Mutant APC reshapes plasma membrane cholesterol-dependent Wnt proteolipid condensate structure-function and feedforward oncogenic β-catenin signaling

ABSTRACT: Although the role of the Wnt pathway in colon carcinogenesis has been described previously, it has been recently demonstrated that Wnt signaling originates from highly dynamic nano-assemblies at the plasma membrane. However, little is known regarding the role of oncogenic APC in reshaping Wnt nanodomains. This is noteworthy, because oncogenic APC does not act autonomously and requires activation of Wnt effectors upstream of APC to drive aberrant Wnt signaling. Here, we demonstrate the role of oncogenic APC in increasing plasma membrane free cholesterol and rigidity, thereby modulating Wnt signaling hubs. This results in an overactivation of Wnt signaling in the colon. Finally, using the Drosophila sterol auxotroph model, we demonstrate the unique ability of exogenous free cholesterol to disrupt plasma membrane homeostasis and drive Wnt signaling in a wildtype APC background. Collectively, these findings provide a mechanistic link between oncogenic APC, loss of plasma membrane homeostasis and CRC development.

Human colon organoids reveal distinct physiologic and oncogenic Wnt responses

Project description:Constitutive Wnt activation upon loss of Adenoma polyposis coli (APC) acts as main driver of colorectal cancers (CRC). Targeting Wnt signaling has proven difficult because the pathway is crucial for homeostasis and stem cell renewal. To distinguish oncogenic from physiologic Wnt activity, we have performed transcriptome and proteome profiling in isogenic human colon organoids. Culture in the presence or absence of exogenous ligand allowed us to discriminate receptor-mediated signaling from the effects of CRISPR/Cas9 induced APC loss. We could catalogue two non-overlapping molecular signatures that were stable at distinct levels of stimulation. Newly identified markers for normal stem/progenitor cells and adenomas were validated by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. We found that oncogenic Wnt signals are associated with good prognosis in tumors of the consensus molecular subtype 2 (CMS2). In contrast, receptor-mediated signaling was linked to CMS4 tumors and poor prognosis. Together, our data represent a valuable resource for biomarkers that allow more precise stratification of Wnt responses in CRC.

DICKKOPF-1 locates in the nucleus of human differentiated epithelial intestinal and mammary cells and regulates gene expression

Project description:Wnt/b-catenin pathway is a key modulator of intestinal homeostasis by regulating stem cell biology during gut organogenesis and in adult life. DICKKOPF (DKK)-1 is a secreted inhibitor of Wnt/b-catenin signaling from plasma membrane receptors. We found that in human intestine, DKK-1 locates within the nucleus of differentiated enterocytes and enteroendocrine cells but not of proliferating and stem cells at the bottom of the crypts. DKK-1 is also nuclear in colon cancer cells locating at sites of active gene transcription. ChIP-seq and transcriptomic analysis both confirmed that DKK-1 binds chromatin and regulates gene expression. Thus, we demonstrate that DKK-1 is a multifunctional protein that inhibits Wnt/b-catenin signaling at plasma membrane and controls specific genes in the nucleus, suggesting that these functions are relevant for intestinal homeostasis. Analysis of DKK-1 location and associated roles in human colon cancer cells and crypts of small and large bowel.

RNF43 truncations trap CK1 to drive niche-independent self-renewal in cancer

Project description:Wnt/b-catenin signaling is a primary pathway for stem cell maintenance during tissue renewal and a frequent target for mutations in cancer. Impaired Wnt receptor endocytosis due to loss of the ubiquitin ligase RNF43 gives rise to Wnt-hypersensitive tumors that are susceptible to anti-Wnt-based therapy. Contrary to this paradigm, we identify a class of RNF43 truncating cancer mutations that induce b-catenin-mediated transcription, despite exhibiting retained Wnt receptor downregulation. These mutations interfere with an ubiquitin-independent suppressor role of the RNF43 cytosolic tail that involves casein kinase-1 (CK1) binding and phosphorylation. Mechanistically, truncated RNF43 variants trap CK1 at the plasma membrane, thereby preventing b-catenin turnover and propelling ligandindependent target gene transcription. Gene editing of human colon stem cells shows that RNF43 truncations cooperate with p53 loss to drive a niche-independent program for self-renewal and proliferation. Moreover, these RNF43 variants confer decreased sensitivity to anti-Wnt-based therapy. Our data demonstrate the relevance of studying patient-derived mutations for understanding disease mechanisms and improved applications of precision medicine.

Apc restoration promotes cellular differentiation and reestablishes crypt homeostasis in colorectal cancer

Project description:The Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) tumor suppressor is mutated in the vast majority of human colorectal cancers (CRC) and leads to deregulated Wnt signaling. To determine whether Apc disruption is required for tumor maintenance, we developed a mouse model of CRC whereby Apc can be conditionally suppressed using a doxycycline-regulated shRNA. Apc suppression produces adenomas in both the small intestine and colon that, in the presence of Kras and p53 mutations, can progress to invasive carcinoma. In established tumors, Apc restoration drives rapid and widespread tumor-cell differentiation and sustained regression without relapse. Tumor regression is accompanied by the re-establishment of normal crypt-villus homeostasis, such that once aberrantly proliferating cells reacquire self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capability. Our study reveals that CRC cells can revert to functioning normal cells given appropriate signals, and provide compelling in vivo validation of the Wnt pathway as a therapeutic target for treatment of CRC Analysis of RNA isolated from colon polyps that presented in shAPC or shAPC/Kras mice as compared to shRenilla (neutral) mouse colon mucosa

Phenotypic heterogeneity analysis of APC-mutant colon cancer by proteomics and phosphoproteomics identifies RAI14 as a key prognostic determinant

Project description:Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is an important tumor suppressor and most directly related to the regulation of WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway. APC mutation has been identified as an early event in more than 80% of sporadic colorectal cancers (CRCs). However, obvious prognostic differences are observed in CRC patients with APC mutations. Although previous genomics has investigated the roles of concomitant gene mutations in determining the phenotypic heterogeneity of APC-mutant tumors, valuable prognostic determinants for APC-mutant CRC patients are still lacking. By using combined proteome and phosphoproteome, we classified the APC-mutant colon cancer patients and revealed the genomic, proteomic and phosphoproteomic heterogeneity in APC-mutant tumors. Of importance, we identified RAI14 as a key prognostic determinant for APC-mutant colon cancer patients, but not for APC-wildtype colon cancer patients. The heterogeneity and prognostic biomarkers in APC-mutant tumors were further confirmed in Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) colon cancer cohort. In addition, we found that knockdown of RAI14 in cell lines led to reduced cell migration and changes in some epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers. Mechanistically, knockdown of RAI14 was able to remodel the phosphoproteome associated with cell adhesion, which might promote F-action degradation and alter the expression of certain EMT markers. Collectively, this work describes the phenotypic heterogeneity of APC-mutant tumors and identifies the prognostic determinants for APC-mutant colon cancer patients. The prognostic utility of RAI14 in APC-mutant colon cancer will provide early warning and increase the chance of successful treatment.
