Project description:Lck-MyrAkt2 mice develop spontaneous thymic lymphomas at approximately 100-200 days of age, driven in part by a consitutatively-active AKT (due to myristoylation). mTOR Knock Down mice were crossed with Lck-MyrAkt postive mice to model the affects of decreasing mTOR activity on tumors with an activated PI3K/AKT/MTOR pathway. Lck-Akt/mTOR KD mice had prolonged survival compared to the Lck-Akt/mTOR WT mice. We used microarrays to compare the transcriptome in thymic lymphomas between Lck-Akt positive, mTOR WT and Lck-Akt positive, mTOR KD mice. Four thymic lymphomas from Lck-Akt/mTOR WT mice were compared to three thymic lymphomas from Lck-Akt/mTOR KD mice.

Project description:Mosca2012 - Central Carbon Metabolism Regulated by AKT
The role of the PI3K/Akt/PKB signalling pathway in oncogenesis has been extensively investigated and altered expression or mutations of many components of this pathway have been implicated in human cancers. Indeed, expression of constitutively active forms of Akt/PKB can prevent cell death upon growth factor withdrawal. PI3K/Akt/mTOR-mediated survival relies on a profound metabolic adaptation, including aerobic glycolysis. Here, the link between the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, glycolysis, lactic acid production and nucleotide biosynthesis has been modelled, considering two states - high and low PI3K/Akt/mTOR activity. The high PI3K/Akt/mTOR activity represents cancer cell line where PI3K/Akt/mTOR promotes a high rate of glucose metabolism (condition H) and the low PI3K/Akt/mTOR activity is characterised by a lower glycolytic rate due to a reduced PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal (condition L). This model corresponds to the high PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal (condition H).

Abstract:
Signal transduction pathways and gene regulation determine a major reorganization of metabolic activities in order to support cell proliferation. Protein Kinase B (PKB), also known as Akt, participates in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, a master regulator of aerobic glycolysis and cellular biosynthesis, two activities shown by both normal and cancer proliferating cells. Not surprisingly considering its relevance for cellular metabolism, Akt/PKB is often found hyperactive in cancer cells. In the last decade, many efforts have been made to improve the understanding of the control of glucose metabolism and the identification of a therapeutic window between proliferating cancer cells and proliferating normal cells. In this context, we have modelled the link between the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, glycolysis, lactic acid production and nucleotide biosynthesis. We used a computational model in order to compare two metabolic states generated by the specific variation of the metabolic fluxes regulated by the activity of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. One of the two states represented the metabolism of a growing cancer cell characterised by aerobic glycolysis and cellular biosynthesis, while the other state represented the same metabolic network with a reduced glycolytic rate and a higher mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism, as reported in literature in relation to the activity of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR. Some steps that link glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway revealed their importance for controlling the dynamics of cancer glucose metabolism.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway activation contributes to mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) pathogenesis and drug resistance. However, the use of mTOR inhibitors as single agents have shown limited clinical efficacy in relation with drug activation of feedback loops. Selective PI3K inhibition or dual PI3K/mTOR catalytic inhibition are different therapeutic approaches developed to achieve effective pathway blockage. Here, we evaluated the antitumor activity of a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor in primary MCL cells. We found that dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor modulated angiogenesis, tumor invasiveness and cytokine signaling compared to a mTOR inhibitor and a pan-PI3K inhibitor in MCL. We used microarrays to compare the effect of these three compounds in MCL and identified distinct classes of down-regulated genes modulated by each compound.

Project description:Purpose: The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is activated in most MM. In MM the mechanism of this pathway activation has not been completely elucidated, although loss of expression of PI3K pathway regulator, PTEN, is a frequent event in MM. Pten;Trp53 combined genetic loss in mouse mesothelium leads to non-epithelioid MM development. We assessed more broadly the impact of PI3K activation in MM development by comparing the effects of Pik3ca activation versus Pten inactivation in combination with Trp53 deletion on MM development. RNAseq was performed from tumor samples derived from Ptenlox/lox ; Trp53lox/lox and Pik3caH1047R/+; Trp53lox/lox mice derived sarcomatoid MM. Results: Our data also reveal that Pten loss has stronger oncogenic properties than Pik3ca mutation in MM.

Project description:Mucosal Melanomas (MM) are highly aggressive neoplasms arising from mucosal melanocytes. Current treatments offer a limited survival benefit for patients with advanced MM; moreover, the lack of pre-clinical cellular systems has significantly limited the understanding of their immunobiology. By morphology, ultrastructure and phenotype analysis, this study reports the validation and functional characterization of five cell lines obtained from human melanomas arising from the sino-nasal mucosa and designated as SN-MM1-5. Compared to the normal counterpart, the proteomic profile of SN-MM is consistent with transformed melanocytes showing a heterogeneous degree of melanocytic differentiation and activation of cancer-related pathways. All SN-MM cell lines resulted tumorigenic in vivo in NOD/SCID mice. Of relevance, the microscopic analysis of the corresponding xenotransplants allowed the identification of clusters of MITF-/CDH1-/CDH2+/ZEB1+/CD271+ cells, supporting the existence of melanoma initiating cells also in MM, as confirmed on clinical samples. The proteomic analysis of SN-MM cell lines revealed that RICTOR, a subunit of mTORC2 complex, is the most significantly activated upstream regulator, suggesting a relevant role for the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway in these neoplasms. Accordingly, Akt activation, as measured by pAkt(Ser473) and pAkt(Thr308), was observed in all SN-MM and resulted constitutive and sustained by PTEN loss in SN-MM2 and SN-MM3 . A functional role for PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway was confirmed by PI3K chemical inhibitor LY294002 which significantly impaired SN-MM cell lines viability. Overall, these novel and unique cellular systems represent relevant experimental tools for a better understanding of the immunobiology of these neoplasms and, as extension, to MM from other sites.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system with a highly variable prognosis. Activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in neuroblastoma is correlated with poor patient prognosis, but the precise downstream effectors mediating this effect have not been determined. Here, we identify the forkhead transcription factor FOXO3a as a key target of the PI3K/AKT pathway in neuroblastoma. FOXO3a expression was elevated in low stage neuroblastoma tumors and normal embryonal neuroblasts, but reduced in late stage neuroblastoma. Inactivation of FOXO3a by AKT was essential for neuroblastoma cell survival. Treatment of neuroblastoma cells with the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor PI-103 activated FOXO3a and triggered apoptosis. This effect was rescued by FOXO3a silencing. Conversely, apoptosis induced by PI-103 or the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 was potentiated by FOXO3a overexpression. Further, levels of total or phosphorylated FOXO3a correlated closely with apoptotic sensitivity to MK-2206. In clinical specimens, there was an inverse relationship between gene expression signatures regulated by PI3K signaling and FOXO3a transcriptional activity. Moreover, high PI3K activity and low FOXO3a activity were each associated with an extremely poor prognosis. Our work indicates that expression of FOXO3a and its targets offer useful prognostic markers as well as biomarkers for PI3K/AKT inhibitor efficacy in neuroblastoma.

Project description:We discover drugs with a dual-inhibitory mechanism provides a unique pharmacological strategy against cancer and evidence of cross-activation between the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways via a Ras˧PIK3IP1˧PI3K signaling network Achieving robust cancer-specific lethality is the ultimate clinical goal. Here we identify a compound with dual-inhibitory properties, named a131, that selectively kills cancer cells, while protecting normal cells. Through an unbiased CETSA screen, we identify the PIP4K lipid kinases as the target of a131. Ablation of the PIP4Ks generates a phenocopy of the pharmacological effects of PIP4K inhibition by a131. Notably, PIP4Ks inhibition by a131 causes reversible growth arrest in normal cells by transcriptionally up-regulating PIK3IP1, a suppressor of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Strikingly, Ras activation overrides a131-induced PIK3IP1 up-regulation and activates the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Consequently, Ras-transformed cells override a131-induced growth arrest and enter mitosis where a131’s ability to de-cluster supernumerary centrosomes in cancer cells eliminates Ras-activated cells through mitotic catastrophe. Our discovery of drugs with a dual-inhibitory mechanism provides a unique pharmacological strategy against cancer and evidence of cross-activation between the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways via a Ras˧PIK3IP1˧PI3K signaling network.

Project description:Phosphoinositide-3-kinase/protein-kinaseB/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) signalling plays an important role in breast cancer (BC). Its interaction with estrogen receptor (ER) signalling becomes more complex and inter-dependent with acquired endocrine resistance. Targeting mTOR combined with endocrine therapy has shown clinical utility, however, a negative feedback-loop exists downstream of PI3K/AKT/mTOR. Direct blockade of AKT together with endocrine therapy may improve BC treatment. AZD5363, a novel pan-AKT kinase catalytic inhibitor, was examined in a panel of ER+ BC cell lines (MCF7, HCC1428, T47D, ZR75.1) adapted to long-term-estrogen-deprivation (LTED) or tamoxifen (TamR). AZD5363 caused a dose-dependent decrease in proliferation in all cell lines tested (GI50<500nM) except HCC1428 and HCC1428-LTED. T47D-LTED and ZR75-LTED were the most sensitive of the lines (GI50~100nM). AZD5363 re-sensitised TamR cells to tamoxifen and acted synergistically with fulvestrant. AZD5363 decreased p-AKT/mTOR targets leading to a reduction in ERα-mediated transcription in a context specific manner and concomitant decrease in recruitment of ER and CREB-binding protein (CBP) to estrogen-response-elements located on the TFF1, PGR and GREB1 promoters. Furthermore, AZD5363 reduced expression of cell-cycle-regulatory proteins. Global gene expression highlighted ERBB2-ERBB3, ERK5 and IGF1 signaling pathways driven by MYC as potential feedback-loops. Combined treatment with AZD5363 and fulvestrant showed synergy in an ER+ patient derived xenograft and delayed tumour progression post-cessation of therapy. These data support the combination of AZD5363 with fulvestrant as a potential therapy for BC that is sensitive or resistant to E-deprivation or tamoxifen and that activated AKT is a determinant of response, supporting the need for clinical evaluation. Cell lines were treated in biological triplicates in the absence of estrogen with or without AZD5363 for 24hours in order to identify gene changes associated with perturbation of AKT signalling

Project description:Alterations of the tumor suppressor TP53, one of the most common events in cancer, alone are insufficient for tumor development but serve as drivers of transformation. We sought to identify cooperating events through genomic analyses of a novel somatic Trp53R245W mouse model (equivalent to the TP53R248W hot spot mutation in human cancers) that recapitulates metastatic breast cancer development. We identified cooperating lesions similar to those found in human breast cancers. Moreover, we identified activation of the Pi3k/Akt/mTOR pathway in most tumors via mutations in Pten, Erbb2, Kras and/or a recurrent Pip5k1c mutation that stabilizes the Pip5k1c protein to activate Pi3k/Akt/mTOR signaling. Another PIP5K1C family member, PIP5K1A, is co-amplified with PI4KB in 18% of human breast cancer patients and both encode kinases that are responsible for production of the PI3K substrate, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Thus, the TP53R248W mutation and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling are major cooperative events driving breast cancer development. Additionally, we demonstrated that the upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation by Pi3k/Akt/mTOR signaling is a vulnerability in murine as well as human breast cancer cell lines. These findings advance our understanding of mutant p53-driven breast tumors and expand testable targets for breast cancer treatment.
