Project description:Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common kidney cancer in the adult population. Late diagnosis, resistance to therapeutics and recurrence of metastatic lesions account for the highest mortality rate among kidney cancer patients. Identifying novel biomarkers for early cancer detection and elucidating the mechanisms underlying ccRCC growth and progression will provide clues to treat this aggressive malignant tumor. Method: Expression studies of RING ligase praja2 and tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) in renal cell carcinoma was evaluated by immunoblot and immunohistochemistry. Gene transcription profiling in RCC cells was evaluated by RNA sequencing and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Imunofluorescence assays were used to evaluate the intracellular distribution and clearance of membrane receptors in cells devoid of praja2. Ubiquitin modifications and protein-protein interaction networks were monitored by IP, western blot, mass spectrometry and proteomic analysis. Experiments in vitro and in vivo were performed to define the role of praja2 in RTKs turnover, metabolism, renal cell carcinoma growth and metastatic diffusion. Results: We report here that the ubiquitin ligase praja2 controls endocytosis and the signal strength of different types of receptors (EGFR, VEGFR, TfR). Praja2 forms a complex with- and ubiquitinates the adaptor protein AP2m required for the activity of ATPase and acidification of endosomes and lysosomes necessary for receptor endocytosis and clearance. Downregulation of praja2 blocks the endocytosis of several membrane receptors, including EGFR, VEGFR and TfR and amplifies mitogenic and proliferative signaling as shown in the clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Restoring praja2 expression in RCC cells reduces EGFR levels, rewires cancer cell metabolism and inhibits growth and metastatic diffusion. In vivo, praja2 knockout mice show upregulation of tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) and pronounced histopathological renal alterations. Conclusion: Our findings identify praja2 as an important regulator of tyrosine kinase receptor(s) turnover and can be considered a bona fide oncosuppressor because it finely regulates signaling of several types of receptors and its loss supports kidney cancer growth and diffusion.

Project description:Bianconi2012 - EGFR and IGF1R pathway in lung cancer
EGFR and IGF1R pathways play a key role in various human cancers and are crucial for tumour transformation and survival of malignant cells. High EGFR and IGF1R expression and activity has been associated with multiple aspects of cancer progression including tumourigenesis, metastasis, resistance to chemotherapeutics and other molecularly targeted drugs. Here, the biological relationship between the proteins involved in EGFR and IGF1R pathways and the downstream MAPK and PIK3 networks has been modelled to study the time behaviour of the overall system, and the functional interdependencies among the receptors, the proteins and kinases involved.

Abstract:
In this paper we propose a Systems Biology approach to understand the molecular biology of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR, also known as ErbB1/HER1) and type 1 Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF1R) pathways in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This approach, combined with Translational Oncology methodologies, is used to address the experimental evidence of a close relationship among EGFR and IGF1R protein expression, by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and gene amplification, by in situ hybridization (FISH) and the corresponding ability to develop a more aggressive behavior. We develop a detailed in silico model, based on ordinary differential equations, of the pathways and study the dynamic implications of receptor alterations on the time behavior of the MAPK cascade down to ERK, which in turn governs proliferation and cell migration. In addition, an extensive sensitivity analysis of the proposed model is carried out and a simplified model is proposed which allows us to infer a similar relationship among EGFR and IGF1R activities and disease outcome.

Project description:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently overexpressed in cancer and is an important therapeutic target. Aberrant expression and function of microRNAs has been associated with tumorigenesis. Bioinformatic predictions suggest that the human EGFR mRNA 3’-untranslated region contains three microRNA-7 (miR-7) target sites, which are not conserved across mammals. We found that miR-7 down-regulates EGFR mRNA and protein expression in cancer cell lines (lung, breast, and glioblastoma) via two of the three sites, inducing cell cycle arrest and cell death. Because miR-7 was shown to decrease EGFR mRNA expression, we used microarray analysis to identify additional mRNA targets of miR-7. These included Raf1 and multiple other genes involved in EGFR signaling and tumorigenesis. Furthermore, miR-7 attenuated activation of protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), two critical effectors of EGFR signaling, in different cancer cell lines. These data establish an important role for miR-7 in controlling mRNA expression and indicate that miR-7 has the ability to coordinately regulate EGFR signaling in multiple human cancer cell types. Four samples are analysed: two biological replicates of A549 cells treated with miR-7 precursor and two biological replicates of A549 cells treated with miR-NC negative control precursor.

Project description:Orton2009 - Modelling cancerous mutations in
the EGFR/ERK pathway - EGF Model
This model studies the aberrations in
ERK signalling for different cancer mutations. The authors alter a
previously existing EGF model (Brown et al 2004) to include new
interactions that better fit empirical data.
Predictions show that the ERK signalling is a robust mechanism
taking different courses for different cancer mutations. Most
parameter values are used from the previous model and the new
parameters are estimated using experimental data performed by
the authors on PC12 cells (adrenal gland, rat). The authors
provide an SBML version of the model in the paper.

Abstract:
The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) activated
Extracellular-signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) pathway is a
critical cell signalling pathway that relays the signal for a
cell to proliferate from the plasma membrane to the nucleus.
Deregulation of the EGFR/ERK pathway due to alterations
affecting the expression or function of a number of pathway
components has long been associated with numerous forms of
cancer. Under normal conditions, Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
stimulates a rapid but transient activation of ERK as the
signal is rapidly shutdown. Whereas, under cancerous mutation
conditions the ERK signal cannot be shutdown and is sustained
resulting in the constitutive activation of ERK and continual
cell proliferation. In this study, we have used computational
modelling techniques to investigate what effects various
cancerous alterations have on the signalling flow through the
ERK pathway.We have generated a new model of the EGFR activated
ERK pathway, which was verified by our own experimental data.
We then altered our model to represent various cancerous
situations such as Ras, B-Raf and EGFR mutations, as well as
EGFR overexpression. Analysis of the models showed that
different cancerous situations resulted in different signalling
patterns through the ERK pathway, especially when compared to
the normal EGF signal pattern. Our model predicts that
cancerous EGFR mutation and overexpression signals almost
exclusively via the Rap1 pathway, predicting that this pathway
is the best target for drugs. Furthermore, our model also
highlights the importance of receptor degradation in normal and
cancerous EGFR signalling, and suggests that receptor
degradation is a key difference between the signalling from the
EGF and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) receptors.Our results suggest
that different routes to ERK activation are being utilised in
different cancerous situations which therefore has interesting
implications for drug selection strategies. We also conducted a
comparison of the critical differences between signalling from
different growth factor receptors (namely EGFR, mutated EGFR,
NGF, and Insulin) with our results suggesting the difference
between the systems are large scale and can be attributed to
the presence/absence of entire pathways rather than subtle
difference in individual rate constants between the
systems.

Project description:This research study will test the safety of the investigational drug, ZD6474, in combination with 2 other drugs that are standard in the treatment of colon and rectal cancer (cetuximab and irinotecan). ZD6474 blocks the action of two substances in the body: vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). VEGFR stimulates the formation of new blood vessels. When cancer cells produce VEGFR, new blood vessels are made that provide blood to the cancer cells. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen, allowing the cancer cells to live and grow. EGFR controls how quickly cells grow and multiply. Both of these substances are found on normal cells, but they are found in much higher levels on cancer cells.

Project description:Ligand-stimulated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling plays fundamental roles in normal cell physiology, such as cell growth, cell proliferation, and cell survival. Deregulation of EGFR signaling contributes to the development and progression of diseases including cancer. Despite its essential role in biology, the mechanisms by which EGFR signaling is regulated in cells are still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that O-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification serves as an important regulator of EGFR intracellular trafficking and degradation. Mechanistically, O-GlcNAcylation of hepatocyte growth factor regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (HGS), a key protein in EGFR intraluminal sorting pathway, inhibits HGS interaction with signal-transducing adaptor molecule (STAM), thereby impairing the formation of endosomal sorting complex required for transport-0 (ESCRT-0). Moreover, O-GlcNAcylation increases HGS ubiquitination and decreases its protein stability in cells. Consequently, HGS O-GlcNAcylation inhibits EGFR intraluminal sorting and lysosomal degradation, leading to the accumulation of EGFR and prolonged EGFR signaling in cells.

Project description:Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) bind growth factors and are critical for cell proliferation and differentiation. Their dysregulation leads to a loss of growth control, often resulting in cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the prototypic RTK and can bind several ligands exhibiting distinct mitogenic potentials. Whereas the phosphorylation on individual EGFR sites and their roles for downstream signaling have been extensively studied, less is known about ligand-specific ubiquitination events on EGFR, which are crucial for signal attenuation and termination. We used a proteomics-based workflow for absolute quantitation combined with mathematical modelling to unveil potentially decisive ubiquitination events on EGFR from the first 30 seconds to 15 minutes of stimulation. Four ligands were used for stimulation: epidermal growth factor (EGF), heparin-binding-EGF like growth factor, transforming growth factor- and epiregulin. Whereas only little differences in the kinetic profiles of individual ubiquitination sites were observed, the overall amount of modified receptor differed depending on the used ligand, indicating that absolute magnitude of EGFR ubiquitination, and not distinctly regulated ubiquitination sites, is a major determinant for signal attenuation and the subsequent cellular outcomes.

Project description:Adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic subtype of lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer death. We and others previously identified TTF-1, a lineage-specific transcription factor required for branching morphogenesis and physiological lung functions, as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung adenocarcinoma. However, how TTF-1 mediates survival signals remains elusive. Here we show that TTF-1 induces receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), which in turn mediates TTF-1 survival signaling in lung adenocarcinoma. Inhibition of ROR1 impaired prosurvival signaling through the PI3K-AKT pathway and induced nuclear accumulation of FOXO1. These were found to be imposed, at least in part, through PTEN inactivation via c-Src, while ROR1 was shown to physically interact with and phosphorylate c-Src. ROR1 inhibition also elicited marked p38 activation, provoking ill-balance between prosurvival and proapoptotic signaling, and consequential “oncogenic shock.” In addition, we found that ROR1 is crucially involved in EGFR- and MET-mediated prosurvival signaling. ROR1 knockdown effectively induced apoptosis in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with acquired EGFR TKI resistance conferred by a secondary T790M EGFR mutation, or HGF-elicited MET signaling and resultant switching of the addicted receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Taken together, our findings indicate that ROR1 RTK is a very promising molecular target for development of a novel therapeutic means to treat this hard-to-cure cancer.

Project description:Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-α inhibitors are clinically active in squamous carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck (H&N) bearing mutations or amplification of PIK3CA. We aimed to identify potential mechanism of resistance and have observed that SCCs cells overcome the antitumor effects of the PI3Kα inhibitor BYL719 by maintaining PI3K-independent activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). The persistent mTOR activation is mediated by the tyrosine kinase receptor AXL. We found that AXL is overexpressed in resistant tumors, dimerizes with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), phosphorylates EGFR tyrosine 1173, resulting in activation of phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ)- protein kinase C (PKC) that, in turn, activates mTOR. Finally, simultaneous treatment with PI3Kα and either EGFR, AXL or PKC inhibitors reverts this resistance. RNAseq from acquired resistant cells CAL33B, K180B were compared to their parental counterpart CAL33 and K180, respectively. K180 is a shortcut of KYSE180, and B stands for BYL719. Duplicate of parental sensitive cells and K180B, and triplicate for CAL33B.
