice. These findings suggest a pathogenic role of the reduction in p27 targeted by Skp2 in the progression of nephropathy in UUO mice. - Sayuri Suzuki; Hirotaka Fukasawa; Taro Misaki; Akashi Togawa; Naro Ohashi; Kyoko Kitagawa; Yojiro Kotake; Hiroyuki Niida; Akira Hishida; Tatsuo Yamamoto; Masatoshi KitagawaGENES TO CELLS WILEY-BLACKWELL 16 (11) 1110 - 1120 1356-9597 2011/11 [Refereed]
The cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor p27 level is associated with progression of renal damage. We previously reported that mRNA of Skp2, a component of Skp/Cullin/F-box (SCF)-ubiquitin ligase which targets to p27, was increased in unilateral ureteral obstructive kidneys in mice and that the nephritis was attenuated in Skp2-deficient mice. However, the details have not been fully clarified. Here, we found that not only Skp2 but also cdc kinase subunit 1 (Cks1), an essential cofactor for the SCF-Skp2 ubiquitin ligase in targeting p27, was increased in another chronic progressive model, anti-thymocyte serum (ATS) rat nephropathy. After induction of ATS nephropathy, Skp2(+)/Cks1(+)/Ki67(+) tubular epithelial cell numbers increased, and p27(+) tubular epithelial cells decreased transiently. Moreover, we found that TNF alpha was involved in expression of both Skp2 and Cks1 in NRK cell line as well as the in ATS nephropathy. Nuclear accumulations of NF-kappa B subunits RelB and p52 were increased in the tubular epithelial cells of the nephritic kidney. Both Skp2 and Cks1 were colocalized with RelB in these cells. These data suggest that both Skp2 and Cks1 are up-regulated by the TNF alpha-RelB/p52 pathway in the early stages of renal damage and are collaboratively involved in down-regulation of p27 in proliferative tubular dilation and the progression of chronic nephropathy. - Tiffany Hung; Yulei Wang; Michael F.

Transcription of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) within gene regulatory elements can modulate gene activity in response to external stimuli, but the scope and functions of such activity are not known. Here we use an ultrahigh-density array that tiles the promoters of 56 cell-cycle genes to interrogate 108 samples representing diverse perturbations. We identify 216 transcribed regions that encode putative lncRNAs, many with RT-PCR-validated periodic expression during the cell cycle, show altered expression in human cancers and are regulated in expression by specific oncogenic stimuli, stem cell differentiation or DNA damage. DNA damage induces five lncRNAs from the CDKN1A promoter, and one such lncRNA, named PANDA, is induced in a p53-dependent manner. PANDA interacts with the transcription factor NF-YA to limit expression of pro-apoptotic genes; PANDA depletion markedly sensitized human fibroblasts to apoptosis by doxorubicin. These findings suggest potentially widespread roles for promoter lncRNAs in cell-growth control. - Y. Kotake; T. Nakagawa; K. Kitagawa; S. Suzuki; N. Liu; M. Kitagawa; Y.

A 42 kb region on human chromosome 9p21 encodes for three distinct tumor suppressors, p16(INK4A), p14(ARF) and p15(INK4B), and is altered in an estimated 30-40% of human tumors. The expression of the INK4A-ARF-INK4B gene cluster is silenced by polycomb during normal cell growth and is activated by oncogenic insults and during aging. How the polycomb is recruited to repress this gene cluster is unclear. Here, we show that expression of oncogenic Ras, which stimulates the expression of p15(INK4B) and p(16INK4A), but not p14ARF, inhibits the expression of ANRIL (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus), a 3.8 kblong non-coding RNA expressed in the opposite direction from INK4A-ARF-INK4B. We show that the p15(INK4B) locus is bound by SUZ12, a component of polycomb repression complex 2 (PRC2), and is H3K27-trimethylated. Notably, depletion of ANRIL disrupts the SUZ12 binding to the p15(INK4B) locus, increases the expression of p15(INK4B), but not p16(INK4A) or p14(ARF), and inhibits cellular proliferation. Finally, RNA immunoprecipitation demonstrates that ANRIL binds to SUZ12 in vivo. Collectively, these results suggest a model in which ANRIL binds to and recruits PRC2 to repress the expression of p15INK4B locus.

The expression of tumor suppressor Arf is tightly repressed during normal cell growth at a young age and is activated by oncogenic insults, and during aging, results in p53 activation and cell-cycle arrest to prevent hyperproliferation. The mechanisms of both transcriptional repression and activation of Arf are not understood. We show that p53 binds to and represses Arf expression and that this repression requires the function of both histone deacetylases (HDAC) and polycomb group (PcG) proteins. Inactivation of p53 leads to increased Arf transcription in both mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) cultured in vitro and in tissues and organs of p53 null mice. Activation of endogenous p53 enhances Arf repression, and reintroduction of p53 back into p53 null MEFs restores Arf repression. Both DNA binding and transactivation activities of p53 are required for Arf repression. We show that p53 is required for both HDAC and PcG to repress Arf expression. Bindings of both HDAC and PcG to Arf are disrupted by inactivation of p53 and can be restored in p53 null MEFs by the reintroduction of wildtype, but not mutant, p53. These results indicate that p53 recruits both HDAC and PcG to Arf locus to repress its expression, and this repression constitutes a second feedback loop in p53 regulation.

We aimed to clarify the transcription-regulation mechanisms of the mouse telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (mTERT). First, we searched for the promoter region required for transcriptional activation of mTERT and identified an enhancer cis-element (named mTERT-EE) located between -200 and -179 bp of the mouse TERT gene (mTERT). EMSA results suggested that nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) member proteins bind to mTERT-EE. We then identified NFAT5 as the factor binding to mTERT-EE and found that it activates the transcription of the mTERT core promoter. The results that siRNA directed against NFAT5 significantly reduced mTERT expression and mTERT core promoter activity and that the expressions of NFAT5 and mTERT were well correlated in various mouse tissues except liver suggest that NFAT5 dominantly and directly regulates mTERT expression. To clarify their functionality further, we investigated the effect of hypertonic stress, a known stimulus affecting the expression and transcriptional activity of NFAT5, on mTERT expression. The result indicated that hypertonic stress activates mTERT transcription via the activation and recruitment of NFAT5 to the mTERT promoter. These results provide useful information about the transcription-regulation mechanisms of mTERT. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Background: c-Myb is expressed at high levels in immature progenitors of all the hematopoietic lineages. It is associated with the regulation of proliferation, differentiation and survival of erythroid, myeloid and lymphoid cells, but decreases during the terminal differentiation to mature blood cells. The cellular level of c-Myb is controlled by not only transcriptional regulation but also ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. We recently reported that mouse c-Myb protein is controlled by ubiquitin-dependent degradation by SCF-Fbw7 E3 ligase via glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3)-mediated phosphorylation of Thr-572 in a Cdc4 phosphodegron (CPD)-dependent manner. However, this critical threonine residue is not conserved in human c-Myb. In this study, we investigated whether GSK3 is involved in the regulatory mechanism for human c-Myb expression. Results: Human c-Myb was degraded by ubiquitin-dependent degradation via SCF-Fbw7. Human Fbw7 ubiquitylated not only human c-Myb but also mouse c-Myb, whereas mouse Fbw7 ubiquitylated mouse c-Myb but not human c-Myb. Human Fbw7 mutants with mutations of arginine residues important for recognition of the CPD still ubiquitylated human c-Myb. These data strongly suggest that human Fbw7 ubiquitylates human c-Myb in a CPD-independent manner. Mutations of the putative GSK3 phosphorylation sites in human c-Myb did not affect the Fbw7-dependent ubiquitylation of human c-Myb. Neither chemical inhibitors nor a siRNA for GSK3 beta affected the stability of human c-Myb. However, depletion of GSK3 beta upregulated the transcription of human c-Myb, resulting in transcriptional suppression of gamma-globin, one of the c-Myb target genes. Conclusions: The present observations suggest that human Fbw7 ubiquitylates human c-Myb in a CPD-independent manner, whereas mouse Fbw7 ubiquitylates human c-Myb in a CPD-dependent manner. Moreover, GSK3 negatively regulates the transcriptional expression of human c-Myb but does not promote Fbw7-dependent degradation of human c-Myb protein. Inactivation of GSK3 as well as mutations of Fbw7 may be causes of the enhanced c-Myb expression observed in leukemia cells. We conclude that expression levels of human and mouse c-Myb are regulated via different mechanisms. - 癌化シグナルによるCDKインヒビターp16の転写活性化機構の解明神武洋二郎東京生化学研究会助成研究報告集 24 96 - 100 2010/06

The SCFFbw7 ubiquitin ligase complex plays important roles in cell growth, survival, and differentiation via the ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated regulation of protein stability. Fbw7 (also known as Fbxw7, Sel-10, hCdc4, or hAgo), a substrate recognition subunit of SCFFbw7 ubiquitin ligase, facilitates the degradation of several proto-oncogene products by the proteasome. Given that mutations in Fbw7 are found in various types of human cancers, Fbw7 is considered to be a potent tumor suppressor. In the present study, we show that E1A, an oncogene product derived from adenovirus, interferes with the activity of the SCFFbw7 ubiquitin ligase. E1A interacted with SCFFbw7 and attenuated the ubiquitylation of its target proteins in vivo. Furthermore, using in vitro purified SCFFbw7 component proteins, we found that E1A directly bound to Roc1/Rbx1 and CUL1 and that E1A inhibited the ubiquitin ligase activity of the Roc1/Rbx1-CUL1 complex but not that of another RING-type ubiquitin ligase, Mdm2. Ectopically expressed E1A interacted with cellular endogenous Roc1/Rbx1 and CUL1 and decelerated the degradation of several protooncogene products that were degraded by SCFFbw7 ubiquitin ligase. Moreover, after wild-type adenovirus infection, adenovirus-derived E1A interacted with endogenous Roc1/Rbx1 and decelerated degradation of the endogenous target protein of SCFFbw7. These observations demonstrated that E1A perturbs protein turnover regulated by SCFFbw7 through the inhibition of SCFFbw7 ubiquitin ligase. Our findings may help to explain the mechanism whereby adenovirus infection induces unregulated proliferation. - Kyoko Kitagawa; Yojiro Kotake; Masatoshi KitagawaCANCER SCIENCE WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC 100 (8) 1374 - 1381 1347-9032 2009/08 [Refereed]
Cellular levels of products from both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in normal cells need to be critically regulated to avoid malignant transformation. These products are often controlled by the ubiquitin proteasome pathway, the specific degradation mechanism in the cell. E3 ubiquitin ligases polyubiquitylate their specific substrates by collaborating with E1 and E2, and then the modified substrates are degraded in the proteasome. Mdm2 targets p53 and retinoblastoma protein, two major tumor suppressor gene products, for ubiquitin-dependent degradation. SCF(Skp2) targets other tumor suppressor gene products and CDK inhibitors such as p130, Tob1, p27(Kip1), p57(Kip2), and p21(Cip1). Therefore, both E3 ligases act like oncogene products. In contrast, degradation of several oncogene products, such as Cyclin E, Notch, c-Myc, c-Jun, and c-Myb, are mediated by SCF(Fbw7). Fbw7 is often deleted or mutated in human cancers and acts like a tumor suppressor. As well as growth factor receptors and signal transduction regulators, DNA repair-related proteins are also regulated via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway mediated by their specific E3 ligases. The stabilization of oncogene products and enhanced degradation of tumor suppressor gene products or DNA repair proteins might be associated with carcinogenesis and malignant progression, due to defects or the abnormal expression of their E3 ligases.

Downregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitory protein p27 is frequently observed in various cancers due to enhancement of its degradation. We recently reported that p53-inducible protein with RING-H2 domain (Pirh2) is a novel ubiquitin ligase for p27, required for the ubiquitylation and consequent degradation of p27 protein. However, there is no reports about the involvement of Pirh2 in both p27 downregulation and pathogenesis in human cancers. In the present study, we investigated them using cultured cell lines and surgical specimens derived from human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Depletion of Pirh2 by short interfering RNA induced accumulation of p27 and inhibited the growth of cultured HNSCC cells. By immunohistochemical analysis in 57 cases of HNSCC specimens, higher levels of Pirh2 expression (labeling index >= 60%) were found in 61.4% of HNSCC in comparison with 0% of normal mucosa. In addition, 83.3% of HNSCC with lower p27 expression (labeling index < 20%) displayed high Pirh2 levels. Therefore, Pirh2 expression was inversely correlated with p27 expression. Finally, Pirh2 expression was well correlated with poor prognosis. These findings suggest that Pirh2 overexpression may have an important role in the development and maintenance of HNSCC at least partially through p27 degradation, and that Pirh2 may be a potential molecular target for human HNSCC.

The induction of cellular senescence by oncogenic signals acts as a barrier to cellular transformation and is attained, in part, by the elevation of the p16(INK4a) tumor suppressor gene. p16 expression is repressed epigenctically by Polycomb, but how p16 is induced is not known. We report here that the p16 locus is H3K4-methylated in highly expressing cells. H3K4 methyltransferase MLL1 directly binds to and is required, along with its core component RbBP5, for the induction of p16 by oncogenic Ras. We further show that damaged DNA binding protein DDB1 and CUL4, which assemble distinct E3 ubiquitin ligases by recruiting various WD40 proteins, act upstream of MLL1-mediated H3K4 methylation. We showed that CUL4A directly binds to p16 and that silencing DDB1 blocks Ras-induced p16 activation. Ras expression dissociates BM11 from the p16 locus, whereas both CUL4 and MLL1 bind to the p16 locus similarly in both normal and oncogenic stimulated cells. These results suggest that DDB1-CUL4 and MLL1 complexes constitute a novel pathway that mediates p16 activation during oncogenic checkpoint response and is repressed by the polycomb repression complexes during normal growth of young cells.

Damaged DNA binding protein 1, DDB1, bridges an estimated 90 or more WD40 repeats (DDB1-binding WD40, or DWD proteins) to the CUL4-ROC1 catalytic core to constitute a potentially large number of E3 ligase complexes. Among these DWD proteins is the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpr-binding protein VprBP, whose cellular function has yet to be characterized but has recently been found to mediate Vpr-induced G(2) cell cycle arrest. We demonstrate here that VprBP binds stoichiometrically with DDB1 through its WD40 domain and through DDB1 to CUL4A, subunits of the COP9/signalsome, and DDA1. The steady-state level of VprBP remains constant during interphase and decreases during mitosis. VprBP binds to chromatin in a DDB1-independent and cell cycle-dependent manner, increasing from early S through G(2) before decreasing to undetectable levels in mitotic and G(1) cells. Silencing VprBP reduced the rate of DNA replication, blocked cells from progressing through the S phase, and inhibited proliferation. VprBP ablation in mice results in early embryonic lethality. Conditional deletion of the VprBP gene in mouse embryonic fibroblasts results in severely defective progression through S phase and subsequent apoptosis. Our studies identify a previously unknown function of VprBP in S-phase progression and suggest the possibility that HIV-1 Vpr may divert an ongoing chromosomal replication activity to facilitate viral replication. - Yojiro Kotake; Ru Cao; Patrick Viatour; Julien Sage; Yi Zhang; Yue XiongGENES & DEVELOPMENT COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT 21 (1) 49 - 54 0890-9369 2007/01 [Refereed]
Genetic studies have demonstrated that Bmi1 promotes cell proliferation and stem cell self-renewal with a correlative decrease of p16(INK4a) expression. Here, we demonstrate that Polycomb genes EZH2 and BMI1 repress p16 expression in human and mouse primary cells, but not in cells deficient for pRB protein function. The p16 locus is H3K27-methylated and bound by BMI1, RING2, and SUZ12. Inactivation of pRB family proteins abolishes H3K27 methylation and disrupts BMI1, RING2, and SUZ12 binding to the p16 locus. These results suggest a model in which pRB proteins recruit PRC2 to trimethylate p16, priming the BMI1-containing PRC1L ubiquitin ligase complex to silence p16. - Y Xiong; Y KotakeGENES & DEVELOPMENT COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT 20 (6) 637 - 642 0890-9369 2006/03 [Refereed]

The inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinase activity by p27 contributes to regulation of cell cycle progression. Serine 10 is the major phosphorylation site of p27, and its phosphorylation has been shown to affect the stability and nuclear export of p27 at the G(0)-G(1) transition in transfected cultured cells. To investigate the physiological relevance of p27 phosphorylation on Ser(10), we generated p27 "knock-in" mice that harbor an S10A mutation in this protein. Mice homozygous for the mutation (p27(S10A/S10A) mice) were normal in body size, but the abundance of p27 was decreased in many organs, including brain, thymus, spleen, and testis. The stability of p27 in G(0) phase was markedly reduced in lymphocytes of p27(S10A/S10A) mice compared with that in wild-type cells, whereas p27 stability in S phase was similar in cells of the two genotypes. The degradation of p27 in cells of the mutant mice at G(0) phase was prevented by a proteasome inhibitor. These data indicate that the physiological role of p27 phosphorylation on Ser(10) is to stabilize the protein in G(0) phase. Unexpectedly, the nuclear export of p27 at the G(0)-G(1) transition occurred normally in p27(S10A/S10A) mouse embryonic fibroblasts, indicating that phosphorylation of Ser(10) is dispensable for this process. - CDKインヒビターp27Kip1のタンパク質分解による制御機構神武 洋二郎; 中山 敬一遺伝子医学 7 (24) 79 - 85 2003/06

Telomerase is known to maintain the telomere by avoiding the shortening of the telomere which normally occurs during end replication, thus granting immortality to cancer cells and stem cells. Telomerase activity is thought to be regulated mainly at the transcriptional level. Furthermore, the telomerase regulation mechanism is reported to be markedly different between human and mouse. Particularly, telomerase has been shown not to be expressed in normal human tissues, but abundant expression has been shown to be expressed in all mouse tissues except in brain and muscle tissue. By using various deletion mutants of mouse telomerase reverse transcriptase (mTERT) promoter in promoter assay, we obtained result that -200 to -178 by from the translational start site confers a strong transcriptional activity in mTERT promoter, where NF-AT and v-Myb are expected to bind. Although v-Myb could not activate the promoter, NF-AT member proteins, especially NF-AT5 could activate the 5 tandem repeat of -200 to -178 fused to luciferase gene (mTERT-EE). Furthermore, dominant negative mutants of NF-AT5 repressed promoter activity of mTERT-EE. These results demonstrate that NF-AT5 activates the mTERT promoter activity via binding to -200 to 178 region, which might confers the ubiquitous expression of mTERT.
