Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis reveals system-wide signaling pathways downstream of SDF-1/CXCR4 in breast cancer stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women worldwide, with an estimated 1.7 million new cases and 522,000 deaths around the world in 2012 alone. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are essential for tumor reoccurrence and metastasis which is the major source of cancer lethality. G protein-coupled receptor chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) is critical for tumor metastasis. However, stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/CXCR4-mediated signaling pathways in breast CSCs are largely unknown. Using isotope reductive dimethylation and large-scale MS-based quantitative phosphoproteome analysis, we examined protein phosphorylation induced by SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling in breast CSCs. We quantified more than 11,000 phosphorylation sites in 2,500 phosphoproteins. Of these phosphosites, 87% were statistically unchanged in abundance in response to SDF-1/CXCR4 stimulation. In contrast, 545 phosphosites in 266 phosphoproteins were significantly increased, whereas 113 phosphosites in 74 phosphoproteins were significantly decreased. SDF-1/CXCR4 increases phosphorylation in 60 cell migration- and invasion-related proteins, of them 43 (>70%) phosphoproteins are unrecognized. In addition, SDF-1/CXCR4 upregulates the phosphorylation of 44 previously uncharacterized kinases, 8 phosphatases, and 1 endogenous phosphatase inhibitor. Using computational approaches, we performed system-based analyses examining SDF-1/CXCR4-mediated phosphoproteome, including construction of kinase-substrate network and feedback regulation loops downstream of SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling in breast CSCs. We identified a previously unidentified SDF-1/CXCR4-PKA-MAP2K2-ERK signaling pathway and demonstrated the feedback regulation on MEK, ERK1/2, ?-catenin, and PPP1C? in SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling in breast CSCs. This study gives a system-wide view of phosphorylation events downstream of SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling in breast CSCs, providing a resource for the study of CSC-targeted cancer therapy.

Project description:Quantitative mass spectrometry was used to identify hormone-dependent signaling pathways in renal medullary thick ascending limb (mTAL) cells via phosphoproteomic analysis. Active transport of NaCl across the mTAL epithelium is accelerated by hormones that increase cAMP levels (vasopressin, glucagon, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin). mTAL suspensions from rat kidneys were exposed (15 min) to a mixture of these four hormones. Tryptic phosphopeptides (immobilized metal affinity chromatography-enriched) were identified and quantified by mass spectrometry (LTQ-Orbitrap) using label-free methodology. We quantified a total of 654 phosphopeptides, of which 414 were quantified in three experimental pairs (hormone vs. vehicle). Of these phosphopeptides, 82% were statistically unchanged in abundance in response to the hormone mixture. In contrast, 48 phosphopeptides were significantly increased, whereas 28 were significantly decreased. The population of up-regulated phosphopeptides was highly enriched in basophilic kinase substrate motifs (AGC or calmodulin-sensitive kinase families), whereas the down-regulated sites were dominated by "proline-directed" motifs (cyclin-dependent or MAP kinase families). Bioinformatic classification uncovered overrepresentation of transmembrane transporters, protein phosphatase regulators, and cytoskeletal binding proteins among the regulated proteins. Immunoblotting with phospho-specific antibodies confirmed cAMP/vasopressin-dependent phosphorylation at Thr96, Ser126, and Ser874 of the Na(+):K(+):2Cl(-) cotransporter NKCC2, at Ser552 of the Na(+):H(+) exchanger NHE3, and at Ser552 of beta-catenin. Vasopressin also increased phosphorylation of NKCC2 at both Ser126 (more than fivefold) and Ser874 (more than threefold) in rats in vivo. Both sites were phosphorylated by purified protein kinase A during in vitro assays. These results support the view that, although protein kinase A plays a central role in mTAL signaling, additional kinases, including those that target proline-directed motifs, may be involved.
