Zhang FanghongNiu SiqiFrancisco Alegria AgostinhoAnzol Beneque AlbertoYao MinLiu GuopinWang JianwuHuang Tinghua - Cisplatin remains a standard first-line therapy for epithelial ovarian cancer; however, chemoresistance leads to poor prognosis and high recurrence. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas confirmed improved overall survival in cisplatin-sensitive tumors, underscoring the need for strategies to overcome resistance in clinical settings. Integrative bioinformatics of cisplatin-treated ovarian cancer datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (n=255) identified six molecular drivers of resistance: Kaiso (ZBTB33), pregnane X receptor (PXR), NF-κB, HER2 (ERBB2), P-glycoprotein (P-gp/ABCB1), and HIF1A. These targets were validated in ovarian tumor specimens via immunohistochemistry, confirming elevated expression in chemo-resistant disease. Additionally, the quantitative real-time PCR analysis confirms the transcriptional upregulation of the six resistance-associated genes in cisplatin-resistant SKOV3 and OVCAR-5 ovarian cancer cells, consistent with the immunohistochemistry findings. The average fold change in mRNA transcripts ranged from 2.4 for P-glycoprotein to 5 for both NF-kB and Kaiso. Although less well studied in ovarian cancer, Kaiso is known to regulate EMT and tumor invasion in other solid tumors. Functional studies using SKOV3 and OVCAR-5 cell lines demonstrated that knockdown of Kaiso via RNA interference significantly increased cisplatin-induced cell death, indicating a direct role in therapeutic resistance. Furthermore, we investigated the synergistic effects of combining stearidonic acid (SDA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid known to inhibit NF-κB, with cisplatin on cell death in SKOV3 and OVCAR-5 cell lines, and compared the results with those of each compound used individually. Interestingly, co-treatment with stearidonic acid (SDA) synergistically enhanced the cytotoxicity of cisplatin at a lower dose in both cell models. These findings reveal a clinically relevant resistance signature and highlight the therapeutic potential of combinatorial strategies that target both transcriptional regulators (e.g., Kaiso) and inflammatory signaling (e.g., NF-κB). Dual targeting of these pathways may resensitize tumors to cisplatin and improve outcomes for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. - Source: PubMed

Zhang YingWood Kyle RDunkleberger Thu MMartin Kaylan ARoy Luke ADunham Rex AButts Ian A EWang Xu - Obesity represents a significant public health challenge on a global scale. Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention for individuals with severe obesity, leading to the amelioration or resolution of numerous obesity-related comorbidities with improved quality of life. Numerous studies have demonstrated that bariatric surgery is more effective than medical weight management interventions for remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) among patients with obesity; however, there is heterogeneity of response in this regard. In the current analysis, we examined critical differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in patients with obesity and T2D who had remission versus non-remission after bariatric surgery, i.e., responders versus non-responders. We downloaded the gene expression profile GSE271700 from the Gene Expression Omnibus and preprocessed it with GEO2R. 73 differential expressed genes with │ LFC │ > 1 and p value < 0.05 have been recognized in the responder group which were examined in subsequent analyses. SRSF5, MAGOH, LTF, NUP153, CAMP, CEACAM8, and HBD are identified as hub genes using cytoHubba plugin in cytoscape. Moreover, CAMP, CEACAM8, HBD, and LTF were shared between hub genes and the best module (identified using the MCODE plugin). ZBTB33, TAF1, and BCLAF1 were recognized as the most significant transcription factors, and CSNK2A1, CDK1, and MAPK14 were found as the most significant kinases. Moreover, functional analysis showed that DEGs affect mRNA processing and mRNA surveillance pathways. Innate immune response and regulation of cellular response to heat were the best results of biological processes. These results could help to better understand the differences in diabetes remission among patients with obesity. - Source: PubMed

Mahjoubin-Tehran MaryamTalebloo JonanneGadde Kishore MSukhorukov Vasily NJamialahmadi TannazSahebkar Amirhossein - Kaiso (ZBTB33) is a transcription factor involved in mitotic clonal expansion and tumorigenesis in association with Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) loss of heterozygosity. ENCODE data show strong overlap of the Kaiso promoter-binding site-encode-derived Kaiso-binding site (eKBS) and many other transcription factors, including BRCA1. Here we sought to determine whether BRCA1 is a component of the Kaiso enhanceosome that regulates gene transcription. Using proximal ligation assays, immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry, luciferase assays and ChIP-seq experiments, we evaluated the association between BRCA1 and Kaiso. Kaiso nuclear extract immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that Kaiso associates strongly with genes involved in RNA splicing and processing. When Kaiso was not crosslinked to DNA, BRCA1 was not detected among Kaiso-binding proteins. However, overexpression of BRCA1 increased Kaiso-mediated gene transcription in luciferase assays in a Kaiso-dependent manner. Comparison of BRCA1 ChIP-seq and Kaiso ChIP-seq data from HCT116 cells revealed both BRCA1 and Kaiso commonly bind to the promoters of 379 genes. The most enriched term associated with these genes where BRCA1 and Kaiso bind their promoters is metabolism of RNA. Disease processes associated with these BRCA1/Kaiso gene promoters indicate that BRCA1 is functionally linked to a Kaiso-directed programme of RNAP2-mediated gene transcription and likely associated with colorectal cancer development and maintenance. - Source: PubMed
