Project description:Tumor-associated myeloid cells play a pivotal role in the regulation of processes that control tumor growth and metastasis, and their accumulation in tumors is an established negative prognostic factor in breast cancer. Here, we show that inhibition of calcium/calmodulin-dependentkinase kinase 2 (CaMKK2) expression within myeloid cells inhibits tumor growth in mouse models of mammary cancer. This activity is associated with the accumulation of macrophages within the tumor microenvironment that express high levels of the major histocompatibility molecule class II molecule I-A (MHC II I-A), and granzyme positive CD8+T-cells. Treatment with specific CaMKK2 inhibitors block tumor growth, in a CD8+ T-cell dependent manner, and facilitates favorable reprogramming of the immune cell microenvironment. CaMKK2 protein expression was highest in the most aggressive subtypes of human breast cancer and, in the most malignant tumors, both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages express high levels of this enzyme. In aggregate, these findings implicate CaMKK2 as a macrophage-selective immune checkpoint, the inhibition of which may have utility in the immunotherapy of breast cancer.

Project description:To determine the function of Camkk2 in HSC we performed a microarray analysis on isolated KSL from WT and Camkk2 null mice. Using a threshold of 0.05 for statistical significance (p-value) and a log fold change of expression with absolute value of at least 0.6, 1831 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified out of a total of 29352 genes with measured expression. When compared to WT KSL, 1289 genes were significantly downregulated and 533 genes were upregulated in Camkk2 null HSC. The genes downregulated in Camkk2 null KSL were strongly enriched in HSC, early progenitors and lymphoid-myeloid-affiliated genes (s-myly) primed in HSC. Of note, HSC-affiliated genes found downregulated in Camkk2 KSL included Hlf, Meis1, Pbx-1 and Prdm5 which are 4 of the 8 genes capable to reprogram committed murine blood cells into HSC. The GSEA analysis also showed that genes affiliated with the late progenitor signature and erythroid genes primed in HSC and GMP specific genes (d-my) were significantly upregulated in Camkk2 null KSL. These findings indicate Camkk2 controls crucial transcriptional programs involved in the mechanism of HSC differentiation and lineage commitment.

Project description:Elevation of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) activates Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinases (CaMK) and promotes gene transcription. This essential signaling pathway is referred to as excitation-transcription (E-T) coupling. Although vascular myocytes can exhibit E-T coupling, the molecular mechanisms and physiological/pathological roles are unknown. Multiscale analysis spanning from single molecules to whole organisms has revealed essential steps in mouse vascular smooth muscle E-T coupling: (1) Upon depolarizing stimulus Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel Cav1.2 activates CaMKK2, which results in phosphorylation of CaMK1a and CREB in the nucleus. (2) Within caveolae the formation of molecular complex of Cav1.2/CaMKK2/CaMK1a is promoted in the vascular myocytes. (3) Ca2+ influx through Cav1.2 localized to caveolae directly activates CaMKK2. (4) CaMK1a is phosphorylated by CaMKK2 at caveolae and translocated to the nucleus upon membrane depolarization. In addition, RNAseq analysis revealed that sustained depolarization of mesenteric artery preparation selectively induced genes related to chemotaxis, leukocyte adhesion and inflammation, and these changes were reversed by inhibitors of Cav1.2, CaMKK2 and CaMK or disruption of caveolae. In the context of pathophysiology, when mesenteric artery was loaded by high pressure in vivo, we noted CREB phosphorylation in myocytes, macrophage accumulation at adventitia, and increased thickness and cross-sectional area of tunica media. These changes were reduced in caveolin1-KO mice or in mice treated with a CaMKK2 inhibitor STO609. In summary, E-T coupling depend on Cav1.2/CaMKK2/CaMK1a localized to caveolae, and this molecular complex converts [Ca2+]i changes to gene transcription, leading to macrophage accumulation and media remodeling for adaptation to increased circumferential stretch.

Project description:The calcium-calmodulin (Ca2+-CaM) dependent protein kinase kinase-2 (CaMKK2) is activated by increases in intracellular Ca2+ and is a key regulator of cellular and wholebody energy metabolism. CaMKK2 inhibition protects against prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and metabolic derangements induced by a high-fat diet, therefore elucidating the intracellular mechanisms that inactivate CaMKK2 has important therapeutic implications. Here we show that stimulation of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) signaling in cells inactivates CaMKK2 by phosphorylation of three conserved serine residues. PKA-dependent phosphorylation of Ser495 directly impairs Ca2+-CaM activation, whereas phosphorylation of Ser100 and Ser511 mediate recruitment of 14-3-3 adaptor proteins that hold CaMKK2 in the inactivated state by preventing dephosphorylation of phospho-Ser495. We also report the crystal structure of 14-3-3z bound to a synthetic diphosphorylated peptide that reveals how the canonical (Ser511) and non-canonical (Ser100) 14-3-3 consensus sites on CaMKK2 co-operate to bind 14-3-3 proteins. Our findings provide a detailed mechanistic insight into how cAMP-PKA signaling inactivates CaMKK2 and reveals a pathway to inhibit CaMKK2 with potential for treating human diseases.

Project description:Cysteine dioxygenase type 1 (Cdo1) is a key enzyme for cysteine catabolism that is enriched in liver, whose role in NAFLD remains poorly understood. Here, we show that exercise induces the expression of hepatic Cdo1 via the cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway. Hepatocyte-specific knockout of Cdo1 (Cdo1LKO) impairs the effect of exercise against NAFLD, whereas hepatocyte-specific overexpression of Cdo1 (Cdo1LTG) and exercise synergistically ameliorates NAFLD in male mice. Mechanistically, Cdo1 facilitates the binding between AMPK and kinase active Camkk2, which activates AMPK signaling. This promotes fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis in hepatocytes to attenuate hepatosteatosis. Therefore, by promoting hepatic Camkk2-AMPK signaling pathway, Cdo1 acts as an important downstream effector of exercise to combat against NAFLD

Project description:Glioblastoma cell networks harbor a plastic population of highly active glioblastoma cells that display rhythmic Ca2+ oscillations and are particularly connected to others. Targeting the autonomous rhythmic activity of periodic tumor cells by pharmacological interference with the potassium channel KCa3.1 strongly compromised global network communication. This led to a marked reduction of tumor cell viability within the entire network, reduced tumor growth in mice, and prolonged animal survival. The dependency of glioblastoma networks on periodic Ca2+ activity generates a vulnerability that can be exploited for the development of novel therapies, with KCa3.1 inhibiting drugs as one example. To investigate the molecular mechanism of KCa3.1 blockade, we exposed glioblastoma cells to Senicapoc, a selective inhinitor of the KCa3.1 channel, and performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-Seq.

Project description:Gastric cancer is a global health concern. Molecular alterations in various signaling pathways have been implicated in the development and late-stage progression/metastasis of gastric cancer. Reports have suggested that Wnt signaling pathway might contribute to gastric carcinogenesis by stimulating migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells. This study aimed at analysing the proteome change upon CAMKK2 inhibition in gastric cancer cells using LC-MS/MS based quantitative proteomic approach. A TMT based quantitative approach was used to identify the significantly altered proteins upon CAMKK2 inhibition. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and pathway analysis was done for the significantly altered proteins and was later validated by immunoblotting.
