Gene expression profiles of PIK3CA knockdown by shRNA in lung cancer cells

ABSTRACT: To gain insight into EMT-independent biological processes through which PI3K promotes invasion, RNA samples from 344SQ_p110α shRNA cells and 344SQ_scr cells were subjected to global transcriptional profiling. Two groups, control and PIK3CA shRNA, in 344SQ lung cancer cell line Two group comparison

Epithelial tumor cells that have undergone epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) are typically prone to metastasis and drug resistance and contribute to a poor clinical outcome. The transcription factor ZEB1 is a known driver of EMT, and mediators of ZEB1 represent potential therapeutic targets for metastasis suppression. Here, we have shown that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-targeted (PI3K-targeted) therapy suppresses metastasis in a mouse model of Kras/Tp53-mutant lung adenocarcinoma that ...[more]

Project description:Metastatic disease is a primary cause of cancer-related death, and factors governing tumor cell metastasis have not been fully elucidated. Here we addressed this question by using tumor cell lines derived from mice that develop metastatic lung adenocarcinoma owing to expression of mutant K-ras and p53. A feature of metastasis-prone tumor cells that distinguished them from metastasis-incompetent tumor cells was plasticity in response to changes in their microenvironment. They transited reversibly between epithelial and mesenchymal states, forming highly polarized epithelial spheres in 3-dimensional culture that underwent epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) following treatment with transforming growth factor-beta or injection into syngeneic mice. This plasticity was entirely dependent upon the microRNA-200 family, which decreased during EMT. Forced expression of miR-200 abrogated the capacity of these tumor cells to undergo EMT, invade, and metastasize and conferred transcriptional features of metastasis-incompetent tumor cells. We conclude that microenvironmental cues direct tumor metastasis by regulating miR-200 expression. Experiment Overall Design: Cell lines from p53R172Hâ??g/+ K-rasLA1/+ mice were derived from tumor tissues removed at autopsy from two different mice (#344 and #393). The tissues were minced, placed in culture, and passed serially in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), which yielded mass populations of tumor cells derived from primary lung tumors (344P and 393P), mediastinal lymph nodes (344LN and 393LN), and a subcutaneous site (344SQ). Stable 344SQ cell lines expressing the miR-200b-200a-429 cluster or control vector were generated by transduction with lentivirus vectors. GFP positive transfectant pools were selected by growth in RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS and puromycin. RNA samples of miR-200b-200a-429 knockup versus control (from triplicate cultures of each) were processed and analyzed on Affymetrix Mouse Expression Array 430A 2.0 chips.

Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4) is a dual-specificity kinase activated by environmental stress, cytokines, and peptide growth factors that reportedly can promote or inhibit tumor cell growth and metastasis. Somatic mutations in the gene encoding MKK4 (MAP2K4) have been identified in various human cancers, but the consequences of these mutations on MKK4 function and the biology of tumor cells that have them have not been elucidated. Here we report that, of the eleven mutations within the MAP2K kinase domain described thus far, one had gain-of-function (Q142L) and six had loss-of-function. Three of the loss-of-function mutations are nonsense mutations that produced C-terminally-truncated proteins (I295fs*23, R304*, and W310*) that were highly ubiqitinated and rapidly degraded when introduced into cells, and three are missense mutations in the ATP-binding pocket (N234I), activation loop (S251N), or C-lobe (P326L). We modeled the consequences of MAP2K4 loss-of-function mutations on cells by introducing MKK4 short-hairpin RNA constructs and found that MKK4 depletion enhanced the ability of a weakly tumorigenic murine cancer cell to metastasize when injected into syngeneic mice but had no effect on primary tumor formation. MKK4-depleted cells exhibited an increased capacity to migrate across PET filters and to invade through matrigel but no change in anchorage-dependent or -independent proliferation. Transcriptional profiling of these cells revealed gene expression changes that promote epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis. We conclude that MKK4 inactivation promoted metastasis but not primary tumor formation. Collectively, these findings implicate loss-of-function MAP2K4 somatic mutations in tumor metastasis and provide one of the few examples of a somatic mutation in cancer cells that exerts a metastasis-specific effect. Keywords: Two-group comparison. 393P cells were infected with retroviruses expressing a MKK4-specific shRNA construct (shZ) or scrambled control (scr). 393P-shZ and 393P-scr were transcriptionally profiled in triplicate cultures.
