Sivakumar2011_NeuralStemCellDifferentiation_Crosstalk

ABSTRACT: Sivakumar2011_NeuralStemCellDifferentiation_Crosstalk This model is generated by integrating BIOMD0000000394 (EGFR), BIOMD0000000395 (Hedgehog), BIOMD0000000396 (Notch) and BIOMD0000000397 (Wnt), to investigate the signalling crosstalk between the four pathways. This model is described in the article: A systems biology approach to model neural stem cell regulation by notch, shh, wnt, and EGF signaling pathways. Sivakumar KC, Dhanesh SB, Shobana S, James J, Mundayoor S. OMICS 2011 Oct; 15(10): 729-737 Abstract: The Notch, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh), Wnt, and EGF pathways have long been known to influence cell fate specification in the developing nervous system. Here we attempted to evaluate the contemporary knowledge about neural stem cell differentiation promoted by various drug-based regulations through a systems biology approach. Our model showed the phenomenon of DAPT-mediated antagonism of Enhancer of split [E(spl)] genes and enhancement of Shh target genes by a SAG agonist that were effectively demonstrated computationally and were consistent with experimental studies. However, in the case of model simulation of Wnt and EGF pathways, the model network did not supply any concurrent results with experimental data despite the fact that drugs were added at the appropriate positions. This paves insight into the potential of crosstalks between pathways considered in our study. Therefore, we manually developed a map of signaling crosstalk, which included the species connected by representatives from Notch, Shh, Wnt, and EGF pathways and highlighted the regulation of a single target gene, Hes-1, based on drug-induced simulations. These simulations provided results that matched with experimental studies. Therefore, these signaling crosstalk models complement as a tool toward the discovery of novel regulatory processes involved in neural stem cell maintenance, proliferation, and differentiation during mammalian central nervous system development. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a simple crosstalk map that highlights the differential regulation of neural stem cell differentiation and underscores the flow of positive and negative regulatory signals modulated by drugs.

Project description:Sivakumar2011 - Hedgehog Signaling Pathway This is the current model for the Hedgehog signaling pathway. The best data for mechanism of signaling has been worked out in Drosophila, so this model is based largely on Drosophila data. Hedgehog target genes vary from tissue to tissue, so the identities of individual target genes have not been listed. The main difference between the Drosophila and mammalian Hedgehog signaling pathways is the fact that there are three mammalian homologs of Cubitus interruptus, Gli1 Gli2 and Gli3. Some or all of the mammalian homologs may be proteolytically processed, but the data are controversial. There are two mammalian Ptc genes and three mammalian Hedgehog genes as well. The pathway for Sonic Hedgehog appears to be most similar to the Drosophila hedgehog pathway. References: Hedgehog signaling in animal development: paradigms and principles.

Project description:Sivakumar2011 - Notch Signaling Pathway Notch is a transmembrane receptor that mediates local cell-cell communication and coordinates a signaling cascade.

Project description:Sivakumar2011 - EGF Receptor Signaling Pathway EGFR belongs to the human epidermal receptor (HER) family of receptor tyrosine kinases, which consists of four closely related receptors (EGFR (HER1, erbB1), HER2 (neu, erbB2), HER3 (erbB3), and HER4 (erbB4)) that mediate cellular signaling pathways involved in growth and proliferation in response to the binding of a variety of growth factor ligands. There are currently six known endogenous ligands for EGFR: EGF, transforming growth factor- (TGF-), amphiregulin, betacellulin, heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF), and epiregulin.Upon ligand binding, the EGFR forms homo- or heterodimeric complexes (usually with HER2), which leads to activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase, via autophosphorylation.

Project description:Sivakumar2011_WntSignalingPathway The secreted protein Wnt activates the heptahelical receptor Frizzled on nieghboring cells. Activation of Frizzled causes the recruitment of additional membrane proteins which in turn result in 1) the activation of the protein Dishevelled via phosphorylation and 2) the activation of a heterotrimeric G protein of unknown type. Activation of Dishevelled results in the down-regulation of the Beta-Catenin destruction complex which causes ubiquitination of Beta-Catenin and its ultimate degradation via the proteasome. Inhibition of the Beta-Catenin destruction complex yields a higher cytosolic concentration of Beta-Catenin, which enters the nucleus, binds various transcriptional regulatory molecules including the TCF/LEF class of proteins, and results in the transcription of TCF/LEF target genes. Activation of the heterotrimeric G-protein pathway in turn activates Phospholipase C which in turn catalyzes the catalysis of PI(4,5)P2 into DAG and IP3. Reference: The Wnt signalling pathway.

Project description:Aberrant activation of Hedgehog (HH) signaling has been identified as a key etiologic factor of many human malignancies. Signal strength, target gene specificity, and oncogenic activity of HH signaling profoundly depend on interactions with other pathways such as epidermal growth factor receptor-mediated signaling which has been shown to cooperate with HH/GLI in basal cell carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. We demonstrate that the human medulloblastoma cell line Daoy possesses a fully inducible endogenous HH pathway. Treatment of Daoy cells with Sonic Hedgehog or Smoothened agonist induced expression of GLI1 protein and prevented processing of GLI3 to its repressor form. To study interactions between HH- and EGF-induced signaling in greater detail, time-resolved measurements were carried out and analyzed on the transcriptomic as well as proteomic level. Daoy cells responded to the co-treatment by downregulating GLI1, PTCH, and HHIP on the transcript level which was also seen when Amphiregulin (AREG) was used instead of EGF. The finding that EGFR signaling silences proteins acting as negative regulators of HH signaling is firstly described here as a novel crosstalk mechanism. Furthermore, combined EGFR/HH signaling maintains high GLI1 protein levels contrasting its downregulation on the transcript level. On the other hand, high level synergism was observed with respect to a strong and significant upregulation of numerous canonical EGF-targets with putative tumor-promoting properties such as MMP7, VEGFA, and IL-8. In conclusion, synergistic effects between EGFR and HH signaling can selectively induce a switch from a canonical HH/GLI profile to a modulated specific target gene profile pointing to more wide-spread, yet context-dependent, interactions between HH/GLI and growth factor receptor signaling in human malignancies. To study interactions between HH- and EGF-induced signaling, time-resolved measurements were carried out over a period of 24 h at 14 different time points after stimulation by EGF with and without additional stimulation by SHH. Furthermore, as a control, cells without any stimulation by EGF and SHH (control) and cells in the presents of SHH were analyzed. Overall, three biological replicates of 60 different treatment/timepoints were analyzed yielding 180 different samples.
