A Novel Tumor suppressor network in squamous malignancies

ABSTRACT: The specific ablation of Rb1 gene in stratified epithelia (RbF/F;K14cre) promotes proliferation and altered differentiation but is insufficient to produce spontaneous tumors. The pRb relative, p107, compensates some of the functions of pRb in these tissues, however RbF/F;K14cre;p107-/- mice die postnatally. Acute pRb loss in stratified epithelia, using an inducible mouse model (RbF/F;K14creERTM), shows that p107 exerts specific tumor suppressor functions in its absence. After simultaneous absence of pRb and p107, p53 transcriptional function is impaired and Pten expression is reduced. All mutant mice develop spontaneous squamous tumors carcinomas rapidly. Gene expression analysis of mouse tumors, besides supporting the impaired p53 function and the susceptibility to Akt/mTOR inhibitors, also revealed significant overlap with human squamous carcinomas. Thus, RbF/F;K14creERTM;p107-/- may constitute a new mouse model for these malignancies. Collectively, these data demonstrate the existence of a previously unreported functional connection between pRb, Pten and p53 tumor suppressors, through p107, of a particular relevance in squamous tumor development.

E2F1 loss induces spontaneous tumour development in Rb-deficient epidermis

Project description:The specific ablation of Rb1 gene in epidermis (RbF/F;K14cre) promotes proliferation and altered differentiation but does not produce spontaneous tumour development. These phenotypic changes are associated with increased expression of E2F members and E2F-dependent transcriptional activity. Here, we have focused on the possible dependence on E2F1 gene function. We have generated mice that lack Rb1 in epidermis in an inducible manner (RbF/F;K14creERTM). These mice are indistinguishable from those lacking pRb in this tissue in a constitutive manner (RbF/F;K14cre). In an E2F1-null background (RbF/F;K14creERTM; E2F1-/- mice), the phenotype due to acute Rb1 loss is not ameliorated by E2F1 loss, but rather exacerbated, indicating that pRb functions in epidermis do not rely solely on E2F1. On the other hand, RbF/F;K14creERTM;E2F1-/- mice develope spontaneous epidermal tumours of hair follicle origin with high incidence. These tumours, which retain a functional p19arf/p53 axis, also show aberrant activation of βcatenin/Wnt pathway. Gene expression studies revealed that these tumours display relevant similarities with specific human tumours. These data demonstrate that the Rb/E2F1 axis exerts essential functions not only in maintaining epidermal homeostasis, but also in suppressing tumour development in epidermis, and that the disruption of this pathway may induce tumour progression through specific alteration of developmental programs. Gene expression was compared between normal mouse skin, skin from transgenic RbF/F;K14creERTM; E2F1-/- , E2F1-/-, and RbF/F;K14creERTM; E2F1-/- mouse, and carcinomas arising in the skin of RbF/F;K14creERTM; E2F1-/- mouse. All mice were treated with tamoxifen.

Gene profiling approaches help to define the specific functions of retinoblastoma family in epidermis

Project description:The epidermal-specific ablation of Rb gene leads to increased proliferation, aberrant differentiation, and the disengagement of these processes in vivo and in vitro. These differences in phenotype are more severe with the loss of p107, demonstrating the functional compensation between pRb and p107. As p107 and p130 also exert overlapping functions in epidermis, we have generated Rb(F19/F19)K14cre;Rbl2-/- (pRb-;p130-) mice to analyze possible functional redundancies between pRb and p130. The epidermal phenotype was very similar between pRb- and pRb-;p130- mice, suggesting that pRb and p130 activities are not redundant in epidermis. Importantly, we can correlate the proliferation differences with specific changes in gene expression between pRb-, pRb-;p107- and pRb-;p130- primary keratinocytes using microarray analysis, and explain the phenotypes in the context of altered E2F expression and functionality. Our findings support a model in which the distinct retinoblastoma family members, in conjunction with E2F members, play a central role in regulating epidermal homeostasis through specific or overlapping activities.

p107 acts as a tumor suppressor in pRb-deficient epidermis.

Project description:The specific deletion of Rb gene in epidermis leads to altered proliferation and differentiation, but not to the development of spontaneous tumors. Our previous data have demonstrated the existence of a functional compensation of Rb loss by Rbl1 (p107) in as the phenotypic differences with respect to controls are intensified. However, the possible evolution of this aggravated phenotype, in particular in relationship with tumorigenesis, has not been evaluated due to the premature death of the double deficient mice. We have now investigated whether p107 can also act as a tumor suppressor in pRb-deficient epidermis using different experimental approaches. We found spontaneous tumor development in doubly-deficient skin grafts. Moreover, Rb-deficient keratinocytes are susceptible to Ha-ras-induced transformation, and this susceptibility is enhanced by p107 loss. Further functional analyses, including microarray gene expression profiling, indicated that the loss of p107, in the absence of pRb, produces the reduction of p53-dependent pro-apoptotic signals. Overall, our data demonstrate that p107 behaves as a tumor suppressor in epidermis in the absence of pRb and suggest novel tumor-suppressive roles for p107 in the context of functional p53 and activated Ras Keywords: epidermis, tumorigenesis, pRb, p107, Ras, p53, apoptosis

Development of gene sets after deleting Rb and Pten in p53 null background primary prostate cells [Rb and Pten]

Project description:Our findings suggested that cytokines were upregulated in p53 null primary prostate cells after deleting Rb and/or Pten. Rb and Pten deletion are important for prostate cancer progression. p53-/- Rbf/f vs p53-/- Rbâf/âf primary prostate cells. Three independent experiments were performed. p53-/- Rbf/f vs p53-/- Rbâf/âf Ptenâf/âf primary prostate cells. Four independent experiments were performed.

The pluripotency factor NANOG regulates the mitotic program of adult stratified epithelia.

Project description:NANOG is a key transcription factor for pluripotency in embryonic stem cells. However, its role in adult tissues remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that mouse NANOG is expressed in the progenitor layer of stratified epithelia, including esophagus, forestomach and skin. Accordingly, the Nanog promoter is hypomethylated in the epithelial layers of the esophagus and forestomach. Interestingly, ubiquitous transgenic overexpression of NANOG in mice induces hyperplasia in stratified epithelia, but not in other tissues. Mechanistically, we show that NANOG transcriptionally activates the mitotic program selectively in stratified epithelia, and endogenous NANOG directly binds the Aurora kinase A (Aurka) promoter in keratinocytes. Finally, human and mouse squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) express NANOG and its levels positively correlate with those of AURKA in human head and neck SCCs. Together, these results implicate a lineage-restricted mitogenic role of NANOG in normal stratified epithelia and its derived carcinomas.

Spontaneous SCC induced by the somatic inactivation of Rb1 and Trp53 tumor suppressors in mouse stratified epithelia

Project description:The squamous cell carcinomas represent the aggressive type of non melanoma skin cancer, the most frequent malignancy among human population. We have studied here the possible relationship between these two pathways in skin using epidermal-specific mutant mice. Loss of p53, but not pRb, produces spontaneous tumor development, indicating that, contrary to pRb, p53 is the predominant tumor suppressor acting in mouse epidermis. The simultaneous inactivation of pRb and p53 does not aggravate the epidermal phenotype observed in Rb-deficient mice in terms of proliferation and/or differentiation. However, in doubly deficient mice spontaneous skin tumor development is severely accelerated. The tumors are aggressive, undifferentiated and display a hair follicle origin. Detailed analysis indicates that the acceleration is mediated by premature activation of the EGFR/Akt pathway, resulting in increased angiogenesis. The molecular characteristics of this model provide valuable tools to understand epidermal tumor formation, and may ultimately contribute to the development of therapies for the treatment of aggressive squamous cancer.

Comparison was performed between the 4 different genotypes.
