Project description:Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is involved in several pathological activities associated with tumor progression and chemoresistance, however, the role and molecular mechanism of Gal-1 activity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and sorafenib resistance remain enigmatic. In the present study, forced Gal-1 expression promoted HCC progression and sorafenib resistance. Gal-1 elevated αvβ3-integrin expression, leading to AKT activation. Moreover, Gal-1 overexpression induced HCC cell EMT via PI3K/AKT cascade activation. Clinically, our data revealed that Gal-1 overexpression is correlated with poor HCC survival outcomes and sorafenib response. These data suggest that Gal-1 may be a potential therapeutic target for HCC and a biomarker for predicting response to sorafenib treatment.

Project description:Flotillin-1 contributes to invasion and metastasis in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Palmitoylation, the process of conjugating palmitoyl-CoA to proteins, plays an essential role in protein stability and trafficking. Flotillin-1 is modified by palmitoylation, however, the role of its palmitoylation in the context of metastasis has not been explored. Using palmitoylation defective flotillin-1 constructs, we have demonstrated that flotillin-1 palmitoylation contributes to its stability and metastatic capabilities in vivo. Further investigation led to the identification of zDHHC5 as the main palmitoyl acyl transferase responsible for palmitoylating flotillin-1, which also contributed to its stability by preventing its poly-ubiquitylation. To assess the ability to target flotillin-1 palmitoylation therapeutically, we designed a competitive peptide, which displayed efficacy in blocking flotillin-1 palmitoylation in vitro without altering palmitoylation of other zDHHC5 substrates, highlighting its specificity. Additionally, multiple TNBC tumor models expressing a doxycycline inducible flotillin-1 palmitoylation inhibiting peptide construct displayed attenuated tumor growth and lung metastasis. The current study has demonstrated the palmitoylation of flotillin-1, a known metastasis inducing protein, to be essential for its protein stability. The demonstrated methods in blocking its palmitoylation through the delivery of a competitive peptide provide proof-of-concept data for further development as a potential targeted therapeutic in TNBC.

Project description:Alterations of the tumor suppressor TP53, one of the most common events in cancer, alone are insufficient for tumor development but serve as drivers of transformation. We sought to identify cooperating events through genomic analyses of a novel somatic Trp53R245W mouse model (equivalent to the TP53R248W hot spot mutation in human cancers) that recapitulates metastatic breast cancer development. We identified cooperating lesions similar to those found in human breast cancers. Moreover, we identified activation of the Pi3k/Akt/mTOR pathway in most tumors via mutations in Pten, Erbb2, Kras and/or a recurrent Pip5k1c mutation that stabilizes the Pip5k1c protein to activate Pi3k/Akt/mTOR signaling. Another PIP5K1C family member, PIP5K1A, is co-amplified with PI4KB in 18% of human breast cancer patients and both encode kinases that are responsible for production of the PI3K substrate, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Thus, the TP53R248W mutation and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling are major cooperative events driving breast cancer development. Additionally, we demonstrated that the upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation by Pi3k/Akt/mTOR signaling is a vulnerability in murine as well as human breast cancer cell lines. These findings advance our understanding of mutant p53-driven breast tumors and expand testable targets for breast cancer treatment.

Project description:Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death among elderly people. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is an important regulator of cholesterol metabolism. Herein, we investigated the role of PCSK9 in age-related CVD. Both in humans and rats, sPCSK9 correlated positively with increasing age and the development of cardiovascular dysfunction. Network analysis identified PCSK9 as an important factor in age-associated lipid alterations and it correlated positively with intima media thickness, a clinical parameter of CVD risk. PCSK9 inhibition with alirocumab effectively reduced the CVD progression in aging rats suggesting that PCSK9 plays an important role in cardiovascular aging.

Project description:Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a group of malignancies that can appear in any part of the body. The prognosis of STS patients remains unsatisfactory, mainly due to metastasis and recurrence. Upregulation of KIF20A is associated with poor prognosis of STS patients, but its downstream mechanism is unknown. In the present study, we found that downregulation of KIF20A in the STS cell line HT-1080 inhibits cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced cell apoptosis and G2/M arrest in vitro. In addition, downregulation of KIF20A in HT-1080 repressed tumorigenesis of STS in a xenograft mouse model. Pathway analysis showed, that downregulation of KIF20A led to suppression of downstream PI3K-AKT and NF-κB pathways. Specifically, the phosphorylation of AKT at Ser473 was inhibited. Taken together, our results indicate that KIF20A plays an important role in the development of STS by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, invasion via the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Therefore, KIF20A is a potential therapeutic target in STS.

Project description:PurposeHypoxia-induced changes are primarily activated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and long-term sorafenib exposure, thereby reducing the sensitivity to the drug. Aquaporin-3 (AQP3), a member of the aquaporin family, is a hypoxia-induced substance that affects the chemosensitivity of non-hepatocellular tumors. However, its expression and role in the sensitivity of hypoxic HCC cells to sorafenib-induced apoptosis remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to detect changes in AQP3 expression in hypoxic HCC cells and to determine whether these changes alter the sensitivity of these cells to sorafenib.Materials and methodsHuh7 and HepG2 hypoxic cell models were established and AQP3 expression was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Western blotting. Furthermore, the role of AQP3 in cell sensitivity to sorafenib was evaluated via flow cytometry, Western blotting, and a CCK-8 assay.ResultsThe results of qPCR and Western blotting showed that AQP3 was overexpressed in the Huh7 and HepG2 hypoxic cell models. Furthermore, AQP3 protein levels were positively correlated with hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) levels. Compared with cells transfected with lentivirus-GFP (Lv-GFP), hypoxic cells transfected with lentivirus-AQP3 (Lv-AQP3) were less sensitive to sorafenib-induced apoptosis. However, the sensitivity to the drug increased in cells transfected with lentivirus-AQP3RNAi (Lv-AQP3RNAi). Akt and Erk phosphorylation was enhanced in Lv-AQP3-transfected cells. Compared with UO126 (a Mek1/2 inhibitor), LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) attenuated the AQP3-induced insensitivity to sorafenib observed in hypoxic cells transfected with Lv-AQP3. Combined with LY294002-treated cells, hypoxic cells transfected with Lv-AQP3RNAi were more sensitive to sorafenib.ConclusionThe study results show that AQP3 is a potential therapeutic target for improving the sensitivity of hypoxic HCC cells to sorafenib.

Project description:Sorafenib resistance up-regulated circRNA_104797 could be transmitted by exosomes and responsible for the spread of Sorafenib resistance among HCC cells. CircRNA_104797 was critical for Sorafenib resistance maintenance and silencing circRNA_104797 could substantially increase the efficacy of Sorafenib by inducing apoptosis. Mechanism dissection unveiled that circRNA_104797 could specifically sponge miR-103a-2-5p and miR-660-3p and act as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA), thus competitively activated wnt/β-catenin pathway and induced Sorafenib resistance. Meanwhile, LC-MS/MS also revealed that circRNA_104797 could specifically bind to translation related proteins, which might regulate downstream glycan biosynthesis and lipid metabolism, and finally induce Sorafenib resistance. In vivo experiments portrayed a promising clinical application by locally injection of in vivo-grade siRNA for circRNA_104797 by TACE or other manners, which could intensively enhance Sorafenib efficacy in HCC patients. The clinical application of in vivo-grade siRNA for circRNA_104797 in Sorafenib treated HCC patients might shed bright future for the management of advanced HCC.

Project description:The biological role and precise molecular mechanisms of Notch receptor 3 (NOTCH3) in the malignant progression of bladder cancer (BLCA) remain unclear. In this study, we found that NOTCH3 was significantly upregulated and associated with poor prognosis in BLCA patients. Functional experiments demonstrated that NOTCH3 knockdown inhibited BLCA cell proliferation, migration, invasion and significantly suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in vivo as well. Mechanically, chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed that NOTCH3 could promote the transcription of secreted phosphoprotein 1(SPP1), a potential downstream target gene of NOTCH3，by binding to the CSL elements in the SPP1 promoter. Moreover, we also found that targeting NOTCH3 inhibited BLCA growth and metastasis by suppressing the SPP1-PI3K/AKT axis. Our study highlights the critical role of NOTCH3-SPP1-PI3K/AKT axis in the malignant progression of BLCA, suggesting that NOTCH3 may be a potential therapeutic target for BLCA.
