Popis: | Background: The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a tight homeostatic control mechanism of intracellular protein degradation and turnover involved in many human diseases. Proteasome inhibitors were initially developed as anticancer agents with potentially beneficial in the suppression of tumor growth. However, clinical trials of patients with solid tumors fail to demonstrate the same efficacy of these proteasome inhibitors. Methods: The expression of Parkin was examined by quantitative PCR and western blotting analyses and immunohistochemical assay. The effect of Parkin on tumor suppression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells in vitro was measured using cell viability assay and cell death assay, soft agar clonogenic assay in vitro and a Xenografted tumor model in vivo. The underlying mechanisms in which Parkin -mediated NF-κB activity inhibition were determined via luciferase reporter assays, immunofluorescence staining, nuclear protein extraction assay, immunoprecipitation, and western blot analysis. Findings: Lower Parkin expression correlates with poor survival in patients with HCC. Ectopic Parkin expression enhances proteasome inhibitor-induced apoptosis and tumor suppression in HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. In contrast, knockdown of Parkin expression promotes apoptosis resistance and tumor growth. Mechanically, Parkin promotes TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) 2 and TRAF6 degradation and thus facilitates nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) inhibition, which finally results in apoptosis. Interpretation: These findings reveal a direct molecular link between Parkin and protein degradation in the control of NF-κB pathway and may provide a novel UPS-dependent strategy for the treatment of HCC by induction of apoptosis.
