          Abstract

          Continuous exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) can cause photodamage of the skin. This photodamage can be inhibited by the overexpression of the non-coding RNA, nc886, via the protein kinase RNA-activated (PKR) pathway. The study aims to identify how UVB inhibits nc886 expression, and it also seeks to determine whether substances that can control nc886 expression can influence UV-induced inflammation, and the mechanisms involved. The results suggest that UVB irradiation accelerates the methylation of the nc886 gene, therefore, reducing its expression. This induces the activation of the PKR, which accelerates the expression of metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2), and the production of MMP-9, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PGE 2), and certain pro-inflammatory cytokines, specifically interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Conversely, in a model of nc886 overexpression, the expression and production of those inflammatory factors are inhibited. In addition, Laminaria japonica extract (LJE) protect the levels of nc886 against UVB irradiation then subsequently inhibit the production of UV-induced inflammatory factors through the PKR pathway.

          COX-2 expression is induced by UVB exposure in human skin: implications for the development of skin cancer.

          S Buckman, A. Hallam Gresham, P. Hale … (1998)
          Extensive documentation has validated the role of UV irradiation as a tumor initiator and promoter, inducing both squamous and basal cell carcinomas. Human epidermis is a tissue which undergoes active metabolism of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins which is regulated by the action of prostaglandin H synthase (also known as cyclooxygenase). One mechanism for the promotional activity of UV light may involve its ability to induce prostaglandin formation. Work in our laboratory has demonstrated that acute exposure of human keratinocytes to UVB irradiation results in increased production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). When cultured human keratinocytes were examined after irradiation with 30 mJ/cm2 UVB in vitro, Western blot analysis showed a 6-fold increase in COX-2 protein which was evident at 6 h and peaked 24 h after irradiation. Furthermore, when human subjects were irradiated on sun-protected skin with up to four times their minimal erythema dosage (MED) and biopsied 24 h later, upregulation of COX-2 protein expression was observed via immunofluorescence microscopy. RNAase protection assays supported this observation, showing induction of COX-2 message which peaked at approximately 12 h following irradiation in vitro. Furthermore, human squamous cell carcinoma biopsies exhibited strongly enhanced staining for COX-2 protein via immunohistochemistry and Western analysis when compared to normal non-sun-exposed control skin. Together, these data demonstrate acute upregulation of COX-2 via UVB irradiation and suggest the need for further studies of COX-2 expression as a potential pharmacological target mediating human skin tumor development.

            The protein kinase PKR is required for p38 MAPK activation and the innate immune response to bacterial endotoxin.

            B. Williams, Rebecca W. Goh, M J deVeer … (2000)
            Protein kinase RNA-regulated (PKR) is an established component of innate antiviral immunity. Recently, PKR has been shown to be essential for signal transduction in other situations of cellular stress. The relationship between PKR and the stress-activated protein kinases (SAPKs), such as p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), is not clear. Using embryonic fibroblasts from PKR wild-type and null mice, we established a requirement for PKR in the activation of SAPKs by double-stranded RNA, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and proinflammatory cytokines. This does not reflect a global failure to activate SAPKs in the PKR-null background as these kinases are activated normally by anisomycin and other physicochemical stress. Activation of p38 MAPK was restored in immortalized PKR-null cells by reconstitution with human PKR. We also show that LPS induction of interleukin-6 and interleukin-12 mRNA is defective in PKR-null cells, and that production of these cytokines is impaired in PKR-null mice challenged with LPS. Our findings indicate, for the first time, that PKR is required for p38 MAPK signaling and plays a potentially important role in the innate response against bacterial endotoxin.

              Cell death/proliferation roles for nc886, a non-coding RNA, in the protein kinase R pathway in cholangiocarcinoma.

              Kye Young Lee, B Gong, Y Chamgramol … (2013)
              We have recently identified nc886 (pre-miR-886 or vtRNA2-1) as a novel type of non-coding RNA that inhibits activation of protein kinase R (PKR). PKR's pro-apoptotic role through eukaryotic initiation factor 2 α (eIF2α) phosphorylation is well established in the host defense against viral infection. Paradoxically, some cancer patients have elevated PKR activity; however, its cause and consequence are not understood. Initially, we evaluated the expression of nc886, PKR and eIF2α in non-malignant cholangiocyte and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells. nc886 is repressed in CCA cells and this repression is the cause of PKR's activation therein. nc886 alone is necessary and sufficient for suppression of PKR via direct physical interaction. Consistently, artificial suppression of nc886 in cholangiocyte cells activates the canonical PKR/eIF2α cell death pathway, suggesting a potential significance of the nc886 suppression and the consequent PKR activation in eliminating pre-malignant cells during tumorigenesis. In comparison, active PKR in CCA cells does not induce phospho-eIF2α nor apoptosis, but promotes the pro-survival nuclear factor-κB pathway. Thus, PKR has a dual life or death role during tumorigenesis. Similarly to the CCA cell lines, nc886 tends to be decreased but PKR tends to be activated in our clinical samples from CCA patients. Collectively from our data, we propose a tumor surveillance model for nc886's role in the PKR pathway during tumorigenesis.
