Targeting Jab1/CSN5 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated head and neck cancer that is most common in eastern Asia. Epstein-Barr virus infection, environmental factors, and genetic susceptibility play important roles in NPC pathogenesis. Jab1/CSN5 is a multifunctional protein that participates in affecting integrin signaling, controlling cell proliferation and apoptosis, and regulating genomic instability and DNA repair. Correlation of Jab1/CSN5 overexpression with poor prognosis for NPC provides evidence that it is involved in the tumorigenic process. In this review, we highlight recent advances in studies of the oncogenic role of Jab1/CSN5 in NPC and its potential as a therapeutic target for this cancer.     

Targeting JNK-interacting protein 1 (JIP1) sensitises osteosarcoma to doxorubicin

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumour in children and adolescents. Despite aggressive therapy, survival outcomes remain unsatisfactory, especially for patients with metastatic disease or patients with a poor chemotherapy response. Chemoresistance contributes to treatment failure. To increase the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy, essential survival pathways should be targeted concomitantly. Here, we performed a loss-of-function siRNA screen of the human kinome in SaOS-2 cells to identify critical survival kinases after doxorubicin treatment. Gene silencing of JNK-interacting-protein-1 (JIP1) elicited the most potent sensitisation to doxorubicin. This candidate was further explored as potential target for chemosensitisation in OS. A panel of OS cell lines and human primary osteoblasts was examined for sensitisation to doxorubicin using small molecule JIP1-inhibitor BI-78D3. JIP1 expression and JIP1-inhibitor effects on JNK-signalling were investigated by Western blot analysis. JIP1 expression in human OS tumours was assessed by immunohistochemistry on tissue micro arrays. BI-78D3 blocked JNK-signalling and sensitised three out of four tested OS cell lines, but not healthy osteoblasts, to treatment with doxorubicin. Combination treatment increased the induction of apoptosis. JIP1 was found to be expressed in two-thirds of human primary OS tissue samples. Patients with JIP1 positive tumours showed a trend to inferior overall survival. Collectively, JIP1 appears a clinically relevant novel target in OS to enhance the efficacy of doxorubicin treatment by means of RNA interference or pharmacological inhibition.     

DIAGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF SERUM C-REACTIVE PROTEIN, MUCIN AND TRANSFERRIN LEVELS IN LEUKEMIA PATIENTS COMPLICATED BY INFECTION

Serum Greactive protein (CRP), mucin (Mu) and transferrin (Tf) levels were measured in 63 cases of leukemia. CRP and Mu levels were obviously higher in 33 cases with concomitant infections than in those without, while the Tf levels in leukemia with infection were significantly lower than in those without infection. The CRP level rapidly increased in patients with concomitant infections and prorrtpt- ly decreased after control of inflammation. There- fore, it is a useful index for detecting infection and judging the effect of treatment. Changes in Mu and Tf levels correlate well with the severity of infection. Clinically, the dynamic CRP, Mu and Tf changes aid the diagnosis of infection complicat. ing Ieukemia.
