Project description:We aimed to analyze the transcriptional profile of lung epithelial cells early after the expression of a resident K-RasG12V oncogene. This approach was based on the rationale that valuable therapeutic targets should be easier to detect in the first stages of tumor development due to tumor heterogeneity which occurr at late stages. We used a GEM model of lung adenocarcinoma driven by a resident K-RasG12V oncogene. In this GEM, the K-RasG12V allele also expresses a color marker that allows identification of K-RasG12V expressing cells at the single cell level in tissue sections. Thanks to this strategy we isolated early K-RasG12V-driven hyperplastic lesions (about 500 cells) and analyzed their gene expression profiling by Affymetrix GeneChip hybridization. Normal cells were isolated accordingly by LCM in the same lung sections.

Project description:Analysis of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma/malignant fibrous histiocytoma-like tumors from LSL-KrasG12D, p53Fl/Fl mouse model of soft tissue sarcoma. Murine soft tissue sarcomas (n = 17) were compared to normal muscle (n = 4). Tumors were isolated surgically from soft tissue sarcomas generated by conditional Kras and p53 alleles. Tumors were induced using an adenovirus expressing Cre recombinase. Normal muscle samples were isolated from mice of the same genotype without tumor induction.

Project description:Our mechanistic studies shed light on the central role of the proto-oncogene MYC in driving global protein anabolism and the ER stress response. Specifically, the MYC-p19ARF-TP53 axis plays a critical role in regulating proteostasis and an increased demand for protein disposal.

Project description:Although mutations in Kras are present in 21% of lung tumors, there is a high level of heterogeneity in phenotype and outcomes amongst lung cancer patients suggesting the importance of other pathways. Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a known oncogenic pathway that plays a well defined role in colon and skin cancer but its role in lung cancer remains unclear. We show that activation of Wnt/β-catenin in the bronchiolar epithelium of the adult lung does not promote tumor development by itself. However, activation of Wnt/β- catenin signaling leads to a dramatic increase in tumor formation both in overall tumor number and size compared to KrasG12D alone. We show that activation of Wnt/β- catenin signaling significantly alters the KrasG12D tumor phenotype resulting in a phenotypic switch from bronchiolar epithelium to the highly proliferative distal progenitors found in the embryonic lung. This is associated with a decrease in E- cadherin expression at the cell surface which may increase metastasis in Wnt/β-catenin signaling positive tumors. Together, these data suggest that activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in combination with other oncogenic pathways in lung epithelium may lead to a more aggressive phenotype due to the imposition of an embryonic distal progenitor phenotype accompanied by decreased E-cadherin expression. We performed microarray analysis of control murine lung, CC10-cre:KrasG12D, and CC10-cre:Ctnnb1ex3flox:LSL-KrasG12D double mutant micro-dissected murine lung tumors to determine their transcriptional phenotype. Lungs of five-month-old mice were PBS inflated and all the tumors in each lobe were dissected. The total number of tumors obtained from three out of the 5 pulmonar lobes of each animal was called a sample the other two lobes were saved in case there were problems and the array needed to be repeated. Trizol was used to isolate RNA for microarray analysis. Samples & Genotypes: control murine lung n=2 animals, CC10-cre:KrasG12D n=2 animals, and CC10-cre:Ctnnb1ex3flox:LSL-KrasG12D n=2 animals.

Project description:MicroRNAs are a class of short ~22 nucleotide RNAs predicted to regulate nearly half of all protein-coding genes, including many involved in basal cellular processes and organismal development. Although both increases and decreases in the levels of specific miRNAs have been shown to promote tumor development, a global reduction in miRNAs is commonly observed in various human tumors. However, complete loss has not been documented, suggesting an essential function for miRNAs in tumorigenesis. Here we present the finding that transformed or immortalized Dicer-null somatic cells can be isolated readily in vitro, maintain the characteristics of Dicer-expressing controls and remain stably proliferative. Furthermore, Dicer-null cells from a sarcoma cell line, though depleted of miRNAs, are competent for tumor formation. Hence, miRNA levels in cancer may be maintained in vivo by a complex stabilizing selection in the intratumoral environment. Small RNAs from tumor cell lines (murine sarcoma KrasG12D, p53 -/-) with and without Dicer (Dicer f/-, Dicer -/-) were analyzed.

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:The reprogramming of differentiated cells to an embryonic stem cell-like state provides a powerful system to explore fundamental mechanisms of development, including how mammalian cells establish and maintain pluripotency and long-term self-renewal capability. Based on the similarities between embryonic stem cells and cancer cells, we investigated the potential role of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor and cell cycle regulator RB in the reprogramming of fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). Herein we demonstrate that loss of RB function leads to both an acceleration of the reprogramming process and the generation of more iPS clones from fibroblasts. This effect is largely due to a restrictive role for RB at the early stages of reprogramming. Surprisingly, however, RB inactivation does not enhance the formation of iPS clones by accelerating the proliferation of cells undergoing reprogramming. Rather, a genome-wide investigation of RB targets indicates that RB binds to regulatory regions of pluripotency genes such as Sox2 and Oct4 and contributes to their full repression in differentiated cells. This effect correlates with the maintenance of a repressive chromatin structure at these loci. Accordingly, Rb-deficient fibroblasts can be reprogrammed into iPS cells even in the absence of exogenous Sox2, which is normally required to initiate reprogramming from fibroblasts. These experiments identify a novel barrier in the reprogramming process, mainly the repression of certain pluripotency genes such as Sox2 by RB, which provides a new link between tumor suppressor mechanisms and cellular reprogramming.
