ARF-induced downregulation of Mip130/LIN-9 protein levels mediates a positive feedback that leads to increased expression of p16Ink4a and p19Arf.

Abstract

The ARF-MDM2-p53 pathway constitutes one of the most important mechanisms of surveillance against oncogenic transformation, and its inactivation occurs in a large proportion of cancers. Here, we show that ARF regulates Mip130/LIN-9 by inducing its translocation to the nucleolus and decreasing the expression of the Mip130/LIN-9 protein through a post-transcriptional mechanism. The knockdown of Mip130/LIN-9 in p53(-/-) and Arf(-/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) mimics some effects of ARF, such as the downregulation of B-Myb, impaired induction of G2/M genes, and a decrease in cell proliferation. Importantly, although the knockdown of Mip130/LIN-9 reduced the proliferation of p53 or Arf-null MEFs, only p53(-/-) MEFs showed a senescence-like state and an increase in the expression of Arf and p16. Interestingly, the increase in p16 and ARF is indirect because the Mip130/LIN-9 knockdown decreased the transcription of negative regulators of the Ink4a/Arf locus, such as BUBR1 and CDC6. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays also reveal that Mip130/LIN-9 occupies the promoters of the BubR1 and cdc6 genes, suggesting that Mip130/LIN-9 is necessary for the expression of these genes. Altogether, these results indicate that there is a fe...Continue Reading

Cancer Epigenetics and Senescence (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may be involved in regulating senescence in cancer cells. This feed captures the latest research on cancer epigenetics and senescence.
