NUPR1 expression

These findings have implications for the therapeutic modulation of cellular iron homeostasis in regenerative medicine and in cancer prevention. Furthermore, our findings are consistent with a model whereby most human cancers initiate at a young age, thereby highlighting the importance of directing cancer prevention efforts towards young individuals.

Knockdown of Nupr1 can delay the pathological progression of osteoarthritis through inhibiting ferroptosis in mouse chondrocytes.

Subsequently, NUPR1, a transcriptional cofactor known to induce premature senescence in lung cancer cells by disrupting autophagic processes, was validated as a downstream target of the MED23/BCLAF1 complex through RNA-seq and ChIP assays. Thus, the interaction between MED23 and BCLAF1 regulates NUPR1 expression, impacting autophagic flux and leading to premature senescence in NSCLC cells.

Collectively, our findings show that NUPR1 enhances the progression of ESCC by triggering autophagy and is associated with the MAPK-mTOR signaling pathway.

In this study, we utilized a microfluidic device to induce the development of doxorubicin-resistant (DOXR) cells from triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells within 11 days by generating gradients of DOX and medium. In vivo chemoresistant xenograft models, an unbiased genome-wide transcriptome analysis, and a patient data/tissue analysis all showed that chemoresistance arose from failed epigenetic control of the nuclear protein-1 (NUPR1)/histone deacetylase 11 (HDAC11) axis, and high NUPR1 expression correlated with poor clinical outcomes. These results suggest that the chip can rapidly induce resistant cells that increase tumor heterogeneity and chemoresistance, highlighting the need for further studies on the epigenetic control of the NUPR1/HDAC11 axis in TNBC.

Knockdown of NUPR1 with shRNA decreased the release of TEVs. In conclusion, our study suggests that TNBC is driven by aberrant packaging of NUPR1 into TEVs which were transferred into recipient cells to activate pro-metastatic transcription driven by NUPR1.

Lastly, a four-week ZZW-115 treatment significantly reduced the number and size of PanINs in KC mice. This study proposes that targeting NUPR1-dependent SGs formation could be a therapeutic approach to induce cell death in KrasG12D-dependent tumors.

Nupr1 activation could promote Ca2+ influx through STIM1-mediated SOCE opening, which promoted METH-induced pulmonary artery remodeling and led to PH formation. These results suggested that Nupr1 played an important role in METH-induced PH and might be a potential target for METH-related PH therapy.

Overall, silencing NUPR1 reduced autophagy by inhibiting TFE3 in cervical cancer. Our results supply new evidence for the use of NUPR1 as a therapeutic target in cervical cancer.

Reduction of NUPR1 in EVs resulted in diminished EMT capacity that resulted in decreased anchorage independent growth. This study is the first to demonstrate the role of NUPR1 in extracellular vesicle-mediate cancer progression.

This study establishes a novel prognostic model for LUAD based on six ER stress-related genes, facilitating the prediction of LUAD prognosis. Additionally, NUPR1 was identified as a potential regulator of stress in LUAD.

There likely exist several biomarkers that can be used at the time of diagnosis, alone or in combination, to predict the response to epigenetic preconditioning using DAC for TMZ sensitization, which will be necessary for optimal patient selection in an early phase clinical trial. Further data and validation studies are necessary to strengthen these findings and to confirm their clinical relevance.
