AP-2α Regulates S-phase and is a Marker for Sensitivity to PI3K-inhibitor Buparlisib in Colon Cancer [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Abstract:AP-2α (encoded by TFAP2A) functions as a tumor suppressor and influences response to therapy in several cancer types. We aimed to characterize regulation of the transcriptome by AP-2α in colon cancer. Results: Knockout of TFAP2A induced significant alterations in the transcriptome including repression of TGM2, identified as a primary gene target of AP-2α. Loss of AP-2α delayed progression through S-phase into G2/M and decreased phosphorylation of AKT, effects that were mediated through regulation of TGM2. Buparlisib (BKM120) repressed in vitro invasiveness of HCT116 and LS-180; however, loss of AP-2α induced resistance to Buparlisib. Similarly, Buparlisib repressed PHH3 and growth of tumor xenografts and increased overall survival of tumor-bearing mice, whereas, loss of AP-2α induced resistance to the effect of PI3K inhibition. Conclusion: Loss of AP-2α in colon cancer leads to prolonged S-phase through altered activation of AKT leading to resistance to the PI3K inhibitor, Buparlisib. The findings demonstrate an important role for AP-2α in regulating progression through the cell cycle and indicates that AP-2α is a marker for response to PI3K inhibitors.

AP-2α Regulates S-phase and is a Marker for Sensitivity to PI3K-inhibitor Buparlisib in Colon Cancer [ChIP-seq]

Buparlisib-treated Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX) Reversed Phase Protein Array (RPPA) Data

Project description:Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling activation is frequently observed in triple negative breast cancer, however, PI3K inhibitors have shown limited clinical activity. To investigate resistance mechanisms, we performed global transcriptome, proteome, phosphoproteome and kinome analysis of a panel of triple negative breast cancer patient derived xenograft models with varying responsiveness to buparlisib, a pan-PI3K inhibitor, for differentially expressed baseline and post-treatment biomarkers. Resistance was associated with incomplete inhibition of PI3K and upregulated MAPK/MEK signaling in response to buparlisib. Outlier phosphoproteome and kinome analyses identified additional candidates in association with buparlisib resistance, including NEK9 and MAP2K4. Knockdown of NEK9 or MAPK2K4 reduced both baseline and feedback MAPK/MEK signaling and enhanced buparlisib efficacy in vitro. Interestingly, we show that a complex ins/del in PIK3CA led to a change in buparlisib response in a NEK9/MAP2K4 dependent manner. In summary, our study indicates a role for NEK9 and MAP2K4 in mediating buparlisib resistance and demonstrates the value of unbiased global analyses in uncovering resistance mechanisms to targeted therapy.

Genome-wide identification of AP-2α targets in bladder cells by RNA-seq (Control vs AP-2α OE)

Project description:TFAP2A (AP-2α) is a member of the transcription factor AP-2 family, functions as a tumor suppressor by regulating the expression of various cancer-related genes; its expression is positively correlated with chemosensitivity and survival of cancer patients.

Sumoylation Pathway Is Required to Maintain the Basal Breast Cancer Subtype

Project description:This study is an attempt to characterize the molecular basis for the functional differences between TFAP2A and TFAP2C. Recent findings have highlighted a critical role for the TFAP2C (AP-2γ) transcription factor in maintaining the luminal phenotype through the regulation of luminal-associated genes. Of particular interest is that the highly homologous AP-2 family member, TFAP2A (AP-2α), is expressed in luminal breast cancer but appears to have a functionally distinct role in gene regulation. There is 83% similarity between TFAP2A and TFAP2C with 76% identity in the carboxyl-half of the proteins containing the DNA binding and dimerization domains. Although the two family members appear to have complementary and overlapping roles in regulating neural crest development, they have clear functional differences with regard to regulation of ERα expression. The global genomic binding pattern for TFAP2A and TFAP2C is highly similar. Genomic binding for TFAP2A and TFAP2C in the regulatory region for luminal-associated genes further demonstrated co-localization of the two factors. On the other hand, clear functional differences exist when comparing the effect on the pattern of gene expression following knockdown of TFAP2A vs. TFAP2C. In each case, knockdown of TFAP2C resulted in an abrogation of expression (RNA and protein) of the luminal-associated gene, whereas, knockdown of TFAP2A had minimal or no effect. By contrast, a known TFAP2A target gene, CDKN1A, was responsive to TFAP2A only.

AHR-TFAP2A regulates epidermal differentiation in response to environmental cues [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) is an environmental sensor and an indispensable regulator of epithelial homeostasis. To investigate AHR-mediated gene regulation, we performed a comprehensive transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis using human primary epidermal keratinocytes. Our results showed that AHR activation led to the induction of canonical transcription factors involved in epidermal differentiation as an early response, i.e. Transcription Factor AP-2α (TFAP2A), while epidermal differentiation-related genes, such as filaggrin and keratins, were activated as late responsive genes. The identified AHR-TFAP2A axis and its role in keratinocyte terminal differentiation was confirmed through AHR and TFAP2A knockout using CRISPR/Cas9. Our findings demonstrate that AHR regulates epidermal differentiation through the transient activation of specific transcription factors, such as TFAP2A, in response to environmental cues. The herein identified AHR-TFAP2A axis provides a promising target for the treatment of diseases related to skin barrier dysfunction.

Pathways regulated by oncogenic PTEN/PI3K/AKT signalling in NSCLC

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).
