High-mobility group A (HMGA) proteins have been examined to understand their participation as structural epigenetic chromatin factors that confer stem-like properties to embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and cancer stem cells (CSCs). The function of HMGA was evaluated in conjunction with that of other epigenetic factors such as histones and microRNAs (miRs), taking into consideration the posttranscriptional modifications (PTMs) of histones (acetylation and methylation) and DNA methylation. HMGA proteins were coordinated or associated with histone and DNA modification and the expression of the factors related to pluripotency. CSCs showed remarkable differences compared with ESCs and iPSCs.

Kanker payudara adalah kanker dengan angka kejadian tertinggi pada wanita. Protein yang terlibat dalam proses metastasis pada kanker adalah high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) dilaporkan memiliki efek farmakologi antikanker dan ekstrak etanol roasted licorice dapat mengurangi viabilitas metastasis sel kanker. Sistem penghantaran mikrosfer merupakan serbuk padat terdiri dari polimer, crosslinked, dan bahan aktif yang dapat memberikan efek terapeutik diperpanjang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memprediksi kemampuan licorice menghambat protein HMGB1 melalui molecular docking study dan mengetahui konsentrasi crosslinked natrium tripolifosfat yang paling optimal dalam formula kapsul mikrosfer ekstrak licorice. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan uji in silico berupa molecular docking dan uji ADMET, formulasi kapsul mikrosfer ekstrak licorice dengan variasi konsentrasi natrium tripolifosfat 3%, 6%, dan 9%, dan uji evaluasi mutu sediaan meliputi morfologi dan ukuran, sifat alir, penetapan kandungan, organoleptik, kadar air, waktu hancur, dan keseragaman bobot. Data hasil uji evaluasi dianalisis secara statistik menggunakan uji Kruskal Wallis melalui IBM SPSS 28.0. Hasil yang diperoleh yakni senyawa glycyrrhetic acid, liquiritin apioside, dan liquiritin berpotensi menghambat protein HMGB1, glycyrrhetic acid dan licochalcone A merupakan substrat CYP450 3A4, dan delapan senyawa merupakan substrat P-gp dengan kelas toksisitas rendah. Kemudian tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada hasil uji ketiga formula namun konsentrasi crosslinked natrium tripolifosfat yang paling optimum dapat terlihat melalui uji evaluasi mutu sediaan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah senyawa glycyrrhetic acid, liquiritin apioside, dan liquiritin dalam licorice berpotensi menghambat HMGB1 dan formula mikrosfer yang memenuhi uji evaluasi paling baik adalah formula dengan konsentrasi natrium tripolifosfat 3%.

The High Mobility Group A (HMGA) proteins, a family of DNA architectural factors, by interacting with different proteins play crucial roles in neoplastic transformation of a wide range of tissues. Therefore, the search for HMGA-interacting partners was carried out by several laboratories in order to investigate the mechanisms underlying HMGA-dependent tumorigenesis. Three of the several HMGA-binding proteins are discussed in this review. These are the Chromobox family protein (chromobox protein homolog 7, CBX7), the homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) and the POZ/domain and Kruppel zinc finger family member, PATZ. All of them play a critical role in tumorigenesis, and may also be independent markers of cancer. Their activities are linked to cell cycle, apoptosis and senescence. In this review, we discuss the properties of each protein, including their effect on HMGA1 functions, and propose a model accounting for how their activities might be coordinated.

Background: High mobility group A proteins are involved in chromatin remodeling, thereby influencing multiple fundamental biological processes. HMGA2 has been linked to oncogenic traits among a variety of malignancies. Objective: To determine the prognostic implications of subcellular distribution patterns of HMGA2 in breast cancer. Methods: Nuclear and cytoplasmic HMGA2 was evaluated in 342 breast cancer specimens and matched with clinico-pathological parameters. Results: Overall and cytoplasmic, but not nuclear, levels of HMGA2 correlated with better survival prognoses in our collective (hazard ratio (HR) 0.34, P = 0.001 and HR 0.34, P < 0.001, respectively). The protective effect of cytoplasmic HMGA2 persisted in the Luminal A and triple negative breast cancer subgroups. Evaluating Luminal A and B subgroups jointly, only cytoplasmic, but not overall or nuclear HMGA2 levels were associated with better survival (HR 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.21, 0.86, P = 0.017), irrespective of tumor size and node status. The addition of HMGA2 overall and cytoplasmic scores strengthened the prognostic selectivity in a model of conventional breast cancer risk factors. No predictive significance with regard to endocrine or chemoendocrine therapies was observed. Conclusion: Unexpectedly, we found a favorable survival probability upon overall levels of HMGA2 in our breast cancer collective, which was predominantly determined by the presence of HMGA2 in the cytoplasm.

HMGA (high mobility group A) (HMGA1 and HMGA2) are small non-histone proteins that can bind DNA and modify chromatin state, thus modulating the accessibility of regulatory factors to the DNA and contributing to the overall panorama of gene expression tuning. In general, they are abundantly expressed during embryogenesis, but are downregulated in the adult differentiated tissues. In the present review, we summarize some aspects of their role during development, also dealing with relevant studies that have shed light on their functioning in cell biology and with emerging possible involvement of HMGA1 and HMGA2 in evolutionary biology.
