简介

Negative regulator of katanin-mediated microtubule severing and release from the centrosome. Required for central spindle formation and the completion of cytokinesis. May negatively regulate axonal outgrowth by preventing the formation of microtubule bundles that are necessary for transport within the elongating axon. Negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Represses beta-catenin-mediated transcriptional activation by promoting the nuclear exclusion of beta-catenin.

Phosphorylation of LZTS2 by PLK1 activates the Wnt pathway

Article

作者: Zhou, Zizhang ; Zhou, Dafa ; Liu, Ran ; Yu, Bentong

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), responsible for nearly half of lung cancer cases, is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumors globally. There is increasing evidence suggesting that the oncoprotein PLK1 plays a role in the onset and advancement of different types of cancer, including LUAD. Nonetheless, the precise mechanism by which PLK1 promotes tumorigenesis remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate the upregulation of PLK1 in LUAD samples, which leads to a poor prognosis for LUAD patients. Intriguingly, PLK1 enables to bind to LZTS2 and promote its phosphorylation without affecting LZTS2 degradation. Furthermore, we identify that Ser451 is a key phosphorylation site in LZTS2 protein. LZTS2 exerts an anti-tumor effect by restricting the translocation of the transcription factor β-Catenin into the nucleus, thereby suppressing the Wnt pathway. PLK1 disrupts the interaction between LZTS2 and β-Catenin, resulting in the nuclear accumulation of β-Catenin and the activation of the Wnt pathway. Additionally, we reveal that LZTS2 inhibits the proliferation and migration of LUAD cells, which is rescued by PLK1. Finally, PLK1 inhibitors exhibit a dose-dependent suppression of LUAD cell proliferation and migration. Collectively, this study uncovers the pro-tumorigenic mechanism of PLK1, positioning it as a promising therapeutic target for Wnt-related LUAD.

BACKGROUNDColon cancer (CC) is the most frequently occurring digestive system malignancy and is associated with a dismal prognosis. While super-enhancer (SE) genes have been identified as prognostic markers in several cancers, their potential as practical prognostic markers for CC patients remains unexplored.METHODSWe obtained super-enhancer-related genes (SERGs) from the Human Super-Enhancer Database (SEdb). Transcriptome and relevant clinical data for colon cancer (CC) were sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Subsequently, we identified up-regulated SERGs by the Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA). Prognostic signatures were constructed via univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. We then delved into the mechanisms of these predictive genes by examining immune infiltration. We also assessed differential sensitivities to chemotherapeutic drugs between high- and low-SERGs risk patients. The critical gene was further validated using external datasets and finally confirmed by qRT PCR.RESULTSWe established a ten-gene risk score prognostic model (S100A11, LZTS2, CYP2S1, ZNF552, PSMG1, GJC1, NXN, and DCBLD2), which can effectively predict patient survival rates. This model demonstrated effective prediction capabilities in survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years and was successfully validated using external datasets. Furthermore, we detected significant differences in immune cell infiltration between high- and low-SERGs risk groups. Notably, high-risk patients exhibited heightened sensitivity to four chemotherapeutic agents, suggesting potential benefits for precision therapy in CC patients. Finally, qRT-PCR validation revealed a significant upregulation of LZTS2 mRNA expression in CC cells.CONCLUSIONThese findings reveal that the SERGs model could effectively predict the prognosis of CC.

EBV-encoded miRNAs BHRF1-1 and BART2-5p aggravate post- transplant lymphoproliferative disorder via LZTS2-PI3K-AKT axis

Article

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is one of the most serious complications after transplantation. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a key pathogenic driver of PTLD. About 80% of PTLD patients are EBV positive. However, the accuracy of preventing and diagnosing EBV-PTLD by monitoring EBV DNA load is limited. Therefore, new diagnostic molecular markers are urgently needed. EBV-encoded miRNAs can regulate a variety of EBV-associated tumors and are expected to be potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. We found BHRF1-1 and BART2-5p were significantly elevated in EBV-PTLD patients, functionally promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis in EBV-PTLD. Mechanistically, we first found that LZTS2 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in EBV-PTLD, and BHRF1-1 and BART2-5p can simultaneously inhibit LZTS2 and activate PI3K-AKT pathway. This study shows that BHRF1-1 and BART2-5p can simultaneously inhibit the expression of tumor suppressor LZTS2, and activate the PI3K-AKT pathway, leading to the occurrence and development of EBV-PTLD. Therefore, BHRF1-1 and BART2-5p are expected to be potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for EBV-PTLD patients.
