Project description:Mutant p53 Disrupts Mammary Acinar Morphogenesis via the Mevalonate Pathway
2015-08-17 | E-GEOD-31812 | ExpressionAtlas
Project description:p53 is a frequent target for mutation in human tumors and previous studies have revealed that these missense mutant proteins can actively contribute to tumorigenesis. To elucidate how mutant p53 might contribute to mammary carcinogenesis we employed a three-dimensional (3D) culture model. In 3D culture non-malignant breast epithelial cells form structures reminiscent of acinar structures found in vivo, whereas breast cancer cells form highly disorganized and in some cases invasive structures. We found that mutant p53 depletion is sufficient to phenotypically revert breast cancer cells to a more acinar-like morphology. Genome-wide expression analysis identified the sterol biosynthesis, or mevalonate, pathway as significantly upregulated by a tumor-derived mutant p53. Using statins and sterol biosynthesis intermediates, we demonstrate that this pathway is both necessary and sufficient for the phenotypic effects of mutant p53 on breast tissue architecture. Mutant p53 associates with the sterol gene promoters at least partly via the SREBP transcription factors. Finally, p53 mutation correlates with higher levels of sterol biosynthesis genes in human breast tumors. This activity of mutant p53 not only contributes insight into breast carcinogenesis, but also implicates the mevalonate pathway as a new therapeutic target for tumors bearing such mutations in p53.

RNA was isolated from three independent experiments of MDA-468.shp53 cells cultured under 3D conditions for 8 days in the presence or absence of DOX, reversed transcribed and hybridized to an Affymetrix GeneChip expression array. Data was processed using the Robust Multichip Average (RMA) algorithm to give expression signals and paired t-test was applied for each probe. Probes with 1% significance were selected for Ingenuity Pathway Analysis.

Project description:In this study, we have investigated the effect of p53 deletion on the metabolic activity of colon cancer cells exposed to metabolic stress. In order to recreate the simultaneous reduction in oxygen and nutrient availability found in tumors, we cultured cancer cells as multicellular tumor spheroids. Under these conditions, p53 deficient cancer cells activate the expression of enzymes of the mevalonate pathway via the sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP2). Moreover, inhibition of mevalonate pathway activity with statins selectively induced apoptosis in p53 deficient cancer cells exposed to metabolic stress. This effect was mediated by the requirement of p53 deficient cancer cells to synthesise ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) to maintain TCA cycle activity, respiration and the production of pyrimidine nucleotides. Our study has revealed a novel link between isoprenoid synthesis by the mevalonate pathway and the electron transport function of ubiquinone, which is required for nucleotide biosynthesis. As a consequence, maintaining mevalonate pathway activity is essential for p53 deficient cancer cells to proliferate and survive under the metabolic constraints of the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:The microRNA (miR) miR-874, a potential tumour suppressor, causes cell death via target gene suppression in various cancer types. Mevalonate pathway inhibition also causes cell death in breast cancer. However, the relationship between the mevalonate pathway and miR-874-induced apoptosis or its association with the tumour suppressor p53 has not been elucidated. We identified phosphomevalonate kinase (PMVK), a key mevalonate pathway enzyme, and sterol regulatory element-binding factor 2 (SREBF2), the master cholesterol biosynthesis regulator, as direct miR‑874 targets. Next-generation sequencing analysis revealed a significant miR-874–mediated downregulation of PMVK and SREBF2 gene expression and p53 pathway enrichment. Luciferase reporter assays showed that miR-874 directly regulated PMVK and SREBF2. miR-874–induced apoptosis was p53 dependent, and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that miR-874 transfection resulted in apoptosis and p53 pathway activation. Downregulation of PMVK expression also caused cell cycle arrest and p53 pathway activation, which was rescued by geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) supplementation. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database indicated a negative correlation between miR-874 and PMVK expression and between miR-874 and SREBF2 expression. These findings suggest that miR-874 suppresses the mevalonate pathway by targeting SREBF2 and PMVK, resulting in GGPP depletion, which activates the p53 pathway and promotes cycle arrest or apoptosis.

Project description:We have discovered that loss of wild-type p53 correlates with elevated expression of mevalonate pathway genes in murine liver cancer and in human tumors. Mechanistically p53 blocks activation of SREBP-2, the master transcriptional regulator of this pathway, by transcriptionally inducing the ABCA1 cholesterol transporter gene, which inhibits SREBP-2 maturation. In mice the increase in mevalonate gene expression occurs in premalignant p53-null hepatocytes at a stage when p53 is needed to actively suppress tumorigenesis. Either RNAi mediated suppression of key genes in the mevalonate pathway or pharmacological inhibition of its rate-limiting enzyme restricts the development of mouse hepatocellular carcinomas driven by p53 loss. Conversely, like p53 loss, ablation of ABCA1 promotes tumorigenesis in a murine model and is associated with increased SREBP-2 maturation. Our findings thereby demonstrate that repression of the mevalonate pathway is a crucial component of p53-mediated tumor suppression and outline the mechanism by which this occurs.

Project description:In these microarray experiments, we characterize the gene expression of mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A cells) grown in either a traditional monolayer cell culture setting (2D) or on Matrigel, which induces single MCF10A cells to form organized acinar structures (3D). Morphogenesis of mammary epithelial cells into organized acinar structures in vitro is accompanied by widespread changes in gene expression patterns, including a substantial decrease in expression of Myc. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of morphogenesis and organization on gene expression with respect to changes in overall gene expression and Myc target gene expression. MCF10A cells were cultured in 2D for either 2 or 5 days (3 biological replicates each) or in 3D for 8 or 16 days (3 or 5 biological replicates, respectively)
