SUMOylation in different kinds of cancers.

ComponentsExpressionEffects on cancers

SUMO1, SUMO2/3UpregulatedSilencing the expression of SUMO1 and SUMO 2/3 impairs cell growth and DNA synthesis in glioblastoma [141].
SUMO2/3 is critical for proliferation of Myc-driven lymphoma [123].

SAE1UpregulatedSAE1 is positively related with lymph node metastasis of lung adenocarcinomas [121].
SAE1 is important for proliferation of Myc-driven lymphoma [123].
SAE1 promotes the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma [1].

SAE2UpregulatedSAE2 can maintain the malignancy and reduce the chemotherapy sensitivity in SCLC [122].
SAE2 is critical for proliferation of Myc-driven lymphoma [123].

Ubc9UpregulatedNegatively associated with survival rate of multiple myeloma [112].
Critical for proliferation of Myc-driven lymphoma [123].
Involves in human lung tumorigenesis [142].
Inversely correlated with the sensitivity of chemotherapy and prognosis of breast cancer [126].
Serves as an important molecule in melanoma-positive lymph nodes [128].

PIAS1UpregulatedNegatively associated with survival rate of multiple myeloma [112].
Promotes breast tumorigenesis by selectively silencing the epigenetic genes [130].
Overexpressed PIAS1 is correlated with the development of colon cancer [143].

PIAS3UpregulatedIncreased expression of PIAS3 was observed in lung, breast, prostate, colon-rectum, and brain tumors [144].

PIAS4UpregulatedPromotes the hypoxia-dependent EMT by regulating the transcriptional activity of SIRT1 [132].
Serves as an activator of hypoxia pathway in pancreatic cancer cells [133].

SENP1UpregulatedPromotes the invasion of neuroblastoma by regulating the expression of MMP2, MMP9, and CDH1 [137].
Essential for the cell proliferation and migration of triple-negative breast cancer in vitro [145].
Increased level of SENP1 mRNA is correlated with cancer recurrence of bladder cancer [134].

SENP2DownregulatedLimiting the expression of MMP13 and repressing the invasion and migration of bladder cancer [138].
Inhibiting the activation of NF-κB pathway and improving the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to doxorubicin [146].

SENP3UpregulatedAssociated with the differentiation of oral squamous cell carcinoma [139].
Regulating cell proliferation by the deSUMOylation of PML under oxidative stress in colon adenocarcinoma [147].
SENP3 regulates the activity of nuclear Nrf2 under reactive oxygen species stress induced by cisplatin in laryngeal carcinoma [148].

SENP5UpregulatedSubcellular location of SENP5 is associated with differentiation of oral squamous cell carcinoma [149].
SENP5 promotes breast cancer invasion by mediating TGFβRI SUMOylation [140].
