Abstract
Translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is a highly conserved multifunctional protein, which participates in many important physiological processes. Recently, the roles of TCTP in cell proliferation and apoptosis, especially its close relationship with various tumors, have attracted widespread attention. In this study, we found that the protein level of TCTP was significantly reduced in acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line NB4 transfected with retinoic acid-induced gene G (RIG-G). The RIG-G was found in our previous work as a key mediator of anti-proliferative activity in retinoid/interferon-related pathways. Here, we tried to further explore the function of TCTP in the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from different levels. Our results showed that inhibiting TCTP expression could attenuate AML cells proliferation and induce apoptosis both in AML cell lines and in xenograft of NOD-SCID mice. In addition, either compared with patients in complete remission or non-leukemia patients, we detected that the expression of TCTP was generally high in the fresh bone marrow of AML patients, suggesting that there was a certain correlation between TCTP and AML disease progression. Taken together, our study revealed the role of TCTP in AML development, and provided a potential target for AML treatment.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24032415. [PMID: 36768735 PMCID: PMC9916839 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24032415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and concomitant reduction in contractile strength plays a central role in frailty syndrome. Age-related neuronal impairments are closely associated with sarcopenia in the elderly, which is characterized by severe muscular atrophy that can considerably lessen the overall quality of life at old age. Mass-spectrometry-based proteomic surveys of senescent human skeletal muscles, as well as animal models of sarcopenia, have decisively improved our understanding of the molecular and cellular consequences of muscular atrophy and associated fiber-type shifting during aging. This review outlines the mass spectrometric identification of proteome-wide changes in atrophying skeletal muscles, with a focus on contractile proteins as potential markers of changes in fiber-type distribution patterns. The observed trend of fast-to-slow transitions in individual human skeletal muscles during the aging process is most likely linked to a preferential susceptibility of fast-twitching muscle fibers to muscular atrophy. Studies with senescent animal models, including mostly aged rodent skeletal muscles, have confirmed fiber-type shifting. The proteomic analysis of fast versus slow isoforms of key contractile proteins, such as myosin heavy chains, myosin light chains, actins, troponins and tropomyosins, suggests them as suitable bioanalytical tools of fiber-type transitions during aging.
