HIF-1-regulated expression of calreticulin promotes breast tumorigenesis and progression through Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation

ABSTRACT: Calreticulin (CALR) is a multi-functional protein that participates in various cellular processes, which include calcium homeostasis, cell adhesion, protein folding and cancer progression. However, the role of CALR in breast cancer is unclear. Here we report that CALR is overexpressed in breast cancer compared with normal tissue, and its expression is correlated with patient mortality and stemness indices. CALR expression was increased in mammosphere cultures, CD24-CD44+ subsets and ALDH+ subsets, which are enriched for breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). Additionally, CALR knockdown led to BCSC depletion, which impaired tumor initiation and metastasis, and enhanced chemosensitivity in vivo. Chromatinimmunoprecipitation and reporter assays revealed that hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) directly activated CALR transcription in hypoxic breast cancer cells. CALR expression was correlated with Wnt/β-catenin pathway activation and an activator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling abrogated the inhibitory effect of CALR knockdown on mammosphere formation. Taken together, our results demonstrate that CALRfacilitates breast cancer progression by promoting the BCSC phenotype through Wnt/β-catenin signaling in a HIF-1-dependent manner, and suggest that CALR may represent a novel target for breast cancer therapy.

A Novel Role of Wnt/β Catenin Signaling in Regulating the Nucleolus in Triple Negative Breast CancerA Novel Role of Wnt/β Catenin Signaling in Regulating the Nucleolus in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. One key signaling pathway known to regulate tumor growth, metabolic adaptation, and cellular stress response in breast cancer is Wnt signaling. Breast cancer patients, specifically triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), with upregulated Wnt signaling often have a poor clinical prognosis. However, the effects of Wnt/β-catenin signaling on the nucleolus and the resultant impact on cancer development and progression remain unclear. A notable reduction was observed in the number of nucleoli per nucleus in response to Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibition in multiple TNBC cell lines. Our comparative proteomic analysis revealed several changes in the composition of the nucleolar proteome of TNBC cells upon inhibition of Wnt signaling. Overall, we demonstrate that Wnt/β-catenin signaling will affects nucleolar functionality and thus influences breast cancer progression. Understanding the role of Wnt signaling in the nucleolus and breast cancer is a critical step towards developing novel therapeutic options for the treatment of breast cancer.

Transcriptome analysis of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in which VASP gene was knocked down

Project description:Previous studies have shown that the main function of VASP is to regulate the cytoskeleton and play an important role in promoting tumor cell metastasis. In this study, we first reveal that VASP is located in the nucleus of breast cancer cells and elucidate a Wnt/β-catenin/VASP positive feedback loop. We identify that VASP is a target gene of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway can significantly upregulate VASP protein expression, while upregulated VASP protein can in turn promote translocation of β-catenin and DVL3 proteins into the nucleus. In the nucleus, VASP, DVL3, β-catenin and TCF4 can form VASP/DVL3/β-catenin/TCF4 protein complex, activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and promoting the expression of target genes VASP, c-myc and cyclin D1. Thus, our study reveals that there is a Wnt/β-catenin/VASP malignant positive feedback loop in breast cancer, which promotes the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells, and breaking this positive feedback loop may provide new strategy for breast cancer treatment.

Gene expression profiles from mammary tissue of control mice, small K5M-NM-^TNM-NM-2cat hyperplasia, large K5M-NM-^TNM-NM-2cat hyperplasia and K5M-NM-^TNM-NM-2cat tumor

Project description:Basal-like breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease characterised by the expression of basal cell markers, no oestrogen or progesterone receptor expression and a lack of HER2 overexpression. Recent studies have linked activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway to basal-like breast cancer. Transgenic mice expressing N-terminally truncated stabilised beta-catenin in the mammary basal/myoepithelial cell layer (K5deltaNbetacat strain) develop mammary hyperplasias that progress to invasive carcinomas. Histological and microarray analyses of these lesions have revealed their high similarity to a subset of basal-like human breast tumours with squamous differentiation. As in human basal-like carcinomas, the Myc pathway was found to be activated in the mammary lesions of K5deltaNbetacat mice. Mammosphere and transplantation assays showed that a basal cell population with stem/progenitor characteristics was amplified in K5deltaNbetacat mouse preneoplastic glands. Myc deletion from the mammary basal layer of K5deltaNbetacat mice abolished both basal cell regenerative capacity and tumorigenesis. These results show that Myc is essential for beta-catenin-induced stem cell amplification and tumorigenesis and that basal stem/progenitor cells may be at the origin of a subset of basal-like breast tumours. mammary tissue from K5M-NM-^TNM-NM-2cat mice were dissected at successive stages of development (small hyperplasia (n=5), large hyperplasia (n=5), tumor (n=11) and control (n=4)) for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays

Impact of HGFL-Ron signaling on breast cancer stem cell transcriptomic profiles.

Project description:Introduction: HGFL-Ron signaling is augmented in human breast cancer and is associated with poor overall prognosis. Here, we investigate the role of HGFL-Ron signaling in murine breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) through characterization of BCSC transcriptomes through RNA-sequencing, focusing on the impact of Ron knockdown through a short hairpin construct. Methods:R7 breas cancer cell lines were drived from mammary tumors in transgenic MMTV_Ron mice. They were sorted based on expression of cell surface markers indicative of lineage negative, CD29hi and CD24+ cells. Bulk R7, sorted cells, and sorted cells treated with shRon were submitted for transcriptomic characterization on the Illumina HiSeq 2500. High quality reads were aligned to the mm9 genome and quantified to generate RPKM. Results: Approximately 30 million reads were aligned to the mouse genome in each sample which corresponded to over 36000 transcripts. Of these, ~16000 were included in analysis. Conclusions: Differential expression analysis indicated that depletion of Ron markely reduces mammosphere formation and self-renewal, and highlighted by the decrease in B-catenin and NFKB pathways.

Leptin as a Mediator of Tumor-Stromal Interactions Promotes Breast Cancer Stem Cell Activity

Project description:Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) play crucial roles in tumor initiation, metastasis and resistance to anticancer therapies. These cells rely for their properties on complex interactions with the tumor microenvironment through networks of cytokines and growth factors. In this study, we investigated how leptin, as a mediator of tumor-stromal interactions, may affect BCSC activity using breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived samples. Microarray analyses revealed a similar expression profile of genes involved in stem cell biology in mammosphere cells treated with stromal cell-CM and leptin.

The beta-catenin interactome in a vascular smooth muscle cell model

Project description:Canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling is an essential regulator of various cellular functions throughout development and adulthood. Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signalling also contributes to various pathologies including cancer, necessitating an understanding of cell context dependent mechanisms regulating this pathway. Since protein-protein interactions underpin β-catenin function and localization, we sought to identify novel β-catenin interacting partners by affinity purification coupled with tandem mass spectrometry in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), where β-catenin is involved in both physiological and pathological control of cell proliferation. Here, we report novel components of the VSMC β-catenin interactome.

miR-600 acts as a bimodal switcher that regulates breast cancer stem cell fate through WNT signaling

Project description:Breast cancer stem cells (bCSCs) have been implicated in tumor progression and therapeutic resistance; however, the molecular mechanisms that define bCSC-state are unclear. We have performed concurrent human miRNome-wide gain- and loss-of-function screens to identify switcher miRNAs controling the choice between bCSC self-renewal and differentiation. These analysis enlightened miR-600 whose silencing resulted in bCSC expansion. Mechanistically, miR-600 targets the stearoyl desaturase 1 (SCD1), an enzyme required to produce active, lipid-modified WNT proteins. To explore further miR-600 interactions and WNT-pathway, SUM159 cell line constructions were made and FACS-sorted to select the bCSCs. We compared gene expression profiles from native, miR-600 'over-expressed', miR-600'knock-down' and siSCD1 bCSCs. We showed that in the absence of miR-600, WNT signaling is maintained active and promotes self-renewal, whereas overexpression of miR-600 inhibits the production of active WNT proteins and promotes bCSC differentiation. These findings highlight a miR-600-centered signaling network that governs bCSC-fate decision and influences tumor progression.
