    Abstract Apobec-1 complementation factor (A1CF) functions as an RNA-binding cofactor for APO-BEC1-mediated C-to-U conversion during RNA editing and as a hepatocyte-specific regulator in the alternative pre-mRNA splicing of metabolic enzymes. Its role in RNA editing has not been clearly established. Western blot, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), immunofluorescence (IF), methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays were used to examine the role of A1CF beyond RNA editing in renal carcinoma cells. We demonstrated that A1CF interacts with NKRF, independent of RNA and DNA, without affecting its expression or nuclear translocation; however, it modulates p65(Ser536) phosphorylation and IFN-β levels. Truncation of A1CF or deletion on NKRF revealed that the RRM1 domain of A1CF and the p65 binding motif of NKRF are required for their interaction. Deletion of RRM1 on A1CF abrogates NKRF binding, and the decrease in IFN-β expression and p65(Ser536) phosphorylation was induced by A1CF. Moreover, full-length A1CF, but not an RRM1 deletion mutant, promoted cell proliferation in renal carcinoma cells. Perturbation of A1CF levels in renal carcinoma cells altered anchorage-independent growth and tumor progression in nude mice. Moreover, p65(Ser536) phosphorylation and IFN-β expression were lower, but ki67 was higher in A1CF-overexpressing tumor tissues of a xenograft mouse model. Notably, primary and metastatic samples from renal cancer patients exhibited high A1CF expression, low p65(Ser536) phosphorylation, and decreased IFN-β levels in renal carcinoma tissues compared with the corresponding paracancerous tissues. Our results indicate that A1CF-decreased p65(Ser536) phosphorylation and IFN-β levels may be caused by A1CF competitive binding to the p65-combined site on NKRF and demonstrate the direct binding of A1CF independent of RNA or DNA in signal pathway regulation and tumor promotion in renal carcinoma cells.

    Abstract In recent years, the incidence of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) is increasing, while the better prognosis of patients with Human papillomavirus (HPV) positive oropharyngeal carcinoma has been confirmed in a number of studies. There are a variety of detection methods for HPV-associated oropharyngeal carcinoma. Including P16 immunohistochemistry, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or In situ hybridization (ISH) detection of HPV DNA, HPV RNA, Revers transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT PCR) was used to detect HPV RNA. The better prognosis of patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma has led to the emergence of a large number of degraded treatment trials. The traditional P16 test has certain limitations in the diagnosis of patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma. It is necessary to combine with other detection methods to accurately screen out patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma and better apply to degraded therapy. In this article, we will briefly introduce the trend of HPV-associated oropharyngeal carcinoma, the detection methods and the new progress of degraded treatment trials.

    Abstract Background: The renin-angiotensin system produces a series of biologically active angiotensin (Ang) peptides. These Ang peptides are the major regulators of blood pressure and Na homeostasis, and play a critical role in maintaining cardiovascular and fluid homeostasis. The concentration of Ang peptides in the body is at trace levels, making their detection and quantification a challenge. In this study, a rapid and sensitive analytical method using mass spectrometry coupled with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC/MS) was developed to simultaneously quantify 14 Ang peptides.
    Methods: UHPLC/MS was employed to quantify 14 Ang peptides in mouse and human plasma. An HSS T3 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) with an HSS T3 precolumn and triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer combined with an electrospray ionization source were utilized. Sample pretreatment involved a one-step protein precipitation using methanol. The total analysis time was within 7.5 min and the target peptides were detected in positive ion mode and quantified by selected reaction monitoring mode.
    Results: The method was validated for linearity, detection and quantification limits, precision, stability, recovery and matrix effect. The limits of detection of Ang II, Ang III, Ang-(1-7), Ang-(2-7), Ang-(3-7), Ang-(1-9), bradykinin, Asn
    Conclusions: The method is currently reported to allow the largest number of Ang peptide species to be detected at one time. In addition, the proposed method offers a fast and reliable approach for comprehensive analysis of Ang metabolism in biological samples, facilitating research on the physiological and pathological states of cardiovascular, kidney and respiratory diseases.

    Abstract As local regions in the tumor outstrip their oxygen supply, hypoxia can develop, affecting not only the cancer cells, but also other cells in the microenvironment, including cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Hypoxia is also not necessarily stable over time, and can fluctuate or oscillate. Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 is the master regulator of cellular response to hypoxia, and can also exhibit oscillations in its activity. To understand how stable, and fluctuating hypoxia influence breast CAFs, we measured changes in gene expression in CAFs in normoxia, hypoxia, and oscillatory hypoxia, as well as measured change in their capacity to resist, or assist breast cancer invasion. We show that hypoxia has a profound effect on breast CAFs causing activation of key pathways associated with fibroblast activation, but reduce myofibroblast activation and traction force generation. We also found that oscillatory hypoxia, while expectedly resulted in a "sub-hypoxic" response in gene expression, it resulted in specific activation of pathways associated with actin polymerization and actomyosin maturation. Using traction force microscopy, and a nanopatterned stromal invasion assay, we show that oscillatory hypoxia increases contractile force generation vs stable hypoxia, and increases heterogeneity in force generation response, while also additively enhancing invasibility of CAFs to MDA-MB-231 invasion. Our data show that stable and unstable hypoxia can regulate many mechnobiological characteristics of CAFs, and can contribute to transformation of CAFs to assist cancer dissemination and onset of metastasis.

    Abstract Hypoxia is one of the key factors in the tumor microenvironment regulating nearly all steps in the metastatic cascade in many cancers, including in breast cancer. The hypoxic regions can however be dynamic with the availability of oxygen fluctuating or oscillating. The canonical response to hypoxia is relayed by transcription factor HIF-1, which is stabilized in hypoxia and acts as the master regulator of a large number of downstream genes. However, HIF-1 transcriptional activity can also fluctuate in stable hypoxia by lactate mediated non-canonical degradation of HIF-1. Our understanding of how oscillatory hypoxia or HIF-1 activity specifically influence cancer malignancy is very limited. Here, using MDA-MB-231 cells as a model of triple negative breast cancer characterized by severe hypoxia, we measured the gene expression changes induced by oscillatory hypoxia. We found that oscillatory hypoxia can specifically regulate gene expression differently, and at times opposite to stable hypoxia. Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) RNAseq data of human cancer samples, we show that the oscillatory specific gene expression signature in MDA-MB-231 is enriched in most human cancers, and prognosticate low survival in breast cancer patients. In particular, we found that oscillatory hypoxia, unlike stable hypoxia, induces unfolded protein folding response in cells resulting in gene expression predicting reduced survival.

    Abstract Tumor hypoxia is a common microenvironmental factor in breast cancers, resulting in stabilization of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1), the master regulator of hypoxic response in cells. Metabolic adaptation by HIF-1 results in inhibition of citric acid cycle, causing accumulation of lactate in large concentrations in hypoxic cancers. Lactate can therefore serve as a secondary microenvironmental factor influencing cellular response to hypoxia. Presence of lactate can alter the hypoxic response of breast cancers in many ways, sometimes in opposite manners. Lactate stabilizes HIF-1 in oxidative condition, as well as destabilizes HIF-1 in hypoxia, increases cellular acidification, and mitigates HIF-1-driven inhibition of cellular respiration. We therefore tested the effect of lactate in MDA-MB-231 under hypoxia, finding that lactate can activate pathways associated with DNA replication, and cell cycling, as well as tissue morphogenesis associated with invasive processes. Using a bioengineered nano-patterned stromal invasion assay, we also confirmed that high lactate and induced HIF-1α gene overexpression can synergistically promote MDA-MB-231 dissemination and stromal trespass. Furthermore, using The Cancer Genome Atlas, we also surprisingly found that lactate in hypoxia promotes gene expression signatures prognosticating low survival in breast cancer patients. Our work documents that lactate accumulation contributes to increased heterogeneity in breast cancer gene expression promoting cancer growth and reducing patient survival.
