Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) tumors start as precancerous polyps on the inner lining of the colon or rectum, where they are exposed to the mechanics of colonic peristalsis. Our previous work leveraged a custom-built peristalsis bioreactor to demonstrate that colonic peristalsis led to cancer stem cell enrichment in colorectal cancer cells. However, this malignant mechanotransductive response was confined to select CRC lines that harbored an oncogenic mutation in the KRAS gene. In this work, therefore, we explored the involvement of activating KRAS mutations on peristalsis-associated mechanotransduction in CRC. Peristalsis enriched the cancer stem cell marker LGR5 in KRAS mutant (G13D, etc.) lines, in a Wnt-independent manner. Conversely, LGR5 enrichment in wild type KRAS lines exposed to peristalsis were minimal. LGR5 enrichment downstream of peristalsis translated to increased tumorigenicity in vivo in KRAS mutant vs. wild type lines. Differences in mechanotransduction response was additionally apparent via unbiased gene set enrichment analysis, where many unique pathways were enriched in wild type vs. mutant lines, in response to peristalsis. Interestingly, peristalsis also triggered β-catenin nuclear localization independent of Wnt, particularly in KRAS mutant lines. The central involvement of KRAS in the mechanotransductive responses was validated via gain and loss of function strategies. β-catenin activation and LGR5 enrichment downstream of peristalsis converged to the activation of the MEK/ERK kinase cascade, that remains active in cells that harbor oncogenic KRAS mutations. Taken together, our results demonstrated that oncogenic KRAS mutations conferred a unique peristalsis-associated mechanotransduction response to colorectal cancer cells, resulting in cancer stem cell enrichment and increased tumorigenicity. These mechanosensory connections can be leveraged in improving the sensitivity of emerging therapies that target oncogenic KRAS.

Project description:Oncogenic mutations in tumor cells regulate signaling both within tumor cells and heterotypic stromal cells. However, whether oncogenes regulate tumor cell signaling via stromal cells is poorly understood. Here we show that oncogenic KRAS (KRAS-G12D) uniquely regulates tumor cell signaling via stromal cells. By combining cell-specific proteome labeling with phosphoproteomic multiplexing we conducted a multivariate analysis of heterocellular KRAS-G12D signaling in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells. By engaging heterotypic fibroblasts, KRAS-G12D drives unique reciprocal signaling in tumor cells to employ additional kinases and double the number of regulated signaling nodes from cell-autonomous KRAS-G12D. Heterocellular signaling produces a distinct tumor cell phosphoproteome, total proteome, and increase mitochondria capacity via an IGF1R/AXL-AKT axis. Reciprocal KRAS-G12D phenotypes require a heterocellular context and are unreachable by cell-autonomous KRAS-G12D alone. These results demonstrate oncogene signaling should be viewed as a heterocellular process and our existing homocellular perspective underrepresents the extent of oncogene signaling in cancer.

Project description:The proto-oncogene KRAS is mutated in a wide array of human cancers, most of which are aggressive and respond poorly to standard therapies. Although the identification of specific oncogenes has led to the development of clinically effective, molecularly targeted therapies in some cases, KRAS has remained refractory to this approach. An alternative strategy for targeting KRAS is to identify gene products that, when suppressed or inhibited, result in cell death only in the presence of an oncogenic allele. Here we have used systematic RNA interference (RNAi) to detect synthetic lethal partners of oncogenic KRAS and found that the non-canonical IkB kinase, TBK1, was selectively essential in cells that harbor mutant KRAS. Suppression of TBK1 induced apoptosis specifically in human cancer cell lines that depend on oncogenic KRAS expression. In these cells, TBK1 activated NF- B anti-apoptotic signals involving cREL and BCL-XL that were essential for survival, providing mechanistic insights into this synthetic lethal interaction. These observations identify TBK1 as a potential therapeutic target in KRAS mutant tumors and establish a general approach for the rational identification of co-dependent pathways in cancer.

Project description:Aberrant activation of RAS oncogenes is a prevalent event in lung adenocarcinoma, with somatic mutation of KRAS occurring in ~30% of tumors. Recently, we identified somatic mutation of the RAS-family GTPase RIT1 in lung adenocarcinoma, but relatively little is known about the biological pathways regulated by RIT1 and how these relate to the oncogenic KRAS network. Here we present (quantitative proteomic and) transcriptomic profiles from KRAS-mutant and RIT1-mutant isogenic lung epithelial cells and globally characterize the signaling networks regulated by each oncogene.

Project description:Lo A, Holmes K, Mundt F, Moorthi S, Fung I, Fereshetian S, Watson J, Carr SA, Mertins P, Berger A. Aberrant activation of RAS oncogenes is a prevalent event in lung adenocarcinoma, with somatic mutation of KRAS occurring in ~30% of tumors. Recently, we identified somatic mutation of the RAS-family GTPase RIT1 in lung adenocarcinoma, but relatively little is known about the biological pathways regulated by RIT1 and how these relate to the oncogenic KRAS network. Here we present quantitative proteomic and transcriptomic profiles from KRAS-mutant and RIT1-mutant isogenic lung epithelial cells and globally characterize the signaling networks regulated by each oncogene. We find that both mutant KRAS and mutant RIT1 promote S6 kinase, AKT, and RAF/MEK signaling, and promote epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and immune evasion via HLA protein loss. However, KRAS and RIT1 diverge in regulation of phosphoproteins including EGFR, USO1, and AHNAK proteins. The majority of the proteome changes are related to altered transcriptional regulation, but a small subset of proteins are differentially regulated at the post-transcriptional level, including intermediate filament proteins, metallothioneins, and MHC Class I proteins, which are profoundly suppressed by oncogenic KRAS and RIT1 variants. These data provide the first global, unbiased characterization of oncogenic RIT1 network and identify the shared and divergent functions of oncogenic RIT1 and KRAS GTPases in lung cancer.

Project description:Oncogenic mutations of KRAS are found in the most aggressive human tumors, including colorectal cancer. It has been suggested that oncogenic KRAS phosphorylation at Ser181 modulates its activity and favors cell transformation. Using non-phosphorylatable (S181A), phosphomimetic (S181D) and phospho/dephosphorylatable (S181) oncogenic KRAS mutants, we analyzed the role of this phosphorylation to the maintenance of tumorigenic properties of colorectal cancer cells. Our data show that the presence of phospho/dephosphorylatable oncogenic KRAS is required for preserving the epithelial organization of colorectal cancer cells in 3D cultures, and for supporting subcutaneous tumor growth in mice. Interestingly, gene expression differed according to the phosphorylation status of KRAS. In DLD-1 cells, CTNNA1 was only expressed in phospho/dephosphorylatable oncogenic KRAS expressing cells, correlating with cell polarization. Moreover, lack of oncogenic KRAS phosphorylation leaded to changes in expression of genes related to cell invasion, such as SERPINE1, PRSS1,2,3 and NEO1, and expression of phosphomimetic oncogenic KRAS resulted in diminished expression of genes involved in enterocyte differentiation, such as HNF4G. Finally, the analysis, in a public data set of human colorectal cancer, of the gene expression signatures associated to phosphomimetic and non-phosphorylatable oncogenic KRAS suggests that this post-translational modification regulates tumor progression in patients
