Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are important players in cellular signaling pathways. Recently, it has been shown that CacyBP/SIP serves as a phosphatase for one of the MAP kinases, ERK1/2. Through dephosphorylation of this kinase CacyBP/SIP modulates the transcriptional activity of Elk-1 and the activity of the CREB-BDNF pathway. In this work, using NB2a cell lysate and recombinant proteins, we show that CacyBP/SIP binds and dephosphorylates another member of the MAP kinase family, p38. Analysis of recombinant full-length CacyBP/SIP and its three major domains, N-terminal, middle CS and C-terminal SGS, indicates that the middle CS domain is responsible for p38 dephosphorylation. Moreover, we show that CacyBP/SIP might be implicated in response to oxidative stress. Dephosphorylation of phospho-p38 by CacyBP/SIP in NB2a cells treated with hydrogen peroxide is much more effective than in control ones. In conclusion, involvement of CacyBP/SIP in the regulation of p38 kinase activity, in addition to that of ERK1/2, might point to the function of CacyBP/SIP in pro-survival and pro-apoptotic pathways.

Testicular cancer accounts for approximately 5 % of all urologic cancers. The most common histopathological diagnosis of testicular neoplastic lesions are germ cell tumors (90-95 % of cases), among which the majority of cases are seminomas, the most common malignant tumors among men aged 15-44. For better clinical diagnosis and treatment, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms of tumor formation.

Taking into account homeostatic disorders resulting from arterial hypertension and the key importance of CacyBP/SIP, β-catenin and endocannabinoids in the functioning of many organs, it was decided to assess the presence and distribution of CacyBP/SIP, β-catenin, CB1 and CB2 in the adrenal glands of hypertensive rats of various aetiology. The study was conducted on the adrenal glands of rats with spontaneous and renovascular hypertension. The expression of CacyBP/SIP, β-catenin, CB1 and CB2 was detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR method.

Hypertension is a global civilization disease and one of the most common causes of death in the world. Organ dysfunction is a serious health consequence of hypertension, which involves damage to the heart, kidneys and adrenals. The interaction of recently discovered multifunctional protein-CacyBP/SIP with ERK1/2 and p38 kinases by regulating the activity and intracellular localization of these kinases may play an important role in the signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Background: Despite remarkable advancements in cancer immunotherapy, the overall response rate to anti-programmed cell death-1 (anti-PD-1) therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients remains low. Our previous study has demonstrated the critical role of CacyBP/SIP (Calcyclin-Binding Protein and Siah-1 Interacting Protein) as a regulator of HCC development and progression. However, the possible impact of CacyBP on the tumor immune microenvironment has not yet been clarified.

The prognosis for patients with RCC is very poor because this cancer is diagnosed mainly in the metastatic stage and is resistant to radio- and chemotherapy. According to recent research, CacyBP/SIP exhibits phosphatase activity against MAPK and may be involved in many cellular processes. This function has not been studied in RCC so far, so we decided to test whether CacyBP/SIP has phosphatase function against ERK1/2 and p38 in high-grade clear cell RCC.
