Transcriptomic profiling identifies unique and shared functions of oncogenic KRAS and RIT1

ABSTRACT: Aberrant activation of RAS oncogenes is a prevalent event in lung adenocarcinoma, with somatic mutation of KRAS occurring in ~30% of tumors. Recently, we identified somatic mutation of the RAS-family GTPase RIT1 in lung adenocarcinoma, but relatively little is known about the biological pathways regulated by RIT1 and how these relate to the oncogenic KRAS network. Here we present (quantitative proteomic and) transcriptomic profiles from KRAS-mutant and RIT1-mutant isogenic lung epithelial cells and globally characterize the signaling networks regulated by each oncogene.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and adenocarcinoma is its most common histological subtype. Clinical and molecular evidence indicates that lung adenocarcinoma is a heterogeneous disease, which has important implications for treatment. Here we performed genome-scale DNA methylation profiling using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 platform on 59 matched lung adenocarcinoma/non-tumor lung samples, with genome-scale verification on an independent set of tissues. We identified 766 genes showing altered DNA methylation between tumors and non-tumor lung. By integrating DNA methylation and mRNA expression data, we identified 164 hypermethylated genes showing concurrent downregulation, and 57 hypomethylated genes showing increased expression. Integrated pathways analysis indicates that these genes are involved in cell differentiation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, RAS and WNT signaling pathways and cell cycle regulation, among others. Comparison of DNA methylation profiles between lung adenocarcinomas of current and never-smokers showed modest differences, identifying only LGALS4 as significantly hypermethylated and downregulated in smokers. LGALS4, encoding a galactoside-binding protein involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, was recently shown to be a tumor-suppressor in colorectal cancer. Unsupervised analysis of the DNA methylation data identified two tumor subgroups, one of which showed increased DNA methylation and was significantly associated with KRAS mutation and to a lesser extent, with smoking. Our analysis lays the groundwork for further molecular studies of lung adenocarcinoma by providing new candidate DNA methylation biomarkers for early detection, identifying novel molecular alterations potentially involved in lung adenocarcinoma development/progression, and describing an epigenetic subgroup of lung adenocarcinoma associated with KRAS mutation. 59 lung adenocarcinoma and 59 adjacent non-tumor lung tissue were macrodissected, bisulfite treated and analyzed on the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27K BeadChip
