Project description:Tumor growth requires elevated ribosome biogenesis. Targeting ribosomes is an important strategy for cancer therapy. The ribosome inhibitor, homoharringtonine (HHT), is used for the clinical treatment of leukemia, yet it is ineffective for the treatment of solid tumors, the reasons for which remain unclear. Here we show that Snail1, a key factor in the regulation of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, plays a pivotal role in cellular surveillance response upon ribotoxic stress. Mechanistically, ribotoxic stress activates the JNK-USP36 signaling to stabilize Snail1 in the nucleolus, which facilitates ribosome biogenesis and tumor cell survival. Furthermore, we show that HHT activates the JNK-USP36-Snail1 axis in solid tumor cells, but not in leukemia cells, resulting in solid tumor cell resistance to HHT. Importantly, a combination of HHT with the inhibition of the JNK-USP36-Snail1 axis synergistically inhibits solid tumor growth. Together, this study provides a rationale for targeting the JNK-USP36-Snail1 axis in ribosome inhibition-based solid tumor therapy.

Project description:Homoharringtonine (HHT), a previously known protein synthesis inhibitor, has anti-myeloid leukemia effect and potentiates the therapeutic efficacy of anthracycline/cytarabine induction regimens for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with favorable and intermediate prognosis, especially in t(8;21) subtype. Here we provide evidence to show that HHT inhibits the activity of leukemia-initiating cells (Lin-/Sca-1-/c-kit+, LICs) in t(8;21) murine leukemia model and exerts down-regulating effect on MYC pathway genes in human t(8;21) leukemia cells (Kasumi-1). By using biochemistry approach, NF-κB-repressing factor (NKRF) was discovered to be bound directly by HHT via the second double-strand RNA binding motif (DSRM2) domain, which is the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of NKRF. A series of deletion and mutagenesis experiments mapped HHT direct binding site to K479 and C480 amino acids in the DSRM2 domain. HHT treatment shifts NKRF from nucleus (including nucleoli) to cytoplasm through occupying the DSRM2 domain, strengthens p65-NKRF interaction, and interferes with the p65-p50 complex formation, thereby attenuating the transactivation activity of p65 on MYC gene. Moreover, HHT significantly decreases the expression of KIT, a frequently mutated and/or highly expressed gene in t(8;21) AML, in consistence with MYC downregulation. Our work has thus identified a mechanism different to, but in concert with, the classical mode of action of HHT and justifies its further clinical exploration in the treatment of AML.

Project description:We previously demonstrated that Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a pivotal mediator of the pro-oncogenic features displayed by glioblastoma (GBM) tumors, the deadliest adult brain malignancies. In GBM, ANXA2 sustains a transcriptional program involved in cell stemness, proliferation and invasion, negatively impacting patient prognosis. Transcriptional signatures obtained by the modulation of ANXA2 activity/levels were functionally mapped through the QUADrATiC bioinformatic tool for compound identification. Selected compounds were screened by cell proliferation and migration assays in primary GBM cells. Screening of compounds selected through QUADrATiC identified HHT as a potent inhibitor of GBM cell motility and proliferation. A further molecular characterization of the effects displayed by HHT, confirmed its ability to inhibit a transcriptional program involved in cell migration and invasion. Moreover, we demonstrated that the multiple antitumoral effects displayed by HHT are correlated to the inhibition of a PDGFRα-dependent intracellular signaling through the impairment of STAT3 and RhoA axes. Homoharringtonine is a potent inhibitor of GBM cell proliferation and migration

Project description:Progeroid syndromes are rare genetic disorders that phenotypically resemble natural aging. Despite identification of causal mutations, mechanisms that generate their clinical manifestations remain elusive. Here, we identified a DNA replication timing (RT) signature that distinguishes progeroid syndromes from normal aging and identifies TP63 gene as a new disease marker. Abnormal TP63 RT appears early during differentiation of progeroid iPSCs and is associated with altered gene variant expression. Our findings demonstrate the utility of RT signatures to identify novel biomarkers not detected by other methods, reveal abnormal TP63 RT as an early event in progeroid disease progression and offer TP63 gene regulation as a potential therapeutic target.

Project description:Skeletal muscle is a post-mitotic tissue that exhibits an extremely low turnover in the absence of disease or injury. At the same time, muscle possesses remarkable regenerative capacity mediated by satellite cells (SCs) that reside in close association with individual myofibers, underneath the fiberM-bM-^@M-^Ys basal lamina. Consistent with the low turnover of the muscle, SCs in adult animals are mitotically quiescent and therefore provide an excellent model to study stem cell quiescence. As an organism grows older, the resident stem cells are exposed to a deteriorating environment and experience chronological aging. In stem cells with high turnover, the effects of chronological aging are superimposed upon the effects of the replicative aging that results from DNA replication and cell division. On the contrary, SCs experience minimal replicative aging due to their low turnover. They are thus a good model to study the consequence of chronological aging of quiescent stem cells. We have developed an isolation protocol to selectively enrich SCs by FACS from adult mice and applied the ChIP-seq technology to obtain H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and H3K36me3 from quiescent and activated SCs from young mice and from quiescent SCs from old mice. Our analysis aims to understand the chromatin features underlying stem cell properties such as quiecence and lineage-potency, and to understand how the chromatin structure of a quiescent stem cell pouplation changes with age. VCAM+/CD31-/CD45-/Sca1- quiescent satellite cells (QSCs) were isolated by FACS from hindlimb muscle of uninjured 2-3- or 22-24-month old mice and processed for ChIP-seq.

Project description:The FOXM1 member of the forkhead family of transcription factors is known for its pleiotropic C-terminus transcriptional and N-terminus non-transcriptional functions in a wide set of biological processes critical for cellular homeostasis. We previously found that FOXM1 repression during cellular aging accounts for the accrual of senescence phenotypes, which were vastly restored by overexpressing transcriptionally active FOXM1. Here, we found cyclic induction of a N-terminus truncated FOXM1 transgene on progeroid and naturally aged mice, to offset an aging-associated repression of full-length endogenous FoxM1, thereby allowing reinstatement of both transcriptional and non-transcriptional functions. This translated into mitigation of molecular and histopathological progeroid features of progeroid mice, significantly extending its lifespan. Notably, FOXM1 transgene induction also delayed the progressive accumulation of aging phenotypes, while extending the lifespan of naturally aged mice.

Project description:Homoharringtonine (HHT), an alkaloid isolated from Cephalotaxus, is an effective anti-leukemia agent that also exhibits inhibitory effects in various solid tumors. However, the impacts of HHT treatment on thyroid cancer (TC) remain unclear. This study aimed to explore whether HHT has anti-TC effects and its underlying molecular mechanism. Our findings demonstrated that HHT exhibited strong anti-TC activity, both in vivo and in vitro, that involved inhibiting cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, as well as inducing apoptosis. Proteomics analysis revealed that the expression of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1) was downregulated in TC cells following HHT treatment. Overexpression of TIMP1 had the opposite effects of HHT and reversed its inhibitory effects, while TIMP1 downregulation, mimicking the inhibitory effects of HHT, enhanced the anti-TC effects of HHT. Furthermore, the TIMP1 knockdown and rescue experiment revealed that TIMP1 re-expression attenuated the enhancement of anti-TC effects of HHT induced by TIMP1 knockdown. Mechanistically, HHT exerted the anti-TC effects by downregulating TIMP1 expression and then inactivating the FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Taken together, the FDA-approved drug HHT could inhibit TC progression by inhibiting the TIMP1/FAK/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and be repurposed as a promising agent for TC treatment.

Project description:Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominantly inherited vascular disease characterized by the presence of mucocutaneous telangiectasia and arteriovenous malformations in visceral organs. HHT is predominantly caused by mutations in ENG and ACVRL1, Which both belong to the TGF-M-NM-2 signalling pathway. Further knowledge on how a disturbance of the TGF-M-NM-2 signalling pathway leads to HHT manifestations is needed in order to identify potential therapeutic targets. As long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are increasingly recognized as key regulators of gene expression and constitute a sizable fraction of the human transcriptome, we wanted to assess whether lncRNAs play a role in the molecular pathogenesis of HHT. Here we used microarray analysis to profile lncRNAs to compare the expression of HHT telangiectasial and HHT non-telangiectasial nasal tissue from the same patient in a paired design. The microarray probes were re-annotated using the GENCODE v.16 dataset, identifying 4,810 probes mapping to 2,811 lncRNAs. By comparing HHT telangiectasial tissue versus HHT non-telangiectasial tissue, we identified 42 lncRNAs that are differentially expressed (q<0.001). Using GREAT, a tool that assumes cis-regulation, we showed that differently expressed lncRNAs are enriched for genomic loci involved in key pathways concerning HHT. Our study identified lncRNAs that are aberrantly expressed in HHT telangiectasia and indicates that lncRNAs may contribute to regulate protein-coding loci in HHT. Which suggest that the lncRNA component of the transcriptome deserves more attention in HHT. A deeper understanding of lncRNAs and their role in telangiectasia formation possesses potential for discovering therapeutic targets in HHT. Gene expression profiling of 80 paired nasal samples from patients with hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), representing telangiectasial and non-telangiectasial (normal) tissue respectively. The patients were divided into HHT1 or HHT2 in regard to the germline mutation in ENG (HHT1) or ACVRL1 (HHT2). Additional controls were healthy siblings (not carrying the germline mutation) and external controls. The study was conducted using Agilent-028004 SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K Microarray platform.

VCAM+/CD31-/CD45-/Sca1- quiescent satellite cells (QSCs) were isolated by FACS from hindlimb muscle of uninjured 2-3- or 22-24-month old mice. Activated satellite cells (ASCs) were isolated from hindlimb muscles of BaCl2-injured mice of the same age 36, 60 and 84 hours after injury using the same cell surface marker combination. YFP-expressing cells were isolated from 2-3-month old Pax7CreER/+; ROSA26eYFP/+ mice in which satellite cells are labeled geneticall by YFP expression. Total RNA was extracted from cells with the Trizol reagent according to manufacturer's instructions. RNA was then processed and assayed with Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays.
