Project description:In several developmental lineages, an increase in expression of the MYC proto-oncogene drives the transition from quiescent stem cells to transit amplifying cells. The mechanism by which MYC restricts self-renewal of adult stem cells is unknown. Here, we show that MYC activates a stereotypic transcriptional program of genes involved in protein translation and mitochondrial biogenesis in mammary epithelial cells and indirectly inhibits the YAP/TAZ co-activators that are essential for mammary stem cell self-renewal. We identify a phospholipase of the mitochondrial outer membrane, PLD6, as the mediator of MYC activity. PLD6 mediates a change in the mitochondrial fusion/fission balance that promotes nuclear export of YAP/TAZ in a LATS- and RHO-independent manner. Mouse models and human pathological data confirm that MYC suppresses YAP/TAZ activity in mammary tumors. PLD6 is also required for glutaminolysis, arguing that MYC-dependent changes in mitochondrial dynamics balance cellular energy metabolism with the self-renewal potential of adult stem cells. RNA-Seq Experiments in 2 different primary breast epithelial cell lines (HMLE, which were sorted according to CD44/CD24 surface markers & unsorted IMEC). Both cell lines expressed a doxycycline-inducible version of MYC. For the HMLE cell line DGE analysis was performed for the uninduced (EtOH) situation, comparing CD44high vs CD44 low and for the induced situation Dox vs. EtOH for the CD44high population. For the IMEC cell line DGE was performed by comparing Dox-treated populations expressing either Dox-inducible MYC or a vector control which allows to filter out potential effects due to doxycycline treatment.

Project description:Contractile myoepithelial cells dominate the basal layer of the mammary epithelium and are considered to be differentiated cells. However, we observe that up to 54% of single basal cells can form colonies when seeded into adherent culture in the presence of agents that disrupt actin-myosin interactions, and on average, 65% of the single-cell-derived basal colonies can repopulate a mammary gland when transplanted in vivo. This indicates that a high proportion of basal myoepithelial cells can give rise to a mammary repopulating unit (MRU). We demonstrate that myoepithelial cells, flow-sorted using two independent myoepithelial-specific reporter strategies, have MRU capacity. Using an inducible lineage-tracing approach we follow the progeny of myoepithelial cells that express α-smooth muscle actin and show that they function as long-lived lineage-restricted stem cells in the virgin state and during pregnancy.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a deadly malignancy with limited treatment options. Recently, it was found that Dasatinib treatment led to synthetic lethality in c-Myc high-expressing human cancer cells due to inhibition of p-Lyn. Overexpression of c-Myc is frequently seen in human HCC. We investigated the sensitivity to Dasatinib in vitro using HCC cell lines and in vivo using c-Myc mouse HCC model. We found that HCC cell line responsiveness to Dasatinib varied significantly. However, there was no correlation between c-Myc expression and IC50 to Dasatinib. In c-Myc-induced HCC in mice, tumors continued to grow despite Dasatinib treatment, although the eventual tumor burden was lower in Dasatinib treatment cohort. Molecular analyses revealed that Dasatinib was effective in inhibiting p-Src, but not p-Lyn, in HCC. Importantly, we found that in HCC cell lines as well as c-Myc mouse HCC, Dasatinib treatment induced up regulation of activated/phosphorylated (p)-focal adhesion kinase(FAK). Concomitant treatment of HCC cell lines with Dasatinib and FAK inhibitor prevented Dasatinib-induced FAK activation, leading to stronger growth restraint. Altogether, our results suggest that Dasatinib may have limited efficacy as single agent for HCC treatment. Combined treatment with Dasatinib with FAK inhibitor might represent a novel therapeutic approach against HCC.

Project description:Receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB (RANK) signaling promotes pregnancy-dependent epithelial cell differentiation and expansion for mammary gland development, which requires NF-κB pathway-dependent Cyclin D1 induction and inhibitor of DNA binding 2 (Id2) pathway-dependent anti-apoptotic gene induction. However, the roles of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) remain unclear despite its requirement in RANK signaling. Here we show that TRAF6 is crucial for both mammary stem cell maintenance and pregnancy-induced epithelial cell expansion. TRAF6 deficiency impairs phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT and canonical NF-κB pathways, whereas noncanonical NF-κB signaling remains functional. Therefore, we propose that TRAF6 promotes cell proliferation by activating PI3K/AKT signaling to induce retinoblastoma phosphorylation in concert with noncanonical NF-κB pathway-dependent Cyclin D1 induction. Furthermore, TRAF6 inhibits apoptosis by activating canonical NF-κB signaling to induce anti-apoptotic genes with the Id2 pathway. Therefore, proper orchestration of TRAF6-dependent and -independent RANK signals likely establishes mammary gland formation.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Basal-like breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease characterized by the expression of basal cell markers, no estrogen or progesterone receptor expression and a lack of HER2 overexpression. Recent studies have linked activation of the Wnt/?-catenin pathway, and its downstream target, Myc, to basal-like breast cancer. Transgenic mice K5?N?cat previously generated by our team present a constitutive activation of Wnt/?-catenin signaling in the basal myoepithelial cell layer, resulting in focal mammary hyperplasias that progress to invasive carcinomas. Mammary lesions developed by K5?N?cat mice consist essentially of basal epithelial cells that, in contrast to mammary myoepithelium, do not express smooth muscle markers. METHODS: Microarray analysis was used to compare K5?N?cat mouse tumors to human breast tumors, mammary cancer cell lines and the tumors developed in other mouse models. Cre-Lox approach was employed to delete Myc from the mammary basal cell layer of K5?N?cat mice. Stem cell amplification in K5?N?cat mouse mammary epithelium was assessed with 3D-culture and transplantation assays. RESULTS: Histological and microarray analyses of the mammary lesions of K5?N?cat females revealed their high similarity to a subset of basal-like human breast tumors with squamous differentiation. As in human basal-like carcinomas, the Myc pathway appeared to be activated in the mammary lesions of K5?N?cat mice. We found that a basal cell population with stem/progenitor characteristics was amplified in K5?N?cat mouse preneoplastic glands. Finally, the deletion of Myc from the mammary basal layer of K5?N?cat mice not only abolished the regenerative capacity of basal epithelial cells, but, in addition, completely prevented the tumorigenesis. CONCLUSIONS: These results strongly indicate that ?-catenin-induced stem cell amplification and tumorigenesis rely ultimately on the Myc pathway activation and reinforce the hypothesis that basal stem/progenitor cells may be at the origin of a subset of basal-like breast tumors.
