Objective: TRIB3 has been confirmed to participate in and regulate biological metabolic activities in head and neck tumors such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and oropharyngeal carcinoma, so the purpose of this study was to explore whether there is a correlation between TRIB3 and Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) and to preliminarily explore the biological characteristics of TRIB3 in LSCC.
Methods: TRIB3 expression in the LSCC was analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. CCK-8 assay, Colony Formation Assay, wound healing assay, and Transwell assay were performed to investigate the roles of TRIB3 in the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of LSCC. The Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network of TRIB3 was analyzed based on the STRING database. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were employed to detect the protein and mRNA expression of TRIB3.
Results: TRIB3 over-expressed in the LSCC, which was related to the poor prognosis of LSCC. Patients with methylation related to high TRIB3 expression had a poorer prognosis. Knock-down of TRIB3 expression suppresses the growth, invasion and migration of LSCCs via PI3K / AKT / mTOR. TIME analysis, surface checkpoint analysis, and prediction model indicated that TRIB3 related risk model displayed a poor prognosis.
Conclusion: This study investigates the role of TRIB3 in the biological characteristics of LSCC, and preliminarily concludes that TRIB3 may be a potentially promising prognostic biomarker for LSCC. TRIB3 may facilitate the growing, invasive and migrating LSCC, leading to a poor prognosis.

Our previous study had found that cellular pseudokinase tribbles 3 (TRIB3) facilitates the infection of enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) via upregulating the protein level of EV-A71 receptor scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2). In the present study, we used metformin, which had been reported to down-regulate TRIB3 expression, to verify the potential of TRIB3 as an antiviral target. Here, we found that metformin can indeed impede the replication of EV-A71 and Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) through inhibiting the transcription of TRIB3 to indirectly down-regulate SCARB2 protein levels to block viral infection.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a type of head and neck cancer (HNC) with a high recurrence rate, which has been reported to be associated with the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3) is involved in intracellular signaling and the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of TRIB3 in the maintenance of CSCs. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas database samples demonstrated a positive correlation between TRIB3 expression levels and shorter overall survival rates in patients with HNC.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is prone to adipose tissue metastasis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we observed that omental adipocytes were induced into cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs) by OC-derived TGF-β1 to establish a pre-metastatic niche (PMN) through collagen and fibronectin secretion.

Liver metastasis is a common cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but epigenetic remodeling and metabolic reprogramming for CRC liver metastasis remain unclear. The study revealed that the Lyn/RUVBL1 complex is highly expressed in CRC and is closely correlated with liver metastasis. On the one hand, ATAC-seq and HiCut suggested that Lyn/RUVBL1 regulates the expression of TRIB3 through the POL II-mediated chromatin conformation of TRIB3 and thus the expression of β-catenin.
