FBXW7 overexpression

In summary, the research identified a novel mechanism of action of FBXW7 in CRC. The research findings provide a theoretical foundation for the prognostic prediction and therapeutic planning of CRC based on metabolic reprogramming.

FBW7 overexpression suppresses HCC cell metastasis, stemness and oxaliplatin resistance via targeting CHD3 for ubiquitylation and degradation.

Here, we will introduce the structure and function of Skp2, β-TrCP, and FBXW7, their connections with cancer development, the relevant in vitro and in vivo activities, selectivity, structure-activity relationships, and the therapeutic or preventive application of small molecule inhibitors targeting these three F-box proteins reported in the patent (2010-present). This information will help develop drugs targeting the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase, providing new strategies for future cancer treatments.

Furthermore, knockdown of FOXP4 led to decelerated growth of transplanted tumors and increased FBXW7 levels within the tumors. The findings of the current study underscore the regulatory role of FOXP4 in the transcription of FBXW7 and establish a clear link between aberrations in FBXW7 expression and the manifestation of malignant phenotypes in highly aggressive TC cells.

Our results suggest that FBXW7 affects autophagy through MCL1 in OSCC.

Sphere formation assay and qPCR showed FBXW7 was associated with ESCC stem cell formation. Our results suggest that FBXW7 may act as a tumor suppressor by repressing cancer stem cell formation and regulating tumor angiogenesis, cell senescence, DNA damage, and repair in ESCC.

In summary, these results unveiled that Fbxw7 targeted Nox1 for degradation, resulting in blocking the downstream Nox1-mTORC1 signaling to sensitize CRC cells to cisplatin. Our study potentiates that targeting the Fbxw7-Nox1-mTOR pathway could be an effective approach to overcome chemoresistance of colon cancer cells.

In conclusion, decreased expression of FBXW7 is confirmed in diverse OSCC cell lines. The enhanced FBXW7 expression inhibits cancer cell proliferation and promotes autophagy in both OSCC cells and xenograft tumor model.

FBXW7 overexpression promoted HOXA10 ubiquitination-based degradation and further inhibited BMP2 transcription, consequently restricting NPC cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo.

These effects were antagonized by FBXW7 downregulation or treatment with MHY1485. Our results suggest that FBXW7 improves cisplatin chemosensitivity and suppresses glycolysis in oSCC cells, indicating its promising potential as a target for puerarin to regulate the cisplatin sensitivity of oSCC cells.

FBXW7 inhibited tumorigenesis and apoptosis and enhanced radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells in vivo via the SOX9/CDKN1A axis. Overall, FBXW7 inhibited SOX9 expression by promoting SOX9 ubiquitination and proteasome degradation, suppressing the binding of SOX9 to CDKN1A, and upregulating CDKN1A, thereby improving the radiosensitivity of NSCLC cells.

FBXW7 overexpression was herein shown to effectively sensitise OSCC cells to cisplatin treatment in vitro and in vivo.
