Cancer cells have a higher dependency on molecular chaperones to maintain proteostasis. The chaperonin T-complex protein ring complex(TRiC) contains eight paralogous subunits(CCT1-8), and assists the folding of as many as 10% of cytosolic proteome.TRiC is essential for the progression of some cancers, but the roles of TRiC subunits in osteosarcoma remain to be explored. Here, we show that CCT4/TRiC is significantly correlated in human osteosarcoma,and plays a critical role in osteosarcoma cell survival. We identify a compound anticarin-β that can specifically bind to and inhibit CCT4. Anticarin-β shows higher selectivity in cancer cells than in normal cells. Mechanistically, anticarin-β potently impedes CCT4-mediated STAT3 maturation. Anticarin-β displays remarkable antitumor efficacy in orthotopic and patient-derived xenograft models of osteosarcoma.Collectively, our data uncover a key role of CCT4 in osteosarcoma, and propose a promising treatment strategy for osteosarcoma by disrupting CCT4 and proteostasis.展开更多

The influences of various organic compounds as well as the component concentration on the O-2-CCT formation ability were investigated. The results show that if the difference of O-2-CCT formation ability between the two components is rather large, such as the benzene/isopropyl ether system, only the O-2-CCT absorption of benzene appears, which arises from its higher O-2-CCT formation ability. If the difference of O-2-CCT formation ability is small, such as the isopropyl ether/ethanol system and the dioxane/isopropyl ether system, it is rather easy to form a dynamic equilibrium of two O-2-CCT between the two components, then only one absorption peak appears in the whole concentration range as a result of the repeated addition of the two kinds of O-2-CCT absorption. If the difference of O-2-CCT formation ability is in medium compared with the two cases above, such as the dioxane/ethanol system, there are two kinds of O-2-CCT absorption of dioxane and ethanol in the same system in the form of an equilibrium, then two absorption peaks can be detected in the middle concentration range as a result of the repeated addition of the two kinds of O-2-CCT absorption.展开更多
