Project description:Interleukin 17 (IL-17) producing T helper 17 (Th17) cells are critical drivers of pathogenesis in a variety of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Strategies to mitigate excessive Th17 response thus remain an attractive target for immunotherapies. Here we report that Cancerous Inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) regulates IL-17 production by Th17 cells in human and mouse. Using CIP2A knock-out (KO) mice and siRNA-mediated CIP2A silencing in human primary CD4+ T cells, we demonstrated that CIP2A silencing results in a significant increase in IL-17 production. Interestingly, CIP2A deficient Th17 cells were characterized by increased strength and duration of STAT3 (Y705) phosphorylation. Genome-wide gene expression profile as well as the p-STAT3 (Y705) interactome of CIP2A deficient Th17 cells identified that CIP2A regulates the strength of the interaction between Acylglycerol kinase (AGK) and STAT3, and thereby, modulates STAT3 phosphorylation as well as expression of IL-17 in Th17 cells. Our results uncover the physiological function of CIP2A in Th17 cells and provides new opportunities for therapeutic intervention in Th17 cell mediated diseases.

Project description:Cancerous Inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) is an oncogene and a potential cancer therapy target protein. Accordingly, a better understanding of the physiological function of CIP2A, especially in the context of immune cells, is a prerequisite for its exploitation in cancer therapy. Here, we report that CIP2A negatively regulates interleukin (IL)-17 production by Th17 cells in human and mouse. Interestingly, concomitant with increased IL-17 production, CIP2A-deficient Th17 cells had increased strength and duration of STAT3 phosphorylation. We analyzed the interactome of phosphorylated STAT3 in CIP2A-deficient and CIP2A-sufficient Th17 cells and indicated together with genome-wide gene expression profiling, a role of Acylglycerol Kinase (AGK) in the regulation of Th17 differentiation by CIP2A. We demonstrated that CIP2A regulates the strength of the interaction between AGK and STAT3, and thereby modulates STAT3 phosphorylation and expression of IL-17 in Th17 cells.

Project description:CIP2A immunoprecipitation (IP) was carried out with two specific anti CIP2A antibodies that recognize distinct regions of CIP2A protein and respective Immunoglobulin G (IgG) were used in control IPs as a negative control. The digested samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS to identify CIP2A protein network.

Project description:Abstract The protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) heterotrimer PP2A-B56 is a human tumor suppressor. However, the molecular mechanisms inhibiting PP2A-B56in cancer are poorly understood. Here, we report molecular level details and structural mechanism of PP2A-B56inhibition by an oncoprotein CIP2A. Upon direct binding to PP2A-B56 trimer, CIP2A replaces PP2A-A subunit and thereby hijacks both the B56 and the catalytic PP2Ac subunit to form a CIP2A-B56-PP2Ac pseudotrimer. Further, CIP2A competes with B56 substrate binding by blocking the LxxIxE-motif substrate binding pocket on B56. Relevant to oncogenic activity of CIP2A across human cancers, the N-terminal head domain-mediated interaction with B56 stabilizes CIP2A protein. Functionally, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated single amino acid mutagenesis of the head domain blunted MYC expression and MEK phosphorylation, and abrogated triple-negative breast cancer in vivo tumor growth. Collectively, we discover a unique multi-step “hijack and mute” mechanism of protein complex regulation inhibiting tumor suppressor PP2A-B56. Further, the results unfold single structural determinant for CIP2A´s oncogenic activity, potentially facilitating therapeutic modulation of CIP2A in cancer and other diseases.

Project description:Phosphatase PP2A expression level is positively correlated to the clinical severity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and IL17A cytokine overproduction, indicating a potential role of PP2A in controlling TH17 differentiation and inflammation. By generating a mouse strain with the ablation of the catalytic subunit α of PP2A in peripheral mature T cells (PP2A cKO), we provide evidence here that PP2A complex is essential in TH17 differentiation. Hence, PP2A cKO mice exhibited a selective reduction of TH17 cell numbers and an attenuated disease severity in an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model. Importantly, PP2A deficiency ablated c-terminal phosphorylation of SMAD2 whereas increased c-terminal phosphorylation of SMAD3. Through direct binding to and regulating the activity of RORγt, the phosphorylational changes of these R-SMADs subsequently reduced Il17a transcription. Finally, PP2A inhibitors recapitulated the phenotype of PP2A cKO mice, i.e., inhibiting TH17 differentiation and protecting mice from EAE. Together, the current study proves that phosphatase PP2A is essential for TH17 differentiation, and inhibition of PP2A could be a possible therapeutic approach for the controlling of TH17-driven autoimmune diseases.

Project description:Identification of ovarian cancer (OvCa) patient subpopulations with increased sensitivity to targeted therapies could offer significant clinical benefit. We report that 22 % of the high grade OvCa tumors at diagnosis express CIP2A oncoprotein at low levels. Further, regardless of their significantly lower likelihood of disease relapse after standard chemotherapy, a portion of relapsed tumors retain their CIP2A-deficient phenotype. Through a screen for therapeutics that would preferentially kill CIP2A-deficient OvCa cells, we identified reactive oxygen species inducer APR-246, tested previously in OvCa clinical trials. Consistent with CIP2A-deficient OvCa subtype in humans, CIP2A is dispensable for development of MISIIR-Tag-driven mouse OvCa tumors. Nevertheless, CIP2A null OvCa tumor cells from MISIIR-Tag mice displayed APR-246 hypersensitivity both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the lack of CIP2A expression hypersensitizes the OvCa cells to APR-246 by inhibition of NF-kB activity. Accordingly, combination of APR-246 and NF-kB inhibitor compounds strongly synergized in killing of CIP2A positive OvCa cells. Collectively, the results warrant consideration of clinical testing of APR-246 for CIP2A-deficient OvCa tumor subtype patients. Results also reveal CIP2A as a candidate APR-246 combination therapy target for ovarian cancer.

Project description:Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) is involved in immune response, cancer progression, and Alzheimer's disease. However, an understanding of the mechanistic basis of its function in this wide spectrum of physiological and pathological processes is limited due to its poorly characterized interaction networks. Here we present the first systematic characterization of the CIP2A interactome by affinity-purification mass spectrometry combined with validation by selected reaction monitoring targeted mass spectrometry (SRM-MS) analysis in T helper (Th) 17 (Th17) cells. In addition to the known regulatory subunits of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), the catalytic subunits of protein PP2A were found to be interacting with CIP2A. Furthermore, the regulatory (PPP1R18, and PPP1R12A) and catalytic (PPP1CA) subunits of phosphatase PP1 were identified among the top novel CIP2A interactors. Evaluation of the ontologies associated with the proteins in this interactome revealed that they were linked with RNA metabolic processing and splicing, protein traffic, cytoskeleton regulation and ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation processes. Taken together, this network of protein-protein interactions will be important for understanding and further exploring the biological processes and mechanisms regulated by CIP2A both in physiological and pathological conditions.

Project description:The purpose is to study the transcriptional changes in basal like breast cancer cell line HCC38 on depletion of CIP2A. We have used 3 unique siRNA sequences of CIP2A and 3 control samples (Mock and 2 unique non-targeting sequences) for the RNA Seq. We identified differentially expressed genes in CIP2A knockdown conditions compared to the control samples and identified pathways regulated by CIP2A in this cell line using GSEA.
