Project description:Transgenic mice (Scgb1a1-rtTA/[tetO]-KRAS.G12D/Nkx2-1+/-) develop mucinous lung tumors. Gene expression analysis was performed using mRNAs from the whole lungs of the mice compared to that of the control mice. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression underlying development of mucinous lung tumors and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. mRNAs were isolated from the whole lungs of the transgenic mice (Scgb1a1-rtTA/[tetO]-KRAS.G12D/Nkx2-1+/-) after 2 months doxycycline administration and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify genes induced in mucinous lung tumors.

Project description:We evaluated the role of TTF-1/NKX2-1 on Smad3 and Smad4 binding in lung cancer cell lines. Smad3 binding sites in A549 cells and Smad3, Smad4, and TTF-1/NKX2-1 binding sites in H441 cells were determined by ChIP-seq.

Project description:TTF-1/NKX2-1 was expressed by adenoviral vector and changes in gene expression were determined by RNA-sequencing. A549 cells were infected with Ad-TTF-1 or Ad-LacZ vectors and stimulated with TGF-beta for 24 hours or left untreated. Expression of polyA RNA was determined.

Project description:A transcription factor Nkx2-1 (also known as TTF-1) regulates the expression of different sets of genes. Gene expression analysis was performed using mRNAs from Nkx2-1-induced A549 cells compared to that from the control A549 cells. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression controlled by Nkx2-1 and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes.

Project description:Despite the high prevalence and poor outcome of patients with metastatic lung cancer, the mechanisms of tumour progression and metastasis remain largely uncharacterized. We modelled human lung adenocarcinoma, which frequently harbours activating point mutations in KRAS1 and inactivation of the p53-pathway2, using conditional alleles in mice3-5. Lentiviral-mediated somatic activation of oncogenic Kras and deletion of p53 in the lung epithelial cells of KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53flox/flox mice initiates lung adenocarcinoma development4. Although tumours are initiated synchronously by defined genetic alterations, only a subset become malignant, suggesting that disease progression requires additional alterations. Identification of the lentiviral integration sites allowed us to distinguish metastatic from non-metastatic tumours and determine the gene expression alterations that distinguish these tumour types. Cross-species analysis identified the NK-2 related homeobox transcription factor Nkx2-1 (Ttf-1/Titf1) as a candidate suppressor of malignant progression. In this mouse model, Nkx2-1-negativity is pathognomonic of high-grade poorly differentiated tumours. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments in cells derived from metastatic and non-metastatic tumours demonstrated that Nkx2-1 controls tumour differentiation and limits metastatic potential in vivo. Interrogation of Nkx2-1 regulated genes, analysis of tumours at defined developmental stages, and functional complementation experiments indicate that Nkx2-1 constrains tumours in part by repressing the embryonically-restricted chromatin regulator Hmga2. While focal amplification of NKX2-1 in a fraction of human lung adenocarcinomas has focused attention on its oncogenic function6-9, our data specifically link Nkx2-1 downregulation to loss of differentiation, enhanced tumour seeding ability, and increased metastatic proclivity. Thus, the oncogenic and suppressive functions of Nkx2-1 in the same tumour type substantiate its role as a dual function lineage factor. 23 cell lines derived from primary tumor or metastasis. 6 samples analyzed to determine the effect of Nkx2-1 knockdown on gene expression

Project description:During cancer evolution, cellular differentiation programs become dysregulated. The transcription factor Nkx2-1 is a master regulator of pulmonary differentiation that is downregulated in poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinoma. Here we use conditional murine genetics to study the fate of lung epithelial cells upon loss of their master cell fate regulator. Nkx2-1 deletion in normal and neoplastic lung causes not only loss of pulmonary identity but also gastric transdifferentiation. Nkx2-1 maintains pulmonary identity by sequestering the Foxa1 transcription factor at lung-specific loci and inhibiting Foxa1 binding to gastrointestinal targets. Murine Nkx2-1-negative lung tumors mimic the mucinous subtype of human lung adenocarcinoma, which also exhibits gastric transdifferentiation. Nkx2-1-negative lung adenocarcinomas are dependent on the gastrointestinal gene Hnf4a for efficient initiation. Thus, loss of Nkx2-1 results in transdifferentiation rather than stable dedifferentiation in vivo, suggesting that inactivation of both active and latent differentiation programs may be required for tumors to reach a primitive, dedifferentiated state. The study was designed to compare the expression profiles of Nkx2-1-positive lung adenocarcinomas with tumors in which Nkx2-1 was deleted at the time of initiation or 6-7 months after initiation.

Project description:We investigated the clinical implications of lung developmental transcription factors (TTF-1, NKX2-8, and PAX9) which we recently discovered as cooperating oncogenes activated by way of gene amplification at chromosome 14q13 in lung cancer. Using stable transfectants of human bronchial epithelial cells, RNA expression profiles (signatures) representing activation of the biological pathways defined by each of the three genes were determined and used to risk stratify a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) clinical dataset consisting of ninety-one early stage tumors. Co-activation of the TTF-1 and NKX2-8 pathways identified a cluster of patients with poor survival, representing approximately 20% of patients with early stage NSCLC, whereas activation of individual pathways did not reveal significant prognostic power. Importantly, the poor prognosis associated with co-activation of TTF-1 and NKX2-8 was validated in two other independent clinical datasets. Further, lung cancer cell lines showing co-activation of the TTF-1 and NKX2-8 pathways were shown to exhibit resistance to cisplatin, the standard of care for the treatment of NSCLC. Since TTF-1 and NKX2-8 lack specific inhibitors at the current time, we explored an alternative therapeutic strategy. Using signatures of signaling pathway activation, we identified deregulation of specific oncogenic pathways (Ras and Myc) in the TTF-1/NKX2-8 co-activated cohort. In vitro experiments demonstrated the ability of a Ras pathway-specific therapy to inhibit tumor cell growth in TTF-1/NKX-2 activated cells, thus, suggesting that modulation of the Ras pathway is a rational strategy to targeted therapy in high risk NSCLC patients with co-activation of specific lung developmental pathways. Experiment Overall Design: Six controls and six replicates of each transcription factor (TTF1, NKX2-8, PAX9) were prepared and analyzed.
