RNA‐Binding Protein IGF2BP2/IMP2 is a Critical Maternal Activator in Early Zygotic Genome Activation

et al. 2019

A number of genes involved in zygotic genome activation (ZGA) have been identified, but the RNA‐binding maternal factors that are directly related to ZGA in mice remain unclear. The present study shows that maternal deletion of Igf 2bp2 (also commonly known as Imp2 ) in mouse embryos causes early embryonic developmental arrest in vitro at the 2‐cell‐stage. Transcriptomics and proteomics analyses of 2‐cell‐stage embryos in mice reveal that deletion of IMP2 downregulates the expression of Ccar1 and Rps14 , both of which are required for early embryonic developmental competence. IGF2, a target of IMP2, when added in culture media, increases the proportion of wild‐type embryos that develop successfully to the blastocyst stage: from 29% in untreated controls to 65% (50 × 10 −9 m IGF2). Furthermore, in an experiment related to embryo transfer, foster mothers receiving IGF2‐treated embryos deliver more pups per female than females who receive untreated control embryos. In clinically derived human oocytes, the addition of IGF2 to the culture media significantly enhances the proportion of embryos that develop successfully. Collectively, the findings demonstrate that IMP2 is essential for the regulation and activation of genes known to be involved in ZGA and reveal the potential embryonic development‐related utility of IGF2 for animal biotechnology and for assisted reproduction in humans.

AS1411-Induced Growth Inhibition of Glioma Cells by Up-Regulation of p53 and Down-Regulation of Bcl-2 and Akt1 via Nucleolin

AS1411 binds nucleolin (NCL) and is the first oligodeoxynucleotide aptamer to reach phase I and II clinical trials for the treatment of several cancers. However, the mechanisms by which AS1411 targets and kills glioma cells and tissues remain unclear. Here we report that AS1411 induces cell apoptosis and cycle arrest, and inhibits cell viability by up-regulation of p53 and down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Akt1 in human glioma cells. NCL was overexpressed in both nucleus and cytoplasm in human glioma U87, U251 and SHG44 cells compared to normal human astrocytes (NHA). AS1411 bound NCL and inhibited the proliferation of glioma cells but not NHA, which was accompanied with up-regulation of p53 and down-regulation of Bcl-2 and Akt1. Moreover, AS1411 treatment resulted in the G2/M cell cycle arrest in glioma cells, which was however abolished by overexpression of NCL. Further, AS1411 induced cell apoptosis, which was prevented by silencing of p53 and overexpression of Bcl-2. In addition, AS1411 inhibited the migration and invasion of glioma cells in an Akt1-dependent manner. Importantly, AS1411 inhibited the growth of glioma xenograft and prolonged the survival time of glioma tumor-bearing mice. These results revealed a promising treatment of glioma by oligodeoxynucleotide aptamer.

“…IGF2BP2 has been recently reported to be overexpressed in several types of solid cancers [9,10]. IGF2BP2 overexpression promotes glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) progression by activating the IGF2/PI3K/Akt pathway and makes GBM resistant to temozolomide treatment [11]. In addition, IGF2BP2 promotes hepatocarcinogenesis by inducing inflammation [12].…”

Background/Aims: IGF2BP2 has been reported to serve as an oncogene in various solid cancers. However, the role of IGF2BP2 in acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) is still unknown. Methods: Public databases Gene Omnibus was used to evaluate the expression of IGF2BP2 in AML patients and healthy controls. In addition, primary cells from these two populations were prepared by Ficoll density centrifugation. Rt-qPCR and western blot were used to detect IGF2BP2 expression in the primary cells from these two populations. Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association of IGF2BP2 and prognosis. Lentivirus-based shRNAs were used to knock down IGF2BP2 in AML cell lines KG-1a and Kasumi. Results: We searched the public database Gene Omnibus and analyzed IGF2BP2 expression in both AML and healthy populations. The results showed that IGF2BP2 was overexpressed in AML patients. To verify this phenomenon in fresh human samples, we compared the expression of IGF2BP2 in primary cells from 10 AML patients and 10 healthy controls and found that the expression of IGF2BP2 was upregulated in AML primary cells. More importantly, we observed that IGF2BP2 expression was negatively correlated with the CEBPA mutation status, which is an indicator of good prognosis (RR=0.648, p=0.0001). In addition, IGF2BP2 expression was positively associated with poor prognostic factors, such as the FLT3-ITD mutation (RR=1.198, p=0.0009) and IDH1 mutation (RR=1.354, p=0.0003), as well as intermediate and poor cytogenetic risk (RR=1.214, p=0.0026). To evaluate the prognostic value of IGF2BP2 in AML, we further performed a meta-analysis of 8 studies consisting of 1731 patients and found that IGF2BP2 overexpression was correlated with worse overall survival in AML patients [HR=1.31(1.16-1.49); p = 0.00]. Furthermore, we performed Gene Omnibus and Gene Set Enrichment analyses and found that the genes regulated by IGF2BP2 were mainly enriched in cell proliferation. IGF2BP2 knockdown by 4 different shRNA vectors significantly inhibited the growth of two AML cell lines, KG-1a and Kasumi. Conclusion: Thus, IGF2BP2 may serve as a biomarker to predict the prognosis of AML and as a potential target in AML.
