Project description:Cen3tel cells, obtained by telomerase immortalization of human fibroblasts, gradually underwent neoplastic transformation and became metastatic in immunocompromised mice. Neoplastic transformation was associated with a change in cell morphology (from fibroblastic to polygonal). Tumorigenic cells acquired a clear-cut membrane localization of adhesion molecules, a reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, increased cell motility and invasiveness. In a 3-dimensional environment, tumorigenic cells showed a spherical morphology with cortical actin rings, suggesting a switch from a mesenchymal to an amoeboid ROCK-dependent movement. Accordingly, cell invasion decreased upon treatment with the ROCK inhibitor Y27632, but not with the matrix protease inhibitor Ro28-2653. The increased invasiveness of tumorigenic cen3tel cells was associated with a reduced expression of RhoE, a cellular inhibitor of ROCK. Ectopic RhoE expression decreased cen3tel invasion capability. These results point to RhoE and ROCK as regulators of invasiveness of mesenchymal tumor cells and indicate ROCK as a possible therapeutic target.

These results point to RhoE and ROCK as regulators of invasiveness of mesenchymal tumor cells and indicate ROCK as a possible therapeutic target. The cen3tel telomerase immortalized cell line was obtained from primary cen3 fibroblasts, derived from a centenarian individual, by infection with an hTERT-containing retrovirus (Mondello et al., 2003). Cen3tel cells were used at different steps of propagation, reflecting different phases of transformation (Zongaro et al., 2005) to study variations in the migratory and invasive potential accompanying human fibroblast neoplastic transformation.

Project description:Plakophilin 4 (PKP4) is a component of cell-cell junctions that regulates intercellular adhesion and Rho-signaling during cytokinesis with an unknown function during epidermal differentiation. Here we show that keratinocytes lacking PKP4 fail to develop a cortical actin ring, preventing adherens junction maturation and generation of tissue tension. Instead, PKP4-depleted cells display increased stress fibers. PKP4-dependent RhoA localization at AJs is required to activate a RhoA-ROCK2-MLCK-MLC2 axis and organize actin into a cortical ring. AJ-associated PKP4 provided a scaffold for the Rho activator ARHGEF2 and the RhoA effectors MLCK and MLC2, facilitating the spatio-temporal activation of RhoA signaling at cell junctions to allow cortical ring formation and actomyosin contraction. In contrast, association of PKP4 with the Rho suppressor ARHGAP23 reduced ARHGAP23 binding to RhoA which prevented RhoA activation in the cytoplasm and stress fiber formation. These data identify PKP4 as an AJ component that transduces mechanical signals into cytoskeletal organization.

Project description:Pseudoenzymes, catalytically deficient variants of active enzymes, have a wide range of regulatory functions. ADP-ribosylhydrolase like-1 (ADPRHL1), which belongs to a small group of ADP-ribosylhydrolase enzymes, lacks the amino acid residues required for catalytic activity, and is therefore considered a pseudoenzyme. Here, to investigate the role of ADPRHL1 in the heart, we established, for the first time, an in vitro ADPRHL1 knockout human myocardial cell culture model. These ADPRHL1 knockout cardiomyocytes adhered abnormally. However, the lack of ADPRHL1 disrupted the formation of focal adhesions in these cardiomyocytes by excessively upregulating the ROCK–myosin II pathway. Inhibitors of ROCK and myosin II effectively restored the focal adhesions in these ADPRHL1-deficient cardiomyocytes and improved electrical conduction and calcium activity. Our findings reveal that ADPRHL1 plays a major role in cardiac function by regulating the ROCK pathway, suggesting that it may serve as a potential drug target for the treatment of ADPRHL1-related diseases.

Project description:Cytoskeletal tension is an intracellular mechanism through which cells convert a mechanical signal into a biochemical response, including production of cytokines and activation of various signaling pathways. Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) were allowed to spread into large cells by seeding them at a low-density (1,250 cells/cm2), which was observed to induce osteogenesis. Conversely, ASCs seeded at a high-density (25,000 cells/cm2) featured small cells that promoted adipogenesis. RhoA and actin filaments were altered by changes in cell size. Blocking actin polymerization by Cytochalasin D influenced cytoskeletal tension and differentiation of ASCs. To understand the potential regulatory mechanisms leading to actin cytoskeletal tension, cDNA microarray was performed on large and small ASCs. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was identified as a major regulator of osteogenesis associated with RhoA mediated cytoskeletal tension. Subsequently, knock-down of CTGF by siRNA in ASCs inhibited this osteogenesis. Therefore, we conclude that cytoskeletal tension is important for CTGF-regulated ASC osteogenic differentiation.

Project description:In this study, we use the epidermis as a model system to elucidate the cellular effects and signaling feedback sequelae of mTORC1 loss-of-function in epithelial tissue. In mice with conditional epidermal loss of mTORC1 components Rheb or Rptor, we find that mTORC1 loss-of-function unexpectedly results in a profound skin barrier defect with epidermal abrasions, blistering and early postnatal lethality, due to a thinned epidermis with decreased desmosome expression and incomplete biochemical differentiation. Impaired cell-cell adhesion in the context of mTORC1 loss-of-function is caused by constitutive activation of Rho kinase (ROCK) signaling with increased cytoskeletal tension, and inhibition or silencing of ROCK1 is sufficient to rescue keratinocyte adhesion and biochemical differentiation. mTORC1 loss-of-function results in marked feedback up-regulation of upstream TGF-β signaling, triggering ROCK activity and its downstream effects on desmosomal gene expression. These findings elucidate a novel role for mTORC1 in the regulation of epithelial barrier formation, cytoskeletal tension and cell adhesion and underscore the complexity of signaling feedback after mTORC1 inhibition

Project description:Prior studies have implicated myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in the regulation of aqua-porin-2 (AQP2) in the renal collecting duct. To discover signaling targets of MLCK, we deleted the Mylk- gene to obtain MLCK-null mpkCCD cells and carried out comprehensive phosphopro-teomics using the SILAC method for quantification. Only 107 phosphopeptides were changed in abundance by MLCK deletion out of 1743 quantified over multiple replicates (29 decreased and 78 increased). One of the decreased phosphopeptides corresponded to the canonical target site in myosin regulatory light chain (MLC). Network analysis indicated that targeted phosphopro-teins clustered into distinct structural/functional groups: “acto-myosin,” “signaling,” “nuclear envelope,” “gene transcription,” “mRNA processing,” “energy metabolism,” “intermediate fila-ments,” “adherens junctions” and “tight junctions.” There was significant overlap between the derived MLCK signaling network and a previously determined PKA signaling network. Phalloidin labeling revealed that MLCK deletion inhibited the normal effect of vasopressin to depolymer-ize F-actin. Immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy demonstrated a defect in pro-cessing of early endosomes to late endosomes. In contrast, surface biotinylation studies showed no effect of MLCK deletion on AQP2 endocytosis. We conclude that MLCK is part of a multi-component signaling pathway that includes much more than simple regulation of conven-tional non-muscle myosins through MLC phosphorylation. Furthermore, vasopressin signaling in collecting duct cells involves both MLCK-dependent signaling and PKA-dependent signaling, which display significant overlap. Mapping MLCK targets revealed potential roles in both nu-cleus and cytoplasm. The latter includes proteins that regulate both actin polymerization and AQP2-endosomal processing from early to late endosomes.
