Project description:Emerging evidence suggests that tumor cells metastasize by co-opting stem cell transcriptional networks, although the molecular underpinnings of this process are poorly understood. Here, we show for the first time that the high mobility group A1 (HMGA1) gene drives metastatic progression in triple negative breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) by reprogramming cancer cells to a stem-like state. We discovered an HMGA1 signature in triple negative breast cancer cells that is highly enriched in embryonic stem cells. Together, these findings indicate that HMGA1 is a master regulator of tumor progression in breast cancer by reprogramming cancer cells through stem cell transcriptional networks. Future studies are needed to determine how to target HMGA1 in therapy. HMGA1 was knocked-down in MDA-MB-231 cells using siRNA as we previously described (Tesfaye A 2007). RNA from three independent knockdown experiements along with 3 control populations were collected by Rneasy miniprep (Qiagen) and analyzed by Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform.

Project description:Analysis of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells depleted for High Mobility Group A1 (HMGA1) using siRNA. HMGA1 is involved in invasion and metastasis in breast cancer cells. Results identify the specific transcriptional program induced by HMGA1 in highly metastatic breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with HMGA1-specific siRNA or a control siRNA. Transfections were performed by using Lipofectamin RNAiMAX (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's procedure. Seventy-two hours after transfection, samples were processed for total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Four biological replicas (A, B, C, D) were used for each of the two conditions, for a total of 8 samples.

Project description:HMGA1 is a well-established oncogene and is a master regulator in breast cancer cells controlling the shift from a non-tumorigenic epithelial-like phenotype towards a highly aggressive mesenchymal-like one. In this work we compared HMGA1-silenced versus control MDA-MB-231 by means of a label free shotgun proteomics approach and crossed these data with DNA microarray expression profile obtained on the same cells. Resulting data were then filtered for genes linked to poor prognosis in breast cancer gene expression meta-datasets. This workflow allows us to establish a small molecular signature composed by 21 members with a prognostic value as regards overall-, recurrence free-, and distant metastasis free-survival in breast cancer.

Project description:One of the factors involved in TNBC aggressiveness is HMGA1, a member of non-histone chromatin proteins. The High mobility group A1 is an architectural transcription factor which, by altering chromatin structure and interacting with transcription factors, can regulate the transcription of several genes. HMGA1 protein is defined as an oncofetal protein as it is highly expressed during the embryogenesis while its expression decreases or is absent in adults, and it is re-expressed in a variety of tumors, including breast cancer. Several works established that, in breast cancer, HMGA1 expression is correlated with high tumor grade and tumor metastasis, resistance to therapies and poor prognosis. The goal of this project is to find out in details, which are the genes that are modulated by HMGA1 in MDA-MB-231 triple negative breast cancer cell line model.

Project description:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) transform to myelofibrosis (MF) and highly lethal acute myeloid leukemia (AML), although actionable mechanisms driving progression remain elusive. The HMGA1 chromatin regulator is up-regulated during MPN progression with highest levels after transformation. HMGA1 depletion in JAK2V617F MPN AML cell lines disrupts proliferation, clonogenicity, and leukemic engraftment. Surprisingly, loss of just a single Hmga1 allele prevents progression to MF in JAK2V617F transgenic mice, decreasing blood counts and expansion in stem and myeloid progenitors while preventing splenomegaly and fibrosis within the spleen and bone marrow. RNA sequencing revealed HMGA1-dependent transcriptional networks that govern proliferation (E2F, G2M, mitosis, MYC targets) and cell fate, including the GATA2 master regulatory gene. Silencing GATA2 recapitulates phenotypes observed with HMGA1 depletion whereas GATA2 re-expression partially rescues leukemogenesis. HMGA1 transactivates GATA2 through sequences near the developmental enhancer (+9.5), increasing chromatin accessibility and recruiting active histone marks. Further, HMGA1 transcriptional networks, including GATA2, are activated in human MF after leukemic transformation. Further, HMGA1 depletion synergizes with the JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, to prolong survival in murine MPN AML. These findings illuminate HMGA1 as a key epigenetic switch required for MPN transformation and promising therapeutic target to treat or prevent disease progression.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming is a typical feature of tumors, in which biological macromolecules and energy produced in abnormal metabolism meet the requirements of highly proliferative tumor cells and participate in multiple stages of tumor development. High mobility group A1 (HMGA1) is a structural transcription factor, which plays a carcinogenic role in regulating the transcription of oncogenes. Bioinformatics analysis showed that HMGA1 was overexpressed in human CRC. However, the mechanisms by which HMGA1 promotes the tumorigenesis of CRC remains unknown. Herein, we applied intestinal epithelium conditional knockout (Hmga1△IEC) and knock-in (Hmga1IEC-OE/+) mice of HMGA1 to induce CRC, and identified that HMGA1 promotes colorectal cancer growth by increasing lipid synthesis. Single-cell sequencing (scRNA seq) and immunohistochemical staining showed that HMGA1 was highly expressed in the epithelial cells of CRC. HMGA1 promoted the CRC cell proliferation and accelerated CRC development in HMGA1-knock-in (Hmga1IEC-OE/+) mice. Knockout of HMGA1 (Hmga1△IEC) in intestinal epithelial cells of mice reduced the lipid accumulation and inhibited the occurrence and development of CRC. We further characterized that HMGA1 upregulated the level of fatty acid synthase (FASN) through enhancing the transcriptional binding of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) to the promoter of FASN, leading to an increase in lipid synthesis in intestinal epithelial cells. High fat diet (HFD) aggravated the malignant progression of CRC in Hmga1△IEC mice and reversed the inhibitory effect of HMGA1 depletion on CRC. Administration Orlistat (50 mg/kg), an inhibitor of FASN-mediated lipid synthesis, into Hmga1-knock-in (Hmga1IEC-OE/+) mice markedly reduced lipid accumulation in intestinal epithelial cells and decreased the tumorigenesis of CRC. Taken together, our data suggest that HMGA1 promotes the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer by up-regulating FASN-mediated de novo fatty acid synthesis. Our findings provide strong evidence supporting therapeutic intervention of lipid accumulation for the prevention and treatment of CRC
