Project description:Genetic variations in ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2) have been associated with inherited and age-related forms of cataract in humans. Here we have characterized the eye lens phenotype and transcript profile of germline Epha2 knock-in mutant mice homozygous for either a missense variant associated with age-related cataract in humans (Epha2-Q722) or a novel insertion-deletion mutation (Epha2-indel722) that were both located within the tyrosine-kinase domain of EPHA2. Whole-mount confocal imaging of clear lenses from Epha2-indel722 mice on a fluorescent reporter background revealed misalignment of epithelial-to-fiber cell meridional-rows at the lens equator and severe disturbance of Y-suture formation at the lens poles, whereas, Epha2-Q722 lenses displayed mild disturbance of posterior sutures. Immunofluorescent labeling showed that EPHA2 was mostly localized to lens fiber cell membranes with some sub-membrane localization observed in Epha2-Q722 lenses and diffuse membrane and perinuclear localization in Epha2-indel722 lenses. Immunoprecipitation/blotting studies indicated that EPHA2 formed strong complexes with Src kinase but not with catenin beta 1 or cadherin 2 and was mostly serine phosphorylated in the lens. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed differential expression of several cytoskeleton-associated genes in Epha2-mutant and Epha2-null lenses including strong downregulation of Lgsn and Clic5. Collectively, our data suggest that mutations within the tyrosine-kinase domain of EPHA2 result in lens cell patterning defects and dysregulated expression of several cytoskeletal proteins.

Project description:Purpose: To understand the relationship between ciliogenesis and autophagy in the corneal epithelium. Methods: siRNAs for EphA2 or PLD1 were used to inhibit protein expression in vitro. Morpholino-anti-EphA2 was used to knockdown EphA2 in Xenopus skin. An EphA2 knockout mouse was used to conduct loss of function studies. Autophagic vacuoles were visualized by contrast light microscopy. Autophagy flux, was measured by LC3 turnover and p62 protein levels. Immunostaining and confocal microscopy were conducted to visualize cilia in cultured cells and in vivo. Results: Loss of EphA2 (i) increased corneal epithelial thickness by elevating proliferative potential in wing cells, (ii) reduced the number of ciliated cells, (iii) increased large hollow vacuoles, that could be rescued by BafA1; (iv) inhibited autophagy flux and (v) increased GFP-LC3 puncta in the mouse corneal epithelium. This indicated a role for EphA2 in stratified epithelial assembly via regulation of proliferation as well as a positive role in both ciliogenesis and end-stage autophagy. Inhibition of PLD1, an EphA2 interacting protein that is a critical regulator of end-stage autophagy, reversed the accumulation of vacuoles, and the reduction in the number of ciliated cells due to EphA2 depletion, suggesting EphA2 regulation of both end-stage autophagy and ciliogenesis via PLD1. PLD1 mediated rescue of ciliogenesis by EphA2 depletion was blocked by BafA1, placing autophagy between EphA2 signaling and regulation of ciliogenesis. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate a novel role for EphA2 in regulating both autophagy and ciliogenesis, processes that are essential for proper corneal epithelial homeostasis.

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (ES) is the second most common bone malignancy affecting children and young adults with poor prognosis due to high metastasis incidence. Our group previously described that EphA2, a tyrosine kinase receptor, promotes angiogenesis in ES cells via ligand-dependent signaling. EphA2 ligand-independent activity, controlled upon phosphorylation at S897 (p-EphA2S897), has been linked to metastasis in several malignancies. Here, we stablish a correlation between ES cells aggressiveness and p-EphA2S897. Moreover, stable overexpression of EphA2 in low EphA2 expression ES cells enhanced proliferation and migration, but not a nonphosphorylable mutant (S987A). Consistently, silencing of EphA2 reduced tumorigenicity, migration and invasion in vitro, and lung metastasis incidence in experimental and spontaneous metastasis assays in vivo. A gene expression microarray revealed the implication of EphA2 in cell signaling, cellular movement and survival. Altogether, our results suggest that p-EphA2S897 correlates with aggressiveness in ES, so blocking its function may be a promising treatment.

Project description:Objective We have previously shown that expression of the CEACAM1 long isoform (CC1-L) in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) cells results in significant inhibition of liver metastasis via Chemokine (C-C motif) Ligand 2 (CCL2) and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling. Yet, despite recent advances in identifying molecules involved in the CC1-L inhibition of metastasis, much remains to be elucidated regarding the molecular mechanisms orchestrating this pathway. Design We performed an untargeted transcript profiling and a phosphokinase screen between CC1-L-expressing and non-expressing (CT) CRC cells. Identified targets were validated in vitro and in vivo for their involvement in signaling and invasion or metastasis. We validated our conclusions in CRC patient cohorts for time to metastasis development and long-term survival. Results Untargeted transcript profiling revealed high Decorin (Dcn) expression in CC1-L-expressing cells versus CT cells. Decorin was detected at the peri-endothelial layers of large blood vessels and in liver stellate cells. In metastatic lesions, it was expressed in pericyte-like cells covering capillary endothelium. Phosphokinase differential screening revealed reduced Ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2) expression and activity in CC1-L- versus CT-expressing cells. Treatment of CT cells with recombinant Dcn led to decreased migration and invasion and decreased EphA2-mediated Erk and Akt signaling. CRC patients exhibiting high CC1 and DCN expression, in combination with low EPHA2 expression, benefit from longer 10-year survival than those with high EPHA2 expression. Conclusion CC1-L expression in poorly differentiated CRC inhibits liver metastasis through increased Decorin expression and EphA2-mediated signaling. Quadriplicate samples of each mouse colon cancer cell lines (control cells versus those expressing either short or long isoform of CEACAM1) have been used for RNA extraction

Project description:Cellular senescence prevents the proliferation of cells at risk for neoplastic transformation. However, the altered secretome of senescent cells can promote the growth of the surrounding cancer cells. Although extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as new players in intercellular communication, their role in the function of senescent cell secretome has been largely unexplored. Here, we show that exosome-like small EVs (sEVs) are important mediators of the pro-tumorigenic function of senescent cells. sEV-associated EphA2 secreted from senescent cells binds to ephrin-A1 that is highly expressed in several types of cancer cells and promotes cell proliferation through EphA2/ephrin-A1 reverse signalling. sEV sorting of EphA2 is increased in senescent cells due to its enhanced phosphorylation resulting from oxidative inactivation of PTP1B phosphatase. Our results demonstrate a novel mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-regulated cargo sorting into sEVs, which is critical for the potentially deleterious growth-promoting effect of the senescent cell secretome.
