Project description:The Wnt signaling pathway is deregulated in over 90% of human colorectal cancers. β Catenin, the central signal transducer of the Wnt pathway, can directly modulate gene expression by interacting with transcription factors of the TCF/LEF-family. In the present study we investigate the role of Wnt signaling in the homeostasis of intestinal epithelium using tissue-specific, inducible beta-catenin gene ablation in adult mice. Block of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling resulted in rapid loss of transient-amplifying cells and crypt structures. Importantly, intestinal stem cells were induced to terminally differentiate upon deletion of beta-catenin resulting in a complete block of intestinal homeostasis and fatal loss of intestinal function. Transcriptional profiling of mutant crypt mRNA isolated by laser capture micro dissection confirmed those observations and allowed to identify genes potentially responsible for the functional preservation of intestinal stem cells. Experiment Overall Design: laser capture microdissection of intestinal crypts, control vs. beta-catenin mutant (2days after induction of deletion by tamoxifen), two rounds of amplification of mRNA

Project description:Both FGF and WNT pathways play important roles in embryonic development, stem cell self-renewal and are frequently deregulated in breast cancer. To study the cooperation between FGF and WNT signaling, we have generated a mouse model, MMTV-WNT1/MMTV-iFGFR1 (WNT/iR1), in which we could chemically overactivate iFGFR1 in a ligand-independent manner.

Project description:Conserved neuropathologies across multiple neurodegenerative diseases have identified shared causal pathways for neurodegeneration. One pathway involves the RNA-binding protein TDP-43, whose nuclear exclusion and cytoplasmic accumulation are established drivers of neurodegeneration. TDP-43 mislocalization is attributed to defective nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The vertebrate-specific six-transmembrane enzyme, Glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase 2 (GDE2 or GDPD5), cleaves the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor that tethers some proteins to the membrane. Here, we show that loss of GDE2 leads to aberrant sustained activation of canonical Wnt signaling in adult neurons, which is sufficient to cause NCT and nuclear pore abnormalities and the nuclear exclusion of TDP-43. GDE2 disruption coincides with TDP-43 nuclear exclusion in postmortem tissue from patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and neuronal Wnt signaling is erroneously activated in Drosophila and induced human spinal neuronal (iSN) models of ALS. Wnt knockdown in Drosophila ALS models mitigates cell death, while pharmacological inhibition of Wnt activation in iSNs from ALS patients rescues mRNA levels of known TDP-43 splicing targets. Our study identifies GDE2 as a critical regulator of Wnt signaling in adult neurons and highlights Wnt pathway activation as a previously unappreciated mechanism contributing to NCT and TDP-43 abnormalities in disease.

Project description:The aim of our study was to identify gene expression profiles of ductal and lobular carcinomas in relation to normal ductal and lobular cells. We examined ten mastectomy specimens from postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Ductal and lobular tumor and normal cells were microdissected from cryosections. Fifty nanograms of total RNA were amplified and labeled by PCR and in vitro transcription. GCOS pairwise comparison algorithm and rank products have identified multiple genes that are differentially expressed in comparisons between ductal and lobular tumor and normal cell types. The results suggest that these genes are involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition, TGFbeta and Wnt signaling. These changes are present in both tumor types but appear to be more prominent in lobular carcinomas. Ten surgical specimens obtained by mastectomy from postmenopausal patients with invasive ductal (IDC) and lobular breast (ILC) carcinomas were investigated. Of these, 5 were IDCs and 5 were ILCs. Tumor and normal tissues from the same mammary gland were identified by an experienced pathologist, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80ºC for further analysis. Microdissection, RNA isolation, amplification, labeling and microarray analysis are described in sample definitions. Samples from particular cell types (normal ductal, normal lobular, tumor ductal, tumor lobular - 10, 10, 5, 5 samples, respectively) were considered as biological replicates and were compared in between.

Project description:Aberrant activation of WNT signaling and loss of BMP signals represent the two main alterations leading to the initiation of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here we screen for genes required for maintaining the tumor stem cell phenotype and identify the zinc-finger transcription factor GATA6 as key regulator of the WNT and BMP pathways in CRC. GATA6 directly drives the expression of LGR5 in adenoma stem cells while it restricts BMP signaling to differentiated tumor cells. Genetic deletion of Gata6 in mouse colon adenomas increases the levels of BMP factors, which signal to block self-renewal of tumor stem cells. In human tumors, GATA6 represses BMP4 gene expression through binding to a regulatory region that has been previously linked to increased susceptibility to develop CRC. Thus, GATA6 creates a permissive environment for tumor stem cell expansion by controlling the major signaling pathways that influence CRC initiation. Total RNA from biological replicates of VillinCreERT2Gata6+/+Apcfl/fl and VillinCreERT2Gata6fl/flApcfl/fl colon adenoma tumor organoids grown for one week in control media (see growth protocol).Total RNA was extracted using the TRIzolM-BM-. Plus RNA Purification Kit (Life Technologies).

Project description:The gain-of-function mutation in the pleckstrin homology domain of AKT1 (AKT1E17K) occurs in lung and breast cancer. By use of human cellular models and of a AKT1E17K transgenic Cre-inducible murine strain (R26-AKT1E17K mice) we have demonstrated that AKT1E17K is a bona-fide oncogene for lung epithelial cells. However, the role of AKT1E17K in breast cancer remains to be determined. Here, we report the generation and the characterization of a MMTV-CRE;R26-AKT1E17K mouse strain that expresses the mutant AKT1E17K allele in the mammary epithelium. We observed that R26AKT1E17K;MMTV-Cre mice presented a variety of proliferative alterations of the mammary epithelium that were classified as adenosis with low-to-high grade dysplasia. In addition, AKT1E17K stimulates the development of mammary tumors with incidence of 43%. Tumors were morphologically classified as ductal adenocarcinoma of medium-high grade though subsequent immunoistochemical characterization suggested they were of basal-like origin, being PR-/HER2-/ERα+ and CK8-/CK10-/CK5+/CK14+. We also observed that tumors expressing mutant AKT1E17K presented activation of the downstream signaling axis GSK3/cyclin D1 in mammary epithelium, in parallel with increased proliferation rate as demonstrated by cell number count and measurement of Ki67. In conclusion, AKT1E17K is a bona fidae oncogene that is able to initiate tumors at high efficiency in murine mammary epithelium in vivo.

Project description:Reptin forms multiple inter-subunit protein-protein interaction contacts. Rate-limiting motifs in ligand-dependent oligomer assembly are not defined. We set up a Reptin-self peptide scan assay to identify functional protein-protein interfaces that dominate in Reptin self assembly. The most dominant self-peptide binding mapped to the inter-subunit “rim” of the Reptin oligomer that is formed a tyrosine finger binding into an adjacent hydrophobic region in an adjacent subunit. Reptin binding to the tyrosine finger peptide motif is suppressed by Liddean or ADP suggesting that oligomer formation excludes the self-peptide from binding. HDX-mass spectrometry demonstrated that ATP suppressed deuteration at the dimer interface in both wt and Y340A Reptin. However, the Y340A mutation attenuated deuterium suppression of Reptin within the tyrosine finger in the presence of ligand. The tyrosine finger of Reptin interacts with a more shallow pocket in Pontin. Gel filtration demonstrated that the Y340A Reptin mutant does not form ADP-induced oligomers compared to the D299N mutant or wt- Reptin. The Y340A mutation shows increased AGR2 binding but decreased Pontin or p53 binding. These data indicate that the Y340 tyrosine “finger” plays an important role in stabilizing the Reptin oligomer in the presence of ligand. We propose that the Reptin interactome is regulated by ligand-dependent conversion between monomeric and oligomeric forms that is regulated by a divergent inter-subunit protein-protein interaction motif.

Genetic deletion of Gata6 in mouse colon adenomas increases the levels of BMP factors, which signal to block self-renewal of tumor stem cells. In human tumors, GATA6 competes with beta-catenin/TCF4 for binding to a distal regulatory region of the BMP4 locus that has been previously linked to increased susceptibility to develop CRC. Hence, GATA6 creates a permissive environment for tumor stem cell expansion by controlling the major signaling pathways that influence CRC initiation. A 4-hydoxy tamoxifen inducible system was used to inducibly block beta-catenin/TCF activity for a period of 36h. Briefly, the ERT2 domain from the pCMV-CRE-ERT2 (Feil et al., 1996) was amplified by PCR and cloned into a modified FUGW lentiviral vector backbone (Lois et al., 2002). NTCF was then amplified byPCR from the pCDNA3.1-NTCF-NLS (van de Wetering et al., 2002) and cloned in frame upstream of the ERT2 from the FUW-CMV-ERT2 (ET) to create the FUW-CMV-NTCF-ERT2 (NET). Total RNA was extracted using the TRIzolM-BM-. Plus RNA Purification Kit (Life Technologies).
