Downregulation of calbindin 1, a calcium-binding protein, reduces the proliferation of osteosarcoma cells

Abstract: Abstract. Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor and has a high propensity to metastasize to the lungs and bones. Calbindin 1 (CALB1) is a constituent Ca 2+ binding protein, which can prevent apoptotic death in several cell types induced through various pro-apoptotic signaling pathways. To investigate whether CALB1 is implicated in the tumor growth of human osteosarcoma, two different short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) against CALB1 were used for CALB1-knockdown in osteosarcoma U2OS cell… Show more

“…However, alternative Ca 2+ -sensing functions have also been proposed for calbindin, with the identification of several binding partners ( 66 , 67 ). While the physiological relevance of calbindin-binding partners remains unclear ( 66 , 67 ), recent in vitro studies support an oncogenic role for the canonical isoform of calbindin, with one study implicating binding to the E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2 ( 60 , 68 , 69 ). Moreover, chimeric HERVH-CALB1 transcripts detected in human ES cells and preimplantation embryos raise the possibility that ectopic expression of calbindin, particularly in the epiblast as detected here and in a recent report ( 28 ), may represent an exaptation event that contributes to normal human embryo development.…”

“…CALB1 is overexpressed in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues, and has a significant connection with lymph node metastasis and prediction of worse survival ( 56 ). In osteosarcoma, the downregulation of CALB1 gene expression resulted in reduced cell proliferation and cell clonal formation ( 57 ). In this study, CALB1 was verified to be an independent risk factor for prognosis.…”

“…Calcium-binding proteins play a vital role in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and signalling through diverse mechanisms, including modulation of intracellular calcium levels and transduction of intracellular [Ca 2+ ] signals [25,26]. CaBPs can also regulate energy metabolism, enzyme activity, cell proliferation and differentiation [27][28][29]. In particular, the deregulated expression of calmodulin, S100A8, S100A14, calbindin-D28k (CaBP28k) has been associated with cell survival and apoptotic pathways in several cancer models [30][31][32][33].…”
