Project description:Background: Survivin was described as strongly expressed in human cancer. To date, little is known about the association between Survivin splice variants and the other apoptosis-related genes. In this study, we analyzed the apoptosis gene signature of Survivin and its variant expression in breast cancer. Methods: Expression of the 5 transcripts was measured by RT-PCR in 135 breast carcinomas. Human Apoptosis Gene Arrays were used to screen the genes that could be associated with Survivin variants. Cox survival analysis was analyzed according to the breast cancer patient outcome. Results: Significant associations between Survivin transcript and the apoptotic gene array were found. Interestingly, Survivin-3B variant showed major inverse correlations with the pro-apoptotic gene array. Overexpression of Survivin-3B strongly inhibits 5-fluorouracil/epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide induced-apoptosis in breast tumor cell lines. In breast carcinomas, uni- and multivariate analysis showed patients with high level of survivin-3B expression had a shorter overall (p=0.030 and p=0.042, respectively) and disease-free (p=0.024 and p=0.009) survival. Conclusion: Our data indicate Survivin-3B could have an anti-apoptotic activity and its expression level might be used as a prognostic marker in breast carcinoma. The expression of 96 apoptosis genes and was analyzed in 41 breast carcinomas and 1 pool of normal mammary tissues. In parallel, every survivin isoform expression was quantified by real-time quantitative PCR. Data obtained with the macro-array were correlated with survivin isoform levels detected by RT-PCR.

Project description:The liver possesses remarkable regenerative capacity in response to injury. Upon partial hepatectomy (PHx), terminally differentiated hepatocytes in the remaining liver enter the cell cycle and restore the liver mass and function within weeks. However, liver regeneration is often impaired in livers with chronic diseases. Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) and member of chromosome passenger complex (CPC), plays versatile roles in cell mitosis and apoptosis. We and others found that the expression of Survivin was highly increased in liver during PHx-induced liver regeneration, which indicated that Survivin played important roles in this process. However, the function of Survivin in liver regeneration remains largely undefined. Here, using mice with genetic deletion of Survivin, we found that during PHx-induced liver regeneration Survivin regulated both hepatocyte G1/S phase transition by inhibiting the expression of p21 and G2/M phase transition by regulating the localization of CPC. Moreover, restoration of Survivin expression in Survivin-deficient hepatocytes inhibited p21 expression and promote both hepatocyte G1/S and G2/M transition during PHx-induced liver regeneration.

Project description:There is increasing evidence that microRNA and transcription factors interact in an instructive fashion in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. We explored the impact of TEL-AML1 (ETV6-RUNX1), the most common fusion protein in childhood leukemia, on miRNA expression and the leukemic phenotype. Using RNA interference, miRNA expression arrays, and quantitative PCR, we identified miRNA-494 and miRNA-320a to be upregulated upon TEL-AML1 silencing independently of TEL expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis identified miRNA-494 as a direct miRNA target of the fusion protein TEL-AML1. Using bioinformatic analysis as well as functional luciferase experiments we demonstrate that survivin is a target of the two miRNAs. MiRNA-494 and -320a were introduced to the cells by transfection and survivin expression determined by western blot analysis. These miRNAs blocked survivin expression and resulted in apoptosis in a similar manner as TEL-AML1 silencing by itself; this silencing was also shown to be DICER-dependent. MiRNAs-494 and -320a are expressed at lower levels in TEL-AML1+ leukemias compared to immunophenotype-matched non-TEL-AML1 ALL subtypes, and within TEL-AML1+ leukemias their expression is correlated to survivin levels. In summary our data suggest that TEL-AML1 might exert its anti-apoptotic action at least in part by suppressing miRNA-494 and miRNA-320a, lowering their expression causing enhanced survivin expression. DNAs from REH cells were pulled down using ChIP antibodies to TEL and hybridized to microRNA promoter tiling arrays.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a deadly cancer lacking efficacious therapies. Latest studies show that cellular senescence and inflammation play key roles in HCC development, likely reflecting its etiological nature of chronic infection. A better understanding of these intertwined processes would facilitate development of therapies for malignant HCCs. Here, we show that malignant HCCs are drastically reduced after deletion of Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis protein. Survivin deficiency induces mitosis defect-caused metabolism reprogram and senescence in HCC cells. Survivin additionally protects both senescent and neighboring non-senescent cancer cells from cell death triggered by senescence-associated inflammatory factor TNFα. Importantly, combination of mitosis inhibitor and pro-apoptosis drug, but not alone, synergistically eliminates HCCs, recapitulating the therapeutic effect of genetic deletion of Survivin. By uncovering the role of Survivin in controlling the interaction of senescence and inflammation responses, our findings propose a strategy for HCC therapy by inducing senescence and boosting TNFα-mediated cell death.

Project description:Esophageal cancer is one of the most common cancers where TP53 is mutated frequently. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the major subtype of esophageal cancer, and is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. ESCC evolves often to lung metastasis, which is associated with a dismal prognosis. P53R175H (homologous to Trp53R172H in mice) is a common hot spot mutation. How metastasis is regulated by p53R175H in ESCC, or cancers in general, remains to be elucidated. To investigate p53R175H mediated molecular mechanisms, we utilized germline Trp53R172H/- mice, and generated esophageal specific Trp53-/- mice and Trp53+/+ mice treated with the 4-NQO esophageal-specific carcinogen (a common exposure in humans) to model ESCC. In the primary Trp53R172H/- tumor cell lines established from these mouse models, we depleted Trp53R172H (shTrp53) and observed a marked reduction in cell invasion in vitro and lung metastasis burden in a tail-vein injection model in comparing isogenic cells (shCtrl). Furthermore, to understand the molecular basis for mutant p53 driven lung metastasis, we performed bulk RNA-seq to compare gene expression profiles of metastatic and primary shCtrl and shTrp53 cells. We performed Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and identified the YAP-BIRC5 axis as a potential mediator of Trp53R172H mediated metastasis. As a target gene of YAP, BIRC5 encodes an anti-apoptotic protein, namely survivin. We demonstrate that survivin expression increases in the presence of Trp53R172H but not wild-type Trp53. Furthermore, depletion of survivin decreases Trp53R172H driven lung metastasis. Mechanistically, Trp53R172H but not wild-type Trp53, binds with YAP in ESCC cells, suggesting their cooperation to induce survivin expression. Furthermore, survivin high expression level is associated with increased metastasis in several GI cancer, suggesting that survivin may be a key regulator to metastasis. Taken together, this study unravels new insights into how mutant p53 mediates metastasis.

Project description:Humans vary markedly in their propensity to develop asthma, despite often being exposed to similar environmental stimuli. Similarly, mouse strains vary in susceptibility to airways pathology in experimental asthma. Sensitization and aerosol challenge with ovalbumin (OVA) induces eosinophil accumulation, mucus production and airways obstruction in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. In contrast, CBA/Ca mice show relatively little pathology. Allergen-induced production of IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IFN-g was detected in all three strains, with BALB/c mice generating the highest levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10. Microarray analysis was used to identify genes differentially regulated in lung tissue after OVA challenge. Differentially regulated genes in the lungs of the asthma-susceptible C57BL/6 and BALB/c strains numbered 242 and 145, respectively, whereas only 42 genes were differentially expressed in the resistant CBA/Ca strain. In C57BL/6 mice, transcripts were enriched for adhesion molecules and this was associated with high levels of eosinophil recruitment. Differentially regulated genes in the lungs of only the asthma-susceptible strains numbered 64 and several of these have not previously been associated with asthma. Many of the genes differentially regulated in the susceptible strains were enzymes involved in inflammation. Using network analysis, mRNA for the anti-apoptotic protein survivin was found to be up-regulated in the lungs following allergen challenge. Survivin mRNA and protein were also expressed at high levels in eosinophils recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage from BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. We propose that rapid apoptosis of lung eosinophils due to low expression of survivin contributes to the limitation of pathology in CBA/Ca mice Humans vary markedly in their propensity to develop asthma, despite often being exposed to similar environmental stimuli.
