Proteasomal degradation of the FoxO1 transcriptional regulator in cells transformed by the P3k and Akt oncoproteins.

ABSTRACT: The P3k oncoprotein [homolog of the catalytic subunit p110alpha of class 1A phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)] and its downstream effector Akt induce oncogenic transformation in cultures of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF). The winged helix transcription factor FoxO1 is a growth-attenuating and proapoptotic protein and serves as a substrate of Akt. Here we show that FoxO1 expression is constitutively suppressed in CEF transformed by P3k or Akt. The FoxO1 protein level is high in serum-starved normal CEF, but platelet-derived growth factor treatment induces rapid phosphorylation and disappearance of FoxO1. PI3K inhibitors or the proteasome inhibitor lactacystin interfere with this process. These data suggest that phosphorylation-dependent degradation of FoxO1 by means of proteasomes plays a role in oncogenic transformation by P3k and Akt. A dominant negative mutant of FoxO1 containing the repressor domain of the Drosophila Engrailed protein induces partial oncogenic transformation of CEF and interferes with FoxO1-dependent transcriptional activation. The FoxG1 oncoprotein also inhibits transcriptional activation by FoxO1. Inhibition of FoxO1, albeit by different mechanisms, appears to be a common denominator of the PI3K and FoxG1 oncogenic pathways.

Inactivation of beta1 integrin induces proteasomal degradation of Myc oncoproteins.

Project description:The MYC family oncogenes (MYC, MYCN, and MYCL) contribute to the genesis of many human cancers. Among them, amplification of the MYCN gene and over-expression of N-Myc protein are the most reliable risk factors in neuroblastoma patients. On the other hand, we previously found that a peptide derived from fibronectin, termed FNIII14, is capable of inducing functional inactivation in ?1-integrins. Here, we demonstrate that inactivation of ?1-integrin by FNIII14 induced proteasomal degradation in N-Myc of neuroblastoma cells with MYCN amplification. This N-Myc degradation by FNIII14 reduced the malignant properties, including the anchorage-independent proliferation and invasive migration, of neuroblastoma cells. An in vivo experiment using a mouse xenograft model showed that the administration of FNIII14 can inhibit tumor growth, and concomitantly a remarkable decrease in N-Myc levels in tumor tissues. Of note, the activation of proteasomal degradation based on ?1-integrin inactivation is applicable to another Myc family oncoprotein, c-myc, which also reverses cancer-associated properties in pancreatic cancer cells. Collectively, ?1-integrin inactivation could be a new chemotherapeutic strategy for cancers with highly expressed Myc. FNIII14, which is a unique pharmacological agent able to induce ?1-integrin inactivation, may be a promising drug targeting Myc oncoproteins for cancer chemotherapy.

Insulin-induced phosphorylation of FKHR (Foxo1) targets to proteasomal degradation.

Project description:Forkhead transcription factor FKHR (Foxo1) is a key regulator of glucose homeostasis, cell-cycle progression, and apoptosis. It has been shown that FKHR is phosphorylated via insulin or growth factor signaling cascades, resulting in its cytoplasmic retention and the repression of target gene expression. Here, we investigate the fate of FKHR after cells are stimulated by insulin. We show that insulin treatment decreases endogenous FKHR proteins in HepG2 cells, which is inhibited by proteasome inhibitors. FKHR is ubiquitinated in vivo and in vitro, and insulin enhances the ubiquitination in the cells. In addition, the signal to FKHR degradation from insulin is mediated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway, and the mutation of FKHR at the serine or threonine residues phosphorylated by protein kinase B, a downstream target of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, inhibits the ubiquitination in vivo and in vitro. Finally, efficient ubiquitination of FKHR requires both phosphorylation and cytoplasmic retention in the cells. These results demonstrate that the insulin-induced phosphorylation of FKHR leads to the multistep negative regulation, not only by the nuclear exclusion but also the ubiquitination-mediated degradation.

HMGA1 is a novel transcriptional regulator of the FoxO1 gene.

Project description:PURPOSE:The forkhead transcription factor (FoxO1) is a master transcriptional regulator of fundamental cellular processes ranging from cell proliferation and differentiation to inflammation and metabolism. However, despite its relevance, the mechanism(s) underlying FoxO1 gene regulation are largely unknown. We have previously shown that the chromatin factor high-mobility group A1 (HMGA1) plays a key role in the transcriptional regulation of glucose-responsive genes, including some that are involved in FoxO1-mediated glucose metabolism. Here we investigated the impact of HMGA1 on FoxO1 gene expression. METHODS:FoxO1 protein and gene expression studies were performed by Western blot analysis combined with qRT-PCR of material from human cultured cells and EBV-transformed lymphoblasts, and from primary cultured hepatocytes from wild-type and Hmga1 -/- mice. Reporter gene assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation for binding of HMGA1 to the endogenous FoxoO1 locus were performed in cells overexpressing HMGA1 and in cells pretreated with siRNA targeting HMGA1. RESULTS:HMGA1 increased FoxO1 mRNA and protein expression in vitro, in cultured HepG2 and HEK-293 cells by binding FoxO1 gene promoter, thereby activating FoxO1 gene transcription. Forced expression of HMGA1 in primary cultured hepatocytes from Hmga1 -/- mice and in EBV-transformed lymphoblasts from subjects with reduced expression of endogenous HMGA1 increased FoxO1 mRNA and protein levels. CONCLUSION:These findings may contribute to the understanding of FoxO1 gene regulation and its role in metabolism.

Akt regulates neurite growth by phosphorylation-dependent inhibition of radixin proteasomal degradation.

Project description:Neurite growth is controlled by a complex molecular signaling network that regulates filamentous actin (F-actin) dynamics at the growth cone. The evolutionarily conserved ezrin, radixin, and moesin family of proteins tether F-actin to the cell membrane when phosphorylated at a conserved threonine residue and modulate neurite outgrowth. Here we show that Akt binds to and phosphorylates a threonine 573 residue on radixin. Akt-mediated phosphorylation protects radixin from ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation, thereby enhancing radixin protein stability, which permits proper neurite outgrowth and growth cone formation. Conversely, the inhibition of Akt kinase or disruption of Akt-dependent phosphorylation reduces the binding affinity of radixin to F-actin as well as lowers radixin protein levels, resulting in decreased neurite outgrowth and growth cone formation. Our findings suggest that Akt signaling regulates neurite outgrowth by stabilizing radixin interactions with F-actin, thus facilitating local F-actin dynamics.

PAX3-FOXO1 controls expression of the p57Kip2 cell-cycle regulator through degradation of EGR1.

Project description:The chimeric protein PAX3-FOXO1, resulting from a translocation between chromosomes 2 and 13, is the most common genetic aberration in the alveolar subtype of the human skeletal muscle tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma. To understand how PAX3-FOXO1 contributes to tumor development, we isolated and characterized muscle cells from transgenic mice expressing PAX3-FOXO1 under control of the PAX3 promoter. We demonstrate that these myoblasts are unable to complete myogenic differentiation because of an inability to up-regulate p57Kip2 transcription. This defect is caused by reduced levels of the EGR1 transcriptional activator resulting from a direct, destabilizing interaction with PAX3-FOXO1. Neither PAX3 nor FOXO1 share the ability to regulate p57Kip2 transcription. Thus, the breakage and fusion of the genes encoding these transcription factors creates a unique chimeric protein that controls a key cell-cycle and -differentiation regulator.

PMEPA1/TMEPAI Is a Unique Tumorigenic Activator of AKT Promoting Proteasomal Degradation of PHLPP1 in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells.

Project description:Transmembrane prostate androgen-induced protein (TMEPAI), also known as PMEPA1, is highly expressed in many types of cancer and promotes oncogenic abilities. However, the mechanisms whereby TMEPAI facilitates tumorigenesis are not fully understood. We previously established TMEPAI-knockout (KO) cells from human triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines and found that TMEPAI-KO cells showed reduced tumorigenic abilities. Here, we report that TMEPAI-KO cells upregulated the expression of pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase 1 (PHLPP1) and suppressed AKT Ser473 phosphorylation, which was consistent with TCGA dataset analysis. Additionally, the knockdown (KD) of PHLPP1 in TMEPAI-KO cells partially but significantly rescued AKT Ser473 phosphorylation, as well as in vitro and in vivo tumorigenic activities, thus showing that TMEPAI functions as an oncogenic protein through the regulation of PHLPP1 subsequent to AKT activation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that TMEPAI PPxY (PY) motifs are essential for binding to NEDD4-2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and PHLPP1-downregulatory ability. Moreover, TMEPAI enhanced the complex formation of PHLPP1 with NEDD4-2 and PHLPP1 polyubiquitination, which leads to its proteasomal degradation. These findings indicate that the PY motifs of TMEPAI suppress the amount of PHLPP1 and maintain AKT Ser473 phosphorylation at high levels to enhance the tumorigenic potentiality of TNBC.

Involvement of Blnk and Foxo1 in tumor suppression in BCR?ABL1?transformed pro?B cells.

Project description:Oncogenic Bcr?Abl kinase mimics pre?B cell receptor (pre?BCR) survival signals in BCR?ABL1?positive B?cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCR?ABL1+ B?ALL), driving B?cell progenitor malignant transformation; thus, defining a particularly unfavorable prognosis for patients. During B?cell development, pre?BCR differentiation signaling components terminate proliferative expansion and promote B?cell maturation. To study whether pre?BCR differentiation signaling components regulate the initiation and development of BCR?ABL1+ B?ALL, the tumor suppression mechanism of differentiation?related signaling molecules in BCR?ABL1?transformed pro?B cells were analyzed. The results demonstrated that Bcr?Abl kinase activated the PI3K/Akt pathway, promoting cell growth, and upregulated Aid expression, increasing genomic instability in pro?B cells. These findings suggest that Bcr?Abl kinase mediates pro?B cell malignant transformation. Furthermore, the present data revealed that BCR?ABL1 oncogenic stress triggered enhanced expression of B?cell differentiation components B?cell linker (Blnk) and forkhead box protein O1 (Foxo1) in BCR?ABL1 transformed pro?B cells. Using the CRISPR/Cas9?mediated Blnk or Foxo1 knockout BCR?ABL1?transformed pro?B cells, it was identified that, in BCR?ABL1?transformed pro?B cells, Blnk and Foxo1 reduced Bcr?Abl kinase activity to induce cell cycle arrest and decrease genomic instability. In addition, Blnk suppressed the PI3K/Akt pathway to reduce Foxo1 phosphorylation and heighten the Foxo1 activity, indicating that, in BCR?ABL1?transformed pro?B cells, Foxo1 participated in the regulation of Bcr?Abl kinase by Blnk. The present data highlighted the antitumor mechanisms of Blnk and Foxo1 in the regulation of Bcr?Abl kinase, and thus, may offer an alternative therapeutic strategy to Bcr?Abl kinase regulation in BCR?ABL1+ B?ALL.

Regulation of Proteasomal Degradation by Modulating Proteasomal Initiation Regions.

Project description:Methods for regulating the concentrations of specific cellular proteins are valuable tools for biomedical studies. Artificial regulation of protein degradation by the proteasome is receiving increasing attention. Efficient proteasomal protein degradation requires a degron with two components: a ubiquitin tag that is recognized by the proteasome and a disordered region at which the proteasome engages the substrate and initiates degradation. Here we show that degradation rates can be regulated by modulating the disordered initiation region by the binding of modifier molecules, in vitro and in vivo. These results suggest that artificial modulation of proteasome initiation is a versatile method for conditionally inhibiting the proteasomal degradation of specific proteins.
