The calcitonin receptor on T 47D breast cancer cells. Evidence for glycosylation.

ABSTRACT: The glycosyl nature of the receptor for the peptide hormone calcitonin has been investigated in a human breast cancer cell line, T 47D. Studies have been carried out to assess the ability of various lectins and of the antibiotic tunicamycin to inhibit specific binding of calcitonin to the cells, to reduce cross-linking of photoactive calcitonin to a macromolecular receptor component and to influence calcitonin stimulation of cyclic AMP. Pre-incubation of cells with low concentrations of tunicamycin for 72 h resulted in a reduction of total specific binding by approx. 80% and a 40% reduction in calcitonin-stimulated adenylate cyclase; formation of the cross-linked receptor component was also inhibited. Wheat-germ lectin showed the most marked inhibition of total specific binding and cyclic AMP production. However, cross-linking of photoactive calcitonin to receptor component was totally inhibited by this lectin. Soya-bean lectin brought about very little reduction in total specific binding but had more profound effects on calcitonin-stimulated cyclic AMP production and cross-linking of photoactive calcitonin. Concanavalin A and lentil lectin showed some inhibition of all parameters. The data indicate that the calcitonin receptor in T 47D cells is associated with glycosyl moieties, the major contributors of which are N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues, but N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and mannose residues are also associated.

Processing of calcitonin and epidermal growth factor after binding to receptors in human breast cancer cells (T 47D).

Project description:125I-labelled calcitonin and 125I-labelled epidermal growth factor (EGF) bound to T 47D breast cancer cells at 37 degrees C in a manner that became increasingly resistant to removal by acid pH. Bound 125I-labelled EGF became resistant to acid removal more rapidly than did bound 125I-labelled calcitonin. The shift from acid accessibility to acid inaccessibility was energy-dependent since it was not seen at 4 degrees C and was inhibited in the presence of cell metabolic inhibitors. Radioactivity removed by acid represented intact hormone as assessed by trichloroacetic acid precipitation, whereas radioactivity released spontaneously by the cells was trichloroacetic acid-soluble. Inclusion of 10 mM-NH4Cl in the incubation medium resulted in an accumulation of cell-associated radioactivity without affecting the shift to acid inaccessibility. The accumulated radioactivity was relatively more trichloroacetic acid-precipitable in comparison with that associated with control cells. These data are consistent with internalization of receptor-bound EGF and a similar though slower mechanism of processing for receptor-bound calcitonin. The predominant route of hormone release from cells seems to occur via intracellular degradation rather than dissociation from cell-surface receptors.

Calcitonin binding and degradation by two cultured human breast cancer cell lines (MCF 7 and T 47D).

Project description:Two human breast cancer cell lines (MCF 7 and T 47D) possess calcitonin-responsive adenylate cyclase systems. Suspended cells of both lines specifically bound 125I-labelled salmon calcitonin with mean dissociation constants of 1.7 nM (MCF 7) and 1.4 nM (T 47D); mean receptor numbers were 5300 and 24400 per cell respectively. Measurement of specific binding to MCF 7 cells was obscured by rapid and substantial degradation of the labelled hormone. Degradation of 125I-labelled salmon calcitonin: (i) was of high capacity; (ii) lacked the specificity displayed by 125I-labelled salmon calcitonin binding to the same cells; and (iii) was not related to binding since cell incubation supernatants retained full degrading activity. The degrading activity was inhibited by corticotropin (1-24)-tetracosapeptide, insulin and bacitracin. Inclusion of bacitracin in the incubation resulted in apparently fewer numbers of lower affinity receptors on MCF 7 cells, whereas these parameters were identical to T 47D cells incubated in the presence or absence of bacitracin. Eel [2-aminosuberic acid 1,7]-calcitonin was resistant to proteolysis in the presence of either cell line. Analysis of hormone-receptor interactions with calcitonin-responsive cells should take account of potent calcitonin-degrading activities in some cell lines.

Calcitonin Receptor N-Glycosylation Enhances Peptide Hormone Affinity by Controlling Receptor Dynamics.

Project description:The class B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) calcitonin receptor (CTR) is a drug target for osteoporosis and diabetes. N-glycosylation of asparagine 130 in its extracellular domain (ECD) enhances calcitonin hormone affinity with the proximal GlcNAc residue mediating this effect through an unknown mechanism. Here, we present two crystal structures of salmon calcitonin-bound, GlcNAc-bearing CTR ECD at 1.78 and 2.85 Å resolutions and analyze the mechanism of the glycan effect. The N130 GlcNAc does not contact the hormone. Surprisingly, the structures are nearly identical to a structure of hormone-bound, N-glycan-free ECD, which suggested that the GlcNAc might affect CTR dynamics not observed in the static crystallographic snapshots. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulations revealed that glycosylation stabilized a β-sheet adjacent to the N130 GlcNAc and the N-terminal α-helix near the peptide-binding site while increasing flexibility of the peptide-binding site turret loop. These changes due to N-glycosylation increased the ligand on-rate and decreased its off-rate. The glycan effect extended to RAMP-CTR amylin receptor complexes and was also conserved in the related CGRP receptor. These results reveal that N-glycosylation can modulate GPCR function by altering receptor dynamics.

The eIF4A inhibitor silvestrol sensitizes T-47D ductal breast carcinoma cells to external-beam radiotherapy.

Project description:PurposeeIF4A is an RNA helicase that forms part of the machinery of translation initiation.Proteomic analysis demonstrated eIF4A expression to be at least two-fold greater in a radioresistant derivative of T-47D breast cancer cells compared to parental cells.Inhibition of eIF4A has previously been shown to re-sensitize lymphomas to chemotherapeutic agents that cause DNA damage.The objective of this work is to investigate whether inhibition of eIF4A using silvestrol sensitizes breast cancer cells to radiotherapy in tissue culture, using T-47D as a model system.Methods and materialsT-47D cells were incubated in medium containing 0 nM to 1 nM silvestrol either for 24 h prior to irradiation at 0 Gy to 10 Gy, delivered by linear accelerator (LINAC) or continually for six days post irradiation. MTT viability and clonogenic assays were used to quantify response.ResultsPre-treatment of T-47D cells with 1 nM silvestrol caused a 34% reduction (p = 0.014) in viability on irradiation at 2 Gy compared to treatment with a DMSO control, as assessed by MTT assay.Maintenance of cells in 1 nM silvestrol for six days following irradiation at 2 Gy caused a 58% reduction (p = <0.001) in tumor cell viability.Clonogenic assays performed on cells maintained in 1 nM silvestrol following irradiation showed a dose modifying factor (DMF) of 1.4 (p = <0.001, one-way ANOVA).ConclusionsLow concentrations of silvestrol sensitize T-47D breast cancer cells to radiation with minimal effects on unirradiated cells. This highlights the possible usefulness of eIF4A inhibition in potentiating radiation-induced damage at the tumor site without causing systemic toxicity.

Calcitonin Receptor-Zonula Occludens-1 Interaction Is Critical for Calcitonin-Stimulated Prostate Cancer Metastasis.

Project description:The role of neuroendocrine peptide calcitonin (CT) and its receptor (CTR) in epithelial cancer progression is an emerging concept with great clinical potential. Expression of CT and CTR is frequently elevated in prostate cancers (PCs) and activation of CT-CTR axis in non-invasive PC cells induces an invasive phenotype. Here we show by yeast-two hybrid screens that CTR associates with the tight junction protein Zonula Occludens-1 (ZO-1) via the interaction between the type 1 PDZ motif at the carboxy-terminus of CTR and the PDZ3 domain of ZO-1. Mutation of either the CTR C-PDZ-binding motif or the ZO-1-PDZ3 domain did not affect binding of CTR with its ligand or G-protein-mediated signaling but abrogated destabilizing actions of CT on tight junctions and formation of distant metastases by orthotopically implanted PC cells in nude mice, indicating that these PDZ domain interactions were pathologically relevant. Further, we observed CTR-ZO-1 interactions in PC specimens by proximity ligation immunohistochemistry, and identified that the number of interactions in metastatic PC specimens was several-fold larger than in non-metastatic PC. Our results for the first time demonstrate a mechanism by which PDZ-mediated interaction between CTR and ZO1 is required for CT-stimulated metastasis of prostate cancer. Since many receptors contain PDZ-binding motifs, this would suggest that PDZ-binding motif-adaptor protein interactions constitute a common mechanism for cancer metastasis.

ppGalNAc-T4-catalyzed O-Glycosylation of TGF-β type Ⅱ receptor regulates breast cancer cells metastasis potential.

Project description:GalNAc-type O-glycosylation, initially catalyzed by polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (ppGalNAc-Ts), is one of the most abundant and complex posttranslational modifications of proteins. Emerging evidence has proven that aberrant ppGalNAc-Ts are involved in malignant tumor transformation. However, the exact molecular functions of ppGalNAc-Ts are still unclear. Here, the role of one isoform, ppGalNAc-T4, in breast cancer cell lines was investigated. The expression of ppGalNAc-T4 was found to be negatively associated with migration of breast cancer cells. Loss-of-function studies revealed that ppGalNAc-T4 attenuated the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells by inhibiting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Correspondingly, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling, which is the upstream pathway of EMT, was impaired by ppGalNAc-T4 expression. ppGalNAc-T4 knockout decreased O-GalNAc modification of TGF-β type Ⅰ and Ⅱ receptor (TβR Ⅰ and Ⅱ) and led to the elevation of TGF-β receptor dimerization and activity. Importantly, a peptide from TβR Ⅱ was identified as a naked peptide substrate of ppGalNAc-T4 with a higher affinity than ppGalNAc-T2. Further, Ser31, corresponding to the extracellular domain of TβR Ⅱ, was identified as the O-GalNAcylation site upon in vitro glycosylation by ppGalNAc-T4. The O-GalNAc-deficient S31 A mutation enhanced TGF-β signaling activity and EMT in breast cancer cells. Together, these results identified a novel mechanism of ppGalNAc-T4-catalyzed TGF-β receptors O-GalNAcylation that suppresses breast cancer cell migration and invasion via the EMT process. Targeting ppGalNAc-T4 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for breast cancer treatment.

The Androgen Receptor is a Tumor Suppressor in Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer [T-47D cell line ChIP-seq]

Project description:The role of the androgen receptor (AR) in estrogen receptor alpha (ER) positive breast cancer is controversial, constraining implementation of AR-directed therapies. Using a diverse, clinically relevant panel of cell-line and patient-derived models, we demonstrate that AR activation, not suppression, exerts potent anti-tumor activity in multiple disease contexts, including resistance to standard-of-care ER and CDK4/6 inhibitors. Importantly, AR agonists combined with standard-of-care agents enhanced therapeutic responses. Mechanistically, agonist activation of AR altered the genomic distribution of ER and essential co-activators (p300, SRC-3), resulting in repression of ER-regulated cell cycle genes and up-regulation of AR target genes, including known tumor suppressors. A gene signature of AR activity positively predicted disease survival in multiple clinical ER+ breast cancer cohorts. These findings provide unambiguous evidence that AR has a tumor suppressor role in ER+ breast cancer and support AR agonism as the optimal AR-directed treatment strategy, revealing a rational therapeutic opportunity.

Glycosylation Modulates Plasma Membrane Trafficking of CD24 in Breast Cancer Cells.

Project description:In breast cancer, expression of Cluster of Differentiation 24 (CD24), a small GPI-anchored glycoprotein at the cell periphery, is associated with metastasis and immune escape, while its absence is associated with tumor-initiating capacity. Since the mechanism of CD24 sorting is unknown, we investigated the role of glycosylation in the subcellular localization of CD24. Expression and localization of wild type N36- and/or N52-mutated CD24 were analyzed using immunofluorescence in luminal (MCF-7) and basal B (MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T) breast cancer cells lines, as well as HEK293T cells. Endogenous and exogenously expressed wild type and mutated CD24 were found localized at the plasma membrane and the cytoplasm, but not the nucleoplasm. The cell lines showed different kinetics for the sorting of CD24 through the secretory/endocytic pathway. N-glycosylation, especially at N52, and its processing in the Golgi were critical for the sorting and expression of CD24 at the plasma membrane of HEK293T and basal B type cells, but not of MCF-7 cells. In conclusion, our study highlights the contribution of N-glycosylation for the subcellular localization of CD24. Aberrant N-glycosylation at N52 of CD24 could account for the lack of CD24 expression at the cell surface of basal B breast cancer cells.

N-Glycosylation of Asparagine 130 in the Extracellular Domain of the Human Calcitonin Receptor Significantly Increases Peptide Hormone Affinity.

Project description:The calcitonin receptor (CTR) is a class B G protein-coupled receptor that is activated by the peptide hormones calcitonin and amylin. Calcitonin regulates bone remodeling through CTR, whereas amylin regulates blood glucose and food intake by activating CTR in complex with receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPs). These receptors are targeted clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis and diabetes. Here, we define the role of CTR N-glycosylation in hormone binding using purified calcitonin and amylin receptor extracellular domain (ECD) glycoforms and fluorescence polarization/anisotropy and isothermal titration calorimetry peptide-binding assays. N-Glycan-free CTR ECD produced in Escherichia coli exhibited ?10-fold lower peptide affinity than CTR ECD produced in HEK293T cells, which yield complex N-glycans, or in HEK293S GnTI- cells, which yield core N-glycans (Man5GlcNAc2). PNGase F-catalyzed removal of N-glycans at N73, N125, and N130 in the CTR ECD decreased peptide affinity ?10-fold, whereas Endo H-catalyzed trimming of the N-glycans to single GlcNAc residues had no effect on peptide binding. Similar results were observed for an amylin receptor RAMP2-CTR ECD complex. Characterization of peptide-binding affinities of purified N ? Q CTR ECD glycan site mutants combined with PNGase F and Endo H treatment strategies and mass spectrometry to define the glycan species indicated that a single GlcNAc residue at CTR N130 was responsible for the peptide affinity enhancement. Molecular modeling suggested that this GlcNAc functions through an allosteric mechanism rather than by directly contacting the peptide. These results reveal an important role for N-linked glycosylation in the peptide hormone binding of a clinically relevant class B GPCR.
