Project description:In this study we want to compare the expression profiles of E-cadherin high and low tumor cells from 4 different mice with breast cancer brain metastasis. We used a breast cancer brain metastasis model derived from the PyMT E-cadherin-mCFP breast cancer model (Beerling et al. Cell Reports 2016) and FACS sorted samples based on endogenous E-cadherin-mCFP expression.

Project description:IGFBP5, a critical regulators of insulin-like growth factors, has been reported to be involved in many kinds of carcinogenesis and cancer metastases. The role of IGFBP5 in human malignant melanoma (MM), however, remains largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that IGFBP5 was aberrantly expressed in human melanoma cells and cancer tissues. Overexpression of IGFBP5 dramatically inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of human melanoma cells, whereas knockdown of IGFBP5 by shRNA resulted in the opposite effects, enhanced the cell proliferation, migration and metastasis. In addition, IGFBP5 overexpression suppressed the growth and metastasis of melanoma xenograft tumor in vivo and IGFBP5 overexpression inhibited epithelialâmesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype and stem cell property of tumor cell, with decreased expression of HIF1α, E-cadherin and stem cell markers NANOG, SOX2, OCT4, KLF4 and CD133. Moreover, IGFBP5 exhibited its growth inhibitory activity through inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated Kinase (ERK) and P38-MAPK signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings indicate that IGFBP5 acts as tumor suppressor roles in MM through the modulation of ERK1/2 and P38-MAPK signaling pathway as well as EMT procession and cell stemness, suggesting IGFBP5 as a novel target for human melanoma diagnosis and therapy. mRNA profiles of IGFBP5 over expression (OE) in A375 and A375 cell line were generated using Ion torrent

Project description:In advanced malignancies, cancer cells have acquired capabilities to resist a variety of stress-inducing insults. We show that c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) stress signaling is highly active in cancer cells from patients with late stage breast cancer and promotes tumor growth and metastasis in mouse models. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that JNK activity induces genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM), wound healing and mammary stem cells. The ECM proteins and niche components osteopontin (SPP1) and tenascin C (TNC) are induced by JNK signaling and promote metastatic colonization of the lungs. Notably, treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs induces JNK activity in breast cancer cells, reinforcing the production of SPP1 and TNC. Inhibition of JNK or reduction of SPP1 or TNC expression sensitizes primary tumors and metastases in mice to chemotherapy. We used Affymetrix microarrays to analyze the transcriptomic output modulated by JNK activity in a lung metastatic derivative of the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line, MDA231-LM2.

We used Affymetrix microarrays to investigate gene expression changes upon culturing metastatic breast cancer cells as oncospheres, in ultra-low adhesive plates in the absence of serum, in contrast to regular monolayer culture conditions.

Project description:Epidermal keratinocytes respond to extracellular influences by activating cytoplasmic signal transduction pathways that change the transcriptional profiles of affected cells. To define responses to two such pathways, p38 and ERK, we used SB203580 and PD98059 as specific inhibitors, and identified the regulated genes after 1, 4, 24 and 48 hrs, using Affymetrix’ Hu133Av2 microarrays. Additionally, we compared genes specifically regulated by p38 and ERKs with those regulated by JNK and by all three pathways simultaneously. We find that the p38 pathway induces the expression of extracellular matrix and proliferation-associated genes, while suppressing microtubule-associated genes; the ERK pathway induces the expression of nuclear envelope and mRNA splicing proteins, while suppressing steroid synthesis and mitochondrial energy production enzymes. Both pathways promote epidermal differentiation and induce feedback inactivation of MAPK signaling. c-FOS, SRY and N-Myc appear to be the principal targets of the p38 pathway, Elk-1 SAP1 and HLH2 of ERK, while FREAC-4, ARNT and USF are common to both. The results for the first time comprehensively define the genes regulated by the p38 and ERK pathways in epidermal keratinocytes and suggest a list of targets potentially useful in therapeutic interventions. Human epidermal keratinocytes are grown in Keratinocyte Serum-Free Medium (Gibco) supplemented with 0.05 mg/ml bovine pituitary extract, 2.5 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 0.09 mM CalCl2 and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (KGM). They are switched to Keratinocyte Serum Free-Media (Gibco) supplemented only with 1% penicillin/streptomycin (KBM) 24 h prior to commencing experiments. A set is left as controls, others treated with 5 uM JNK inhibitor SP600125, 15 uM p38 inhibitor SB203580, or 50 um ERK inhibitor PD98059. Timecourse of treated and parellel control samples over a 48 hr period was performed.

Project description:CdGAP/ARHGAP31 is a molecular target of TGFb-mediated EMT and required for Her2-positive breast cancer growth and metastasis Metastasis is the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has a crucial role in metastasis and is highly critical for tumor cell dissemination. CdGAP/ARHGAP31 is highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and is associated with poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients. CdGAP cooperates in a GAP-independent manner with the transcriptional repressor Zeb2 to function as a critical modulator of breast cancer through repression of E-cadherin transcription. In this study, we used a murine model of Her2+ breast cancer to investigate further the role of CdGAP in breast tumorigenesis. We found that CdGAP was essential for tumor formation and metastasis to the lungs in the Her2+ mouse breast cancer model. We determined that CdGAP is required for intravasation and growth at the metastatic sites. By using global gene expression approaches, we found that CdGAP depletion in Her2+ primary tumors was associated with an EMT signature, including a decreased expression of the metastatic factor claudin-2 and an increase in E-cadherin expression. In Her2+ breast cancer cells, CdGAP expression is positively regulated by the TGFb canonical pathway in a smad-dependent manner and regulates cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and adhesion. CdGAP was found to interact with the focal adhesion protein Talin and regulates focal adhesion dynamics in breast cancer cells. Collectively, CdGAP appears as a potential anti-metastatic target for the treatment of Her2+ breast cancer.

Project description:The loss of E-cadherin causes dysfunction of the cell-cell junction machinery, which is an initial step in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), facilitating cancer cell invasion and the formation of metastases. A set of transcriptional repressors of E-cadherin (CDH1) gene expression, including Snail1, Snail2 and Zeb2 mediate E-cadherin down-regulation in breast cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the control of E-cadherin expression in breast cancer progression remain largely unknown. Here, by using global gene expression approaches, we uncover a novel function for Cdc42 GTPase-activating protein (CdGAP) in the regulation of expression of genes involved in EMT. We found that CdGAP used its proline-rich domain to form a functional complex with Zeb2 to mediate the repression of E-cadherin expression in ErbB2-transformed breast cancer cells. Conversely, knockdown of CdGAP expression led to a decrease of the transcriptional repressors Snail1 and Zeb2, and this correlated with an increase in E-cadherin levels, restoration of cell-cell junctions, and epithelial-like morphological changes. In vivo, loss of CdGAP in ErbB2-transformed breast cancer cells impaired tumor growth and suppressed metastasis to lungs. Finally, CdGAP was highly expressed in basal-type breast cancer cells, and its strong expression correlated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. Together, these data support a previously unknown nuclear function for CdGAP where it cooperates in a GAP-independent manner with transcriptional repressors to function as a critical modulator of breast cancer through repression of E-cadherin transcription. Targeting Zeb2-CdGAP interactions may represent novel therapeutic opportunities for breast cancer treatment.
