Receptor for Activated C Kinase 1 (RACK1) Promotes Dishevelled Protein Degradation via Autophagy and Antagonizes Wnt Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Wnt signaling plays a critical role in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer development. Dishevelled (Dvl) is an essential and central component in Wnt signaling, and its stability and activity is tightly regulated. It has been shown that Dvl can be degraded via both the proteasome and autophagy-lysosome pathways. Here we report that receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) negatively regulates Dishevelled stability and Wnt signaling. RACK1 interacts with Dvl proteins and promotes their lysosomal degradation, and this effect is enhanced by autophagy induction. RACK1 also interacts with LC3 and enhances the association of LC3 with Dvl2, thereby leading to degradation of Dvl proteins through autophagy. These findings reveal a novel regulatory function of RACK1 in Wnt signaling by modulating Dvl stability.

Phosphorylation of Dishevelled by protein kinase RIPK4 regulates Wnt signaling.

Project description:Receptor-interacting protein kinase 4 (RIPK4) is required for epidermal differentiation and is mutated in Bartsocas-Papas syndrome. RIPK4 binds to protein kinase C, but its signaling mechanisms are largely unknown. Ectopic RIPK4, but not catalytically inactive or Bartsocas-Papas RIPK4 mutants, induced accumulation of cytosolic ?-catenin and a transcriptional program similar to that caused by Wnt3a. In Xenopus embryos, Ripk4 synergized with coexpressed Xwnt8, whereas Ripk4 morpholinos or catalytic inactive Ripk4 antagonized Wnt signaling. RIPK4 interacted constitutively with the adaptor protein DVL2 and, after Wnt3a stimulation, with the co-receptor LRP6. Phosphorylation of DVL2 by RIPK4 favored canonical Wnt signaling. Wnt-dependent growth of xenografted human tumor cells was suppressed by RIPK4 knockdown, suggesting that RIPK4 overexpression may contribute to the growth of certain tumor types.

SIRT1 regulates Dishevelled proteins and promotes transient and constitutive Wnt signaling.

Project description:Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a class III histone deacetylase that deacetylates histone and nonhistone proteins to regulate gene transcription and protein function. Because SIRT1 regulates very diverse responses such as apoptosis, insulin sensitivity, autophagy, differentiation, and stem cell pluripotency, it has been a challenge to reconcile how it orchestrates such pleiotropic effects. Here we show that SIRT1 serves as an important regulator of Wnt signaling. We demonstrate that SIRT1 loss of function leads to a significant decrease in the levels of all three Dishevelled (Dvl) proteins. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SIRT1 and Dvl proteins complex in vivo and that inhibition of SIRT1 leads to changes in gene expression of Wnt target genes. Finally, we demonstrate that Wnt-stimulated cell migration is inhibited by a SIRT1 inhibitor. Because the three mammalian Dvl proteins serve as key messengers for as many as 19 Wnt ligands, SIRT1-mediated regulation of Dvl proteins may explain the diverse physiological responses observed in different cellular contexts. Previously, SIRT1 had only been shown to mediate the epigenetic silencing of Wnt antagonists. In contrast, here we report that SIRT1 regulates Dvl protein levels and Wnt signaling in several cellular contexts. These findings demonstrate that SIRT1 is a regulator of transient and constitutive Wnt signaling.

Wnt signalling antagonizes stress granule assembly through a Dishevelled-dependent mechanism.

Project description:Cells often respond to diverse environmental stresses by inducing stress granules (SGs) as an adaptive mechanism. SGs are generally assembled as a result of aggregation of mRNAs stalled in a translational pre-initiation complex, mediated by a set of RNA-binding proteins such as G3BP and TIA-1. SGs may serve as triage centres for storage, translation re-initiation or degradation of specific mRNAs. However, the mechanism involved in the modulation of their assembly/disassembly is unclear. Here we report that Wnt signalling negatively regulates SG assembly through Dishevelled (Dvl), a cytoplasmic Wnt effector. Overexpression of Dvl2, an isoform of Dvl, leads to impairment of SG assembly through a DEP domain dependent mechanism. Intriguingly, the Dvl2 mutant K446M, which corresponds to an analogous mutation in Drosophila Dishevelled DEP domain (dsh(1)) that results in defective PCP pathway, fails to antagonize SG assembly. Furthermore, we show that Dvl2 exerts the antagonistic effect on SG assembly through a mechanism involving Rac1-mediated inhibition of RhoA. Dvl2 interacts with G3BP, a downstream component of Ras signalling involved in SG assembly, and functional analysis suggests a model wherein the Dvl-Rac1-RhoA axis regulates G3BP's SG-nucleating activity. Collectively, these results define an antagonistic effect of Wnt signalling on SG assembly, and reveal a novel role for Wnt/Dvl pathway in the modulation of mRNA functions.

Fas-associated factor 1 antagonizes Wnt signaling by promoting ?-catenin degradation.

Project description:The canonical Wnt pathway plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. Activation of this signaling pathway causes disruption of the Axin/adenomatous polyposis coli/glycogen synthase kinase 3? complex, resulting in stabilization of ?-catenin and its association with lymphoid enhancer factor/T-cell factor in the nucleus. Here, we identify Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1) as a negative regulator of Wnt/?-catenin signaling. We found overexpression of FAF1 to strongly inhibit Wnt-induced transcriptional reporter activity and to counteract Wnt-induced ?-catenin accumulation. Moreover, knockdown of FAF1 resulted in an increase in ?-catenin levels and in activation of Wnt/?-catenin-induced transcription. FAF1 was found to interact with ?-catenin upon inhibition of proteasome. Ectopic expression of FAF1 promoted ?-catenin degradation by enhancing its polyubiquitination. Functional studies in C2C12 myoblasts and KS483 preosteoblastic cells showed that FAF1 depletion resulted in activation of endogenous Wnt-induced genes and enhanced osteoblast differentiation, whereas FAF1 overexpression had the opposite effect. These results identify FAF1 as a novel inhibitory factor of canonical Wnt signaling pathway.

Activated protein C promotes protease-activated receptor-1 cytoprotective signaling through ?-arrestin and dishevelled-2 scaffolds.

Project description:Protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) is a guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein-coupled receptor that elicits cellular responses to coagulant and anticoagulant proteases. Activation of PAR1 by the coagulant protease thrombin results in Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA) activation, disassembly of adherens junctions, and disruption of the endothelial barrier. In contrast, activation of PAR1 with the anticoagulant protease activated protein C (APC) results in activation of Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) and endothelial barrier protection. We previously showed that APC cytoprotective signaling requires the compartmentalization of PAR1 in caveolar microdomains. However, the mechanism by which APC-activated PAR1 promotes cytoprotective signaling in human endothelial cells remains poorly understood. Here we show that APC-activated PAR1 cytoprotective signaling is mediated by ?-arrestin recruitment and activation of the dishevelled-2 (Dvl-2) scaffold and not by G protein ? inhibiting activity polypeptide 2 (G?(i)) signaling. In human endothelial cells, PAR1 and ?-arrestins form a preassembled complex and cosegregate in caveolin-1-enriched fractions. Remarkably, we found that depletion of ?-arrestin expression by RNA interference resulted in the loss of APC-induced Rac1 activation but not of thrombin-stimulated RhoA signaling. APC also failed to protect against thrombin-induced endothelial barrier permeability in cells deficient in ?-arrestin expression. We further demonstrate that APC activation of PAR1 results in ?-arrestin-dependent recruitment of Dvl-2, which is critical for Rac1 signaling and endothelial barrier protection but not for thrombin-induced RhoA signaling. Our findings identify a role for ?-arrestin and Dvl-2 scaffolds in APC-activated PAR1 cytoprotective signaling in human endothelial cells.

Islr regulates canonical Wnt signaling-mediated skeletal muscle regeneration by stabilizing Dishevelled-2 and preventing autophagy.

Project description:Satellite cells are crucial for skeletal muscle regeneration, but the molecular mechanisms regulating satellite cells are not entirely understood. Here, we show that the immunoglobulin superfamily containing leucine-rich repeat (Islr), a newly identified marker for mesenchymal stem cells, stabilizes canonical Wnt signaling and promote skeletal muscle regeneration. Loss of Islr delays skeletal muscle regeneration in adult mice. In the absence of Islr, myoblasts fail to develop into mature myotubes due to defective differentiation. Islr interacts with Dishevelled-2 (Dvl2) to activate canonical Wnt signaling, consequently regulating the myogenic factor myogenin (MyoG). Furthermore, Islr stabilizes Dvl2 by reducing the level of LC3-labeled Dvl2 and preventing cells from undergoing autophagy. Together, our findings identify Islr as an important regulator for skeletal muscle regeneration.

ASPM promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling through antagonizing autophagy-mediated Dvl2 degradation.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most fatal cancers worldwide. In this article, we show that expression of abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated protein (ASPM) is up-regulated in liver cancer samples, and this up-regulation is significantly associated with tumor aggressiveness and reduced survival times of patients. Down-regulation of ASPM expression inhibits the proliferation, invasion, migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of HCC cells in vitro and inhibits tumor formation in nude mice. ASPM interacts with disheveled-2 (Dvl2) and antagonizes autophagy-mediated Dvl2 degradation by weakening the functional interaction between Dvl2 and the lipidated form of microtubule-associated proteins 1A/1B light chain 3A (LC3II), thereby increasing Dvl2 protein abundance and leading to Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation in HCC cells. Thus, our results define ASPM as a novel oncoprotein in HCC and indicate that disruption of the Wnt-ASPM-Dvl2-β-catenin signaling axis might have potential clinical value.

Pyruvate kinase M knockdown-induced signaling via AMP-activated protein kinase promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, autophagy, and cancer cell survival.

Project description:Preferential expression of the low-activity (dimeric) M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase (PK) over its constitutively active splice variant M1 isoform is considered critical for aerobic glycolysis in cancer cells. However, our results reported here indicate co-expression of PKM1 and PKM2 and their possible physical interaction in cancer cells. We show that knockdown of either PKM1 or PKM2 differentially affects net PK activity, viability, and cellular ATP levels of the lung carcinoma cell lines H1299 and A549. The stable knockdown of PK isoforms in A549 cells significantly reduced the cellular ATP level, whereas in H1299 cells the level of ATP was unaltered. Interestingly, the PKM1/2 knockdown in H1299 cells activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling and stimulated mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy to maintain energy homeostasis. In contrast, knocking down either of the PKM isoforms in A549 cells lacking LKB1, a serine/threonine protein kinase upstream of AMPK, failed to activate AMPK and sustain energy homeostasis and resulted in apoptosis. Moreover, in a similar genetic background of silenced PKM1 or PKM2, the knocking down of AMPK?1/2 catalytic subunit in H1299 cells induced apoptosis. Our findings help explain why previous targeting of PKM2 in cancer cells to control tumor growth has not met with the expected success. We suggest that this lack of success is because of AMPK-mediated energy metabolism rewiring, protecting cancer cell viability. On the basis of our observations, we propose an alternative therapeutic strategy of silencing either of the PKM isoforms along with AMPK in tumors.

Deubiquitination of Dishevelled by Usp14 is required for Wnt signaling.

Project description:Dishevelled (Dvl) is a key regulator of Wnt signaling both in the canonical and non-canonical pathways. Here we report the identification of a regulatory domain of ubiquitination (RDU) in the C-terminus of Dvl. Mutations in the RDU resulted in accumulation of polyubiquitinated forms of Dvl, which were mainly K63 linked. Small interfering RNA-based screening identified Usp14 as a mediator of Dvl deubiquitination. Genetic and chemical suppression of Usp14 activity caused an increase in Dvl polyubiquitination and significantly impaired downstream Wnt signaling. These data suggest that Usp14 functions as a positive regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Consistently, tissue microarray analysis of colon cancer revealed a strong correlation between the levels of Usp14 and ?-catenin, which suggests an oncogenic role for Usp14 via enhancement of Wnt/?-catenin signaling.

RACK1 promotes lung cancer cell growth via an MCM7/RACK1/ Akt signaling complex.

Project description:MCM7, a member of the miniature chromosome maintenance (MCM) protein family, is crucial for the initiation of DNA replication and proliferation in eukaryotic cells. In this report, we demonstrate that RACK1 regulates cell growth and cell cycle progression in human non-small-cell lung cancer by mediating MCM7 phosphorylation through an MCM7/RACK1/Akt signaling complex. RACK1 functions as a central scaffold that brings Akt into physical proximity with MCM7. Overexpression of RACK1 increases interactions between Akt and MCM7 and promotes Akt-dependent MCM7 phosphorylation, which in turn increases MCM7 binding to chromatin and MCM complex formation. Together, these changes promote DNA replication and cell proliferation. Our findings reveal a novel signaling pathway that regulates growth in non-small cell lung cancer.
