RNF6 overexpression

Silencing CCNA1/CREBBP partially reversed the promoting effect of RNF6 overexpression on the biological function of GC cells. Our study suggests that RNF6 promotes the progression of GC by regulating CCNA1/CREBBP transcription.

RNF6/TGF-β1 promoted esophageal cancer progression through c-Myb. RNF6 promotes the proliferation, invasion, and migration of ESCC cells possibly by activating the TGF-β1/c-Myb pathway and affects the progression of ESCC.

Downregulation of RNF6 reduced TCF4 recruitment to PCNA promoters in H3255 and A549 cells, indicating that RNF6 regulates PCNA transcription to a certain extent by regulating TCF4 binding to PCNA promoters. The collective results implicate RNF6 overexpression as a molecular target in the management of cisplatin-resistant LUAD.

We further revealed that RNF6 expression in both Y-79 and SO-Rb50 cells could render cells resistant to multiple anti-cancer drugs including carboplatin, vincristine and etoposide, an implication of RNF6 as a biomarker for RB drug resistance. Taken together, our study has revealed that RNF6 is upregulated in drug-resistant RB cells and RNF6 promotes drug resistance through JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. The importance of RNF6 in RB cells drug resistance may represent this protein as a potential biomarker and treatment target for drug resistance in RB.

Additionally, RNF6 regulated YAP signalling by promoting ubiquitination and degradation of MST1 in BC. Taken together, these data may highlight a role of RNF6 in BC, which could serve as a valuable prognostic indicator and potential therapeutic target for patients with BC.

RNF6 enhances radioresistance of CRC through activating the Wnt pathway.

Moreover, the combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus pladienolide B exerted synergistic effects in CRC with high RNF6 expression, leading to tumor regression in xenograft models. These findings indicate that tumor promoting effect of RNF6 is achieved mainly via transcriptional upregulation of SF3B2, and that RNF6-SF3B2 axis is a promising target for CRC therapy.
