Project description:Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a disease caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, and is characterized by tumor susceptibility, brain lesions, seizures and behavioral impairments. The TSC1 and TSC2 genes encode proteins forming a complex (TSC), which is a major regulator and suppressor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in complex 1 (mTORC1), a signaling complex that promotes cell growth and proliferation. TSC1/2 loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and the subsequent complete loss of TSC regulatory activity in null cells causes mTORC1 dysregulation and TSC-associated brain lesions or other tissue tumors. However, it is not clear whether TSC1/2 heterozygous brain cells are abnormal and contribute to TSC neuropathology. To investigate this issue, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from TSC patients and unaffected controls, and utilized these to obtain neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and differentiated neurons in vitro. These patient-derived TSC2 heterozygous NPCs were delayed in their ability to differentiate into neurons. Patient-derived progenitor cells also exhibited a modest activation of mTORC1 signaling downstream of TSC, and a marked attenuation of upstream PI3K/AKT signaling. We further show that pharmacologic AKT inhibition, but not mTORC1 inhibition, causes a neuronal differentiation delay, mimicking the patient phenotype. Together these data suggest that heterozygous TSC2 mutations disrupt neuronal development, potentially contributing to the disease neuropathology, and that this defect may result from dysregulated AKT signaling in neural progenitor cells.

Project description:Ezrin, an actin-binding protein, plays a crucial role in organizing the cellular cortical cytoskeleton and plasma membrane during cell migration, adhesion, and proliferation. While there is a good understanding of ezrin's function in cell types such as epithelial cells and lymphocytes, its role in monocytes/macrophages (MΦs) is less understood. Here, we used a monocyte/MΦ-specific ezrin knock-out mouse model to investigate the contribution of ezrin to monocyte recruitment and adaptation to the lung extracellular matrix (ECM) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Our study revealed that LPS induces ezrin expression in monocytes/MΦs, and that ezrin is essential for monocytes to adhere to lung ECM, proliferate, and differentiate into tissue-resident interstitial MΦs. Notably, ezrin is not required for monocyte extravasation into the lung parenchyma. Mechanistically, the loss of ezrin in monocytes disrupts activation of FAK and AKT signaling, which are necessary for lung-recruited monocytes and monocyte-derived MΦs to adhere to the ECM, proliferate, and survive. In summary, our data suggest that ezrin plays a role beyond structural cellular support, influencing diverse monocytes/MΦ processes and signaling pathways in response to infections, driving their adaptation to the lung microenvironment.

Project description:Elevated expression and activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway is associated with development, progression and treatment resistance of head and neck cancer (HNC). Several studies have demonstrated that microRNA-7 (miR-7) regulates EGFR expression and Akt activity in a range of cancer cell types via its specific interaction with the EGFR mRNA 3′ untranslated region (3′-UTR). In the present study, we found that miR-7 regulated EGFR expression and Akt activity in HNC cell lines, and that this was associated with reduced growth in vitro and in vivo of cells (HN5) that were sensitive to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) erlotinib (Tarceva). miR-7 acted synergistically with erlotinib to inhibit growth of erlotinib-resistant FaDu cells, an effect associated with increased inhibition of Akt activity. Microarray analysis of HN5 and FaDu cell lines transfected with miR-7 identified a common set of downregulated miR-7 target genes, providing insight into the tumor suppressor function of miR-7. Furthermore, we identified several target miR-7 mRNAs with a putative role in the sensitization of FaDu cells to erlotinib. Together, these data support the coordinate regulation of Akt signaling by miR-7 in HNC cells and suggest the therapeutic potential of miR-7 alone or in combination with EGFR TKIs in this disease. Differential gene expression in head and neck cancer cell lines HN5 and FaDu under conditions of 24 h miR-NC (negative control) vs. miR-7 treatment.

Project description:AKT signaling pathway plays critical roles in the resolution of inflammation. However, the underlying mechanisms of anti-inflammatory regulation and signal coordination remain unclear. Here, we report that anti-inflammatory AKT signaling is coordinated by glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (EPRS1). Upon inflammatory activation, AKT specifically phosphorylated Ser999 of EPRS1 in the cytoplasmic multi-tRNA synthetase complex, inducing release of EPRS1. The EPRS1 compartmentalized AKT to early endosomes via selective binding to the endosomal membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and assembled an AKT signaling complex specific for anti-inflammatory activity. These events promoted AKT activation-mediated GSK3β phosphorylation, which increased anti-inflammatory cytokine production. EPRS1-deficient macrophages could not assemble the early endosomal complex and consequently exacerbated inflammation, decreasing the survival of EPRS1-deficient mice undergoing septic shock and ulcerative colitis. Collectively, our findings show that the housekeeping protein EPRS1 acts as a mediator of inflammatory homeostasis by coordinating compartment-specific AKT signaling

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:Adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic subtype of lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer death. We and others previously identified TTF-1, a lineage-specific transcription factor required for branching morphogenesis and physiological lung functions, as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung adenocarcinoma. However, how TTF-1 mediates survival signals remains elusive. Here we show that TTF-1 induces receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), which in turn mediates TTF-1 survival signaling in lung adenocarcinoma. Inhibition of ROR1 impaired prosurvival signaling through the PI3K-AKT pathway and induced nuclear accumulation of FOXO1. These were found to be imposed, at least in part, through PTEN inactivation via c-Src, while ROR1 was shown to physically interact with and phosphorylate c-Src. ROR1 inhibition also elicited marked p38 activation, provoking ill-balance between prosurvival and proapoptotic signaling, and consequential “oncogenic shock.” In addition, we found that ROR1 is crucially involved in EGFR- and MET-mediated prosurvival signaling. ROR1 knockdown effectively induced apoptosis in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with acquired EGFR TKI resistance conferred by a secondary T790M EGFR mutation, or HGF-elicited MET signaling and resultant switching of the addicted receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Taken together, our findings indicate that ROR1 RTK is a very promising molecular target for development of a novel therapeutic means to treat this hard-to-cure cancer.

Project description:Introduction: The clinical benefit of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating EGFR mutations is temporary, as virtually all patients develop acquired EGFR TKI resistance that occurs via diverse mechanisms. Here, we identified increased FGFR1 expression as such a resistance mechanism and using pathways analysis and drug combination testing we identified a novel combination treatment to control growth of these resistant tumors. Methods: Novel erlotinib-resistant NSCLC cell lines were generated and analyzed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics to identify altered pathways associated with erlotinib resistance. The altered pathways were further analyzed in gefitinib and osibenib resistant cell lines. Small molecule inhibitor combinations were used to block the altered pathways and investigate growth reduction in vitro and in two xenograft mouse models. FGFR1 mRNA levels were examined in pre- and (post?)- EGFR TKI treatment clinical tumor samples. Results: Proteomic analysis revealed increased expression of FGFR1 and AXL as well as increased Akt and ERK1/2 activation in a panel of novel erlotinib-resistant HCC827 cell lines. Combined treatment with erlotinib or osimertinib and a panel of small molecule inhibitors targeting AXL/MET, FGFRs, Akt, PI3K/mTOR, MEK or ERK1/2 showed that the most prominent re-sensitization to EGFR TKI occurred with the pan-FGFR inhibitor, PD173074. Interestingly, simultaneous blockade of components of the Akt pathway using specific Akt or dual PI3K-mTOR inhibitors combined with inhibitors targeting the FGFR family exhibited the most efficient growth inhibition of FGFR1 overexpressing EGFR TKI-resistant cell lines. Phosphorylation of proteins downstream of Akt, including PRAS40, FOXO and S6 ribosomal protein, were completely abrogated by PD173074 combined with the Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 . Combination treatment with PD173074 and an Akt inhibitor exhibited synergistic growth inhibition in vivo in two FGFR1 overexpressing NSCLC EGFR TKI-resistant animal models. Conclusion: The significant growth inhibition in vitro and in vivo observed with PD173074 combined with Akt compared to either drug alone imply that inhibition of several key targets may be beneficial in controlling erlotinib-resistant NSCLC. The complete abrogation of PRAS40, FOXO and S6 phosphorylations by PD173074 combined with an Akt inhibitor indicates that the Akt pathway is no longer active.

Abstract:
The kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) exists in
two multiprotein complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2) and is a central
regulator of growth and metabolism. Insulin activation of
mTORC1, mediated by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, and
the inhibitory tuberous sclerosis complex 1/2 (TSC1-TSC2),
initiates a negative feedback loop that ultimately inhibits
PI3K. We present a data-driven dynamic insulin-mTOR network
model that integrates the entire core network and used this
model to investigate the less well understood mechanisms by
which insulin regulates mTORC2. By analyzing the effects of
perturbations targeting several levels within the network in
silico and experimentally, we found that, in contrast to
current hypotheses, the TSC1-TSC2 complex was not a direct or
indirect (acting through the negative feedback loop) regulator
of mTORC2. Although mTORC2 activation required active PI3K,
this was not affected by the negative feedback loop. Therefore,
we propose an mTORC2 activation pathway through a PI3K variant
that is insensitive to the negative feedback loop that
regulates mTORC1. This putative pathway predicts that mTORC2
would be refractory to Akt, which inhibits TSC1-TSC2, and,
indeed, we found that mTORC2 was insensitive to constitutive
Akt activation in several cell types. Our results suggest that
a previously unknown network structure connects mTORC2 to its
upstream cues and clarifies which molecular connectors
contribute to mTORC2 activation.

Project description:It has been shown that up regulation activity of CD81(TAPA-1, the portal of entry of Hepatitis C virus) by agonistic antibody results in phosphorylation of Ezrin. We have previously shown that in liver, Ezrin phosphorylation occurs via Syk kinase, causing suppression of hippo intensity, therefore increases sequential Yap activity. The opposite occurs when Glypican-3 (GPC3) or E2 protein of HCV bind to CD81. Mice over-expressing GPC3 in hepatocytes have decreased p-Ezrin(Thr567) and Yap, increased Hippo activity and suppressed liver regeneration. The role of Ezrin in these processes has been speculated, but not proven. We now provide dynamic picture of Ezrin regulates Hippo pathway and Yap. Forced expression of plasmids expressing mutant Ezrin (T567D) (which mimics p-Ezrin(Thr567)) suppressed Hippo activity and activated Yap signaling. And this mutant Ezrin drive more cell proliferation to cell division through up regulated Yap activity in vitro and in vivo. CD81 loses expression, while p-Ezrin(Thr567) increases in JM1 and JM2 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Administration with compound NSC668394, a characterized p-Ezrin(Thr567) antagonist, caused significant decrease in HCC cell proliferation. We additionally present evidence that pEzrin(T567) is also controlled by EGFR and MET. Conclusions: Ezrin phosphorylation, mediated by CD81 associated Syk kinase, is directly involved in regulation of Hippo pathway, Yap levels and growth rates of normal and neoplastic hepatocytes. The finding has mechanistic and potentially therapeutic applications in understanding and regulating growth of hepatocytes and HCC and HCV pathogenesis. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in GFP positive hepatocytes of FVB mice adminstration with EzrinT567D plasmids
