Posttranscriptional Regulation Controls Calretinin Expression in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Abstract: Calretinin (CALB2) is a diagnostic and prognostic marker in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). We previously reported that calretinin expression is regulated at the mRNA level. The presence of a medium-sized (573 nucleotide) 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) predicted to contain binding sites for miR-30a/b/c/d/e and miR-9 as well as an adenine/uridine-rich element (ARE) in all three transcripts arising from the CALB2 gene, suggests that calretinin expression is regulated via posttranscriptional mechanisms.

“…Increased Calb2 expression as reported in our study could also be attributed to the same reasons as seen with Calb1, especially as both genes encode proteins with closely related functions [13,11]. Since Calretinin expression is normally regulated at post transcriptional level by the transcription factors NRF-1 and E2F2 respectively [20,21], the probability that cytoplasmic RABV replication interferes with normal regulation of Calb2 expression, is further strengthened.…”

“…A similar mechanism might be envisaged also for the PTK2 (FAK) promoter. The CALB2 gene is also subject to alternative splicing producing among others also the transcript CALB2b , likely acting as a long non-coding RNA [ 38 ]. Finally the interaction of CR with FAK at adhesion sites and/or in the nucleus as reported in this study might result in a protein complex (possibly together with additional proteins) involved in the regulation of FAK expression.…”

“…Therefore, the identification of clusters with different RNA editing in introns suggests the presence of different splicing in these clusters. Splice variants have been identified in mesothelioma with mutated SF3B1 splicing factor (5), but have not yet been systematically analyzed, although we have documented their occurrence in several mesothelioma relevant genes such as lncRNA GAS5, CALB2 and RBM8A (26, 67, 68) or in major mesothelioma tumor suppressors such as NF2 (69) and BAP1 (70). Splice variants have functional consequences including in response to therapy.…”
