Additionally, we explore a novel hypothesis regarding nicotine's carcinogenicity involving the downregulation of stem-loop binding protein (SLBP), a critical regulator of canonical histone mRNA, and the polyadenylation of canonical histone mRNA. By shedding light on these mechanisms, this review underscores the need for further research to elucidate the carcinogenic potential of nicotine and its implications for human health.
Our data suggest that SLBP degrades under stress, destabilizing the stem-loop, elongating histone isoforms mRNA with 3' polyadenylated tail with increase of HuR and decrease of BRF1. Overall, our results indicate that SLBP may play an essential part in cell proliferation, at least in persistent exposure to stress, by mediating the stabilization of histone isoforms throughout the cell cycle.
In this integrated proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis, we identified proteins and phosphoproteins in colorectal cancer tissue and analyzed potential mechanisms contributing to progression in colorectal cancer. The results of this study provide a foundation to focus future experiments on the contribution of altered protein and phosphorylation patterns to prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.
Importantly, nicotine-induced anchorage-independent cell growth is attenuated by inhibition of α7-nAChR and is rescued by overexpression of SLBP. We propose that the SLBP depletion and polyadenylation of canonical histone mRNAs via activation of α7-nAChR and a series of downstream signal transduction pathways, are critical for nicotine-induced cell transformation and potential carcinogenesis.
Taken together, DRAIC sponged miR-432-5p to enhance SLBP expression, by which malignant behaviors of BRCA cells were promoted. Our findings may help to provide a promising therapeutic target for BRCA patients.
