Disrupting ß-catenin dependent Wnt signaling activates an invasive gene program predictive of colon cancer progression

ABSTRACT: The recent classification of colon cancer into molecular subtypes revealed that patients with the poorest prognosis harbor tumors with the lowest levels of Wnt signaling. This is contrary to the long-standing understanding that overactive Wnt signaling promotes tumor progression from early initiation stages through to the later stages including invasion and metastasis. Here, we lower the levels of Wnt signaling in SW480 and SW620 colon cancer cell lines via interference with two different steps in Wnt signaling that lie upstream or downstream of the effector protein ß-catenin. We find that these Wnt-reduced lines exhibit a more aggressive disease phenotype, including increased mobility in vitro and localized invasion in an orthotopic mouse model. RNA sequencing reveals that interference with Wnt signaling leads to an upregulation of gene programs that favor cell migration and invasion. We identify a set of upregulated genes common among the Wnt perturbations, and find that elevated expression of these genes is strongly predictive of poor patient outcomes in early-invasive colon cancer. These genes may have clinical applications as either patient biomarkers or new drug targets to be used in concert with existing therapies.

Project description:Protein extraction and proteolytic digestion were performed using a Filter-Assisted Sample Preparation (FASP) protocol. In case of phosphopeptide enrichment immobilized Fe(III) affinity chromatography (Fe-IMAC) was performed. The peptides were fractionated using an HPLC system fitted with an SCX column. 10 sample datasets were used: 1. CRC_N: Normal tissue samples were obtained from 20 colorectal cancer patients, no quantification.Phosphopeptide enrichment was performed. 2. CRC_T: Human colorectal cancer tissue samples were obtained from 20 patients, no quantification. Phosphopeptide enrichment was performed. 3. CRC_iTRAQ: Human colorectal cancer tissue samples were obtained from 24 patients, iTRAQ quantification. 4. CRC_phospho_iTRAQ:Human colorectal cancer tissue samples were obtained from 24 patients, iTRAQ quantification.Phosphopeptide enrichment was performed. 5. HCT116_iTRAQ: Human colon cancer cell HCT116, iTRAQ quantification. 6. HCT116_phospho_iTRAQ: Human colon cancer cell HCT116, phosphopeptide enrichment, iTRAQ quantification. 7. SW_SILAC_HL: Human colon cancer cell SW480 and SW620, SW480 and SW620 were grown in SILAC media, containing l-arginine (Arg0) and l-lysine (Lys0) (SW480; light), or 13C615N4-l-arginine (Arg10) and 13C6-l-Lysine (Lys6) (SW620; heavy). 8.
