Project description:Wnt signaling plays a pivotal role in colorectal cancer. Intrinsic activation of Wnt by mutational events, such as mutations in the tumor suppressor gene APC, represents the most frequent initiating event in this disease background. Long truncated versions of APC retain partial functionality, which leads to a sub-maximal, “just right” activation state of Wnt signaling supposed to be beneficial for disease initiation. In order to study the transcriptomic alterations of an over-stimulated Wnt signaling pathway, conditional shRNA-mediated silencing of APC was performed in chromosomal instable HT-29 CRC cells which express a 1555 amino acid variant of APC protein able to bind and partially inactivate β-catenin. To achieve this, cells were stably transduced with lentiviral particles encoding for a doxycyline-inducible shRNA directed against APC, or, as a control, a non-silencing shRNA (pTRIPZ inducible shRNA vectors, RHS4740-EG324, Horizon Dharmacon, CO, USA). 72 hours after APC silencing, total RNA was isolated and quality controlled for subsequent RNA-Seq Analysis (DKFZ Heidelberg, Genomic and Proteomic Core Facility) on a HiSeq 2000 instrument (Illumina). Overall, we observed bona-fide Wnt target genes, such as NKD1, AXIN2, PTK7, ASCL2, and SMOC2, and additional putative direct or indirect targets of Wnt signaling up-regulated upon shRNA-mediated APC silencing.

Project description:BACKGROUND: p53 is an important tumor suppressor with a known role in the later stages of colorectal cancer, but its relevance to the early stages of neoplastic initiation remains somewhat unclear. Although p53-dependent regulation of Wnt signalling activity is known to occur, the importance of these regulatory mechanisms during the early stages of intestinal neoplasia has not been demonstrated. METHODS: We have conditionally deleted the Adenomatous Polyposis coli gene (Apc) from the adult murine intestine in wild type and p53 deficient environments and subsequently compared the phenotype and transcriptome profiles in both genotypes. RESULTS: Expression of p53 was shown to be elevated following the conditional deletion of Apc in the adult small intestine. Furthermore, p53 status was shown to impact on the transcription profile observed following Apc loss. A number of key Wnt pathway components and targets were altered in the p53 deficient environment. However, the aberrant phenotype observed following loss of Apc (rapid nuclear localisation of beta-catenin, increased levels of DNA damage, nuclear atypia, perturbed cell death, proliferation, differentiation and migration) was not significantly altered by the absence of p53. CONCLUSION: p53 related feedback mechanisms regulating Wnt signalling activity are present in the intestine, and become activated following loss of Apc. However, the physiological Wnt pathway regulation by p53 appears to be overwhelmed by Apc loss and consequently the activity of these regulatory mechanisms is not sufficient to modulate the immediate phenotypes seen following Apc loss. Thus we are able to provide an explanation to the apparent contradiction that, despite having a Wnt regulatory capacity, p53 loss is not associated with early lesion development.

Samples were collected from genetically modified mice. Gene recombination was induced using IP administration of beta-napthoflavone.

Project description:Vil-CreERT2 was used to drive loss of APC (Adenomatous polyposis coli) in the murine intestinal epithelium. 4 days post induction, mice were sampled and 1cm of tissue from the proximal intestine was collected into RNA later. This was compared to control (wild-type) intestine. This analysis allows investigation of transcriptional changes following APC loss (and therefore activation of the WNT signalling pathway).

Project description:APC is a key regulator of canonical Wnt signalling since it participates to beta-catenin targeting to proteasomal degradation when the pathway is inactive. Moreover, independently of Wnt signaling, APC regulates several cellular functions such as mycrotubule dynamics, chromosome segregation, cell adhesion. Although APC has been widely studied for its implication in initation and progression of several cancers, its role in satellite cells (skeletal muscle stem cells) has never been investigated. Here we used microarrays and to clarify APC functions and we identified several pathways and cellular processes to be affected following APC silencing.

Conditional Knockout mouse model for the tumor suppressor gene Ap, Apc 2lox. The disruption of the Apc gene is realized by injection of an adenovirus encoding the Cre recombinase (AdCre).
