- Gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) enable sequence-specific degradation of target mRNAs, offering therapeutic access to previously "undruggable" genes and holding great promise for treating chronic and genetic diseases. However, the rapid development of ASO therapeutics remains limited by challenges in rational sequence design and translational validation. Here, we present ClinASO, an integrated computational-experimental platform that unifies key determinants of ASO efficacy-including RNase H1 cleavage preference, SNP avoidance, off-target filtering, and cross-species conservation-into a single, data-driven workflow. This system enables rapid identification of potent ASO leads and direct validation in wild-type animal disease models. Using ClinASO, we efficiently identified potent ASOs against and , both exhibiting superior silencing activity compared to their clinical counterparts. Furthermore, ClinASO generated a potent ASO targeting genes implicated in metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD). In multiple human cells, the ASO achieved robust silencing effect. Notably, by conjugating GalNAc, this ASO demonstrated durable, liver-specific knockdown, significantly ameliorating hepatic steatosis and normalizing systemic lipid profiles in MASLD mouse model. Together, these findings establish ClinASO as an efficient, experimentally validated online tool for the rational design and rapid development of translatable ASO therapeutics. - Source: PubMed

Chen ShunkaiLiu HaoCong DeziDong AoWang YuhangBi JingyiGuo ShijieYang JuanWang XiaoleiRen GuipingZhang KeWang HaishengLai FanDang Yunkun - The long noncoding RNA LINC01012 is known to play critical roles in tumorigenesis. However, its underlying regulatory mechanisms remain largely unclear in hepatitis B (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to identify the potential protein targets of LINC01012 and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which LINC01012 promotes HBV-HCC progression. Bioinformatics analysis was employed to investigate whether LINC01012 expression is abnormal in HCC and whether such abnormalities hold clinical significance. HBV-HCC cases were collected to validate LINC01012 expression levels and clinical value in HBV-HCC. The effects of LINC01012 knockdown on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were studied using HBV-HCC cell lines (HepAD38 and HepG2.2.15). Bioinformatics predictions combined with RIP and RNA pulldown experiments were employed to predict and validate RBPs interacting with LINC01012 and its downstream target genes. The results showed that LINC01012 was significantly upregulated in HBV-HCC tissues and serum and correlated with advanced T stage, TNM stage, vascular invasion, and poor survival. Multivariate Cox analysis confirmed high LINC01012 expression as an independent prognostic factor (HR = 2.52, 95%CI: 1.21-5.24). Functional studies demonstrated that LINC01012 knockdown suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion, and expression of α-SMA. Mechanistically, LINC01012 directly interacted with HNRNPL, which in turn promoted the stability of the oncogenic splice variant SLK-S. Silencing LINC01012 reduced both HNRNPL and SLK-S expression. In conclusion, LINC01012 may act as an oncogenic lncRNA in HBV-HCC by stabilizing SLK-S via interaction with HNRNPL, promoting malignant phenotypes, and predicting poor prognosis. These findings highlight its potential as a therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker in HBV-driven HCC. - Source: PubMed
Zhu JianhuiDai Peng - Early detection of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) remains suboptimal. Fecal tests fail to diagnose 30% of stage I cancer, and serum CEA lacks sensitivity (< 40%). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) circulate systemically and package tumor-related cargo, making them attractive non-invasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. We profiled the EV proteome from 233 human patients using LC-MS/MS, including stage I‑IV tumors with matched non‑tumor colon tissues (n = 50 each; n = 100), paired pre‑/post‑operative plasma (n = 90) and healthy plasma (n = 43). Circulating EVs contained both tumor-specific and stromal/immune cell-derived proteins, reflecting the systemic nature of EV biology in the cancer setting. Proteomic analysis identified 745 proteins enriched in tumor-derived EVs (e.g., SRPK1, THBS2) and 127 proteins enriched in adjacent tissues. Plasma EVs revealed 166 proteins enriched in COAD (e.g., UBA1, FCN1) and 233 enriched in healthy controls. Pathway analysis linked tumor EV cargo to angiogenesis, mRNA splicing, TGF‑β signalling and RNA translation. Notably, a cross-cancer comparison (pancreatic = 10, lung = 14 cases) revealed that 76% of tumor EV proteins were COAD-specific, highlighting tissue of origin specificity. We further developed a 10-protein EV panel comprising seven tumor-associated and three healthy-enriched EV proteins, which effectively distinguished COAD patients from healthy controls in the two validation cohorts (n = 104 and n = 215), achieving > 90% sensitivity for differentiating COAD from healthy and non-COAD colorectal conditions. Six weeks after curative resection, tumor-associated EV proteins decreased by > 70%, whereas healthy-associated proteins rebounded to baseline, indicating surgical responsiveness. Collectively, EV protein signatures provide a sensitive and tissue-specific window into tumor-host communication, further supporting blood-based early detection of COAD. - Source: PubMed

In this study, we identified a neurosecretory factor derived from HCC cells, Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), as a critical mediator of lenvatinib resistance. Utilizing an innovative in vivo-in vitro cross-circulated strategy, we established a phenotypically stable lenvatinib-resistant HCC cell line (LenR-cells). Through proteomic screening of conditioned media and subsequent functional validation, we demonstrated that NGF secretion progressively increases with the acquisition of resistance. Mechanistically, we uncovered that the SRPK1-SRSF1 axis drives enhanced NGF production by regulating alternative splicing of its precursor transcript, specifically promoting the expression of a shorter, translationally efficient isoform (proNGF-B). Elevated NGF subsequently activates the non-canonical MAPK pathway (MEK5-ERK5) via its high-affinity receptor TrkA, thereby sustaining tumor cell viability and proliferation under sustained tyrosine kinase inhibitor pressure. Critically, pharmacological co-targeting of TrkA with the clinically approved inhibitor larotrectinib restored lenvatinib sensitivity in both patient-derived organoids and xenograft models, producing marked synergistic anti-tumor effects without evidence of exacerbated toxicity. Clinical analyses of two independent patient cohorts further confirmed that elevated NGF expression is significantly associated with poor response to lenvatinib, shorter recurrence-free survival, and worse overall survival. Our findings unveil a critical and previously underappreciated role for tumor-derived NGF in orchestrating adaptive signaling through a precise post-transcriptional regulatory circuit and propose a readily translatable, biomarker-guided combination strategy to overcome lenvatinib resistance in HCC. - Source: PubMed

Xu MinghaoZheng YiminZhao LongtaoWang SiweiChen JunboFu ZhongchiMa AyingLiang BugangHuang YilanXu HaihanWang YueAi YingjieZeng HaiyingGao ChaoCai JiabinKe AiwuFan Jia - Protein phosphorylation regulates key events of male germ cell differentiation. In the testis, SRPK1 and PP1γ are involved in protamine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, respectively, and their deregulation is linked to defective chromatin structure and male infertility. The aim of this study was to expand our knowledge on the molecular role of these phosphorylation-modulating proteins through the identification of novel partners in the testis, potentially supporting additional roles in sperm development. Using immunoprecipitation followed by LC-MS/MS, we identified yet undescribed interactions of SRPK1 and PP1γ with proteins involved in sperm formation and regulation of spermatogenic gene expression. We reported that SRPK1 interacts with the key splicing regulator ASF/SF2, as well as with other proteins involved in posttranscriptional regulation such as PABP1 or IGF2BP3. We showed that the testis-enriched isoform 2 of PP1γ (PP1γ2) interacts with PIHI1D1, part of the R2TP chaperone complex, and predicted that ZFR, NDUFB10 and ILF2 interactions with PP1γ2 happen within the C-terminal sequence which is specific of PP1γ2 proteoform. Both SRPK1 and PP1γ interactomes include ILF2 and TBLX1R1, with roles in gene expression regulation. Most of the identified proteins are known phosphoproteins in male germ cells, supporting a functional interaction. Overall, our results suggest additional roles for SRPK1 and PP1γ during spermatogenesis, shedding light into the orchestrated regulation of the complex mechanisms driving sperm formation. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifiers PXD054959 and PXD054960. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: In the present work, we report the first testicular protein interactome of two broad phosphorylation-modulating proteins, the kinase SRPK1 and the phosphatase PP1γ, known to be essential regulators of chromatin remodeling during male germ cell development. Our novel protein-protein interactions reveal additional roles for SRPK1 and PP1γ in male germ cells, in key processes including splicing, gene expression, protein homeostasis, or formation of sperm-specific structures. Our data will therefore contribute to a better understanding of the complex and orchestrated molecular mechanisms controlling testicular activity and proper sperm formation. The lack of male germ cell-specific protein-protein interaction datasets currently challenges the research on the still largely unknown molecular mechanisms driving male germ cell differentiation. This jeopardizes exploratory approaches and in silico validations in a testis-specific manner, as most available datasets have been obtained in somatic cells. Thus, our protein-protein interaction data will be a useful resource to those interested in identifying the origins of male reproductive health problems related to protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, our analyses suggesting that some of these interactions may also occur in other organs extend the relevance of our findings to the broader scientific community. - Source: PubMed
