The gene trim7 encodes at least four isoforms Glycogenin-interacting protein 1 (GNIP1), GNIP2, GNIP3 and Tripartite motif containing 7 (TRIM7). GNIP1, the longest isoform, has been reported acting as an oncogene. However, it is very interesting that TRIM7, the shortest isoform, only 15 amino acids different from GNIP1 in C-terminal, acts in a completely different way from that of GNIP1 in our present study. TRIM7 expression was decreased in tumor compared with adjacent normal tissues, and the level of TRIM7 was negatively correlated with clinical stage of 94 patients with lung cancer. In vitro, TRIM7 dramatically inhibited the proliferation and migration of tumor cells, and promoted cell apoptosis. Further study showed that TRIM7 interacted with p65 via its C-terminal which is different from GNIP1. The interaction between TRIM7 and p65 promoted the ubiquitination of p65 and finally accelerated the degradation of p65 via 26S proteasome. In vivo, the tumor volume and weight were decreased by TRIM7 stable expression. Meanwhile, Ki67 was down-regulated, thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) and Caspase 3 were up-regulated in TRIM7 overexpression group in xenograft model. It is very impressive that TRIM7t (a truncated TRIM7 without C-terminal sequence that different with GNIP1) had little effect on the tumor growth in vivo. These findings highlight a curious mechanism for negative regulation of NF-kappa B signaling pathway by TRIM7 and demonstrate that TRIM7 would be a potential therapeutic target for lung cancer.

Mediator of IRF3 activation (MITA, also named as STING/ERIS/MPYS/TMEM173), is essential to DNA virus- or cytosolic DNA-triggered innate immune responses. In this study, we demonstrated the negative regulatory role of RING-finger protein (RNF) 90 in innate immune responses targeting MITA. RNF90 promoted K48-linked ubiquitination of MITA and its proteasome-dependent degradation. Overexpression of RNF90 inhibited HSV-1- or cytosolic DNA-induced immune responses whereas RNF90 knockdown had the opposite effects. Moreover, RNF90-deficient bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs), bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) exhibited increased DNA virus- or cytosolic DNA-triggered signaling and RNF90 deficiency protected mice from DNA virus infection. Taken together, our findings suggested a novel function of RNF90 in innate immunity.
