Project description:To identify OS-specific gene alterations, 38 tumor samples were collected from 29 unique patients with osteosarcoma. We performed RNA-sequencing on 28 primary osteosarcoma tumors and 10 metastatic osteosarcoma tumors. We compared the primary and metastatic genomic signatures of all 38 samples to discover differentially expressed genes.

Project description:The maize NAKED ENDOSPERM (NKD) genes Nkd1 and Nkd2 encode paralogous INDETERMINATE DOMAIN (IDD) transcription factors (TFs) that have previously been shown to play critical roles in regulating endosperm gene expression and development. However, the function of each individual NKD protein is unclear. To elucidate this, we performed a transcriptome analysis for nkd1-Ds and nkd2-Ds single mutant endosperm. We found that in nkd1-Ds single mutant, nkd2 gene expression is significantly lower than WT, and similar to the nkd2-Ds mutant.

Project description:Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. The survival rate of patients with metastatic disease remains very dismal. Nevertheless, metastasis is a complex process and a single-level analysis is not likely to identify its key biological determinants. In this study, we used a systems biology approach to identify common metastatic pathways that are jointly supported by both mRNA and protein expression data in two distinct human metastatic OS models. Results mRNA expression microarray and N-linked glycoproteomic analyses were performed on two commonly used isogenic pairs of human metastatic OS cell lines, namely HOS/143B and SaOS-2/LM7. Pathway analysis of the differentially regulated genes and glycoproteins separately revealed pathways associated to metastasis including cell cycle regulation, immune response, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition. However, no common significant pathway was found at both genomic and proteomic levels between the two metastatic models, suggesting a very different biological nature of the cell lines. To address this issue, we used a topological significance analysis based on a “shortest path” algorithm to identify topological nodes, which uncovered additional biological information with respect to the genomic and glycoproteomic profiles but remained hidden from the direct analyses. Pathway analysis of the significant topological nodes revealed a striking concordance between the models and identified significant common pathways, including “Cytoskeleton remodeling/TGF/WNT”, “Cytoskeleton remodeling/Cytoskeleton remodeling”, and “Cell adhesion/Chemokines and adhesion”. Of these, the “Cytoskeleton remodeling/TGF/WNT” was the top ranked common pathway from the topological analysis of the genomic and proteomic profiles in the two metastatic models. The up-regulation of proteins in the “Cytoskeleton remodeling/TGF/WNT” pathway in the SaOS-2/LM7 and HOS/143B models was further validated using an orthogonal Reverse Phase Protein Array platform. Conclusions In this study, we used a systems biology approach by integrating genomic and proteomic data to identify key and common metastatic mechanisms in OS. The use of the topological analysis revealed hidden biological pathways that are known to play critical roles in metastasis. Wnt signaling has been previously implicated in OS and other tumors, and inhibitors of Wnt signaling pathways are available for clinical testing. Further characterization of this common pathway and other topological pathways identified from this study may lead to a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of metastatic OS. In this study we analyzed two human metastatic OS cell lines and their parental non-metastatic lines. The two human metastatic OS cell line models were HOS/143B and SaOS-2/LM7. The HOS cell line, originally known as M.T. and later as TE-85, was derived from an OS of a 13 year-old girl. The 143B metastatic subline was generated from HOS by a Ki-RAS oncogene transformation [Rhim, J.S., et al., Characterization of human cells transformed in vitro by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Int J Cancer, 1977. 19(4): p. 505-10.]. The SaOS-2 cell was derived from an OS of an 11 year-old girl, and its metastatic subline LM7, was developed by multiple in vivo selection of SaOS-2 cells in mice with pulmonary metastases [Jia, S.F., L.L. Worth, and E.S. Kleinerman, A nude mouse model of human osteosarcoma lung metastases for evaluating new therapeutic strategies. Clin Exp Metastasis, 1999. 17(6): p. 501-6.].

Project description:Therapeutic targeting of the Wnt pathway is of high clinical interest for treating bone loss disorders such as osteoporosis. These therapies inhibit the action of negative regulators of osteoblastic Wnt signaling. The observation that Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WNT1) was epigenetic silencing in osteosarcoma (OS) raised concerns for such a treatment approach. In this study, genome-wide methylation profiling of OS derived from mouse models demonstrated Wif1 silencing in OS is not driven by DNA methylation. Treatment of mouse and human OS cells with methylation and HDAC inhibitors showed Wif1 was unresponsive to methylation inhibition but responded robustly to HDAC inhibition. Consistent with an HDAC dependent mechanism of silencing, the Wif1 locus in OS was characterized by low levels of acetylation and a bivalent H3K4/H3K27 trimethylation state. Wif1 expression marked late stages of normal osteoblast development and stratified OS tumours based on differentiation stage across species. Culture of human and mouse OS cells under differentiation inductive conditions increased expression of Wif1 in parallel with known osteoblast differentiation markers. Together these results demonstrate that Wif1 is not targeted for silencing by DNA methylation in OS. The reduced expression of Wif1 in OS cells is in context with their stage in differentiation. 3 cell lines derived from primary tumors from p53 Rb Osterix-Cre:lox OS model, 3 Osteoblasts (differentiated Kusa4b10 cells (21 days under osteoblastic differentiation conditions)

Project description:It is of tremendous interests to understand how Wnt signaling is regulated in a precise manner both temporally and spatially. Naked cuticle (Nkd) acts as a negative-feedback inhibitor for Wingless (Wg, a fly Wnt) signaling in Drosophila embryonic development. In the present study, we show that nkd is essential for wing pattern formation, such that both gain and loss of nkd result in the disruption of Wg target expression in larvae stage and abnormal adult wing morphologies. Our results of high-throughput sequencing suggest that nkd have profound effects on Drosophila wing development with several critical signaling pathways involved, we conclude that Nkd inhibits the canonical Wg pathway during Drosophila wing development beyond embryonic stage and may play a mediated role in cross-talk between development-related pathways.

Project description:Effective therapies for metastatic osteosarcoma (OS) remain a major clinical unmet need. Targeting mRNA translation in metastatic OS represents an attractive option, as selective translation under stress supports the rapid synthesis of cytoprotective proteins that facilitate metastatic competence. We therefore assessed eukaryotic translation factors in OS, revealing high expression of eIF4A1 in metastatic OS. The eIF4A1 inhibitor, CR-1-31B, potently inhibited metastatic OS growth in vitro and reduced lung tumor burden in orthotopic mouse models. CR-1-31B synergized with the oxidative stress inducer, tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ), to enhance cell death under oxidative stress. Proteomic analysis revealed a subset of proteins that were upregulated by tBHQ alone, but inhibited by co-treatment of CR-1-31B, most notably the NRF2 antioxidant transcription factor, and NRF2 inactivation phenocopied CR-1-31B in blocking OS lung metastasis in vivo. Collectively, our data reveal that targeting eIF4A1 with CR-1-31B is highly effective in blocking OS metastasis by blunting the NRF2 antioxidant response.

Metastases are hard to detect and treat, and cause most cancer-related deaths. The relative lack of therapies targeting metastases represents a major unmet clinical need. The extracellular matrix or ECM forms a major component of the tumor microenvironment in both primary and metastatic tumors and certain ECM proteins can be selectively and abundantly expressed in such tumors. We propose that nanobodies against ECM proteins that show selective abundance in metastases can be used as vehicles for delivery of imaging and therapeutic cargoes. To gain a deeper understanding of the microenvironment of human metastases, we describe here an LC-MS/MS-based ECM signature shared by human TNBC and CRC metastases to different organs and provide evidence that this conserved set of ECM proteins is selectively elevated in other tumors. We also describe phage-display libraries of nanobodies raised against ECM-enriched preparations from human metastases from TNBC and CRC. As proof of concept, we developed selective and specific, high-affinity nanobodies against an example signature protein, Tenascin-C (TNC), known to be abundant in many tumor types and to play a role in metastases. We report that TNC is abundantly expressed in patient metastases and widely expressed across diverse metastatic sites originating from several primary tumor types. Using immuno-PET/CT we showed that anti-TNC nanobodies bind TNBC tumors and metastases with excellent specificity. We propose that such generic anti-tumor nanobodies are promising cancer-agnostic, in vivo tools for the delivery of therapeutics to tumor and metastatic ECM.

Project description:To study genetic factors that influence the progression and therapeutic response of advanced prostate cancer, we developed a fast and flexible system that introduces genetic alterations relevant to human disease directly into the prostate glands of mice using tissue electroporation. These electroporation based genetically engineered mouse models (EPO-GEMM) recapitulate features of traditional germline models and, by modeling genetic factors linked to late stage human disease, can produce tumors that are metastatic and castration resistant. Unexpectedly, a subset of particularly metastatic tumors acquired WNT pathway alterations, which are also associated with metastatic prostate cancer in humans. Harnessing features linked to the EPO-GEMM approach, we validate the WNT pathway as a key event in driving metastatic disease, a finding that we confirm in an orthogonal approach using mouse prostate organoids. Moreover, we show that tumors harboring WNT pathway alterations are sensitive to pharmacological WNT pathway inhibition. Thus, by leveraging the power of EPO-GEMMs, our studies reveal a functional role for WNT signaling in driving prostate cancer metastasis and validate the WNT pathway as an actionable therapeutic target in metastatic prostate cancer.
