The importin beta superfamily member RanBP17 exhibits a role in cell proliferation and is associated with improved survival of patients with HPV+ HNSCC
BACKGROUND: More than twenty years after its discovery, the role of the importin beta superfamily member Ran GTP-binding protein (RanBP) 17 is still ill defined. Previously, we observed notable RanBP17 RNA expression levels in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines with disruptive...

description | BACKGROUND: More than twenty years after its discovery, the role of the importin beta superfamily member Ran GTP-binding protein (RanBP) 17 is still ill defined. Previously, we observed notable RanBP17 RNA expression levels in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines with disruptive TP53 mutations. METHODS: We deployed HNSCC cell lines as well as cell lines from other tumor entities such as HCT116, MDA-MB-231 and H460, which were derived from colon, breast and lung cancers respectively. RNAi was used to evaluate the effect of RanBP17 on cell proliferation. FACS analysis was used for cell sorting according to their respective cell cycle phase and for BrdU assays. Immunocytochemistry was deployed for colocalization studies of RanBP17 with Nucleolin and SC35 (nuclear speckles) domains. TCGA analysis was performed for prognostic assessment and correlation analysis of RanBP17 in HNSCC patients. RESULTS: RNAi knockdown of RanBP17, significantly reduced cell proliferation in HNSCC cell lines. This effect was also seen in the HNSCC unrelated cell lines HCT116 and MDA-MB-231. Similarly, inhibiting cell proliferation with cisplatin reduced RanBP17 in keratinocytes but lead to induction in tumor cell lines. A similar observation was made in tumor cell lines after treatment with the EGFR kinase inhibitor AG1478. In addition to previous reports, showing colocalization of RanBP17 with SC35 domains, we observed colocalization of RanBP17 to nuclear bodies that are distinct from nucleoli and SC35 domains. Interestingly, for HPV positive but not HPV negative HNSCC, TCGA data base analysis revealed a strong positive correlation of RanBP17 RNA with patient survival and CDKN2A. CONCLUSIONS: Our data point to a role of RanBP17 in proliferation of HNSCC and other epithelial cells. Furthermore, RanBP17 could potentially serve as a novel prognostic marker for HNSCC patients. However, we noted a major discrepancy between RanBP17 RNA and protein expression levels with the used antibodies. These observations could be explained by the presence of additional RanBP17 splice isoforms and more so of non-coding circular RanBP17 RNA species. These aspects need to be addressed in more detail by future studies. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12885-022-09854-0. |
