Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide with an extremely poor prognosis. Previous studies have suggested that tripartite motif containing 47 (TRIM47) is involved in the progression of numerous cancers. However, the molecular mechanism and function of TRIM47 in GBC remain unclear.

Methods: The clinical significance of TRIM47 was evaluated using immunohistochemistry. Functional assays were performed in vitro and in vivo to determine the role of TRIM47 in GBC. Mass spectrometric analysis, western blotting, and immunoprecipitation assays were performed to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved.

Results: In this study, TRIM47 was upregulated in GBC tissues and associated with shorter overall survival rates and TRIM47 was involved in GBC cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. Mechanistically, TRIM47 interacts with PARP1 and mediates the K63-linked polyubiquitination of PARP1, thereby stabilizing its expression. Furthermore, TRIM47 activated the AKT signaling pathway via PARP1.

Conclusion: The present study revealed that TRIM47 contributes to the progression of GBC and is therefore an important biomarker for predicting the prognosis of GBC and for therapeutic intervention.

Tripartite motif-containing 47 (TRIM47) is a member of the TRIM family, which has E3 ligase activity and has been demonstrated to be involved in tumor development. In this work, we found that TRIM47 is highly expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) tissues. TRIM47 overexpression promoted HNSCC cell proliferation.

Article Synopsis
  • Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare and aggressive tumor with few treatment options beyond surgery, prompting a study of its genomic features.
  • The research involved whole-genome and RNA sequencing of samples from 3 metastatic PACC patients, revealing markers of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) linked to BRCA1/2 and FANCL mutations, which showed positive responses to PARP inhibitors.
  • The study also identified significant structural variants and alterations in key pathways, suggesting potential targets for targeted therapies and emphasizing the need for genomic profiling to customize treatment for better outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers, part of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), have low survival rates and high recurrence, highlighting the need for better treatment strategies against metastasis and poor prognosis.
  • - The study discovered that TRIM47, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is upregulated in hypopharyngeal cancer tissues and is linked to worse survival outcomes; it stabilizes vimentin (a protein) through a specific type of ubiquitination.
  • - TRIM47 enhances cancer cell growth and spread by promoting vimentin's role, making it a potential biomarker for early diagnosis and a target for future therapies in treating hypopharyngeal and

The tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family has been shown to play important roles in the occurrence and development of various tumors. However, the biological functions of TRIM47 and its regulatory mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unexplored. Here, we showed that TRIM47 was upregulated in HCC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues, especially at advanced stages, and associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients.

The genetic architecture of white matter lesions (WMLs) in Asian populations has not been well-characterized. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify loci associated with the WML volume. Brain MRI and DNA samples were collected from 9479 participants in the Japan Prospective Studies Collaboration for Aging and Dementia (JPSC-AD).
