Gpnmb Promotes The Progression Of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Via Yap1-Mediated Activation Of The Wnt/Beta-Catenin Signaling Pathway
ARCHIVES OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND BIOPHYSICS(2021)
Abstract
Glycoprotein non-metastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) has been confirmed to be related to the pathogenesis of tumors. However, the potential impact of GPNMB on the progression of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is unclear. In this study, the expression levels of GPNMB and Yes-associated protein (YAP) were analyzed using qRT-PCT and Western blot assay. Cell counting kit-8, EdU, and flow cytometry assays were used to detect the proliferation and apoptosis of DLBCL cells. A nude mice xenograft model was established for in vivo research. Results showed that GPNMB and YAP1 were upregulated in DLBCL cell lines. Knockdown of GPNMB inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis in DLBCL cells. Additionally, the expression levels of YAP1 and the downstream effector of Hippo pathway (c-myc) were markedly decreased when GPNMB was knocked down. Moreover, knockdown of GPNMB inhibited the nuclear translocation of beta-catenin protein, which could be abolished by YAP1 overexpression. Simultaneously, the anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of GPNMB knockdown could be reversed by YAP1 overexpression or LiCl (the activator of Wnt/beta-catenin pathway). Furthermore, the mice xenograft model confirmed that inhibition of GPNMB restrained the tumorigenesis of DLBCL in vivo. In conclusion, GPNMB could partly activate the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway by targeting YAP1, so as to participate in tumorigenesis of DLBCL.
