Project description:Mitochondrial metabolism plays a central role in promoting cancer growth and metastatic progression. The transition between a hyperfused and fragmented mitochondrial network is termed mitochondrial dynamics and is important for many mitochondria-associated functions; however, little is known regarding how this process influences metastasis. Here, we show that breast cancer cells with low metastatic potential exhibit a more fused mitochondrial network compared to highly metastatic breast cancer cells. To examine whether a fused mitochondrial network could impair metastasis, we inhibited mitochondrial fission in metastatic breast cancer cells by individual genetic deletion of three key regulators of mitochondrial fission (Drp1, Fis1 and Mff) or pharmacological intervention using leflunomide, an anti-rheumatic drug. These cells displayed a fused mitochondrial network and limited survival under anoikis conditions, consistent with mitochondrial fusion limiting metastasis. Transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses revealed that mitochondrial fusion causes significant alterations in metabolic pathways and processes related to cell adhesion. Functional bioenergetics assays demonstrated that mitochondrial fusion limited the mitochondrial capacity of cancer cells. Mitochondrial fusion in breast cancer cells had no significant effect on primary tumor growth but almost completely ablated lung metastasis in vivo. Furthermore, the transcriptomics signature associated with enhanced mitochondrial fusion correlated with improved survival in patients with breast cancer. Overall, our findings highlight mitochondrial fusion as a therapeutic opportunity for breast cancer.

Project description:Altered mitochondrial function in prostate cancer was characterized using paired malignant/non-malignant (benign) tissue samples. Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmies (mtDNA-NGS) and mitochondria associated gene transcript levels (RNAseq-NGS) were analyzed and correlated to mitochondrial respiration (high-resolution respirometry), to each other and to the tumor stage and grade.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that prostate cancer is overdiagnosed and overtreated, and prognostic biomarkers would aid in treatment selection. To define prognostic biomarkers for aggressive prostate cancer, we carried out gene-expression profiling of 98 prostate tumors and 52 benign adjacent prostate tissue samples with detailed clinical annotation. We identified 28 transcripts significantly associated with recurrence after radical prostatectomy including NuSAP, a protein that binds DNA to the mitotic spindle. Elevated NuSAP transcript levels were associated with poor outcome in two independent prostate cancer gene-expression datasets. To characterize the role and regulation of NuSAP in prostate cancer, we studied the expression of NuSAP in the LNCaP and PC3 human prostate cancer cell lines. Posttranscriptional silencing of the NuSAP gene severely hampered the ability of PC3 to invade and proliferate in vitro. The promoter region of the NuSAP gene contains two CCAAT boxes and binding sites for E2F. Transient transfection of an E2F1 cDNA and 431bp of the NuSAP promoter demonstrated E2F1 as an important regulator of expression. Deletion of the E2F-binding site at nucleotide 246 negated the effects of E2F1 on NuSAP expression. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays demonstrated that nuclear extracts of cells overexpressing E2F1 bound directly to the E2F-binding site in the NuSAP promoter region. Finally, immunohistochemistry showed a strong correlation between E2F1 and NuSAP expression in human prostate cancer samples. NuSAP is a novel biomarker for prostate cancer recurrence after surgery and its overexpression appears to be driven in part by E2F1 activation. disease_state_design

Project description:Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is poorly characterized and heterogeneous and while the androgen receptor (AR) is of singular importance, other factors such as c-Myc and the E2F family also play a role in later stage disease. Here we show that Hes6 is up-regulated in aggressive human prostate cancer and drives castration-resistant tumour growth in the absence of ligand binding by enhancing the transcriptional activity of the AR, which is preferentially directed to a regulatory network enriched for other transcription factors including E2F1. In the clinical setting, we have uncovered a Hes6-associated signature that predicts poor outcome in prostate cancer, which can be pharmacologically targeted with restoration of sensitivity to castration.

Project description:Our computational approach identified E2F1 as a potential collaborator of EZH2 in androgen-independent prostate cancer. This experiment is to designed to validate the crosstalking of E2F1 and EZH2 pathways. We showed that majority of the EZH2-induced genes in androgen-independent prostate tumor cells are in downstream of E2F1, providing insight into the EZH2-E2F1 collaborative regulatory pathway.

Project description:Hes6 is a transcription co-factor that is associated with stem cell characteristics in neural tissue, but its role in cancer remains uncertain. Here we show that Hes6 is controlled by c-Myc and the AR and can drive castration resistance in xenografts of the androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cell line model. Hes6 activates a cell cycle enhancing transcriptional network that maintains tumour growth in the absence of circulating androgen but with maintained nuclear AR. We demonstrate interaction between E2F1, the AR and Hes6 and show the co-dependency of these factors in the castration-resistant setting. In the clinical setting, we have discovered a Hes6-associated signature that predicts poor outcome in prostate cancer, which could be pharmacologically targeted. E2F1 ChIPseq on LNCaP cells.

Project description:Histone lysine demethylase KDM4A is overexpressed in prostate cancer and plays a crucial role in tumor growth and survival. To understand the mechanisms underlying KDM4A-depedent cell growth and survival, microarray analysis was performed in LNCaP cells transduced with control or KDM4A specific-knockdown construct. The role of KDM4A in prostate carcinogenesis involves activation of E2F1 and androgen receptor transcriptional profiles.

Project description:Increased mitochondrial function may render some cancers vulnerable to mitochondrial inhibitors. Since mitochondrial function is regulated partly by mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn), accurate measurements of mtDNAcn could help reveal which cancers are driven by increased mitochondrial function and may be candidates for mitochondrial inhibition. However, prior studies have employed bulk macrodissections that fail to account for cell type-specific or tumor cell heterogeneity in mtDNAcn. These studies have often produced unclear results, particularly in prostate cancer. Herein, we developed a multiplex in situ method to spatially quantify cell type specific mtDNAcn. We show that mtDNAcn is increased in luminal cells of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), is increased in prostatic adenocarcinomas (PCa), and is further elevated in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Increased PCa mtDNAcn was validated by two orthogonal methods and is accompanied by increases in mtRNAs and enzymatic activity. Mechanistically, MYC inhibition in prostate cancer cells decreases mtDNA replication and expression of several mtDNA replication genes, and MYC activation in the mouse prostate leads to increased mtDNA levels in the neoplastic prostate cells. Our in situ approach also revealed elevated mtDNAcn in precancerous lesions of the pancreas and colon/rectum, demonstrating generalization across cancer types using clinical tissue samples.
