Nucleolin aptamer N6L reprograms the translational machinery and acts synergistically with mTORi to inhibit pancreatic cancer proliferation

ABSTRACT: We previously showed that N6L, a pseudo-peptide that targets nucleolin, impairs pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) growth and normalizes tumor vessels in animal models. In this study, we analyzed the translatome of PDAC cells treated with N6L to identify the pathways that were either repressed or activated. We observed a strong decrease of global protein synthesis. However, about 6% of the mRNAs were enriched in the polysomes. We identified a 5’TOP motif in many of these mRNAs, and demonstrated that a chimeric RNA bearing a 5‘TOP motif was up-regulated by N6L. We demonstrated that N6L activates the mTOR pathway which is required for the translation of these mRNAs. An inhibitory synergistic effect in PDAC cell lines including patient derived-xenografts and tumor derived-organoids was observed when N6L was combined with mTOR inhibitors. In conclusion, N6L reduces pancreatic cells proliferation which then undergoes a translational reprogramming through activation of the mTOR pathway. N6L and mTOR inhibitors act synergistically to inhibit the proliferation of PDAC and human PDX cell lines. This combotherapy of N6L and mTOR inhibitors could constitute a promising alternative to treat pancreatic cancer.

nanoCAGE reveals 5â UTR features that define specific modes of translation of functionally related mTOR-sensitive mRNAs

Project description:mTOR regulates mRNA translation. Whereas ribosome-profiling suggested that mTOR exclusively stimulates translation of TOP (containing a 5â-terminal oligopyrimidine [5âTOP] motif) and TOP-like mRNAs, polysome-profiling implied that mTOR also modulates translation of non-TOP mRNAs. We show that ribosome-, but not polysome-profiling, is biased towards identification of TOP mRNAs as differentially translated while obscuring detection of changes in non-TOP mRNA translation. Transcription start site profiling by Nano-Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (nanoCAGE) revealed that many mTOR-sensitive mRNAs do not have 5âTOP motifs. Moreover, nanoCAGE showed that 5â UTR features distinguish two functionally and translationally distinct subsets of mTOR-sensitive mRNAs: i) those with short 5â UTRs enriched for mitochondrial functions such as respiration, that are translated in an eIF4E, but not eIF4A1-dependent manner and ii) mRNAs encoding proliferation- and survival-promoting proteins, that harbor long 5â UTRs, and require both eIF4E and eIF4A1 for their efficient translation. Selective inhibition of translation of mRNAs harboring long 5â UTRs via suppression of eIF4A leads to uncoupling of expression of proteins involved in respiration (e.g. ATP5O) from those protecting mitochondrial integrity (e.g. BCL-2) ultimately resulting in apoptosis. Conversely, simultaneous translational downregulation of both long and short 5â UTR mRNAs by mTOR inhibitors results in suppression of mitochondrial respiration and predominantly cytostatic effects. Therefore, 5â UTR features define differential modes of translation of functionally distinct mTOR-sensitive mRNAs, which explains discrepancies between the effects of mTOR and eIF4A inhibitors on neoplastic cells.

nanoCAGE reveals 5’ UTR features that define specific modes of translation of functionally related mTOR-sensitive mRNAs

Project description:mTOR regulates mRNA translation. Whereas ribosome-profiling suggested that mTOR exclusively stimulates translation of TOP (containing a 5’-terminal oligopyrimidine [5’TOP] motif) and TOP-like mRNAs, polysome-profiling implied that mTOR also modulates translation of non-TOP mRNAs.

Analysis of Nucleolin depletion impact on the KRAS-induced proteomic changes in mouse Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.

Project description:To reveal the role of Nuclelin (Ncl) downstream of mutant KRAS in shaping the proteome of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells, we carried out a quantitative proteomics analysis of tumour cells isolated from an inducible mouse model of PDAC (iKras PDAC) (Ying et al., 2012). In this model, oncogenic Kras (G12D) expression can be controlled by administration of doxycycline (Dox). Tandem Mass Tagging (TMT) was employed for quantitative analysis of Dox induced (24hrs) vs. non-induced iKras-PDAC cells, from control or Nucleolin depleted settings. Two independent siRNA oligos were used against Ncl. All samples barcoded and pooled together using TMT 6plex labelling kit (Thermo).

Nucleolin-aptamer therapy in retinoblastoma: molecular changes and mass spectrometry–based imaging

Project description:Retinoblastoma (RB) is an intraocular childhood tumor which, if left untreated, leads to blindness and mortality. Nucleolin (NCL) protein which is differentially expressed on the tumor cell surface, binds ligands and regulates carcinogenesis and angiogenesis. We found that NCL is over expressed in RB tumor tissues and cell lines compared to normal retina. We studied the effect of nucleolin-aptamer (NCL-APT) to reduce proliferation in RB tumor cells. Aptamer treatment on the RB cell lines (Y79 and WERI-Rb1) led to significant inhibition of cell proliferation. Locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified NCL-APT administered subcutaneously (s.c.) near tumor or intraperitoneally (i.p.) in Y79 xenografted nude mice resulted in 26 and 65% of tumor growth inhibition, respectively. Downregulation of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins, tumor miRNA-18a, altered serum cytokines, and serum miRNA-18a levels were observed upon NCL-APT treatment. Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI MS)-based imaging of cell lines and tumor tissues revealed changes in phosphatidylcholines levels upon treatment. Thus, our study provides proof of concept illustrating NCL-APT-based targeted therapeutic strategy and use of DESI MS-based lipid imaging in monitoring therapeutic responses in RB.

Translational control of mTOR/4E-BP1 axis in MiaPaca-2 cells

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) relies on hyper-activated protein synthesis. Consistently, human and mouse PDAC lose expression of the translational repressor and mTOR target 4E-BP1. Using genome-wide polysome-profiling, we here explore mRNAs whose translational efficiencies depend on the mTOR/4E-BP1 axis in Miapaca-2 cells. This was performed by isolating cytoplasmic and efficiently translated (heavy polysome-associated) mRNAs from MiaPaca-2 cells upon PP242-mediated mTOR inhibition

Analysis of the impact of Nucleolin phospho-mutants on the proteome of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.

Project description:To reveal the impact of Nucleolin (Ncl) phosphorylation on oncogenic KRAS-induced changes in the proteome of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells, we carried out a quantitative proteomic analysis on tumour cells isolated from an inducible mouse model of PDAC (iKras PDAC) (Ying et al., 2012), which were ectopically expressing wild-type or different phospho-mutants of Ncl. In this mouse model, oncogenic Kras (G12D) expression can be controlled by administration of doxycycline (Dox). Tandem Mass Tagging (TMT) was employed for quantitative analysis of Dox induced (24hrs) vs. non-induced iKras-PDAC cells, which were privously transfected with three different expression constructs of mouse myc-tagged Ncl. These constructs encoded for wild-type Ncl (WT Ncl), a phospho-defective mutant with four Serine to Alanine mutations on S28, S34, S41, and S42 sites (S4A Ncl), and a phospho-mimicking mutant with the same Serines mutated to Aspartic Acid (S4D Ncl). Cells were subjected to whole cell lysis, followed by Trypsin digestion, TMT barcoding with TMT 6plex kit (Thermo), and peptide fractionation, before analysis by LC-MS/MS.

Analysis of Nucleolin and PTBP1 RNA targets before after Sciatic nerve injury

Project description:We previously showed that importin beta1 local translation in injured axons is a key event in injury-signaling and regeneration (Perry et al., 2012). Next, we showed that importin beta1 is localize to axons through a localization motif in its 3'UTR and that this motif is bound by the RNA binding proteins Nucleolin and PTBP1. In this study, we asked which other RNA targets are bound by these two RNA binding proteins in naive Sciatic nerves and how are they changing 7 days after injury.

HOXC6 drives a therapeutically targetable pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis pathway via stimulating MSK1 kinase and suppressing PPP2R2B protein

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers, which lacks effective therapies. Here, we demonstrate that the transcription factor, HOXC6, is overexpressed in most PDACs, and its inhibition blocks PDAC tumor growth and metastasis. HOXC6 transcriptionally activates tumor-promoting kinase MSK1 and suppresses tumor-inhibitory protein PPP2R2B in PDAC. HOXC6-induced PPP2R2B suppression causes mTOR pathway activation, which facilitates PDAC growth. Also, MSK1 upregulation by HOXC6 is necessary for PDAC growth due to its ability to suppress apoptosis via its substrate DDX17. Combinatorial pharmacological inhibition of MSK1 and mTOR potently suppressed PDAC tumor growth and metastasis in PDAC mouse models. PDAC cells with acquired resistance to MSK1/mTOR-inhibitors displayed activated IGF1R signaling and were successfully eradicated by IGF1R inhibitor. Furthermore, MEK inhibitor trametinib enhanced the efficacy of dual MSK1 and mTOR inhibition. Collectively, these results identify therapeutic vulnerabilities of PDAC and an approach to overcome acquired drug resistance to prolong therapeutic benefit.
