Project description:Inflammatory transcription networks have been linked with the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we demonstrate that NFATc1 is both necessary and sufficient to drive progression of KrasG12D-initiated PDAC, particularly in the context of inflammation. Significantly, nuclear NFATc1 accelerates PDAC development in KrasG12D mice, whereas conditional NFATc1 deletion or pharmacological inhibition attenuates inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis. Mechanistically, NFATc1 induces STAT3 expression, complex formation and signal integration in PDAC. Genome-wide ChIP-sequencing and expression analysis in cells derived from c.n.NFATc1;KrasG12D mice identified combinatorial NFATc1/STAT3 binding at chromatin enhancer sites and subsequent regulation of key molecules involved in oncogenic signaling, growth and inflammation. Together, this study supports the relevance of inflammatory transcription factor networks in pancreatic carcinogenesis and provides a theoretical platform for therapeutic targeting of NFATc1 nucleoprotein complexes in PDAC. NFATc1 ChIP followed by high throughput sequencing in primary murine pancreatic cancer cells (referred to as NKC cells) derived from transgenic mice with pancreas-specific constitutive activation of NFATc1 and KrasG12D mutation in the presence or absence of STAT3 shRNA; 2 ChIP samples (scramble DNA and shSTAT3 DNA) and 1 unenriched input control from the same chromatin pool.

Project description:The identification of COVID-19 patients with high-risk of severe disease is a challenge in routine care. We performed blood RNA-seq gene expression analyses in severe hospitalized patients compared to healthy donors. Supervised and unsupervised analyses revealed a high abundance of CD177, a specific neutrophil activation marker, contributing to the clustering of severe patients. Gene abundance correlated with high serum levels of CD177 in severe patients. These results highlight neutrophil activation as a hallmark of severe disease and CD177 assessment as a reliable prognostic marker for routine care.

Project description:Activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) is common in prostate cancers. STAT3 may induce cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis, as well as promote tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and migration by activating gene expression. Many STAT3-dependent transcriptional responses are mediated through protein-protein interactions that involve the amino-terminal domain (N-domain). In this study, we found that inhibition of the STAT3 N-domain using novel inhibitor ST3-Hel2A-2 induces apoptotic death in prostate cancer cells. The cell death was accomponied by robust activation of pro-apoptotic gene. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and tiling human promoter arrays (ChIP-chip), we have defined genome-wide targets of STAT3 in DU145 prostate cancer cells. We found that upregulated pro-apoptotic genes were bound by STAT3 in prostate cancer cells, and that STAT3 binding was decreased following inhibition of the STAT3 N-domain. STAT3 siRNA knockdow confirmed specificity of STAT3 binding and changes in gene expression. DU145 cells were treated with STAT3 siRNA or scrambled siRNA for 48hr. Total RNA has been extracted and prepared for hybridization on Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 arrays.

Project description:Amplification and activation of the Met receptor tyrosine kinase occurs up to 23% of gastric cancers, suggesting that Met is a therapeutic target in these cancers. However, the steady-state signaling events that occur during chronic Met activation, and mechanisms for resistance to Met small-molecule inhibitors, are poorly understood. Here we show that multiple gastric cancer cell lines harboring MET amplifications are dependent on Met signaling for proliferation and anchorage-independent growth. In these cells, short-term inhibition of Met leads to coordinated changes in gene expression; these include a rapid loss in expression of immediate-early genes, followed by decreased expression of genes involved in cell cycle and proliferation. Activation of Ras-Erk, PI3K-Akt and STAT3 pathways is attenuated by acute Met inhibition. STAT3 inhibition alone, but not individual inhibition of Mek or Akt, is sufficient to abrogate Met-dependent growth of these cells. However, following chronic Met inhibition, reactivation of Mek-dependent Erk phosphorylation occurs even in the presence of Met inhibitor corresponding with a downregulation of Erk negative regulators DUSP4/6. This provides a mechanism for the emergence of drug resistance. Our findings provide insights into innate resistance to a small-molecule Met inhibitor and highlight rational combination therapies that could be evaluated in clinical trials.

Project description:Intratumoral heterogeneity is a hallmark of glioblastoma (GBM) tumors, thought to negatively influence therapeutic outcome. Previous studies showed that mesenchymal tumors fare more poorly than the proneural subtype. We focused on STAT3 because its activation precedes the proneural-mesenchymal transition. We first established a STAT3 gene signature that stratifies GBM patients into STAT3-high and -low cohorts. STAT3 inhibitor treatment selectively mitigated STAT3-high cell viability and tumorigenicity in orthotopic mouse xenograft models. Additionally, we defined the mechanism underlying resistance in STAT3-low cells by combining STAT3 signature analysis with kinome screen data on STAT3 inhibitor-treated cells. This allows us to draw connections between kinases affected by STAT3 inhibitors, their associated transcription factors and target genes. We demonstrate that dual inhibition of IGF-1R and STAT3 sensitized STAT3-low cells and improved survival in mice. Our study underscores the importance of serially profiling tumors so as to accurately target individuals who may demonstrate molecular subtype switching

Project description:Dysregulation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway is associated with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and its mouse model, Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). Suppressors Of Cytokine Signaling (SOCS) negatively regulate the JAK/STAT pathway. We previously reported a severe, brain-targeted, atypical form of EAE in mice lacking Socs3 in myeloid cells (Socs3ΔLysM), which is associated with cerebellar neutrophil infiltration. There is emerging evidence that neutrophils are detrimental in the pathology of MS/EAE, however, their exact function is unclear. Here we demonstrate that neutrophils from the cerebellum of Socs3ΔLysM mice show a hyper-activated phenotype with excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the peak of EAE. Neutralization of ROS in vivo delayed the onset and reduced severity of atypical EAE. Mechanistically, Socs3-deficient neutrophils exhibit enhanced STAT3 activation, a hyper-activated phenotype in response to G-CSF, and upon G-CSF priming, increased ROS production. Neutralization of G-CSF in vivo significantly reduced the incidence and severity of the atypical EAE phenotype. Overall, our work elucidates that hypersensitivity of G-CSF/STAT3 signaling in Socs3ΔLysM mice leads to atypical EAE by enhanced neutrophil activation and increased oxidative stress, which may explain the detrimental role of G-CSF in MS patients.

Project description:Protein inhibitor of activated STAT3 (PIAS3) is an endogenous inhibitor of STAT3 that negatively regulates STAT3 transcriptional activity and cell growth and demonstrates limited expression in the majority of human squamous cell carcinomas of the lung. In the present study we sought to determine if PIAS3 inhibits cell growth in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines by induction of apoptosis and further determine the dependence of PIAS3 activity on p53 status by using both wild-type and p53-null cells. Our results demonstrate that over-expression of PIAS3 promotes caspase 3 activation and PARP cleavage. Furthermore, the expression of pro-survival family members Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 is decreased. These effects were observed after both transient and regulated expression of exogenous PIAS3 and were independent of p53 status. Furthermore, while p53 can promote apoptosis by inhibition of STAT3 activity, PIAS3 inhibition of STAT3 activity was also p53 independent. Microarray experiments were performed to further investigate the STAT3-dependence of PIAS3-induced apoptosis by comparing the apoptotic gene expression signature induced by PIAS3 over-expression with that induced by STAT3 siRNA. The results showed that a subset of apoptotic genes, including CIDEC and DAPK2, were uniquely expressed only after PIAS3 expression. Thus, PIAS3 may represent a promising lung cancer therapeutic target because of its p53-independent efficacy as well as its potential to synergize with direct STAT3 inhibitors. The expression profiles of genes related to apoptosis in A549 cell line transfected with pCMV5 vector encoding human PIAS3 compared with that induced by STAT3 siRNA Cells in all three groups were grown in serum-free medium, then stimulated with EGF, then one group transfected with pCMV5 vector encoding human PIAS3, second group was induced by STAT3 siRNA, third group considered as control.

Project description:Activation of JAK-STAT3 signaling by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is required for maintaining self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). STAT3 perform cell type-specific roles in different cell type, here we revisit the role of STAT3 using mouse female germ stem cell (mFGSCs). We applied CRISPR/Cas9 system to generate Stat3 knockout FGSCs and then observed cell growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest in KO cell line. By combining genome wide ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq, we identified 5990 STAT3 binding sites and discovered serval genes specific regulated by STAT3 that were involved in stem cell proliferation and female gonad development in FGSCs. In general, we identify key roles of STAT3 for sustains self-renewal and proliferation for FGSCs in this study.
