Project description:Hyperactivation of the phosphatydil-inositol-3' phosphate kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway is observed in most NSCLCs, promoting proliferation, migration, invasion and resistance to therapy. AKT can be activated through several mechanisms that include loss of the negative regulator PTEN, activating mutations of the catalytic subunit of PI3K (PIK3CA) and/or mutations of AKT1 itself. However, number and identity of downstream targets of activated PI3K/AKT pathway are poorly defined. To identify the genes that are targets of constitutive PI3K/AKT signalling in lung cancer cells, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of human lung epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) expressing active mutant AKT1 (AKT1-E17K), active mutant PIK3CA (PIK3CA-E545K) or that are silenced for PTEN. For each sample, 500 ng of total RNA were used to synthesize biotinylated cRNA with Illumina RNA Amplification Kit (Ambion, Austin, TX). Synthesis was carried out according to the manufacturersâ instructions. From each sample, technical triplicates were produced and 750 ng cRNA were hybridized for 18h to Human HT-12_V3_0_R1 Expression BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Hybridized chips were washed and stained with streptavidin-conjugated Cy3 (GE Healthcare, Milan, Italy). BeadChips were dried and scanned with an Illumina Bead Array Reader (Illumina).

Project description:In an effort to identify genes whose expression is regulated by activated PI3K signaling, we performed microarray analysis and subsequent qRT-PCR on an isogenic set of PTEN gene-targeted human cancer cells. Numerous p53 effectors were upregulated following PTEN deletion, including p21, GDF15, PIG3, NOXA, and PLK2. Stable depletion of p53 led to reversion of the gene expression program. Western blots revealed that p53 was stabilized in HCT116 PTEN-/- cells via an Akt1-dependent and p14ARF-independent mechanism. Stable depletion of PTEN in untransformed human fibroblasts and epithelial cells also led to upregulation of p53 and senescent-like growth arrest. Simultaneous depletion of p53 rescued this phenotype, enabling PTEN-depleted cells to continue proliferating. Next, we tested whether oncogenic PIK3CA, like inactivated PTEN, could activate p53. Retroviral expression of oncogenic human PIK3CA in MCF10A cells led to activation of p53 and upregulation of p53-regulated genes. Stable depletion of p53 reversed these PIK3CA-induced expression changes and synergized with oncogenic PIK3CA in inducing anchorage-independent growth. Finally, targeted deletion of an endogenous allele of oncogenic but not wild-type PIK3CA in a human cancer cell line led to a reduction in p53 levels and a decrease in the expression of p53-regulated genes. These studies demonstrate that activation of PI3K signaling by mutations in PTEN or PIK3CA can lead to activation of p53-mediated growth suppression in human cells, indicating that p53 can function as a brake on PIP3-induced mitogenesis during human cancer pathogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: Two HCT116 PTEN+/+ cell lines (parental cells and a clone with random integration of the targeting vector) and three independently-derived HCT116 PTEN-/- cell lines were studied

Project description:Hyperactivation of the PI3K/AKT pathway is observed in most NSCLCs, promoting proliferation, migration and resistance to therapy. AKT can be activated through several mechanisms that include loss of the negative regulator PTEN, activating mutations of the catalytic subunit of the positive regulator phosphatydil-inositol-3â phosphate kinase (PIK3CA) and/or mutations of AKT1 itself. However, whereas the effects of AKT activation on mRNAs and proteins in the cell are fairly clear, the role of miRNAs as downstream targets of activated PI3K/AKT signalling is still poorly defined so far. To identify miRNAs that are targets of constitutive signalling of PI3K/AKT in lung cancer cells, we performed miRNA profiling of human lung epithelial cells expressing active mutant AKT1 (E17K), active mutant PI3KCA (E545K) or that are silenced for PTEN. We identified 28 differentially expressed miRNAs (8 up-regulated, 20 down-regulated) that were common to BEAS-AKT1-E17K, BEAS-PIK3CA-E545K and BEAS-shPTEN cells. Among the 8 up-regulated miRNAs that were common to all the alterations, the miRNA most consistently up-regulated by activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in BEAS-2B cells was miR-196a. The results reported here demonstrate that miR-196a acts as oncogene downstream the PI3K/AKT pathway, mediating the proliferative, pro-migratory and tumorigenic activity of this pathway in NSCLC cells by targeting FoxO1 and p27 expression. By adoptive expression of miR-196a in BEAS-2B cells, we demonstrated that miR-196a stimulates anchorage-dependent and -independent proliferation, migration and tumorigenicity in BEAS-2B cells. On the other hand, by use of antimir-196a in NCI-H460 cells to silence the endogenous expression of miR-196a, we demonstrate that miR-196a plays a pivotal role in mediating the stimulation of proliferation, migration and tumorigenicity induced by aberrant activation of PI3K/AKT signalling. Accordingly, we found that miR-196a was significantly overexpressed in human NSCLC-derived cell lines (n=6) and primary lung cancer samples (n=28). Finally, based on predicted binding sites for miR-196a by microRNA analysis software, we found that miR-196a affects protein levels of FoxO1 and p27 in NSCLC cells.

Project description:Background: PIK3CA mutations are observed in >30% of breast cancers, which are more common in estrogen receptor (ERα)-positive breast cancer compared with ERα-negative breast cancer. AKT1, 2, and 3 isoforms, major isoforms downstream of PI3K, modulate ERα activity. It is unknown whether PIK3CA mutation leads to preferential activation of specific AKT isoforms with an ability to modulate ERα function. Methods: Gene expression arrays were performed on parental, AKT1 knockdown or AKT2 knockdown MCF-7 breast cancer cells with or without estradiol treatment for three hours. Results: AKT1 had a dominant role in ERα:estradiol-dependent gene expression and proliferation. We have identified a unique gene expression signature that is dependent on ERα, estradiol, AKT1 and the pioneer factor FOXA1. Overexpression of this signature was associated with better outcome in patients with ERα-positive breast cancer. In contrast, AKT2 controlled global gene expression.

Project description:The RTK/RAS/PI3K pathway is a key driver of tumorigenesis across all cancers, with 90% of Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors exhibiting alterations in this pathway. Among the specific genes in this pathway mutations in PI3K’s catalytic subunit, PIK3CA, are found in 11% of GBM tumors. Sequencing of GBM samples has revealed several known hotspot mutations that drive tumorigenesis in several cancers (E545K, H1047R), as well as a series of 63 in frame mutations (as indexed in COSMIC) that remain largely unclassified. To decode which of these PIK3CA variants function as drivers of GBM, we established an in vivo complementation screening platform for GBM. Our mouse GBM model relies on in utero electroporation (IUE) and CRISPR-Cas9 mediated knockout of NF1, p53, and PTEN (termed 3xCR). Because PTEN catalyzes the reverse reaction of PIK3CA, phosphorylation of PIP2 to PIP3, we complemented loss of PTEN with overexpression of E545K or H1047R, two bona fide hot spot driver mutations of PIK3CA. Both these variants accelerated tumor associated death, demonstrating that known PIK3CA drivers can complement PTEN loss in our system.

Project description:Purpose: Despite extensive genomic and transcriptomic profiling, it remains unknown how signaling pathways are differentially activated and how tumors are differentially sensitized to certain perturbations. Here, we aim to characterize AKT signaling activity and its association with other genomic or immunohistochemistry-based PI3K/AKT pathway biomarkers as well as the clinical activity of ipatasertib (AKT inhibitor) in the FAIRLANE trial. Experimental Design: In FAIRLANE, 151 patients with early triple-negative breast cancer were randomized 1:1 to receive paclitaxel with ipatasertib or placebo for 12 weeks prior to surgery. Adding ipatasertib did not increase pathologic complete response rate and numerically improved overall response rate by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We used reverse-phase protein microarrays (RPPA) to examine the total level and/or phosphorylation states of over 100 proteins in various signaling or cell processes including PI3K/AKT and mTOR signaling. 125 baseline and 127 on-treatment samples were evaluable by RPPA, with 110 paired samples at both time points. Results: Tumors with genomic/protein alterations in PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN were associated with higher levels of AKT phosphorylation. In addition, phosphorylated(p)AKT levels exhibited a significant association with enriched clinical benefit of ipatasertib, and identified patients who received benefit in the absence of PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations. Ipatasertib treatment led to a down-regulation of AKT/mTORC1 signaling, which was more pronounced among the tumors with PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations or among the responders to the treatment. Conclusions: We showed that the high baseline pAKT levels are associated with the alterations of PI3K/AKT pathway components and enriched benefit of ipatasertib in TNBC.

Project description:Purpose: The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is activated in most MM. In MM the mechanism of this pathway activation has not been completely elucidated, although loss of expression of PI3K pathway regulator, PTEN, is a frequent event in MM. Pten;Trp53 combined genetic loss in mouse mesothelium leads to non-epithelioid MM development. We assessed more broadly the impact of PI3K activation in MM development by comparing the effects of Pik3ca activation versus Pten inactivation in combination with Trp53 deletion on MM development. RNAseq was performed from tumor samples derived from Ptenlox/lox ; Trp53lox/lox and Pik3caH1047R/+; Trp53lox/lox mice derived sarcomatoid MM. Results: Our data also reveal that Pten loss has stronger oncogenic properties than Pik3ca mutation in MM.

Project description:Phosphoinositide-3-kinase/protein-kinaseB/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) signalling plays an important role in breast cancer (BC). Its interaction with estrogen receptor (ER) signalling becomes more complex and inter-dependent with acquired endocrine resistance. Targeting mTOR combined with endocrine therapy has shown clinical utility, however, a negative feedback-loop exists downstream of PI3K/AKT/mTOR. Direct blockade of AKT together with endocrine therapy may improve BC treatment. AZD5363, a novel pan-AKT kinase catalytic inhibitor, was examined in a panel of ER+ BC cell lines (MCF7, HCC1428, T47D, ZR75.1) adapted to long-term-estrogen-deprivation (LTED) or tamoxifen (TamR). AZD5363 caused a dose-dependent decrease in proliferation in all cell lines tested (GI50<500nM) except HCC1428 and HCC1428-LTED. T47D-LTED and ZR75-LTED were the most sensitive of the lines (GI50~100nM). AZD5363 re-sensitised TamR cells to tamoxifen and acted synergistically with fulvestrant. AZD5363 decreased p-AKT/mTOR targets leading to a reduction in ERα-mediated transcription in a context specific manner and concomitant decrease in recruitment of ER and CREB-binding protein (CBP) to estrogen-response-elements located on the TFF1, PGR and GREB1 promoters. Furthermore, AZD5363 reduced expression of cell-cycle-regulatory proteins. Global gene expression highlighted ERBB2-ERBB3, ERK5 and IGF1 signaling pathways driven by MYC as potential feedback-loops. Combined treatment with AZD5363 and fulvestrant showed synergy in an ER+ patient derived xenograft and delayed tumour progression post-cessation of therapy. These data support the combination of AZD5363 with fulvestrant as a potential therapy for BC that is sensitive or resistant to E-deprivation or tamoxifen and that activated AKT is a determinant of response, supporting the need for clinical evaluation. Cell lines were treated in biological triplicates in the absence of estrogen with or without AZD5363 for 24hours in order to identify gene changes associated with perturbation of AKT signalling
