我們的研究探討了STMN3的功能和調節機制，STMN3是膀胱癌中的微管去穩定磷酸蛋白。我們的結果顯示穩定轉染pSTMN3-HaloTag在J82會上調STMN3 mRNA和STMN3蛋白質表現，而在BFTC905中使STMN3基因沉默會下調STMN3 mRNA和STMN3蛋白質表現。過度表達STMN3會誘導細胞增殖並改變細胞週期調節相關的蛋白質表現，而基因沉默則會抑制細胞增殖並改變細胞週期調節相關的蛋白質表現。STMN3蛋白上的絲氨酸50、65及73位置的突變會降低J82細胞中的細胞增殖和細胞非貼附性生長。在STMN3中加入LY294002 (PI3K抑制劑)和AZD6244 (MAP2K抑制劑)會穩定乙酰化微管蛋白的表現。對STMN3蛋白中幾種潛在的磷酸化位點的突變會略微降低J82細胞中的肌動蛋白聚合。我們得出結論，STMN3在膀胱癌中扮演致癌基因的角色，並且可能受PI3K與MEK/ERK訊息傳遞路徑所調控，也能干擾微管及肌動蛋白穩定性。

Our study explored the function and regulatory mechanisms of STMN3 which is the microtubule-destabilizing phosphoprotein in the bladder cancer. Our results showed that stable transfection of the pSTMN3-HaloTag plasmid upregulates while knockdown of the STMN3 gene suppresses STMN3 mRNA and STMN3 protein levels in J82 and BFTC905 cells, respectively. Exogenous STMN3 expression induces, while knockdown suppresses cell proliferation and alters the protein expression levels of several cell cycle regulators. Mutations on serine 50, 65 or 73 of the STMN3 protein decreases cell proliferation and colony formation/anchorage-independent cell growth in J82 cells. Inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAP2K) stabilize acetylated-tubulin. Mutagenesis on several potential phosphorylated serines in the STMN3 protein slightly decrease actin polymerization in J82 cells. Taken together, our data indicated that STMN3 functions as an oncogene in bladder cancer, and regulated by PI3K and MEK/ERK signaling pathways, also interfered microtubule and actin polymerization stability.
