Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics Analysis Unveils PTPRS Inhibits Proliferation and Inflammatory Response of Keratinocytes in Psoriasis. Inflammation 2024:10.1007/s10753-024-02044-z. [PMID: 38739342 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-024-02044-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we used data-independent acquisition-mass spectrometry (DIA-MS) to analyze the serum proteome in psoriasis vulgaris (PsO). The serum proteomes of seven healthy controls and eight patients with PsO were analyzed using DIA-MS. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was used to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) that were closely related to PsO. Hub proteins of PsO were also identified. The Proteomics Drug Atlas 2023 was used to predict candidate hub protein drugs. To confirm the expression of the candidate factor, protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor S (PTPRS), in psoriatic lesions and the psoriatic keratinocyte model, immunohistochemical staining, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting were performed. A total of 129 DEPs were found to be closely related to PsO. The hub proteins for PsO were PVRL1, FGFR1, PTPRS, CDH2, CDH1, MCAM, and THY1. Five candidate hub protein drugs were identified: encorafenib, leupeptin, fedratinib, UNC 0631, and SCH 530348. PTPRS was identified as a common pharmacological target for these five drugs. PTPRS knockdown in keratinocytes promoted the proliferation and expression of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-23A, TNF-α, MMP9, CXCL8, and S100A9. PTPRS expression was decreased in PsO, and PTPRS negatively regulated PsO. PTPRS may be involved in PsO pathogenesis through the inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and inflammatory responses and is a potential treatment target for PsO.

Ding Y, Wang X, Lu S, Lai A, Xie B, He X, Liu Q. BCAT1, as a prognostic factor for HCC, can promote the development of liver cancer through activation of the AKT signaling pathway and EMT. J Mol Histol 2023; 54:25-39.

Abstract
More and more studies have shown that Branched chain amino acid transaminase 1 (BCAT1) is involved in the occurrence and development of a variety of tumors. However, the mechanism of its occurrence and development in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated the relationship between BCAT1 and AKT signaling pathway, as well as EMT, and the clinical significance of BCAT1 by using BCAT1 expression in 5 cell lines and 113 liver cancer and non-liver cancer tissue samples. The results showed that the expression of AKT was positively correlated with BCAT1 in HCC tissues, and BCAT1 could promote the progression of HCC cells through the AKT signaling pathway. Clinical analysis and Bioinformatics technology analysis revealed that BCAT1 was correlated with poor prognosis, and BCAT1 expression in the HCC tissues was evidently correlated with tumor number, vascular invasion, Edmondson grade and TNM stage (P < 0.05). In vitro studies showed that BCAT1 increased the invasion and migration of in MHCC-97H cells a d Huh7 cells. By inhibiting the expression of the BCAT1 gene, we detected the corresponding changes in the expression levels of Twist, E-cadherin and Vimentin, confirming that BCAT1 may promote the invasion and migration of HCC cells through epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). Overall, BCAT1 can activate AKT signaling pathway and EMT to promote the development and metastasis of HCC cells. this study may provide new ideas and directions for cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Knockdown of NCOR2 Inhibits Cell Proliferation via BDNF/TrkB/ERK in NF1-Derived MPNSTs. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14235798. [PMID: 36497280 PMCID: PMC9738545 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14235798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are aggressive Schwann cell-derived sarcomas with dismal prognoses. Previous studies have shown that nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) plays a vital role in neurodevelopment and in various tumours. However, the impact of NCOR2 on the progression of MPNST remains unclear. (2) Methods: by GEO database, MPNST tissue microarray, and NF1-related tumour tissues and cell lines were used to explore NCOR2 expression level in the MPNSTs. The role and mechanism of NCOR2 in NF1-derived MPNSTs were explored by experiments in vivo and in vitro and by transcriptome high-throughput sequencing. (3) Results: NCOR2 expression is significantly elevated in NF1-derived MPNSTs and is associated with patient 10-year survival time. Knockdown of NCOR2 suppressed NF1-derived MPNST cell proliferation by blocking the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, decreased NCOR2 expression could down-regulate MAPK signal activity through the BDNF/TrkB pathway. (4) Conclusions: our findings demonstrated that NCOR2 expression is significantly elevated in NF1-derived MPNSTs. NCOR2 knockdown can inhibit NF1-derived MPNST cell proliferation by weakened BDNF/TrkB/ERK signalling. Targeting NF1-derived MPNSTs with TrkB inhibitors, or in combination with ERK inhibitors, may be a novel therapeutic strategy for clinical trials.

High expression of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor S (PTPRS) is an independent prognostic marker for cholangiocarcinoma. Front Public Health 2022; 10:835914.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive tumor of the bile duct with a high rate of mortality. Lymph node metastasis is an important factor facilitating the progression of CCA. A reliable biomarker for diagnosis, progression status, or prognosis of CCA is still lacking. To identify a novel and reliable biomarker for diagnosis/prognosis of CCA, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in combination with bioinformatics analysis were applied for the representative serum samples of patients with CCA. The proteome results showed that protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor S (PTPRS) had the highest potential candidate. Then, a dot blot assay was used to measure the level of serum PTPRS in patients with CCA (n = 80), benign biliary disease patients (BBD; n = 39), and healthy controls (HC; n = 55). PTPRS level of CCA sera (14.38 ± 9.42 ng/ml) was significantly higher than that of BBD (10.7 ± 5.05 ng/ml) or HC (6 ± 3.73 ng/ml) (P < 0.0001). PTPRS was associated with serum albumin (P = 0.028), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.038), and the survival time of patients (P = 0.011). Using a log-rank test, higher serum PTPRS level was significantly (P = 0.031) correlated with a longer overall survival time of patients with CCA, and PTPRS was an independent prognostic marker for CCA superior to carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or alkaline phosphatase (ALP). High expression of PTPRS could be a good independent prognostic marker for CCA.
