Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein (ARL) family members (ARLs) may regulate the malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. However, relevant studies on ARLs in breast cancer (BC) are limited. In this research, the expression profiles, genetic variations, and prognostic values of ARLs in BC have been systematically analyzed for the first time using various databases. We find that ARLs are significantly dysregulated in BC according to the TCGA database, which may result from DNA methylation and copy number alteration. Prognostic analysis suggests that ARL11 is the most significant prognostic indicator for BC, and higher ARL11 predicts worse clinical outcomes for BC patients. Further functional enrichment analysis demonstrates that ARL11 enhances the immunosuppression in BC, and dysregulation of ARL11 is significantly associated with immune infiltration in various types of cancer. Our results demonstrate the potential of ARL11 as an immune therapeutic target for BC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Apoptosis deregulation have been associated to tumorigenesis process and was highlighted as a prominent hallmark of cancer. Several mutations have been reported in several forms of Blood cancer. However, it has never been investigated in familial aggregations of hematological malignancies. METHODS In this study, we performed a mutational analysis by sequencing the entire coding regions in four key apoptotic genes FAS, FASLG, CASP8 and CASP10 in 92 independent families belonging to French and Tunisian populations and diagnosed with several forms of familial hematological malignancies. RESULTS We report 15 genetic variations among which 7 were previously reported in several form of cancers and have a potential effect on gene expression. Particularly, the CASP8 variants p.Asp302His and p.Lys337Lys were detected in 15% and 10% of our group of patients respectively and were previously reported in association to breast cancer and to breast cancer susceptibility. DISCUSSION In this study, we do not report the underlining deleterious mutations in familial hematological malignancies, but we describe some variants with potential risk of developing blood cancer. To gain further insights on the association between apoptosis pathway deregulation and familial hematological malignancies, more apoptotic genes should be investigated.

Abstract
Genetic predisposition has been always noted in the context of familial hematological malignancies. Epidemiological studies have provided evidence consisting of an increased risk to develop blood cancer in relatives diagnosed with the same pathology and characterized by early age at diagnosis and higher severity compared to sporadic forms. With the emergence of new genomic testing approaches, the prevalence of familial aggregations of hematological malignancies seems to be under estimated. The heterogeneity of clinical features explains the wide number of genes' mutations reported to date and the variable penetrance of variants. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of familial hematological malignancies is still not well understood. Identifying the genetic background in familial aggregations provides a valuable tool for prognostic evaluation, personalized treatment and better genetic counseling in high-risk families. Herein, we provide an overview of genes reported in the last few years in association to hematological malignancies including familial form of Hodgkin Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, acute Myeloid Leukemia and acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Onco Targets Ther 2021; 14:2541-2553. [PMID: 33880033 PMCID: PMC8053516 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s282992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Our previous studies demonstrate that ARL4C is the most critical clinical biomarker for gastric cancer (GC) patients among ARL family members (ARLs) and functions as an oncogene in GC. However, its underlying mechanisms in GC need to be further illustrated. In this study, we aim to explore the upstream and downstream molecular mechanisms of ARL4C in GC cells. Methods The genetic alteration of ARL4C in GC is analyzed by cBioPortal database. Potential ARL4C-targeted microRNAs (miRs) are predicted by three databases. The high-throughput RNA sequencing is performed to explore the underlying mechanisms of ARL4C in GC cells. The effects of predicted microRNAs on ARL4C, the RNA-sequencing results validation and the biological functions of ARL4C in GC cells are illustrated by in vitro experiments. Results Genetic analyses indicate that ARL4C is significantly upregulated in GC, which is not caused by gene amplification. MicroRNAs prediction shows the high relevance between ARL4C and miR-302 members. Moreover, miR-302c or miR-302d transfection reduces ARL4C protein expression in GC cells. Based on the high-throughput RNA sequencing of ARL4C-knockdown cells, enrichment analyses demonstrate that ARL4C is closely related to cell growth and involved in p53 signaling. Moreover, there are strong gene–gene interactions between ARL4C and genes in p53 signaling, and ARL4C downregulation could inhibit the protein expression of MDM2, a critical gene in p53 pathway. Further functional experiments demonstrate that ARL4C silencing leads to cell cycle arrest and increased cell apoptosis in AGS and MKN45 cells. Conclusion Our data suggest that miR-302c and miR-302d may function as the upstream regulators of ARL4C. And, ARL4C might promote GC cell cycle progression via regulating p53 signaling. Our findings provide novel insights into the key role of ARL4C and the underlying mechanisms in GC progression, thus facilitating the development of ARL4C-targeted therapy.

Abstract
The Adenosine diphosphate-Ribosylation Factor (ARF) family belongs to the RAS superfamily of small GTPases and is involved in a wide variety of physiological processes, such as cell proliferation, motility and differentiation by regulating membrane traffic and associating with the cytoskeleton. Like other members of the RAS superfamily, ARF family proteins are activated by Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEFs) and inactivated by GTPase-Activating Proteins (GAPs). When active, they bind effectors, which mediate downstream functions. Several studies have reported that cancer cells are able to subvert membrane traffic regulators to enhance migration and invasion. Indeed, members of the ARF family, including ARF-Like (ARL) proteins have been implicated in tumorigenesis and progression of several types of cancer. Here, we review the role of ARF family members, their GEFs/GAPs and effectors in tumorigenesis and cancer progression, highlighting the ones that can have a pro-oncogenic behavior or function as tumor suppressors. Moreover, we propose possible mechanisms and approaches to target these proteins, toward the development of novel therapeutic strategies to impair tumor progression.

Abstract
Recently, a growing number of ADP ribosylation factor (ARF) family members has been suggested to be critical in tumorigenesis. However, the effects of most ARF members on lung adenocarcinoma pathogenesis are still not well disclosed yet. In this study, ARF-like GTPase 14 (ARL14) was screened as an important prognostic factor of lung adenocarcinoma from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and validated by our in vitro experiments. It was found that silencing of ARL14 gene inhibited cell proliferation and the abilities of cell migration and invasion, and it also attenuated radiation damage of lung adenocarcinoma cells but had no effect on the proliferation of normal lung cells. Notably, ARL14 siRNA blocked the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/p38 signaling pathway and induced cell cycle arrest in G0 phase, ultimately leading to cell dormancy. Moreover, ARL14 siRNA enhanced the expression of cell death activator DFFA-like effector (CIDEC) that had opposite roles in cell proliferation and migration to ALR14. Collectively, our results suggest that ARL14 has an important role in the pathogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma through CIDEC/ERK/p38 signaling pathway, and thus it could be applied as a new candidate of prognosis indicator and/or therapeutic target of lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
ADP-ribosylation factor-like GTPase 11 (ARL11) is a cancer-predisposing gene that has remained functionally uncharacterized to date. In this study, we report that ARL11 is endogenously expressed in mouse and human macrophages and regulates their activation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Accordingly, depletion of ARL11 impaired both LPS-stimulated pro-inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages and their ability to control intracellular replication of Salmonella. LPS-stimulated activation of extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was substantially compromised in Arl11-silenced macrophages. In contrast, increased expression of ARL11 led to constitutive ERK1/2 phosphorylation, resulting in macrophage exhaustion. Finally, we found that ARL11 forms a complex with phospho-ERK in macrophages within minutes of LPS stimulation. Taken together, our findings establish ARL11 as a novel regulator of ERK signaling in macrophages, required for macrophage activation and immune function.
