Project description:Using high-resolution oligonucleotide arrayCGH, FISH, and RT-PCR we have performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic imbalances, and CRTC1-MAML2 gene fusion status in a series of 28 well characterized mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MECs) with the aims to identify distinct differences in genomic profiles and CRTC1-MAML2 gene fusion status between low- and high-grade MECs.

Project description:Mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) is the most common salivary gland malignancy. To date, advanced and nonresectable MEC have poor prognosis and no effective treatment. The CRTC1-MAML2 fusion oncogene, which is associated with more than 50% of MEC, consists of the N-terminal CREB-binding domain of the CREB transcriptional co-activator CRTC1 and the C-terminal transcriptional activation domain of the Notch transcriptional co-activator MAML2. CRTC1-MAML2 fusion was found to interact with CREB and constitutively activate their transcriptional targets. To investigate the genes and pathways regulated by CRTC1-MAML2 fusion oncogene, gene expression profiling analysis were performed in human fusion-positive MEC cells before and after knockdown of both CRTC1-MAML2 and MAML2 as well as in human fusion-negative salivary gland cancer cells before and after MAML2 knockdown only. This study revealed specific transcriptional program induced by the CRTC1-MAML2 fusion oncogene, which potentially mediates CRC1-MAML2 functions in MEC initiation and maintenance. The information will be useful for developing new approaches to block CRTC1-MAML2 fusion-expressing MEC.

The information will be useful for developing new approaches to block CRTC1-MAML2 fusion-expressing MEC. The fusion-positive H3118 MEC cells were used in this study. The fusion knockdown was performed with two biological replicates for each group. Since we are unable to obtain any shRNA that causes specific knockdown of CRTC1-MAML2, we utilized pSuperRetro-based retroviruses that express shRNA targeting the MAML2 TAD as well as GFP for fusion knock down, and the retroviruses express shRNA targeting luciferase gene (shLuc) and GFP for the control. Cells were infected with retroviruses and cultured for 48 hours. FACS sorting was performed to obtain GFP-positive cells and thus enrich shRNA-expressing cells. RNA was subsequently harvested for microarray analysis. The shMAML2 retroviruses caused the knockdown of MAML2 and CRTC1-MAML2 fusion in fusion-positive H3118 cells.

We utilized pSuperRetro-based retroviruses that express shRNA targeting the MAML2 TAD as well as GFP, and the retroviruses express shRNA targeting luciferase gene (shLuc) and GFP for the control. Cells were infected with retroviruses and cultured for 72 hours. FACS sorting was performed to obtain GFP-positive cells and thus enrich shRNA-expressing cells.

CRTC1-MAML2 fusion was found to interact with CREB and constitutively activate their transcriptional targets. To investigate the contribution of the transcription factor CREB to mediate the fusion target gene expression, gene expression profiling analysis were performed in two salivary gland tumor cell lines (including fusion-positive H3118 MEC cells and fusion-negative HSY parotid adenocarcinoma cells) before and after CREB knockdown. This study demonstrated that CRTC1-MAML2 co-activation of CREB is a major mechanism underlying CRTC1-MAML2-mediated transcriptional regulation.

Two salivary gland tumor cell lines were used in this study, including fusion-positive H3118 MEC cells and fusion-negative HSY parotid adenocarcinoma cells. The CREB knock down was performed with three biological replicates for each group. Both fusion-positive MEC H3118 cells and fusion-negative parotid adenocarcinoma HSY cells were stably transduced with pLKO.1-based shRNA targeting luciferase gene (shLuc, control) or CREB (shCREB). The cells were independently cultured and RNAs were then harvested 72 hours after transduction for microarray analysis.

Project description:We identified DNAPK as one of the major proteins that physically interact with Autoimmune regulator (Aire). To establish physiological significance of DNAPK in Aire-driven expression of PTA genes in MECs, we utilized BM-reconstituted SCID mice (which express non functional DNAPK in their MECs) and RAG1 null mouse as a control. MECs from these mutated/reconstituted mice were sorted by Flow cytomety and their expression profile was analyzed using Affymetrix chips. The analysis shows that Aire-dependent PTA genes are significantly underexpressed in reconstituted SCIDS vs. RAGs (Controls), suggesting the involvement of DNAPK in Aire-mediated gene expression. Keywords: gene mutation Since SCID mice lack mature thymocytes and as a result thymic stroma, we reconstituted these animals by BM transfer (IP injection into 2-4d pups) 6 hrs post-irradiation (200rad). Reconstituted thymi were analyzed 6-8w after transfer.
