Thyroid cancer (THCA) is one of the most common endocrine tumors and keeps rapidly increasing worldwide. Acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member E (ANP32E) is a H2A.Z histone chaperone that regulates the expression of various genes. It has been shown that ANP32E promotes breast cancer development, whereas its role in THCA remains unknown. In this study, we found that ANP32E was significantly overexpressed in THCA tissues. Down-regulation of ANP32E inhibited the growth, cell cycle progression, DNA synthesis, glycolysis, migration and increased apoptosis in K1 and TPC-1 cells. Opposite results were observed in ANP32E-overexpressing THCA cells. At the molecular level, ANP32E up-regulated MMP9 and MMP13, and activated AKT/mTOR/HK2 signaling in THCA cells. Positive correlation between ANP32E and HK2 was found in THCA tissues. Importantly, silencing of HK2 repressed glycolysis. Inhibition of AKT/mTOR reduced cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and migration in THCA cells. Our findings suggest that ANP32E promotes THCA cell proliferation and migration via potentiating AKT/mTOR/HK2-mediated glycolysis.

Acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member A (ANP32A) is an important host factor that supports the efficient replication of avian influenza viruses (AIVs). To develop an antiviral strategy against Gs/Gd-lineage H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses in chickens, we established chicken ANP32-knockout (chANP32A-KO) DF-1 cells and evaluated their antiviral efficacy through validation. The replication of all HPAI viruses tested in chANP32A-KO cells was significantly lower compared to that of wild-type DF-1 cells.

Esophageal cancer (EC) is associated with high mortality rates and widespread resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, like paclitaxel (PTX), posing a significant global public health challenge. ANP32E is a member of the acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family, its specific biological functions and mechanisms in EC remain unclear. Through bioinformatics analysis and clinical tissue sample studies, we observed a marked upregulation of ANP32E expression in EC tissues.

Species-specific differences in acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member A (ANP32A) determine the restriction of avian-signature polymerase in mammalian cells. Mutations that evade this restriction, such as PB2-E627K, are frequently acquired when avian influenza A viruses jump from avian hosts to mammalian hosts. However, the mechanism underlying this adaptation process is still unclear.

ANP32B, a member of the acidic leucine-rich nuclear phosphoprotein 32 kDa (ANP32) family of proteins, is critical for normal development because its constitutive knockout mice are perinatal lethal. It is also shown that ANP32B acts as a tumor-promoting gene in some kinds of cancer such as breast cancer and chronic myelogenous leukemia. Herein, we observe that ANP32B is lowly expressed in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients, which correlates with poor prognosis.

Acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member e (Anp32e) has been reported to contribute to early mammalian development and cancer metastasis. However, the pathophysiological role of Anp32e in renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that Anp32e was highly expressed in the region of RIF in patients with IgA nephropathy, unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mouse kidneys, and Boston University mouse proximal tubular (BUMPT) cells when treated with TGF-β1; this upregulation was positively correlated with the total fibrotic area of the kidneys.
