We have now identified CUGBP2, a 54-kDa RNA-binding protein, as a component of this holoenzyme. CUGBP2 and ACF co-fractionate in bovine liver S-100 extracts, and addition of recombinant apobec-1 leads to assembly of a holoenzyme. Immunodepletion of CUGBP2 co-precipitates ACF, and these proteins co-localize the nucleus of transfected cells, suggesting that CUGBP2 and ACF are bound in vivo. CUGBP2 binds apoB RNA, specifically an AU-rich sequence located immediately upstream of the edited cytidine. ApoB RNA from McA cells, bound to CUGBP2, was more extensively edited than the unbound fraction. However, addition of recombinant CUGBP2 to a reconstituted system demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibition of C to U RNA editing, which was rescued with either apobec-1 or ACF. Antisense CUGBP2 knockout increased endogenous apoB RNA editing, whereas antisense knockout of either apobec-1 or ACF expression eliminated apoB RNA editing, establishing the absolute requirement of these components of the core enzyme. These data suggest that CUGBP2 plays a role in apoB mRNA editing by forming a regulatory complex with the three components of the minimal editing enzyme, apobec-1, ACF, and apoB RNA.23:T50c,This study investigated the function of HOTAIR in the growth and apoptosis of OS MG-63 cell line in vitro and further clarified its mechanism. The expression levels of HOTAIR in OS MG-63 cell line and normal osteoblast hFOB1.19 cell line were determined by RT-PCR, respectively. The growth and apoptosis of MG-63 cells in vitro were investigated by MTT assay and flow cytometry assay after HOTAIR was knocked down with retroviral vector construction. And the expression levels of cell growth and apoptosis related factors TGF-β, p53, Bcl-2, and TNF-α were determined to clarify the mechanism. We found that HOTAIR was highly expressed in osteosarcoma MG-63 cell line compared with normal osteoblast hFOB1.19 cell line. The proliferation rate was lower and the apoptosis rate was higher significantly in shHOTAIR MG-63 cells than those in EV MG-63 cells. TGF-β and Bcl-2 were downregulated significantly when HOTAIR was knocked down. p53 and TNF-α were upregulated significantly when HOTAIR was knocked down. These results indicated that HOTAIR functioned as a carcinogenic lncRNA, which could promote the proliferation and inhibit the apoptosis of MG-63 cells in vitro. HOTAIR could be a potential target for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
