A positive feedback loop between PLD1 and NF-κB signaling promotes tumorigenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Phospholipase D(PLD)lipid-signaling enzyme superfamily has been widely implicated in various human malignancies,but its role and underlying mechanism remain unclear in nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).Here,we analyze the expressions of 6 PLD family members between 87 NPC and 10 control samples through transcriptome analysis.Our findings reveal a notable upregulation of PLD1 in both NPC tumors and cell lines,correlating with worse disease-free and overall survival in NPC patients.Functional assays further elucidate the oncogenic role of PLD1,demonstrating its pivotal promotion of critical tumorigenic processes such as cell proliferation and migration in vitro,as well as tumor growth in vivo.Notably,our study uncovers a positive feedback loop between PLD1 and the NF-κB signaling pathway to render NPC progression.Specifically,PLD1 enhances NF-κB activity by facilitating the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of RELA,which in turn binds to the promoter of PLD1,augmenting its expression.Moreover,RELA over-expression markedly rescues the inhibitory effects in PLD1-depleted NPC cells.Importantly,the application of the PLD1 inhibitor,VU0155069,substantially inhibits NPC tumorigenesis in a patient-derived xenograft model.Together,our findings identify PLD1/NF-κB signaling as a positive feedback loop with promising therapeutic and prognostic potential in NPC.
