    Abstract Background: Inhibitor growth protein 1 (ING1) is a tumor suppressor, and its down-regulation is involved in the progression and aggressive phenotypes of human malignancies through its interactions with the H3K4me3 and p53.
    Methods: We collected datasets to analyze the relationship between ING1b mRNA expression and accumulative survival rate, and carried out immunohistochemistry analyses to determine the expression profiles of the p33ING1 protein on the mouse, normal human, and human cancer tissue microarrays.
    Results: Compared with normal tissues, the ING1b mRNA was highly expressed in various types of cancer tissues, including, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers, and was positively correlated with the overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients. In mouse tissues, the subcellular location of p33ING1 was frequently nuclear; however, it was occasionally cytoplasmic or nucleocytoplasmic. There was a positive detection in the neuron body, a part of glial cells, the glandular epithelium of the stomach, intestines, breast, hepatocytes, heart, skeletal muscle cells, the bronchial and alveolar epithelium, and nephric tubules. In human tissues, the p33ING1 protein, apart from its cytoplasmic distribution, was distributed in the nuclei of the tongue, esophagus, stomach, intestine, lung, trachea, skin, appendix, cervix, endometrium, ovary, and breast. p33ING1 immunoreactivity was strongly detected in the stomach, trachea, skin, cervix, and breast, while it was weak in the other tissues. The positive rate of p33ING1 was 41.0% in the tested cancer entities (489/1,194). In general, p33ING1 expression was restricted to only the cytoplasm for all cancers, whereas it was found in the nucleus of renal clear cells, ovarian and colorectal cancers. Among them, p33ING1 was expressed in more than half of squamous cell carcinomas derived from the esophagus and cervix, while it was rarely expressed in hepatocellular (21.0%) and renal clear cell carcinoma (19.4%).
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that p33ING1 might be participated in the repair and regeneration of organs or tissues the repair and regeneration of organs or tissue, and the carcinogenesis of the highly proliferative epithelium.

    Abstract Background: This study clarified the relationship between N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) expression and the clinicopathological features, DNA methylation, prognosis and relevant signal pathways in gastric cancer (GC).
    Methods: NDRG1 expression was examined by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR. The clinical, transcriptome and methylation data of GC was downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and extracted by R software. The overall survival (OS) rate of NDRG1 was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier plotter. The NDRG1-related gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed by GSEA-3.0.
    Results: NDRG1 expression was down-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels, and immunohistochemically correlated with tumor diameter, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis and lymphatic invasion, tissue differentiation at a negative manner. The mRNA expression of NDRG1 was negatively related to its methylation. Kaplan-Meier plotter results indicated that NDRG1 was positively correlated with the prognosis of GC patients. NDRG1 was involved in cancer, Notch, PPAR, ERBB, adherens junction, and tight junction signal pathways.
    Conclusions: In GC, NDRG1 expression was down-regulated, possibly due to DNA methylation. NDRG1 could play a role of tumor suppressor in the tumorigenesis by inhibiting multiple oncogenic signal pathways. The hypo-expression of NDRG1 was positively associated with malignant biological behavior and adverse prognosis in gastric cancer.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become a severe burden on global health due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. However, effective treatments for HCC are limited. The lack of suitable preclinical models may contribute to a major failure of drug development for HCC. Here, we overview several well-established mouse models of HCC, including genetically engineered mice, chemically-induced models, implantation models, and humanized mice. Immunotherapy studies of HCC have been a hot topic. Therefore, we will introduce the application of mouse models of HCC in immunotherapy. This is followed by a discussion of some other models of HCC-related liver diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hepatitis B and C virus infection, and liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Together these provide researchers with a current overview of the mouse models of HCC and assist in the application of appropriate models for their research.

    Abstract Recently accumulated evidence has indicated that the nucleomembrane shuttling of cellular proteins is common, which provides new insight into the subcellular translocation and biological functions of proteins synthesized in the cytoplasm. The present study aimed to clarify the trafficking of proteins between the plasma membrane and nucleus. These proteins primarily consist of transmembrane receptors, membrane adaptor proteins, adhesive proteins, signal proteins and nuclear proteins, which contribute to proliferation, apoptosis, chemoresistance, adhesion, migration and gene expression. The proteins frequently undergo cross‑talk, such as the interaction of transmembrane proteins with signal proteins. The transmembrane proteins undergo endocytosis, infusion into organelles or proteolysis into soluble forms for import into the nucleus, while nuclear proteins interact with membrane proteins or act as receptors. The nucleocytosolic translocation involves export or import through nuclear membrane pores by importin or exportin. Nuclear proteins generally interact with other transcription factors, and then binding to the promoter for gene expression, while membrane proteins are responsible for signal initiation by binding to other membrane and/or adaptor proteins. Protein translocation occurs in a cell‑specific manner and is closely linked to cellular biological events. The present review aimed to improve understanding of cytosolic protein shuttling between the plasma membrane and nucleus and the associated signaling pathways.

    Abstract As a Class II tumor suppressor, ING5 contains nuclear localization signal, plant homeodomain, novel conserved region, and leucine zipper-like domains. ING5 proteins form homodimer into a coil-coil structure, and heterodimers with ING4, histone H3K4me3, histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex, Tip60, Cyclin A1/CDK2, INCA1 and EBNA3C for the transcription of target genes. The acetylated proteins up-regulated by ING5 are preferentially located in nucleus and act as transcription cofactors, chromatin and DNA binding functions, while those down-regulated by ING5 mostly in cytoplasm and contribute to metabolism. ING5 promotes the autoacetylation of HAT p300, p53, histone H3 and H4 for the transcription of downstream genes (Bax, GADD45, p21, p27 and so forth). Transcriptionally, YY1 and SRF up-regulate ING5 mRNA expression by the interaction of YY1-SRF-p53-ING5 complex with ING5 promoter. Translationally, ING5 is targeted by miR-196, miR-196a, miR-196b-5p, miR-193a-3p, miR-27-3p, miR-200b/200a/429, miR-1307, miR-193, miR-222, miR-331-3p, miR-181b, miR-543 and miR-196-b. ING5 suppresses proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth of various cancer cells via the suppression of EGFR/PI3K/Akt, IL-6/STAT3, Akt/NF-κB/NF-κB/MMP-9 or IL-6/CXCL12 pathway. ING5-mediated chemoresistance is closely linked to anti-apoptosis, overexpression of chemoresistant genes, the activation of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB and Wnt/β-catenin signal pathways. Histologically, ING5 abrogation in gastric stem-like and pdx1-positive cells causes gastric dysplasia and cancer, and conditional ING5 knockout in pdx1-positive and gastric chief cells increases MNU-induced gastric carcinogenesis. Intestinal ING5 deletion increases AOM/DSS- induced colorectal carcinogenesis and decreases high-fat-diet weight. The overexpression and nucleocytoplasmic translocation of ING5 are seen during carcinogenesis, and ING5 expression was inversely associated with aggressive behaviors and poor prognosis in a variety of cancers. These findings indicated that ING5 might be used ...

    Abstract Overcoming intrinsic and acquired drug resistance is a major challenge in treating cancer patients because chemoresistance causes recurrence, cancer dissemination and death. This review summarizes numerous molecular aspects of multi-resistance, including transporter pumps, oncogenes (EGFR, PI3K/Akt, Erk and NF-κB), tumor suppressor gene (p53), mitochondrial alteration, DNA repair, autophagy, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cancer stemness, and exosome. The chemoresistance-related proteins are localized to extracellular ligand, membrane receptor, cytosolic signal messenger, and nuclear transcription factors for various events, including proliferation, apoptosis, EMT, autophagy and exosome. Their cross-talk frequently appears, such as the regulatory effects of EGFR-Akt-NF-κB signal pathway on the transcription of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and survivin or EMT-related stemness. It is essential for the realization of the target, individualized and combine therapy to clarify these molecular mechanisms, explore the therapy target, screen chemosensitive population, and determine the efficacy of chemoreagents by cell culture and orthotopic model.
