Abstract

Hedgehog (Hh) signaling plays a critical role in embryogenesis and tissue homeostasis, and its deregulation has been associated with tumor growth. The tumor suppressor SuFu inhibits Hh signaling by preventing the nuclear translocation of Gli and suppressing cell proliferation. Regulation of SuFu activity and stability is key to controlling Hh signaling. Here, we unveil SuFu Negating Protein 1 (SNEP1) as a novel Hh target, that enhances the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of SuFu and thus promotes Hh signaling. We further show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase LNX1 plays a critical role in the SNEP1-mediated degradation of SuFu. Accordingly, SNEP1 promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation and tumor growth. High levels of SNEP1 are detected in CRC tissues and are well correlated with poor prognosis in CRC patients. Moreover, SNEP1 overexpression reduces sensitivity to anti-Hh inhibitor in CRC cells. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that SNEP1 acts as a novel feedback regulator of Hh signaling by destabilizing SuFu and promoting tumor growth and anti-Hh resistance.

摘要

刺猬 (Hh) 信号在胚胎发生和组织稳态中起着关键作用,其失调与肿瘤生长有关。肿瘤抑制因子 SuFu 通过阻止 Gli 的核易位和抑制细胞增殖来抑制 Hh 信号。SuFu 活性和稳定性的调节是控制 Hh 信号的关键。在这里,我们揭示 SuFu 否定蛋白 1 (SNEP1) 是一种新的 Hh 靶标,它增强 SuFu 的泛素化和蛋白酶体降解,从而促进 Hh 信号。我们进一步表明,E3 泛素连接酶 LNX1 在 SNEP1 介导的 SuFu 降解中起着关键作用。因此,SNEP1 促进结直肠癌 (CRC) 细胞的增殖和肿瘤生长。在 CRC 组织中检测到 SNEP1 的高表达水平,与 CRC 患者的预后不良密切相关。此外,SNEP1 的过表达降低了 CRC 细胞对 Hh 抑制剂的敏感性。总之,我们的研究结果表明,SNEP1 通过使 SuFu 不稳定来充当 Hh 信号的新型反馈调节剂,从而促进肿瘤生长和抗 Hh 耐药性。
