PTEN-L induce PTEN-null tumor cells dormancy but lung outgrowth.

ABSTRACT: PTEN is one of the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor genes, its loss has been reported in multiple tumor types and is associated with a poor outcome. PTEN-L, as a secreted isoform of PTEN, with the ability to enter cells and inhibit tumor cell growth via inhibiting AKT mediated cell proliferation. However, the distinct effect of PTEN-L on PTEN-expression or PTEN-loss tumor cells is not known yet. Here, we identified PTEN-L treatment facilitate E0771-PTEN-null tumor cells, but not PTEN-wide-type tumor cells lung outgrowth. RNA-seq and Western blot analysis suggest PTEN-L stimulation induced PTEN-null tumor cells dormancy, namely, upregulation of dormancy markers p16 and p27, cell cycle arrest, reduced cell proliferation and chemotherapy drugs resistance. Further study suggested PTEN-L mediated p38 signaling activation play the major role for PTEN-null tumor cell dormancy. The p38 inhibitor, SB202190 significantly reversed the PTEN-L induced PTEN-null tumor cells dormancy and outgrowth in lungs. Further investigation indicated the dormant PTEN-null tumor cells could escape from immunosurveillance and thus outgrowth in lungs, as PTEN-L did not promote PTEN-null tumor cells outgrowth in lung of SCID mice. Therefore, we propose that PTEN-L protects PTEN-null tumor cells from immune attack during lung metastasis via activating dormancy related pathways. This study identified PTEN-L as an activator of PTEN-loss tumor cells dormancy, which enables the efficient seeding and outgrowth of tumor cells in metastatic niches. Overall, we highlight PTEN expression status decides the outcome of PTEN-L mediated anti-tumor therapy.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly lethal brain tumor presenting as one of two subtypes with distinct clinical histories and molecular profiles. The primary GBM subtype presents acutely as high-grade disease that typically harbors EGFR, PTEN and Ink4a/Arf mutations, and the secondary GBM subtype evolves from the slow progression of low-grade disease that classically possesses PDGF and p53 events1. Here, we show that concomitant CNS-specific deletion of p53 and Pten in the mouse CNS generates a penetrant acute-onset high-grade malignant glioma phenotype with striking clinical, pathological and molecular resemblance to primary GBM in humans. This genetic observation prompted p53 and PTEN mutational analysis in human primary GBM, demonstrating unexpectedly frequent inactivating mutations of p53 as well the expected PTEN mutations. Integrated transcriptomic profling, in silico promoter analysis and functional studies of murine neural stem cells (NSCs) established that dual, but not singular, inactivation of p53 and Pten promotes an undifferentiated state with high renewal potential and drives elevated c-Myc levels and its associated signature. Functional studies validated increased c-Myc activity as a potent contributor to the impaired differentiation and enhanced renewal of p53-Pten null NSCs as well as tumor neurospheres (TNSs) derived from this model. c-Myc also serves to maintain robust tumorigenic potential of p53-Pten null TNSs. These murine modeling studies, together with confirmatory transcriptomic/promoter studies in human primary GBM, validate a pathogenetic role of a common tumor suppressor mutation profile in human primary GBM and establish c-Myc as a key target for cooperative actions of p53 and Pten in the regulation of normal and malignant stem/progenitor cell differentiation, self-renewal and tumorigenic potential. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression difference of the p53-null and p53/Pten-doubly null neural stem cell after differentiation . Experiment Overall Design: transcriptome comparisons of 2 independent p53-null with 3 p53/Pten double-null murine NSCs at 1 day post exposure to the differentiation inducer.
