Sulfiredoxin-Peroxiredoxin IV axis promotes human lung cancer progression through modulation of specific phosphokinase signaling.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress is known to cause tumorigenesis through induction of DNA and lipid damage. It also promotes cancer progression through a largely unknown mechanism. Sulfiredoxin (Srx) is a novel oxidative stress-induced antioxidant protein whose function in tumorigenesis and cancer progression has not been well studied. We report that Srx is highly expressed in human lung cancer. Knockdown of Srx reduces anchorage-independent colony formation, cell migration, and invasion of human lung cancer cells. Srx preferentially interacts with Peroxiredoxin (Prx) IV relative to other Prxs due to its intrinsic higher binding affinity. Knockdown of Prx IV recapitulates the phenotypic changes of depleting Srx. Disruption or enhancement of the Srx-Prx IV axis leads respectively to reduction or acceleration of tumor growth and metastasis formation in vivo. Through identification and validation of the downstream mediators we unraveled the Srx-mediated signaling network that traverses AP-1-activating and other phosphokinase signaling cascades. Our work reveals that the Srx-Prx IV axis is critical for lung cancer maintenance and metastasis, suggesting that targeting the Srx-Prx IV axis may provide unique effective strategies for cancer prevention and treatment.

Specificity of Human Sulfiredoxin for Reductant and Peroxiredoxin Oligomeric State.

Project description:Human peroxiredoxins (Prx) are a family of antioxidant enzymes involved in a myriad of cellular functions and diseases. During the reaction with peroxides (e.g., H2O2), the typical 2-Cys Prxs change oligomeric structure between higher order (do)decamers and disulfide-linked dimers, with the hyperoxidized inactive state (-SO2H) favoring the multimeric structure of the reduced enzyme. Here, we present a study on the structural requirements for the repair of hyperoxidized 2-Cys Prxs by human sulfiredoxin (Srx) and the relative efficacy of physiological reductants hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and glutathione (GSH) in this reaction. The crystal structure of the toroidal Prx1-Srx complex shows an extended active site interface. The loss of this interface within engineered Prx2 and Prx3 dimers yielded variants more resistant to hyperoxidation and repair by Srx. Finally, we reveal for the first time Prx isoform-dependent use of and potential cooperation between GSH and H2S in supporting Srx activity.

A Stromal Lysolipid-Autotaxin Signaling Axis Promotes Pancreatic Tumor Progression.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) develops a pronounced stromal response reflecting an aberrant wound-healing process. This stromal reaction features transdifferentiation of tissue-resident pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) into activated cancer-associated fibroblasts, a process induced by PDAC cells but of unclear significance for PDAC progression. Here, we show that PSCs undergo a dramatic lipid metabolic shift during differentiation in the context of pancreatic tumorigenesis, including remodeling of the intracellular lipidome and secretion of abundant lipids in the activated, fibroblastic state. Specifically, stroma-derived lysophosphatidylcholines support PDAC cell synthesis of phosphatidylcholines, key components of cell membranes, and also facilitate production of the potent wound-healing mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) by the extracellular enzyme autotaxin, which is overexpressed in PDAC. The autotaxin-LPA axis promotes PDAC cell proliferation, migration, and AKT activation, and genetic or pharmacologic autotaxin inhibition suppresses PDAC growth in vivo. Our work demonstrates how PDAC cells exploit the local production of wound-healing mediators to stimulate their own growth and migration. SIGNIFICANCE: Our work highlights an unanticipated role for PSCs in producing the oncogenic LPA signaling lipid and demonstrates how PDAC tumor cells co-opt the release of wound-healing mediators by neighboring PSCs to promote their own proliferation and migration.See related commentary by Biffi and Tuveson, p. 578.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 565.

Characterization of plant sulfiredoxin and role of sulphinic form of 2-Cys peroxiredoxin.

Project description:The antioxidant function of 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx) involves the oxidation of its conserved peroxidatic cysteine to sulphenic acid that is recycled by a reductor agent. In conditions of oxidative stress, the peroxidatic cysteine can be overoxidized to sulphinic acid inactivating the Prx. An enzyme recently discovered, named sulfiredoxin (Srx), reduces the sulphinic 2-Cys Prx (Prx-SO(2)H). To explore the physiological functions of Srx in plants we have cloned, expressed and purified to homogeneity a Srx from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtSrx), as well as five variants by site-directed mutagenesis on amino acids involved in its activity. The activity of sulfiredoxin, determined by a new method, is dependent on the concentration of the sulphinic form of Prx and the conserved Srx is capable of regenerating the functionality of both pea and Arabidopsis Prx-SO(2)H. Molecular modelling of AtSrx and the facts that the R28Q variant shows a partial inactivation, that the activity of the E76A variant is equivalent to that of the native enzyme and that the double mutation R28Q/E76A abolishes the enzymatic activity suggests that the pair His100-Glu76 may be involved in the activation of C72 in the absence of R28. The knock-out mutant plants without Srx or 2-Cys Prx exhibited phenotypical differences under growth conditions of 16 h light, probably due to the signalling role of the sulphinic form of Prx. These mutants showed more susceptibility to oxidative stress than wild-type plants. This work presents the first systematic biochemical characterization of the Srx/Prx system from plants and contributes to a better understanding of its physiological function.

Peroxiredoxin III and sulfiredoxin together protect mice from pyrazole-induced oxidative liver injury.

Project description:AimsTo define the mechanisms underlying pyrazole-induced oxidative stress and the protective role of peroxiredoxins (Prxs) and sulfiredoxin (Srx) against such stress.ResultsPyrazole increased Srx expression in the liver of mice in a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent manner and induced Srx translocation from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria. Pyrazole also induced the expression of CYP2E1, a primary reactive oxygen species (ROS) source for ethanol-induced liver injury, in ER and mitochondria. However, increased CYP2E1 levels only partially accounted for the pyrazole-mediated induction of Srx, prompting the investigation of CYP2E1-independent ROS generation downstream of pyrazole. Indeed, pyrazole increased ER stress, which is known to elevate mitochondrial ROS. In addition, pyrazole up-regulated CYP2E1 to a greater extent in mitochondria than in ER. Accordingly, among Prxs I to IV, PrxIII, which is localized to mitochondria, was preferentially hyperoxidized in the liver of pyrazole-treated mice. Pyrazole-induced oxidative damage to the liver was greater in PrxIII(-/-) mice than in wild-type mice. Such damage was also increased in Srx(-/-) mice treated with pyrazole, underscoring the role of Srx as the guardian of PrxIII.InnovationThe roles of Prxs, Srx, and ER stress have not been previously studied in relation to pyrazole toxicity.ConclusionThe concerted action of PrxIII and Srx is important for protection against pyrazole-induced oxidative stress arising from the convergent induction of CYP2E1-derived and ER stress-derived ROS in mitochondria.

A proangiogenic signaling axis in myeloid cells promotes malignant progression of glioma.

Project description:Tumors are capable of coopting hematopoietic cells to create a suitable microenvironment to support malignant growth. Here, we have demonstrated that upregulation of kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), also known as VEGFR2, in a myeloid cell sublineage is necessary for malignant progression of gliomas in transgenic murine models and is associated with high-grade tumors in patients. KDR expression increased in myeloid cells as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) accumulated, which was associated with the transformation and progression of low-grade fibrillary astrocytoma to high-grade anaplastic gliomas. KDR deficiency in murine BM-derived cells (BMDCs) suppressed the differentiation of myeloid lineages and reduced granulocytic/monocytic populations. The depletion of myeloid-derived KDR compromised its proangiogenic function, which inhibited the angiogenic switch necessary for malignant progression of low-grade to high-grade tumors. We also identified inhibitor of DNA binding protein 2 (ID2) as a key upstream regulator of KDR activation during myeloid differentiation. Deficiency of ID2 in BMDCs led to downregulation of KDR, suppression of proangiogenic myeloid cells, and prevention of low-grade to high-grade transition. Tumor-secreted TGF-? and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) enhanced the KDR/ID2 signaling axis in BMDCs. Our results suggest that modulation of KDR/ID2 signaling may restrict tumor-associated myeloid cells and could potentially be a therapeutic strategy for preventing transformation of premalignant gliomas.

AGAP2-AS1/BRD7/c-Myc signaling axis promotes skin cutaneous melanoma progression.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine the effects and mechanisms of AGAP2 Antisense RNA 1 (AGAP2-AS1) in progression of skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM).MethodsAGAP2-AS1 expression and SKCM survival outcomes were assessed using bioinformatics analysis. In vitro and in vivo assays, including cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, and tumor formation assays, were performed to detect AGAP2-AS1 oncogenic effects in SKCM. RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and co-immunoprecipitation were used to evaluate the mechanism of AGAP2-AS1 in SKCM progression.ResultsAGAP2-AS1 was upregulated in human SKCM tissues and cells and predicted a worse prognosis. AGAP2-AS1 silencing in two SKCM cell lines inhibited cell proliferation, as well as colony formation and migration both in vitro and in vivo. The RNA pull-down assay and RIP analysis results indicated that AGAP2-AS1 interacted with bromodomain containing 7 (BRD7). AGAP2-AS1 knockdown attenuated the BRD7 and c-Myc interaction, which reduced c-Myc expression. The altered phenotypes found in AGAP2-AS1- and BRD7-deficient cells were rescued by overexpression of c-Myc.ConclusionsAGAP2-AS1 participated in oncogenesis in SKCM via the BRD7/c-Myc signaling pathway. These results suggest a molecular mechanism for AGAP2-AS1 in the carcinogenesis of SKCM.

The miR-96 and RARG signaling axis governs androgen signaling and prostate cancer progression IV

Project description:Expression levels of retinoic acid receptor gamma (NR1B3/RARG, encodes RARG), are commonly reduced in prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore we sought to establish the cellular and gene regulatory consequences of reduced RARG expression, and determine RARG regulatory mechanisms. RARG shRNA approaches in non-malignant (RWPE-1 and HPr1-AR) and malignant (LNCaP) prostate models revealed that reducing RARG levels, rather than adding exogenous retinoid ligand, had the greatest impact on prostate cell viability and gene expression. ChIP-Seq defined the RARG cistrome which was significantly enriched at active enhancers associated with AR binding sites. Reflecting a significant genomic role for RARG to regulate androgen signaling, RARG knockdown in HPr1-AR cells significantly regulated the magnitude of the AR transcriptome. RARG down-regulation was explained by increased miR-96 in PCa cell and mouse models, and TCGA PCa cohorts. Biochemical approaches confirmed that miR-96 directly regulated RARG expression and function. Capture of the miR-96 targetome by biotin-miR96 identified that RARG and a number of RARG interacting co-factors including TACC1 were all targeted by miR-96, and expression of these genes were prominently altered, positively and negatively, in the TCGA-PRAD cohort. Differential gene expression analyses between tumors in the TCGA-PRAD cohort with lower quartile expression levels of RARG and TACC1 and upper quartile miR-96, compared to the reverse, identified a gene network including several RARG target genes (e.g. SOX15) that significantly associated with worse disease free survival (hazard ratio 2.23, 95% CI 1.58 to 2.88, p=0.015). In summary, miR-96 targets a RARG network to govern AR signaling, PCa progression and disease outcome. RWPE1 non-malignant, immortalized cell line +/- shRARG, +/- 10nM CD437 for 24 hours

USF1-CHCHD4 axis promotes lung adenocarcinoma progression partially via activating the MYC pathway.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to identify genes related to lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 4 (CHCHD4) in the progression of LUAD.MethodsThe GEPIA database was used to evaluate the differential expression of CHCHD4 and the survival data of LUAD patients compared to controls. TCGA-LUAD database, JASPAR website, and GSEA were used to analyse the relationship between CHCHD4 and the upstream stimulating factor 1 (USF1) or MYC pathways. The proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of LUAD cells were evaluated using cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, colony formation, flow cytometry, wound healing, and transwell assays. qRT-PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression, respectively. Furthermore, xenograft tumours from nude mice were used to verify the effect of CHCHD4 on LUAD in vivo.ResultsCHCHD4 overexpression was found in LUAD tumor tissues and cells, and high CHCHD4 was associated with a poor prognosis. Interestingly, CHCHD4 knockdown suppressed the malignant phenotype of the LUAD cells. Moreover, we found that USF1 upregulated CHCHD4 and promoted LUAD progression. CHCHD4 knockdown also inhibited the progression of LUAD. In addition, CHCHD4 knockdown suppressed xenograft tumour growth.ConclusionUSF1-CHCHD4 axis can promote LUAD progress, which may be through activating MYC pathway.

The CRTC1-NEDD9 signaling axis mediates lung cancer progression caused by LKB1 loss.

Project description:Somatic mutation of the tumor suppressor gene LKB1 occurs frequently in lung cancer where it causes tumor progression and metastasis, but the underlying mechanisms remain mainly unknown. Here, we show that the oncogene NEDD9 is an important downstream mediator of lung cancer progression evoked by LKB1 loss. In de novo mouse models, RNAi-mediated silencing of Nedd9 inhibited lung tumor progression, whereas ectopic NEDD9 expression accelerated this process. Mechanistically, LKB1 negatively regulated NEDD9 transcription by promoting cytosolic translocation of CRTC1 from the nucleus. Notably, ectopic expression of either NEDD9 or CRTC1 partially reversed the inhibitory function of LKB1 on metastasis of lung cancer cells. In clinical specimens, elevated expression of NEDD9 was associated with malignant progression and metastasis. Collectively, our results decipher the mechanism through which LKB1 deficiency promotes lung cancer progression and metastasis, and provide a mechanistic rationale for therapeutic attack of these processes.
