Regulation of cellular levels of Sprouty2 protein by prolyl hydroxylase domain and von Hippel-Lindau proteins.

ABSTRACT: Sprouty (Spry) proteins modulate the actions of receptor tyrosine kinases during development and tumorigenesis. Decreases in cellular levels of Spry, especially Sprouty2 (Spry2), have been implicated in the growth and progression of tumors of the breast, prostate, lung, and liver. During development and tumor growth, cells experience hypoxia. Therefore, we investigated how hypoxia modulates the levels of Spry proteins. Hypoxia elevated the levels of all four expressed Spry isoforms in HeLa cells. Amounts of endogenous Spry2 in LS147T and HEP3B cells were also elevated by hypoxia. Using Spry2 as a prototype, we demonstrate that silencing and expression of prolyl hydroxylase domain proteins (PHD1-3) increase and decrease, respectively, the cellular content of Spry2. Spry2 also preferentially interacted with PHD1-3 and von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL) during normoxia but not in hypoxia. Additionally, Spry2 is hydroxylated on Pro residues 18, 144, and 160, and substitution of these residues with Ala enhanced stability of Spry2 and abrogated its interactions with pVHL. Silencing of pVHL increased levels of Spry2 by decreasing its ubiquitylation and degradation and thereby augmented the ability of Spry2 to inhibit FGF-elicited activation of ERK1/2. Thus, prolyl hydroxylase mediated hydroxylation and subsequent pVHL-elicited ubiquitylation of Spry2 target it for degradation and, consequently, provide a novel mechanism of regulating growth factor signaling.

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease.

Project description:Von Hippel-Lindau disease is an autosomal dominant syndrome which occurs secondary to germline mutations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene, located on chromosome 3. Clinically von Hippel-Lindau disease is characterized by an increased risk of developing simple visceral cysts, most commonly in the pancreas and kidneys, in addition to an increased risk of developing neoplasms, often with clear cell features, in a multitude of organ systems. The most common neoplasms are cerebellar and retinal hemangioblastomas, adrenal pheochromocytomas, clear cell renal cell carcinomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatic serous cystadenomas, and endolymphatic sac tumors. These lesions most commonly present during adulthood; however, screening and surveillance for the development of these lesions should begin in the pediatric years for patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease. In this review article, the genetics and most common neoplasms of von Hippel-Lindau disease are reviewed, with an eye towards implications for the pediatric patient.

Von hippel-lindau disease.

Project description:A germline mutation in the Von-Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene predisposes carriers to development of abundantly vascularised tumours in the retina, cerebellum, spine, kidney, adrenal gland and pancreas. Most VHL patients die from the consequences of cerebellar haemangioblastoma or renal cell carcinoma. The VHL gene is a tumour suppressor gene and is involved in angiogenesis by regulation of the activity of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1-alpha). Clinical diagnosis of VHL can be confirmed by molecular genetic analysis of the VHL gene, which is informative in virtually all VHL families. A patient with (suspicion for) VHL is an indication for genetic counselling and periodical examination.

Expression of Hemangioblast Proteins in von Hippel-Lindau Disease Related Tumors.

Project description:Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a hereditary tumor syndrome that targets a highly selective subset of organs causing specific types of tumors. The biological basis for this principle of organ selectivity and tumor specificity is not well understood. VHL-associated hemangioblastomas share similar molecular and morphological features with embryonic blood and vascular precursor cells. Therefore, we suggest that VHL hemangioblastomas are derived from developmentally arrested hemangioblastic lineage keeping their potential of further differentiation. Due to these common features, it is of major interest to investigate whether VHL-associated tumors other than hemangioblastoma also share these pathways and molecular features. The expression of hemangioblast proteins has not yet been assessed in other VHL-related tumors. To gain a better understanding of VHL tumorigenesis, the expression of hemangioblastic proteins in different VHL-associated tumors was investigated. The expression of embryonic hemangioblast proteins Brachyury and TAL1 (T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1) was assessed by immunohistochemistry staining on 75 VHL-related tumors of 51 patients: 47 hemangioblastomas, 13 clear cell renal cell carcinomas, 8 pheochromocytomas, 5 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and 2 extra-adrenal paragangliomas. Brachyury and TAL1 expression was, respectively, observed in 26% and 93% of cerebellar hemangioblastomas, 55% and 95% of spinal hemangioblastomas, 23% and 92% of clear cell renal cell carcinomas, 38% and 88% of pheochromocytomas, 60% and 100% of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and 50% and 100% of paragangliomas. We concluded that the expression of hemangioblast proteins in different VHL-associated tumors indicates a common embryological origin of these lesions. This may also explain the specific topographic distribution of VHL-associated tumors.

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease and the Eye.

Project description:Retinal hemangioblastoma (also referred to as retinal capillary hemangioma) is a benign lesion originating from the endothelial and glial components of the neurosensory retina and optic nerve head. Historically known as a manifestation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, it can be seen as an isolated finding or in association with some rare ocular conditions. In addition to characteristic ophthalmoscopic features, results of numerous ancillary tests including angiography, ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and genetic tests may support the diagnosis and differentiate it from similar conditions. Because of serious life-threatening complications of VHL disease, every ocular approach to retinal hemangioblastomas should be in relationship with additional multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. In addition, any patient with actual or probable diagnosis of VHL disease should be screened for ocular involvement. Unfavorable visual loss can occur early, and ocular complications of VHL range from exudative retinopathy to tractional retinal detachment, neovascular glaucoma, and phthisis bulbi. Accordingly, various treatment methods have been tested with overall acceptable responses, including photocoagulation, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, plaque radiotherapy, vitrectomy, and more novel intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors and propranolol.

A Review of Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome.

Project description:Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) is a familial neoplastic condition seen in approximately 1 in 36,000 live births. It is caused by germline mutations of the tumor suppressor gene VHL, located on the short arm of chromosome 3. While the majority of the affected individuals have a positive family history, up to 20% of cases arise from de novo mutations. VHL syndrome is characterized by the presence of benign and malignant tumors affecting the central nervous system, kidneys, adrenals, pancreas, and reproductive organs. Common manifestations include hemangioblastomas of the brain, spinal cord, and retina; pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma; renal cell carcinoma; pancreatic cysts and neuroendocrine tumors; and endolymphatic sac tumors. Diagnosis of VHL is prompted by clinical suspicion and confirmed by molecular testing. Management of VHL patients is complex and multidisciplinary. Routine genetic testing and surveillance using various diagnostic techniques are used to help monitor disease progression and implement treatment options. Despite recent advances in clinical diagnosis and management, life expectancy for VHL patients remains low at 40-52 years. This article provides an overview of the major clinical, histological, and radiological findings, as well as treatment modalities.

Proteomic dissection of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) interactome.

Project description:The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene encodes a component of a ubiquitin ligase complex containing elongin B, elongin C, cullin 2, and Rbx1, which acts as a negative regulator of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF). VHL ubiquitinates and degrades the alpha subunits of HIF, and this is proposed to suppress tumorigenesis and tumor angiogenesis. Several lines of evidence also suggest important roles for HIF-independent VHL functions in the maintenance of primary cilium, extracellular matrix formation, and tumor suppression. We undertook a series of proteomic analyses to gain a comprehensive picture of the VHL-interacting proteins. We found that the ARF tumor suppressor interacts with VHL30, a longer VHL isoform, but not with VHL19, a shorter VHL isoform. ARF was found to release VHL30 from the E3 ligase complex, promoting the binding of VHL30 to a protein arginine methyltransferase, PRMT3. Our analysis of the VHL19 interactome also uncovered that VHL19 displays an affinity to collagens and their biosynthesis enzymes.

von Hippel-Lindau disease: a clinical and scientific review.

Project description:The autosomal dominantly inherited disorder von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is caused by germline mutations in the VHL tumour suppressor gene (TSG). VHL mutations predispose to the development of a variety of tumours (most commonly retinal and central nervous system haemangioblastomas, clear cell renal carcinoma and phaeochromocytomas). Here, we review the clinical and genetic features of VHL disease, briefly review the molecular pathogenesis and outline clinical management and tumour surveillance strategies.

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease: Current Challenges and Future Prospects.

Project description:Understanding of molecular mechanisms of tumor growth has an increasing impact on the development of diagnostics and targeted therapy of human neoplasia. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on molecular mechanisms and their clinical implications in von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. This autosomal dominant tumor syndrome usually manifests in young adulthood and predisposes affected patients to the development of benign and malignant tumors of different organ systems mainly including the nervous system and internal organs. A consequent screening and timely preventive treatment of lesions are crucial for patients affected by VHL disease. Surgical indications and treatment have been evaluated and optimized over many years. In the last decade, pharmacological therapies have been evolving, but are largely still at an experimental stage. Effective pharmacological therapy as well as detection of biomarkers is based on the understanding of the molecular basis of disease. The molecular basis of von Hippel-Lindau disease is the loss of function of the VHL protein and subsequent accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor with downstream effects on cellular metabolism and differentiation. Organs affected by VHL disease may develop frank tumors. More characteristically, however, they reveal multiple separate microscopic foci of neoplastic cell proliferation. The exact mechanisms of tumorigenesis in VHL disease are, however, still not entirely understood and knowledge on biomarkers and targeted therapy is scarce.

Hypoxia-inducible factor underlies von Hippel-Lindau disease stigmata.

Project description:von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare hereditary cancer syndrome that causes a predisposition to renal clear-cell carcinoma, hemangioblastoma, pheochromocytoma, and autosomal-recessive familial polycythemia. pVHL is the substrate conferring subunit of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that binds to the three hypoxia-inducible factor alpha subunits (HIF1-3α) for polyubiquitylation under conditions of normoxia, targeting them for immediate degradation by the proteasome. Certain mutations in pVHL have been determined to be causative of VHL disease through the disruption of HIFα degradation. However, it remains a focus of investigation and debate whether the disruption of HIFα degradation alone is sufficient to explain the complex genotype-phenotype relationship of VHL disease or whether the other lesser or yet characterized substrates and functions of pVHL impact the development of the VHL disease stigmata; the elucidation of which would have a significant ramification to the direction of research efforts and future management and care of VHL patients and for those manifesting sporadic counterparts of VHL disease. Here, we examine the current literature including the other emergent pseudohypoxic diseases and propose that the VHL disease-phenotypic spectrum could be explained solely by the varied disruption of HIFα signaling upon the loss or mutation in pVHL.

Proteostasis Modulation in Germline Missense von Hippel Lindau Disease.

Project description:PurposeMissense mutated von Hippel Lindau (VHL) protein (pVHL) maintains intrinsic function but undergoes proteasomal degradation and tumor initiation and/or progression in VHL disease. Vorinostat can rescue missense mutated pVHL and arrest tumor growth in preclinical models. We asked whether short-term oral vorinostat could rescue pVHL in central nervous system hemangioblastomas in patients with germline missense VHL.Patients and methodsWe administered oral vorinostat to 7 subjects (ages 46.0 ± 14.5 years) and then removed symptomatic hemangioblastomas surgically (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02108002).ResultsVorinostat was tolerated without serious adverse events by all patients. pVHL expression was elevated in neoplastic stromal cells compared with untreated hemangioblastomas from same patients. We found transcriptional suppression of downstream hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) effectors. Mechanistically, vorinostat prevented Hsp90 recruitment to mutated pVHL in vitro. The effects of vorinostat on the Hsp90-pVHL interaction, pVHL rescue, and transcriptional repression of downstream HIF effectors was independent of the location of the missense mutation on the VHL locus. We confirmed a neoplastic stromal cell-specific effect in suppression of protumorigenic pathways with single-nucleus transcriptomic profiling.ConclusionsWe found that oral vorinostat treatment in patients with germline missense VHL mutations has a potent biologic effect that warrants further clinical study. These results provide biologic evidence to support the use of proteostasis modulation for the treatment of syndromic solid tumors involving protein misfolding. Proteostasis modulation with vorinostat rescues missense mutated VHL protein. Further clinical trials are needed to demonstrate tumor growth arrest.
