Abstract
IRE-1α (inositol requiring enzyme-1α), the most evolutionarily conserved of the endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathways, is highly implicated in sustaining the proliferation of glioma cells and subsequent tumor growth, which is decreased by the inhibition of IRE-1α. To explore the IRE-1α mediated regulation of ubiquitin system in glioma cells, the expression of a subset of ubiquitin specific peptidases (USP) and of ubiquitin activating enzyme E1-like protein/autophagy related 7 (GSA7/ATG7) genes was studied, during hypoxic stress in wild type and U87 glioma cells with inhibited IRE-1α. Hypoxic treatment of wild type glioma cells leads to the up-regulation of USP25 and the concomitant downregulation of USP1, USP10, USP14, and GSA7 genes. USP4 and USP22 genes expression did not significantly change with hypoxic treatment. Inhibition of IRE-1α activity led to up-regulation of USP1, USP4, USP10, USP22, and USP25, while USP14 and GSA7 genes were down-regulated. Therefore, IRE-1α activity modifies substrate-targeting specificity to proteasome during hypoxic stress, which in turn can affect cell survival. Inhibition of IRE-1α correlates directly with deregulation of ubiquitin specific peptidases and GSA7 in a fashion that ultimately slows tumor growth.
