Here, we show that the small C-terminal domain phosphatase 1/2/3 (SCP1/2/3) dephosphorylate PML at Ser518, thereby blocking PML ubiquitination and degradation mediated by peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase Pin1 and KLHL20-based ubiquitin ligase. Clinically, SCP1 and SCP3 are downregulated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and these downregulations correlate with PMLSer518 phosphorylation, PML downregulation, and high-grade tumor. Restoration of SCP1-mediated PML stabilization not only inhibits multiple malignant features of ccRCC, such as proliferation, migration, invasion, tumor growth in vivo, and angiogenesis, but also suppresses the mTOR/HIF pathway. Furthermore, blockage of PML degradation in ccRCC by SCP1 overexpression or Pin1 inhibition enhances the tumor suppressive effects of mTOR inhibitor temsirolimus. Our study identifies a PML degradation pathway in ccRCC through SCP downregulation, reveals the contribution of this pathway to ccRCC progression, and suggests a rationale for combinatory therapy that targets PML degradation and mTOR for ccRCC.3967783 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間: 2016/2/3論文使用權限: 同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)PMLSCPs去磷酸化Pin1mTOR/HIF腎透明細胞癌SCPdephosphorylationclear cell renal cell carcinoma[SDGs]SDG3SCPs調控PML及mTOR/HIF進而抑制腎細胞癌進程之機制研究SCPs suppress renal cell carcinoma by regulating PML and mTOR/HIF pathwaythesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/272368/1/ntu-103-D97b46006-1.pdf
