    Abstract:
    All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has demonstrated notable success in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) by inducing granulocytic differentiation. The underlying mechanisms of ATRA therapeutic effects have not been entirely clarified. Here, we reported that the regulation of neddylation, a ubiquitination-like post-translational modification, was involved in the treatment of ATRA on APL. Treating APL cells with ATRA led to the degradation of UBA3, a subunit of neddylation E1. Lysosome-autophagy pathway but not proteasome pathway was responsible for the degradation of UBA3. Neddylation suppression in APL cells was capable of inducing apoptosis, differentiation and proliferation inhibition, suggesting a pivotal role of neddylation in APL cells. ATRA treatment also led to UBA3 degradation in primary APL cells. Taken together, our findings indicated that neddylation was important to maintain the malignant features of APL cells, and suppression of neddylation was involved in the effects of ATRA on APL cells.
