Pak1-ATF2 signaling axis induces miR-132 to inhibit hematogenous metastasis

ABSTRACT: Pak1 as a serine/threonine kinase, has been implicated in cytoskeletal remodelling, cell motility, apoptosis and transformation. Pak1 plays important roles in multiple signal pathways. Pak1 protects cells from apoptosis through at least three different pathways including forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and DLC1. Pak1 also regulates activity of Raf and Aurora kinases to affect cellular proliferation. Overexpression of Pak1 is involved in the regulation of actin assembly and disassembly through phosphorylations of LIM Kinase and cytoskeletal associated proteins such as Filamin A, Paxillin, Caldesmon, Cortactin and Arp2/3. Pak1 also regulates microtubule dynamics via activation of tubulin cofactor B (TCoB) and DLC1, and inhibition of stathmin. In spite of a large body of work about the mechanism of Pak1 action in cancer, it remains unknown whether Pak1 signaling could potentially regulate the biology of regulatory miRNAs. This is particularly relevant for gastric cancer because Pak1 can activate many regulators of miRNAs expression in gastric cancer cells including NF-kappaB and ERK, and Pak1 signaling has profound phenotypic effects on the biology of gastric cancer cells. We constructed Pak1 knockdown stable cell lines. The stable Pak1 knockdown gastric cancer BGC823 cells and control cells were performed miRNA chip analysis by CapitalBio company. Gastric cancer BGC823 cells with stable Pak1 knockdown and BGC-823 gastric cancer cells transfected with U6 were used in this experiment. Total RNA was extracted by trizol,Here we use a Capitalbio mammal microRNA V3.0(CapitalBio, Beijing, China) containing 509 well-characterized human, mouse and rat miRNAs and various controls to profile the expression levels of miRNA in 16 and conU6 group.three chip were test in each group, and the procedure was repeated twice.

Project description:Deleted in Liver Cancer-1 (DLC1), a member of the RhoGAP family of proteins, functions as a tumor suppressor in several cancers including breast cancer. However, its clinical relevance is unclear in breast cancer. In this study, expression of DLC1 was correlated with prognosis using publicly available breast cancer gene expression datasets and quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR in cohorts of Estrogen Receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. Mutation and methylation status of DLC1 were assessed in these datasets including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). To seek further insights in understanding the role of DLC1 in ER+ breast cancer, we developed a knock-in model of DLC1 in T47D breast cancer cells. Label-free global proteomic and TiO2 phosphopeptide enrichment assays were performed and validated using Western blotting. Here, we report that low expression of DLC1 correlates with poor prognosis in patients with ER+ breast cancer with further decrease in metastatic lesions. Analysis of the TCGA data showed that down regulation of DLC1 is not due to methylation or mutations. Stable knock-in of DLC1-full-length inhibits cell growth significantly in vitro compared to its control counterpart. 6726 phosphopeptides were quantified by phosphoproteomics analysis in both conditons, whereas 205 and 122 were unique to DLC1 knock-in and T47D-control cells, respectively. Pathway analysis using DAVID showed the top three significant clusters of differentially identified phosphopeptides involving cell-cell adhesion, mRNA processing and splicing, and transcription regulation. Decreased phosphorylation of epithelial cell transforming sequence 2 (ECT2) at the residue T359, critical for its active conformational change was validated. In conclusion, this data suggests that high expression of DLC1 reduces cell growth and is associated with favorable prognosis. Our results document an inverse relation between ECT2 phosphorylation and DLC1 expression, promising a novel strategy for treating ER+ breast cancer.
