Abstract:
:c-FLIP (cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein) is the pivotal regulator of TRAIL resistance in cancer cells, It is a short-lived protein degraded through the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. The discovery of factors and mechanisms regulating its protein stability is important for the comprehension of TRAIL resistance by tumor cells. In this study, we show that, when H1299 lung adenocarcinoma cells are treated with TRAIL, hnRNPK is translocated from nucleus to cytoplasm where it interacts and co-localizes with GSK3β. We find that hnRNPK is able to inhibit the Ser9 phosphorylation of GSK3β by PKC. This has the effect of activating GSK3β and thereby stabilizing c-FLIP protein which contributes to the resistance to TRAIL in H1299 cells. Our immunohistochemical analysis using tissue microarray provides the clinical evidence of this finding by establishing a negative correlation between the level of hnRNPK expression and the Ser9 phosphorylation of GSK3β in both lung adenocarcinoma tissues and normal tissues. Moreover, in all cancer tissues examined, hnRNPK was found in the cytoplasm whereas it is exclusively nuclear in the normal tissues. Our study sheds new insights on the molecular mechanisms governing the resistance to TRAIL in tumor cells, and provides new clues for the combinatorial chemotherapeutic interventions with TRAIL.
