Project description:We have developed cdk4/hTERT-immortalized normal human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) to study lung cancer pathogenesis. By studying the oncogenic effect of common lung cancer alterations (p53, KRAS, and c-MYC) we demonstrate the ability of this model to characterize the stepwise transformation of bronchial epithelial cells to full malignancy. Using HBECs derived from multiple individuals we found: 1) the combination of five genetic alterations (p53, KRASV12, c-MYC, CDK4 and hTERT) is sufficient for full tumorigenic conversion of HBECs; 2) high levels of KRASV12 are required for full malignant transformation of HBECs, however these levels also stimulate oncogene-induced senescence; 3) RAS-induced senescence is largely bypassed with loss of p53 function; 4) over-expression of c-MYC greatly enhances malignancy but only in the context of sh-p53+KRASV12; 5) HBECs from different individuals vary in their sensitivity to transformation by these oncogenic manipulations; 6) serum-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) increases in vivo tumorigenicity; 7) genetically-identical clones of transformed HBECs exhibit pronounced differences in tumor growth, histology, and differentiation as well as sensitivity to standard platinum-based chemotherapies; and 8) an mRNA signature derived from tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic clones is predictive of outcome in lung cancer patients. Collectively, we demonstrate this HBEC model system can be used to study the effect of oncogenic mutations on malignant progression, oncogene-induced senescence, and EMT along with clinically translatable applications such as development of prognostic signatures and drug response phenotypes. Human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) immortalized with cdk4 and hTERT were transformed with p53 knockdown, KrasV12 and cMYC over-expression and profiled on Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchips. Transformed HBECs were grown in two different growth media: KSFM (defined, serum-free medium) or R10 (RPMI with 10% FBS) as indicated. Clones were isolated from HBECs with sh-p53 + KrasV12 and sh-p53 + KrasV12 + cMYC.

Project description:Isoproterenol, a β-adrenergic agonist, has been shown to induce salivary gland hyperplasia. To gain a better understanding of the underlying molecular changes altered by isoproterenol, microarray-based gene expression analysis was conducted on rat parotid glands at 10, 30, and 60 minutes after isoproterenol injection. After isoproterenol treatment, the number of differentially expressed genes was increased in a time-dependent manner. The regulation of up- and down-expression of genes related to cell proliferation/survival provides a better understanding of the mechanism of isoproterenol-induced parotid gland enlargement. For the time-course experiments, male Sprague-Dawley rats (2-3 months old) were injected intra-peritoneally with isoproterenol (20 mg/g body weight) or normal saline (control). The rats were euthanized at the indicated times and the harvested parotid glands stored at -80C until analyzed. Cells were harvested and processed at the following times: control (saline), immediately after treatment (10 min) and at 30 and 60min after treatment.

Project description:Glucocorticoid resistance is a major driver of therapeutic failure in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Here we identify the AKT1 kinase as a signaling factor driving glucocorticoid resistance in T-ALL. Mechanistically, AKT1 directly phosphorylates the glucocorticoid receptor NR3C1 protein and blocks glucocorticoid-induced NR3C1 transcription by inhibiting glucocorticoid-induced NT3C1 translocation to the nucleus. Consistently, pharmacologic inhibition of AKT1 increases the response of T-ALL cells to glucocorticoid therapy and effectively reverses glucocorticoid resistance in vitro and in vivo. These results warrant the clinical testing of AKT1 inhibitors and glucocorticoids in combination for the treatment of T-ALL.

Project description:Constitutive activation of the anti-apoptotic NF-κB signaling pathway is a hallmark of the activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) that is characterized by adverse survival. Recurrent oncogenic mutations are found in the scaffold protein CARMA1 (CARD11) that connects B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling to the canonical NF-κB pathway. We asked how far additional downstream processes are activated and contribute to the oncogenic potential of DLBCL-derived CARMA1 mutants. To this end, we expressed oncogenic CARMA1 mutants in the NF-κB negative DLBCL lymphoma cell line BJAB. By a proteomic approach we identified recruitment of β-Catenin and its destruction complex consisting of APC, AXIN1, CK1α and GSK3β to oncogenic CARMA1. Recruitment of the β-Catenin destruction complex was independent of CARMA1-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) complex formation or constitutive NF-κB activation and promoted the stabilization of β-Catenin. Elevated β-Catenin expression was detected in cell lines and biopsies from ABC DLBCL that rely on chronic BCR signaling. Increased β-Catenin amounts alone were not sufficient to induce classical WNT target gene signatures, but could augment TCF/LEF dependent transcriptional activation in response to WNT signaling. In conjunction with NF-κB, β-Catenin enhanced expression of immune suppressive IL-10 and repressed anti-tumoral CCL3, indicating that β-Catenin may induce a favorable tumor microenvironment. Thus, parallel activation of NF-κB and β-Catenin signaling by gain-of-function mutations in CARMA1 can augment WNT stimulation and is required for maintaining high expression of distinct NF-κB target genes and can thereby trigger cell intrinsic and extrinsic processes that promote DLBCL lymphomagenesis. CARMA1 mutants were expressed in BJAB, an NF-κB negative GCB DLBCL lymphoma cell line. Gene expression induced by GCB DLBCL derived CARMA1 L225LI mutant was compared with the empty vector (mock) control, CARMA1 WT, CARMA1 point mutant R35A and with CARMA1 double mutant R35A/L225LI.

Project description:The oncogenic transcription factor Myc is a pleiotropic regulator of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII)-dependent transcription, DNA replication and DNA damage response pathways. Myc is stringently regulated by the ubiquitin system - for example, ubiquitination controls recruitment of the elongation factor Paf1c, which is critical for several Myc functions. Curiously, a key Myc-targeting deubiquitinase Usp28 also controls cellular response to DNA damage via the mediator protein 53bp1. Usp28 forms stable dimers, but the biological role of Usp28 dimerization is unknown. We show that dimerization limits Usp28 activity and restricts recruitment of Paf1c by Myc. Expression of monomeric Usp28 leads to ectopic Paf1c recruitment and resolution of transcription-replication conflicts, accelerating DNA synthesis. Strikingly, 53bp1 selectively interacts with and stabilizes dimeric Usp28 - depletion of 53bp1 favors formation of Usp28 monomers deregulating DNA replication. Genotoxic stress disrupts 53bp1-Usp28 complexes, promotes formation of Usp28 monomers and recruitment of Paf1 by Myc. This triggers ectopic DNA synthesis during early response to genotoxins, amplifying DNA damage. We propose that dimerization of Usp28 limits aberrant replication at transcriptionally active chromatin to maintain genome stability.

Project description:Prostate cancer is the commonest male cancer in Europe and the USA. The androgen receptor is a key transcription factor contributing to the development of all stages of the disease. In addition, other transcription factors have been associated with poor prognosis in prostate cancer, amongst which c-Myc is a well-established oncogene in many other cancers. We have previously reported that a role for the androgen receptor in prostate cancer is to promote glycolysis and anabolic metabolism. Many of these metabolic pathways are also c-Myc-regulated in other cancers. In this study we report that de novo purine biosynthesis is a c-Myc-dependent pathway in prostate cancer cells as determined by commensurate changes in the levels of enzymes in the pathway in response to siRNA knockdown of c-Myc and inducible overexpression of c-Myc. In addition c-Myc is recruited to the promoters of genes in the pathway as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Using immunohistochemistry and real-time transcript detection we show that two enzymes (PAICS and IMPDH2) within the pathway are overexpressed in prostate cancers. An inhibitor of IMPDH2 reduces cell proliferation and significantly reduces the levels of guanosine triphosphate within treated cells. This imposes nucleolar stress on cells as determined by significant reductions in the levels of guanine nucleotide binding protein-like 3 (GNL3). In addition the levels of c-Myc, p53 and the androgen receptor are affected and the expression of tumour suppressive microRNA-34b is increased. Combining the IMPDH2 inhibitor with anti-androgens results in a combinatorial inhibition of cell proliferation. In conclusion we propose using enzymes within the de novo purine biosynthesis as cancer biomarkers and applying drugs to alter the flux through this pathway may represent an effective means of stratifying patients for therapy and sensitising some to AR-targeted therapies. Total RNA of three biological replicates for each condition was extracted using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen), conditions are: 5 h vehicle, 5 h Doxycycline, 12 h vehicle, 12 h Doxycyline
