Protein Kinase C Alpha Promotes Tumor Growth by Initiating a Feed-forward Network Involving miR-15a and Cyclin E

ABSTRACT: Protein Kinase C alpha (PKC) is associated with progression and poor prognosis in head and neck cancer. Previous studies have demonstrated that PKC sustains the proliferative signal by increasing cyclin E expression, leading to enhanced E2F target gene transcription and DNA synthesis. Here we show that PKC increases DNA synthesis through inhibition of the microRNA, miR-15a, upregulating translation of its target cyclin E. Importantly, gene expression and qRT-PCR analysis of primary squamous cell carcinoma tumors of the head and neck (SCCHN) reveals a significant negative correlation between PKC alpha and miR-15a levels. In contrast to normal cell cycle initiation, PKC decreases microRNA expression, leading first to increased cyclin E protein followed by enhanced transcription of cyclin E and other DNA synthesis mediators. These results identify a signaling network regulated by PKC whereby constitutive kinase activation switches the system to feed forward, overriding normal regulation of cell cycle progression through a post-transcriptional mechanism involving microRNAs. This reprogramming of the network is likely a more general phenomenon that can account for the oncogenic potency of established signaling pathways. Keywords: miRNA; dose response; cancer

Tumor Growth and Prognosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck is Linked to Protein Kinase C Alpha

Project description:Protein Kinase C alpha (PKC) is a critical mediator of cell signaling and cancer growth. We show that PKC inhibitors decrease proliferation in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) cells and abrogate growth of SCCHN tumors in mouse xenografts. Analysis of gene expression arrays reveals that PKC regulates cell cycle genes required for DNA synthesis. In particular, PKC increases cyclin E protein expression, cyclinE/cdk2 complex formation, and transcription of cyclin E and E2F target genes. Consistent with this mechanism, expression of cyclin E rescues the block in DNA synthesis caused by PKC inhibition. In SCCHN tissue, PKC and cyclin E expression increase progressively from normal and dysplastic to malignant human head and neck tissue. Furthermore, PKC expression correlates with poor prognosis in SCCHN. These results demonstrate that PKC regulates growth by stimulating DNA synthesis through cyclin E and E2F and identify PKC as a therapeutic target that is highly expressed in aggressive SCCHN. Keywords: time course; dose response

Small RNA Sequencing of mouse amygdala after knockdown of miR-15a

Project description:MicroRNAs are important regulators of gene expression and associated with stress-related psychiatric disorders. We report that exposing mice to chronic stress led to a specific increase in microRNA-15a levels in the amygdala-Ago2 complex, and a concomitant reduction in the levels of its predicted target, FKBP51, which is implicated in stress-related psychiatric disorders. Reciprocally, mice expressing reduced levels of amygdalar microRNA-15a following exposure to chronic stress exhibited increased anxiety-like behaviors. Here, we performed small RNA Sequencing of mouse basolateral amygdala after miR15a knockdown using injection of a miR-15a sponge virus or control sponge virus.

Gene expression data from head and neck cancer patient derived xenografts

Project description:Head and neck cancer is a hetergeneous disease. Based on previoulsy defined molecular subtypes we associated gene expression with response to different compounds. We used microarry gene expression for molecular subtyping Cetuximab is the single targeted therapy approved for the treatment of head and neck cancer (SCCHN). Predictive biomarkers have not been established in the clinical setting and patient stratification based on molecular tumor profiles has not been possible. Since EGFR pathway activation is pronounced in basal subtype, we hypothesized this activation could be a predictive signature for an EGFR directed treatment. From our patient derived xenograft platform of head and neck cancer, 28 models were subjected to Affymetrix gene expression studies on HG U133+ 2.0. Based on the expression of 821 genes, the subtype of each of the 28 models was determined by integrating gene expression profiles through centroid-clustering with previously published gene expression data by Keck et al.,CCR 2015. Response was evaluated by comparing tumor volume at treatment initiation and after three weeks of treatment (RTV).

miR-34a is downregulated in cis-diamminedichloroplatinum treated sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma patients with poor prognosis.

Project description:For the purpose of analyzing mechanisms related to the cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (head and neck SCC), we employed a nasal squamous cell carcinoma (nasal SCC) cell line RPMI2650 and its CDDP resistant substrain RPMI2650CR previously described. The identification of the resistance-related microRNA (miR) clusters was conducted between RPMI2650CR and RPMI2650 using microRNA microarray.
