Phosphorylation and inactivation of PTEN at residues Ser380/Thr382/383 induced by Helicobacter pylori promotes gastric epithelial cell survival through PI3K/Akt pathway.

ABSTRACT: Phosphorylation of PTEN at residues Ser380/Thr382/383 leads to loss of phosphatase activity and tumor suppressor function. Here, we found that phosphorylation of PTEN at residues Ser380/Thr382/383 was increased with gastric carcinogenesis, and more importantly, Helicobacter pylori was a trigger of this modification in chronic non-atrophic gastritis. H. pylori could phosphorylate and inactivate PTEN in vivo and in vitro, resulting in survival of gastric epithelial cells. Furthermore, stable expression of dominant-negative mutant PTEN or inhibition of Akt prevented the enhanced survival induced by H. pylori. These results indicate that PTEN phosphorylation at residues Ser380/Thr382/383 is a novel mechanism of PTEN inactivation in gastric carcinogenesis, and H. pylori triggers this modification, resulting in activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway and promotion of cell survival.

Project description:Background: Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection may initiate and promote progression of gastric carcinogenesis. ONECUT2 shows promise for tumor diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. This study explored ONECUT2's role and specific mechanism underlying HP infection-associated gastric carcinogenesis to suggest a basis for targeting ONECUT2 as a therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer (GC). Methods: Public data, single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptome analysis, RNA sequencing, GC tissue specimens, and clinical survival data were analyzed. Human GC organoids, HP infection, 3D sphere-forming, and extreme-dilution nude mouse models were constructed. Western blotting, qPCR, immunohistochemical staining, dual-luciferase reporter assays, phosphokinase microarray, and immunofluorescence were used. Results: Multidimensional data supported an association between ONECUT2, HP infection, and GC pathogenesis. HP infection upregulated ONECUT2 transcriptional activity via NFκB. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that ONECUT2 increases stemness in GC cells. ONECUT2 was also shown to inhibit PPP2R4 transcription, resulting in reduced PP2A activity, which in turn increased AKT/β-catenin phosphorylation. AKT/β-catenin phosphorylation facilitates β-catenin translocation to the nucleus, initiating transcription of downstream stemness-associated genes in GC cell. HP infection could upregulate the phosphorylation of AKT and β-catenin triggered by ONECUT2 downregulation via induction of ONECUT2. Clinical survival analysis indicated that high ONECUT2 expression might be an indicator of poor prognosis in GC. Conclusion: This study highlights a critical role played by ONECUT2 in promoting HP infection-associated GC by enhancing cell stemness through the PPP2R4/AKT/β-catenin signaling pathway. These findings suggest promising therapeutic strategies and potential therapeutic targets for GC treatment. Keywords: Helicobacter pylori; gastric cancer; prognosis; tumor stemness; ONECUT2
