Roles of voltage-gated potassium channels in the maintenance of pancreatic cancer stem cells

ABSTRACT: The targeting of membrane proteins that are activated in cancer stem cells (CSCs) represents one of the key strategies in novel cancer therapy. The present study investigated ion channel expression profiles and functions in pancreatic CSCs (PCSCs). Cells strongly expressing aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 (ALDH1A1) were separated from PK59 cells, a human pancreatic cancer cell line, using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and PCSCs were identified based on tumorsphere formation. A microarray analysis was performed to investigate gene expression profiles in PCSCs. ALDH1A1 messenger RNA levels were higher in PCSCs. PCSCs were resistant to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and capable of re-differentiation. The microarray analysis revealed that gene expression related to ion channels, including voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv), was up-regulated. 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP), a potent Kv inhibitor, exhibited greater cytotoxicity in PCSCs. In a xenograft model in nude mice, tumor volumes were significantly smaller in mice injected with PK59 cells treated with 4-AP than in those injected with non-treated cells. The present results implicate Kv in the persistence of PCSCs, and the Kv inhibitor, 4-AP, has potential as a therapeutic agent for pancreatic carcinoma.

Severe deficiency of voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.2 elevates neuronal excitability in adult mice

Project description:Scn2a encodes voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.2, a main mediator of neuronal action potential firing. The current paradigm suggests that NaV1.2 gain-of-function variants enhance neuronal excitability resulting in epilepsy, whereas NaV1.2 deficiency impairs excitability contributing to autism. This paradigm, however, does not explain why 20~30% of patients with NaV1.2 deficiency still develop seizures. Here we report a counterintuitive finding that severe NaV1.2 deficiency results in increased neuronal excitability. Using a unique NaV1.2-deficient mouse model, we found enhanced intrinsic excitabilities of principal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and striatum, brain regions known to be involved in Scn2a-related seizures. This increased excitability is autonomous, and is reversible by the genetic restoration of Scn2a expression in adult mice. RNA-sequencing revealed that the downregulation of multiple potassium channels including KV1.1, and KV channel openers alleviated hyperexcitability of NaV1.2-deficient neurons. This unexpected neuronal hyperexcitability may serve as a cellular basis underlying NaV1.2 deficiency-related seizures.

Integrated lipidomics and proteomics reveal cardiolipin remodelling by upregulation of HADHA and indirectly by ELOVL5 in pancreatic cancer stem cells

Project description:Pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs) characterize the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) and play a key role in driving their poor outcomes and resistance to targeted therapies. Although advanced proteomics and lipidomics technology facilitates quantitation of intracellular proteins and lipids, little is known about the regulation of signalling and metabolic pathways in PCSCs. Here we shown that PCSCs, derived from different PDAC cell lines, have specific and common proteome and lipidome modulations. PCSCs displayed down-regulation of L-lactate dehydrogenase A chain (LDHA) and, more interestingly, upregulation of trifunctional enzyme subunit alpha (HADHA) which is involved in cardiolipin remodelling. The upregulated proteins of PCSCs were mainly involved in fatty acid (FA) elongation and biosynthesis of unsaturated FAs. Accordingly, lipidomics revealed a general increase of FAs 18:1, 20:2, 20:3, and 20:4, which are products of the catalytic activity of fatty acid elongase-5 (ELOVL5) predicted as common active gene of PCSCs. Moreover, in accordance with HADHA upregulation, lipidomics also showed the induction in PCSCs of molecular species of cardiolipin with mixed incorporation of 16:0, 18:1, and 18:2 acyl chains. Our data indicate a crucial role of fatty acid elongation and cardiolipin remodelling in PCSCs, which could therefore represent attractive targets to improve the therapeutic treatments of PDAC

Targeting an RNA polymerase II-associated PHF5A protein subcomplex with a KMT2A-WDR5 inhibitor impairs self-renewal and tumorigenicity of pancreatic cancer stem cells

Project description:Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the most aggressive and life-threatening malignancies known for its notorious resistance to chemotherapy. This is increasingly ascribed to the subpopulation of undifferentiated cells, known as pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs), which are evolutionary fitter than other tumor cells to evade the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy. Those cells are crucial for tumor relapse as they possess ‘stem cell-like’ features of self-renewal and differentiation. However, what molecular mechanisms maintain the unique characteristics of PCSCs are poorly understood. Here, we identified an RNA polymerase II-associated PHF5A-PHF14-HMG20A-RAI1-KMT2A transcriptional subcomplex, which regulates the stemness characteristics and tumorigenicity of PCSCs through epigenetic control of gene expression. Targeting the protein subcomplex with a KMT2A-WDR5 inhibitor attenuated the self-renewal and in vivo tumorigenicity of PCSCs, thus offering a novel anti-PCSCs targeting strategy for enhancing the efficiency of chemotherapy which is likely to translate into durable clinical responses in PC patients.

HNF1A is a Novel Oncogene and Central Regulator of Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The biological properties of pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs) remain incompletely defined and the central regulators are unknown. By bioinformatic analysis of a PCSC-enriched gene signature, we identified the transcription factor HNF1A as a putative central regulator of PCSC function. Levels of HNF1A and its target genes were found to be elevated in PCSCs and tumorspheres, and depletion of HNF1A resulted in growth inhibition, apoptosis, impaired tumorsphere formation, PCSC depletion, and downregulation of OCT4 expression. Conversely, HNF1A overexpression increased PCSC numbers and tumorsphere formation in pancreatic cancer cells and drove PDA cell growth. Importantly, depletion of HNF1A in primary tumor xenografts impaired tumor growth and depleted PCSCs in vivo. Finally, we established an HNF1A-dependent gene signature in PDA cells that significantly correlated with reduced survivability in patients. These findings identify HNF1A as a central transcriptional regulator of the PCSC state and novel oncogene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

miRNA-seq in healthy human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

Project description:Abnormalities of ventricular action potential (AP) cause malignant cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Here, we sought to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that regulate the human cardiac AP and asked whether their manipulation allows for therapeutic modulation of AP abnormalities. Quantitative analysis of the miRNA targetomes in human cardiac myocytes identified miR-365 as a primary miRNA to regulate repolarizing ion channels. AP recordings in patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (iPSC-CMs) showed that elevation of miR-365 level significantly prolonged AP duration in hiPSC-CMs derived from a Short-QT syndrome (SQTS) patient, whereas specific inhibition of miR-365 normalized pathologically prolonged AP in Long-QT syndrome (LQTS) iPSC-CMs. Transcriptome analyses in human iPSC-CMs at bulk and single-cell level corroborated the key cardiac repolarizing channels as direct targets of miR-365, together with functionally synergistic regulation of additional AP-regulating genes by this miRNA. Whole-cell patch clamp experiments revealed miR-365-based regulation of repolarizing ionic currents. Finally, refractory period measurements in human myocardial slices substantiated the prolonging effect of miR-365 on AP duration also in adult human myocardial tissue. Our results delineate miR-365 to regulate human cardiac AP duration by targeting key factors of cardiac repolarization.

RNAseq quantitative analysis of ion channel mRNA expression in microbead occlusion model

Project description:The purpose of this study was to utilize RNAseq to determine if there are changes in ion channel mRNA expression in the retina of C57BL/6 mice subjected to the Microbead Occlusion Model. Whole retina was isolated from 2 month old mice that received intracameral injections of either saline or 15-um-diameter microbeads. Total RNA was isolated from the retinas and subjected to RNA sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. Fold change in mRNA expression was compared between saline- and microbead-injected samples. We then analyzed these data for changes in expression of potassium channels, such as tandem-pore domain K+ channels, inwardly rectifying K+ channels, and the Na+/K+-ATPase.

Rat Brain LC-MS/MS - Quantitative Proteomics Reveals Protein-Protein Interactions with Fibroblast Growth Factor12 as a Component of the Nav1

Project description:Voltage-gated sodium channels are responsible for the initiation and propagation of action potentials in excitable cells. While the channel is functional on its own, it is the transient and stable protein-protein interactions that modulate functional outcomes. AP-MS has been successfully applied to a number of ion channels. However to the best of our knowledge, no AP-MS study has been carried out on any member of the voltage-gated sodium channel family.
