Project description:MDM2 proto‑oncogene, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (MDM2) is a well‑known oncogene and has been reported to be closely associated with epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). The present study first demonstrated that the expression levels of MDM2 were markedly increased in TGF‑β‑induced EMT using quantitative PCR and western blotting. In addition, MDM2 was demonstrated to be associated with pathological grade in clinical glioma samples by immunohistochemical staining. Furthermore, overexpression of MDM2 promoted EMT in glioma, lung cancer and breast cancer cell lines using a scratch wound migration assay. Subsequently, the present study explored the mechanism by which MDM2 promoted EMT and revealed that MDM2 induced EMT by upregulating EMT‑related transcription factors via activation of the B‑Raf signaling pathway through tyrosine 3‑monooxygenase activation protein ε using RNA sequencing and western blotting. This mechanism depended on the p53 gene. Furthermore, in vivo experiments and the colony formation experiment demonstrated that MDM2 could promote tumor progression and induce EMT via the B‑Raf signaling pathway. Since EMT contributes to increased drug resistance in tumor cells, the present study also explored the relationship between MDM2 and drug sensitivity using an MTT assay, and identified that MDM2 promoted cell insensitivity to silibinin treatment in an EMT‑dependent manner. This finding is crucial for the development of cancer therapies and can also provide novel research avenues for future biological and clinical studies.

Project description:CDK4 inhibitors have reached clinical approval for cancer therapy. In parallel, the p53 antagonist Mdm2 remains an attractive target for anti-cancer therapy, including numerous clinical studies. The genes encoding Mdm2 and CDK4 are frequently co-amplified in human malignancies, most notably in liposarcomas, suggesting their combined targeting for therapy. Here we show, however, that small compounds that inhibit Mdm2 and CDK4 antagonize each other rather than synergize in their cytotoxicity towards sarcoma cells. CDK4 inhibition attenuates the induction of p53-responsive genes upon Mdm2 inhibition, and similar results were obtained when depleting Mdm2 and/or CDK4 with siRNA. CDK4 inhibitors also interfered with p53 activity in response to DNA damage. CDK4 inhibition did not reduce p53 binding or histone acetylation to promoters, but rather attenuated the subsequent recruitment of RNA polymerase II. The complexes of p53 and Mdm2, as well as CDK4 and Cyclin D1, physically associated with each other. Upon combined inhibition of Mdm2 and CDK4/6, the interaction of this complex was impaired. Thus, the CDK4-Cyclin D1 complex plays a key role in enabling the transcription of p53 target genes. Taken together, our results raise caution regarding the combination of CDK4 inhibitors with Mdm2 antagonists or conventional DNA-damaging chemotherapeutics in the clinics. Moreover, they suggest a hitherto unknown role for CDK4-cyclin D1 complex in sustaining p53 activity, possibly focusing p53-mediated transcription on actively proliferating cells.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs produced by a non-canonical form of alternative splicing called back-splicing. To investigate a potential role of circRNAs in the p53 pathway, we analyzed RNA-seq data from colorectal cancer cell lines (HCT116, RKO and SW48) in the presence or absence of DNA damage. Surprisingly, unlike the strong p53-dependent induction of hundreds of p53-induced mRNAs, only a few circRNAs were induced from the p53-induced genes. Circ-MDM2, an annotated circRNA from the MDM2 locus, was one of the handful of circRNAs that originated from a p53-induced gene. Given the central role of MDM2 in suppressing p53 protein levels and p53 activity, we investigated the function of circ-MDM2. Knocking down circ-MDM2 with siRNAs that targeted the circ-MDM2 junction and had no effect on linear MDM2 mRNA, resulted in increased basal p53 levels and growth defects in vitro and in vivo. Consistent with these results, transcriptome profiling showed increased expression of several direct p53 targets, reduced Rb phosphorylation and defects in G1-S progression upon silencing circ-MDM2. Our results reveal the role of a novel circRNA by which the MDM2 locus suppresses p53 levels and cell cycle progression.

Project description:The MDM2 oncoprotein is an essential component of the p53 pathway. Although MDM2 has been widely described as a major negative regulator of the p53 tumor suppressor, growing evidences support the notion that Mdm2 functions are also mediated through p53 independent mechanisms. We found that MDM2 is recruited on chromatin. By ChIP-Seq (using MDM2 antibody) of H1299 cells exhibiting MDM2 recruitment on chromatin, we identified at the whole genome level MDM2 binding sites. Both input and IPped-DNA were exhaustively sequenced and mapped on human genome

Project description:MDM2 inhibitor remarkably induced biomineralization in hDPSCs but it remained the problem that p53 activation is insufficient due to MDM2-p53 autoregulatory feedback loop. To overcome the limitation of the MDM2 inhibitors, we applied proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), a technology that degrades a protein of interest (POI) by intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system. Hence, we propose a strategy to induce hard tissue regeneration by MDM2-targeting PROTAC technology. We selected Nutlin-3 of POI ligand among various MDM2 inhibitors based on the screening process, and the selected CRBN of E3 ligase ligand. The MDM2-PROTAC synthesis platform was designed by each ligand combination. By performing the degradation test for selected compounds, we evaluated the characteristics of the developed MDM2 PROTAC such as the maximal degradation concentration (DCmax), the half of maximal degradation concentration (DC50), and half-lifetime. To investigate gene expression profiling of MDM2-targeting small molecules, we conducted RNA-sequencing under MDM2 PROTAC and Nutlin-3 (POI ligand) treated conditions. We not only confirmed a robust effect on biomineralization by MDM2-targeting small molecules but also demonstrated the potent osteogenic differentiation ability of MDM2 PROTAC when compared to an MDM2 inhibitor. MDM2-PROTAC significantly increased mRNA levels of osteogenic differentiation marker genes. Also, the significant bone generation effect of MDM2 PROTAC was validated in an ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis animal model. Through these results, it is expected that a new therapeutic modality for hard tissue regeneration will be possible, and the application range of the PROTAC system can be expanded.

Project description:The intimate association between obesity and type II diabetes urges for a deeper understanding of adipocyte function. We and others have previously delineated a role for the tumor suppressor p53 in adipocyte biology. Here, we show that mice haploinsufficient for MDM2, a key regulator of p53, in their adipose stores suffer from overt obesity, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis. These mice had decreased levels of circulating palmitoleic acid (non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) 16:1) concomitant with impaired visceral adipose tissue expression of Scd1 and Ffar4. A similar decrease in Scd and Ffar4 expression was found in in vitro differentiated adipocytes with perturbed MDM2 expression. Mechanistically, lowered MDM2 levels led to nuclear exclusion of the transcriptional cofactors, MORC2 and LIPIN1, thus hampering adipocyte function by antagonizing LIPIN1-mediated PPARγ coactivation. Collectively, these data argue for a p53-independent role of MDM2 in controlling adipocyte function through LIPIN1.

Project description:Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) are highly aggressive pediatric cancers that respond poorly to current therapies. We screened several MRT cell lines each with large-scale RNAi, CRISPR-Cas9, and small-molecule libraries to identify potential drug targets specific for these cancers. We discovered MDM2 and MDM4, the canonical negative regulators of p53, as significant vulnerabilities. Using two compounds currently in clinical development, idasanutlin and ATSP-7041, we show that MRT cells are more sensitive than other p53 wild-type cancer cell lines to MDM2 and dual MDM2/4 inhibition in vitro. These compounds cause significant upregulation of the p53 pathway in MRT cells, and sensitivity is ablated by CRISPR-Cas9-mediated inactivation of TP53. We show that loss of SMARCB1, a subunit of the SWI/SNF (BAF) complex mutated in nearly all MRT, sensitizes cells to MDM2 and MDM2/4 inhibition by enhancing p53-mediated apoptosis. Both MDM2 and MDM2/4 inhibition slowed MRT xenograft growth in vivo, with a five-day idasanutlin pulse causing marked regression of all xenografts including durable complete responses in 50% of mice. Together, these studies identify a genetic connection between mutations in the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex and the tumor suppressor gene p53, and provide preclinical evidence to support the targeting of MDM2 and MDM4 in this often-fatal pediatric cancer.
