Oncogenic PI3K mutations lead to NF-kB-dependent cytokine expression following growth

ABSTRACT: While growth factor-independent signaling and proliferation are well-established hallmarks of cancer, little is known regarding growth factor-independent changes in gene expression which occur downstream from oncogenes. The PI3K pathway is one of the most commonly misregulated signaling pathways in human cancers. Here, MCF10A cells expressing the two most common PI3K mutations, PIK3CA E545K and H1047R, were used to identify the repertoire of genes altered by oncogenic PI3K mutations following growth factor deprivation. This gene set most closely correlated with gene signatures from claudin-low and basal-like breast tumors, and categorical enrichment analyses suggested that NF-kB target genes were dramatically upregulated by these mutations. An IKKb inhibitor was used to identify the subset of PI3K-driven genes that is NF-kB dependent. Interestingly, virtually all of these NF-kB dependent genes were secreted proteins, suggesting a paracrine role for this gene set. Among these genes was IL-6, a cytokine frequently expressed in tumors which plays a critical role in generating a tumor-promoting microenvironment. Consistent with this, conditioned media from cells expressing the E545K or H1047R mutations led to increased STAT3 activation in recipient THP-1 monocytes or normal epithelial cells in a NF-kB and IL-6-dependent manner. Together, these data describe a PI3K-driven, NF-kB-dependent gene expression profile which may play a critical role in promoting a microenvironment amenable to tumor progression. 39 normal cell lines vs treated cell lines for micorarray analysis

Transcriptome analysis of mouse tumors driven by PIK3CA mutation variants

Project description:The RTK/RAS/PI3K pathway is a key driver of tumorigenesis across all cancers, with 90% of Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors exhibiting alterations in this pathway. Among the specific genes in this pathway mutations in PI3K’s catalytic subunit, PIK3CA, are found in 11% of GBM tumors. Sequencing of GBM samples has revealed several known hotspot mutations that drive tumorigenesis in several cancers (E545K, H1047R), as well as a series of 63 in frame mutations (as indexed in COSMIC) that remain largely unclassified. To decode which of these PIK3CA variants function as drivers of GBM, we established an in vivo complementation screening platform for GBM. Our mouse GBM model relies on in utero electroporation (IUE) and CRISPR-Cas9 mediated knockout of NF1, p53, and PTEN (termed 3xCR). Because PTEN catalyzes the reverse reaction of PIK3CA, phosphorylation of PIP2 to PIP3, we complemented loss of PTEN with overexpression of E545K or H1047R, two bona fide hot spot driver mutations of PIK3CA. Both these variants accelerated tumor associated death, demonstrating that known PIK3CA drivers can complement PTEN loss in our system.

GSK-3alpha Promotes Oncogenic KRAS Function in Pancreatic Cancer via TAK1-TAB Stabilization and Regulation of Non-Canonical NF-kB

Project description:Mutations in KRAS occur in a variety of tumors of epithelial origin, driving the oncogenic phenotype.The NF-kB transcription factor pathway is important for oncogenic RAS to transform cells and to drive tumorigenesis in animal models. Recently TAK1, an upstream regulator of IKK which controls canonical NF-kB, was shown to be important for chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer and for regulating KRAS+ colorectal cancer cell growth and survival. Here we show that GSK-3alpha is upregulated by KRAS leading to interaction with TAK1 to stabilize the TAK1/TAB complex to promote IKK activity. Additionally, GSK-3alpha is required for promoting critical non-canonical NF-kB signaling in pancreatic cancer cells. Pharmacologic inhibition of GSK-3 suppresses growth of human pancreatic tumor explants, consistent with loss of expression of genes such as c-myc and TERT. These data identify GSK-3alpha as a key downstream effector of oncogenic RAS via its ability to coordinately regulate distinct NF-kB signaling pathways GSK-3 inhibition at 2 and 8 hours

Role of NF-kB in aging

Project description:To address the role of NF-kB in aging in vivo, we utilized a well-characterized system that allows inducible and site-specific inhibition of NF-kB activity in murine skin. The hormone binding domain of the mutant estrogen receptor that is responsive to 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) was fused to a mutant of p50 (IDNkB, inducible dominant negative NF-kB) that dimerizes with other NF-kB subunits but is unable to bind DNA, thus dominantly inhibiting NF-kB activity. Expression was driven within the basal layer of murine epidermis by the keratin 14 promoter in transgenic mice. To test whether NF-kB activity is required to maintain age-associated gene expression, we applied topical 4-OHT and ethanol vehicle (EtOH) for two weeks to the right (R) and left (L) dorsal flanks, respectively, of chronologically aged transgenic mice (O, 18-23 months). Young transgenic mice (Y, 1 month) were treated in parallel as control. Skin samples were harvested and analyzed for gene expression using mouse cDNA microarrays containing 35,217 elements, representing 18,880 unique genes. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. Keywords: Logical Set Computed

PIK3CA-dependent hepatocarcinogenesis. A microarray comparing PIK3CA E545K and H1047R injected mice compared to age matched controls.

Project description:Gene expression microarray analyses of PIK3CA H1047R and E545K induced preneoplastic lesions and tumors compared to age matched controls. Plasmids expressing oncogenic forms of PIK3CA (H1047R or E545K mutants) were delivered to the mouse liver by tail vein hydrodynamic injection combined with Sleeping Beauty–mediated somatic integration (SBT-HTVI). Resulting preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions were subjected to gene expression microarray analysis. The putative PIK3CA target gene Galectin1 (Gal1) was further characterized by in vitro studies. Transfection of either PIK3CA E545K or H1047R mutants via SBT-HTVI was sufficient to induce hepatocellular carcinomas in mice. A stepwise hepatocarcinogenesis from singular pericentral lipid-rich preneoplastic hepatocytes to clusters, expansive preneoplastic lesions, and HCCs was observed. In PIK3CA H1047R injected mice, HCCs were detected in the 12 months injection group, while PIK3CA E545K injections resulted in tumor occurrence as early as 3 months after SB-HTVI. Histologically, a predominant lipid-rich phenotype characterized all tumorigenesis stages, as confirmed by Sudan III staining and electron microscopy. Immunohistochemically, preneoplastic lesions and tumors displayed high levels of the lipid master regulators Fatty acid synthase and Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1. Gal1 was commonly overexpressed in PIK3CA-driven preneoplastic and neoplastic liver lesions by gene expression microarray analysis compared with age-matched controls.

Activating Mutations in PIK3CA result in Widespread Modulation of the Tyrosine Phosphoproteome

Project description:The human oncogene PIK3CA is frequently mutated in human cancers. The two hotspot mutations in PIK3CA, E545K and H1047R, have been shown to regulate widespread signaling events downstream of AKT. However, the impact of these activating mutations on the tyrosine phosphorylation signaling in the cell has not been studied. Here, we performed a global phosphotyrosine profiling using isogenic knockin cell lines containing these activating mutations. We identified 824 unique phosphopeptides from 308 proteins. We found a surprisingly widespread modulation of tyrosine phosphorylation levels of proteins in the knockin mutant cells, with many of the regulated proteins involved in important biological processes, including those in the cytoskeletal migration pathways and kinase regulated signaling. We observed a widespread modulation of the tyrosine kinome, with 24 of the tyrosine kinases showing either upregulation or downregulation in phosphorylation levels. Many of the regulated phosphosites that we identified were located in the kinase domain or the canonical activating sites, indicating that the kinases were active and hence their downstream signaling pathways. Our study thus shows that the activating mutations in PIK3CA result in widespread tyrosine signaling regulation, in addition to the serine/threonine signaling pathways activated by the canonical PI3K-AKT axis.

The TSC/mTOR pathway regulates the innate inflammatory response

Project description:The TSC/mTOR (tuberous sclerosis complex/mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway has a central role in cell growth and is involved in human tumorigenesis. Here, we demonstrate an unexpected role of TSC2 and mTOR in regulating key inflammatory cytokines in monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells after bacterial stimulation. mTOR deficiency promoted IL-12/IL-23 and blocked IL-10 production via the transcription factor NF-kB. Conversely, loss of TSC2, a key negative regulator of mTOR, led to reduced NF-kB activity, limited IL-12 but enhanced IL-10 production. Transcriptional profiling demonstrated that mTOR additionally regulated many mediators important for inflammation and immunoregulation including PD-L1, CCR5, CCL22, and MCP-1. mTOR inhibition in vivo rescued susceptible mice from a lethal Listeria monocytogenes infection by modulating IL-12/IL-10 production. These data identify the TSC2/mTOR pathway as a novel pathway in innate immune responses by controlling NF-kB with profound clinical implications for infectious diseases, cancer, or transplantation. Keywords: inflammatory response of monocytes to LPS and rapamycin 107 CD14+ monocytes from four different donors were stimulated with 100 ng/ml LPS with or without 100 nM rapamycin for 4 hours. Cells were harvested, washed and pelleted and frozen at â80Â° C. Sample preparation and hybridization to a PIQORTM Immunology Microarray Human Antisense (quadrupled cDNA fragments for 1070 genes) was performed at the Miltenyi Microarray Service Unit. In brief, RNA was extracted with the TRIzol method (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1mg of total RNA was linear amplified by T7 polymerase. Total RNA from the LPS treated cells were Cy3 labeled, LPS and rapamycin treated cells were Cy5 labeled; both samples of a donor were hybridized on a single microarray. Only genes with signal intensities >2-fold above average background in one of the two channels were regarded as expressed.

Conditional loss of ErbB3 delays mammary gland hyperplasias induced by mutant PIK3CA but does not affect mammary tumor latency, gene expression or signaling

Project description:Mutations in PIK3CA, the gene encoding the p110α subunit of PI3K, induce transformation of mammary epithelial cells (MEC). Studies suggest the transforming action of mutant PIK3CA requires binding to activated receptor tyrosine kinases or adaptors. We examined in transgenic mice if ErbB3, a powerful activator of PI3K, is required for mutant PIK3CA-mediated MEC transformation. ErbB3 loss delayed PIK3CAH1047R-dependent mammary gland hyperplasia, but tumor latency, gene expression and markers of PI3K signaling were unaffected. In ErbB3-deficient tumors, mutant PI3K remained associated with other tyrosine phosphorylated adaptors, potentially explaining the dispensability of ErbB3 for tumorigenicity and PI3K activity. Combined inhibition of ErbB RTKs and PI3K with lapatinib and the p110α inhibitor BYL719, respectively, reduced PIK3CAH1047R-dependent tumor growth and PI3K signaling more potently than the p110α inhibitor alone. In human breast cancer cells harboring PIK3CAH1047R, the combination with BYL719 and an ErbB3 inhibitor synergistically inhibited tumor growth and P-Akt. These data suggest that basal tumor growth and PI3K signaling do not depend on ErbB RTKs in PIK3CAH1047R-expressing tumors. However, upon inhibition of p110α, these receptors limit the action of PI3K inhibitors potentially explaining the more potent effect of the combination against PI3K-mutant cancers. reference x sample
