Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is a poorly prognostic malignant tumor, and the metastatic stage of cancer is not an early stage when diagnosed. Lymph node metastasis is common in the early stage. Ribosomal receptor for activated C-kinase 1 (RACK1) has found involved in the oncogenesis of various tumors and in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Nevertheless, its role in cholangiocarcinoma remains unknown.

Material And Methods: The possible correlation between RACK1 and tumor prognosis was analyzed in cholangiocarcinoma patients. The GEO and TCGA databases were used to evaluate the level of in cholangiocarcinoma. The RBE and HCCC-9810 cell lines were used to examine the effects of RACK1 in the behavior of tumor cells

Results: The Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that low expression of RACK1 was associated with poor prognosis and RACK1 was negatively related to lymph node metastasis, which were verified in databases TCGA and GEO; downregulation of RACK1 via RNA interference correlated with changes in the expression of EMT biomarkers and promoted the migration of cholangiocarcinoma cell lines.

Conclusion: The protein expression of RACK1 is significantly higher in cholangiocarcinoma tissues than in peritumoral tissues, however, the high RACK1 expression indicates better overall survival and less risk for lymph node metastasis. , RACK1 may suppress the migratory ability of cholangiocarcinoma cells by inhibiting EMT.

Src homology-2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) plays a dual role in cancer initiation and progression. Identifying signals that modulate the function of SHP2 can improve current therapeutic approaches for IFN-α/β in HCC. We showed that cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) suppresses IFN-α/β-induced JAK/STAT signaling by increasing the phosphatase activity of SHP2, promoting the dissociation of SHP2 from the receptor for activated C-kinase 1 (RACK1) and binding to STAT1.

The transport of biological materials must protect samples from degradation and ensure courier safety. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of a new type of container designed for the secured transport of biological material for storing samples for quantitative RNA analyses. This was achieved by analyzing changes in the expression of selected human leucocyte housekeeping genes (, , and ) using reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and digital PCR (RT-dPCR) techniques.

Mono(ADP-ribosyl)ation (MARylation) is emerging as a critical regulator of ribosome function and translation. Herein, we demonstrate that RACK1, an integral component of the ribosome, is MARylated by the mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferase (MART) PARP14 in ovarian cancer cells. MARylation of RACK1 is required for stress granule formation and promotes the colocalization of RACK1 in stress granules with G3BP1, eIF3η, and 40S ribosomal proteins.

Background And Aims: Given the role of Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) in both immune cell activation and in the maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier integrity, we investigated whether it was involved in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: RACK1 expression was analyzed in intestinal mucosal samples of healthy and IBD patients, in mice with chemically induced colitis, and in diseased in vitro 2D and 3D coculture models by luciferase assay, reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. Based on our finding that glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ or tsc22d3) positively correlates with RACK1 expression in IBD patients, GILZ knockout mice and cell silencing experiments were performed.
