HDAC6 Signaling at Primary Cilia Promotes Proliferation and Restricts Differentiation of Glioma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is an emerging therapeutic target that is overexpressed in glioblastoma when compared to other HDACs. HDAC6 catalyzes the deacetylation of alpha-tubulin and mediates the disassembly of primary cilia, a process required for cell cycle progression. HDAC6 inhibition disrupts glioma proliferation, but whether this effect is dependent on tumor cell primary cilia is unknown. We found that HDAC6 inhibitors ACY-1215 (1215) and ACY-738 (738) inhibited the proliferation of multiple patient-derived and mouse glioma cells. While both inhibitors triggered rapid increases in acetylated alpha-tubulin (aaTub) in the cytosol and led to increased frequencies of primary cilia, they unexpectedly reduced the levels of aaTub in the cilia. To test whether the antiproliferative effects of HDAC6 inhibitors are dependent on tumor cell cilia, we generated patient-derived glioma lines devoid of cilia through depletion of ciliogenesis genes ARL13B or KIF3A. At low concentrations, 1215 or 738 did not decrease the proliferation of cilia-depleted cells. Moreover, the differentiation of glioma cells that was induced by HDAC6 inhibition did not occur after the inhibition of cilia formation. These data suggest HDAC6 signaling at primary cilia promotes the proliferation of glioma cells by restricting their ability to differentiate. Surprisingly, overexpressing HDAC6 did not reduce cilia length or the frequency of ciliated glioma cells, suggesting other factors are required to control HDAC6-mediated cilia disassembly in glioma cells. Collectively, our findings suggest that HDAC6 promotes the proliferation of glioma cells through primary cilia.

Regulation of CD133 by HDAC6 promotes ?-catenin signaling to suppress cancer cell differentiation.

Project description:The pentaspan membrane glycoprotein CD133 marks lineage-specific cancer progenitor cells and is associated with poor prognosis in a number of tumor types. Despite its utility as a cancer progenitor cell marker, CD133 protein regulation and molecular function remain poorly understood. We find that the deacetylase HDAC6 physically associates with CD133 to negatively regulate CD133 trafficking down the endosomal-lysosomal pathway for degradation. We further demonstrate that CD133, HDAC6, and the central molecule of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway, ?-catenin, can physically associate as a ternary complex. This association stabilizes ?-catenin via HDAC6 deacetylase activity, which leads to activation of ?-catenin signaling targets. Downregulation of either CD133 or HDAC6 results in increased ?-catenin acetylation and degradation, which correlates with decreased proliferation in vitro and tumor xenograft growth in vivo. Given that CD133 marks progenitor cells in a wide range of cancers, targeting CD133 may be a means to treat multiple cancer types.

Expression of TAG1/APP signaling pathway in the proliferation and differentiation of glioma stem cells.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to examine the role of the expression of transient axonal glycoprotein-1 (TAG1)/precursor protein (APP) signaling pathway in the proliferation and differentiation of glioma stem cells. A glioma cell line (U373) was used as well as fluorescence quantitative PCR, western blot analysis, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), to examine the role of the expression of TAG1/APP signaling pathway in the proliferation and differentiation of glioma stem cells after five generations of in vitro culture. The results showed that compared to the normal glioma cells, the expression of TAG1 and APP was significantly increased in the proliferation of glioma stem cells. The results of ELISA and western blot analysis also confirmed a significant elevation in the protein expression of TAG1 in glioma stem cells compared to normal human glioma cells. When glioma stem cells were cultured in differentiation medium, as revealed by RT-PCR, the expression of TAG1 and APP in glioma stem cells initially increased and then decreased. In addition, the protein expression of TAG1 and APP was consistent with the RT-PCR results. Compared with undifferentiated glioma stem cells, the expression of TAG1 and APP decreased gradually with the extension of differentiation time. In conclusion, the expression of TAG1/APP signaling pathway in glioma cells was abnormal. Thus, this pathway is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of glioma cells and promotes the proliferation of glioma cells to inhibit the differentiation of glioma cells.

Primary cilia control hedgehog signaling during muscle differentiation and are deregulated in rhabdomyosarcoma.

Project description:The primary cilium acts as a cellular antenna, transducing diverse signaling pathways, and recent evidence suggests that primary cilia are important in development and cancer. However, a role for cilia in normal muscle development and rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has not been explored. Here we implicate primary cilia in proliferation, hedgehog (Hh) signaling, and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells. Cilia and Hh signaling are highly dynamic during the differentiation of myoblasts. We show that cilia are assembled during the initial stages of myogenic differentiation but disappear as cells progress through myogenesis, concomitant with the destruction of proteins critical for cilia assembly and shortly after the Hh effector, Gli3, leaves the cilium. Importantly, we show that ablation of primary cilia strongly suppresses Hh signaling and myogenic differentiation while enhancing proliferation. Interestingly, our data further indicate that both cilia assembly and Hh signaling are deregulated in RMS, and cilia respond to Hh ligand in certain subsets of RMS cells but not others. Together, these findings provide evidence for an essential role for both primary cilia assembly and disassembly in the control of Hh signaling and early differentiation in muscle cells. We suggest that the temporally orchestrated destruction of centrosomal and ciliary proteins is a necessary antecedent for removal of the primary cilium and cessation of Hh signaling during myogenic differentiation. Additionally, our results further stratify RMS populations and highlight cilia assembly and disassembly as potential RMS drug targets.

Primary Cilia as a Biomarker in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Senescence: Influencing Osteoblastic Differentiation Potency Associated with Hedgehog Signaling Regulation.

Project description:Bone tissue engineering-based therapy for bone lesions requires the expansion of seeding cells, such as autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). A major obstacle to this process is the loss of the phenotype and differentiation capacity of MSCs subjected to passage. Recent studies have suggested that primary cilia, primordial organelles that transduce multiple signals, particularly hedgehog signals, play a role in senescence. Therefore, we explored the relationships among senescence, primary cilia, and hedgehog signaling in MSCs. Ageing of MSCs by expansion in vitro was accompanied by increased cell doubling time. The osteogenic capacity of aged MSCs at passage 4 was compromised compared to that of primary cells. P4 MSCs exhibited reductions in the frequency and length of primary cilia associated with decreased intensity of Arl13b staining on cilia. Senescence also resulted in downregulation of the expression of hedgehog components and CDKN2A. Suppression of ciliogenesis reduced the gene expression of both Gli1, a key molecule in the hedgehog signaling pathway and ALP, a marker of osteoblastic differentiation. This study demonstrated that the senescence of MSCs induced the loss of osteoblastic differentiation potency and inactivated hedgehog signaling associated with attenuated ciliogenesis, indicating that primary cilia play a mediating role in and are biomarkers of MSC senescence; thus, future antisenescence strategies involving manipulation of primary cilia could be developed.

Fibronectin Promotes the Malignancy of Glioma Stem-Like Cells Via Modulation of Cell Adhesion, Differentiation, Proliferation and Chemoresistance.

Project description:Glioma stem-like cells (GSCs) are regarded as the sources of oncogenesis, recurrence, invasion and chemoresistance in malignant gliomas. Growing evidence suggests that the microenvironment surrounding GSCs interacts with tumor cells to influence biological behavior; however, the functional mechanisms involved are still unclear. In the present study, we investigated the modulation of GSCs triggered by fibronectin (FN), a main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), in terms of cell adhesion, differentiation, proliferation and chemoresistance. We demonstrated that pre-coated FN prompted increased adherence by GSCs, with increased matrix metallopeptidases (MMPs)-2 and -9 expression, in a concentration-dependent manner. Decreases in sox-2 and nestin levels, and increased levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and β-tubulin were also found in GSCs, indicating cell differentiation driven by FN. Further investigation revealed that FN promoted cell growth, as demonstrated by the elevation of Ki-67, with the activation of p-ERK1/2 and cyclin D1 also evident. In addition, FN suppressed p53-mediated apoptosis and upregulated P-glycoprotein expression, making GSCs more chemoresistant to alkylating agents such as carmustine. In contrast, this effect was reversed by an integrin inhibitor, cilengitide. Activation of the focal adhesion kinase/paxillin/AKT signaling pathway was involved in the modulation of GSCs by FN. Focusing on the interactions between tumor cells and the ECM may be an encouraging aspect of research on novel chemotherapeutic therapies in future.

Tunneling nanotubes between rat primary astrocytes and C6 glioma cells alter proliferation potential of glioma cells.

Project description:The tunneling nanotube (TNT) is a newly discovered, long and thin tubular structure between cells. In this study, we established a co-culture system for rat primary astrocytes and C6 glioma cells and found that TNTs formed between them. Most of the TNTs initiated from astrocytes towards C6 glioma cells. The formation of TNTs depended on p53. In addition, hydrogen peroxide increased the number of TNTs in the co-culture system. Established TNTs reduced the proliferation of C6 glioma cells. Our data suggest that TNTs between astrocytes and glioma cells facilitate substance transfer and therefore alter the properties, including the proliferation potential, of glioma cells.

Primary cilia-dependent signaling is involved in regulating mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and pluripotency maintenance.

Project description:Using a large-scale quantitative mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) membrane proteomics analysis, we identified a large group of ciliary proteins in the MSCs membrane fraction, which prompted us to examine the cilia, intricate organelles that were originally discovered approximately 100 years ago. Here we characterize their primary structure and function in MSCs. We first characterized the primary cilia on undifferentiated human MSCs by immunostaining and verified these observation with scanning and 3D electronic microscopy. To investigate the function of the primary cilia of the MSCs we induced loss of function by means of siRNA knockdown (targeted to two known ciliary proteins: IFT172 and KIF3A). After either of these two proteins was knocked down by the respective siRNA, the MSCs showed fewer and shortened primary cilia. The MSCs proliferation assays showed increased cell proliferative activity under confluent conditions after the siRNA knockdown of IFT172 or KIF3A; among these MSCs, the proportion in S phase was increased in the IFT172 siRNA knockdown group. The expression of stem cell markers on the MSCs, namely, Oct4, Nanog and Sox2, were downregulated after the siRNA-induced knockdown of IFT172 or KIF3A, and the gene expression upregulation of ectoderm lineage markers was notable. Furthermore, manipulation of the primary cilia-dependent Shh pathway, using the Shh activator SAG (smoothened agonist), upregulated the gene expression of pluripotency markers, including Nanog and Oct4, and transcriptional target genes in the Shh pathway. This study confirms that MSCs have primary cilia and provides evidence that primary cilia-dependent signaling pathways play functional roles in MSCs proliferation and stemness maintenance.

Fbxo41 Promotes Disassembly of Neuronal Primary Cilia.

Project description:Neuronal primary cilia are signaling organelles with crucial roles in brain development and disease. Cilia structure is decisive for their signaling capacities but the mechanisms regulating it are poorly understood. We identify Fbxo41 as a novel Skp1/Cullin1/F-box (SCF) E3-ligase complex subunit that targets to neuronal centrioles where its accumulation promotes disassembly of primary cilia, and affects sonic hedgehog signaling, a canonical ciliary pathway. Fbxo41 targeting to centrioles requires its Coiled-coil and F-box domains. Levels of Fbxo41 at the centrioles inversely correlate with neuronal cilia length, and mutations that disrupt Fbxo41 targeting or assembly into SCF-complexes also disturb its function in cilia disassembly and signaling. Fbxo41 dependent cilia disassembly in mitotic and post-mitotic cells requires rearrangements of the actin-cytoskeleton, but requires Aurora A kinase activation only in mitotic cells, highlighting important mechanistical differences controlling cilia size between mitotic and post-mitotic cells. Phorbol esters induce recruitment of overexpressed Fbxo41 to centrioles and cilia disassembly in neurons, but disassembly can also occur in absence of Fbxo41. We propose that Fbxo41 targeting to centrosomes regulates neuronal cilia structure and signaling capacity in addition to Fbxo41-independent pathways controlling cilia size.

Chronic stress promotes glioma cell proliferation via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Project description:High malignancy and high mortality of glioma render it urgent to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of glioma carcinogenesis and explore novel targets for therapy. Epidemiologic and clinical studies have revealed that chronic stress promotes the progression of various solid tumors and is correlated with poor prognosis; however, findings reporting the involvement of chronic stress in glioma are rare. In the present study, a chronic restraint animal model and a chronic stress cell model were established to explore the effects of chronic stress on glioma and its molecular mechanisms. The results revealed that chronic stress promoted glioma growth in vivo, and the serum levels of the stress hormones glucocorticoid (GC) and noradrenaline (NE) were significantly increased. In addition, GC and NE were verified to accelerate the proliferation of glioma cells in vitro. Mechanistically, the phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway was revealed to be activated under stress conditions, and inhibition of the expression of p‑Akt could restrain the stress hormone‑induced glioma cell proliferation. In addition, our data indicated that the GC receptor (GR) and β‑adrenergic receptors (ADRBs) were both required for the biological functions of GC and NE in glioma cells. In conclusion, these results indicated that chronic stress and the stress hormones GC and NE activated PI3K/Akt signaling through binding to GR and ADRBs, thereby promoting glioma cell growth. Our findings may provide potential therapeutic targets and pave the way for the development of new strategies to protect patients with glioma from the detrimental effects of stress on tumor progression.

Brat promotes stem cell differentiation via control of a bistable switch that restricts BMP signaling.

Project description:Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells (GSCs) are maintained by Dpp signaling and the Pumilio (Pum) and Nanos (Nos) translational repressors. Upon division, Dpp signaling is extinguished, and Nos is downregulated in one daughter cell, causing it to switch to a differentiating cystoblast (CB). However, downstream effectors of Pum-Nos remain unknown, and how CBs lose their responsiveness to Dpp is unclear. Here, we identify Brain Tumor (Brat) as a potent differentiation factor and target of Pum-Nos regulation. Brat is excluded from GSCs by Pum-Nos but functions with Pum in CBs to translationally repress distinct targets, including the Mad and dMyc mRNAs. Regulation of both targets simultaneously lowers cellular responsiveness to Dpp signaling, forcing the cell to become refractory to the self-renewal signal. Mathematical modeling elucidates bistability of cell fate in the Brat-mediated system, revealing how autoregulation of GSC number can arise from Brat coupling extracellular Dpp regulation to intracellular interpretation.
