Tóm tắt

Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) is highly expressed in tumor cells and has been regarded as a hallmarker for cancers, but the excise regulatory mechanism of COX‐2 in tumorigenesis remains largely unknown. Here, we pulled down and identified a novel COX‐2 regulator, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNPA2/B1), which could specifically bind to COX‐2 core promoter and regulate tumor growth in non‐small‐cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Knockdown of hnRNPA2/B1 by shRNA or siRNA downregulated COX‐2 expression and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, and suppressed tumor cell growth in NSCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, overexpression of hnRNPA2/B1 up‐regulated the levels of COX‐2 and PGE2 and promoted tumor cell growth. We also showed that hnRNPA2/B1 expression was positively correlated with COX‐2 expression in NSCLC cell lines and tumor tissues, and the up‐regulated expression of hnRNPA2/B1 and COX‐2 predicted worse prognosis in NSCLC patients. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the activation of COX‐2 expression by hnRNPA2/B1 was mediated through the cooperation with p300, a transcriptional co‐activator, in NSCLC cells. The hnRNPA2/B1 could interact with p300 directly and be acetylated by p300. Exogenous overexpression of p300, but not its histone acetyltransferase (HAT) domain deletion mutation, augmented the acetylation of hnRNPA2/B1 and enhanced its binding on COX‐2 promoter, thereby promoted COX‐2 expression and lung cancer cell growth. Collectively, our results demonstrate that hnRNPA2/B1 promotes tumor cell growth by activating COX‐2 signaling in NSCLC cells and imply that the hnRNPA2/B1/COX‐2 pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for human lung cancers.
