Project description:We performed RNA-seq analysis using different prostate cancer cell lines (PC3 and 22Rv1) after morusin treatment. We reported that morusin regulates Akt/mTOR pathway-associated genes in PC3 and 22Rv1 cells. Morusin induces apoptosis and suppresses cell cycle progression, cell migration and invasion in PC3 and 22Rv1 cells.

Project description:Activation and transcriptional reprograming of AR in advanced prostate cancer frequently overlaps with the loss of two tumor suppressors, INPP4B and PTEN, which are highly expressed in human and mouse prostate epithelium. While regulation of AR signaling by PTEN has been described by multiple groups, it is not known whether the loss of INPP4B affects AR activity. Using prostate cancer cell lines we showed that INPP4B regulates AR transcriptional activity and oncogenic signaling pathways Akt and PKC. Analysis of gene expression in prostate cancer patient cohorts showed a positive correlation between INPP4B expression and both AR mRNA levels and AR transcriptional output. Using an Inpp4b-/- mouse model, we demonstrated that INPP4B suppresses Akt and PKC signaling pathways and modulates AR transcriptional activity in normal mouse prostate. It has been previously shown that the high fat diet activates Akt pathway in mouse prostate. We showed that the loss of INPP4B further increases Akt phosphorylation in dorsolateral and ventral lobes of mice fed with the high fat diet. Remarkably, PTEN protein levels and phosphorylation of S380 were the same in Inpp4b-/- and WT males, suggesting that observed changes were due exclusively to the loss of INPP4B. Our data show that INPP4B modulates AR activity in normal prostate and its loss contributes to the AR-dependent transcriptional profile in prostate cancer.

Project description:The PIP3/PI3K network is a central regulator of metabolism and is frequently activated in cancer, commonly by loss of the PIP3/PI(3,4)P2-phosphatase, PTEN. Despite huge investment, the drivers of the PI3K network in normal tissues and how they adapt to overactivation are unclear. We find that in healthy mouse prostate PI3K activity is driven by RTK/IRS signalling and constrained by pathway-feedback. In the absence of PTEN, the network is dramatically remodelled. A poorly understood, YXXM- and PIP3/PI(3,4)P2-binding PH domain-containing, adaptor, PLEKHS1, became the dominant activator and was required to sustain PIP3, AKT-phosphorylation and growth in PTEN-null prostate. This was because PLEKHS1 evaded pathway-feedback and experienced enhanced PI3K- and SRC-family kinase-dependent phosphorylation of Y258XXM, eliciting PI3K-activation. hPLEKHS1-mRNA and activating-Y419-phosphorylation of hSRC correlated with PI3K-pathway activity in human prostate cancers. We propose that in PTEN-null cells, receptor-independent, SRC-dependent tyrosine-phosphorylation of PLEKHS1 creates positive-feedback that escapes homeostasis, drives PIP3-signalling and supports tumour progression.

Project description:PTEN loss or PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation correlates with human prostate cancer progression and metastasis. However, in preclinical murine models, deletion of Pten alone fails to mimic the significant metastatic burden that frequently accompanies the end stage of human disease. To identify additional pathway alterations that cooperate with PTEN loss in prostate cancer progression, we surveyed human prostate cancer tissue microarrays and found that the RAS/MAPK pathway is significantly elevated both in primary and metastatic lesions. In an attempt to model this event, we crossed conditional activatable K-rasG12D/WT mice with the prostate conditional Pten deletion model we previously generated. Although RAS activation alone cannot initiate prostate cancer development, it significantly accelerated progression caused by PTEN loss, accompanied by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and macrometastasis with 100% penitence. A novel stem/progenitor subpopulation with mesenchymal characteristics was isolated from the compound mutant prostates, which was highly metastatic upon orthotopic transplantation. Importantly, inhibition of RAS/MAPK signaling by PD325901, a MEK inhibitor, significantly reduced the metastatic progression initiated from transplanted stem/progenitor cells. Collectively, these data indicate that activation of RAS/MAPK signaling serves as a potentiating second hit to alteration of the PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis and co-targeting both pathways is highly effective in preventing the development of metastatic prostate cancers. Murine mutants with prostate specific loss of Pten and K-ras activation (K-rasG12D) under regulation of the probasin promoter developed high grade, invasive prostate cancer. RNA was extracted from dissected prostate lobes from individual mutants with pathology thought to closely mimic human disease. Prostate tissue was subject to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix cDNA microarrays.

Project description:Alteration of the PTEN/PI3K pathway is associated with late stage and castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, how PTEN loss involves in CRPC development is not clear. Here we show that castration-resistant growth is an intrinsic property of Pten-null prostate cancer (CaP) cells, independent of cancer development stage.PTEN loss suppresses androgen-responsive gene expressions by modulating androgen receptor (AR) transcription factor activity. Conditional deletion of AR in the epithelium promotes the proliferation of Pten-null cancer cells, at least in part, by down-regulating androgen-responsive gene FKBP5 and preventing PHLPP-mediated AKT inhibition. Our findings identify PI3K and AR pathway crosstalk as a mechanism of CRPC development, with potentially important implications for CaP etiology and therapy

Project description:Hyper-activation of the PI 3-Kinase/ AKT pathway is a driving force of many cancers. Here we identify the AKT-inactivating phosphatase PHLPP1 as a prostate tumor suppressor. We show that Phlpp1-loss causes neoplasia and, upon partial Pten-loss, carcinoma in mouse prostate. This genetic setting initially triggers a growth suppressive response via p53 and the Phlpp2 ortholog, and reveals spontaneous Trp53 inactivation as a condition for full-blown disease. Surprisingly, the co-deletion of PTEN and PHLPP1 in patient samples is highly restricted to metastatic disease and tightly correlated to deletion of TP53 and PHLPP2. These data establish a conceptual framework for progression of PTEN-mutant prostate cancer to life-threatening disease. To better assess the role of Phlpp in prostate we performed micorarray analysis of gene expression in the WT and Pten+/-; Phlpp1-/- mice.

Cells were treated with 2 ug/ml doxycycline for 24 or 48 hours in tet-free FBS (5%)/MEF media (n=2). Reference samples were either cells before treatment (n=2). After each time point cells were washed twice with PBS and RNA trizol extracted. WT samples (n =2) were also included as a control.

Project description:Purpose: Deregulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway signaling through AGC kinases including AKT, p70S6 kinase, PKA, SGK and Rho kinase, is a key driver of multiple cancers. The simultaneous inhibition of multiple AGC kinases may increase antitumor activity and minimize clinical resistance compared with a single pathway component. Experimental Design: We investigated the detailed pharmacology and antitumor activity of the novel clinical drug candidate AT13148, an oral ATP-competitive multi-AGC kinase inhibitor. Gene expression microarray studies were undertaken to characterize the molecular mechanisms of action of AT13148. Results: AT13148 caused substantial blockade of AKT, p70S6K, PKA, ROCK and SGK substrate phosphorylation and induced apoptosis in a concentration and time-dependent manner in cancer cells with clinically relevant genetic defects in vitro and in vivo. Antitumor efficacy in HER2-positive, PIK3CA-mutant BT474 breast, PTEN-deficient PC3 human prostate cancer and PTEN-deficient MES-SA uterine tumor xenografts was demonstrated. We show for the first time that induction of AKT phosphorylation at serine 473 by AT13148, as reported for other ATP-competitive inhibitors of AKT, is not a therapeutically relevant reactivation step. Gene expression studies showed that AT13148 has a predominant effect on apoptosis genes, whereas the selective AKT inhibitor CCT128930 modulates cell cycle genes. Induction of upstream regulators including IRS2 and PIK3IP1 due to compensatory feedback loops was observed. Conclusions: The clinical candidate AT13148 is a novel oral multi-AGC kinase inhibitor with potent pharmacodynamic and antitumor activity, which demonstrates a distinct mechanism of action from other AKT inhibitors. AT13148 will now be assessed in a first-in-human Phase I trial. The PTEN-deficient U87MG glioblastoma cell line was treated for 6 hours with vehicle control (DMSO) or to different concentrations of AT13148 and CCT128930 (0.1uM, 1xGI50 and 3XGI50).

Project description:Activation of the inflammatory circuits occurs frequently in cancer cells. However the molecular details linking inflammation to transformation and progression are still unknown. In this study we report for the first time, that activation of the ETS factor ESE1 is a key event connecting inflammatory signaling with prostate cancer progression. We report that ESE1 is induced upon IL-1 beta stimulation by NFKB and mediates key transcriptional changes involving cell adhesion, migration and invasion. ESE1 activation in turn induces NFKB transcriptional activation and intranuclear translocation and mediates the transforming phenotypes linked to the activation of IL-1B. Transcriptional signatures and immunohistochemistry revealed that this ESE1-NFKB regulatory circuit also operates in prostate tumors, particularly in those with significant elevation of ESE1. Thus, ESE1 promotes an inflammatory feed forward loop positively leading to prostate cancer progression. Pharmacological NFKB inhibition reverted the transformed status of ESE1 cell lines providing a rationale for context-dependent therapeutic strategies in ESE1 activated tumors. These studies find a previously unrecognized link between ETS and activation of the NFKB pathway and open new avenues for prostate cancer treatment. Gene expression analysis of a control cell line (22Rv1-pcDNA3.1) and a testing cell lines (22Rv1-ESE1), with two replicates, with dye swap, performed for each sample.
