CEP55 is a determinant of cell fate during perturbed mitosis in breast cancer

ABSTRACT: The centrosomal protein, CEP55 is a key regulator of cytokinesis and its overexpression is linked to genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer. However, the mechanism by which it mediates genomic instability remains elusive. Here, we showed that CEP55 overexpression/knockdown impacts survival of aneuploid cells. Loss of CEP55 sensitizes breast cancer cells to anti-mitotic agents through premature CDK1/Cyclin B activation and CDK1-Caspase-dependent mitotic cell death. Further, we showed that CEP55 is a downstream effector of the MEK1/2-MYC axis. Blocking MEK1/2-PLK1 signaling therefore reduced outgrowth of basal-like syngeneic and human breast tumors in in-vivo models. In conclusion, high CEP55 levels dictate cell fate during perturbed mitosis. Forced mitotic cell death by blocking MEK1/2-PLK1 represents a potential therapeutic strategy for MYC-CEP55-dependent basal-like, triple-negative breast cancers.

Cyclin A/Cdk1 modulates Plk1 activity in prometaphase to regulate k-MT attachment stability

Project description:The fidelity of chromosome segregation in mitosis is safeguarded by the precise regulation of kinetochore microtubule (k-MT) attachment stability. Previously, we demonstrated that Cyclin A/Cdk1 destabilizes k-MT attachments to promote faithful chromosome segregation. Here, we use quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify 156 Cyclin A/Cdk1 substrates in prometaphase. One Cyclin A/Cdk1 substrate is myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 1 (MYPT1), and we show that MYPT1 localization to kinetochores depends on Cyclin A/Cdk1 activity and that MYPT1 destabilizes k-MT attachments by negatively regulating Plk1 at kinetochores. Thus, Cyclin A/Cdk1 phosphorylation primes MYPT1 for Plk1 binding. Interestingly, priming of PBIP1 by Plk1 itself (self-priming) increased in MYPT1-depleted cells showing that MYPT1 provides a molecular link between the processes of Cdk1-dependent priming and self-priming of Plk1 substrates. These data demonstrate cross-regulation between Cyclin A/Cdk1-dependent and Plk1-dependent phosphorylation of substrates during mitosis to ensure efficient correction of k-MT attachment errors necessary for high mitotic fidelity.

Centrosomal Localization of DNAJ-PKAc Fusion Heightens PLK1 Inhibitor Sensitivity in Fibrolamellar Cancer

Project description:Fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC), a rare and fatal liver cancer lacking effective drug therapy, is driven by the DNAJ-PKAc fusion oncoprotein. However, the underlying mechanism of DNAJ-PKAc's role in FLC tumor growth remains enigmatic. Employing an unbiased systems-based approach, we uncovered a new role of DNAJ-PKAc oncoprotein in FLC and identified downstream kinases involved in this process. Functional screening, coupled with computational analysis, highlighted Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) as vital for FLC cell viability. Genetic and pharmacological PLK1 inhibition significantly reduced FLC cell growth, inducing apoptosis. Further studies showed DNAJ-PKAc's centrosomal presence and direct interaction with PLK1, revealing a novel mechanism that promotes PLK1 activation and mitotic progression. Clinical-grade PLK1 inhibitors effectively suppressed FLC tumor growth across multiple preclinical models, including patient-derived xenograft and an orthotopic model of FLC, suggesting promising therapeutic avenues. Our findings underscore the role of DNAJ-PKAc in rewiring signaling networks and highlight valuable clinical implications for PLK1-targeted therapies for FLC.

Gene expression analysis of MTBTOM tumors

Project description:Tumors that overexpress the MYC oncogene frequently demonstrate aneuploidy, numerical chromosome alterations associated with highly aggressive cancers, rapid tumor evolution, and poor patient outcome. Here, we identify that MYC overexpression induces defects in microtubule nucleation and mitotic spindle assembly, promoting chromosome segregation defects, micronuclei and chromosomal instability (CIN). High TPX2 expression is permissive for mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in cells with MYC overexpression; whereas TPX2 depletion blocks mitotic progression, induces cell death and prevents tumor growth. Attenuating MYC expression reverses mitotic defects, even in established tumor cell lines, implicating an ongoing role for high MYC in the persistence of CIN in tumors. Our studies implicate the MYC oncogene as a regulator of spindle assembly and identify a new MYC-TPX2 synthetic-lethal interaction that could represent a future therapeutic strategy in MYC-overexpressing cancers. Moreover, our studies suggest that blocking MYC activity can attenuate the emergence of CIN and tumor evolution.

PLK1 phosphorylation of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2

Project description:The Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) initiates and maintains the proliferation of infected B cells. In search of additional cellular strategies, that control EBNA2 function, we have performed a label-free mass spectrometry-based quantification of cellular proteins in EBNA2 immuno-precipitates and found polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) to be bound to EBNA2. EBNA2/PLK1 complex formation is strongly enforced by EBNA2 S379 phosphorylation catalyzed by the mitotic CYCLIN B/CDK1 complex.

Tight CDK1 inhibition elicits domain-specific pre-RC setting in S-phase, suppressing CFS instability

Project description:Genome integrity requires replication to be completed before chromosome segregation. This coordination essentially relies on replication-dependent activation of a dedicated checkpoint that inhibits CDK1, delaying mitotic onset. Under-replication of Common Fragile Sites (CFSs), however, escapes surveillance, which generates mitotic chromosome breaks. Using human cells, we asked whether this leakage results from insufficient CDK1 inhibition under modest stresses used to destabilize CFSs. We found that tight CDK1 inhibition does suppress CFS instability in so-stressed cells. Molecular combing and Repli-Seq analyses consistently showed a burst of replication initiations in mid S-phase across large origin-poor domains shaped by transcription, including CFSs. CFS rescue and extra-initiations strikingly require availability of essential pre-Replication Complex (pre-RC) proteins during the S-phase, showing that CDK1 inhibition promotes targeted and mistimed pre-RC reloading. In addition to delay mitotic onset, tight checkpoint activation therefore advances replication completion of origin-poor domains at risk of under-replication, two complementary roles preserving genome stability.

Global assessment of Plk1 network dynamics identifies inhibition of PP6 as a mechanism to promote Aurora A activity

Project description:Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is an essential protein kinase that promotes faithful mitotic progression in eukaryotes. Plk1 subcellular localization and substrate interactions are tightly controlled and require binding of Plk1 to phosphorylated sequences. Here, we use quantitative proteomics to identify phosphorylation-dependent interactions within the Plk1 network in human mitotic HeLa cells using kinase inhibitors and a Plk1 mutant deficient in phosphorylation-dependent substrate binding. We find that many interactions are abolished upon kinase inhibition; however, a subset are protected from phosphatase opposition or are unopposed, resulting in persistent Plk1-substrate interactions. This subset includes Phosphoprotein Phosphatase 6 (PP6), whose activity towards Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is inhibited by Plk1. This Plk1-PP6 interaction creates a feedback loop that coordinates and reinforces the activities of Plk1 and AURKA during mitotic entry and is terminated by Plk1 degradation during mitotic exit. Collectively, this work provides a cellular mechanism for the observed regulation of AURKA by Plk1.

PDK1 Signaling Towards PLK1-Myc Activation Confers Oncogenic Transformation and Tumor Initiating Cell Activation and Resistance to mTOR-targeted Therapy.

Project description:Although 3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) has been predominately linked to PI3K-AKT pathway, it may also evoke additional signaling outputs to promote tumorigenesis. Here we report that PDK1 directly induces phosphorylation of Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), which in turn induces Myc phosphorylation and protein accumulation. We show that PDK1-PLK1-Myc signaling is critical for cancer cell growth and survival and small molecule inhibition of PDK1/PLK1 provides an effective approach for therapeutic targeting Myc-dependency. Intriguingly, PDK1-PLK1-Myc signaling induces an embryonic stem cell-like gene signature associated with aggressive tumor behaviors and is a robust signaling axis driving cancer stem cell (CSC) self renewal. Finally, we show that PLK1 inhibitor synergizes with mTOR inhibitor to induce synergistic anti-tumor effect in colorectal cancer by antagonizing a compensatory Myc induction. These findings identify a novel pathway in human cancer and CSC activation and provide a therapeutic strategy for targeting Myc-associated tumorigenesis and therapeutic resistance.

Pharmacological target dysfunction cell cycle pathways induce vulnerabilities of chemotherapy in colorectal cancer

Project description:Dysfunction of cell cycle genes can lead to mitosis disruption and chromosomal instability (CIN), which is blamed for poor prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, no matter with chemotherapy or not. Discovery therapeutic targets to abnormal cell cycle pathways in CRC may help to improve current therapy. By genome-widely profiling of differential expressed genes in 54 pairs of human colorectal tumor with matched normal mucosa, we found a functional enrichment in PLK1 signaling. Tumors with enriched PLK1 signaling are accompanied with dysfunction pathways related to cell cycle. Total PLK1 and phosphorylated PLK1 protein expression are associated with tumor recurrence and poor overall survival in a cohort of CRC patients. Combining PLK1 inhibitor with oxaliplatin shows a synergize effect to suppress the growth of CRC cell lines, xenograft tumors, preclinical patient-derived organoid and patient-derived xenograft tumors. RNA-seq data reveals that the cell cycle pathways were activated in oxaliplatin group but inhibited after PLK1 inhibitor treatment. CDC7 may be a key downstream effector of PLK1 induced oxaliplatin resistance and can be druggable. Further investigation showed that PLK1 inhibitor suppress the CDC7 expression via c-MYC transcriptional control. A strong positive correlation between PLK1 and CDC7 has been further confirmed in patients. Strikingly, functional studies confirm that combining CDC7 inhibitor with oxaliplatin can recapitulate the synergize effect in various CRC models, highlighting pharmacological target PLK1-MYC-CDC7 signaling as a potential therapeutic strategy for oxaliplatin based chemotherapy.

Dihydroartemisinin suppresses the tumorigenesis and cycle progression of colorectal cancer by targeting CDK1/CCNB1/PLK1 signaling

Project description:Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a well-known antimalarial drug, has been widely investigated as its anti-tumor effects in multiple malignancies. However, its effects and regulatory mechanisms in colorectal cancer (CRC) are still unproved. In this study, the in vitro experiments including CCK8, EdU, Transwell, flow cytometry analyses and in vivo tumorigenesis model were conducted to assess the effects of DHA on the bio-behaviors of CRC cells. Additionally, RNA-seq combined with gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses was used to obtain the targets of DHA and these were verified by molecular docking, qRT-PCR and Western blot. As a result, we found that DHA significantly suppressed the proliferation, DNA synthesis and invasive capabilities, and induced cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in HCT116, DLD1 and RKO cells in vitro and in vivo. Further analyses indicated that the targets of DHA were predominantly enriched in cell cycle-associated pathways, including CDK1, CCNB1 and PLK1, and DHA could bind with CDK1/CCNB1 complex and inhibit the activation of CDK1/CCNB1/PLK1 signaling. Moreover, cucurbitacin E, a specific inhibitor of CDK1/CCNB1 axis enhanced the inhibitory effects of DHA on DNA synthesis and colony formation in HCT116 and DLD1 cells. In short, DHA could suppress the tumorigenesis and cycle progression of CRC cells by targeting CDK1/CCNB1/PLK1 signaling.
