Project description:We identified the Rho family GTPase Rnd1 as a candidate breast tumor suppressor by using bioinformatics analysis in conjunction with iRNA silencing. Upon silencing of Rnd1, normal mammary epithelial cells underwent a complete EMT but eventually became senescent, suggesting that they had experienced an oncogenic insult. Expression of c-Myc rescued the Rnd1-depleted cells from senescence by suppressing p27Kip and it enabled their neoplastic conversion. The resulting cells were able to grow in soft agar and to form invasive, multi-acinar structures in 3D Matrigel. Silencing of Rnd1 promoted disruption of epithelial adhesion and polarity in xenograft models. In contrast, expression of Rnd1 inhibited tumor development. Mechanistic studies revealed that Rnd1 suppresses Ras signaling and prevents the EMT by activating the Ras-GAP domain of Plexin B1. Finally, analysis of clinical samples and cancer cell lines provided evidence that gene deletion, epigenetic silencing, and missense mutations contribute to inactivate RND1 in a subset of human breast cancers. These results indicate that Rnd1 promotes epithelial adhesion and polarity and suppresses oncogenesis by restraining unscheduled activation of Ras.

These results indicate that Rnd1 promotes epithelial adhesion and polarity and suppresses oncogenesis by restraining unscheduled activation of Ras. genomic DNA from 96 breast cancer tissues and 8 normal mammary tissues were extracted and subjected to SOLID deep sequencing for exons of the RND1 gene to identify tumor-associated mutations with the amino acid exchanges There were two separate SOLID runs (0136 and 0270), on the same 96 tumors. The pools are indicated by "A1", "A2", "B1", etc.

Project description:Oct4, a key transcription factor for maintaining the pluripotency and self-renewal of stem cells has been reported previously. It also plays an important role in tumor proliferation and apoptosis, but the role of Oct4 been in tumor metastasis is still not very clear. Here, we found that ectopic expression of Oct4 in breast cancer cells can inhibit their migration and invasion. Detailed examinations revealed that Oct4 up-regulates expression of E-cadherin, indicative of its inhibitory role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). RNA-sequence assay showed that Oct4 down-regulates expression of Rnd1. As an atypical Rho protein, Rnd1 can affect cytoskeleton rearrangement and regulate cadherin-based cell-cell adhesion by antagonizing the typical Rho protein, RhoA. Ectopic expression of Rnd1 in MDA-MB-231 cells changes cell morphology which influences cell adhesion and increases migration. It is reported that EMT is accompanied by cytoskeleton remodeling, we hypothesized that Rnd1 may play a role in regulating EMT. Over-expression of Rnd1 can partly rescue the inhibitory effects induced by Oct4, not only migration and invasion, but also in E-cadherin level and cellular morphology. Furthermore, silencing of Rnd1 can up-regulate the expression of E-cadherin in MDA-MB-231 cells. These results present evidence that ectopic expression of Oct4 increases E-cadherin and inhibits metastasis, effects which may be related to Rnd1 associated cell-cell adhesion in breast cancer cells.

Project description:Endothelial Notch signaling regulates transcription of many downstream effectors controlling sprouting, migration, proliferation, barrier formation, and other phenotypes. However, endothelial-relevant Notch targets are largely uncharacterized. Few are studied in depth, and many transient, early response Notch targets are yet to be described. We therefore determined the Notch early response transcriptional profile in several experimentally relevant in vivo and in vitro contexts: ligand-specific or EGTA-induced Notch activation in different primary endothelial cells, and gamma secretase-mediated Notch inhibition in neonatal brain endothelium in a RiboTag mouse model. The intersection of these profiles reveals a core set of early Notch-responsive targets. Among these are effectors in GPCR signaling, not previously implicated downstream of Notch signaling. We demonstrate the Rho GTPase RND1 is a direct Notch transcriptional target and required for Notch control of sprouting angiogenesis, endothelial migration and Ras activity.

Project description:Rho family small GTPases serve as molecular switches in the regulation of diverse cellular functions including actin cytoskeleton remodeling, cell migration, gene transcription, and cell proliferation. Importantly, Rho overexpression is frequently seen in many carcinomas. However, published studies have almost invariably utilized immortal or tumorigenic cell lines to study Rho GTPase functions and there are no studies on the potential of Rho small GTPase to overcome senescence checkpoints and induce preneoplastic transformation of human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs). We found that ectopic expression of wild-type RhoA as well as a constitutively-active RhoA mutant (G14V) in primary hMEC strains led to their immortalization and preneoplastic transformation. Significantly, RhoA-T37A mutant, known to be incapable of interacting with many well known Rho-effectors ,was also capable of immortalizing hMECs.Our results demonstrate that RhoA can induce the preneoplastic transformation of hMECs by altering multiple pathways linked cellular transformation and breast cancer. Through microarray analysis, we want to identify genes and pathways linked to RhoA induced hMECs immortalization. Experiment Overall Design: 4 samples, in triplicate analyses per sample.

Project description:Impaired drainage of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork (TM) culminating in increased intraocular pressure is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Regulation of aqueous humor drainage through the TM, however, is poorly understood. The role of RhoA GTPase-mediated contractile activity, cell adhesive interactions, and gene expression in regulation of aqueous humor outflow was investigated using adenoviral vector-driven expression of constitutively active RhoA (RhoAV14). Organ cultured anterior segments from porcine eyes expressing RhoAV14 exhibited significant reduction of aqueous humor outflow. Cultured TM cells expressing RhoAV14 revealed strong contractile cell morphology, increased actin stress fibers and focal adhesions, along with increased levels of phosphorylated myosin II, and collagen IV, fibronectin and laminin. cDNA microarray analysis of RNA extracted from RhoAV14 expressing human TM cells revealed a significant increase in the expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, cytokines, integrins, cytoskeletal proteins and signaling proteins. Conversely, various ECM proteins stimulated robust increases in phosphorylation of myosin II, paxillin and focal adhesion kinase, and activated Rho GTPase and actin stress fiber formation in TM cells, indicating a potential regulatory feedback interaction between ECM-induced mechanical strain and Rho GTPase-induced isometric tension in TM cells. Collectively, these data demonstrate that sustained activation of Rho GTPase signaling in the aqueous humor outflow pathway increases resistance to aqueous humor outflow through the trabecular pathway by influencing the contractile force, cell adhesive interactions, and the expression of ECM proteins and cytokines in TM cells.
