Recent studies have shown that spindle and kinetochore-associated protein 2 (SKA2) is dysregulated in multiple tumors and acts as a key regulator of tumor progression. However, whether SKA2 plays a role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to explore the expression, function and underlying molecular mechanism of SKA2 in HCC. We found that SKA2 was highly expressed in HCC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of SKA2 caused marked reductions in the proliferative, colony-forming and invasive capacities of HCC cells, while SKA2 overexpression had opposite effects...

Proline-rich protein 11 (PRR11) together with its upstream adjacent gene, spindle and kinetochore associated 2 (SKA2), represent a classic, head-to-head gene pair. The role of the PRR11 and SKA2 gene pair has been described in various types of cancer, including breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma. However, its role in esophageal carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. The mRNA expression levels of PRR11 and SKA2 were examined in ESCC surgical specimens. In addition, the role of PRR11 and SKA2 in the proliferation and migratory and invasive capacities of EC9706 and EC109 cell lines was examined...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive breast cancer subtype and lacks effective targeted therapies. Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (Cip2a) is an oncogene that is known to inhibit PP2A tumor suppressor activity in human malignancies. We previously demonstrated that Cip2a is a novel target for the treatment of TNBC. However, the functional roles of Cip2a in TNBC progression are still not fully characterized. In this study, we identified that miR-301a is a novel target of Cip2a in TNBC cell lines by miRNA microarray analysis...

Environmental stressors, such as childhood maltreatment, have been recognized to contribute to the development of depression. Growing evidence suggests that epigenetic changes are a key mechanism by which stressors interact with the genome leading to stable changes in DNA structure, gene expression, and behaviour. The current review aimed to evaluate the relationship between stress-associated epigenetic changes and depression. Human studies were identified via systematic searching of PubMed/Medline from inception to February 2018...

SKA2 (spindle and KT associated 2), also referred to as FAM33A (family with sequence similarity 33, member A), is a recently identified gene involved in cell cycle regulation, and growing evidence is implicating its roles in tumorigenesis and psychiatric disorders. It has been demonstrated that SKA2, along with its coworkers SKA1 and SKA3, constitutes the SKA complex which plays a critical role in the maintenance of the metaphase plate and/or spindle checkpoint silencing during mitosis. SKA2 is over-expressed both in cancer cell lines and clinical samples including small cell lung cancer and breast cancer, whereas downregulation of SKA2 is associated with depression and suicidal ideation...

Our previous study found that two novel cancer-related genes, PRR11 and SKA2, constituted a classic gene pair that was regulated by p53 and NF-Y in lung cancer. However, their role and regulatory mechanism in breast cancer remain elusive. In this study, we found that the expression levels of PRR11 and SKA2 were upregulated and have a negative prognotic value in breast cancer. Loss-of-function experiments showed that RNAi-mediated knockdown of PRR11 and/or SKA2 inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells...

Most of the multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are initially diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Th17 cells and macrophages have been shown to play critical roles in pathogenesis of MS and initiation of CNS tissue damage. MiR-301a have recently been exposed as an activator of STAT3 in Th17 cells as well as an activator of NF-κB in macrophages by targeting PIAS3 and NKRF correspondingly. However, the possible role of miR-301a in RRMS has not yet been elucidated. Herewith, for the first time, we have studied the expression of miR-301a, NKRF and PIAS3 by quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting method in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 71 RRMS patients, including two groups of patients in relapse phase (n = 44) and a group of remitting phase patients (n = 28) in comparison to healthy volunteers (n = 28)...

Accumulating evidence demonstrates that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) sprouty4-intron transcript 1 (lncRNA SPRY4-IT1) plays a vital role in the development of breast cancer. However, the underlying mechanism has not been eventually illuminated. We aimed to explore the biological activity of lncRNA SPRY4-IT1 in breast cancer cells and whether N-terminal polypeptide derived from viral macrophage inflammatory protein II (NT21MP) could exert its anti-tumor effect by regulating lncRNA SPRY4-IT1 and its target gene SKA2 Real-time RT-PCR, Western blotting, wound healing, and invasion assays were used to achieve this goal...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in human tumorigenesis as oncogenes or tumor suppressors by directly binding to the 3'-untranslated region of their target mRNAs. MiR-520d-3p has been reported as a tumor suppressor gene in ovarian cancer and gastric cancer, while the function of miR-520d-3p in human breast cancers is still uninvolved. In this study, we initially identified that the expression of miR-520d-3p was significantly reduced in breast cancer specimens and cell lines. The restoration of miR-520d-3p expression not only reduced breast cancer cell viability by causing the accumulation of G2 phase and cell apoptosis, but also inhibited tumorigenicity in vivo ...

Kinetochores move chromosomes on dynamic spindle microtubules and regulate signaling of the spindle checkpoint. The spindle- and kinetochore-associated (Ska) complex, a hexamer composed of two copies of Ska1, Ska2 and Ska3, has been implicated in both roles. Phosphorylation of kinetochore components by the well-studied mitotic kinases Cdk1, Aurora B, Plk1, Mps1, and Bub1 regulate chromosome movement and checkpoint signaling. Roles for the opposing phosphatases are more poorly defined. Recently, we showed that the C terminus of Ska1 recruits protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) to kinetochores...

Suicide remains a clear, present and increasing public health problem, despite being a potentially preventable tragedy. Its incidence is particularly high in people with overt or un(der)diagnosed psychiatric disorders. Objective and precise identification of individuals at risk, ways of monitoring response to treatments and novel preventive therapeutics need to be discovered, employed and widely deployed. We sought to investigate whether blood gene expression biomarkers for suicide (that is, a 'liquid biopsy' approach) can be identified that are more universal in nature, working across psychiatric diagnoses and genders, using larger cohorts than in previous studies...
