Project description:Upon cellular stress, the concentration of the alarmone diadenosine triphosphate (Ap3A) increases and is thought to trigger downstream adaptive processes. The known Ap3A-hydrolase fragile histidine triad (Fhit) is known to form a complex with Ap3A. The molecular mechanism of Fhit-Ap3A signaling is however unknown. In this study, by synthesizing a covalent Fhit-Ap3A complex we have elucidated the Ap3A-dependent cellular interactome by mass spectrometry-based proteome profiling. Interestingly, we found a significant enrichment of proteins involved in translation. We then show that Fhit translocates from the nucleolus into the cytosol upon stress to form a Fhit-Ap3A complex which impedes translation both in vitro and in vivo in an Ap3A dependent manner resulting in reduced cell viability. Overall, our findings provide a mechanistic model by which the tumor suppressor Fhit collaborates with the alarmone Ap3A to regulate cellular proliferation.

Project description:The FHIT gene, at 3p14.2, encompasses the common fragile site FRA3B and is frequently inactivated in primary tumors and cell lines of lung, head and neck, stomach, esophagus, cervix and breast cancer. In particular, loss of the FHIT protein is one of the most frequent alteration in lung tumors and pre-invasive lung lesions, suggesting a role for this gene in the early stages of lung carcinogenesis. Adenoviral-mediated restoration of FHIT expression in FHIT-negative cell lines results in cell cycle alteration, induction of apoptosis (through activation of the cytoplasmic apoptotic pathway) and regression of the tumorigenic phenotype. Taken together these observations support the hypothesis of a role for FHIT in human carcinogenesis, but little is known about its mechanism of action. Identification of transcriptional targets of FHIT is therefore critical to understand the pathways by which FHIT promotes growth arrest and apoptosis.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is known to be caused by a genetic predisposition involving multiple genes; however, there is growing evidence that abnormal interaction with environmental, particularly epigenetic, factors can have a significant contribution during the development of IBD. Although many studies, particularly genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have been performed to identify the genetic changes underlying the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease (CD), the role of epigenetic changes in the development of complications arising from CD is poorly understood. Here, we employed an unbiased approach to define DNA methylation alteration in CD patients using the HumanMethylation450K BeadChip platform. Compared to normal controls, the majority of differential DNA methylation in CD patient samples was in the promoter, intergenic, and gene body regions. The DNA methylation profile in CD revealed 134 probes (23 hypermethylated and 111 hypomethylated probes) that were differentially methylated. We validated the methylation levels of 19 genes that showed hypermethylation in CD patients compared with normal control. Technical validation was performed using quantitative MSP analysis and we finally identified that the Fragile Histidine Triad (FHIT) genes were hypermethylated in a disease-specific manner. Gene network analysis of the hypermethylated candidates suggested putative molecular interactions relevant to IBD pathology. Overall, our DNA methylation profile identifies newly hypermethylated genes in CD, as well as the gene network associated with disease development, which can provide new therapeutic targets.

Project description:Characterizing signal pathway alterations that contribute to cellular transformation induced by loss of Fhit protein Abstract: The FHIT gene, encompassing an active common fragile site, FRA3B, is frequently silenced in preneoplasia and cancer, through gene rearrangement or methylation of regulatory sequences. Silencing of Fhit protein expression causes thymidine kinase 1 downregulation, resulting in dNTP imbalance, and spontaneous replication stress that leads to chromosomal aberrations, allele copy number variations, insertions/deletions, and single‐base substitutions. Thus, Fhit, which is reduced in expression in the majority of human cancers, is a genome “caretaker” whose loss initiates genome instability in preneoplastic lesions. To follow the early genetic alterations and functional changes induced by Fhit loss that may recapitulate the neoplastic process in vitro, we established epithelial cell lines from kidney tissues of Fhit−/− and +/+ mouse pups early after weaning, and subjected cell cultures to nutritional and carcinogen stress, which +/+ cells did not survive. Through transcriptome profiling and protein expression analysis, we observed changes in the Trp53/p21 and survivin apoptotic pathways in −/− cells, and in expression of proteins involved in epithelial–mesenchymal transition. Some Fhit‐deficient cell lines showed anchorage‐independent colony formation and increased invasive capacity in vitro. Furthermore, cells of stressed Fhit−/− cell lines formed s.c. and metastatic tumors in nude mice. Collectively, we show that Fhit loss and subsequent thymidine kinase 1 inactivation, combined with selective pressures, leads to neoplasia‐associated alterations in genes and gene expression patterns in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Activating mutations in ERBB receptors act as oncogenes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Besides the more prevalent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations, oncogenic variants in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) occur in approximately 2% of NSCLC patients. HER2 oncogenic mutations in NSCLC predominantly affect the tyrosine kinase domain and cluster in exon 20 of the ERBB2 gene. Most clinically approved and currently tested tyrosine kinase inhibitors are limited by either insufficient potency on exon 20 altered HER2 and/or their insufficient selectivity against EGFR wild type (EGFR WT) – a major cause of dose limiting toxicity. We report herein the discovery of covalent tyrosine kinase inhibitors that potently inhibit HER2 exon 20 mutants while sparing EGFR WT. The new inhibitors presented in this study reduce tumor cell survival and proliferation in vitro, and result in regressions in in vivo preclinical xenograft models of HER2 exon 20 mutant NSCLC as well as inhibition of downstream signaling. Our results suggest that HER2 exon 20 insertion driven tumors can be effectively treated by a potent and highly selective HER2 inhibitor while sparing EGFR WT. The new inhibitors described in this study pave the way for testing potent HER2 selective inhibitors in HER2 mutant NSCLC patients and may offer an additional therapeutic option for these patients.

Project description:Primary Effusion Lymphoma (PEL) is a Diffuse-Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) with poor prognosis. 100% of PEL carry the genome of Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and approximately half are co-infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). We profiled genomic aberrations in PEL using the Affymetrix 6.0 SNP array. This identified for the first time individual genes that are altered in PEL. 10/13 (76%) samples were deleted for both the fragile site tumor suppressors WWOX and FHIT. Alterations were also observed in: DERL1, ETV1, RASA4, TPK1, TRIM56 and VPS41 genes, which are yet to be characterized for their roles in cancer. Co-infection with EBV was associated with significantly fewer gross genomic aberrations. PEL could be segregated into EBV positive and EBV negative clusters on the basis of host chromosome alterations. The genomic signature of PEL cells in culture was analogous to those explanted from xenograft tumors. This suggests a model in which both host and virus contribute to the PEL phenotype. 17 samples (no replicates) were analyzed using Partek Genomic Suite software

Project description:Purpose: Generate genome-wide methylation profiles of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) and their matching lung tissues for detection of hypermethylated and hypomethylated regions present in the tumors. Methods: MethylCapture followed by next-generation sequencing (Illumina GAIIx) of 7 nsclc tumor samples and paired lung tissues in replicated, plus one cell line, 2 fully artificially methylated and 2 fully artificially unmethylated controls. Normalization of methylation reads based on CpG coupling factor–method. Relative methylation scores (rms) in 500bp non-overlapping windows. 90th percentile of rpm (reads per million) values for all 500bp genome-wide windows, with rpm <1.33 were considered. Distributions of 10bp bins rms values within each 500bp genomic region were compared using both one-sided Student’s t-test and one-sided Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Testing was done separately for hypo- and hypermethylation and p-value threshold of 10-18. Results: MethylCap-seq data revealed strong positive correlation between replicate experiments and between paired tumor/lung samples. 14472 differentially methylated regions (DMR) with non-overlapping 500 bp windows were found. 57 DMRs were present in all NSCLC tumors. 287 were unique for squamous-cell carcinomas and 26 unique for adenocarcinomas. While hypomethylated DMRs did not correlate to any particular functional category of genes, the hypermethylated DMRs were strongly associated with genes encoding transcriptional regulators. Furthermore, subtelomeric regions and satellite repeats were hypomethylated in the NSCLC samples. Conclusion: We provide a resource containing genome-wide DNA methylation maps of NSCLC and their paired lung tissues, and comprehensive lists of known and novel DMRs and associated genes in NSCLC. The DMRs can be in further studies to develop sensitive biological markers for NSCLC, which may enable non-invasive diagnosis and early detection of the disease, and potentially allow histological classification. MethylCap-seq of 7 nsclc tumor samples and paired lung tissues, plus 2 fully methylated and 2 fully unmethylated controls.

Project description:We applied whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to define a comprehensive genetic profile of 23 esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) primary tumor biopsies based on loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and DNA copy number changes. Alterations were common, averaging 97 (range 23-208) per tumor. LOH and gains averaged 33 (range 3-83) and 31 (range 11-73) per tumor, respectively. Copy neutral LOH events averaged 27 (range 7-57) per EAC. We noted 126 homozygous deletions (HDs) across the EAC panel (range 0-11 in individual tumors). Frequent HDs within FHIT (17/23), WWOX (8/23) and DMD (6/23) suggest a role for common fragile sites or genomic instability in EAC etiology. HDs were also noted for known tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) including: CDKN2A, CDKN2B, SMAD4 and GALR1, and identified PDE4D and MGC48628 as potentially novel TSGs. All tumors showed LOH for most of chromosome 17p, suggesting that TSGs other than TP53 maybe targeted. Frequent gains were noted around MYC (13/23), BCL9 (12/23), CTAGE1 (14/23) and ZNF217 (12/23). Thus, we have confirmed previous reports indicating frequent changes to FHIT, CDKN2A, TP53 and MYC in EAC and identified additional genes of interest. Meta analysis of previous genome-wide EAC studies together with the data presented here, highlighted consistent regions of gain on 8q, 18q and 20q, and multiple LOH regions on 4q, 5q, 17p and 18q, suggesting that more than one gene may be targeted on each of these chromosome arms. The focal gains and deletions documented here are a step towards identifying the key genes involved in EAC development. Keywords: High Density SNP array Here we use Illumina 317K whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays to define a comprehensive allelotype of melanoma based on loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and copy number changes in a panel of 23 esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) primary tumor biopsies. Each EAC was paired to normal squamous biopsy from 40328 (GSM266078) to generate the log_R_ratio.
