ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
RING Finger Protein 115 (RNF115), a notable E3 ligase, is known to modulate tumorigenesis and metastasis. In our investigation, we endeavor to unravel the putative function and inherent mechanism through which RNF115 influences the evolution of thyroid carcinoma (THCA).METHODS:
We analyzed RNF115 expression in THCA using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The influence of RNF115 on the progression of THCA was evaluated using both in vitro and in vivo experimental approaches. The protein regulated by RNF115 was identified through bioinformatics analysis, and its biological significance was further explored.RESULTS:
In both THCA tissues and cells, RNF115 showed elevated expression levels. Enhanced expression of RNF115 fostered cell proliferation, tumor growth, and the exacerbation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in THCA, while also promoting tumor lung metastasis. Bioinformatics analysis identified cyclin-dependent kinase 10 (CDK10) as a downstream target of RNF115, which was found to be ubiquitinated and degraded by RNF115 in THCA cells. Functionally, overexpression of CDK10 was found to counteract the promotion of malignant phenotype in THCA induced by RNF115. From a mechanistic perspective, RNF115 activated the Raf-1 pathway and enhanced cancer cell cycle progression by degrading CDK10 in THCA cells.CONCLUSION:
RNF115 triggers cell proliferation, EMT, and tumor metastasis by ubiquitinating and degrading CDK10. The regulation of the Raf-1 pathway and cell cycle progression in THCA may be profoundly influenced by this process.Palabras clave
