type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal female malignancies while targeting apoptosis is critical for improving ovarian cancer patients' lives. Survivin is regarded as the most robust anti-apoptosis protein, and its overexpression in ovarian cancer is related to poor survival and apoptosis resistance. Piperlongumine (PL) extracted from peppers is defined as an active alkaloid/amide and exhibits a broad spectrum of antitumor effects. Here, we demonstrate that PL induces the rapid depletion of survivin protein levels via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated proteasome-dependent pathway <italic>in vitro</italic>, while exerting a remarkable inhibitory influence on the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. Overexpression of survivin raises the survival rate of ovarian cancer cells to PL. Moreover, PL inhibits ovarian cancer cells xenograft tumor growth and downregulates survivin <italic>in vivo</italic>. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism of PL in suppressing survivin expression as well as survivin promotes piperlongumine resistance in ovarian cancer and suggest that ROS-mediated proteasome-dependent pathway can be exploited to overcome apoptosis resistance triggered by aberrant expression of survivin.</p></div></front><back><div1

Survivin is regarded as the most robust anti-apoptosis protein, and its overexpression in ovarian cancer is related to poor survival and apoptosis resistance. Piperlongumine (PL) extracted from peppers is defined as an active alkaloid/amide and exhibits a broad spectrum of antitumor effects. Here, we demonstrate that PL induces the rapid depletion of survivin protein levels via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated proteasome-dependent pathway <italic>in vitro</italic>, while exerting a remarkable inhibitory influence on the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. Overexpression of survivin raises the survival rate of ovarian cancer cells to PL. Moreover, PL inhibits ovarian cancer cells xenograft tumor growth and downregulates survivin <italic>in vivo</italic>. Our findings reveal a previously unrecognized mechanism of PL in suppressing survivin expression as well as survivin promotes piperlongumine resistance in ovarian cancer and suggest that ROS-mediated proteasome-dependent pathway can be exploited to overcome apoptosis resistance triggered by aberrant expression of survivin.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>piperlongumine</kwd><kwd>survivin</kwd><kwd>ovarian cancer</kwd><kwd>ROS</kwd><kwd>proteasome</kwd></kwd-group><counts><fig-count count="6"></fig-count><table-count count="0"></table-count><equation-count count="0"></equation-count><ref-count count="45"></ref-count><page-count count="11"></page-count><word-count count="5439"></word-count></counts></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="s1"><title>Introduction</title><p>Ovarian cancer is the most fatal female reproductive tract cancer and the seventh most common cancer among women all over the world (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>). It was evaluated that 22,240 ovarian cancer cases would be diagnosed while concurrently 14,070 women would succumb to the disease in 2018 (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>). Between 1976 and 2015, owing to effective approaches to the clinical treatment, including aggressive cytoreductive surgery followed by system chemotherapy, the mortality rate of ovarian cancer declined by 33% (<xref rid="B2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>). However, despite the markable achievement of ovarian cancer during the last decade, the prognosis for women with advanced disease remains poor and chemoresistance appears to be a significant obstacle constraining the clinical application (<xref rid="B3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>).

The possible discipline expounding PL-induced decrease of survivin protein expression may associate with its rapidly increased ubiquitin-proteasome degradation. In order to verify this supposition, our group preincubated A2780 and OVCAR-3 cells with proteasome inhibitors MG132 (1 μM). The results presented in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figures 3A,C</xref> demonstrated that MG132 reversed PL-mediated survivin depletion compared with control cells, hinting that PL-mediated degradation of survivin occurs via ubiquitin-proteasome mechanism.</p><fig id="F3" position="float"><label>Figure 3</label><caption><p>PL induces proteasome-dependently degradation of survivin.

However, in contrast to the result of the MG132, the expression levels of survivin stayed unchanged in response to autophagy inhibition (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figures 3B,D</xref>), indicating that the cellular autophagic flux is not involved in the PL-mediated degradation of survivin expression.

The first-line treatment for it is the tumor cytoreductive surgery combined with platinum-taxane chemotherapy (<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>, <xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>) or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by debulking surgery (<xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>). Although ~80% of patients will have a response to the frontline therapies, 25% of women within 6 months will experience resistant cancer recurrence, and the overall 5-year survival rate ranges between 30 and 40% on a global scale (<xref rid="B1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>). Thus, the explore of applicable treatment drugs remains a crucial goal for carrying out a better outcome.</p><p>Owing to the abnormal expression of anti-apoptotic proteins resulting in antitumor treatments less effective or ineffective, the reactivation of cell apoptosis becomes a potential therapy to conquer antitumor drug resistance. Survivin, the smallest member of IAP proteins, participates in the inhibition of apoptosis, affects the proper process of mitosis and promotes angiogenesis or even DNA repair (<xref rid="B28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>). Generally, abnormal expression of survivin is associated with decreased apoptosis, increased tumor recurrence, poor prognosis, and high chemoresistance in human ovarian cancer (<xref rid="B29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>, <xref rid="B30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>). Downregulating the expression of survivin elevated the sensitivity of ovarian cancer to chemotherapy and promoted apoptosis (<xref rid="B7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>, <xref rid="B31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>). Thus, elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of survivin protein expression in cancers may propose mechanistic clues to future therapeutic strategies (<xref rid="B32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>, <xref rid="B33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>). In general, survivin combines with XIAP to indirectly suppress the function of caspases. XAF1 binds to XIAP resulting in the activation of ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase (E3) activity of XIAP, then promotes survivin ubiquitination and degradation (<xref rid="B34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>). Conversely, the activation of ERK leads to the combination obstruction between survivin and the XIAP-XAF1 E3 ligase complex, which exactly stabilizes survivin proteins (<xref rid="B35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>). The proapoptotic F-box protein FBXL7 acting as a ubiquitin E3 ligase interacts with Glu-126 to modulate the polyubiquitylation of survivin and thereby enhance its proteasomal degradation (<xref rid="B36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>). Nonetheless, aurora kinase A (AURKA) restricts survivin to combine with FBXL7 E3 ubiquitin ligase through the negative regulation on FOXP1-FBXL7 axis, which upregulates the survivin expression (<xref rid="B37" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>). lncRNA LINC00473 (LNC473) remarkably suppresses the ubiquitination of survivin through recruiting deubiquitinase USP9X and then enhanced the stability of survivin (<xref rid="B38" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>). The Culling 9 (CUL9) is a putative E3 ligase and deplete the protein abundance of survivin via enhancing its ubiquitylation (<xref rid="B39" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>). Additionally, it has been reported that the ubiquitin-like-modifier proteins FAT10 (<xref rid="B40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>), the heat shock protein (HSP90) (<xref rid="B41" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>) and CSN5/JAB1 (<xref rid="B42" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>) directly bind to survivin and therefore are resistant to ubiquitin-proteasome degradation. Therefore, the therapeutic regiment targeting the survivin axis is pushing the door of ovarian cancer. Such treatments include regiments that target transcription or post-translational level, vaccines based on cytotoxic activities of immune-cells and gene therapy methods that suppress survivin's function (<xref rid="B43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>).</p><p>Piperlongumine, a biologically active alkaloid/amide isolated from peppers, has selectively excellent ability to inhibit tumor cells via the induction of oxidative stress and genotoxicity, as well as the significant oral bioavailability in mice burden tumor without unbearable systemic toxicity (<xref rid="B44" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>). We have previously reported that exposure of ovarian cancer cells to PL selectively suppressed cell viability in a concentration- and time-dependent manner (<xref rid="B11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>). We deeply take an insight into the underlying mechanism of PL-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer and find that survivin plays a vital role in the regulation of PL-mediated apoptosis in this study. Here, we firstly elucidated that PL induced apoptosis as well as the rapid depletion of survivin in ovarian cancer <italic>in vitro</italic> and <italic>vivo</italic>. Furthermore, overexpression of survivin raised the survival rate of ovarian cancer cells, implying that PL induced apoptosis of ovarian cancer via inhibiting survivin expression. In addition, our data suggested that the levels of survivin mRNA stayed unchanged under PL administration, indicating that PL induced depletion of survivin at the non-transcriptional level. This notion may lead to a rational concern about the strategy modulating either ubiquitin-proteasome or autophagy because both of them are the two primary proteolytic mechanisms. Then, a blockage of proteasome activity reversed the reduction of survivin by PL, as compared with keeping stable under autophagy inhibition. Otherwise, the previous studies also observed that the elevated levels of intracellular ROS induced by PL involved in the process of apoptosis in ovarian cancer. Considering that ROS-mediated signaling in cancer cells has long been thought to participate in malignant transformation, carcinogenesis initiation, and the survival of cancer cells, it is reasonable that the ROS-dependent pathway may take part in the regulation of survivin (<xref rid="B45" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>). In agreement with this notion, we observed that the apoptosis and the depletion of survivin under PL were reversed by NAC.</p><p>As all the data we assembled suggest, it is reasonable to regard the ROS-mediated proteasome-dependent mechanism as the major system responsible for the depletion of survivin under PL treatment. PL is on the way to transform ovarian cancer patients' outcomes and looking for finding its place in ovarian cancer therapeutic strategies.</p></sec><sec sec-type="data-availability" id="s5"><title>Data Availability Statement</title><p>All datasets generated for this study are included in the article/supplementary material.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>Ethics Statement</title><p>The animal study was reviewed and approved by the ethics committee of Jinan University.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Author Contributions</title><p>X-WN, L-HG, XC, ZS, and X-JY designed the experiments, performed the experiments, analyzed the data, and wrote the paper.
