Abstract
Malignant tumor is still a major problem worldwide. During tumorigenesis or tumor development, tumor suppressor p53-binding protein 2 (TP53BP2), also known as apoptosis stimulating protein 2 of p53 (ASPP2), plays a critical role in p53 dependent and independent manner. Expression of TP53BP2 is highly correlated with the prognosis and survival rate of malignant tumor patients. TP53BP2 can interact with p53, NF-κB p65, Bcl-2, HCV core protein, PP1, YAP, CagA, RAS, PAR3, and other proteins to regulate cell function. Moreover, TP53BP2 can also regulate the proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, migration, EMT and drug resistance of tumor cells through downstream signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, RAS/MAPK, mevalonate, TGF-β1, PI3K/AKT, aPKC-ι/GLI1 and autophagy pathways. As a potential therapeutic target, TP53BP2 has been attracted more attention. We review the role of TP53BP2 in tumorigenesis or tumor development and the signal pathway involved in TP53BP2, which may provide more deep insight and strategies for tumor treatment.

Abstract
A key step in the activation of canonical Wnt signaling is the interaction between β-catenin and Tcf/Lefs that forms the transcription activation complex and facilitates the expression of target genes. Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A3 (EIF4A3) is an ATP-dependent DEAD box-family RNA helicase and acts as a core subunit of the exon junction complex (EJC) to control a series of RNA post-transcriptional processes. In this study, we uncover that EIF4A3 functions as a Wnt inhibitor by interfering with the formation of β-catenin/Tcf transcription activation complex. As Wnt stimulation increases, accumulated β-catenin displaces EIF4A3 from a transcriptional complex with Tcf/Lef, allowing the active complex to facilitate the expression of target genes. In zebrafish embryos, eif4a3 depletion inhibited the development of the dorsal organizer and pattern formation of the anterior neuroectoderm by increasing Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Conversely, overexpression of eif4a3 decreased Wnt/β-catenin signaling and inhibited the formation of the dorsal organizer before gastrulation. Our results reveal previously unreported roles of EIF4A3 in the inhibition of Wnt signaling and the regulation of embryonic development in zebrafish.

Kamei H. Oxygen and embryonic growth: the role of insulin-like growth factor signaling. Gen Comp Endocrinol 2020; 294:113473.

Abstract
Oxygen is indispensable for the efficient release of chemical energy from nutrient molecules in cells. Therefore, the local oxygen tension is one of the most critical factors affecting physiological processes. In most viviparous species, many pathological conditions result in abnormal oxygen tension in the uterus, which modifies the growth and development of the fetus. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF/Igf) is one of the most important hormones for the regulation of somatic growth in animals. Changes in oxygen levels modulate the activity of the IGF/Igf signaling system, which in turn regulates the embryonic growth rate. In general, there are serious difficulties associated with monitoring and studying rodent embryos in utero. The zebrafish is a convenient experimental model to study the relationship between embryonic growth and environmental conditions. Most importantly, the fish model makes it possible to rapidly evaluate embryonic growth and development under entirely controlled environments without interfering with the mother organism. In this review, firstly an overview is given of the fluctuation of environmental oxygen, the IGF-system, and the advantages of the zebrafish model for studying embryonic growth. Then, the relationships of dynamic environmental oxygen and embryonic growth rate are outlined with a specific focus on the changes in the IGF/Igf-system in the zebrafish model. This review will shed light on the fine-tuning mechanisms of the embryonic IGF/Igf-system under different oxygen levels, including constant normoxia, hypoxia, and re-oxygenation.

Abstract
Gabapentin (GPT) has become an emerging contaminant in aquatic environments due to its wide application in medical treatment all over the world. In this study, embryos of zebrafish were exposed to gabapentin at realistically environmental concentrations, 0.1 μg/L and 10 μg/L, so as to evaluate the ecotoxicity of this emergent contaminant. The transcriptomics profiling of deep sequencing was employed to illustrate the mechanisms. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo were exposed to GPT from 12 hpf to 96 hpf resulting in 136 and 750 genes differentially expressed, respectively. The results of gene ontology (GO) analysis and the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis illustrated that a large amount of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were involved in the antioxidant system, the immune system and the nervous system. RT-qPCR was applied to validate the results of RNA-seq, which provided direct evidence that the selected genes involved in those systems mentioned above were all down-regulated. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), lysozyme (LZM) and the content of C-reactive protein (CRP) were decreased at the end of exposure, which is consistent with the transcriptomics results. The overall results of this study demonstrate that GPT simultaneously affects various vital functionalities of zebrafish at early developmental stage, even at environmentally relevant concentrations.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has become a common disorder with a high risk of morbidity and mortality, which remains major medical problem without reliable and effective therapeutic intervention. Apoptosis-stimulating protein two of p53 (ASPP2) is a proapoptotic member that belongs to p53 binding protein family, which plays a key role in regulating apoptosis and cell growth. However, the role of ASPP2 in AKI has not been reported. To explore the role of ASPP2 in the progression of AKI, we prepared an AKI mouse model induced by ischaemia reperfusion (I/R) in wild-type (ASPP2+/+ ) mice and ASPP2 haploinsufficient (ASPP2+/- ) mice. The expression profile of ASPP2 were examined in wild-type mice. The renal injury, inflammation response, cellular apoptosis and autophagic pathway was assessed in ASPP2+/+ and ASPP2+/- mice. The renal injury, inflammation response and cellular apoptosis was analysed in ASPP2+/+ and ASPP2+/- mice treated with 3-methyladenine or vehicle. The expression profile of ASPP2 showed an increase at the early stage while a decrease at the late stage during renal injury. Compared with ASPP2+/+ mice, ASPP2 deficiency protected mice against renal injury induced by I/R, which mainly exhibited in slighter histologic changes, lower levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine, and less apoptosis as well as inflammatory response. Furthermore, ASPP2 deficiency enhanced autophagic activity reflecting in the light chain 3-II conversion and p62 degradation, while the inhibition of autophagy reversed the protective effect of ASPP2 deficiency on AKI. These data suggest that downregulation of ASPP2 can ameliorate AKI induced by I/R through activating autophagy, which may provide a novel therapeutic strage for AKI.

Abstract
The phenotype gap is a challenge for genetically dissecting redundant endocrine signaling pathways, such as the six isoforms in the insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family. Although overexpressed IGFBPs can inhibit or potentiate IGF actions or have IGF-independent actions, mutant mice lacking IGFBP-encoding genes do not exhibit major phenotypes. We found that although zebrafish deficient in igfbp5a did not show overt phenotypes when raised in Ca2+-rich solutions, they died prematurely in low Ca2+ conditions. A group of epithelial cells expressing igfbp5a take up Ca2+ and proliferate under low Ca2+ conditions because of activation of IGF signaling. Deletion of igfbp5a blunted low Ca2+ stress-induced IGF signaling and impaired adaptive proliferation. Reintroducing zebrafish Igfbp5a, but not its ligand binding-deficient mutant, restored adaptive proliferation. Similarly, adaptive proliferation was restored in zebrafish lacking igfbp5a by expression of human IGFBP5, but not two cancer-associated IGFBP5 mutants. Knockdown of IGFBP5 in human colon carcinoma cells resulted in reduced IGF-stimulated cell proliferation. These results reveal a conserved mechanism by which a locally expressed Igfbp regulates organismal Ca2+ homeostasis and survival by activating IGF signaling in epithelial cells and promoting their proliferation in Ca2+-deficient states. These findings underscore the importance of physiological context when analyzing loss-of-function phenotypes of endocrine factors.

Abstract
ASPP2 is a tumor suppressor that works, at least in part, through enhancing p53-dependent apoptosis. We now describe a new ASPP2 isoform, ΔN-ASPP2, generated from an internal transcription start site that encodes an N-terminally truncated protein missing a predicted 254 amino acids. ΔN-ASPP2 suppresses p53 target gene transactivation, promoter occupancy, and endogenous p53 target gene expression in response to DNA damage. Moreover, ΔN-ASPP2 promotes progression through the cell cycle, as well as resistance to genotoxic stress-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis. Additionally, we found that ΔN-ASPP2 expression is increased in human breast tumors as compared to adjacent normal breast tissue; in contrast, ASPP2 is suppressed in the majority of these breast tumors. Together, our results provide insight into how this new ASPP2 isoform may play a role in regulating the ASPP2-p53 axis.

Abstract
The ASPP (apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53) protein family plays very key roles in apoptosis regulation, in both p53-dependent and p53-independent pathways. However, the ASPP homologous gene has not been identified in amphioxus to date. Here, we identified and characterized an ASPP gene from Branchiostoma belcheri (designed as AmphiASPP) and extensively studied its evolution and roles involved in innate immunity. The results showed that the amphioxus genome has an ASPP homolog gene with an ORF of 3285 bp, encoding 1094 amino acids which contains ANK repeats and SK3 domain. The evolutionary analyses indicated that the members of ASPP protein family might be present in a common ancestor of Nematostella vectensis and underwent positive selective in the evolutionary history. In addition, the amphioxus ASPP gene was ubiquitously and differentially expressed in five investigated tissues, and the amphioxus ASPP gene was involved in the innate immune response of LPS and LTA stimulation. Finally, bioinformatic analyses displayed that amphioxus ASPP protein could interact with REL protein by conserved binding sites compared with human ASPP2 protein, which seemed to further suggest that the amphioxus ASPP protein involve in innate immunity through NF-кB signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings provided an insight into the evolution and innate immunity function of the ASPP family.
