Аннотация
BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2, a highly contagious coronavirus, is responsible for the global pandemic of COVID-19 in 2019. Currently, it remains uncertain whether SARS-CoV-2 possesses oncogenic or oncolytic potential in influencing tumor progression. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the clinical and functional role of SARS-CoV-2 on tumor progression.
METHODS: Here, we integrated bioinformatic analysis of COVID-19 RNA-seq data from the GEO database and performed functional studies to explore the regulatory role of SARS-CoV-2 in solid tumor progression, including lung, colon, kidney and liver cancer.
RESULTS: Our results demonstrate that infection with SARS-CoV-2 is associated with a decreased expression of genes associated with cancer proliferation and metastasis in lung tissues from patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Several cancer proliferation or metastasis related genes were frequently downregulated in SARS-CoV-2 infected intestinal organoids and human colon carcinoma cells. In vivo and in vitro studies revealed that SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein inhibits colon and kidney tumor growth and metastasis through the N-terminal (NTD) and the C-terminal domain (CTD). The molecular mechanism indicates that the N protein of SARS-CoV-2 interacts with YBX1, resulting in the recruitment of PKM mRNA into stress granules mediated by G3BP1. This process ultimately destabilizes PKM expression and suppresses glycolysis.
CONCLUSION: Our study reveals a new function of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein on tumor progression.
