Gene expression in lung cells expressing MycER/KrasG12D from a transgenic mouse model of non-small cell lung cancer

ABSTRACT: A transgenic mouse model of Kras-driven lung adenocarcinoma, with reversible activation of Myc, was used to explore the effect of Myc activity on lipid metabolism in lung tumours. Gene expression analysis links lipid metabolism, transport and storage to Myc activity. Lung cells from adeno-cre infected R26LSL-CMER and LSL-KrasG12D; R26LSL-CMER mice were isolated 14 days post-treatment with (LSL-KrasG12D; R26LSL-CMER and R26LSL-CMER) or without (R26LSL-CMER only) tamoxifen. GFP positive cells were FACs sorted. To increase RNA yield, cells from two mice of the same genotype and treatment were combined. There were two biological replicates for each condition. Gene expression was compared between lung cells with inactive MycER and lung cells expressing active MycER plus or minus KRasG12D.

Project description:Although mutations in Kras are present in 21% of lung tumors, there is a high level of heterogeneity in phenotype and outcomes amongst lung cancer patients suggesting the importance of other pathways. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a known oncogenic pathway that plays a well defined role in colon and skin cancer but its role in lung cancer remains unclear. We show that activation of Wnt/β-catenin in the bronchiolar epithelium of the adult lung does not promote tumor development by itself. However, activation of Wnt/β- catenin signaling leads to a dramatic increase in tumor formation both in overall tumor number and size compared to KrasG12D alone. We show that activation of Wnt/β- catenin signaling significantly alters the KrasG12D tumor phenotype resulting in a phenotypic switch from bronchiolar epithelium to the highly proliferative distal progenitors found in the embryonic lung. This is associated with a decrease in E- cadherin expression at the cell surface which may increase metastasis in Wnt/β-catenin signaling positive tumors. Together, these data suggest that activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in combination with other oncogenic pathways in lung epithelium may lead to a more aggressive phenotype due to the imposition of an embryonic distal progenitor phenotype accompanied by decreased E-cadherin expression. We performed microarray analysis of control murine lung, CC10-cre:KrasG12D, and CC10-cre:Ctnnb1ex3flox:LSL-KrasG12D double mutant micro-dissected murine lung tumors to determine their transcriptional phenotype. Lungs of five-month-old mice were PBS inflated and all the tumors in each lobe were dissected. The total number of tumors obtained from three out of the 5 pulmonar lobes of each animal was called a sample the other two lobes were saved in case there were problems and the array needed to be repeated. Trizol was used to isolate RNA for microarray analysis. Samples & Genotypes: control murine lung n=2 animals, CC10-cre:KrasG12D n=2 animals, and CC10-cre:Ctnnb1ex3flox:LSL-KrasG12D n=2 animals.
