ABSTRACT
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Understanding the underlying mechanism driving CRC progression and identifying potential therapeutic drug targets are of utmost urgency. We previously utilized LC-MS-based proteomic profiling to identify proteins associated with postoperative progression in stage II/III CRC. Here, we revealed that proteasome subunit beta type-1 (PSMB1) is an independent predictor for postoperative progression in stage II/III CRC. Mechanistically, PSMB1 binds directly to onco-protein RAB34 and promotes its proteasome-dependent degradation, potentially leading to the inactivation of the MEK/ERK signaling pathway and inhibition of CRC progression. To further identify potential anticancer drugs, we screened a library of 2509 FDA-approved drugs using computer-aided drug design (CADD) and identified Kinetin as a potentiating agent for PSMB1. Functional assays confirmed that Kinetin enhanced the interaction between PSMB1 and RAB34, hence facilitated the degradation of RAB34 protein and decreased the MEK/ERK phosphorylation. Kinetin suppresses CRC progression in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and liver metastasis models. Conclusively, our study identifies PSMB1 as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC, and Kinetin as an anticancer drug by enhancing proteasome-dependent onco-protein degradation.
