Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading adult malignant tumor. Recent research has shown that speckle-type BTB/POZ protein (SPOP) mutant is the top frequently mutated gene in PCa, which makes it an important biomarker. In this paper, we aimed at identifying critical genes and pathways related to SPOP mutation in PCa. Recent The Cancer Genome Atlas data showed that 12% of patients with PCa were SPOP mutant. There were 1,570 differentially expressed genes, and online enrichment analysis showed that these genes were mainly enriched in metabolism, pathways in cancer and reactive oxygen species. INS, GNG13, IL6, HTR5A, SAA1, PPY, CXCR5, CXCL13, CD19 and CCL20 were identified as hub genes. The lower SPOP expression level was associated with poor prognosis. In all, our findings showed that various pathways and genes could play critical roles in SPOP mutation in PCa, providing potential options for individualized treatment.

Cul3 substrate adaptor SPOP targets Nup153 for degradation.

SPOP is a Cul3 substrate adaptor responsible for the degradation of many proteins related to cell growth and proliferation. Because mutation or misregulation of SPOP drives cancer progression, understanding the suite of SPOP substrates is important to understanding the regulation of cell proliferation. Here, we identify Nup153, a component of the nuclear basket of the nuclear pore complex, as a novel substrate of SPOP.

The androgen receptor (AR) is central in prostate tissue identity and differentiation, and controls normal growth-suppressive, prostate-specific gene expression. It also drives prostate tumorigenesis when hijacked for oncogenic transcription. The execution of growth-suppressive AR transcriptional programs in prostate cancer (PCa) and the potential for reactivation remain unclear.

Speckle-type POZ (SPOP) is described as an essential tumor suppressor factor in gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer (PCa). SPOP gene mutations were reported in primary human PCa. Isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) oncogene mutations were detected in gliomas, acute myeloid leukemia, some benign and malignant cartilaginous tumors, and only 1% of PCa.

Despite the abundance of somatic structural variations (SVs) in cancer, the underlying molecular mechanisms of their formation remain unclear. In the present study, we used 6,193 whole-genome sequenced tumors to study the contributions of transcription and DNA replication collisions to genome instability. After deconvoluting robust SV signatures in three independent pan-cancer cohorts, we detected transcription-dependent, replicated-strand bias, the expected footprint of transcription-replication collision (TRC), in large tandem duplications (TDs).

RIPK1/RIPK3-MLKL signaling molecules are fundamental in initiating necroptotic cell death, but their roles in the development of colon cancer are unclear. This study reports that RIPK3 interacted with SPOP, a component of the E3 ligase within the Cul3 complex. This interaction leads to K48-linked ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of RIPK3.
