The relationship between RSUME and small ubiquitin related modifiers of HIF-1α with invasive pituitary adenomas / 中国神经精神疾病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective AIM:To study whether the RWD containing sumoylation enhancer (RSUME) enhanced small ubiquitin related modifiers (SUMO) to competitively inhibit Ubiquitin B (UBB)-mediated degradation of hypoxia hypoxia-inducible factor 1α.(HIF-1α) and the invasive pituitary adenomas.Methods The expression of protein and mRNA levels of RSUME,SUMO-1,UBB and HIF-1α were detected by using immunohistochemistry,western blot and qPCR in 38 cases of non-invasive pituitary adenoma,38 cases of invasive pituitary adenomas and 10 cases of normal pituitary capsule.The expression of SUMO-1 was analyzed in different types of pituitary adenomas.Results The protein,and mRNA levels of RSUME,SUMO-HIF-1αwere significantly higher in the invasive pituitary adenomas than in the non-invasive pituitary adenomas and normal pituitary capsule (P＜0.01).The protein and mRNA levels of RSUME,SUMO-HIF-1αwas higher in non-invasive pituitary adenomas than in normal pituitary capsule(P＜0.01).However,the protein levels of UBB-HIF-1α were significantly lower in the invasive pituitary adenomas than in the non-invasive pituitary adenomas and normal pituitary capsule (P＜0.01).The protein of UBB-HIF-1α were lower in non-invasive pituitary adenomas than in normal pituitary capsule (P＜0.01).The expression levels of SUMO were not significantly different among different types of pituitary adenomas (P＞0.05).Conclusion RSUM may increase pituitary adenomas angiogenesis and promote tumor invasion through enhancement of SUMO of HIF-1α which competitively inhibits ubiquitination of HIF-1 α.
