- To develop a personalized neoantigen therapy strategy for microsatellite stability (MSS)-advanced colorectal cancer (CRC), neoantigens from collected human CRC samples were screened, and the feasibility and effectiveness of these neoantigens in treating CRC were explored. Whole-exome sequencing and transcriptome sequencing were performed to identify somatic mutations, RNA expression, and human leukocyte antigen alleles. Based on these data, neoantigen candidates were predicted, and their immunogenicity was evaluated. Selected neoantigens from patients elicited enhanced T-cell responses in CRC peripheral blood lymphocytes. Mutated peptides SOX9-V144M, ZNF169-A275S, CDH4-V456M, NIM1K-T66M, and MAP3K9-R1008Q were more effective than nonmutated ones in Patient 1. Vaccination with mutant peptides ZNF169-A275S and CDH4-V456M inhibited tumor growth in an autologous humanized CRC mouse model. Highly immunogenic neoantigens are strong candidates for personalized cancer therapy, showing promise for translating into effective treatments for CRC patients with advanced disease. - Source: PubMed

Luo WenXiao QiyuFu Ying - Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks among the most prevalent types of cancer globally. Zinc finger protein 169 (ZNF169) holds significant importance as a transcription factor, yet its precise function in HCC remains to be elucidated. This study aims to examine the clinical importance, biological functions, and molecular pathways associated with ZNF169 in the development of HCC. The study employed lentiviral transduction for ZNF169 overexpression and the use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to suppress its expression. ZNF169 was upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Additionally, HCC patients exhibiting elevated ZNF169 levels experienced reduced overall survival, shorter disease-free survival, and diminished progression-free survival. Silencing of ZNF169 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression. Whereas ectopic expression of ZNF169 promoted HCC progression in vivo and ex vivo. Subsequently, Pearson analysis results showed that cyclin-dependent kinase 19 (CDK19) was positively correlated with ZNF169 levels in HCC using TCGA dataset. Luciferase assay findings indicated a potential interaction between ZNF169 and CDK19 promoter. Additionally, our data showed that CDK19 expression levels were elevated in HCC tissues, and patients with higher CDK19 expression faced a poorer prognosis. Furthermore, recovery experiments demonstrated that CDK19 could reverse the impact of ZNF169 on HCC cell amplification. Our findings indicate that ZNF169 promotes HCC progression by upregulating CDK19, highlighting its role as a therapeutic target or prognostic biomarker for HCC. - Source: PubMed
Hu ChaoquanAiniwaer AizierLu YingLi JiaxingFu YongmeiLuo JunWu BaijunYin PengHu XiaoSun YaoLi HongLu HeDong Zheng - Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The 5‑year survival rate of patients diagnosed with the early stages of the disease is markedly higher than that of patients in the advanced stages. Therefore, identifying novel biomarkers and drug targets for CRC is critical for clinical practice. Zinc finger protein 169 (ZNF169) is a crucial transcription factor, and its role in CRC remains to be explored. The present study aimed to investigate the clinical relevance, function and underlying mechanisms of ZNF169 in CRC growth and proliferation. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was utilized to analyze the clinical relevance of ZNF169 in patients with CRC. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on tissue samples from patients with CRC to detect the expression of ZNF169. The HCT‑116, HT‑29 and RKO cell lines were employed for experiments. The overexpression and knockdown of ZNF169 were achieved by transfecting the cells with lentivirus and small interfering RNAs, respectively. Cell Counting Kit‑8, colony formation and EdU staining assays were applied to investigate the function of ZNF169 in CRC cells. Dual luciferase activity and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)‑quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays were performed to identify the regulatory effects of ZNF169 on the ankyrin repeat and zinc‑finger domain‑containing 1 (ANKZF1; also known as ZNF744) gene. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blot analysis were performed to measure mRNA and protein expression, respectively. The analysis of TCGA data revealed a positive correlation between ZNF169 and ANKZF1, with the overexpression of ANKZF1 being associated with a poor prognosis of patients with CRC. The experimental results demonstrated that ZNF169 was expression upregulated in CRC tissue compared with that in normal colon tissue. Gain‑of‑function and loss‑of‑function experiments revealed that ZNF169 enhanced the intensity of EdU staining, promoting the growth and proliferation of CRC cells. Furthermore, the overexpression of ZNF169 potentiated the transcriptional activity of the ANKZF1 gene, while the knockdown of ZNF169 produced the opposite results. ChIP‑qPCR confirmed the interaction between ZNF169 and the promoter sequence of ANKZF1. Rescue experiments revealed that ZNF169 accelerated CRC cell growth and proliferation through the upregulation of ANKZF1. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation identified between ZNF169 and ANKZF1, and upregulation of ANKZF1 expression was associated with the poor prognosis of patients with CRC. On the whole, the present study demonstrates that ZNF169 contributes to CRC malignancy by potentiating the expression of ANKZF1. Thus, the regulation of ZNF169 and/or ANKZF1 expression may represent a viable strategy for the treatment patients with CRC with a high expression of ZNF169. - Source: PubMed

Zhang JieWang YeHou ShiyangChi XiaoqianDing DanyangXue MeiZhang MengqiaoWang JingShuai JunfangSun HaiyingGao QiangKang Chunbo - Long considered active only in the germline, the PIWI/piRNA pathway is now known to play a significant role in somatic cells, especially neurons. In this study, piRNAs were profiled in the human retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Furthermore, RNA immunoprecipitation with HIWI2 (PIWIL4) in ARPE19 cells yielded 261 piRNAs, and the expression of selective piRNAs in donor eyes was assessed by qRT-PCR. Intriguingly, computational analysis revealed complete and partial seed sequence similarity between piR-hsa-26131 and the sensory organ specific miR-183/96/182 cluster. Furthermore, the expression of retina-enriched piR-hsa-26131 was positively correlated with miR-182 in HIWI2-silenced Y79 cells. In addition, the lnc-ZNF169 sequence matched with two miRNAs of the let-7 family, and piRNAs, piR-hsa-11361 and piR-hsa-11360, which could modulate the regulatory network of retinal differentiation. Interestingly, we annotated four enriched motifs among the piRNAs and found that the piRNAs containing CACAATG and CTCATCAKYG motifs were snoRNA-derived piRNAs, which are significantly associated with developmental functions. However, piRNAs consisting of ACCACTANACCAC and AKCACGYTCSC motifs were mainly tRNA-derived fragments linked to stress response and sensory perception. Additionally, co-expression network analysis revealed cell cycle control, intracellular transport and stress response as the important biological functions regulated by piRNAs in the retina. Moreover, loss of piRNAs in HIWI2 knockdown ARPE19 confirmed altered expression of targets implicated in intracellular transport, circadian clock, and retinal degeneration. Moreover, piRNAs were dysregulated under oxidative stress conditions, indicating their potential role in retinal pathology. Therefore, we postulate that piRNAs, miRNAs, and lncRNAs might have a functional interplay during retinal development and functions to regulate retinal homeostasis. - Source: PubMed
