Project description:Periostin, a matricellular protein, has been reported to be important in supporting tumor cell dissemination. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying periostin function within the tumor microenvironment are poorly understood. In this study, we observe that loss of periostin decreases esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tumor growth in vivo and demonstrate that periostin cooperates with a conformational missense p53 mutation to enhance invasion. Pathway analyses reveal that invasive esophageal cells expressing periostin and p53R175H mutation display activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) target genes, suggesting that the induction of STAT1 and STAT1-related genes could foster a permissive microenvironment that facilitates invasion of esophageal epithelial cells into the extracellular matrix (ECM). Genetic knockdown of STAT1 in transformed esophageal epithelial cells underscores the importance of STAT1 in promoting invasion and potentiate tumor resistance to genotoxic stress. Furthermore, we find that STAT1 is activated in ESCC xenograft tumors but this activation is attenuated with inducible knockdown of periostin in ESCC tumors. Overall, these results highlight the molecular mechanisms supporting the capacity of periostin in mediating tumor invasion during ESCC development.

Project description:To explore the effects of periostin on tumor-associated macrophagess, we first sorted CD14+ monocytes from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors using magnetic-activated cell sorting and then induced their differentiation into macrophages by culture with M-CSF for 5 days. In the absence of IL-4 stimulation, these macrophages expressed CD163 and Arg1 (a marker of M2 macrophage activation) but not CD206, suggesting that they were similar to macrophages in the early stage of mycosis fungoides (low frequency of CD206+ cells and low IL-4 expression). We then stimulated these macrophages with or without 100 ng/ml of periostin for 6 hours and examined gene expression using a cDNA microarray. Periostin stimulated gene expression on monocyte-derived macrophages was measured at 6 hours after exposure to doses of 100 ng/ml periostin.

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease with only three to five years of the median survival. Fibroblast proliferation is a hallmark of IPF as well as secretion of extracellular matrix proteins from fibroblasts. However, it is still uncertain how IPF fibroblasts acquire the ability to progressively proliferate. Periostin is a matricellular protein that is highly expressed in the lung tissues of IPF patients and plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. However, it remains undetermined whether periostin affects proliferation of lung fibroblasts. In this study, we first comprehensively tried to identify periostin-dependently expressed genes in lung fibroblasts finding that many cell-cycle–related genes are involved in the gene profile. We confirmed that periostin silencing downregulates expression of several cell-cycle–related molecules including the cyclin family, the CDK family, the E2F family, and the transcriptional factors such as B-MYB and FOXM1 in lung fibroblasts. Accordingly, periostin silencing slowed proliferation of lung fibroblasts and affects the distribution of cell cycle particularly at the G1/S checkpoint and drives the cells into G1 arrest. Lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients also required periostin for maximum proliferation. Moreover, CP4715, a potent inhibitor against integrin V3, a periostin receptor, downregulated proliferation along with expression of cell-cycle–related genes in IPF lung fibroblasts as well as normal lung fibroblasts. These results demonstrate that periostin plays a critical role in proliferation of lung fibroblasts and provide us a beneficial basis to apply the inhibitors against the periostin/integrin V3 interaction to IPF patients.

Project description:Periostin is a matricellular protein encoded by the POSTN gene that is alternatively spliced to produce ten different isoforms of periostin with a molecular weight ranging from 78 to 91 kDa. Periostin is known to promote fibrillogenesis, organize the extracellular matrix, and bind integrin-receptors to induce cell signaling. Periostin is a key component of the wound healing process but is also known to participate in the pathogenesis of different diseases including atopic dermatitis, asthma, and cancer. In both health and disease, the functions of the different periostin isoforms are largely unknown. The ability to precisely determine the isoform profile of a given human sample is fundamental for characterizing their functional significance. Identification of periostin isoforms is most often carried out at the transcriptional level using RT-PCR based approaches. Though, it must be recognized that periostin exerts it functions at the translational level and is an extracellular protein making it impossible to derive transcriptional information for e.g. plasma periostin that is spatially disconnected from the cell it was expressed by. Consequently, monitoring periostin isoforms at the protein level is highly advantageous. In the publication connected to this dataset we present a fully developed top down mass spectrometry assay for identification and quantification of periostin splice isoforms from any human sample at the protein level.

Project description:Cancer cell dissemination to sentinel lymph nodes associates with poor patient outcomes, particularly in breast cancer. The process by which cancer cells egress from the primary tumor upon interfacing with the lymphatic vasculature is complex and driven by dynamic interactions between cancer cells and stromal cells, including cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). The matricellular protein periostin can distinguish CAF subtypes in breast cancer and is associated with increased desmoplasia and disease recurrence in patients. However, since periostin is secreted, periostin-expressing CAFs are difficult to characterize in situ, limiting our understanding of their specific contribution to cancer progression. Here, we used in vivo genetic labeling and ablation to lineage trace periostin+ cells and characterize their functions during tumor growth and metastasis. Periostin-expressing CAFs were spatially found at periductal and perivascular margins, were enriched at lymphatic vessel peripheries, and were differentially activated by highly-metastatic cancer cells versus poorly-metastatic counterparts. Surprisingly, genetically depleting periostin+ CAFs slightly accelerated primary tumor growth but impaired intratumoral collagen organization and inhibited lymphatic, but not lung, metastases. Periostin ablation in CAFs impaired their ability to deposit aligned collagen matrices and inhibited cancer cell invasion through collagen and across lymphatic endothelial cell monolayers. Thus, highly-metastatic cancer cells mobilize periostin-expressing CAFs in the primary tumor site that promote collagen remodeling and collective cell invasion within lymphatic vessels and ultimately to sentinel lymph nodes.
