- Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the dominant myeloid population in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and critically shape the chemokine milieu that governs CD8 T-cell entry. However, how macrophage-intrinsic regulators of chemokine expression influence antitumor immunity and response to immunotherapy remains unclear. We postulated that the macrophage RNA helicase DEAH-box helicase 34 (DHX34) suppresses production of the chemokine fractalkine (CX3CL1), thereby limiting chemotaxis of CX3CR1 CD8 T cells and diminishing the therapeutic efficacy of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) blockade. We therefore examined the impact of macrophage DHX34 on T-cell trafficking and tumor control. - Source: PubMed

In this study, we first conducted a meta-analysis of existing cohort studies to quantitatively assess the association between Cd exposure and cancer- and lung cancer-specific mortality. We then employed an integrative approach combining bioinformatics analyses, LASSO regression, and Mendelian randomization to identify and validate DHX34 as a key gene implicated in Cd-related lung carcinogenesis. These findings were further supported by molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, in vitro functional assays, and in vivo tumor models. Our meta-analysis showed that long-term Cd exposure significantly increased cancer mortality risk, especially in males (RR = 1.49, 95 % CI: 1.13-1.96) and in lung cancer (RR = 1.86, 95 % CI: 1.36-2.54). Integration of GSE165549 and TCGA data identified 36 Cd-related genes enriched in tumor associated pathways including cell cycle and DNA replication. LASSO regression and Mendelian randomization suggested a causal role of DHX34 in lung cancer. Molecular docking demonstrated a strong binding affinity between Cd and DHX34 (binding free energy = -5.34 kcal/mol), and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the stability of this complex. Functional assays further showed that CdCl exposure upregulated DHX34, thereby promoting lung cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo. Together, these findings provide multi-level evidence that DHX34 mediates Cd-induced lung cancer progression, highlighting the carcinogenic potential of environmental heavy metal exposure and offering new insights into molecular targets for early prevention, risk stratification, and therapeutic intervention. - Source: PubMed

Lu YongbinKong WeizeWang KaiwenShao ZicongHui XuSong XupingZhang SiyuMa LiCheng ZhiyuanSu FeiZhang TaoYang Kehu - Tumors often evade immune surveillance by crippling their immunogenicity in the microenvironment. DHX34, an RNA helicase involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway, is critical for aberrant RNA degradation. However, the effect of DHX34 in regulating the immunogenicity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unclear. Here, a surprising function of DHX34 in inhibited HCC immunogenicity is identified. DHX34-deficient tumors were infiltrated by activated T cells that impaired tumor growth and enhanced survival in mice. Mechanistically, DHX34 depletion triggered dsRNA accumulation which may activate cytosolic RNA-sensing pathway effectors such as MAVS, p-IKK, p-IRF3, and the subsequent type-I interferon response, evoking tumor-intrinsic immunity and leading to CD8 T activation. Collectively, DHX34 is implicated as a regulator that orchestrates a barrier in HCC by suppressing dsRNA-driven innate immune activation. Targeting DHX34 may enhance tumor immunogenicity and synergize with immunotherapies, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for HCC. - Source: PubMed

Zhang ChunliHuang LiminLi ZeyuWang QianLiu NanbinZhang ChongyuLiu XiZhang ChenHe GaixiaSun JinLi ZongfangTian Hongwei - As a member of the DExD/H-box RNA helicase family, DHX34 has demonstrated a significant correlation with the development of multiple disorders. Nevertheless, a comprehensive investigation between DHX34 and pan-cancer remains unexplored. We analyzed the value of DHX34 in pan-cancer based on some databases, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) by use the R language as well as some online analysis tools, including STRING, TISIDB, TISCH2. And based on our samples we performed Western blot (WB), qPCR and immunohistochemical staining (IHC) experiments. DHX34 was highly expressed in most tumors, including Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma (LIHC), compared to corresponding normal tissues. Among cervical cancers, DHX34 mutation frequency was the highest. Intriguingly, a positive correlation was observed between DHX34 expression and Mutational Burden (TMB) across 12 tumor types, and Microsatellite Instability (MSI) across 10 tumor types. Remarkably, DHX34 exhibited a favorable diagnostic value in a multitude of tumors. High expression of DHX34 is associated with poor prognosis in tumors such as adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), low-grade glioma (LGG), and LIHC. Correlation analysis indicated that DHX34 expression correlated with clinicopathological features in a variety of tumors. The Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network and GSCALite database suggested that DHX34 and its ten co-expression genes might promote cancer progression by regulating the cell cycle. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) results further showed that DHX34 was positively correlated with pathways such as cell cycle, mitosis, and gene transcription regulation. The TISIDB database showed that DHX34 expression was closely associated with immune infiltration. Based on the TISCH2 database, we found that DHX34 was expressed in a number of immune cells, with relatively high expression in monocyte macrophages in LIHC. In summary, our study found that DHX34 is highly expressed in pan-cancer and has diagnostic and prognostic value. Targeting DHX34 may improve the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy and chemotherapy in a multitude of tumors. - Source: PubMed

Liu NanbinWang QianZhu PengpengHe GaixiaLi ZeyuChen TingYuan JianingLa TingTian HongweiLi Zongfang - DExH-box helicases are involved in unwinding of RNA and DNA. Among the 16 DExH-box genes, monoallelic variants of DHX16, DHX30, DHX34, and DHX37 are known to be associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. In particular, DHX30 is well established as a causative gene for neurodevelopmental disorders. Germline variants of DHX9, the closest homolog of DHX30, have not been reported until now as being associated with congenital disorders in humans, except that one de novo heterozygous variant, p.(Arg1052Gln) of the gene was identified during comprehensive screening in a patient with autism; unfortunately, the phenotypic details of this individual are unknown. Herein, we report a patients with a heterozygous de novo missense variant, p.(Gly414Arg) of DHX9 who presented with a short stature, intellectual disability, and ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy. The variant was located in the glycine codon of the ATP-binding site, G-C-G-K-T. To assess the pathogenicity of these variants, we generated transgenic Drosophila lines expressing human wild-type and mutant DHX9 proteins: 1) the mutant proteins showed aberrant localization both in the nucleus and the cytoplasm; 2) ectopic expression of wild-type protein in the visual system led to the rough eye phenotype, whereas expression of the mutant proteins had minimal effect; 3) overexpression of the wild-type protein in the retina led to a reduction in axonal numbers, whereas expression of the mutant proteins had a less pronounced effect. Furthermore, in a gene-editing experiment of Dhx9 G416 to R416, corresponding to p.(Gly414Arg) in humans, heterozygous mice showed a reduced body size, reduced emotionality, and cardiac conduction abnormality. In conclusion, we established that heterozygosity for a loss-of-function variant of DHX9 can lead to a new neurodevelopmental disorder. - Source: PubMed
