Long-term in vitro expansion of epithelial stem cells enabled by pharmacological inhibition of PAK1-ROCK-Myosin II and TGF-β signaling (RNA-seq)

ABSTRACT: Despite substantial self-renewal capability in vivo, epithelial stem and progenitor cells located in various tissues expand for a few passages in vitro in feeder-free condition before they succumb to growth arrest. Here we describe the EpiX™ method that utilizes small molecules that inhibit PAK1-ROCK-Myosin II and TGF-β signaling to achieve over one trillion-fold expansion of human epithelial stem and progenitor cells from skin, airway, mammary and prostate glands in the absence of feeder cells. Transcriptomic and epigenomic studies show that this condition helps epithelial cells to overcome stresses for continuous proliferation. EpiX-expanded basal epithelial cells differentiate into mature epithelial cells consistent with their tissue origins. Whole genome sequencing reveals that the cells retain remarkable genome integrity after extensive in vitro expansion without acquiring tumorigenicity. EpiX technology provides a solution to exploit the potential of tissue-resident epithelial stem and progenitor cells for regenerative medicine.

PAK1 is a Therapeutic Target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Project description:Poor clinical outcome of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) has been attributed to failure of current chemotherapeutic regimens to target leukemic stem cells. We recently identified p21-activated kinase (PAK1) as a downstream effector molecule of H2.0-like homeobox (HLX), a gene functionally relevant for AML pathogenesis. In this study, we find that inhibition of PAK1 activity by small molecule inhibitors or by RNA interference leads to profound leukemia-inhibitory effects both in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of PAK1 induces differentiation and apoptosis of AML cells through downregulation of MYC oncogene and a core network of MYC target genes. Moreover, we find that PAK1 up-regulation occurs during disease progression and is relevant for patient survival in MDS. Importantly, we find that inhibition of PAK1 inhibits primary human leukemic cells including immature leukemic stem cell-enriched populations. Our studies highlight PAK1 as a novel target in AML and MDS, and support the use of PAK1 inhibitors as a therapeutic strategy in these diseases. To obtain insight into the molecular mechanism for the induction of apoptosis and differentiation resulting from PAK1 inhibition in AML, we performed gene expression microarrays following treatment with either IPA-3 or FRAX-597. RNA was isolated from THP-1 cells after 5 hours of treatment with IPA-3 (6 ug/mL), FRAX-597 (2 ug/mL) or an equal volume of DMSO using Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen).

Comparative gene profiling study: Pak1 deficient mouse breast cancer cells vs Pak1 wt breast cancer cells

Project description:To identify differentially regulated genes between wild-type and Pak1 deficient mouse breast cancer cells, we performed a comparative gene profiling study by using mouse whole genome arrays. We compared the gene expression profiles of Her2 positive : Pak1 deficient cells vs Her2 positive : Pak1 wild type cells. All the experiments were performed in duplicate using tumor derived cells from two different tumors per group.

Pak1-ATF2 signaling axis induces miR-132 to inhibit hematogenous metastasis

Project description:Pak1 as a serine/threonine kinase, has been implicated in cytoskeletal remodelling, cell motility, apoptosis and transformation. Pak1 plays important roles in multiple signal pathways. Pak1 protects cells from apoptosis through at least three different pathways including forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and DLC1. Pak1 also regulates activity of Raf and Aurora kinases to affect cellular proliferation. Overexpression of Pak1 is involved in the regulation of actin assembly and disassembly through phosphorylations of LIM Kinase and cytoskeletal associated proteins such as Filamin A, Paxillin, Caldesmon, Cortactin and Arp2/3. Pak1 also regulates microtubule dynamics via activation of tubulin cofactor B (TCoB) and DLC1, and inhibition of stathmin. In spite of a large body of work about the mechanism of Pak1 action in cancer, it remains unknown whether Pak1 signaling could potentially regulate the biology of regulatory miRNAs. This is particularly relevant for gastric cancer because Pak1 can activate many regulators of miRNAs expression in gastric cancer cells including NF-kappaB and ERK, and Pak1 signaling has profound phenotypic effects on the biology of gastric cancer cells. We constructed Pak1 knockdown stable cell lines. The stable Pak1 knockdown gastric cancer BGC823 cells and control cells were performed miRNA chip analysis by CapitalBio company. Gastric cancer BGC823 cells with stable Pak1 knockdown and BGC-823 gastric cancer cells transfected with U6 were used in this experiment. Total RNA was extracted by trizol,Here we use a Capitalbio mammal microRNA V3.0(CapitalBio, Beijing, China) containing 509 well-characterized human, mouse and rat miRNAs and various controls to profile the expression levels of miRNA in 16 and conU6 group.three chip were test in each group, and the procedure was repeated twice.

Project description:To identify differentially regulated genes between wild-type and Pak1 deficient human breast cancer cells, we performed a comparative gene profiling study by using human whole genome arrays. We compared the gene expression profiles of MCF10A.B2 cells (MCF10A cells expressing a chemically activatable form of Her2) stably expressing a Tet inducible shRNA directed against Pak1 gene. All the experiments were performed in duplicate using tumor derived cells from two different tumors per group.
