Project description:Over 85% of lung cancer patients harbor overt or subclinical metastases at diagnosis, and therefore most patients die of progressive metastatic disease despite aggressive local and systemic therapies. Somatic mutations in the Smad4 gene have been found in non-small-cell lung cancer, but the underlying mechanism by which Smad4 loss-of-function (LOF) accelerates lung cancer metastasis is yet to be elucidated. Here, we generated a highly aggressive lung cancer mouse model bearing conditional KrasG12D, p53fl/fl LOF and/or Smad4 fl/fl LOF mutations. The Smad4fl/fl; p53 fl/fl; KrasG12D (SPK) mutant mice manifested a much higher incidence of tumor metastases than the p53 fl/fl; KrasG12D (PK) mice. Molecularly, PAK3 was identified as a novel downstream effector of Smad4, mediating metastatic signal transduction via the PAK3-JNK-Jun pathway. Upregulation of PAK3 by Smad4 LOF in SPK mice was achieved by attenuating Smad4-dependent transcription of miR-495 and miR-543. These microRNAs (miRNAs) directly bind to the PAK3 3’UTR for blockade of PAK3 production, ultimately regulating lung cancer metastasis. An inverse correlation between Smad4 and PAK3 pathway components suggests clinical use of Smad4 LOF as a potential marker for prognosis in human lung cancer. Our study highlights the Smad4-PAK3 regulation as a point of potential therapy in metastatic lung cancer.

Project description:We have reported previously that in preclinical models, BMP4 is a potent inhibitor of breast cancer metastasis and that high BMP4 protein levels predict favourable patient outcome. Here, we investigated the requirement for functional SMAD4 in mediating the anti-metastatic response of BMP4, given reports of promotion of metastasis by BMP4 in cancers where SMAD4 is frequently deleted. BMP4-induced inhibition of metastasis does not require functional SMAD4 in tumor cells. However, tumor cell intrinsic signalling using a constitutively active BMP receptor does require functional SMAD4 to suppress metastasis, thus implicating BMP4 mediated paracrine signalling as a contributor to the inhibition of metastasis.

Project description:Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death. Genome sequencing of lung tumors from patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma has identified SMAD4 to be frequently mutated. Here we used a novel mouse model to determine the molecular mechanisms regulated by loss of Smad4 which lead to lung cancer progression. Mice with ablation of Pten and Smad4 in airway epithelium developed metastatic adenosquamous tumors. Comparative transcriptomic and in vivo cistromic analyses determined that loss of PTEN and SMAD4 resulted in activation of the ELF3 and the ErbB2 pathway due to decreased ERRFI1 expression, a negative regulator of ERBB2 in mice and human cells. The combinatorial inhibition of ErbB2 and Akt signaling attenuated tumor progression and cell invasion, respectively. Expression profiles analysis of human lung tumors substantiated the importance of the ErbB2/Akt/ELF3 signaling pathway as both prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic drug targets for treating lung cancer. The microarray data includes two different ages of mouse lung samples. The microarray for the study on late stage was did on 12-month-old wild type mouse lungs and Ptend/dSmad4d/d mouse lung tumors. This study was used to identify the significantly changed genes between lung tumors and wild type lungs. The microarray for the study on early stage was did on 7-month-old wild type, Ptend/d and Ptend/dSmad4d/d mouse lungs. This study was used to identify the significantly changed driven genes before the lung tumor initiation and metastasis.

Project description:In the current work, we add to the understanding of differentiated-cell-derived tumorigenesis by demonstrating that simultaneous loss of SMAD4 and activation of the WNT pathway triggers stem cell properties and adenoma formation in the differentiated epithelium. Under normal conditions, SMAD4 loss does not immediately affect the normal tissue homeostasis in the intestine. However, after approximately 6 months, adenomas will develop and feature elevated WNT signaling, suggesting that SMAD4 loss predisposes to WNT-driven tumors. Interestingly, ectopic elevation of WNT in the context of a SMAD4 mutant background triggers stem cell activity and adenoma formation in the differentiated epithelium. Thus Smad4 functions to suppress villus cells from re-entering the cell cycle and functioning as stem cells upon exposure to high levels of WNT. Thus, we report a new mechanism through which differentiated cells can contribute to tumor formation.

Project description:PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4 is a transgenic mouse model of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma (PMID: 21289624). To study the transcriptomic alterations associated with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), the PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4 males with established prostate cancer were treated with surgical castration followed by enzalutamide-admixed diet. After about 4 weeks, dorsolateral prostate (DLP) lobes of treatment-naïve prostate tumors (N=2) and CRPC tumors (N=3) were harvested and extracted for RNA purification and microarray profiling. To further study the transcriptomic changes associated with lung metastases of the PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4/mTmG CRPC model, the PB-Cre/Pten/Smad4 males with established prostate cancer were treated with surgical castration followed by enzalutamide-admixed diet. About 3 months later, from one mouse anterior prostate (AP), dorsolateral prostate (DLP), ventral prostate (VP) and GFP+ lung metastasis nodules were each harvested for RNA purification and microarray profiling.

Project description:Abstract The aggressive nature and poor prognosis of lung cancer led us to explore the mechanisms driving disease progression. Utilizing our invasive cell-based model, we identified methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) and confirmed its suppressive effects on tumorigenesis and metastasis, and patients with low MTAP expression displayed worse overall and progression-free survival. Mechanistically, accumulation of methylthioadenosine substrate in MTAP-deficient cells reduced the level of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5)-mediated symmetric dimethylarginine (sDMA) modification on proteins. Vimentin was revealed as a novel dimethyl-protein with less dimethylation level in response to MTAP loss. The sDMA modification on vimentin reduces its protein abundance and trivially affects its filamentous structure. In MTAP-loss cells, lower sDMA level prevents ubiquitination-mediated vimentin degradation, thereby stabilizing vimentin, contributing to cell invasion. This inverse association of the MTAP/PRMT5 axis with vimentin proteins was clinically corroborated. Taken together, we propose a novel mechanism of vimentin post-translational regulation and provide new insights in metastasis.
