Domain-specific p53 mutants activate EGFR by distinct mechanisms exposing tissue-independent therapeutic vulnerabilities

ABSTRACT: Mis-sense mutations affecting TP53 promote carcinogenesis both by inactivating its tumor suppressive functions, and by conferring aberrant pro-carcinogenic activities. We report here that mis-sense mutants in the p53 DNA-binding domain (DBD) and the transactivation domain (TAD) unexpectedly activate pro-carcinogenic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling via distinct, previously unrecognized molecular mechanisms. DBD- and TAD-specific TP53 mutants exhibited different cellular localization patterns and induced distinct gene expression profiles. Combining mass spectrometry with drug compound screens, we identified EGFR as a major signaling factor that is stabilized by TAD and DBD mutants in the cytosolic and nuclear compartments respectively, in a tissue-independent manner. Mechanistically, TAD mutants promote EGFR-mediated signaling by enhancing EGFR interaction with AKT via DDX31 in the cytosol. Conversely, DBD mutants maintain EGFR activity in the nucleus, by blocking EGFR interaction with the phosphatase SHP1, triggering upregulation of c-Myc and Cyclin D1 levels. Therapeutically, the sensitivity of DBD mutants to EGFR inhibition is enhanced by increasing the affinity of EGFR for SHP1, while that of TAD mutants can be induced by concurrent inhibition of AKT, mTOR or PI3K signaling. Thus, our findings suggest that gain-of-function, mis-sense mutations affecting two different p53 domains promote carcinogenesis by enhancing EGFR signaling via distinctive mechanisms. Our findings imply that cancer cells bearing domain-specific mutations may have distinct and exploitable therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Project description:Bidkhori2012 - EGFR signalling in NSCLC The paper describes and compares two models on EGFR signalling between normal and NSCLC cells. Moreover, it is shown that ERK (MAPK), STAT and Akt factor's activation pattern are different between normal and NSCLA models. This model corresponds to EGFR signalling in NSCLA cells. Created by The MathWorks, Inc. SimBiology tool, Version 3.3 This model is described in the article: Modeling of tumor progression in NSCLC and intrinsic resistance to TKI in loss of PTEN expression. Bidkhori G, Moeini A, Masoudi-Nejad A PloS one [2012, 7(10):e48004] Abstract: EGFR signaling plays a very important role in NSCLC. It activates Ras/ERK, PI3K/Akt and STAT activation pathways. These are the main pathways for cell proliferation and survival. We have developed two mathematical models to relate to the different EGFR signaling in NSCLC and normal cells in the presence or absence of EGFR and PTEN mutations. The dynamics of downstream signaling pathways vary in the disease state and activation of some factors can be indicative of drug resistance. Our simulation denotes the effect of EGFR mutations and increased expression of certain factors in NSCLC EGFR signaling on each of the three pathways where levels of pERK, pSTAT and pAkt are increased. Over activation of ERK, Akt and STAT3 which are the main cell proliferation and survival factors act as promoting factors for tumor progression in NSCLC. In case of loss of PTEN, Akt activity level is considerably increased. Our simulation results show that in the presence of erlotinib, downstream factors i.e. pAkt, pSTAT3 and pERK are inhibited. However, in case of loss of PTEN expression in the presence of erlotinib, pAkt level would not decrease which demonstrates that these cells are resistant to erlotinib.

Project description:We analyzed mutations in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Tyrosine kinase (TK) domain, EGFR expression and gene profiling in prostate carcinoma (PC) in order to find out molecular prognostic markers and supply a proof for EGFR targeted therapies. 100 glyofixx-fixed, paraffin-embedded PC specimens were recovered after radical prostatectomy from locally advanced PC patients. Exons from 18 to 21 of EGFR TK domain were amplified and sequenced. For the entire cohort, EGFR protein evaluation by immunohistochemistry was performed. Gene expression profile was analyzed on 51 out of 100 samples by whole genome microarray. Statistical tests were performed in order to detect any significant association between EGFR iperexpression and prognosis. None out of 100 specimens presented mutations in exon 18; 2 point mutations were identified in exon 19, 5 in exon 20 and 6 in exon 21. In addiction, 58 out of 100 patients had the same silent mutation, at codon 787 in exon 20. EGFR iper-expression was found in 36% of specimens and was significantly associated with biochemical relapse. Gene profiling analysis on mutated samples selected 29 modulated genes differentially expressed between mutated EGFR+ and mutated EGFR- samples; 4 down-regulated genes, EAF2, ABCC4, KLK3 and ANXA3 and one up-regulated gene, FOXC1, are involved in prostate cancer progression. Our findings suggest that a subgroup of PC patients could potentially benefit of EGFR targeted therapies. The EGFR protein evaluation could contribute to identify PC relapsers. Keywords: EGFR expression, TK mutations, target therapy, microarray data. In this work we studied mutation status and expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) in a case series of 100 primary prostate cancer tissue specimens. Results indicate that 13% and 36% of PC patients presents EGFR tyrosine kinase domain mutations and iperexpression respectively, suggesting that this receptor could be a therapeutic target in progressive prostate cancer. The analysis of correlation between EGFR protein expression, mutations, clinical parameters and outcome allow us to identify EGFR as significantly associated with biochemical relapse and high Gleason score. Gene expression profiling in 51 of PC tissues led to the identification of a gene list which separated EGFR mutated patients according to EGFR protein expression. These results could give more information on clinical outcome and possible development of new targeted therapies.

Project description:Most adult patients have a D816V mutation in phosphotransferase domain (PTD), we have described that half of the children carry mutations in extracellular domain (ECD). KIT-ECD versus IT-PTD-mutants were introduced into rodent Ba/F3, EML, Rat2 and human TF1 cells to investigate their biological effect. ECD- and PTD-mutants also displayed distinct whole-genome transcriptional profiles in EML cells. We observed differences in their signaling properties: they both activated STAT pathways, whereas AKT pathway was only activated by ECD-mutants. Consistently, AKT inhibitor suppressed ECD-mutant-dependent proliferation, clonogenicity and erythroid differentiation. Expression of myristoylated AKT restored erythroid differentiation in EMLPTD cells, suggesting the differential role of AKT in those mutants. Overall, our study implied different pathogenesis of pediatric versus adult mastocytosis, which might explain their diverse phenotypes. Each EML cell line (Del417-419insY mutant and D816V mutant) was cultured with or without 250 ng/mL SCF for 48h. Gene expression profile analysis was performed using whole-genome microarrays. RNA expression profiling of cell lines was done with Affymetrix M430 2.0 mouse oligonucleotide microarrays containing 45.101 probe sets, representing 21.408 transcripts and variants including 17.482 well-characterized mouse genes. Preparation of cRNA, hybridizations, washes, detection and quantification were done as recommended by the supplier. For each sample, synthesis of the first-strand cDNA was done from 3 μg total RNA by T7-oligo(dT) priming, followed by second-strand cDNA synthesis. After purification, in vitro transcription associated with amplification generated cRNA-containing biotinylated pseudouridine. Biotinylated cRNA was purified, quantified and chemically fragmented (95°C for 35 min), then hybridized to microarrays in 200 μL hybridization buffer at 45°C for 16 h. Automated washes and staining with streptavidin-phycoerythrin were done as recommended. Signal amplification was done by biotinylated antistreptavidin antibody with goat-IgG blocking antibody. Scanning was done with Affymetrix GeneArray scanner and quantification with Affymetrix GCOS software.

Project description:Orton2009 - Modelling cancerous mutations in the EGFR/ERK pathway - EGF Model This model studies the aberrations in ERK signalling for different cancer mutations. The authors alter a previously existing EGF model (Brown et al 2004) to include new interactions that better fit empirical data. Predictions show that the ERK signalling is a robust mechanism taking different courses for different cancer mutations. Most parameter values are used from the previous model and the new parameters are estimated using experimental data performed by the authors on PC12 cells (adrenal gland, rat). The authors provide an SBML version of the model in the paper. This model is described in the article: Computational modelling of cancerous mutations in the EGFR/ERK signalling pathway. Orton RJ, Adriaens ME, Gormand A, Sturm OE, Kolch W, Gilbert DR. BMC Syst Biol 2009 Oct; 3: 100 Abstract: The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) activated Extracellular-signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) pathway is a critical cell signalling pathway that relays the signal for a cell to proliferate from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. Deregulation of the EGFR/ERK pathway due to alterations affecting the expression or function of a number of pathway components has long been associated with numerous forms of cancer. Under normal conditions, Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) stimulates a rapid but transient activation of ERK as the signal is rapidly shutdown. Whereas, under cancerous mutation conditions the ERK signal cannot be shutdown and is sustained resulting in the constitutive activation of ERK and continual cell proliferation. In this study, we have used computational modelling techniques to investigate what effects various cancerous alterations have on the signalling flow through the ERK pathway.We have generated a new model of the EGFR activated ERK pathway, which was verified by our own experimental data. We then altered our model to represent various cancerous situations such as Ras, B-Raf and EGFR mutations, as well as EGFR overexpression. Analysis of the models showed that different cancerous situations resulted in different signalling patterns through the ERK pathway, especially when compared to the normal EGF signal pattern. Our model predicts that cancerous EGFR mutation and overexpression signals almost exclusively via the Rap1 pathway, predicting that this pathway is the best target for drugs. Furthermore, our model also highlights the importance of receptor degradation in normal and cancerous EGFR signalling, and suggests that receptor degradation is a key difference between the signalling from the EGF and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) receptors.Our results suggest that different routes to ERK activation are being utilised in different cancerous situations which therefore has interesting implications for drug selection strategies. We also conducted a comparison of the critical differences between signalling from different growth factor receptors (namely EGFR, mutated EGFR, NGF, and Insulin) with our results suggesting the difference between the systems are large scale and can be attributed to the presence/absence of entire pathways rather than subtle difference in individual rate constants between the systems.
