CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 5

Last updated

CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 5 (CMTM5), previously termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 5 (i.e. CKLFSF5), designates any one of the six protein isoforms (termed CMTM5-v1 to CMTM5-v6) encoded by six different alternative splices of its gene, CMTM5; CMTM5-v1 is the most studied of these isoforms. [1] The CMTM5 gene is located in band 11.2 on the long (i.e. "q") arm of chromosome 14. [2]

Contents

The CMTM5 isoforms are members of the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family (CMTM). This family consists of 9 proteins although most of them are known to have one or more isoforms. These proteins are: chemokine-like factor (i.e. CLF, the founding member of the family) and CEF-like marvel transmembrane domain-containing 1 through 8 (i.e. CMTM1 through CMTM8). [3] All of these proteins as well as the genes responsible for their production (i.e. CKLF and CMTM1 to CMTM8, respectively) have similar structures [3] but vary in their apparent physiological and pathological functions. [2] [4] [5] [6] Preliminary studies suggest that CMTM5-v1 (which cells commonly secrete to the extracellular spaces such as the blood [7] ) or an unspecified CMTM5 isoform has various functions including involvements in regulating the autoimmune system, the development of numerous types of cancers, and the cardiovascular system.

Autoimmune system

The methylation of certain CpG clusters (i.e. DNA areas high in cytosine and guanine) regulate the transcriptional activity of nearby genes. That is, the methylation of a cluster(s) regulates its nearby gene by blocking it from making mRNAs and thereby the proteins encoded by these mRNAs. Studies find that the CMTM5 gene in the DNA isolated from the blood of individuals with the autoimmune diseases of systemic lupus erythematosus and primary Sjögren's syndrome (i.e. Sjorgen's syndrome not associated with other health problems or connective tissue diseases) is hyper-methylated at its CpG cluster(s) and thereby less active or inactive. On the other hand, the CpG cluster(s) controlling the CMTM5 gene in the blood of individuals with the autoimmune disease of rheumatoid arthritis are hypo-methylated and therefore highly active. These methylation changes, the studies suggest, regulate the function of immunologically active blood cells [5] (and, perhaps, blood platelets [8] ) and thereby the development, maintenance, and/or worsening of the cited autoimmune diseases. [2] [5] [8] Further studies are required to prove that these methylations contribute to the immunologic dysregulations occurring in these (and perhaps other) autoimmune diseases and can serve as clinical markers of disease severity and/or as therapeutic targets for controlling the diseases. [2]

Cancers

Studies have reported that: 1) the levels of CMTM5-v1 in the malignant tissues of patients with prostate cancer are lower than the levels in their nearby normal prostate gland tissues [9] as well as in the tissues of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia; [10] 2) patients with lower prostate cancer tissue levels of CMTM5-v1 have higher prostate cancer Gleason scores and therefore poorer prognoses than patients with higher prostate cancer tissue levels of CMTM5-v1; [9] and 3) the forced overexpression of CMTM5-v1 in cultured DU145 cells (a human prostate cancer cell line) reduces, while the forced higher expression of the CMTM5-v1 levels increases, their proliferation and migration. [4] [9] [10] Similar findings for an unspecified CMTM5 isoform are reported in ovarian cancer, [4] [11] hepatocellular carcinoma, [4] [12] pancreatic cancer, [4] [13] non-small-cell lung carcinoma, [4] [14] renal cell carcinoma, [4] [15] and breast cancer. [16] The forced over expression of CMTM5-v1 in Huh7 human hepatic cells also inhibited the ability of these cells to grow in a mouse model of cancer. [12] Finally, various cancer human cell lines including those of the liver, breast, prostate, colon, stomach, nasopharynx, laryngopharynx, esophagus, lung, and cervix express low levels of, or no, CMTM5-v1 and concurrently have highly methylated CpG sites near to the CMTM5 gene. [17] These findings suggest that the CMTM5 gene may act as a tumor suppressor gene, i.e. a normal gene whose product(s) inhibit the development and/or progression of various cancers. The findings also support further studies to confirm and expand these relationships and determine if the expression of CMTM5 isoforms can be used as tumor markers for these cancers severities/prognoses and/or targets as for treating them. [4]

Cardiovascular system

A case–control study of hospitalized patients found that the blood plasma levels of CMTM5 protein and CMTM5 messenger RNA (i.e. mRNA) in 350 patients with coronary artery disease were significantly higher than a matched group of 350 patients without this disease. [18] The same research group similarly studied 124 hospitalized patients who had in place a coronary artery stent. They found that high blood plasma levels of CMTM5 mRNA were associated with a higher rate of subsequently developing stenosis (i.e. narrowing) in their stents than patients with lower levels of this mRNA. [19] Furthermore, the forced overexpression of the CMTM5 gene inhibited the proliferation and migration of cultured human endothelial cells, [19] [20] while the forced suppression of the CMTM5 gene promote the proliferation of these cells. [20] These studies suggest that the CMTM5 gene, one of its mRNAs, and/or one of its CMTM5 proteins may promote atherosclerosis-based coronary artery disease and the stenosis of coronary artery stents and do so by inhibiting vascular endothelial cells from functioning to inhibit atherosclerosis and stent occlusion. More studies are necessary to confirm and further define these relationships; to determine if expression of the CMTM5 gene's or its products can be used as makers for patient susceptibilities to coronary artery/stent occlusions; and to determine if this gene or its products can used clinically as targets for preventing or decreasing the frequency of these occlusions.

The stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), also known as C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12), is a chemokine protein that in humans is encoded by the CXCL12 gene on chromosome 10. It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. Stromal cell-derived factors 1-alpha and 1-beta are small cytokines that belong to the chemokine family, members of which activate leukocytes and are often induced by proinflammatory stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide, TNF, or IL1. The chemokines are characterized by the presence of 4 conserved cysteines that form 2 disulfide bonds. They can be classified into 2 subfamilies. In the CC subfamily, the cysteine residues are adjacent to each other. In the CXC subfamily, they are separated by an intervening amino acid. The SDF1 proteins belong to the latter group. CXCL12 signaling has been observed in several cancers. The CXCL12 gene also contains one of 27 SNPs associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.

Melanoma inhibitory activity protein 3 (MIA3), also known as transport and Golgi organization protein 1 (TANGO1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MIA3 gene on chromosome 1. It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. MIA3 localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) exit site, where it binds bulky cargo molecules such as collagens and creates mega transport carriers for the export of cargoes from the ER. This function suggests that it plays a role in assembly of extracellular matrix (ECM) and bone formation. MIA3 has been demonstrated to contribute to both tumor suppression and progression. The MIA3 gene also contains one of 27 loci associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.. A TANGO1 like protein called TALI is expressed in liver and intestine and shown to be required for the export of bulky very Low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and chylomicrons. TANGO1 and TALI assemble into rings around COPII coats and this function is necessary for export of bulky cargoes. The discovery of TANGO1 and understanding its function has revealed that cargo export from the ER is not be vesicles but involves transient tunnels between the ER exit site and the next compartment of the secretory pathway. Biallelic Mutations in TANGO1 cause syndrome disease and complete loss of TANGO1 leads of defects in bone mineralization. These findings highlight the significance of TANGO1 in building and ER exit site, controlling the quantities and quality of cargo exported, which is necessary for life.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">CMTM3</span> Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing protein 3, also termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 3, is a member of the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of proteins. In humans, CMTM2 protein is encoded by the CMTM3 gene located in band 22.1 on the long arm of chromosome 16. This protein is expressed in a wide range of tissues, including fetal tissues. It is highly expressed in the male reproductive system, particularly testicular tissues and may play a role in the development of this tissue. It is also highly expressed in the immune system including circulating blood cells, i.e. B lymphocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes, and monocytes. However, CMTM3 protein is weakly expressed or unexpressed in the malignant tissues of several types of cancers. In many but not all of theses cancers, this decreased or lack of expression appears due to methylation of the GpC islands in the promoter region, and thereby the silencing, of the CMTM3 gene.

MIR22HG, also known as C17orf91, MGC14376, MIRN22, hsa-mir-22, and miR-22 is a human gene that encodes a noncoding RNA (ncRNA).This RNA molecule is not translated into a protein but nonetheless may have important functions.

The CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family (CMTM), previously termed the chemokine-like factor superfamily (CKLFSF), consists of 9 proteins, some of which have various isoforms due to alternative splicing of their respective genes. These proteins along with their isoforms are:

CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 8, previously termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 8 has at least two isoforms, the CMTM8 and CMTM8-v2 proteins. Protein isoforms are variant products that are made by the alternative splicing of a single gene. The gene for these isoforms, CMTM8, is located in band 22 on the short arm of chromosome 3. The CMTM8 gene and its CMTM8 and CMTM8-v2 proteins belong to the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of structurally and functionally related genes and proteins. The CMTM8 protein is the full-length and predominant product of the CMTM8 gene. This protein is expressed in a wide range of normal adult and fetal tissues while relatively little is known about the CMTM8-v2 protein. Studies suggest that the CMTM8 protein may be involved in the development of various cancers.

CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 1, formerly termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 1, has 23 known isoforms, the CMTM1-v1 to CMTM1-v23 proteins. Protein isoforms are variant products that are made by alternative splicing of a single gene. The gene for these isoforms, CMTM1, is located in band 22 on the long arm of chromosome 16. The CMTM1 gene and its 23 isoforms belong to the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of structurally and functionally related genes and proteins. CMTM1 proteins are weakly express in a wide range of normal tissues but are far more highly expressed in normal testes as well as the malignant cells of certain types of cancer.

CKLF like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 4, formerly termed chemokine-like factor superfamily 4, is a small transmembrane protein which passes the plasma membrane four times. It has 3 known isoforms, the CMTM4-v1 to CMTM4-v3 proteins. Protein isoforms are variant products that are made by alternative splicing of a single gene. The gene for the CMTM4 isoforms is located in band 22 on the long arm of chromosome 16. The CMTM4 gene and its 3 isoform proteins belong to the CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing family of structurally and functionally related genes and proteins. CMTM4-v1 and CMTM4-v2 are widely expressed in multiple human tissue while CMTM4-v3 has been detected only in the kidney and placental tissues.
