LUZP1 Controls Cell Division, Migration and Invasion Through Regulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton

Laura Bozal-Basterra, Maria Gonzalez-Santamarta, Veronica Muratore, Natalia Martin-Martin, Amaia Ercilla, Jose A. Rodriguez, Arkaitz Carracedo, James D. Sutherland, Rosa Barrio

Summary: LUZP1 exhibits frequent genomic aberrations in cancer, particularly gene deletions, and its loss promotes cell migration, invasion, apoptosis, and alterations in cell morphology. Additionally, LUZP1 plays regulatory roles beyond actin filament bundling, affecting actin polymerization through changes in ACTR3 and phospho-cofilin ratios. These findings suggest a novel role for LUZP1 in cancer regulation through actin cytoskeleton control.

Prospects of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy for Biomarker Monitoring toward Precision Medicine

Javier Plou, Pablo S. Valera, Isabel Garcia, Carlos D. L. de Albuquerque, Arkaitz Carracedo, Luis M. Liz-Marzan

Summary: Future precision medicine relies on the detection of validated biomarkers to classify patients accurately and predict disease risk, prognosis, and treatment response. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy, with its high sensitivity and label-free operation, is recognized as a promising technology for clinical monitoring and biomarker discovery. However, there are several variables that need to be considered for accurate SERS monitoring, especially when dealing with biological sources.

Implication of Ceramide Kinase/C1P in Cancer Development and Progression

Laura Camacho, Alberto Ouro, Ana Gomez-Larrauri, Arkaitz Carracedo, Antonio Gomez-Munoz

Summary: This review highlights the relevance of ceramide kinase (CERK) and ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) in tumorigenesis and tumor dissemination. C1P, produced by CERK, acts directly on intracellular targets and can also be secreted into extracellular space to interact with sites at the plasma membrane of cells. C1P regulates cancer cell growth, survival, invasion, and migration, and has been implicated in the control of inflammatory responses.

Shawn M. Davidson, Daniel R. Schmidt, Julia E. Heyman, James P. O. 'Brien, Amy C. Liu, William J. Israelsen, Talya L. Dayton, Raghav Sehgal, Roderick T. Bronson, Elizaveta Freinkman, Howard H. Mak, Giuseppe Nicolo Fanelli, Scott Malstrom, Gary Bellinger, Arkaitz Carracedo, Pier Paolo Pandolfi, Kevin D. Courtney, Abhishek Jha, Ronald A. DePinho, James W. Horner, Craig J. Thomas, Lewis C. Cantley, Massimo Loda, Matthew G. Vander Heiden

Summary: This study reveals the impact of differential expression of pyruvate kinase isoforms on cancer initiation and progression. The M2 splice isoform of pyruvate kinase (PKM2) supports cancer cell proliferation and survival in prostate cancer, while the M1 isoform (PKM1) has a suppressive effect on tumor development. Alterations in nucleotide levels are observed in tumors with high PKM1 expression, leading to DNA replication stress and senescence which inhibits tumor progression. A small molecule pyruvate kinase activator that mimics the high activity PKM1-like state can suppress the progression of established prostate tumors.

High SOX9 Maintains Glioma Stem Cell Activity through a Regulatory Loop Involving STAT3 and PML

Paula Aldaz, Natalia Martin-Martin, Ander Saenz-Antonanzas, Estefania Carrasco-Garcia, Maria Alvarez-Satta, Alejandro Elua-Pinin, Steven M. Pollard, Charles H. Lawrie, Manuel Moreno-Valladares, Nicolas Sampron, Juergen Hench, Robin Lovell-Badge, Arkaitz Carracedo, Ander Matheu

Summary: SOX9 is a critical transcription factor associated with poor survival in glioma patients. Knockdown of SOX9 impairs glioma stem cell proliferation, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target. This study reveals a regulatory loop involving SOX9, STAT3, and PML that is essential for glioma stem cell activity and self-renewal. Inhibition of STAT3 or PML reduces the expression of SOX9, STAT3, and PML proteins, leading to decreased tumorigenicity in glioma stem cells.

PI3K-regulated Glycine N-methyltransferase is required for the development of prostate cancer

Amaia Zabala-Letona, Amaia Arruabarrena-Aristorena, Sonia Fernandez-Ruiz, Cristina Viera, Onintza Carlevaris, Amaia Ercilla, Isabel Mendizabal, Teresa Martin, Alice Macchia, Laura Camacho, Mikel Pujana-Vaquerizo, Pilar Sanchez-Mosquera, Veronica Torrano, Natalia Martin-Martin, Patricia Zuniga-Garcia, Mireia Castillo-Martin, Aitziber Ugalde-Olano, Ana Loizaga-Iriarte, Miguel Unda, Jose M. Mato, Edurne Berra, Maria L. Martinez-Chantar, Arkaitz Carracedo

Summary: This study investigates the regulation and function of Glycine N-Methyltransferase (GNMT) in prostate cancer and discovers that the enzyme is repressed when the oncogenic PI3K pathway is activated, adding complexity to its dependency on androgen signaling. Additionally, the study demonstrates the requirement of GNMT expression for the onset of invasive prostate cancer in a genetic mouse model.

Metabolism in the tumor cell and beyond

Arkaitz Carracedo

Summary: The process of cellular transformation involves the acquisition of key features known as hallmarks of cancer, which are supported by molecular alterations and changes in the microenvironment. Cellular metabolism is a crucial link between a cell and its environment, and metabolic adaptation is an increasingly important research field in cancer biology.

Machine Learning-Assisted High-Throughput SERS Classification of Cell Secretomes

Javier Plou, Pablo S. Valera, Isabel Garcia, David Vila-Liarte, Carlos Renero-Lecuna, Jesus Ruiz-Cabello, Arkaitz Carracedo, Luis M. Liz-Marzan

Summary: During the response to stress, damaged cells release metabolites and secretomes, which can be utilized in anticancer therapies and biomarker predictions. However, monitoring these processes is challenging, leading to the development of noninvasive secretome screening tools. Machine learning methods and microfluidic chips were used to identify secretome variations and classify cell death, allowing for faster implementation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) into cell secretome classification.

Summary: New evidence suggests that epitranscriptomic marks play an important role in cancer development, but the role and implications of altered epitranscriptome deposition in prostate cancer are largely unknown. This study demonstrates that the transfer RNA N-7-methylguanosine (m(7)G) transferase METTL1 is highly expressed in prostate tumors and its depletion leads to the loss of m(7)G tRNA methylation and the formation of small non-coding RNAs derived from 5'tRNA fragments. These small RNAs regulate translation control and favor the synthesis of key regulators and immune effectors, impacting tumor growth suppression and response to immunotherapy in prostate cancer models.
