Project description:Rho-GTPases are small GTP-binding proteins that contribute to the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by regulating several cellular processes including organization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell motility, transcription, and cell proliferation. Overexpression of RhoC-GTPases (RhoC) in breast cancer has been implicated in poor disease prognosis due to increased cancer cells invasion, migration, and motility, which warranted its consideration as a therapeutic target for inhibiting breast cancer metastasis. Using silencing RNA (siRNA) molecules to knockdown RhoC expression is a promising approach to inhibit breast cancer metastases.

Project description:The mineral dust-induced gene (mdig) is overexpressed in a number of human cancers, suggesting critical roles of this gene played on the pathogenesis of cancers. Unlike several other JmjC-domain containing proteins that exhibit histone demethylase activity, it remains enigmatic whether mdig is involved in the demethylation processes of the histone proteins. To provide direct evidence suggesting contribution of mdig to the demethylation of histone proteins, we report the global histone methylation profile of H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K9me3, and H3R8me2a in human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells with mina53/mdig knockout. ChIP-seq revealed a pronounced increase of the repressive histone trimethylation with mdig depletion, including H3K9me3 and H3K27me3. Data from both ChIP-seq and RNA-seq suggested that genetic disruption of mdig enriches repressive histone trimethylation and inhibits expression of target genes in the oncogenic pathways of cell growth, stemness of the cells, tissue fibrosis, and cell motility. Our study provides the first insight into the molecular effects of mdig as an antagonist for repressive histone methylation markers and suggests that targeting mdig may represent a new area to explore in cancer therapy.

Project description:We recently showed that inactivation of the WASF3/WAVE3 gene in breast cancer cells results in loss of cell motility and invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo. To obtain a better understanding of molecular mechanisms of action of WASF3, we have established the stable WASF3 overexpressing T47D cells using lentiviral infect system. We used miRNA microarrays to detail the global programme of miRNA expression after overexpression of WASF3 and identified distinct classes of up or down-regulated metastmir associated with breast cancer cell migration and motility invasion

Project description:Facultative heterochromatin controls development and differentiation in many eukaryotes. In metazoans, plants, and many filamentous fungi, facultative heterochromatin is characterized by transcriptional repression and enrichment with nucleosomes that are trimethylated at histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3). While loss of H3K27me3 results in derepression of transcriptional gene silencing in many species, additional up- and downstream layers of regulation are necessary to mediate control of transcription in chromosome regions enriched with H3K27me3. Here, we investigated the effects of one histone mark on histone H4, namely H4K20me3, in the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, a globally important pathogen of wheat. Deletion of kmt5, the gene encoding the sole methyltransferase responsible for H4K20 methylation, resulted in global derepression of transcription, especially in regions of facultative heterochromatin. Derepression in the absence of H4K20me3 not only affected known genes but also a large number of novel, previously undetected transcripts generated from regions of facultative heterochromatin on accessory chromosomes. Transcriptional activation in kmt5 deletion strains was accompanied by a complete loss of Ash1-mediated H3K36me3 and chromatin reorganization affecting H3K27me3 and H3K4me2 distribution in regions of facultative heterochromatin. Strains with H4K20L, M or Q mutations in the single histone H4 gene of Z. tritici recapitulated these chromatin changes, suggesting that H4K20me3 is important for Ash1-mediated H3K36me3. The ∆kmt5 mutants we obtained were more sensitive to genotoxic stressors than wild type and both, ∆kmt5 and ∆ash1, showed greatly increased rates of accessory chromosome loss. Taken together, our results provide insights into an unsuspected mechanism involved in the assembly and maintenance of facultative heterochromatin.

Project description:Exogenous overexpression of the metastasis suppressor gene Nm23-H1 reduces the metastatic potential of multiple types of cancer cells. In addition, Nm23-H1 expression suppresses in vitro tumor cell motility and invasion, important correlates of metastasis. The molecular mechanism by which Nm23-H1 suppresses metastasis, motility and invasion has yet to be defined. However, mutational analysis of Nm23-H1 has revealed that substitution mutant P96S and S120G are unable to inhibit cell motility. To elucidate the molecular mechanism of Nm23-H1 motility suppression, we performed expression microarray analysis of an MDA-MB- 435 carcinoma cell line overexpressing wild-type Nm23-H1 and cross-compared the expression profile to lines expressing P96S and S120G mutants. Nine genes, MET, PTN, SMO, FZD1, L1CAM, MMP2, NETO2, CTGF and EDG2, were down regulated by wild-type but not by mutant Nm23-H1 expression (p<0.05). Reduced expression of these genes coincident with elevated Nm23-H1 expression was observed in human breast tumor cohorts, a panel of breast carcinoma cell lines and hepatocellular carcinomas from control and Nm23-M1 knockout mice. The functional significance of down regulated genes was assessed by transfection and in vitro motility assays. Only EDG2 overexpression significantly restored motility to Nm23-H1- suppressed cancer cells and it enhanced motility by 60-fold in these cells. In addition, silencing EDG2 expression with siRNA, reduced the motile phenotype of metastatic breast cancer cells. These data suggest that Nm23-H1 suppresses metastasis, at least in part, through downregulation of EDG2 expression and that compounds directed toward EDG2 may be useful for treating aggressive, low Nm23-H1-expressing breast tumors.

Project description:Cell motility and invasion initiate metastasis. However, only a subpopulation of cancer cells within a tumor will ultimately become invasive. Due to this stochastic and transient nature, in an experimental setting, migrating and invading cells need to be isolated from the general population in order to study the gene expression profiles linked to these processes. This report describes microarray analysis on RNA derived from migrated or invaded subpopulations of triple negative breast cancer cells in a Transwell set-up, at two different time points during motility and invasion, pre-determined as “early” and “late” in real-time kinetic assessments. Invasion- and migration-related gene expression signatures were generated through comparison with non-invasive cells, remaining at the upper side of the Transwell membranes. Late-phase signatures of both invasion and migration indicated poor prognosis in a series of breast cancer data sets. Furthermore, evaluation of the genes constituting the prognostic invasion-related gene signature revealed Krüppel-like factor 9 (KLF9) as a putative suppressor of invasive growth in breast cancer. Next to loss in invasive vs non-invasive cell lines, KLF9 also showed significantly lower expression levels in the “early” invasive cell population, in several public expression data sets and in clinical breast cancer samples when compared to normal tissue. Overexpression of EGFP-KLF9 fusion protein significantly altered morphology and blocked invasion and growth of MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. In addition, KLF9 expression correlated inversely with mitotic activity in clinical samples, indicating anti-proliferative effects.

Project description:Purpose: By catalyzing hydrolysis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate, phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5 is a critical regulator of its concentration and biological effects in different (patho)physiological processes, including cancers. Being PDE5 a known druggable target, we investigated the clinical significance of its expression in breast cancers and the underlying molecular mechanisms by which it may contribute to breast cancer progression. Experimental Design: RT-PCR and immunoblotting analyses were used for PDE5 expression in eight breast cancer cell lines. To examine PDE5âs impact on cancer phenotype, MCF-7 cells, expressing the lowest levels of PDE5, were engineered to stably overexpress PDE5. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assays, motility and invasion by wound-healing, transmigration, matrigel-based invasion assays. RNA sequencing identified differentially-expressed genes. Clinical relevance of PDE5 was investigated by immunohistochemistry on tissues and retrospective studies from the Metabric cohort. Results: PDE5 was expressed at lower levels in luminal A-type breast cancer cells (MCF-7) compared to luminal B-like, HER2-overexpressing and basal-like cells. MCF-7 cells stably overexpressing PDE5 exhibited an increased cell motility and invasion through activation of Rho family of GTPases. Treatment of PDE5 clones with selective ROCK or PDE5 inhibitors completely restored the less motile and weak invasive behavior of control cells. In patients, PDE5 expression was found in ~85% of tumor entities analyzed, with the highest intensity staining in high-grade tumors. Retrospective analyses showed that higher PDE5 levels correlated with poorer survival. Conclusion: PDE5 expression enhances breast cancer cell invasive potential, highlighting its role as a novel molecular candidate with prognostic significance and a potential target in the treatment of breast cancers.

After selection of two time points (M-bM-^@M-^\earlyM-bM-^@M-^] and M-bM-^@M-^\lateM-bM-^@M-^]), RNA from invasive and migratory MDA-MB-231 cells was isolated from Transwell membranes and hybridized onto an Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression beadchip. Gene expressions of migrated/invaded subpopulations vs non-motile cells were compared.
