Heterochromatin Protein HP1γ Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression and Is Regulated by miR-30a

Abstract: Colorectal cancer pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Here, we report that the heterochromatin protein HP1g is upregulated commonly in human colorectal cancer, where it promotes cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Gene-expression and promoter-binding experiments demonstrated that HP1g directly regulated CDKN1A (p21 Waf1/Cip1 ) in a manner associated with methylation of histone H3K9 on its promoter. We identified miR-30a as a tumor-suppressive microRNA that targets HP1g in vitro and in vivo to sp… Show more

“…For example, miR-30a was found to target heterochromatin protein (HP1γ) and suppress colorectal cancer growth [40]. Similar results were revealed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), breast cancer, and gastric cancer [41][42][43], which suggested that miR-30a served as a tumor inhibitor.…”

“…Our data also showed that CS down-regulated various proteins, such as CBX3, HIST1H2AJ, and HMGN2, with recognized key roles in epigenetic control of chromatin structure and gene expression. Particularly, CBX3 has recently shown to promote colon cancer growth by directly repressing expression of p21, an inhibitor of cellular proliferation in response to DNA damage (54).…”

“…Lee et al [28] demonstrated that increased HP1β expression is associated with the poor prognosis in breast cancer, and HP1β is a potential predictive marker for PARP inhibitor therapy. Other studies have shown that HP1γ is upregulated in human colorectal cancer and promotes cell proliferation [29]. In addition, HP1γ expression is elevated in prostate cancer and represents a predictor of biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy [30].…”
