Bhubaneswar-based
researchers have discovered that activation of a particular protein (TRIM16)
can turn out to be a potential therapeutic intervention strategy for
neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS). At the same time, inhibiting
this protein in cancer cells can bring about a reduction in tumour
proliferation. The results were published in The EMBO Journal. Studies carried
out in test tubes and in mice models have shown that the protein has the
ability to protect cancer cells from oxidative stress and inhibiting this
protein can therefore lead to reduced tumour growth. Normally, about 30% of
newly synthesised proteins in a cell can end up being misfolded, which are then
degraded and removed from the cell. Genetic mutations and stress (both cellular
and environmental) can increase the rate of misfolding. When the amount of
misfolded proteins far exceeds the capacity of cells to degrade and clear them,
the cells tend to aggregate the misfolded proteins to reduce toxicity. Though
protein aggregates are less toxic to cells, they too can turn toxic if the
aggregates increase in number and size, which is what is seen in the case of
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS.

aggregates increase in number and size, which is what is seen in the case of
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS.
A team of
researchers led by Santosh Chauhan from the Cell Biology and Infectious
Diseases Unit at the Institute of Life Sciences, Bhubaneswar, has identified a
novel mechanism by which misfolded proteins form aggregates and get degraded in
the cell. They found the TRIM16 protein playing a role both in the formation of
protein aggregates and in their degradation. Protein aggregates are formed when
the TRIM16 protein activates a particular pathway (P62-NRF2), while protein
aggregates get degraded when TRIM16 enhances a different pathway (autophagy).
Autophagy is a process of degrading the unwanted material to clean the cells
and keep them healthy. “The current strategy is to use small molecules to
enhance the autophagy process to destroy protein aggregates. But small
molecules are non-specific and can target other pathways too,” says Dr.
Chauhan. “Pharmacological activation of TRIM16 protein, on the other hand, will
be more specific for therapeutic targeting of neurodegenerative diseases.” When
more TRIM16 protein is produced by activation, autophagy gets enhanced leading
to higher rate of protein aggregate degradation. Since cancer cells proliferate
rapidly unlike normal cells, plenty of metabolic waste gets generated and
accumulated inside cancer cells. In this study, the researchers have shown that
cancer cells via TRIM16 can hijack both the autophagy and P62-NRF2 pathways to
keep the cells clean and survive in harsh conditions. The P62-NRF2 pathway
detoxifies the reactive oxygen species-related metabolic waste.

When the
TRIM16 activity was reduced in cancer cells in vitro, the capacity to
proliferate was reduced. “The cancer cells were able to grow normally when the
researchers added (complemented) TRIM16 protein, thus validating the crucial
role of TRIM16 in cancer cell growth,” says Kautilya Kumar Jena from the
Institute’s Cell Biology and Infectious Diseases Unit and first author of the
paper. In the case of animal studies, the researchers first removed (knockout)
the TRIM16 protein from cancer cells and then introduced the cancer cells into mice
models. “Compared with controls, tumour growth was drastically reduced in mice
when cancer cells did not have the TRIM16 protein,” says Dr. Chauhan. “If we
pharmacologically decrease the activity of TRIM16 in cancer cells then tumour
growth can be inhibited.”
