Altered expression of the Cdk5 activator-like protein, Cdk5α, causes neurodegeneration, in part by accelerating the rate of aging [head]

ABSTRACT: Aging is the greatest risk factor for neurodegeneration, but the connection between the two processes remains opaque. This is in part for want of a rigorous way to define physiological age, as opposed to chronological age. Here, we develop a comprehensive metric for physiological age in Drosophila, based on genome-wide expression profiling. We applied this metric to a model of adult-onset neurodegeneration, increased or decreased expression of the activating subunit of the Cdk5 protein kinase, encoded by the gene Cdk5α, the ortholog of mammalian p35. Cdk5α-mediated degeneration was associated with a 27-150% acceleration of the intrinsic rate of aging, depending on the tissue and genetic manipulation. Gene ontology analysis and direct experimental tests revealed that affected age-associated processes included numerous core phenotypes of neurodegeneration, including enhanced oxidative stress and impaired proteostasis. Taken together, our results suggest that Cdk5α-mediated neurodegeneration results from accelerated aging, in combination with cell-autonomous neuronal insults. These data fundamentally recast our picture of the relationship between neurodegeneration and its most prominent risk factor, natural aging.

Manipulating mitochondrial reactive oxygen species alters survival in unexpected ways in a Drosophila Cdk5 model of neurodegeneration

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are associated with aging and neurodegeneration, but the significance of this association remains obscure. Here, using a Drosophila Cdk5 model of age-related neurodegeneration, we probe this relationship in the pathologically relevant tissue, the brain, by quantifying three specific mitochondrial ROS and manipulating these redox species pharmacologically. Our goal is to ask whether pathology-associated changes in redox state are detrimental for survival, whether they may be beneficial responses to pathology, or whether they are simply covariates of pathology that do not alter viability. We find, surprisingly, that increasing mitochondrial H2O2 correlates with improved survival. We also find evidence that drugs that alter the mitochondrial glutathione redox potential modulate survival primarily through the compensatory effects they induce rather than through their direct effects on the final mitochondrial glutathione redox potential per se. We also find that the response to treatment with a redox-altering drug varies dramatically depending on the age at which the drug is administered, the duration of the treatment, and the genotype of the individual receiving the drug. These data have important implications for the design and interpretation of studies investigating the effect of redox state on health and disease as well as on efforts to modify the redox state to achieve therapeutic goals.

Cdk5 drives formation of heterogeneous pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Project description:Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous population of neoplasms that arise from hormone-secreting islet cells of the pancreas and have increased markedly in incidence over the past four decades. Non-functional PanNETs, which occur more frequently than hormone-secreting tumors, are often not diagnosed until later stages of tumor development and have poorer prognoses. Development of successful therapeutics for PanNETs has been slow, partially due to a lack of diverse animal models for pre-clinical testing. Here, we report development of an inducible, conditional mouse model of PanNETs by using a bitransgenic system for regulated expression of the aberrant activator of Cdk5, p25, specifically in b-islet cells. This model produces a heterogeneous population of PanNETs that includes a subgroup of well-differentiated, non-functional tumors. The utility of this model is enhanced by ability to form tumor-derived allografts. Production of these tumors demonstrates the causative potential of aberrantly active Cdk5 for generation of PanNETs. Further, we show that human PanNETs express Cdk5 pathway components, are dependent on Cdk5 for growth, and share genetic and transcriptional overlap with the INS-p25OE model. This new model of PanNETs will facilitate molecular delineation of Cdk5-dependent PanNETs and the development of new targeted therapeutics.

CDK5-dependent phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of TRIM59 promotes macroH2A1 ubiquitination and tumorigenicity

Project description:Despite the development of adjuvant therapies, glioblastoma (GBM) patients remain incurable and justify the urgent need of new therapies. CDK5 functions a critical role in GBM and is a potential target for GBM. However, the mechanism by which CDK5 promotes GBM tumorigenicity remains largely unknown. Here we identify TRIM59 as a substrate of CDK5. EGFR-activated CDK5 directly binds to and phosphorylates TRIM59, a ubiquitin ligase at serine 308, which recruits PIN1 for cis-trans isomerization of TRIM59, leading to TRIM59 binding to importin a5 and nuclear translocation. Nuclear TRIM59 induces ubiquitination and degradation of the tumor suppressive histone variant macroH2A1, leading to enhanced STAT3 signaling activation and tumorigenicity. These findings are confirmed by inhibition of CDK5-activated TRIM59 activity that results in suppression of intracranial tumor growth. Correlative expressions of the components of this pathway are clinically prognostic. Our findings suggest targeting CDK5/TRIM59 signaling axis as a putative strategy for treating GBM.

CDK5 inhibition abrogates TNBC stem-cell property and enhances anti-PD-1 therapy

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer that shows high infiltration of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which correlates with poor clinical outcome. Here, we have demonstrated that an aberrant activation of CDK5/pho-PPARg axis associated with TNBC progression closely. CDK5 blockade sufficiently abrogates stemness transformation of TNBC cells, resulting in a significant inhibition of tumor metastatic progression. Moreover, CDK5 inhibitor Rosc attenuates CD44v+ BCSCs, hereby reversing immunosuppressive microenvironment and enhancing anti-PD-1 effects on TNBC. Mechanistically, CDK5/pho-PPARgaxis modulates the ESRP1 degradation via E3 ligase-like activity, leading to CD44 variant (CD44v) expression. Our finding indicates that CDK5 blockade could be a potent strategy to target CSCs in TNBC, and to increase the response to PD-1 blockade in TNBC therapy.

CDK5 activates Hippo signaling to confer resistance to radiotherapy via upregulating TAZ in lung cancer

Project description:Tumor resistance to radiotherapy is a therapeutic challenge in the treatment of patients with lung cancer. Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) has been proposed to participate in cell proliferation, migration and invasion; drug resistance; and immune evasion. However, the functions and regulatory mechanisms of CDK5 in lung cancer radioresistance have not been investigated.SiRNAs and ShRNAs were used to knock down CDK5 in A549 and H1299 cells. The effects of CDK5 depletion on the tumorigenic behaviors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Gene expression was examined by RNA-seq and quantitative real-time PCR.

Profiling of gene expression during aging in isolated bodies of wild type vs Cdk5a-mutant Drosophila melanogaster.

Project description:To provide a consistent background for studies of the link between neurodegeneration and aging, we performed microarray-based expression profiling (Affymetrix) of RNA isolated from the bodies of adult Drosophila at various ages from either wild type flies (Oregon R), or flies bearing a null mutation of the gene encoding the Cdk5 activator (Cdk5a). Note that all flies were wild type for the chromosomal white locus due to the pleiotropic effects of the w locus on many neuronal and physiological functions of the adult fly. In order to match samples by ‘physiological age’ in the two populations, WT flies were collected at 10 days, 20 days, 41 days and 58 days after eclosion and Cdk5a flies were collected at 10, 23, and 31 days (NOTE: 41 days for WT and 23 days for Cdk5a corresponded to <10% population mortality; 58 days (WT) and 31 days (Cdk5a) corresponded to ~50% population mortality in this experiment). These samples provide a well-matched basis for identification of genes with age-dependent expression level in each of the two genotypes and for comparison of differences in expression between the genotypes.
