Background:

Palmitoyl transferases ZDHHCs and its mediated protein palmitoylation in several malignant tumors have been reported. However, the role in gastric cancer (GC) has not yet been fully elucidated.

Methods:

Various experimental techniques were employed to investigate the role of ZDHHCs and related protein palmitoylation in GC, mainly including acyl-biotinyl exchange assay, co-immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, western blot, immunofluorescence, and confocal imaging.

Results:

We identified widespread protein palmitoylation in GC, and the palmitoylation inhibitor 2-bromopalmitate was found to inhibit progression of GC in vitro. Screening of differentially expressed ZDHHCs revealed that abnormal overexpression of ZDHHC9 was associated with poor prognosis in GC patients. Silencing ZDHHC9 inhibited GC growth and induced apoptosis. Further, ZDHHC9 palmitoylated STAT1 at Cys577. More specifically, ZDHHC9 mediated STAT1 conversion of Cys577 S-palmitoylation and Tyr701 phosphorylation via the JAK1-STAT1 signaling pathway. Notably, palmitoylation of STAT1 at Cys577 is a key mediator of ZDHHC9-mediated GC progression, relying on nuclear pSTAT1-Tyr701 and its transcription of downstream genes.

Conclusions:

Taken together, ZDHHC9 promotes GC progression by regulating the conversion of STAT1 S-palmitoylation and phosphorylation, providing potential therapeutic targets for GC treatment.

Inhibition of Cdk Activity

Inhibition of Cdk Activity

The orderly progression of the cell cycle depends on the activation of Cdk protein by binding to its cyclin partner. However, the cell cycle must be restricted when undergoing abnormal changes. Most cancers correlate to the deregulated cell cycle, and since Cdks are a central component of the cell cycle, Cdk inhibitors are extensively studied to develop anticancer agents. For instance, cyclin D associates with several Cdks, such as Cdk 4/6, to form an active complex. The cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complex...

Abnormal Proliferation

Abnormal Proliferation

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...

Gastritis II: Pathophysiology

Gastritis II: Pathophysiology

The pathophysiology of gastritis begins with the colonization of the stomach lining by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). This bacterium spreads mainly via the oral-oral route through saliva or shared utensils, and can also be transmitted in overcrowded or unhygienic environments through contaminated water, despite its brief survival outside the body.ColonizationOnce ingested, H. pylori enters the stomach and begins colonization by navigating through the mucus layer lining the stomach wall. It...
