    Abstract Sialic acids have been implicated in cancer initiation, progression, and immune evasion in diverse human malignancies. Sialylation of terminal glycans on cell surface and secreted glycoproteins is a long-recognized feature of cancer cells. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy has tremendously improved the outcomes of patients with various cancers. However, available immunotherapy approaches have had limited efficacy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Sialic acid modified glycoproteins in prostate cancers and their interaction with Siglec receptors on tumor infiltrating immune cells might underlie immunosuppressive signaling in prostate cancer. Here, we summarize the function of sialic acids and relevant glycosynthetic enzymes in cancer initiation and progression. We also discuss the possible uses of sialic acids as biomarkers in prostate cancer and the potential methods for targeting Siglec-sialic acid interactions for prostate cancer treatment.

    Abstract The myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) is a membrane-associated protein kinase C (PKC) substrate ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells. MARCKS plays important roles in multiple cellular processes, including cell adhesion and motility, mucin secretion, exocytosis, and inflammatory response. Aberrant MARCKS signaling has been observed in the development and progression of multiple cancer types. In addition, MARCKS facilitates cancer metastasis through modulating cancer cell migration and invasion. Moreover, MARCKS contributes to treatment resistance, likely by promoting cancer stem cell renewal as well as immunosuppression. In this review, we describe MARCKS protein structure, cellular localization, and biological functions. We then discuss the role of MARCKS in cancer metastasis as well as its mechanisms of action in solid tumors. Finally, we review recent advances in targeting MARCKS as a new therapeutic strategy in cancer management.

    Abstract Increased expression of NUSAP1 has been identified as a robust prognostic biomarker in prostate cancer and other malignancies. We have previously shown that NUSAP1 is positively regulated by E2F1 and promotes cancer invasion and metastasis. To further understand the biological function of NUSAP1, we used affinity purification and mass spectrometry proteomic analysis to identify NUSAP1 interactors. We identified 85 unique proteins in the NUSAP1 interactome, including ILF2, DHX9, and other RNA-binding proteins. Using proteomic approaches, we uncovered a function for NUSAP1 in maintaining R-loops and in DNA damage response through its interaction with ILF2. Co-immunoprecipitation and colocalization using confocal microscopy verified the interactions of NUSAP1 with ILF2 and DHX9, and RNA/DNA hybrids. We showed that the microtubule and charged helical domains of NUSAP1 were necessary for the protein-protein interactions. Depletion of ILF2 alone further increased camptothecin-induced R-loop accumulation and DNA damage, and NUSAP1 depletion abolished this effect. In human prostate adenocarcinoma,

    Abstract Cystic kidney disease is the progressive development of multiple fluid-filled cysts that may severely compromise kidney functions and lead to renal failure. TNS1 (tensin-1) knockout mice develop cystic kidneys and die from renal failure. Here, we have established TNS1-knockout MDCK cells and applied 3D culture system to investigate the mechanism leading to cyst formation. Unlike wild-type MDCK cells, which form cysts with a single lumen, TNS1-knockout cysts contain multiple lumens and upregulated Mek/Erk activities. The multiple lumen phenotype and Mek/Erk hyperactivities are rescued by re-expression of wild-type TNS1 but not the TNS1 mutant lacking a fragment essential for its cell-cell junction localization. Furthermore, Mek inhibitor treatments restore the multiple lumens back to single lumen cysts. Mek/Erk hyperactivities are also detected in TNS1-knockout mouse kidneys. Treatment with the Mek inhibitor trametinib significantly reduces the levels of interstitial infiltrates, fibrosis and dilated tubules in TNS1-knockout kidneys. These studies establish a critical role of subcellular localization of TNS1 in suppressing Mek/Erk signaling and maintaining lumenogenesis, and provide potential therapeutic strategies by targeting the Mek/Erk pathway for cystic kidney diseases.

    Abstract Background: Loss of AZGP1 expression is a biomarker associated with progression to castration resistance, development of metastasis, and poor disease-specific survival in prostate cancer. However, high expression of AZGP1 cells in prostate cancer has been reported to increase proliferation and invasion. The exact role of AZGP1 in prostate cancer progression remains elusive.
    Method: AZGP1 knockout and overexpressing prostate cancer cells were generated using a lentiviral system. The effects of AZGP1 under- or over-expression in prostate cancer cells were evaluated by in vitro cell proliferation, migration, and invasion assays. Heterozygous AZGP1
    Result: Neither the knockout nor overexpression of AZGP1 exhibited significant effects on prostate cancer cell proliferation, clonal growth, migration, or invasion in vitro. The prostates of AZGP1
    Conclusion: AZGP1 is a negative regulator of angiogenesis, such that loss of AZGP1 promotes angiogenesis in prostate cancer. AZGP1 likely exerts heterotypical effects on cells in the tumor microenvironment, such as stromal and endothelial cells. This study sheds light on the anti-angiogenic characteristics of AZGP1 in the prostate and provides a rationale to target AZGP1 to inhibit prostate cancer progression.

    Abstract The root of Polygonum multiflorum (also called He-Shou-Wu in Chinese) is a common herb and medicinal food in Asia used for its anti-aging properties. Our study investigated the therapeutic potential of an extract of the root of Polygonum multiflorum (PME) in allergic asthma by using a mouse model. Feeding of 0.5 and 1 mg/mouse PME inhibited ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma symptoms, including airway inflammation, mucus production, and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR), in a dose-dependent manner. To discern PME's mechanism of action, we examined the profile and cytokine production of inflammatory cells in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF). We found that eosinophils, the main inflammatory cell infiltrate in the lung of OVA-immunized mice, significantly decreased after PME treatment. Th2 cytokine levels, including interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13, eotaxin, and the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-[Formula: see text], decreased in PME-treated mice. Elevated mRNA expression of Th2 transcription factor GATA-3 in the lung tissue was also inhibited after oral feeding of PME in OVA-immunized mice. Thus, we conclude that PME produces anti-asthma activity through the inhibition of Th2 cell activation.
