NUMB Phosphorylation Destabilizes p53 and Promotes Self-renewal of Tumor-Initiating Cells by NANOG-dependent Mechanism in Liver Cancer #MMPMID26174965

Stem cell populations are maintained through self-renewing divisions in which one daughter cell commits to a particular fate while the other retains the multipotent characteristics of its parent. The NUMB, a tumor suppressor, in conjunctions with another tumor suppressor protein p53, preserves this property and acts as a barrier against deregulated expansion of Tumor-associated stem cells. In this context, NUMB-p53 interaction plays a crucial role to maintain the proper homeostasis of both stem cells, as well as differentiated cells. As the molecular mechanism governing the assembly and stability of the NUMB-p53 interaction/complex are poorly understood, we tried to identify the molecule/s govern this process. Using cancer cell lines, tumor-initiating cells (TICs) of liver, the mouse model and clinical samples, we identified that phosphorylations of NUMB destabilize p53 and promotes self-renewal of TICs by pluripotency-associated transcription factor NANOG dependent manner. NANOG phosphorylates NUMB via aPKC?, through the direct induction of Aurora A kinase (AURKA) and the repression of an aPKC? inhibitor, LGL-2. By radioactivity based kinase activity assays, we showed that NANOG enhances kinase activities of both AURKA and aPKC?, an important upstream process for NUMB phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of NUMB by aPKC? destabilizes the NUMB-p53 interaction, p53 proteolysis and to deregulate self-renewal in TICs.Conclusion: Posttranslational modification of NUMB by NANOG-AURKA-aPKC? pathway is an important event in TICs self-renewal and tumorigenesis. Hence, our work identifies the NANOG-NUMB-p53 signaling axis is an important regulatory pathway for TICS event in TICs self-renewal and liver tumorigenesis and suggest a therapeutic strategy by targeting NUMB-phosphorylation. However, further in depth in vivo and clinical studies are warranted to verify this suggestion.
