Figure Lengend Snippet: The increased PSMB10 impedes RPL6/RPS6-MDM2-P21-induced senescence initiation in AML cells. A Scattergram of upregulated pathways based on KEGG analysis of quantitative proteomics. B-C Changes in protein levels ( B ) and representative images of SA-β-Gal staining ( C ) in the indicated lentivirus-transfected THP-1 cells. Scale bar, 50 μm. D-G Immunoprecipitation assay between RPL6 or RPS6 and PSMB10 ( D ), RPS6 (top) or RPL6 (bottom) and MDM2 or PSMB10 ( E ), MDM2 and RPL6 or RPS6 or P21 ( F ), and MDM2 and P21 ( G ) in THP-1 cells. H shPSMB10-transfected THP-1 cells were treated with CHX for the indicated times, and RPS6 and RPL6 protein levels were detected via WB analysis. I Ubiquitination assay of (left) RPL6 and (right) RPS6 in shPSMB10- or shCTRL-transfected THP-1 cells. J-K Changes in the protein levels of RPL6, MDM2, and P21 ( J ), and representative images of SA-β-Gal staining ( K ) in shCTRL- and shRPL6-transduced THP-1 cells with shPSMB10. Scale bar, 50 μm. L Polysome profiling of shRPL6- or shCTRL-transduced THP-1 cells. M Polysome profiling coupled with qRT‒PCR analysis of shCTRL- and shRPL6-transduced THP-1 cells: MDM2 mRNA distribution in different ribosome fractions (left), and statistical histogram of MDM2 mRNA in the nonribosome portion and polysomes (right). N–O Changes in the protein levels of RPS6, MDM2, and P21 ( N ), and representative images of SA-β-Gal staining ( O ) in shCTRL- and shRPS6-transduced THP-1 cells with shPSMB10. Scale bar, 50 μm. P Statistical histogram of MDM2 translation initiation efficacy, defined as the quotient of reporter protein production (F-luc/R-luc). Q Immunoprecipitation assay between RPS6 and MDM2 in control shRNA- or RPL6 shRNA-transfected THP-1 cells transfected with shPSMB10. R Immunoprecipitation assay between RPL6 and MDM2 in control shRNA- or RPS6 shRNA-transfected THP-1 cells transfected with shPSMB10. OE: overexpression; SA-β-Gal: senescence-associated β-galactosidase; WT: wild-type; IP: immunoprecipitation; CHX: cycloheximide; Fract: fraction; IgG: Immunoglobulin G; NC: negative control; Ub: ubiquitination. **** p < 0.0001 (t test). ns, not significant.
