Project description:Despite the prevalence of KRAS mutations in colorectal cancer, there is no K-Ras targeted therapies for these tumors and available treatment options are limited for metastatic disease. GSK-3β has been demonstrated to be a critically important kinase for survival and proliferation of K-Ras-depended pancreatic cancer cells. In this study we tested 9-ING-41, a small molecule inhibitor of GSK-3β, in patient-derived tumor organoid models of colorectal cancer. We demonstrated that addition of 9-ING-41 to the standard of care drugs 5-FU and oxaliplatin could significantly enhance inhibition of the growth of colorectal cancer cells harboring KRAS mutations. The results of the transcriptomic analysis support our findings of cell cycle arrest and DNA repair deficiency in 9-ING-41-treated colorectal cancer cells. Moreover, we found substantial similarity in the changes of transcriptomic profile after inhibition of GSK-3β and suppression of STK33, another critically important kinase for K-Ras-dependent cells. Overall, the results of this study provide a rationale for the inclusion of patients with mutant KRAS colorectal cancer in clinical studies of 9-ING-41 and other GSK-3 inhibitors.

Project description:Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) has been recently identified as an important regulator of stem cell function. In vitro studies show that GSK-3β inhibition delays proliferation of human haematopoietic progenitor cells while increasing numbers of late dividing multipotent progenitors. Gene expression analysis revealed that GSK-3β inhibition modulates the expression of a subset of genes that are transcriptional targets for cytokines. GSK-3β inhibition antagonised down-regulation of genes encoding cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p57 and a member of the growth arrest and DNA damage 45 family, GADD45B as well as up-regulation of cyclin D1 by cytokines, providing a possible mechanism for the BIO-induced delay in cell cycle progression. Surprisingly, inhibition of GSK-3β earlier shown to prevent β-catenin degradation and promote the nuclear accumulation of β-catenin was not sufficient to activate its transcriptional targets in haematopoietic stem cells. GSK-3β inhibition up-regulated the expression of a several positive regulators of stem cell function suppressed during cytokine-induced proliferation. The data supports a clinical role for GSK-3β inhibition to improve engraftment efficiency of ex vivo expanded stem cells.

Project description:GSK-3β is a potentially important therapeutic target in human malignancies. The Actuate 1801 Phase 1/2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 9-ING-41, a potent GSK-3β inhibitor, as a single agent and in combination with cytotoxic agents, in patients with refractory cancers.

Project description:Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) represents the most commonly diagnosed precursor lesion of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), however the cell-of-origin remains unclear. Herein, we show that pancreas-specific activation in mice of nuclear-targeted glycogen synthase kinase-3β and oncogenic KRasG12D leads to the loss of acinar cells, the expansion of ductal cells, and the rapid development of IPMN with low-grade dysplasia. RNA-sequencing identified the expression of several ductal stem cell lineage genes including the water channel AQP5. The Aqp5+ pancreatic ductal cell pool was proliferative, phenotypically distinct from mature pancreatic ductal cells, and deletion of AQP5 limited IPMN development. Significantly, Aqp5 is highly expressed in human IPMN along with GSK-3b suggesting that human preneoplastic lesions likely arise from the expansion of an Aqp5+ pancreatic ductal stem cell. Altogether, these data identify Aqp5+ ductal cells in the mouse and human pancreas as the likely cell-of-origin for IPMN.

Project description:To analyze the roles of GSK-3β in podocytes, GSK-3β knockdown lentivirus by Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein (Cas)9 was applied to establish stable cell lines. Phosphoproteome and proteome evaluation was conducted using TMT labeled LC-MS/MS technologies.

Project description:Nuclear myosin 1c (NM1) mediates RNA polymerase I (pol I) transcription activation and cell cycle progression by facilitating PCAF-mediated H3K9 acetylation, but the molecular mechanism by which NM1 is regulated remains unclear. Here, we report that at early G1 the glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β phosphorylates and stabilizes NM1, allowing for NM1 association with the chromatin. Genomic analysis by ChIP-Seq showed that this mechanism occurs on the rDNA as active GSK3β selectively occupies the gene. ChIP assays and transmission electron microscopy in GSK3β-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts indicated that at G1 rRNA synthesis is suppressed due to decreased H3K9 acetylation leading to a chromatin state incompatible with transcription. We found that GSK3β directly phosphorylates the endogenous NM1 on a single serine residue (Ser-1020) located within the NM1 C-terminus. In G1 this phosphorylation event stabilizes NM1 and prevents NM1 polyubiquitination by the E3 ligase UBR5 and proteasome-mediated degradation. We conclude that GSK3β-mediated phosphorylation of NM1 is required for pol I transcription activation. Examination of GSK3beta with the genome in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and lethal types of cancer. Although researchers have made significant efforts to study the mechanisms underlying CRC drug resistance, our knowledge of this disease is still limited, and novel therapies are in high demand. It is urgent to find new targeted therapy considering limited chemotherapy options. KRAS mutations are the most frequent molecular alterations in CRC. However, there are no approved K-Ras targeted therapies for these tumors yet. GSK-3β is demonstrated to be a critically important kinase for the survival and proliferation of K-Ras-dependent pancreatic cancer cells. In this study, we tested combinations of standard-of-care therapy and 9-ING-41, a small molecule inhibitor of GSK-3β, in CRC cell lines and patient-derived tumor organoid models of CRC. We demonstrate that 9-ING-41 inhibits the growth of CRC cells via a distinct from chemotherapy mechanism of action. Although molecular biomarkers of 9-ING-41 efficacy are yet to be identified, the addition of 9-ING-41 to the standard-of-care drugs 5-FU and oxaliplatin could significantly enhance growth inhibition in certain CRC cells. The results of the transcriptomic analysis support our findings of cell cycle arrest and DNA repair deficiency in 9-ING-41-treated CRC cells. Notably, we find substantial similarity in the changes of the transcriptomic profile after inhibition of GSK-3β and suppression of STK33, another critically important kinase for K-Ras-dependent cells, which could be an interesting point for future research. Overall, the results of this study provide a rationale for the further investigation of GSK-3 inhibitors in combination with standard-of-care treatment of CRC.

Project description:A growing body of literature evaluates the potential anti-cancer and immunostimulatory effects of GSK-3 inhibition. Accordingly, we sought to evaluate GSK-3 inhibitor elraglusib (9-ING-41) and its impact on gene expression in both human colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines and human immune cell lines. We used microarrays to detail the differential gene expression that occurs post-treatment with GSK-3 inhibitor 9-ING-41 (elraglusib).

Project description:Cerebellar development requires regulated proliferation of cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (CGNPs). Inadequate CGNP proliferation causes cerebellar hypoplasia while excessive CGNP proliferation can cause medulloblastoma, the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor. Although Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling is known to activate CGNP proliferation, the mechanisms down-regulating proliferation are less defined. We investigated CGNP regulation by GSK-3, which down-regulates proliferation in the forebrain, gut and breast by suppressing mitogenic WNT signaling. In striking contrast, we found that co-deleting Gsk-3α and Gsk-3β blocked CGNP proliferation, causing severe cerebellar hypoplasia. Transcriptomic analysis showed activated WNT signaling and up-regulated Cdkn1a in Gsk-3-deleted CGNPs. These data show that a GSK-3/WNT axis modulates the developmental proliferation of CGNPs and the pathologic growth of SHH-driven medulloblastoma. The requirement for GSK-3 in SHH-driven proliferation suggests that GSK-3 may be targeted for SHH-driven medulloblastoma therapy. In this experiment, we dissociated cells from whole cerebella collected from postnatal day 1 (P1) mice with the indicated genotypes.
