Project description:Non-metastatic 2 (NME2) is an established metastases suppressor in multiple human cancer types. However, the molecular mechanisms of NME2 action remain insufficiently resolved. We recently validated the transcription regulatory activity of NME2 with respect to control of proto-oncogene c-MYC expression. We hypothesized that large scale transcriptional potential of NME2 may be at the core of metastases suppression by NME2. Using a combination of high throughput genomic assays such as chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to promoter array hybridization (ChIP-chip) and gene expression profiling, we characterized the transcriptional roles of NME2. Specifically, we found a set of NME2 target genes which changed expression upon selective depletion of NME2 in a lung cancer cell line, A549. The analysis of gene expression suggested control of various biological pathways esp. cell adhesion and apoptosis by NME2 target genes which could be important in regulation of metastases. For transcriptome analysis, total RNA was purified from A549 cells transiently silenced for NME2 (siRNA duplex against NME2/ NM23 H2(Santa Cruz)) or transfected with control siRNA duplexes. Isolated RNA was converted to cDNA, transcribed in vitro to synthesize biotinylated cRNA, and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip oligonucleotide microarrays, according to manufacturer’s instructions. Three biological replicates were averaged and significance analysis performed using GCOS (P <0.005 of fold change).

Project description:Non-metastatic 2 (NME2) is one of the first discovered suppressors of metastases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-metatsic activity remain insufficiently characterized. We hypothesized that large scale transcriptional potential of NME2 might be at the core of this function. Using a combination of gene expression meta-analysis, and high throughput genomic assays, we explored the transcriptional targets of NME2. Specifically, we found >250 binding sites of NME2 across human gene promoters. Several of the novel targets identified in this way regulated cell adhesion and survival. We subsequently constructed NME2 target gene network which delineated a transcriptional program responsive to NME2 capable of restricting metastasis. Three sets of ChIP vs. mock-ChIP experiments were done. pcDNA plasmid was transfected to lung cancer, A549 cells to express NME2 tagged with MYC epitope which was subsequently immunoprecipitated using anti-MYC antibodies (after 48 hours of transfection). Non-specific IgG was used for mock immunoprecipitation.
Project description:Alterations in cellular antigen processing and presenting machinery has gained increased interest as a hallmark of cancer-related inflammation. Growing evidence suggest that proteasome composition and immunoproteasome expression can influence antigen processing. By performing immunopeptidomics on A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line following depletion of proteasome regulator PSME4 we identified alterations in the antigenic landscape resulting from changes in proteasome processing.

Project description:Background: Lung cancer, particularly lung adenocarcinoma, remains one of the most lethal malignancies globally. Identifying aberrant molecular pathways and potential therapeutic targets is pivotal for improving patient outcomes. This study focused on the role of GSE1 (genetic suppressor element 1) in lung adenocarcinoma, elucidating its interaction mechanisms and downstream effects. Objectives: 1. Determine the expression levels of GSE1 in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and its implication on cancer cell behaviors. 2. Investigate the effects of GSE1 depletion on the proliferation and migration capabilities of A549 and H1299 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. 3. Elucidate the potential cellular partners of GSE1, with a particular focus on its interaction with histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and the broader BRAF-HDAC complex (BHC). 4. Analyze the transcriptomic changes following GSE1-knockdown in A549 cells to pinpoint its broad molecular influence. 5. Examine the possible cooperative role of GSE1 and HDAC1 in modulating the expression of significant genes, especially the tumor suppressor gene KLF6. Methods: GSE1 expression was assessed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and correlated with cell behaviors. The effects of GSE1 depletion were studied in A549 and H1299 cells. Immunoprecipitation assays were utilized to confirm GSE1's interactions. Transcriptomic analysis identified differentially expressed genes post-GSE1-knockdown, with a focus on genes harboring HDAC1 binding sites. The relationship between GSE1 and KLF6 expression was verified using RT-qPCR and western blotting. Results: GSE1 was found to be upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma. Its depletion inhibited proliferation and migration in both A549 and H1299 cells. GSE1 was demonstrated to interact with HDAC1 and other BHC components. Following GSE1-knockdown, 207 genes were upregulated and 159 were downregulated, with 140 genes showcasing HDAC1 binding sites. Among these genes, GSE1 was revealed to inhibit the transcription of the tumor suppressor gene KLF6. Conclusion: GSE1 plays a central role in promoting non-small cell lung cancer progression, potentially through its cooperation with HDAC1. This interaction appears to downregulate KLF6 expression, highlighting a novel molecular pathway that can be targeted for therapeutic interventions in lung adenocarcinoma.
