Project description:The distinct frequency of activation of the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway in human cancers suggests a context-dependent cellular state of vulnerability to RAS transformation. While uncommon in breast cancers, oncogenic activation of this pathway is frequent in claudin-low (CL) tumors, a subtype of breast malignancies enriched in features of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), suggesting an interplay between RAS activation and EMT. Using inducible models of human mammary epithelial cells, we show that RAS-mediated transformation relies upon cellular reprogramming governed by the EMT-inducing transcription factor ZEB1. The path to ZEB1 induction involves a paracrine process: cells entering a senescent state following RAS induction release proinflammatory cytokines, notably IL-6 and IL1 which promote ZEB1 expression and activity in neighboring cells, thereby fostering their malignant transformation. Collectively, our findings unveil a previously unprecedented role for senescence in bridging RAS activation and EMT over the course of malignant transformation of human mammary epithelial cells.

Project description:Senescence can be transmitted in a paracrine way from cells undergoing Oncogene Induced Senescence (OIS) to naM-CM-/ve normal cells. We define this phenomenon as M-bM-^@M-^\paracrine senescenceM-bM-^@M-^] We used microarrays to compare the trancriptome of cells undergoing paracrine senescence to the transcriptome of cells suffering OIS to unveil the common signatures defining both events and the similarities between them IMR90 cells were co-cultured with IMR90 ER:RAS undergoing OIS or IMR90-Vector control cells using 0.2 M-NM-<m pore transwell (anopore) to allow communication of soluble factors but physical separation of the two cell populations. The total mRNA of IMR90, IMR90 ER:RAS or IMR90 cells cultured in Transwells together with IMR90 vector or IMR90 ER:RAS cells during 7 days in the presence of 200 nM 4OHT and 0.5 % FBS was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays to compare paracrine senescence to OIS.

Project description:Cellular senescence can be transmitted to neighbouring cells in a paracrine manner through different mechanisms, including soluble factors released by senescent cells. To understand the dynamic regulation of paracrine senescence, here we investigated gene expression profiles in normal human fibroblasts (IMR90) exposed to conditioned medium generated by an inducible model of fibroblast Oncogene-Induced Senescence (IMR90-ER:RAS) at different time points after induction of senescence.

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the prototypic progressive fibrotic lung disease with a median survival of 2-4 years. Injury to and/or dysfunction of alveolar epithelium are strongly implicated in IPF disease initiation, but what factors determine why fibrosis progresses rather than normal tissue repair occurs remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that ZEB1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human alveolar epithelial type II (ATII) cells augments TGF-β-induced profibrogenic responses in underlying lung fibroblasts by paracrine signalling. Here we investigated bi-directional epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk and its potential to drive fibrosis progression. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of lung fibroblasts exposed to conditioned media from ATII cells undergoing RAS-induced EMT identified many differentially expressed genes including those involved in cell migration and extracellular matrix (ECM) regulation. We confirmed that paracrine signalling between AS-activated ATII cells and fibroblasts augmented fibroblast recruitment and demonstrated that this involved a ZEB1-tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) axis. In a reciprocal fashion, paracrine signalling from TGF-β-activated lung fibroblasts or IPF fibroblasts induced RAS activation in ATII cells, at least partially via the secreted protein, SPARC. Together these data identify that aberrant bi-directional epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk in IPF drives a chronic feedback loop that maintains a wound-healing phenotype and provides self-sustaining pro-fibrotic signals.

Project description:The EGFR/Ras/ERK signalling pathway is a primary driver of cancer cell proliferation and metastasis in tumours that exhibit high cell-to-cell heterogeneity. While the signalling activity of this pathway is frequently amplified in tumours, it is not understood how the kinetic aspects of its activation in tumours differ from normal cellular signalling. We explored these single-cell kinetic differences using live-cell reporters of ERK signalling in the breast cancer progression series HMT-3522 and found that ERK activity in invasive cells is similar in amplitude to non-malignant cells but is highly dynamic and more disordered, leading to more heterogeneous expression of ERK target genes. We traced this variability to a high degree of amphiregulin-mediated autocrine signalling by invasive cells. Dynamic ERK activity could be transferred from invasive to pre-malignant cells through paracrine signalling in co-culture, and could drive temporal variation in the expression of genes including Fra-1, c-Myc, and Egr1 at the single-cell level. Our findings establish a mechanism for the generation of tumour cell plasticity, in which paracrine signalling in the microenvironment is translated into continually shifting diversity in gene expression profiles, helping drive the phenotypic heterogeneity of tumour cells.

Project description:The newly identified claudin-low subtype of cancer is believed to represent the most primitive breast malignancies, having arisen from transformation of an early epithelial precursor with inherent stemness properties and metaplastic features. Challenging this hypothesis, we show both in vitro and in vivo that transcription factors inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition can drive the development of claudin-low tumors from differentiated mammary epithelial cells, by playing a dual role in cell transformation and dedifferentiation. Human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) were sequentially immortalized by hTert (HMEC-hTert), transduced with Twist1 or Zeb2 or Zeb1 and then with H-RasG12V. The gene expression profiles of the resulting HMEC-hTert-Twist1+Ras, HMEC-hTert-Zeb1+Ras and HMEC-hTert-Zeb2+Ras cell lines were defined. HMEC-hTert-Twist1+Ras and HMEC-hTert-Zeb2+Ras cell lines were additionally cultured in presence of TGFM-CM-^C? and their gene expression profiles were determined. The parental HMEC-hTert, the luminal MCF7 and the basal B MDMB157cell lines were used as controls.

Project description:The differential expression of microRNAs in Ras transformed epithelial cells of human and rat origin was investigated. Here we describe the group of miRNAs differentially expressed in two Ras transformed cell lines and defined it as a miRNA Ras signatures. We show that expression of these miRNAs are also affected in different primary tumors with high frequency of Ras mutation. We demonstate that introduction of different miRNAs lost during Ras transformation have big influence on cellular phenotype and mRNA expression. Importance of Ras pathway dependent transcription factors for miRNA regulation was shown as well. The complexity of miRNA – signal transduction pathways interactions and importance of miRNA regulation in Ras dependent malignant tumor formation is discussed.

Project description:Recently, screens for mediators of resistance to FLT3 and ABL kinase inhibitors in leukemia resulted in the discovery of LZTR1 as an adaptor of a Cullin-3 RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex responsible for degradation of RAS GTPases. In parallel, dysregulated LZTR1 expression via aberrant splicing and mutations have been identified in clonal hematopoietic conditions. Here we identify that loss of LZTR1, or leukemia-associated mutants in the LZTR1 substrate and RAS GTPase RIT1 which escape degradation, drive hematopoietic stem cell expansion (HSC) and leukemia in vivo. LZTR1 null cells rely on multiple RAS GTPases for transformation. Consequently, RAS targeting bioPROTACs or reduction of GTP-loaded RAS overcomes LZTR1 loss-mediated resistance to FLT3 inhibitors. These data thereby reveal proteolysis of non-canonical RAS proteins as novel regulators of HSC function, define the function and spectrum of RIT1 and LZTR1 mutations in leukemia, and identify means to overcome drug resistance due to LZTR1 downregulation.
