Pan-cancer proteogenomic investigations identify post-transcriptional kinase targets.

ABSTRACT: Identifying genomic alterations of cancer proteins has guided the development of targeted therapies, but proteomic analyses are required to validate and reveal new treatment opportunities. Herein, we develop a new algorithm, OPPTI, to discover overexpressed kinase proteins across 10 cancer types using global mass spectrometry proteomics data of 1,071 cases. OPPTI outperforms existing methods by leveraging multiple co-expressed markers to identify targets overexpressed in a subset of tumors. OPPTI-identified overexpression of ERBB2 and EGFR proteins correlates with genomic amplifications, while CDK4/6, PDK1, and MET protein overexpression frequently occur without corresponding DNA- and RNA-level alterations. Analyzing CRISPR screen data, we confirm expression-driven dependencies of multiple currently-druggable and new target kinases whose expressions are validated by immunochemistry. Identified kinases are further associated with up-regulated phosphorylation levels of corresponding signaling pathways. Collectively, our results reveal protein-level aberrations-sometimes not observed by genomics-represent cancer vulnerabilities that may be targeted in precision oncology.

Proteogenomic data and resources for pan-cancer analysis.

Project description:The National Cancer Institute's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) investigates tumors from a proteogenomic perspective, creating rich multi-omics datasets connecting genomic aberrations to cancer phenotypes. To facilitate pan-cancer investigations, we have generated harmonized genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and clinical data for >1000 tumors in 10 cohorts to create a cohesive and powerful dataset for scientific discovery. We outline efforts by the CPTAC pan-cancer working group in data harmonization, data dissemination, and computational resources for aiding biological discoveries. We also discuss challenges for multi-omics data integration and analysis, specifically the unique challenges of working with both nucleotide sequencing and mass spectrometry proteomics data.

A Pan-Cancer Proteogenomic Atlas of PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway Alterations.

Project description:Molecular alterations involving the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (including mutation, copy number, protein, or RNA) were examined across 11,219 human cancers representing 32 major types. Within specific mutated genes, frequency, mutation hotspot residues, in silico predictions, and functional assays were all informative in distinguishing the subset of genetic variants more likely to have functional relevance. Multiple oncogenic pathways including PI3K/AKT/mTOR converged on similar sets of downstream transcriptional targets. In addition to mutation, structural variations and partial copy losses involving PTEN and STK11 showed evidence for having functional relevance. A substantial fraction of cancers showed high mTOR pathway activity without an associated canonical genetic or genomic alteration, including cancers harboring IDH1 or VHL mutations, suggesting multiple mechanisms for pathway activation.

Proteogenomic integration reveals therapeutic targets in breast cancer xenografts.

Project description:Recent advances in mass spectrometry (MS) have enabled extensive analysis of cancer proteomes. Here, we employed quantitative proteomics to profile protein expression across 24 breast cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Integrated proteogenomic analysis shows positive correlation between expression measurements from transcriptomic and proteomic analyses; further, gene expression-based intrinsic subtypes are largely re-capitulated using non-stromal protein markers. Proteogenomic analysis also validates a number of predicted genomic targets in multiple receptor tyrosine kinases. However, several protein/phosphoprotein events such as overexpression of AKT proteins and ARAF, BRAF, HSP90AB1 phosphosites are not readily explainable by genomic analysis, suggesting that druggable translational and/or post-translational regulatory events may be uniquely diagnosed by MS. Drug treatment experiments targeting HER2 and components of the PI3K pathway supported proteogenomic response predictions in seven xenograft models. Our study demonstrates that MS-based proteomics can identify therapeutic targets and highlights the potential of PDX drug response evaluation to annotate MS-based pathway activities.

Pan-cancer proteogenomic analysis reveals long and circular noncoding RNAs encoding peptides.

Project description:Recent studies show that annotated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) encode for stable, functional peptides that contribute to human development and disease. To systematically discover lncRNAs and circRNAs encoding peptides, we performed a comprehensive integrative analysis of mass spectrometry-based proteomic and transcriptomic sequencing data from >900 patients across nine cancer types. This enabled us to identify 19,871 novel peptides derived from 8,903 lncRNAs. Further, we exploited open reading frames overlapping the backspliced region of circRNAs to identify 3,238 peptides that are uniquely derived from 2,834 circRNAs and not their corresponding linear RNAs. Collectively, our pan-cancer proteogenomic analysis will serve as a resource for evaluating the coding potential of lncRNAs and circRNAs that could aid future mechanistic studies exploring their function in cancer.

T cell post-transcriptional miRNA-mRNA interaction networks identify targets associated with susceptibility/resistance to collagen-induced arthritis.

Project description:BackgroundDue to recent studies indicating that the deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) in T cells contributes to increased severity of rheumatoid arthritis, we hypothesized that deregulated miRNAs may interact with key mRNA targets controlling the function or differentiation of these cells in this disease.Methodology/principal findingsTo test our hypothesis, we used microarrays to survey, for the first time, the expression of all known mouse miRNAs in parallel with genome-wide mRNAs in thymocytes and naïve and activated peripheral CD3(+) T cells from two mouse strains the DBA-1/J strain (MHC-H2q), which is susceptible to collagen induced arthritis (CIA), and the DBA-2/J strain (MHC-H2d), which is resistant. Hierarchical clustering of data showed the several T cell miRNAs and mRNAs differentially expressed between the mouse strains in different stages of immunization with collagen. Bayesian statistics using the GenMir(++) algorithm allowed reconstruction of post-transcriptional miRNA-mRNA interaction networks for target prediction. We revealed the participation of miR-500, miR-202-3p and miR-30b*, which established interactions with at least one of the following mRNAs: Rorc, Fas, Fasl, Il-10 and Foxo3. Among the interactions that were validated by calculating the minimal free-energy of base pairing between the miRNA and the 3'UTR of the mRNA target and luciferase assay, we highlight the interaction of miR-30b*-Rorc mRNA because the mRNA encodes a protein implicated in pro-inflammatory Th17 cell differentiation (Ror?t). FACS analysis revealed that Ror?t protein levels and Th17 cell counts were comparatively reduced in the DBA-2/J strain.Conclusions/significanceThis result showed that the miRNAs and mRNAs identified in this study represent new candidates regulating T cell function and controlling susceptibility and resistance to CIA.

Approaches to Identify and Characterise the Post-Transcriptional Roles of lncRNAs in Cancer.

Project description:It is becoming increasingly evident that the non-coding genome and transcriptome exert great influence over their coding counterparts through complex molecular interactions. Among non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in particular present increased potential to participate in dysregulation of post-transcriptional processes through both RNA and protein interactions. Since such processes can play key roles in contributing to cancer progression, it is desirable to continue expanding the search for lncRNAs impacting cancer through post-transcriptional mechanisms. The sheer diversity of mechanisms requires diverse resources and methods that have been developed and refined over the past decade. We provide an overview of computational resources as well as proven low-to-high throughput techniques to enable identification and characterisation of lncRNAs in their complex interactive contexts. As more cancer research strategies evolve to explore the non-coding genome and transcriptome, we anticipate this will provide a valuable primer and perspective of how these technologies have matured and will continue to evolve to assist researchers in elucidating post-transcriptional roles of lncRNAs in cancer.

Identify gene expression pattern change at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.

Project description:Gene transcription is regulated with distinct sets of regulatory factors at multiple levels. Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation constitute two major regulation modes of gene expression to either activate or repress the initiation of transcription and thereby control the number of proteins synthesized during translation. Disruptions of the proper regulation patterns at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels are increasingly recognized as causes of human diseases. Consequently, identifying the differential gene expression at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels respectively is vital to identify potential disease-associated and/or causal genes and understand their roles in the disease development. Here, we proposed a novel method with a linear mixed model that can identify a set of differentially expressed genes at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. The simulation and real data analysis showed our method could provide an accurate way to identify genes subject to aberrant transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation and reveal the potential causal genes that contributed to the diseases.

Proteogenomic characterization of 2002 human cancers reveals pan-cancer molecular subtypes and associated pathways.

Project description:Mass-spectrometry-based proteomic data on human tumors-combined with corresponding multi-omics data-present opportunities for systematic and pan-cancer proteogenomic analyses. Here, we assemble a compendium dataset of proteomics data of 2002 primary tumors from 14 cancer types and 17 studies. Protein expression of genes broadly correlates with corresponding mRNA levels or copy number alterations (CNAs) across tumors, but with notable exceptions. Based on unsupervised clustering, tumors separate into 11 distinct proteome-based subtypes spanning multiple tissue-based cancer types. Two subtypes are enriched for brain tumors, one subtype associating with MYC, Wnt, and Hippo pathways and high CNA burden, and another subtype associating with metabolic pathways and low CNA burden. Somatic alteration of genes in a pathway associates with higher pathway activity as inferred by proteome or transcriptome data. A substantial fraction of cancers shows high MYC pathway activity without MYC copy gain but with mutations in genes with noncanonical roles in MYC. Our proteogenomics survey reveals the interplay between genome and proteome across tumor lineages.

Pan-Cancer Proteomics Analysis to Identify Tumor-Enriched and Highly Expressed Cell Surface Antigens as Potential Targets for Cancer Therapeutics.

Project description:The National Cancer Institute's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) provides unique opportunities for cancer target discovery using protein expression. Proteomics data from CPTAC tumor types have been primarily generated using a multiplex tandem mass tag (TMT) approach, which is designed to provide protein quantification relative to reference samples. However, relative protein expression data are suboptimal for prioritization of targets within a tissue type, which requires additional reprocessing of the original proteomics data to derive absolute quantitation estimation. We evaluated the feasibility of using differential protein analysis coupled with intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) to identify tumor-enriched and highly expressed cell surface antigens, employing tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics data from CPTAC. Absolute quantification derived from TMT proteomics data was highly correlated with that of label-free proteomics data from the CPTAC colon adenocarcinoma cohort, which contains proteomics data measured by both approaches. We validated the TMT-iBAQ approach by comparing the iBAQ value to the receptor density value of HER2 and TROP2 measured by flow cytometry in about 30 selected breast and lung cancer cell lines from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia. Collections of these tumor-enriched and highly expressed cell surface antigens could serve as a valuable resource for the development of cancer therapeutics, including antibody-drug conjugates and immunotherapeutic agents.

Proteomic and genetic analyses of influenza A viruses identify pan-viral host targets.

Project description:Influenza A Virus (IAV) is a recurring respiratory virus with limited availability of antiviral therapies. Understanding host proteins essential for IAV infection can identify targets for alternative host-directed therapies (HDTs). Using affinity purification-mass spectrometry and global phosphoproteomic and protein abundance analyses using three IAV strains (pH1N1, H3N2, H5N1) in three human cell types (A549, NHBE, THP-1), we map 332 IAV-human protein-protein interactions and identify 13 IAV-modulated kinases. Whole exome sequencing of patients who experienced severe influenza reveals several genes, including scaffold protein AHNAK, with predicted loss-of-function variants that are also identified in our proteomic analyses. Of our identified host factors, 54 significantly alter IAV infection upon siRNA knockdown, and two factors, AHNAK and coatomer subunit COPB1, are also essential for productive infection by SARS-CoV-2. Finally, 16 compounds targeting our identified host factors suppress IAV replication, with two targeting CDK2 and FLT3 showing pan-antiviral activity across influenza and coronavirus families. This study provides a comprehensive network model of IAV infection in human cells, identifying functional host targets for pan-viral HDT.
