Ribosomal protein L23 negatively regulates cellular apoptosis via the RPL23/Miz-1/c-Myc circuit in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
Abstract Ribosomal protein (RP) L23 is a negative regulator of cellular apoptosis, and RPL23 overexpression is associated with abnormal apoptotic resistance in CD34+ cells derived from patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, the mechanism underlying RPL23-induced apoptotic...

| Sumario: | Abstract Ribosomal protein (RP) L23 is a negative regulator of cellular apoptosis, and RPL23 overexpression is associated with abnormal apoptotic resistance in CD34+ cells derived from patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, the mechanism underlying RPL23-induced apoptotic resistance in higher-risk MDS patients is poorly understood. In this study, we showed that reduced RPL23 expression led to suppressed cellular viability, increased apoptosis and G1-S cell cycle arrest. Gene microarray analysis comparing RPL23-knockdown and control cells identified an array of differentially expressed genes, of which, Miz-1, was upregulated with transactivation of the cell cycle inhibitors p15Ink4b and p21Cip1, and Miz-1’s functional repressor, c-Myc, was downregulated. Cells derived from higher-risk MDS patients demonstrated consistently increased expression of RPL23 and c-Myc and decreased Miz-1 expression compared with cells from lower-risk patients. In conclusion, Miz-1-dependent induction of p15Ink4b and p21Cip1 was depressed with decreased Miz-1 and increased c-Myc expression under conditions of elevated RPL23 expression, leading to apoptotic resistance in higher-risk MDS patients. Because RPL23 is encoded by a target gene of c-Myc, the RPL23/Miz-1/c-Myc regulatory circuit provides a feedback loop that links efficient RPL23 expression with c-Myc’s function to suppress Miz-1-induced Cdk inhibitors and thereby leads to apoptotic resistance in higher-risk MDS patients. |
