	abstract = {The acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) driver ZBTB16/RARα is generated by the t(11;17) (q23;q21) chromosomal translocation, which is resistant to combined treatment of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) or conventional chemotherapy, resulting in extremely low survival rates. In the current study, we investigated the effects of hyperthermia on the oncogenic fusion ZBTB16/RARα protein to explore a potential therapeutic approach for this variant APL. We showed that Z/R fusion protein expressed in HeLa cells was resistant to ATO, ATRA, and conventional chemotherapeutic agents. However, mild hyperthermia (42 °C) rapidly destabilized the ZBTB16/RARα fusion protein expressed in HeLa, 293T, and OCI-AML3 cells, followed by robust ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. In contrast, hyperthermia did not affect the normal (i.e., unfused) ZBTB16 and RARα proteins, suggesting a specific thermal sensitivity of the ZBTB16/RARα fusion protein. Importantly, we found that the destabilization of ZBTB16/RARα was the initial step for oncogenic fusion protein degradation by hyperthermia, which could be blocked by deletion of nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR) binding sites or knockdown of NCoRs. Furthermore, SIAH2 was identified as the E3 ligase participating in hyperthermia-induced ubiquitination of ZBTB16/RARα. In short, these results demonstrate that hyperthermia could effectively destabilize and subsequently degrade the ZBTB16/RARα fusion protein in an NCoR-dependent manner, suggesting a thermal-based therapeutic strategy that may improve the outcome in refractory ZBTB16/RARα-driven APL patients in the clinic.},
