Small GTPase RAS plays a critical role in cellular signaling and oncogenic transformation. Proteomic analysis of genetically-defined human ovarian cancer models identified the tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101) as a down stream target of RAS oncogene. Mechanistic studies revealed a novel post-translational regulation of TSG101 through the RAS/RAF/MEK/MAPK signaling pathway and down-stream molecules p14ARF/HDM2. Immuno-analysis using ovarian cancer samples and micro-tissue array revealed elevated TSG101 levels in human ovarian carcinomas. Silencing of TSG101 by siRNA in ovarian cancer cells led to growth inhibition and cell death. Concurrent with the apparent growth inhibitory effect, the levels of the CBP/p300-interacting transactivator with ED-rich tail 2 (CITED2) and hypoxia inducible factor 1a (HIF-1a), as well as its cellular activity, were markedly reduced after TSG101 knockdown. These results demonstrate that TSG101 is important for CITED2 and HIF-1a mediated cellular regulation in ovarian carcinomas.
