Project description:The elevated expression of the splicing regulator SRSF10 in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) stimulates the production of the pro-tumorigenic Bclaf1-L splice variant. We discovered a group of small molecules with an aminothiazole carboxamide core (GPS167, GPS192 and others) that decrease production of Bclaf1-L. While additional alternative splicing events regulated by SRSF10 are affected by GPS167/192 in HCT116 cells (e.g., in MDM4, WTAP, SLK1 and CLK1), other events are shifted in a SRSF10-independent manner (e.g., in MDM2, NAB2 and TRA2A). GPS167/192 increased the interaction of SRSF10 with the CLK1 and CLK4 kinases, leading us to show that GPS167/192 are CLK kinase inhibitors preferentially impacting the activity of SRSF10. Notably, GPS167 impairs the growth of CRC cell lines and organoids, inhibits anchorage-independent colony formation, cell migration, and promotes cytoxicity that requires SRSF10 and p53. In contrast, GPS167 only minimally affects normal colonocytes and normal colorectal organoids. Thus, GPS167 reprograms the tumorigenic activity of SRSF10 in CRC cells to elicit p53-dependent apoptosis.

Notably, GPS167 impaired the growth of colorectal cancer cell lines and organoids, inhibited anchorage-independent colony formation, cell migration and promoted cytoxicity that required SRSF10 and p53. The anti-cancer potential of this new class of CLK kinase inhibitors is further supported by the observation that GPS167 only minimally affected normal colonocytes and normal colorectal organoids. Thus, while SRSF10 promotes tumorigenesis, DNA damage promoted by GPS167 redirects SRSF10 activity towards cell death in a p53-dependent manner.

Project description:Background: circRNAs, a recently identified new member of non-coding RNAs, have been proved to play an essential role in the development and progression of various cancers. However, the functions and mechanisms of circRNAs in colorectal liver metastasis have not been fully elucidated. Methods: We performed circRNA microarray to screen differentially expressed novel circRNAs in the pathology of colorectal liver metastasis. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the circ102049 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) samples. Then CRC cells were transfected with a circ102049 over-expression vector or siRNAs, and the effects of circ102049 on biological functions in CRC cells were accessed in vitro. Mechanistically, the bioinformatics analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, RIP assay, RNA pull down assay and luciferase reporter assay were conducted to confirm the relationships among circ102049, miR-761, miR-192-3p and FRAS1. Moreover, the mechanism of circ102049 how to recruit and distribute DGCR8 protein in cytoplasm was elucidated. Results: The results showed that circ102049 was highly expressed in primary CRC tumors with liver metastasis and closely correlated with the CRC patients' prognosis. Circ102049 might act as a novel metastasis-related non-coding RNA, and significantly promote the adhesion, migration and invasion abilities of CRC cells. Mechanistically, we verified that circ102049 promoted the CRC development and progression via a miR-761/miR-192-3p-FRAS1-dependent mechanism. Notably, due to the distribution of DGCR8 protein, circ102049 might also reduce the mature products of miR-761 and miR-192-3p in cytoplasm indirectly. In addition, the role of circ102049 in promoting colorectal liver metastasis was also confirmed in vivo. Conclusions: Our findings provided new clues that circ102049 might be a potential prognostic factor in CRC, and the circ102049-miR-761/miR-192-3p-FRAS1 axis could be further explored as a therapeutic target for anti-metastatic therapy in CRC patients with liver metastases.

Project description:The N-Myc Downstream-Regulated Gene 4 (NDRG4), a prominent biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC), is specifically expressed by enteric neurons. Considering that nerves are important members of the tumor microenvironment, we here establish different Ndrg4 knockout (Ndrg4-/-) CRC models and an in-direct co-culture of primary enteric nervous system (ENS) cells and intestinal organoids to identify whether the ENS, via NDRG4, affects intestinal tumorigenesis. Linking immunostainings and gastrointestinal motility (GI) assays, we show that absence of Ndrg4 does not trigger any functional or morphological GI-abnormalities. However, combining in vivo, in vitro and quantitative proteomics data, we uncover that Ndrg4 knockdown is associated with enlarged intestinal adenoma development and that organoid growth is boosted by the Ndrg4-/- ENS cell secretome, which is enriched for Nidogen-1 (Nid1) and Fibulin-2 (Fbln2). Moreover, NID1 and FBLN2 are expressed in enteric neurons, enhance tumorigenic capacities of CRC cells and are enriched in human CRC secretomes. Hence, we provide evidence that the ENS, via loss of Ndrg4, is involved in colorectal pathogenesis and that ENS-derived Nidogen-1 and Fibulin-2 enhance colorectal carcinogenesis.

Project description:Bcl-2-accociated transcription factor 1(BCLAF1) has been shown to be involved in multiple biological processes. Transcript variants encoding different isoforms that are generated by alternative splicing have been found for this gene, but little is known about the mechanisms governing its splicing regulation and whether the misregulation is associated with cancer development. Mechanistic analysis revealed that splicing factor SRSF10 specifically interacts with exon5a and activates its inclusion, as RNAi-mediated knockdown of SRSF10 induced a dramatic skipping of exon5a. To define a comprehensive programm of alternative splicing that is regulated by SRSF10 in RKO cells, we used RNA-seq coupled with a bioinformatic analysis to identify the extensive splicing network regulated by SRSF10 in RKO cells.

Project description:Inflammation is involved in both initiation and promotion of colorectal cancer (CRC), and patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBC) have increased risk of developing CRC. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a cytokine secreted by e.g. macrophages, and this signaling is deregulated in IBD and CRC. TNFα activates the pro-survival transcription factor complex NFκB, which is composed of several subunits including p65 (RELA). We recently characterized the genome-wide transcriptional impact by TNFα in two CRC cell lines, but how p65 binds the chromatin, its cistrome, in colorectal cancer cells has not been explored. We here used p65 chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq) in HT29 and SW480 cells, and correlated with the transcriptomic impact of TNFα. Further, estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic effects in colon cells and interacts with NFκB main targets. We have shown that ERβ impacts TNFα signaling in CRC cells and ERβ impacts the P65 cistrome.

Project description:In Rspondin-based 3D cultures, Lgr5 stem cells from multiple organs form ever-expanding epithelial organoids that retain their tissue identity. We report the establishment of tumor organoid cultures from 20 consecutive colorectal (CRC) patients. For most, organoids were also generated from adjacent normal tissue. The organoids closely resemble the original tumor. The spectrum of genetic changes observed within the 'living biobank' agrees well with previous large-scale mutational analyses of CRC. Gene expression analysis indicates that the major CRC molecular subtypes are represented. Tumor organoids are amenable to robotized, high-throughput drug screens allowing detection of gene-drug associations. As an example, a single organoid culture was exquisitely sensitive to Wnt secretion (porcupine) inhibitors and carried a mutation in the negative Wnt feedback regulator RNF43 (rather than in APC). Organoid technology may fill the gap between cancer genetics and patient trials, complement cell line- and xenograft-based drug studies and allow personalized therapy design. We generated organoids from healthy tissue and coloncarcinoma tissue. The organoids were trypsinized, plated in matrigel and overlaid with medium. After three days, RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNAeasy. Medium conditions are the same for all organoids, irrespective of their origin.
