PG - 127 LID - 10.1038/s41420-024-01893-9 [doi] LID - 127 AB - Osteosarcoma (OS) is considered a sex steroid hormone-dependent bone tumor. The development and progression of OS are regulated by 17beta-estradiol (E2). However, the detailed mechanisms of E2-modulated OS progression remained to be elucidated. Here, we found that E2-activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling promoted N6-methyladenosine (m(6)A) modification through regulating WTAP. Inhibition of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) reversed E2-activated WTAP expression. Meanwhile, inhibition of mTORC1 suppressed OS cell proliferation and migration. Deficiency of TSC2 activated mTORC1 signaling and enhanced OS cell proliferation and migration, while abrogated by Rapamycin. Interestingly, mTOMC1 promoted mRNA stability of ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7) through m(6)A modification. Loss of USP7 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and ASC specks, while promoted apoptosis of OS cells. USP7 interacted with NLRP3 and deubiquitinated NLRP3 through K48-ubiquitination. USP7 was upregulated and positive correlation with NLRP3 in OS patients with high level of E2. Loss of USP7 suppressed the progression of OS via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. Our results demonstrated that E2-activtated mTORC1 promoted USP7 stability, which promoted OS cell proliferation and migration via upregulating NLRP3 expression and enhancing NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. These results discover a novel mechanism of E2 regulating OS progression and provide a promising therapeutic target for OS progression. CI - (c) 2024. The Author(s).
