Loss of protein phosphatase 6 confers resistance to MAP kinase pathway inhibition in KRAS and BRAF mutant cells via NF-κB activation

ABSTRACT: To understand the global impact of PPP6C loss on gene expression, we carried out RNA-seq analysis in parental and PPP6C KO SW620 cells under 2D and 3D culture conditions. SW620 WT (sgNT) and PPP6C KO (sgPPP6C#2, sgPPP6C#3) were cultured in normal petri dish (2D culture) or U-bottom plates (3D culture) for 3 days with three independent replicates for each cell sample. A total of 4,337 genes were found to be differentially expressed in the KO cells under at least one condition (FDR < 0.05, ≥ 2-fold change). Among these, 1,123 genes were significant up- or down-regulated in PPP6C KO cells under both 2D and 3D conditions. Unsupervised clustering analysis identified three large clusters of gene expression patterns: cluster 1 were upregulated in the PPP6C KO cells primarily under 2D conditions, cluster 2 were upregulated in the PPP6C KO cells under both 2D and 3D conditions, and cluster 3 gene were downregulated genes in the PPP6C KO cells under both 2D and 2D conditions. We next carried out gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) using the hallmark gene set database to identified pathways that were significantly altered in PPP6C KO cells. Among the pathways upregulated in the PPP6C KO cells under both 2D and 3D conditions, the “TNFA-signaling_via_NFKB” gene set scored as the top one. Both “KRAS_signaling_up” and “PI3K_AKT_mTOR_signaling” gene sets were also significantly upregulated. PPP6C KO has opposite effects on cell proliferation in 2D monolayer vs. 3D tumor spheroid culture. We noticed that 383 genes in the PPP6C KO cells showed opposite changes in 2D vs. 3D conditions. Taken together, gene expression analysis indicates that multiple signaling pathways including the KRAS, PI3K and NF-κB pathways were perturbed in the in PPP6C KO cells and they could contribute to the cell’s decreased sensitivity to MEK inhibitors.

Project description:The development of more complex but reliable systems for compound testing in a pharmaceutical context is a challenging task to date. Three-dimensional (3D), organ mimetic cell culture is aiming to become an alternative to common two-dimensional (2D) cell culture or animal testing in that field. We developed a biocompatible 3D cell culture environment for a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) model that enables cellular maintenance in a polycarbonate scaffold structure. Albumin, regarded as a differentiation marker, was elevated in statically 3D cultivated HepG2 cells. Expression of HCC tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was reduced compared to immunofluorescence stainings of 2D cultivated cells. Remarkably, expression of cytokeratin and pathophysiologically relevant beta-1 integrin (ITGB1) was found enhanced in nonperfused 3D cell culture. Changes in gene expression induced by the 3D cultivation environment were investigated using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Our findings revealed involvement of the insulin growth factor (IGF) signaling pathway in upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and ITGB1. The experimental data indicate a more differentiated state in 3D cultivated HepG2 cells than in the respective 2D experiments. Hence, scaffold-supported 3D cultivation of HepG2 cells may lead to a gain of information valuable for both drug testing and cancer research. HepG2 cells were cultivated for five days under 2D and 3D statical and perfused conditions. Cultivation was started with 0.25x10^6 cells in 2D and with 1x10^6 vital cells for the 3D experiments. The day of seeding was defined as d0. The groups were classified as follows: 2D, i.e., monolayer cultures, 3D, i.e., statical 3D cultures and BR, which denotes perfused 3D culture of HepG2 cells. The perfusable bioreactor system was operated using a peristaltic pump. It houses the MatriGrid, a polycarbonate-based microporous cellular support. For 3D static cultivation, cell-inoculated MatriGrids were placed in wells of a 24-well plate. Microarray experiments of three 2D (i.e., control), three 3D statically and three actively perfused 3D cultivations were performed at SIRS-Lab GmbH (SIRS-Lab GmbH, Jena, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Altogether, 9 RNA samples of hepatocyte cultures and an internal control RNA were hybridized on two HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChips.
