Project description:Dysregulatio of Hh signaling has been shown to be involved in the formation of human medulloblastoma. We generated a mouse model (CAGGS-CreER;R26-SmoM2) of Hh related tumors. We used microarray to profile gene expression in Hh induced mouse medulloblastoma and identified distinct classes of up-regulated or down-regulated genes during Hh dependent tumorigenesis . Experiment Overall Design: Medulloblastoma samples and adjacent wild type cerebellar tissue from CAGGS-CreER;R26-SmoM2 mice were isolated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Misactivation of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway can cause cancers such as medulloblastomas, the most common malignant brain tumor in children, and basal cell carcinomas, the most common cancer in the United States. Hedgehog signals are transmitted through primary cilia, where Hedgehog ligands bind to Patched1 and activate Smoothened through interactions with cilia-associated sterol lipids. The gene expression programs driving cellular responses to ciliary Hh signals are incompletely understood. Thus, to define Hh target genes, we performed RNA sequencing of cells after treatment with Hh ligands (Shh, Dhh, Ihh), cilia-associated lipids (7b,27-dihydroxycholesterol, 24(S),25-epoxycholesterol), or synthetic lipids or small molecules that activate Smoothened (20(S)-hydroxycholesterol, SAG). Treatment with Hh pathway agonists identified a core gene expression program comprised of 155 genes driving lipid synthesis, metabolism, signaling, adhesion, or angiogenesis. These datasets were integrated with RNA sequencing of Hh-human medulloblastomas (n=?), a Math1-Cre SmoM2 mouse genetic model of Hh-associated medulloblastoma (n=?), and human basal cell carcinomas (n=10) to ascertain how malignant Hh signaling differs from canonical Hh signaling. We discover a conserved response to ciliary Hh signals in human or mouse medulloblastomas, including known target genes such as Gli1 or Ptch1, and novel target genes such as Hsd11b1 or Retnla. Importantly, mechanistic studies reveal Hsd11b1 to be a putative negative regulator of Hh signaling that is dysregulated in malignancies. We further demonstrate Retnla to be a positive regulator of Hh signaling that drives expression of Hsd11b2, a druggable dependency underlying Hedgehog-associated medulloblastoma. Orthotopic implantation of neuroepithelial stem cells that overexpress either Hsd11b1 and Retnla demonstrate that tumors derived Hsd11ß1 overexpression are more primitive and less aggressive whereas Retnla overexpression forms tumors that are more differentiated and behave more aggressively. In sum, we illuminate the first comprehensive transcriptome of Hh signaling and highlight the intricate interplay between Hh signaling and lipid metabolism that Hh-dependent malignancies dysregulate to drive tumor progression.

Project description:Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of many cancers, including medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). In this study, using neonatally irradiated Ptch1+/- mice as a model of Hh-dependent tumors, we investigated the in vivo effects of MK-4101, a novel SMO antagonist, for treatment of medulloblastoma and BCC. Results clearly demonstrate a robust antitumor activity of MK-4101, achieved through the inhibition of proliferation and induction of extensive apoptosis in tumor cells. Of note, beside antitumor activity on transplanted tumors, MK-4101 was highly efficacious against primary medulloblastoma and BCC developing in the cerebellum and skin of Ptch1+/- mice. By identifying the changes induced by MK-4101 in gene expression profiles in tumors, we also elucidate the mechanism of action of this novel, orally administrable compound. MK-4101 targets the Hh pathway in the tumor cells, showing the maximum inhibitory effect on Gli1 activity. MK-4101 also induced deregulation of cell cycle and block of DNA replication in tumors. Members of the IGF and Wnt signaling pathways , were among the most highly deregulated genes by MK-4101, suggesting that the interplay among Hh, IGF and Wnt is crucial in Hh-dependent tumorigenesis. Altogether, the results of this preclinical study support a therapeutic opportunity for MK-4101 in the treatment of Hh-driven cancers, also providing useful information for combination therapy with drugs targeting pathways cooperating with Hh oncogenic activity. Gene expression data was generated (in replicates) from Medulloblastoma allografts collected at various time points and following low (40mpk) or high (80 mpk) or vehicle single dose (QD) or mutiple dose (BID) treatment with a SHH pathway inhibitor.

Project description:Aberrant sonic hedeghog signaling is implicated in the development of various cancer entities such as medulloblastoma. The canonical signaling cascade has been studied for years. Activation of GLI transcription factors was revealed as the driving force upon pathway activation. Phosphorylation by Proteinkinase A, Casein Kinase 1 and Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3 β has been found to influence the degradation of the GLI transcription factors. However, the deeper role of phosphorylation in the signal transduction remains unclear. We, therefore, applied comprehensive HPLC-MS/MS based phosphoproteomics to reveal phosphorylation dynamics underlying the chemical activation and inhibition of sonic hedgehog signaling in human medulloblastoma cells. Human medulloblastoma cells were treated with SAG (Hh pathway induction) and Vismodegib (Hh pathway inhibition) for 5 and 15 minutes. Our phosphoproteomic profiling revealed a central role of phosphorylation in the regulation of ciliary assembly, trafficking and signal transduction after 5 minutes treatment. ERK/MAPK signaling besides protein kinase A signaling and mTOR signaling were differentially regulated. Activation of Polo-like kinase 1 and inhibtion of Caseinkinase 2A1 was characteristic for Vismodegib treatment while SAG treatment induced Aurora kinase A activity. Distinctive phosphorylation of central players of sonic Hh signaling such as Smoothened, SUFU, Gli2 and Gli3 was obtained after 15 minutes treatment.

Project description:Apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC) is silenced by promoter methylation in many types of tumors, yet ASC's role in most cancers remains unknown. Here, we show that ASC is highly expressed in a model of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant pediatric brain cancer; ASC is also expressed in human medulloblastomas. Importantly, while ASC deficiency did not affect normal cerebellar development, ASC knockout mice on the Smoothened (ND2:SmoA1) transgenic model of medulloblastoma exhibited a profound reduction in medulloblastoma incidence and a delayed tumor onset. A similar decrease in tumorigenesis with ASC deficiency was also seen in the hGFAP-Cre:SmoM2 mouse model of medulloblastoma. Interestingly, hyperproliferation of the external granule layer (EGL) was comparable at P20 in both wild-type and ASC-deficient SmoA1 mice. However, while the apoptosis and differentiation markers remained unchanged at this age, proliferation makers were decreased, and the EGL was reduced in thickness and area by P60. This reduction in proliferation with ASC deficiency was also seen in isolated SmoA1 cerebellar granule precursor cells in vitro, indicating that the effect of ASC deletion on proliferation was cell autonomous. Interestingly, ASC-deficient SmoA1 cerebella exhibited disrupted expression of genes in the transforming growth factor-β pathway and increased level of nuclear Smad3. Taken together, these results demonstrate an unexpected role for ASC in Sonic hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma tumorigenesis, thus identifying ASC as a promising novel target for antitumor therapy.
