Background: Proteins are able to react in response to distinct stress stimuli by alteration of their subcellular distribution. The stress-responsive protein S100A11 belongs to the family of multifunctional S100 proteins which have been implicated in several key biological processes. Previously, we have shown that S100A11 is directly involved in DNA repair processes at damaged chromatin in the nucleus. To gain further insight into the underlying mechanism subcellular trafficking of S100A11 in response to DNA damage was analyzed.

Results: We show that DNA damage induces a nucleolin-mediated translocation of S100A11 from the cytoplasm into the nucleus. This translocation is impeded by inhibition of the phosphorylation activity of PKCα. Translocation of S100A11 into the nucleus correlates with an increased cellular p21 protein level. Depletion of nucleolin by siRNA severely impairs translocation of S100A11 into the nucleus resulting in a decreased p21 protein level. Additionally, cells lacking nucleolin showed a reduced colony forming capacity.

Conclusions: These observations suggest that regulation of the subcellular distribution of S100A11 plays an important role in the DNA damage response and p21-mediated cell cycle control.

Background: Tumourigenesis in right-sided and left-sided colons demonstrated distinct features.

Objective: We aimed to characterise the differences between the left-sided and right-sided adenomas (ADs) representing the early stage of colonic tumourigenesis.

Design: Single-cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets were analysed to reveal alterations between right-sided and left-sided colon ADs.

Compiling evidence has indicated that S100A11 expression at high levels is closely associated with various cancer species. Consistent with the results reported elsewhere, we have also revealed that S100A11 is highly expressed in squamous cell carcinoma, mesothelioma, and pancreatic cancers and plays a crucial role in cancer progression when secreted into extracellular fluid. Those studies are all focused on the extracellular role of S100A11.

Although early diagnosis and therapeutic advances have transformed the living quality and outcome of cancer patients, the poor prognosis for metastatic patients has not been significantly improved. Mechanisms underlying the complexity of metastasis cannot be simply determined by the straightforward 'cause-and-effect relationships'. We have developed a 'dry-lab-driven knowledge discovery and wet-lab validation' approach to embrace the complexity of cancer and metastasis.

The resealing factor S100A11 interacts with annexins and extended synaptotagmin-1 in the course of plasma membrane wound repair.

After damage, cells repair their plasma membrane in an active process that is driven by Ca entering through the wound. This triggers a range of Ca-regulated events such as the translocation of different Ca-binding proteins to the wound site which likely function in the repair process. The translocated proteins include Ca/phospholipid binding proteins of the annexin (ANX) family and S100A11, an EF hand-type Ca-binding protein which can interact with ANX.
