Abstract

Graphic abstract

Purpose: Mutations (K11E or E271K) of DEAD-box RNA helicase 24 (DDX24) were related to multi-organ venous lymphatic malformation syndrome (MOVLD). However, the relationship between these mutations and DDX24-function still remains unknown. Understanding whether K11E and E271K cause “loss-of-function” or “gain-of-function” for DDX24 is significant for related diseases. DDX24 was reported to be related to tumors closely, thus this study aims to explore how K11E and E271K affect DDX24-function in tumor proliferation.

Methods: Cell lines stably expressing wild-type DDX24, K11E-DDX24, E271K-DDX24, along with vector only based on Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) and Balb/c tumor-bearing mice models were constructed. Then immunofluorescence staining, proliferation assay and colony formation assay in vitro and 18F-FDG PET/CT-scan were performed. Finally, the tumor tissues were collected to perform transcriptome sequencing to predict the potential mechanism.

Results: Contrasted with CHO-WT-DDX24, CHO-K11E-DDX24 or CHO-E271K-DDX24 showed a decreased number of nucleoli, a slower proliferation rate and a lower colony formation rate significantly. Moreover, mice, inoculated with CHO-K11E-DDX24 or CHO-E271K-DDX24 cells, showed lower tumor formation rate, slower tumor growth rate, better prognosis, reduced standard uptake value and Ki of glucose in subcutaneous tumors. Sequencing indicated CHO-K11E-DDX24 or CHO-E271K-DDX24 caused increasing expression of TNF or chemokines and alteration in immune-related signal pathways.

Conclusion: K11E or E271K mutation could lead to “loss-of-function” of DDX24 in cell proliferation and tumor bearing mice, which may be acted by non-specific immune killing to inhibit tumor growth.
