Project description:STAT1 and IRF1 are essential effectors of the type I and II interferon (IFN) pathways. Here, we report that the oncogenic MUC1-C protein is necessary for inducing chromatin accessibility and activation of the STAT1 and IRF1 genes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Our results demonstrate that MUC1-C activates the PBRM1 subunit of the SWI/SNF PBAF chromatin remodeling complex and forms a nuclear complex with PBRM1. We show that MUC1-C associates with PBRM1 and STAT1 on the IRF1 gene at (i) a proximal enhancer-like signature (PLS), and (ii) distal enhancer-like signatures (dELSs). We also show MUC1-C and PBRM1 are necessary for opening chromatin at these signatures and for the induction of IRF1 expression. In extending these results, we found that MUC1-C binds directly to IRF1 and forms nuclear complexes with PBRM1 and IRF1, which are necessary for inducing chromatin accessibility at PLS of the (i) STAT1 gene, (ii) type II IFN pathway IDO1 and WARS genes, and (iii) type I IFN pathway RIG-I, MDA5 and ISG15 genes. Consistent with involvement of chronic inflammation in promoting the cancer stem cell (CSC) state, we show that MUC1-C, PBRM1 and IRF1 are required for self-renewal of TNBC CSCs. Of translational relevance, we report that targeting MUC1-C, PBRM1 and IRF1 circumvents intrinsic DNA damage resistance of TNBC CSCs and that MUC1-C is necessary for acquired resistance to the PARP inhibitor olaparib. These findings demonstrate that MUC1-C activates PBRM1/IRF1 and thereby chromatin remodeling of IFN pathway genes that promote chronic inflammation, the CSC state and DNA damage resistance.

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a highly aggressive malignancy of increasing prevalence with an unmet need for targeted therapeutic approaches. The oncogenic MUC1-C protein is overexpressed in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and NEPC; however, there is no known role for MUC1-C in driving lineage plasticity to these advanced PC phenotypes. The present studies demonstrate that upregulation of MUC1-C in androgen-independent (AI) PC cells suppresses androgen receptor (AR) axis signaling and induces the neural BRN2 transcription factor by a previously unrecognized MYC-mediated mechanism. MUC1-C activates the BRN2 pathway in association with induction of MYCN, EZH2 and NE differentiation markers (ASCL1, AURKA and SYP), which are linked to NEPC progression. We also show that MUC1-C suppresses the p53 pathway, induces the Yamanaka pluripotency factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC) and drives stemness. Of potential clinical relevance, targeting MUC1-C decreases PC self-renewal capacity and tumorigenicity, supporting the treatment of CRPC and NEPC with agents directed against this oncoprotein. These findings and the demonstration that MUC1-C is upregulated and associated with suppression of AR signaling, and increases in BRN2 expression and the NEPC score in PC tissues highlight the unanticipated importance of MUC1-C as a master effector of lineage plasticity in progression to advanced PC with NE features.

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a recalcitrant malignancy associated with dysregulation of MYC signaling and the CDK-RB-E2F axis. We report that expression of the oncogenic MUC1-C protein in SCLC cells integrates activation of MYC and the E2F pathway. MUC1-C drives MYC and E2F target genes and regulates the G2/M checkpoint, mitotic spindle pathway and replication stress response (RSR). We further show that MUC1-C MYC signaling (i) induces NOTCH2, a marker of pulmonary neuroendocrine (NE) stem cells that are the proposed cell of SCLC origin, (ii) drives NE differentiation, as evidenced by expression of ASCL1 and POU3F2/BRN2, and (iii) promotes self-renewal capacity and tumorigenicity of SCLC cells. Analyses of datasets from SCLC tumors confirmed that MUC1 significantly associates with the MYC pathway. These findings uncover a master role for MUC1-C in promoting progression of the SCLC stem cell state and support MUC1-C as a potential target for SCLC treatment.

Project description:Colitis is associated with the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) by largely undefined mechanisms that are critical for understanding the link between inflammation and cancer. Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) marked by LGR5 expression are of importance in both the inflammatory response to colitis and progression to colitis-associated colon cancer (CACC). Here, we report in human MUC1-transgenic mouse models of CACC that targeting the MUC1-C oncogenic protein, which is upregulated in inflammation, suppresses the (i) Lgr5+ ISC population, (ii) induction of Myc and core pluripotency stem cell factors, and (iii) severity and progression of colitis to dysplasia and cancer. By extension to human colon cancer cells, we demonstrate that MUC1-C drives MYC, forms a complex with MYC on the LGR5 promoter and activates LGR5 expression. We also show in CRC cells that MUC1-C induces the cancer stem cell (CSC) markers (BMI1, ALDH1, FOXA1, LIN28B) and the OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG pluripotency factors. Consistent with conferring the CSC state, targeting MUC1-C suppresses the capacity of CRC cells to promote wound healing, invasion, self-renewal and tumorigenicity. In analysis of human tissues, MUC1 expression associates with activation of inflammatory pathways, development of colitis and aggressiveness of CRCs. These results collectively indicate that MUC1-C is of importance for integrating stemness and pluripotency in colitis and CRC. Of clinical relevance, the findings further indicate that MUC1-C represents a previously unrecognized target that is druggable for treating progression of colitis and CRC.

Project description:Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a transmembrane mucin expressed at the apical surface of epithelial cells at different mucosal surfaces including breast and intestine. The MUC1 extracellular domain contains a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of 20 amino acids, which are heavily O-linked glycosylated. Monoclonal antibodies against the MUC1 VNTR can be powerful tools because of their multiplicity of binding and possible applications in the diagnosis and treatment of MUC1-expressing cancers. One such antibody is the hybridoma mouse monoclonal 139H2 which is also widely used as a research tool to study non-cancer MUC1. Here we report direct mass spectrometry-based sequencing of hybridoma-derived 139H2 IgG, which enabled reverse engineering of a recombinant 139H2.

Project description:To determine if overexpression of MUC1 alters the microRNA profile of pancreatic cancer cells S2.013. Comparison of miRNAs differentially regulated in pancreatic cancer cell line S2.013 with and without MUC1 overexpression. MiRCURY LNA microarray was used to determine differential microRNA expression in one replicate of S2.013.Neo (control) cells compared to S2.013.MUC1 (experimental) cells. Confirmation with qRT-PCR was performed on a subset of microRNAs identified as differentially regulated between the two groups.
