Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with few treatment options for chemo-resistant disease. In both preclinical models and patient circulating tumor cells, androgen receptor (AR) expression is increased in anchorage independent TNBC. The AR inhibitor enzalutamide (Enza) leads to reduced TNBC growth in soft agar, invasion, mammosphere formation in vitro, and reduced tumorigenicity and recurrence when combined with chemotherapy in vivo pre-clinical models. Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) pathway gene signatures are also increased during TNBC anchorage independent survival both in vitro and in vivo in pre-clinical models and CTC from patients during relapse while on chemotherapy. We hypothesized that a positive loop between AR and TGFβ signaling facilitates TNBC anchorage independent survival (anoikis resistance). We previously published that AR protein levels and transcriptional activity increased during anchorage independent conditions and we now find that that multiple components of the TGFβ pathway, including TGFβ1 and 3, as well as pathway activity, as measured by nuclear localization and transcriptional activity of pSmad3, are enhanced in anchorage independent conditions. Indeed, exogenous TGFβ increased AR protein and TGFβ inhibition decreased AR and TNBC viability, particularly under anchorage independent culture conditions. ChIP-Seq experiments revealed AR binding to genomic regions near the TGFB1 and SMAD3. TGFB3 and AR expression were positively correlated in clinical datasets and high levels of co-expression correspond to significantly worse recurrence-free and overall survival in both ER- and basal-like breast cancer. Finally, combining Enza with a TGFβ inhibitor decreased cell survival more than either drug alone, particularly under anchorage independent conditions, where the effect was more than additive. These findings warrant further investigations into whether combined inhibition of AR and TGFβ pathways might decrease metastatic recurrence rates and mortality from TNBC.

Project description:Analysis of mammary glands from tet-inducible(rtTA) transgenic mice expressing cyclin D1 using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST GeneChip arrays. MMTV-rtTA transgenic mice (MMTV-Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus promoter) were cross-mated to cyclin D1 transgenic mice under control of tet operon. 8-week-old tetracycline-inducible cyclin D1/rtTA bi-transgenic pregnant female mice (12 days postcoitus) were treated with doxycycline through drinking water supplementation at a final concentration of 2 mg/ml. Control mice were rtTA transgenics alone and treated in the same manner. After 7 days of doxycycline treatment, the mice were sacrificed and mammary glands taken for RNA isolation. Results provide insight into the in vivo gene expression pattern regulated by cyclin D1 through acute induction. Analysis of mammary glands from MMTV-cyclin D1/WT and MMTV-cyclin D1/KE using Affymetrix Mouse 430A v2.0 GeneChip arrays. Cyclin D1 point mutant, cyclin D1/KE K112E (K112E) contains a lysine to glutamine substitution at amino acid position 112. cyclin D1. The cyclin D1/KE mutant fails to induce cyclin D1-dependent kinase activity. Female MFD1, MFD1-KE, and WT mice were monitored twice weekly, up to 760 days, for the development of palpable tumors. Those developing palpable tumors were sacrificed within a week of tumor detection. Tumors were dissected and portions snap frozen for RNA isolation. Results provide insight into the in vivo gene expression pattern regulated by cyclin D1 that is kinase independent.

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) fate is controlled by environmental cues, among which cytokines play a crucial role. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family signaling pathways controls GSCs. On one hand, TGFβ promotes cell proliferation in GBM, it induces the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB). Moreover, TGFβ, via its signaling mediators Smad2/3, induces the expression of the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and Sox4, which in turn enhances the expression of the stem cell transcription factor Sox2; this increases the self-renewal capacity of the GSCs and their stemness characteristics, and enhances the GSC tumor-initiating potential. On the other hand, Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are known to promote GSC differentiation towards the astrocytic phenotype. To further understand which genes are regulated by TGFβ and BMP7 in GSCs we performed a microarray in the Affymetrix HTA2 platform in three different glioblastoma cell line, U2987, and two patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, U3031MG and U3034MG, in the presence or absence of 5 ng/ml of TGFβ or 30 ng/ml BMP7 for 24 h, three biological replicates per condition.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a devastating liver cancer characterized by high aggressiveness and resistance to therapy, which results to poor prognosis. Signals imposed by oncogenic pathways, such as transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) frequently contribute to CCA development. In this study, we explored novel effectors of the TGFβ pathway in CCA by gene expression profiling. We identified the long non-coding RNA LINC00313 as a novel target gene of TGFβ signalling in CCA cells. TGFβ induced LINC00313 expression in a TβRI/Smad-dependent manner. Subcellular fractionation showed that LINC00313 is a predominantly nuclear lncRNA. By integrating RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data from LINC00313 over-expressing cells, we observed that LINC00313 regulates the expression of several genes involved in the Wnt signalling pathway. As a proof of concept, we focused on the gene encoding transcription factor 7 (TCF7), a major effector that drives transcription of Wnt-target genes. LINC00313 gain of function resulted in increased TCF7 expression, while its loss of function diminished basal or TGFβ-induced TCF7 expression levels. Interestingly, LINC00313 enhanced basal or chemically induced TCF/LEF-dependent transcriptional responses, promoted colony-forming capacities of CCA cells in vitro and accelerated tumor growth in vivo. We also report that genes associated with LINC00313 over-expression recapitulate poor prognosis human CCA associated with a reduced overall survival and KRAS mutations. To decipher the underlying molecular functions of LINC00313, we identified its interacting proteins by performing an unbiased RNA pull-down assay followed by mass spectrometry. We demonstrated that actin-like 6A (ACTL6A), a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex specifically binds to LINC00313 and impacts TCF7 expression and TCF/LEF signalling output. Thus, we propose a model whereby TGFβ induces LINC00313, in order to regulate the expression of a subset of target genes, such as TCF7 possibly in co-operation with the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, via establishing direct interaction with ACTL6A. By regulating key genes of the Wnt pathway, LINC00313 fine-tunes Wnt/TCF/LEF-dependent transcriptional responses and boosts cholangiocarcinogenesis.
