【 摘 要 】
Background/Aims An increasing number of studies have linked erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular carcinoma (Eph) family receptor tyrosine kinases to cancer progression. However, little knowledge is available about the regulation of their functions in cancer. Methods SUMOylation was analyzed by performing Ni2+-NTA pull-down assay and immunoprecipitation. Cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and tumorigenesis in vivo were examined by cell counting kit-8, soft agar colony formation assay, and a xenograft tumor mouse model, respectively. Results We found that EphB1 was post-translationally modified by the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) protein at lysine residue 785. Analysis of wild-type EphB1 and SUMOylation-deficient EphB1 K785R mutant revealed that SUMOylation of EphB1 suppressed cell proliferation, anchorage-independent cell growth, and xenograft tumor growth. Mechanistic study showed that SUMOylation of EphB1 repressed activation of its downstream signaling molecule PKCγ, and consequently inhibited tumorigenesis. A reciprocal regulatory loop between PKCγ and SUMOylation of EphB1 was also characterized. Conclusion Our findings identify SUMO1 as a novel key regulator of EphB1-mediated tumorigenesis.
