Project description:To investigate the effect of STAT3 activation on the expression of gastric cancer cells, expression profile was compared in MKN28 cells overexpressed with control vector vs mouse constitutively activated STAT3 mutant (STAT3c). MKN28 gastric cancer cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1 (vector control) or plasmid overexpressing STAT3c (treatment). Stable clones were selected for RNA extraction and expression microarray analysis (Agilent). Experiments were repeated twice.

Project description:Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) is considered as an oncogene being constitutively activated in a wide variety of primary human tumours, which often become addicted to its activity. Using primary fibroblasts derived from a knock-in mouse expressing only the constitutively active form STAT3-C as well as STAT3-dependent tumor cell lines MDA-MB468, DU145 and SKBR3, we provide evidence that STAT3 can act as a central regulator of cell metabolism. STAT3C/C MEFs are resistant to apoptosis and senescence and they show reduced mitochondrial activity but activate aerobic glycolysis, as shown by enhanced expression of master regulators of glycolysis such as PDK-1 and HIF-1α, and by increased lactate production, glucose avidity and sensitivity to glycolysis inhibitors. HIF-1α is up-regulated in the STAT3C/C MEFs and is responsible for the glycolytic phenotype. Moreover, inhibition of STAT3 activity in STAT3-addicted tumour cell lines restores mitochondrial activity and down-regulates glycolytic metabolism, preceding the induction of massive apoptosis. Thus, the essential role observed for STAT3 in so many different cancer cell types may be partly explained by its ability to act as a molecular switch of cellular metabolism triggering abnormal cell survival/proliferation. Three biological replicates of MEFs from mice with constitutively active Stat3 are compared to three biological replicates of wild-type MEFs.

Project description:Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a critical transcription factor in cancer. However, while the protein-coding target genes of STAT3 have been extensively studied, the microRNA target genes of STAT3 are less understood. MicroRNAs are short, non-coding RNAs that regulate messenger RNAs through translational inhibition and transcript degradation. They have been found to be involved in all aspects of cancer biology. Given the roles of both STAT3 and miRNAs in cancer, the function of STAT3 as a transcription factor, and the dearth of known STAT3 miRNA targets, our goal was to identify novel STAT3 miRNA targets relevant to cancer. To do so, we engineered MCF-10A cells with doxycycline-inducible expression of STAT3C. STAT3C is a constitutively-active mutant version of STAT3. Although STAT3 can be activated by various growth factors and kinases, other pathways can be activated as well, which would confound analysis of the results. Thus, the advantage of STAT3C is that it allowed specific and focused activation of STAT3 alone, and this screen represents the first genome-wide survey of miRNA expression changes associated specifically with STAT3 activity. MCF-10A, a non-transformed breast epithelial cell line, was chosen because STAT3C has been reported to be sufficient to cause their neoplastic transformation. Therefore, we reasoned that analysis of STAT3C’s effects in MCF-10A cells would be especially informative for STAT3-regulated miRNAs relevant to cancer. As a result of our study, we identified previously-known as well as novel miRNA targets of STAT3.

Doxycycline-inducible MCF-10A cells were seeded, and then untreated (grown in standard growth media alone) or treated with 2?g/ml doxycycline for 48hr. Each condition was performed in biological triplicate (labeled A, B, and C), for a total of 6 samples. Total RNA was harvested and submitted to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory. MicroRNA expression profiling was performed using TaqMan Low-Density Arrays (TLDA), human miRNA version 2.0A and version 3.0B cards (Applied Biosystems).

Project description:Potential Stat3 target genes involved in hair follicle formation were examined using mouse whole-genome microarray analysis. Global gene expression patterns in the epidermis of transgenic mice with keratinocytes expressing a constitutively active Stat3BK5.Stat3C mice (Sano et al., 2005) were compared with the pattern in the epidermis of wild-type mice. Of approximately 130 differentially expressed genes detected by microarray, approximately 70 genes were significantly up-regulated in epidermis by constitutive activation of Stat3. Thirty three of these genes were hair follicle related genes. These genes included trichohyalin, hair keratins, and keratin-associated proteins that are expressed in the hair shaft and inner root sheath as essential structural components for hair growth (Winter et al., 1997). To confirm the microarray results, five genes whose expression was up-regulated in the epidermis of BK5.Stat3C mice were chosen for quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Consistent with the microarray data, the expression of Tchh, Krtap16-8, Krtap6-1, Krt33a, and Krt25d was significantly increased in the epidermis of BK5.Stat3C mice compared to wild-type mice. In addition, Krtap16-1, which was not identified by microarray analysis but is localized on mouse chromosome 16, was highly expressed in the epidermis of BK5.Stat3C mice in comparison to wild-type (Figure 1f).

Project description:Pathogenic Th17 cells play an important role in many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Their function is dependent on signaling through the T cell receptor (TCR) and cytokines that activate the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). TCR engagement activates stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and calcium (Ca2+) influx through the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channel. We here show that deletion of STIM1 and Ca2+ influx in T cells expressing a hyperactive form of STAT3 (STAT3C) attenuates pathogenic Th17 cell function and multiorgan inflammation associated with STAT3C expression. Deletion of STIM1 in pathogenic Th17 cells impairs the expression of nuclear encoded mitochondrial electron transport chain genes and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) but enhances reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Deletion of STIM1 or inhibition of OXPHOS is associated with impaired Th17 cell function and a non-pathogenic Th17 gene expression signature. Our findings establish STIM1 and Ca2+ signals as a critical regulator of OXPHOS and oxidative stress in pathogenic Th17 cells and multiorgan inflammation.

Project description:Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is altered in several epithelial cancers and represents a potential therapeutic target. Here, STAT3 expression, activity and cellular functions were examined in two main histotypes of esophageal carcinomas. In situ, immunohistochemistry for STAT3 and STAT3-Tyr705 phosphorylation (P-STAT3) in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) and Barrett’s adenocarcinomas (BAC) revealed similar STAT3 expression in ESCCs and BACs, but preferentially activated P-STAT3 in ESCCs. In vitro, strong STAT3 activation was seen by EGF-stimulation in OE21 (ESCC) cells, whilst OE33 (BAC) cells showed constitutive weak STAT3 activation. STAT3 knockdown significantly reduced cell proliferation of OE21 and OE33 cells and reduced cell migration in OE33, but not in OE21 cells. Transcriptome analysis identified STAT3-knockdown associated down-regulation of cell cycle processes and the selective down-regulation of cyclins and cyclin dependent kinaes associated genes in both OE21 and OE33 cells. Moreover, the transcriptome response showed changes in cell migration/invasion related genes that correlated with the associated phenotype measurements. This study demonstrates the importance of STAT3 expression and activation in esophageal carcinomas, whereby the extent differs between ESCCs and BACs. STAT3 knockdown significantly reduces cell proliferation in both types of esophageal cancer cells and inhibits migration in BAC cells. Thus, STAT3 may be further exploited as potential novel therapeutic target for esophageal cancers.

Thus, STAT3 may be further exploited as potential novel therapeutic target for esophageal cancers. The effect of STAT3 knock-down in OE33 and OE21 cells was calculated from three biologically independent experiments. 3x10e4 cells were seeded in triplicate in 24 well-plates and were transfected with twice 100nM STAT3 siRNA (pool of 4 STAT3 sequences, siGENOMEM-BM-.SMARTpoolM-BM-., Dharmacon RNAi Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lafayette, USA) or SilencerM-BM-. negative siRNA control (Invitrogen/Life Technologies GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) using 1M-BM-5l DharmaFECT (Dharmacon RNAi Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lafayette, USA) transfection reagent for OE33 cells or siPORTTM NeoFXTM (Invitrogen/Life Technologies GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) transfection reagent for OE21 cells. Differential gene regulation was quantified 72 hours after the first transfection by comparing separately for the OE21 and OE33 cells the STAT3 siRNA replicates and the respective cell lines containing the scrambled siRNA vector.
