Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic role of NAA10 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a gene expression and survival analysis based on the human cancer genome atlas database of ccRCC patients (TCGA-KIRC). RESULTS The patients in the TCGA-KIRC (n = 537) were divided into two subgroups: NAA10-low and NAA10-high expression groups. NAA10-high ccRCC exhibited higher T stages (p = 0.002), a higher frequency of distant metastasis (p = 0.018), more advanced AJCC stages (p < 0.001), a lower overall survival time (p = 0.036), and a lower survival rate (p < 0.001). NAA10-high ccRCC was associated with increased activity of non-specific oncogenic pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation (p < 0.001) and cell cycle progression [G2 to M phase transition (p = 0.045) and E2F targets (p < 0.001)]. Additionally, the NAA10-high tumors showed reduced apoptosis via TRIAL pathways (p < 0.001) and increased levels of activity that promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (p = 0.026) or undifferentiation (p = 0.01). In ccRCC, NAA10 expression was found to be a negative prognostic factor in both non-metastatic (p < 0.001) and metastatic tumors (p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS In ccRCC, NAA10 expression was shown to be a negative prognostic factor related to tumor progression rather than tumor initiation, and high NAA10 expression promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition and undifferentiation.

Abstract
Cancer is a major global health problem that disrupts the balance of normal cellular growth and behavior. Mounting evidence has shown that epigenetic modification, specifically N-terminal acetylation, play a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth and function. Acetylation is a co- or post-translational modification to regulate important cellular progresses such as cell proliferation, cell cycle progress, and energy metabolism. Recently, N-acetyltransferases (NATs), enzymes responsible for acetylation, regulate signal transduction pathway in various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer and prostate cancer. In this review, we clarify the regulatory role of NATs in cancer progression, such as cell proliferation, metastasis, cell apoptosis, autophagy, cell cycle arrest and energy metabolism. Furthermore, the mechanism of NATs on cancer remains to be further studied, and few drugs have been developed. This provides us with a new idea that targeting acetylation, especially NAT-mediated acetylation, may be an attractive way for inhibiting cancer progression.

Abstract
Nα-acetyltransferase 10 protein (Naa10p) is known as the catalytic subunit of N-terminal acetyltransferases A (NatA) complex, associating with Naa15p to acetylate N-termini of the human proteome. Recent investigations have unveiled additional functions for Naa10p, encompassing lysine ε-acetylation and acetyltransferase-independent activities. Its pleiotropic roles have been implicated in diverse physiological and pathological contexts. Emerging evidence has implicated Naa10p in cancer progression, demonstrating dual attributes as an oncogene or a tumor suppressor contingent on the cancer type and acetyltransferase activity context. In this comprehensive review, we present a pan-cancer analysis aimed at elucidating the intricacies underlying Naa10p dysregulation in cancer. Our findings propose the potential involvement of c-Myc as a modulatory factor influencing Naa10p expression. Moreover, we provide a consolidated summary of recent advancements in understanding the intricate molecular underpinnings through which Naa10p contributes to cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. Furthermore, we delve into the multifaceted nature of Naa10p's roles in regulating cancer behaviors, potentially attributed to its interactions with a repertoire of partner proteins. Through an exhaustive exploration of Naa10p's functions, spanning its acetylation activity and acetyltransferase-independent functionalities, this review offers novel insights with implications for targeted therapeutic strategies involving this pivotal protein in the realm of cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Genomic DNA damage occurs as an inevitable consequence of exposure to harmful exogenous and endogenous agents. Therefore, the effective sensing and repair of DNA damage are essential for maintaining genomic stability and cellular homeostasis. Inappropriate responses to DNA damage can lead to genomic instability and, ultimately, cancer. Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) are a key regulator of the DNA damage response (DDR), and recent progress in mass spectrometry analysis methods has revealed that a wide range of metabolites can serve as donors for PTMs. In this review, we will summarize how the DDR is regulated by lipid metabolite-associated PTMs, including acetylation, S-succinylation, N-myristoylation, palmitoylation, and crotonylation, and the implications for tumorigenesis. We will also discuss potential novel targets for anti-cancer drug development.

Abstract
The histone deacetylases (HDACs) family of enzymes possess deacylase activity for histone and nonhistone proteins; HDAC11 is the latest discovered HDAC and the only member of class IV. Besides its shared HDAC family catalytical activity, recent studies underline HDAC11 as a multifaceted enzyme with a very efficient long-chain fatty acid deacylase activity, which has open a whole new field of action for this protein. Here, we summarize the importance of HDAC11 in a vast array of cellular pathways, which has been recently highlighted by discoveries about its subcellular localization, biochemical features, and its regulation by microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs, as well as its new targets and interactors. Additionally, we discuss the recent work showing the consequences of HDAC11 dysregulation in brain, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue, and during regeneration in response to kidney, skeletal muscle, and vascular injuries, underscoring HDAC11 as an emerging hub protein with physiological functions that are much more extensive than previously thought, and with important implications in human diseases.

Abstract
ATAD2 has recently been shown to promote stomach cancer. However, nothing is known about the functional network of ATAD2 in stomach carcinogenesis. This study illustrates the oncogenic potential of ATAD2 and the participation of its ATPase and bromodomain in stomach malignancy. Expression of ATAD2 in stomach cancer is analyzed by in silico and in vitro techniques including western blot and immunofluorescence microscopy of stomach cancer cells (SCCs) and tissues. The oncogenic potential of ATAD2 is examined thoroughly using genetic alterations, driver gene prediction, survival analysis, identification of interacting partners, and analysis of canonical pathways. To understand the protein-protein interactions (PPI) at residue level, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (1200 ns) are performed. Enhanced expression of ATAD2 is observed in H. pylori-infected SCCs, patient biopsy tissues, and all stages and grades of stomach cancer. High expression of ATAD2 is found to be negatively correlated with the survival of stomach cancer patients. ATAD2 is a cancer driver gene with 37 mutational sites and a predictable factor for stomach cancer prognosis with high accuracy. The top canonical pathways of ATAD2 indicate its participation in stomach malignancy. The ATAD2-PPI in stomach cancer identify top-ranked partners; ESR1, SUMO2, SPTN2, and MYC show preference for the bromodomain whereas NCOA3 and HDA11 have preference for the ATPase domain of ATAD2. The oncogenic characterization of ATAD2 provides strong evidence to consider ATAD2 as a stomach cancer biomarker. These studies offer an insight for the first time into the ATAD2-PPI interface presenting a novel target for cancer therapeutics. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
N-α-acetyltransferase 10 (NAA10) is an acetyltransferase that acetylates both N-terminal amino acid and internal lysine residues of proteins. NAA10 is a crucial player to regulate cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, and autophagy. Recently, mounting evidence presented the overexpression of NAA10 in various types of cancer, including liver, bone, lung, breast, colon, and prostate cancers, and demonstrated a correlation of overexpressed NAA10 with vascular invasion and metastasis, thereby affecting overall survival rates of cancer patients and recurrence of diseases. This evidence all points NAA10 toward a promising biomarker for cancer prognosis. Here we summarize the current knowledge regarding the biological functions of NAA10 in cancer progression and provide the potential usage of NAA10 as a prognostic marker for cancer progression.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is a posttranslational modification that occurs on thousands of human proteins, most of which are cytoplasmic. Acetylated proteins are involved in numerous cellular processes and human diseases. Therefore, how the acetylation/deacetylation cycle is regulated is an important question. Eleven metal-dependent lysine deacetylases (KDACs) have been identified in human cells. These enzymes, along with the sirtuins, are collectively responsible for reversing lysine acetylation. Despite several large-scale studies which have characterized the acetylome, relatively few of the specific acetylated residues have been matched to a proposed KDAC for deacetylation. To understand the function of lysine acetylation, and its association with diseases, specific KDAC-substrate pairs must be identified. Identifying specific substrates of a KDAC is complicated both by the complexity of assaying relevant activity and by the non-catalytic interactions of KDACs with cellular proteins. Here, we discuss in vitro and cell-based experimental strategies used to identify KDAC-substrate pairs and evaluate each for the purpose of directly identifying non-histone substrates of metal-dependent KDACs. We propose criteria for a combination of reproducible experimental approaches that are necessary to establish a direct enzymatic relationship. This critical analysis of the literature identifies 108 proposed non-histone substrate-KDAC pairs for which direct experimental evidence has been reported. Of these, five pairs can be considered well-established, while another thirteen pairs have both cell-based and in vitro evidence but lack independent replication and/or sufficient cell-based evidence. We present a path forward for evaluating the remaining substrate leads and reliably identifying novel KDAC substrates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Histone deacetylase 11 (HDAC11) is a class Ⅳ member of histone deacetylase family, and its role in regulating cancer cell invasion and metastasis remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the role of HDAC11 in regulating the biological behaviors of basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) cells. METHODS We analyzed the expression of HDAC11 based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The effects of HDAC11 on the cell invasion and metastasis were examined using Transwell assay and in a mouse model. The interaction between HDAC11 and Twist was detected with immunoprecipitation. We identified HAS2 as a target gene of Twist using promoter luciferase assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS HDAC11 was lowly expressed in BLBC cells. HDAC11 overexpression suppressed BLBC cell invasion in vitro and their metastasis in nude mice. Mechanistically, HDAC11 directly interacted with Twist protein, antagonized its pro-invasive function and repressed Twist-induced HAS2 gene transcription. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that HDAC11 acts as a negative modulator of invasion and metastasis of BLBC cells.

Abstract
Recent studies of N-terminal acetylation have identified new N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) and expanded the known functions of these enzymes beyond their roles as ribosome-associated co-translational modifiers. For instance, the identification of Golgi- and chloroplast-associated NATs shows that acetylation of N termini also happens post-translationally. In addition, we now appreciate that some NATs are highly specific; for example, a dedicated NAT responsible for post-translational N-terminal acetylation of actin was recently revealed. Other studies have extended NAT function beyond Nt acetylation, including functions as lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and non-catalytic roles. Finally, emerging studies emphasize the physiological relevance of N-terminal acetylation, including roles in calorie-restriction-induced longevity and pathological α-synuclein aggregation in Parkinson's disease. Combined, the NATs rise as multifunctional proteins, and N-terminal acetylation is gaining recognition as a major cellular regulator.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men. Androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in prostate development and homeostasis. Dysregulation of this pathway activates AR leading to PCa pathogenesis and progression. AR binds testosterone and other male hormones, which then undergoes post-translational modification for AR nuclear translocation and transcriptional activation. AR activation by post-translational modification is thus imperative for PCa cell growth and survival. Identification and understanding of the pathological and mechanistic roles of AR modifications may increase our understanding of AR activation in PCa and provide new therapeutic options. Recently, AR acetylation has been described as an important step for AR activation. Upregulation of several acetyltransferases has been reported to be associated with PCa progression. Herein, we provide a general understanding of AR acetylation, with a special emphasis on ARD1, and potential therapies that may be exploited against the ARD1–AR axis for PCa treatment. Blocking the addition of an acetyl group to androgen receptors by Arrest-defect-1 protein (ARD1) might be an effective strategy for halting prostate cancer progression. High levels of ARD1 are found in many types of cancer and previous studies have shown that it contributes to prostate cancer (PCa) cell proliferation and survival by stimulating androgen receptor activity. Wanguo Liu and colleagues at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, USA, review current knowledge of the regulation and effects of ARD1 on tumor formation. The ARD1-mediated post-translational modification of androgen receptors causes them to move from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where they activate the expression of genes involved in tumor growth. Compounds that inhibit this modification could offer a new treatment option for patients with prostate cancer.

[PMID: 30026053 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2018.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2018] [Revised: 07/06/2018] [Accepted: 07/12/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Due to an increased understanding of molecular biology and the genomics of cancer, new and potent agents have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fight this disease. However, all of these drugs cause severe side effects and resistance inevitably develops, re-activating tumor growth and dissemination. For this reason, patients turn to natural compounds as alternative or complementary treatment options, since it has been found that natural plant products may block, inhibit, or reverse cancer development. The present review focusses on the role of the natural compound sulforaphane (SFN) as an anti-tumor agent in urologic cancer. SFN is a natural compound found in cruciferous vegetables from the Brassicaceae family such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. Several epidemiologic and clinical studies have documented chemopreventive properties of SFN, making it an interesting candidate for additive cancer treatment. SFN shows remarkable anti-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo without exerting toxicity. The review summarizes the current understanding of SFN and provides insights into its molecular mode of action with particular emphasis on epigenetic tumor control.

N-α-acetyltransferase 10 protein promotes metastasis by stabilizing matrix metalloproteinase-2 protein in human osteosarcomas. Cancer Lett 2018; 433:86-98. [PMID: 29960050 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2018.06.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2018] [Revised: 06/21/2018] [Accepted: 06/23/2018] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
N-α-Acetyltransferase 10 protein (Naa10p) mediates N-terminal acetylation of nascent proteins. Oncogenic or tumor suppressive roles of Naa10p were reported in cancers. Here, we report an oncogenic role of Naa10p in promoting metastasis of osteosarcomas. Higher NAA10 transcripts were observed in metastatic osteosarcoma tissues compared to non-metastatic tissues and were also correlated with a worse prognosis of patients. Knockdown and overexpression of Naa10p in osteosarcoma cells respectively led to decreased and increased cell migratory/invasive abilities. Re-expression of Naa10p, but not an enzymatically inactive mutant, relieved suppression of the invasive ability in vitro and metastasis in vivo imposed by Naa10p-knockdown. According to protease array screening, we identified that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 was responsible for the Naa10p-induced invasive phenotype. Naa10p was directly associated with MMP-2 protein through its acetyltransferase domain and maintained MMP-2 protein stability via NatA complex activity. MMP-2 expression levels were also significantly correlated with Naa10p levels in osteosarcoma tissues. These results reveal a novel function of Naa10p in the regulation of cell invasiveness by preventing MMP-2 protein degradation that is crucial during osteosarcoma metastasis.

Abstract
In the past few years, basic and clinical scientists have witnessed landmark achievements in many research projects, such as those conducted by the US National Institutes of Health Roadmap Epigenomics Mapping Consortium, the International Human Epigenome Consortium, The Cancer Genome Atlas Network and the International Cancer Genome Consortium, which have provided near-complete resolution of epigenetic landscape in different diseases. Furthermore, genome sequencing of tumors has provided compelling evidence related to frequent existence of mutations in readers, erasers and writers of epigenome in different cancers. Histone acetylation is an intricate mechanism modulated by two opposing sets of enzymes and deeply studied as a key biological phenomenon in 1964 by Vincent Allfrey and colleagues. The research group suggested that this protein modification contributed substantially in transcriptional regulation. Subsequently, histone deacetylases (HDACs), histone acetyltransferases and acetyl-Lys-binding proteins were identified as transcriptional mediators, which further deepened our comprehension regarding biochemical modifications. Overwhelmingly increasing high-impact research is improving our understanding of this molecularly controlled mechanism; moreover, quantification and identification of lysine acetylation by mass spectrometry has added new layers of information. We partition this multi-component review into how both activity and expression of HDAC are targeted using natural agents. We also set spotlight on how oncogenic fusion proteins tactfully utilize HDAC-associated nano-machinery to modulate expression of different genes and how HDAC inhibitors regulate TRAIL-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. HDAC inhibitors have been reported to upregulate expression of TRAIL receptors and protect TRAIL from proteasomal degradation. Deeper understanding of HDAC biology will be useful for stratification and selection of patients who are responders, non-responders and poor-responders for HDACi therapy, and for the rational design of combination studies using HDACi.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle cells represents a hallmark event in vascular injury. The underlying mechanism is not completely sorted out. We investigated the involvement of angiogenic factor with G patch and FHA domains 1 (Aggf1) in vascular injury focusing on the transcriptional regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell signature genes. APPROACH AND RESULTS We report here that Aggf1 expression was downregulated in several different cell models of phenotypic modulation in vitro and in the vessels after carotid artery ligation in mice. Adenovirus-mediated Aggf1 overexpression dampened vascular injury and normalized vascular smooth muscle cell signature gene expression. Mechanistically, Aggf1 interacted with myocardin and was imperative for the formation of a serum response factor-myocardin complex on gene promoters. In response to injurious stimuli, kruppel-like factor 4 was recruited to the Aggf1 promoter and enlisted histone deacetylase 11 to repress Aggf1 transcription. In accordance, depletion of kruppel-like factor 4 or histone deacetylase 11 restored Aggf1 expression and abrogated vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic modulation. Finally, treatment of a histone deacetylase 11 inhibitor attenuated vascular injury in mice. CONCLUSIONS Therefore, we have unveiled a previously unrecognized role for Aggf1 in regulating vascular injury.
