Abstrakt: Background: Post-translational modification pathway of protein ubiquitination is intricately associated with tumorigenesis. We previously reported elevated ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2T (UBE2T) as an independent risk factor in stage I lung adenocarcinoma and promoting cellular proliferation. However, its underlying mechanisms needed further investigation.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of UBE2T and retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor α (RORA) in stage I LUAD. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of LUAD cell lines were measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay (CCK-8), Colony-forming assay and Transwell assay, respectively. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. A xenograft model was established to evaluate the proliferative capacity of UBE2T and its interaction with RORA in promoting LUAD. Mechanistic insights into the promotion of early-stage LUAD by UBE2T were obtained through luciferase reporter assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation and co-immunoprecipitation.
Results: UBE2T and RORA expression was significantly up- and down-regulated in early-stage LUAD patients which's proved to be associated with unfavorable outcomes, strengthened cell proliferation, migration, EMT and invasion through its interaction with RORA both in vivo and in vitro. The growth NSCLC xenografts was reduced by down-expression of UBE2T but was suppressed by RORA knockout. Mechanistically, UBE2T mediated the ubiquitination of the intermediate transcription factor PBX1, which played a transcriptional role in downstream regulation of RORA.
Conclusion: The oncogenic role of UBE2T and the UBE2T-PBX1-RORA axis in driving malignant progression in Stage I LUAD had been established. UBE2T might be a novel and promising therapeutic target for LUAD treatment.
