MPV17 does not control cancer cell proliferation

ABSTRACT: MPV17 is described as a mitochondrial inner membrane channel. Although its function remains elusive, mutations in the MPV17 gene results in hepato-cerebral mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. However, in this study, we show that MPV17 silencing does not induce depletion in mitochondrial DNA content in cancer cells. We also show that MPV17 silencing does not control cancer cell proliferation, despite the fact that we initially observed a reduced proliferation rate in five MPV17-silenced cancer cell lines with two different shRNAs. This reduced proliferation phenotype might be due to off-target effects of shRNA-mediated knockdown. RNA interference has been a quantum leap in the field of functional genomic. This scientific breakthrough is a straightforward approach to monitor the aftermaths of the functional loss of a specific gene. However, one must beware the illusion of control that comes with any new technology and acknowledge the unintended events embedded to it. Our results illustrate the insidiousness of off-target effects and emphasize the caution that is required when scientific conclusions are drawn from a work based on lentiviral vector-based gene silencing. They also clearly demonstrate the need to systematically perform a rescue experiment in order to ascertain the specific nature of the experimental results.

Transcription profiling of human xenografted nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumor cell lines and an untransformed diploid fibroblast cell line

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to investigate the gene expression profile of two xenografted nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumors - C15 and C17 which are international reference tools for biological investigations of this type of disease. C15 and C17 transcriptome was profiled by comparison with human untransformed diploid fibroblasts, MRC5. These fibroblasts are very sensitive to contact inhibition and were collected after 3 days of confluence, therefore in a quiescent state. We acknowledge that malignant nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and MRC5 cells do not belong to the same lineage (epithelial cells versus fibroblasts). However this combination was expected to highlight genes involved in proliferation of NPC cells. Competitive hybridisation of cDNA for each pair C15 and MRC5, C17 and MRC5 was performed on Agilent microarrays containing 22 000 60mer oligonucleotides related to 16 000 human transcripts. The analysis was focused mainly on genes overexpressed in both C15 and C17 by comparison with MRC5

eIF4GI Links Nutrient Sensing by mTOR to Cell Proliferation and Inhibition of Autophagy

Project description:Translation initiation factors have complex functions in cells which are not yet understood. We show that depletion of initiation factor eIF4GI only modestly reduces overall protein synthesis in cells, but phenocopies nutrient-starvation or inhibition of protein kinase mTOR, a key nutrient sensor. eIF4GI depletion impairs cell proliferation, bioenergetics and mitochondrial activity, thereby promoting autophagy. Translation of mRNAs involved in cell growth, proliferation and bioenergetics were selectively inhibited by reduction of eIF4GI, whereas mRNAs encoding proliferation inhibitors and catabolic pathway factors were increased. Depletion or over-expression of other eIF4G family members did not recapitulate these results. The majority of mRNAs that were translationally impaired with eIF4GI depletion were excluded from polyribosomes due to the presence of multiple upstream open reading frames and low mRNA abundance. These results suggest that the high levels of eIF4GI observed in many breast cancers might act to specifically increase proliferation, prevent autophagy and release tumor cells from control by nutrient sensing.

Differential gene expression analysis in liver, inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), skeletal muscle, and hypothalamus of mice with liver-specific Crif1 deficiency

Project description:CR6-interacting factor-1 (CRIF1) interacting with large mitoribosome subunits is essential for the maturation and insertion of oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) polypeptides into the mitochondrial inner membrane. Recently, it has reported that the genetic ablation of Crif1 in a tissue-specific manner results in mitochondrial stress response (MSR) including mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt). In this study, we aim to obtain a comprehensive understanding of systemic energy metabolism in response to hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction. Through the liver-specific Crif1 deficient mice (LKO), we explore the adaptive response not only in the liver but also in inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT). Moreover, RNA sequencing in liver, iWAT, skeletal muscle, and hypothalamus suggest that hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction enhance metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, fatty acid elongation and degradation, and 1C metabolism in liver and insulin signaling in iWAT. RNA sequencing also suggests that hepato-mitokines, GDF15 and FGF21 are highly increased in liver of LKO mice. To identify the role of hepato-mitokines, we generate double knockout mice (LKO/Gdf15-/- and LKO/Fgf21-/-), suggesting that GDF15 is responsible for the regulation of the body and fat mass and FGF21 has a critical role for the insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure in this mice.

Arginine starvation kills tumor cells through aspartate exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction

Project description:Defective arginine synthesis, due to the silencing of argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1), is a common metabolic vulnerability in cancer, known as arginine auxotrophy. Understanding how arginine depletion kills arginine-auxotrophic cancer cells will facilitate the development of anti-cancer therapeutic strategies. Here we show that depletion of extracellular arginine in arginine-auxotrophic cancer cells causes mitochondrial distress and transcriptional reprogramming. Mechanistically, arginine starvation induces asparagine synthetase (ASNS), depleting these cancer cells of aspartate, and disrupting their malate-aspartate shuttle. Supplementation of aspartate, depletion of mitochondria, and knockdown of ASNS all protect the arginine-starved cells, establishing the causal effects of aspartate depletion and mitochondrial dysfunction on the arginine starvation-induced cell death. Furthermore, dietary arginine restriction reduced tumor growth in a xenograft model of ASS1-deficient breast cancer. Our data challenge the view that ASNS promotes homeostasis, arguing instead that ASNS-induced aspartate depletion promotes cytotoxicity, which can be exploited for anti-cancer therapies.

SMARCA4 Phosphorilation inhibition

Project description:Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 9 (CDK9) as part of the PTEFb complex promotes transcriptional elongation and high-level gene expression. We now report that, paradoxically, CDK9 is also essential for maintaining gene silencing at heterochromatic loci. Through a live cell screen, we discovered that CDK9 inhibition reactivates epigenetically silenced genes in cancer, leading to restored tumor suppressor gene expression and cell differentiation, along with activation of endogenous retrovirus (ERV) genes. CDK9 inhibition maintains gene silencing directly through phosphorylation of the SWI/SNF protein SMARCA4 and indirectly through HP1α activation. Based on gene activation, we developed the highly selective and 2 potent CDK9 inhibitor MC180295 (IC50 =5.1nM) that has broad anti-cancer activity in-vitro and is effective in in-vivo cancer models. Additionally, CDK9 inhibition synergizes with the immune checkpoint inhibitor α-PD-1 in vivo, making it an excellent target for epigenetic therapy of cancer.

Genomic Grade Index (GGI): Feasibility in routine practice and impact on treatment decisions in early breast cancer

Project description:Genomic Grade Index (GGI) is a 97-gene signature that improves histologic grade (HG) classification in invasive breast carcinoma. In this prospective study we sought to evaluate the feasibility of performing GGI in routine clinical practice and its impact on treatment recommendations. Patients with pT1pT2 or operable pT3, N0-3 invasive breast carcinoma were recruited from 8 centers in Belgium. Fresh surgical samples were sent at room temperature in the MapQuant DxM-bM-^DM-" PathKit for centralized genomic analysis. Genomic profiles were determined using Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 and GGI calculated using the MapQuant DxM-bM-^DM-" protocol, which defines tumors as low or high Genomic Grade (GG-1 and GG-3 respectively). 180 pts were recruited and 155 were eligible. The MapQuant test was performed in 142 cases and GGI was obtained in 78% of cases (n=111). Reasons for failures were 15 samples with <30% of invasive tumor cells (11%), 15 with insufficient RNA quality (10%), and 1 failed hybridization (<1%). For tumors with an available representative sample (M-bM-^IM-% 30% inv. tumor cells) (n=127), the success rate was 87.5 %. GGI reclassified 69% of the 54 HG2 tumors as GG-1 (54%) or GG-3 (46%). Changes in treatment recommendations occurred mainly in the subset of HG2 tumors reclassified into GG-3, with increased use of chemotherapy in this subset. The use of GGI is feasible in routine clinical practice and impacts treatment decisions in early-stage breast cancer. Total RNA was extracted from fresh tumor tissues comprising M-bM-^IM-%30% invasive tumor cells and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays if the RIN was M-bM-^IM-% 7.
