Involvement of Ataxin-3 (ATXN3) in the malignant progression of pancreatic cancer via deubiquitinating HDAC6.
Pancreatology : Official Journal of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) ... [et Al.] 2023 July 7
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer is a common digestive system cancer and one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Ataxin-3 (ATXN3) protein is a deubiquitinating enzyme implicated in the occurrence of diverse human cancers. The potential role of ATXN3 in pancreatic cancer still remains unclear.
METHODS: ATXN3 was screened from differentially-upregulated genes of GSE71989, GSE27890 and GSE40098 datasets. The mRNA and protein levels of ATXN3 was evaluated in pancreatic cancer samples and cell lines. Through the gain- and loss-of-function experiments, the effects of ATXN3 on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, wound healing and Transwell assays. Subsequently, the interaction between ATXN3 and HDAC6 was confirmed using double immunofluorescence staining, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and proximity ligation assay (PLA). The underlying mechanism of ATXN3 was determined by knockdown of HDAC6 in ATXN3-upregulated pancreatic cancer cells. The function of ATXN3 in vivo was verified through xenograft assay.
RESULTS: High expression of ATXN3 was found in pancreatic cancer tissues. Increased ATXN3 expression dramatically promoted cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. The malignant phenotypes were suppressed in ATXN3-silenced pancreatic cancer cells. ATXN3 was proved to interact with HDAC6 and regulate its degradation through deubiquitination. Downregulation of HDAC6 inhibited ATXN3-induced development of pancreatic cancer cells through regulating the expression of PCNA, vimentin and E-cadherin. ATXN3 facilitated tumor growth of pancreatic cancer and increased HDAC6 expression in vivo.
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed that ATXN3 facilitated malignant phenotypes of pancreatic cancer via reducing the ubiquitination of HDAC6.
