Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Bone Metastases.

ABSTRACT: Metastases-the spreading of cancer cells from primary tumors to distant organs, including bone-is often incurable and is the major cause of morbidity in cancer patients. Understanding how cancer cells acquire the ability to colonize to bone and become overt metastases is critical to identify new therapeutic targets and develop new therapies against bone metastases. Recent reports indicate that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and, as its consequence, the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated during metastatic dissemination. However, their roles in this process remain largely unknown. In this review, we discuss the recent progress on evaluating the tumorigenic, immunoregulatory and metastatic effects of ER stress and the UPR on bone metastases. We explore new opportunities to translate this knowledge into potential therapeutic strategies for patients with bone metastases.

Unresolved endoplasmic reticulum stress engenders immune-resistant, latent pancreatic cancer metastases.

Project description:The majority of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) develop metastatic disease after resection of their primary tumor. We found that livers from patients and mice with PDA harbor single disseminated cancer cells (DCCs) lacking expression of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) and major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI). We created a mouse model to determine how these DCCs develop. Intraportal injection of immunogenic PDA cells into preimmunized mice seeded livers only with single, nonreplicating DCCs that were CK19- and MHCI- The DCCs exhibited an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response but paradoxically lacked both inositol-requiring enzyme 1α activation and expression of the spliced form of transcription factor XBP1 (XBP1s). Inducible expression of XBP1s in DCCs, in combination with T cell depletion, stimulated the outgrowth of macrometastatic lesions that expressed CK19 and MHCI. Thus, unresolved ER stress enables DCCs to escape immunity and establish latent metastases.

Defective autophagy in osteoblasts induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and causes remarkable bone loss.

Project description:Macroautophagy/autophagy is a highly regulated process involved in the turnover of cytosolic components, however its pivotal role in maintenance of bone homeostasis remains elusive. In the present study, we investigated the direct role of ATG7 (autophagy related 7) during developmental and remodeling stages in vivo using osteoblast-specific Atg7 conditional knockout (cKO) mice. Atg7 cKO mice exhibited a reduced bone mass at both developmental and adult age. The trabecular bone volume of Atg7 cKO mice was significantly lower than that of controls at 5 months of age. This phenotype was attributed to decreased osteoblast formation and matrix mineralization, accompanied with an increased osteoclast number and the extent of the bone surface covered by osteoclasts as well as an elevated secretion of TNFSF11/RANKL (tumor necrosis factor [ligand] superfamily, member 11), and a decrease in TNFRSF11B/OPG (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 11b [osteoprotegerin]). Remarkably, Atg7 deficiency in osteoblasts triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, whereas attenuation of ER stress by administration of phenylbutyric acid in vivo abrogated Atg7 ablation-mediated effects on osteoblast differentiation, mineralization capacity and bone formation. Consistently, Atg7 deficiency impeded osteoblast mineralization and promoted apoptosis partially in DDIT3/CHOP (DNA-damage-inducible transcript 3)- and MAPK8/JNK1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8)-SMAD1/5/8-dependent manner in vitro, while reconstitution of Atg7 could improve ER stress and restore skeletal balance. In conclusion, our findings provide direct evidences that autophagy plays crucial roles in regulation of bone homeostasis and suggest an innovative therapeutic strategy against skeletal diseases.

Are mTOR and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway Genes Associated with Oral and Bone Diseases?

Project description:The purpose of this cohort study was to identify associations between combined oral and bone disease phenotypes and genes present in cell regulatory pathways. The studied pathways play important roles in cellular growth, proliferation, differentiation, and homeostasis. DNA samples extracted from whole saliva of 3,912 individuals were genotyped and these data analyzed according to dental caries experience, periapical lesions, periodontitis, osteoporosis, or temporomandibular joint discomfort. Samples were obtained from the Dental Registry and DNA Repository project at the University of Pittsburgh. Twenty-seven polymorphisms in eight genes related to mTOR or endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways were selected for genotyping. Allele frequencies and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were calculated. Analyses were performed comparing genotypes between affected and unaffected individuals for each phenotype, as well as for the associated phenotypes combined. For all analyses, we used the software PLINK with an alpha of 0.002. Borderline associations with multiple variants of several genes were found, suggesting that both pathways may be involved in the susceptibility to multiple conditions affecting the oral cavity and bones. When combining patients that had concomitant dental caries, periodontitis, and periapical pathology, several markers in RHEB showed statistically significant association. Multiple conditions affecting bone and teeth (i.e., dental caries, periodontitis, periapical lesion formation, and osteoporosis) appear to share similar underlying genetic etiological factors, which allow us to hypothesize that instead of individually, they should be studied in conjunction in human populations.

Targeting HPV-16 antigens to the endoplasmic reticulum induces an endoplasmic reticulum stress response.

Project description:Very promising results have been observed with a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine based on human papillomavirus type-16 (HPV-16) antigen retention and delivery system in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). However, the mechanism by which these antigens are processed once they reach this organelle is still unknown. Therefore, we evaluated whether this system awakens a stress response in the ER. Different DNA constructs based on E6 and E7 mutant antigens fused to an ER signal peptide (SP), a signal for retention in the ER (KDEL), or both signals (SPK), were transfected into HEK-293 cells. Overexpression of E6 and E7 antigens targeted to the ER (SP, and SPK constructs) induced ER stress, which was indicated by an increase of the ER-stress markers GRP78/BiP and CHOP. Additionally, the ER stress response was mediated by the ATF4 transcription factor, which was translocated into the nucleus. Besides, the overexpressed antigens were degraded by the proteasome. Through a cycloheximide-chase assay, we demonstrated that when both protein synthesis and proteasome were inhibited, the overexpressed antigens were degraded. Interestingly, when proteasome was blocked autophagy was increased and the ER stress response decreased. Taken together, these results indicate that the antigens are initially degraded by the ERAD pathway, and autophagy degradation pathway can be induced to compensate the proteasome inhibition. Therefore, we provided a new insight into the mechanism by which E6 and E7 mutant antigens are processed once they reach the ER, which will help to improve the development of more effective vaccines against cancer.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress activates telomerase.

Project description:Telomerase contributes to cell proliferation and survival through both telomere-dependent and telomere-independent mechanisms. In this report, we discovered that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress transiently activates the catalytic components of telomerase (TERT) expression in human cancer cell lines and murine primary neural cells. Importantly, we show that depletion of hTERT sensitizes cells to undergo apoptosis under ER stress, whereas increased hTERT expression reduces ER stress-induced cell death independent of catalytically active enzyme or DNA damage signaling. Our findings establish a functional link between ER stress and telomerase, both of which have important implications in the pathologies associated with aging and cancer.

CDIP1-BAP31 complex transduces apoptotic signals from endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria under endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Project description:Resolved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response is essential for intracellular homeostatic balance, but unsettled ER stress can lead to apoptosis. Here, we show that a proapoptotic p53 target, CDIP1, acts as a key signal transducer of ER-stress-mediated apoptosis. We identify B-cell-receptor-associated protein 31 (BAP31) as an interacting partner of CDIP1. Upon ER stress, CDIP1 is induced and enhances an association with BAP31 at the ER membrane. We also show that CDIP1 binding to BAP31 is required for BAP31 cleavage upon ER stress and for BAP31-Bcl-2 association. The recruitment of Bcl-2 to the BAP31-CDIP1 complex, as well as CDIP1-dependent truncated Bid (tBid) and caspase-8 activation, contributes to BAX oligomerization. Genetic knockout of CDIP1 in mice leads to impaired response to ER-stress-mediated apoptosis. Altogether, our data demonstrate that the CDIP1/BAP31-mediated regulation of mitochondrial apoptosis pathway represents a mechanism for establishing an ER-mitochondrial crosstalk for ER-stress-mediated apoptosis signaling.

Endoplasmic reticulum protein 5 attenuates platelet endoplasmic reticulum stress and secretion in a mouse model.

Project description:Extracellular protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs), including PDI, endoplasmic reticulum protein 57 (ERp57), ERp72, ERp46, and ERp5, are required for in vivo thrombus formation in mice. Platelets secrete PDIs upon activation, which regulate platelet aggregation. However, platelets secrete only ∼10% of their PDI content extracellularly. The intracellular role of PDIs in platelet function is unknown. Here, we aim to characterize the role of ERp5 (gene Pdia6) using platelet conditional knockout mice, platelet factor 4 (Pf4) Cre+/ERp5floxed (fl)/fl. Pf4Cre+/ERp5fl/fl mice developed mild macrothrombocytopenia. Platelets deficient in ERp5 showed marked dysregulation of their ER, indicated by a twofold upregulation of ER proteins, including PDI, ERp57, ERp72, ERp46, 78 kilodalton glucose-regulated protein (GRP78), and calreticulin. ERp5-deficient platelets showed an enhanced ER stress response to ex vivo and in vivo ER stress inducers, with enhanced phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A and inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1). ERp5 deficiency was associated with increased secretion of PDIs, an enhanced response to thromboxane A2 receptor activation, and increased thrombus formation in vivo. Our results support that ERp5 acts as a negative regulator of ER stress responses in platelets and highlight the importance of a disulfide isomerase in platelet ER homeostasis. The results also indicate a previously unanticipated role of platelet ER stress in platelet secretion and thrombosis. This may have important implications for the therapeutic applications of ER stress inhibitors in thrombosis.

EMD37 triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress in cancer cells

Project description:Targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress presents a promising strategy in cancer therapy. We have previously reported that a series of 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives induces the degradation of epidermal growth factor receptor and c-Met which are implicated in tumorigenesis. Based on our previous SAR studies, herein, we synthesized EMD37, a novel 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivative, and systematically investigated its anticancer activity.
