Project description:Cell-cell communication in multicellular organisms depends on the dynamic and reversible phosphorylation of protein tyrosine residues. The receptor-linked protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) receive cues from the extracellular environment and are well placed to influence cell signaling. However, the direct events downstream of these receptors have been challenging to resolve. We report here that the homophilic receptor PTPRK is stabilized at cell-cell contacts in epithelial cells. By combining interaction studies, quantitative tyrosine phosphoproteomics, proximity labelling and dephosphorylation assays we identify high confidence PTPRK substrates. PTPRK directly and selectively dephosphorylates at least five substrates, including Afadin, PARD3 and -catenin family members, which are all important cellcell adhesion regulators. In line with this, loss of PTPRK phosphatase activity leads to disrupted cell junctions and increased invasive characteristics. Thus, identifying PTPRK substrates provides insight into its downstream signaling and a potential molecular explanation for its proposed tumor suppressor function.

Project description:Background: E-cadherin is an adherens junction protein that forms homophilic intercellular contacts in epithelial cells while also interacting with the intracellular cytoskeletal networks. It has roles including establishment and maintenance of cell polarity, differentiation, migration and signalling in cell proliferation pathways. Its downregulation is commonly observed in epithelial tumours and is a hallmark of the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Methods: To improve our understanding of how E-cadherin loss contributes to tumorigenicity, we investigated the impact of its elimination from the non-tumorigenic breast cell line MCF10A. We performed cell-based assays and whole genome RNAseq to characterize an isogenic MCF10A cell line that is devoid of CDH1 expression due to an engineered homozygous 4bp deletion in CDH1 exon 11. Results: The E-cadherin-deficient line, MCF10A CDH1-/- showed subtle morphological changes, weaker cell-substrate adhesion, delayed migration, but retained cell-cell contact, contact growth inhibition and anchorage-dependent growth. Within the cytoskeleton, the apical microtubule network in the CDH1-deficient cells lacked the radial pattern of organization present in the MCF10A cells and F-actin formed thicker, more numerous stress fibres in the basal part of the cell. Whole genome RNAseq identified compensatory changes in the genes involved in cell-cell adhesion while genes involved in cell-substrate adhesion, notably ITGA1, COL8A1, COL4A2 and COL12A1, were significantly downregulated. Key EMT markers including CDH2, FN1, VIM and VTN were not upregulated although increased expression of proteolytic matrix metalloprotease and kallikrein genes was observed. Conclusions: Overall, our results demonstrated that E-cadherin loss alone was insufficient to induce an EMT or enhance transforming potential in the non-tumorigenic MCF10A cells but was associated with broad transcriptional changes associated with tissue remodelling. Examination of the impact of E-cadherin (CDH1) loss in an isogenic pair of breast cell lines.

Project description:Hypoxia regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells. However, the mechanism underlying hypoxia-mediated EMT remains largely unknow. Here, utilizing colorectal cell carcinoma (CRC) as a model, we find that HUNK inhibits EMT and suppresses metastasis of CRC cells via its substrate GEF-H1 in a kinase-dependent manner. Mechanistically, HUNK directly phosphorylates GEF-H1 at ser645 site, which activates RhoA and consequently leads to a cascade of phosphorylation of LIMK1/CFL-1, thereby stabilizing F-actin and inhibiting EMT. Moreover, hypoxia suppresses HUNK activity and dephosphorylates GEF-H1 to promote EMT. Clinically, the expression levels of both HUNK and phosphorylation of GEH-H1 ser645 are not only downregulated in CRC tissues with metastasis compared to that without metastasis, but also positively correlated among these tissues. Our findings highlight the importance of hypoxia-regulated HUNK kinase activity and phosphorylation of GEF-H1 in regulation of EMT and metastasis of CRC.

Project description:Epithelial/mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with loss of cell adhesion molecules, such as E-cadherin, and increased invasion, migration, and proliferation in epithelial cancers. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EMT is associated with greater resistance to EGFR inhibitors. However, its potential to predict response to other targeted drugs or chemotherapy has not been well characterized. The goal of this study was to develop a robust, platform-independent EMT gene expression signature and to investigate the association of EMT and drug response in NSCLC. A 76-gene EMT signature was derived in 54 DNA-fingerprinted NSCLC cell lines and tested in an independent set of cell lines and in NSCLC patients from the BATTLE clinical trial. The signature classified cell lines as epithelial or mesenchymal independent of the microarray platform and correlated strongly with E-cadherin protein levels, as measured by reverse phase protein array. Higher protein expression of Rab25 (in epithelial lines) and Axl (in mesenchymal lines), two signature genes associated with in EMT in other cancer types, was also confirmed. Mesenchymal cell lines demonstrated significantly greater resistance to EGFR inhibition, independent of EGFR mutation status and were more resistant to drugs targeting the PI3K/Akt pathway. We observed no association between EMT and response to cytotoxic chemotherapies, including cisplatin, pemetrexed, and docetaxel monotherapy and/or doublets (p-values ?0.2). In NSCLC patients, the EMT signature predicted 8-week disease control in the erlotinib arm, but not in other treatment arms. In conclusion, we have developed a robust EMT signature that predicts resistance to EGFR inhibitors and PI3K/Akt pathway inhibitors. To develop gene expression signatures for in vitro drug response and other phenotypes. Profiling was done on 68 NSCLC cell lines and 2 HBEC-KT cell lines (normal lung cells immortalized with CDK4 and hTERT).

Project description:Fat accumulation, de novo lipogenesis, and glycolysis are key contributors to hepatocyte reprogramming and the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The molecular mechanisms affected by steatosis and inflammation in the obese states remain unknown. Here we report that obesity leads to dysregulated expression of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in the liver. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Kappa (PTPRK) was increased in hepatocytes by steatosis and inflammation in humans and mice, and positively correlates with PPARγ-induced lipogenic signalling. Mechanistically, PTPRK-PPARγ upregulation by fat accumulation is dependent upon Notch signalling in mouse primary hepatocytes. PTPRK knockout mice have reduced fat accumulation in adipose tissue and liver after exposure to an obesogenic diet. Phosphoproteomic analysis in isolated hepatocytes and hepatic metabolomics identified specific phosphotyrosine residues in fructose-1,6 bisphosphatase-1 and glycolysis regulation as targets of PTPRK. These changes in glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis revealed PTPRK-dependent metabolic reprogramming in hepatocytes. Moreover, hepatoma cell lines showed reduced colony-forming ability after PTPRK silencing in vitro, and PTPRK knockout mice developed smaller tumours after diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in vivo. Computational modelling identified potential PTPRK inhibitors, which selectively reduced PTPRK activity. The compounds decreased glycolytic rates in hepatoma cell lines, PPARγ expression in primary hepatocytes and steatosis in obese mice. In conclusion, our study defines a novel mechanism for the development of MASLD, revealing a key role of PTPRK on hepatic glycolysis regulation with implications in lipid metabolism, and liver tumour development. We propose PTPRK as a potential target for metabolic liver dysfunction, and the identified inhibitors may represent promising candidates for therapy in obesity-associated liver diseases.

Project description:The mechanisms of ErbB2 signalling and the effects of its overexpression are not fully understood. Herein, SILAC expression profiling and phosphopeptide enrichment of a relevant, non-transformed, immortalized human mammary luminal epithelial cell model were used to profile ErbB2-dependent differences in protein expression and phosphorylation events triggered via EGFR (EGF treatment) and ErbB3 (HRGbeta1 treatment) in the context of ErbB2 overexpression. Bioinformatics analysis was used to infer changes in cellular processes and signalling events. We demonstrate the complexity of the responses to oncogene expression and growth factor signalling and identify protein changes relevant to ErbB2-dependent altered cellular phenotype, in particular cell cycle progression and hyper-proliferation, reduced adhesion and enhanced motility. Numerous novel sites of growth factor-regulated phosphorylation were also identified that were enhanced by ErbB2 overexpression and we putatively link these to altered cell behaviour. Moreover, we have defined a novel mechanism by which ErbB signalling suppresses basal interferon signalling that would promote the survival and proliferation of mammary luminal epithelial cells.

We used the BATTLE dataset to test an EMT gene expression signature trained in cell lines and independant of the microarray platform.

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction within the liver is a major cause of human disease worldwide. Fat accumulation, de novo lipogenesis, and glycolysis are key drivers of hepatocyte reprogramming and the consequent metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The underpinning molecular mechanisms affected by steatosis and inflammation in the obese states remain unknown. Here we report that obesity leads to dysregulated expression of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in the liver. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Kappa (PTPRK) expression was increased in hepatocytes during steatosis and inflammation in humans and mice, and positively correlates with PPARγ-induced lipogenic signalling.

Phosphoproteomic analysis in primary hepatocytes and hepatic metabolomics identified specific phosphotyrosine residues in fructose-1,6 bisphosphatase-1 and glycolysis regulation as targets of PTPRK. The changes in glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis revealed PTPRK was a driving force for metabolic reprogramming in hepatocytes. Moreover, hepatoma cell lines showed reduced colony-forming ability after PTPRK silencing in vitro, and PTPRK knockout mice developed smaller tumours after diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in vivo. Through computational modelling, we identified selective PTPRK inhibitors. These compounds decreased glycolytic rates in hepatoma cell lines, PPARγ expression in primary hepatocytes and steatosis in obese mice. In conclusion, our study defines a novel mechanism for the development of MASLD, revealing a key role of PTPRK on hepatic glycolysis regulation with implications in lipid metabolism, and liver tumour development. We propose PTPRK as a potential target for metabolic liver dysfunction, and the identified inhibitors may represent promising candidates for therapy in obesity-associated liver diseases.
