Abstract BACKGROUND:Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has a close relation with cancer progression. Blocking the adaptive pathway of ER stress could be an anticancer strategy. Here, we identified an ER stress-related gene, Transducin beta-like 2 (TBL2), an ER-localized type I transmembrane protein, on increased chromosome 7q as a candidate driver gene of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
METHODS:The association between TBL2 mRNA expression and prognostic outcomes and clinicopathological factors was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets of LUAD and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Localization of TBL2 in tumor tissues was observed by immunohistochemical staining. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted using TCGA dataset. In vitro cell proliferation assays were performed using TBL2 knockdown LUAD cells, LUSC cells, and LUAD cells overexpressing TBL2. Apoptosis and ATF4 expression (ER stress marker) were evaluated by western blotting.
RESULTS:TBL2 was overexpressed in LUAD and LUSC cells. Multivariate analysis indicated high TBL2 mRNA expression was an independent poor prognostic factor of LUAD. GSEA revealed high TBL2 expression was positively correlated to the ER stress response in LUAD. TBL2 knockdown attenuated LUAD cell proliferation under ER stress. TBL2 inhibited apoptosis in LUAD cells under ER stress. TBL2 knockdown reduced ATF4 expression under ER stress.
CONCLUSIONS:TBL2 may be a novel driver gene that facilitates cell proliferation, possibly by upregulating ATF4 expression followed by adaptation to ER stress, and it is a poor prognostic biomarker of LUAD.
