RNA sequencing analysis of Nras mutant MEFs

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Emerging evidence in the field of RAS biology is beginning to illustrate that RAS mutations are functionally distinct. To elucidate functional differences between NRAS mutants we performed RNA-sequencing on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) expressing different NRAS codon 61 variants from the endogenous gene locus Methods: MEFs were isolated from Tyr::CRE-ERT2 LSL-Nras mouse models containing different Nras variants in the endogeous gene locus. NRAS expression was induced in MEFs using an Adenoviral Cre delivery system. RNA was isolated from MEFs six days post-NRAS induction and submitted for RNA-sequencing Results: Differential expression and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) between NRAS variants revealed enrichment of transcripts associated with cellular proliferation between all mutant Nras alleles versus wild-type Nras. Further, MEFs expressing NRAS mutants capable of driving melanoma formation were enriched for transcripts associated with RAS-MYC signaling axis. Conclusion: While all NRAS mutants are capable of enhancing cellular proliferation versus wild-type NRAS, the melanomagenic potential of these mutants correlates with the ability to enhance activation of the RAS-MYC signaling axis

Pharmacological Targeting of Casein Kinase 1δ Suppresses Oncogenic NRAS-Driven Melanoma

Project description:Activating mutations in NRAS account for 15-20% of melanoma, yet effective anti-NRAS therapies are still lacking. In this study, we unveil the casein kinase 1δ (CK1δ) as an uncharacterized regulator of oncogenic NRAS mutations, specifically Q61R and Q61K, which are the most prevalent NRAS mutations in melanoma. The genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of CK1δ markedly destabilizes NRAS mutants and suppresses their oncogenic functions. Moreover, we identify USP46 as a bona fide deubiquitinase of NRAS mutants. Mechanistically, CK1δ directly phosphorylates USP46 and activates its deubiquitinase activity towards NRAS mutants, thus promoting oncogenic NRAS-driven melanocyte malignant transformation and melanoma progression in vitro and in vivo. Our findings underscore the significance of the CK1δ-USP46 axis in stabilizing oncogenic NRAS mutants and provide preclinical evidence that targeting this axis holds promise as a therapeutic strategy for human melanoma harboring NRAS mutations.

Oncogenic potential of RAS isoforms in melanocytes

Project description:We compared the transformation efficiencies of mutant NRAS and KRAS in immortal, non-transformed Ink4a/Arf-deficient melanocytes. NRAS mutation leads to increased cellular proliferation and is potently tumorigenic. In contrast, KRAS mutation does not enhance melanocyte proliferation and is only weakly tumorigenic on its own. While both NRAS and KRAS activate MAPK signaling, only NRAS enhances MYC activity in these cells. Our data suggests that the activity of specific RAS isoforms is context dependent and provides a possible explanation for the prevalence of NRAS mutations in melanoma.In addition, understanding this mechanism will have important implications for cancer therapies targeting RAS pathways.

Novel Conformation Specific Inhibitors of Activated GTPases reveal Ras-dependency of Patient-Derived Cancer Organoids

Project description:The small GTPases H, K, and NRAS are molecular switches that are indispensable for proper regulation of cellular proliferation and growth. Mutations in this family of proteins are associated with cancer and result in aberrant activation of signaling processes caused by a deregulated recruitment of downstream effector proteins. In this study, we engineered novel variants of the Ras-binding domain (RBD) of the kinase CRAF. These variants bound with high affinity to the effector binding site of active Ras. Structural characterization showed how the newly identified mutations cooperate to enhance affinity to the effector binding site compared to RBDwt. The engineered RBD variants closely mimic the interaction mode of naturally occurring Ras effectors and as dominant negative affinity reagent block their activation. Experiments with cancer cells showed that expression of these RBD variants inhibits Ras signaling leading to a reduced growth and inductions of apoptosis. Using the optimized RBD variants, we stratified patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids according to Ras dependency, which showed that the presence of Ras mutations was insufficient to predict sensitivity to Ras inhibition

Integrated Phosphoproteomics and Transcriptional Classifiers Reveal Hidden RAS Signaling Dynamics in Multiple Myeloma

Project description:A major driver of multiple myeloma is thought to be aberrant signaling, yet no kinase inhibitors have proven successful in the clinic. Here, we employ an integrated, systems approach combining phosphoproteomic and transcriptome analysis to dissect cellular signaling in multiple myeloma to inform precision medicine strategies. Collectively, these predictive models identify vulnerable signaling signatures and highlight surprising differences in functional signaling patterns between NRAS and KRAS mutants invisible to the genomic landscape. Transcriptional analysis suggests that aberrant MAPK pathway activation is only present in a fraction of RAS-mutated vs. WT RAS patients. These high-MAPK patients, enriched for NRAS Q61 mutations, have inferior outcomes whereas RAS mutations overall carry no survival impact. We further develop an interactive software tool to relate pharmacologic and genetic kinase dependencies in myeloma. These results may lead to improved stratification of MM patients in clinical trials while also revealing unexplored modes of Ras biology.

Transcriptomic output of endogenous KRasG12D and modestly overexpressed MYC in MEFs

Project description:We sought to compare the transcriptomic output of Kras activation with that of modestly overexpressed cMYC, to better understand the mechanism of oncogenic cooperation. We isolated fibrobalsts from mouse embryos carrying CRE-inducible alleles for KRasG12D (LSL-KRasG12D) and MYC (Rosa26-LSL-MYC), alongside double positive and wild-type control MEFs. All MEFs were infected at early passage with Adeno-CMV-CRE, to induced expression of conditional alleles, where present, and RNA was isolated 24hrs post infection.

Reconstitution of Pluripotency from Mouse Fibroblast through Sall4 Overexpression

Project description:We report that SALL4 alone, under an optimized reprogramming medium iCD4, is capable of reprogramming mouse fibroblasts into iPSCs. To identify SALL4-direct-interacting proteins, we performed immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry (IP-MS) using MEFs overexpressing WT-SALL4 or SALL4 mutants (ΔZFC1, ΔZFC2, ΔZFC3, and ΔN12) at day 1.

AML Relapse After BET Inhibition and Chemotherapy Is Characterized by Myc-Ras Transcriptional Remodeling

Project description:Genome-wide analysis of adult and pediatric acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) revealed distinct mutational profiles characterized by a higher incidence of RAS mutations in young patients. Here we show that the BET inhibitor PLX51107 potently suppresses the growth and promotes apoptosis of NRAS-mutant monocytic AML cell lines, and that these activities are enhanced by co-treatment with the MEK inhibitor PD0325901. Controlled preclinical trials in primary mouse Nras-mutant monocytic AMLs revealed single agent efficacy of PLX51107 that was enhanced by PD0325901. Leukemias that relapsed during treatment developed intrinsic drug resistance characterized by transition to a more primitive state, up-regulation of Myc target genes, and down-regulation of Ras-associated transcriptional programs. AMLs that relapsed after frontline chemotherapy showed similar transcriptional remodeling. These studies demonstrate transcriptional plasticity in primary AMLs that relapse following in vivo treatment with either targeted agents or chemotherapy, and support evaluating BET inhibition in leukemias with monocytic differentiation and RAS mutations.
