Abstract

AbstractPellino-1 (PELI1) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase acting as a key regulator for the inflammation and autoimmunity via the ubiquitination of the substrate proteins. There is increasing evidence to support that PELI1 functions as an oncoprotein in tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the high expression and oncogenic roles of PELI1 in cancers remains limited. Herein, we revealed a novel regulation mechanism by which PELI1 and EGFR cooperate to promote breast cancer metastasis. EGFR is positively correlated with PELI1 expression in breast cancers, and its activation led to the phosphorylation of PELI1 at Tyr154 and Thr264, which subsequently activated its E3 ubiquitin ligase. Simultaneously, PELI1 physically interacted with and enhanced the stability of EGFR via the K63-linked polyubiquitination in reverse. The co-inhibition of the PELI1-EGFR showed synergetic effect to repress breast cancer metastasis. Furthermore, we identified a compound S62 as a small molecule disruptor of PELI1/EGFR that effectively repressed breast cancer metastasis. Our study not only uncovered the emerging roles of PELI1/EGFR interaction in the progression of breast cancer, but also provided an effective strategy for the inhibition of metastasis in breast cancer.
