Project description:We show that the sensitivity of tsc mutant cells to rapamycin is mediated by TORC1 and can be suppressed by overexpression of the 2-oxoglutarate-Fe(II) dependent oxygenase, Isp7. We show that Isp7 is a novel regulator of amino acids uptake that acts via regulation of gene expression, both upstream and downstream of TOR signaling. suppressed by overexpression of the putative 2-oxoglutarate-Fe(II) dependent oxygenase, Isp7. We show that Isp7 is a novel master regulator of amino acids uptake that acts via regulation of gene expression, both upstream and downstream of TOR signaling. TOR proteins reside in two distinct complexes, TOR complex 1 and 2 (TORC1 and TORC2) that are central for the regulation of cellular growth, proliferation and survival. TOR is also the target for the immunosuppressive and anti-cancer drug rapamycin. In Schizosaccharaomyces pombe, disruption of the TSC complex, mutations in which can lead to the Tuberous Sclerosis syndrome in humans, results in a rapamycin sensitive phenotype under poor nitrogen conditions. We show here that the sensitivity to rapamycin is mediated via inhibition of TORC1 and suppressed by overexpression of isp7+, a member of the family of 2-oxoglutarate-Fe(II) dependent oxygenases. The transcript level of isp7+ is negatively regulated by TORC1 but positively regulated by TORC2. Yet, we find extensive similarity between the transcriptome of cells disrupted for isp7+ and cells mutated in the catalytic subunit of TORC1. Moreover, Isp7 regulates amino acid permease expression similarly to TORC1 and in contrast to TORC2. Overexpression of isp7+ induces TORC1-dependent phosphorylation of ribosomal protein Rps6, while inhibiting TORC2-dependent phosphorylation and activation of the AGC-like kinase Gad8. Taken together, our findings suggest a central role for Isp7 in amino acid homeostasis and the presence of isp7+-dependent regulatory loops that affect both TORC1 and TORC2. 6 Samples (arrays) were performed. We generated pairwise comparison between DISP7 and WT, using Partek Genomics Suite. Genes with pâ¤5%[FDR] and a fold-change difference of â¥2\1.5 or <-2\-1.5 were selected.

Project description:The present study deals with functional interactions of cutaneous and brain-metastasizing human melanoma cells with brain-derived molecules. In this study we employed the unique melanoma xenograft model developed by Izraely and described in Int J Cancer. 2011 Oct 25. doi: 10.1002/ijc.27324. The present study aims to determine if brain-derived soluble factors regulate malignancy-associated functions of cutaneous and brain-metastasizing melanoma cells and identify which functions are regulated by such factors. The working hypothesis of this study is that the interactions between the brain microenvironment and melanoma cells determine metastasis formation at this organ site. The aim of the study was to evaluate the contribution of such interactions to the formation of brain metastasis in nude mice xenografted with human melanoma cells. An insight into these interactions is an essential pre-requisite for the development of effective targeted therapy for melanoma brain metastasis. We assessed the effects of soluble factors present in supernatants of short-term cultures of normal mouse brain (referred here after as brain-derived soluble factors) on several characteristics linked to melanoma brain metastasis. It was found that brain-derived soluble factors affect differentially cutaneous and brain-metastasizing melanoma cells variants in-vitro. Such factors enhanced the viability of cutaneous melanoma cells but caused an S phase arrest followed by apoptosis of brain-metastasizing cells. Brain-derived soluble factors enhanced migration of melanoma cells metastasizing to the brain, but did not affect the migration of the cutaneous variants. Such factors up-regulated the expression of the chemokine receptor CCR4 in both cutaneous and brain metastasizing melanoma cells. It is not unlikely that CCR4 ligands expressed in the brain interact with the CCR4-expressing melanoma cells thereby directing them to the brain. Brain-derived soluble factors enhanced the transmigration, across human brain endothelial cells of cutaneous but not of brain metastasizing melanoma variants. This activity could promote the capacity of the cutaneous cells to metastasize to the brain. 4 Samples (arrays) were analyzed. There is 1 replicate for each variant and each treatment. We generated pairwise comparisons between cutaneous and brain metastatic variants of the same genetic background, using Partek Genomics Suite, in the three melanoma models. Genes with p≤5% and a fold-change difference of ≥2 or <-2 were selected.

Project description:We have generated expression profiles of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and iPSC-derived neural crest populations from Familial Dysautonomia patients. These profiles were compared to a normal iPSC line that does not harbor the IKBKAP mutation. All cell types were differentiated from patient derived iPSCs. Bulk iPSCs were harvested for RNA and the neural crest populations were sorted on day 18 for p75/HNK1 before RNA isolation.

Project description:We established a model of human melanoma metastasis to identify differentially expressed genes in brain metastasis, compared to cutaneous melanoma from which they were developed. Such genes may control brain metastasis. The identification and characterization of these genes would advance the understanding of the metastatic process and may lead to new diagnostics and therapeutic approach. Brain metastases occur in almost 40% of melanoma patients. The median survival of such patients does not exceed a few months. Very little information is available on mechanisms underlying the progression of melanoma towards brain metastasis. The function, and significance of the various factors involved in melanoma progression must be deciphered using relevant models. Currently, most human melanoma brain metastasis models consist of xenografted cells inoculated into immune-deficient mice mainly by intracarotid or intra-cardiac administration. We generated a reproducible melanoma brain metastasis model, consisting of brain-metastasizing variants and local, sub-dermal variants that originate from the same melanomas thus sharing a common genetic background. The brain metastasizing variants were obtained by intra-cardiac inoculation. One of the brain metastasizing variants when inoculated sub-dermally yielded spontaneous brain dormant micrometastasis. Cells from the spontaneous brain micrometastasis when removed from the brain microenvironment proliferate very well in vitro and generate tumors in the skin being the orthotopic organ site. The brain metastasis and micro-metastasis cells expressed higher levels of ANGPTL4, COX-2, MMP1, MMP2 and PRAME and lower levels of CLDN1, CYR61 and IL-6R than the cutaneous variants. These gene products may be involved in melanoma brain metastasis and may serve as novel brain metastasis biomarkers and targets for therapy. 8 Samples (arrays) were analyzed. We generated pairwise comparisons between cutaneous and brain metastatic variants of the same genetic background, using Partek Genomics Suite, in the three melanoma models. Genes with pM-bM-^IM-$5% and a fold-change difference of M-bM-^IM-%1.25 or <-1.25 were selected.

Project description:Accumulating data indicate translation plays a role in cancer biology, particularly its rate limiting stage of initiation. Despite this evolving recognition, the function and importance of specific translation initiation factors is unresolved. The eukaryotic translation initiation complex eIF4F consists of eIF4E and eIF4G at a 1:1 ratio. Although it is expected that they display interdependent functions, several publications suggest independent mechanisms. This study is the first to directly assess the relative contribution of eIF4F components to the expressed cellular proteome, transcription factors, microRNAs, and phenotype in a malignancy known for extensive protein synthesis- multiple myeloma (MM). Previously, we have shown that eIF4E/eIF4GI attenuation (siRNA/ Avastin) deleteriously affected MM cells' fate and reduced levels of eIF4E/eIF4GI established targets. Here, we demonstrated that eIF4E/eIF4GI indeed have individual influences on cell proteome. We used an objective, high throughput assay of mRNA microarrays to examine the significance of eIF4E/eIF4GI silencing to several cellular facets such as transcription factors, microRNAs and phenotype. We showed different imprints for eIF4E and eIF4GI in all assayed aspects. These results promote our understanding of the relative contribution and importance of eIF4E and eIF4GI to the malignant phenotype and shed light on their function in eIF4F translation initiation complex. This study concentrated on a particular cancer model and studied the role of eIF4E and eIF4GI in the design of the cells' proteome. We used an unbiased, high throughput system to evaluate the individual importance of eIF4E and eIF4GI levels in MM. We used models of eIF4E or eIF4GI knocked down (KD) MM cell line RPMI 8226 and profiled their respective translated transcription factors (TF), often tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Furthermore, we assessed the KDs' microRNAs repertoires and cells' phenotype. Significant differences were observed between eIF4E and eIF4GI knockdown imprints.
