LIMK2 promotes melanoma tumor growth and metastasis through G3BP1-ESM1 pathway-mediated apoptosis inhibition

ABSTRACT: Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer-related deaths, and current melanoma therapies, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies, benefit only a subset of metastatic melanoma patients due to either intrinsic or acquired resistance. LIM domain kinase 2 (LIMK2) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays an important role in the regulation of actin filament dynamics. Here, we show that LIMK2 is overexpressed in melanoma, and its genetic or pharmacological inhibition impairs melanoma tumor growth and metastasis in both cell culture and mice. To determine the mechanism by which LIMK2 promotes melanoma tumor growth and metastatic progression, we performed a phosphoproteomics analysis and identified G3BP1 as a key LIMK2 target, which mirrored the effects of LIMK2 inhibition when inhibited. To further determine the role of G3BP1 downstream of LIMK2, we knocked down the expression of G3BP1, performed RNA-seq analysis, and identified ESM1 as a downstream target of G3BP1. G3BP1 was required for ESM1 mRNA stability, and ESM1 ectopic expression rescued LIMK2 or G3BP1 inhibition-induced suppression of melanoma growth and metastatic attributes. These results collectively identify the LIMK2→G3BP1→ESM1 pathway as a facilitator of melanoma tumor growth and metastasis and document that LIMK2 is a therapeutically tractable target for melanoma therapy.

G3BP1 translocates into mitochondria to impair MCU complex function and promotes NASH progression [G3bp1-HKO and G3bp1-Flox mice with BSA or PA treatment]

Project description:Mitochondrial calcium signaling plays a critical role in mitochondrial homeostasis during non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) progression. Here, we report Ras‐GTPase activating protein SH3 domain‐binding protein 1 (G3BP1), a core protein of stress granule (SG), significantly upregulated in NAFLD/NASH patients, mouse models and palmitic acid-stimulated hepatocytes. Hepatocyte-specific G3BP1 deficiency attenuates NASH in two dietary mouse models. SG and the mitochondrial import protein TOM70 collaboratively mediate the translocation of G3BP1 to the mitochondria. G3BP1 interacts and stabilizes mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) via inhibiting YME1L1-mediated degradation of MICU1, and also impedes MCU complex activity and assembly, leading to mitochondrial calcium overload. Moreover, metabolic stress suppresses TRIM25-mediated K63-ubiquitination of G3BP1 and subsequent SG disassembly. Pharmacological inhibition of G3BP1 impairs the G3BP1-MICU1 interaction and prevents mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance and NASH progression. Collectively, we uncover the significant role of mitochondrial G3BP1 in mitochondrial homeostasis and NASH progression, which provides a potential target for therapeutic interventions.

Melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles induce lymphangiogenesis and metastasis through a NGFR-dependent mechanism

Project description:Secreted extracellular vesicles are known to influence the tumor microenvironment and promote metastasis. In this work, we have analyzed the involvement of extracellular vesicles in the establishment of lymph node pre-metastatic niches by melanoma cells. We found that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from highly metastatic melanoma cell lines spread broadly through the lymphatic system and were taken up by lymphatic endothelial cells, reinforcing lymph node metastasis. Melanoma-derived sEVs induce lymphangiogenesis, a hallmark of pre-metastatic niche formation, in vitro and in lymphoreporter mice in vivo. We found that neural growth factor receptor (NGFR) is secreted in melanoma-derived small extracellular vesicles and shuttled to lymphatic endothelial cells, inducing lymphangiogenesis and tumor cell adhesion through the activation of ERK and NF-B pathways and ICAM1 expression. Importantly, ablation or inhibition of NGFR in sEVs reversed the lymphangiogenic phenotype, decreased melanoma lymph node metastasis and extended the survival. Importantly, analysis of NGFR expression in lymph node metastases and matched primary tumors shows that levels of MITF+NGFR+ lymph node metastatic cells are correlated with disease outcome. Our data support the idea that NGFR secreted in sEVs favors lymph node pre-metastatic niche formation and lymph node metastasis in melanoma

RAN directly binds and stabilizes G3BP1 mRNA in the nucleus to facilitate proliferation and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (si-G3BP1 RNA-seq)

Project description:RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play a critical role in tumor progression by participating in the post-transcriptional regulation of RNA. However, the expression and function of RBPs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain elusive. This study identified 5 RBPs (RAN, EZH2, RDM1, HRSP12, and ALYREF) that were up-regulated in NPC and could promote NPC cells migration or proliferation. RAN was first investigated because of its most significant effect on NPC cells. Functionally, RAN facilitated NPC proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and in vivo. High expression of RAN was associated with poor prognosis of NPC patients and could be performed as a prognostic biomarker. Mechanistically, RAN mediated the nucleus import of TDP43 and enhanced TDP43 nuclear distribution. On the other hand, RAN was directly bound to the coding sequence of G3BP1 mRNA and served as an adapter to facilitate TDP43 interacting with G3BP1 mRNA 3’untranslated region. Thereby increased G3BP1 mRNA stability in the nucleus and led to up-regulation of G3BP1, which further enhanced ATK/ERK phosphorylation and ultimately promoted NPC proliferation and metastasis.

Amyloid Beta Promotes Brain Metastasis

Project description:Brain metastasis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in multiple cancer types and represents an unmet clinical need. The mechanisms that mediate metastatic cancer growth in the brain parenchyma are largely unknown. Melanoma, which has the highest rate of brain metastasis among common cancer types, is an ideal model to study how cancer cells adapt to the brain parenchyma. We utilized pairs of brain metastasis-derived (BM) and non-brain metastasis-derived (NBM) melanoma short term cultures (STCs) obtained from the same patient. We performed TMT based multiplexed analysis of these cell lines using off-line fractionation to increase our proteomics coverage. Our unbiased proteomics analysis of these melanoma short-term cultures revealed that proteins implicated in neurodegenerative pathologies are differentially expressed in melanoma cells explanted from brain metastases compared to those derived from extracranial metastases. We showed that melanoma cells require amyloid beta for growth and survival in the brain parenchyma. Melanoma-secreted A beta activates surrounding astrocytes to a pro-metastatic, anti-inflammatory phenotype and prevents phagocytosis of melanoma by microglia. Finally, we demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of Abeta decreases brain metastatic burden.

Tissue samples from the same individual patient

Project description:We searched for putative phenotypic and genotypic differences between primary lesions and melanoma metastasis. Therefore we investigated melanoma cells derived either from the primary tumor or from lymph node metastasis of the same individual patient. In vitro studies revealed high migratory and anchorage independent growth of metastasis-derived cells. Unexpectedly, whole genome DNA analysis displayed a total of 10 homozygous losses in the primum-derived cell line, whereas the metastasis–derived cell line only shared 5 of those losses. We further tested these cells in a mouse model for intradermal melanoma growth and detected fast growth of the metastasis-derived cell line and no growth of primum-derived cells. Therefore we suggest that tumor cell progression at the metastatic niche can occur parallel and independently from the primary tumor. Additionally we screened melanoma samples isolated from patients and could identify one case were the primum harboured deletions not present in the metastatic lesion. We propose that for mutation-targeted therapy genotyping should be performed not only from primary, but foremost from metastatic melanoma cells. Blood samples as well tumor samples were directly processed for DNA isolation and subsequent chip hybridization. Each sample was hybridized onto a single affymetrix SNP 6.0 chip.

G3BP1 inhibits Cul3SPOP to amplify AR signaling and promote prostate tumorigenesis

Project description:Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, acts as a tumor suppressor. We identified G3BP1 as non-substrate interactor of SPOP. G3BP1 is a well-known oncogene in many cancer types, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains largely elusive. We showed that G3BP1 functions as an upstream regulator and potent endogenous inhibitor of Cul3SPOP, suggesting a distinctive Cul3SPOP inactivation independent of SPOP mutations. Transcriptomic analysis together with functional studies revealed that the G3BP1-SPOP ubiquitin signaling axis is involved in PCa progression through activating AR signaling. Further, AR upregulates G3BP1 to potentiate feed-forward amplification of signaling through G3BP1-SPOP axis. Overall, we show G3BP1high PCa tumors constitute a new subset where G3BP1 inhibits Cul3SPOP function to upregulate AR signaling, and promotes tumorigenesis.

The Polycomb protein BMI1 induces an invasive gene expression signature in melanoma that promotes metastasis and chemoresistance.

Project description:The epigenetic regulator BMI1 is upregulated in many human malignancies and has been implicated in cell migration, but the impact on autochthonous tumor progression is unexplored. Our analyses of human expression data show that BMI1 levels increase with progression in melanoma. We find that BMI1 expression in melanoma cells does not influence cell proliferation or primary tumor growth. In contrast, BMI1 levels are a key determinant of melanoma metastasis, whereby deletion impairs and overexpression enhances dissemination. Remarkably, BMI1’s pro-metastatic effect reflects enhancement of all stages of the metastatic cascade including invasion, migration, extravasation, adhesion and survival. Additionally, downregulation or upregulation of BMI1 induces sensitivity or resistance to BRAF inhibitor. Consistent with these pleiotropic effects, we find that BMI1 promotes widespread gene expression changes that encompass key hallmarks of the melanoma invasive signature, including activation of TGFβ, non-canonical Wnt, EMT and EGF/PDGF pathways. Importantly, for both primary and metastatic melanoma samples, this BMI1-induced signature identifies invasive subclasses of human melanoma and predicts poor patient outcome. Our data yield key insights into melanoma biology and establish BMI1 as a compelling drug target whose inhibition would suppress both metastasis and chemoresistance.

Rhodes2019 - Immune-Mediated theory of Metastasis

Project description:Abstract: Accumulating experimental and clinical evidence suggest that the immune response to cancer is not exclusively anti-tumor. Indeed, the pro-tumor roles of the immune system - as suppliers of growth and pro-angiogenic factors or defenses against cytotoxic immune attacks, for example - have been long appreciated, but relatively few theoretical works have considered their effects. Inspired by the recently proposed "immune-mediated" theory of metastasis, we develop a mathematical model for tumor-immune interactions at two anatomically distant sites, which includes both anti- and pro-tumor immune effects, and the experimentally observed tumor-induced phenotypic plasticity of immune cells (tumor "education" of the immune cells). Upon confrontation of our model to experimental data, we use it to evaluate the implications of the immune-mediated theory of metastasis. We find that tumor education of immune cells may explain the relatively poor performance of immunotherapies, and that many metastatic phenomena, including metastatic blow-up, dormancy, and metastasis to sites of injury, can be explained by the immune-mediated theory of metastasis. Our results suggest that further work is warranted to fully elucidate the pro-tumor effects of the immune system in metastatic cancer.
