Project description:Squamous cell carcinoma is a major type of cancer in the lung. While several therapeutic target molecules for lung adenocarcinoma have been identified, little is known about lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We recently reported that CD271 (p75 neurotrophin receptor) serves as a marker for tumor initiation and is a key regulator of cell proliferation in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, we found that CD271 was also expressed in squamous cell carcinoma, but not in adenocarcinoma, of several tissues, including the lung. To examine CD271’s role in LSCC, we established xenograft cell lines from LSCC patients. Within the sorted live LSCC cell population, the CD271high cells were primarily cycling through the G2/M phase, while the CD271low cells were mostly in the G0 phase. CD271 knockdown in the LSCC cells completely suppressed their proliferation and tumor-formation capability, and increased their cell-cycle arrest in the G0 phase. In the CD271-knockdown cells, ERK-phosphorylation was decreased, while no change was observed in the IκBα-, p65-, or Akt-phosphorylation. Treatment with the MEK inhibitor U0126 decreased the LSCC cells’ proliferation capability. Microarray analysis revealed that CD271 knockdown attenuated the RAS-related pathways. The knockdown of TrkB, which forms a heterodimer with CD271 and accelerates its downstream signaling, partially inhibited the LSCC cell proliferation. These results indicated that LSCC exclusively depends on CD271 for cell proliferation, in part through ERK-signaling activation.

Project description:Background: Large-scale genomic analyses of patient cohorts have revealed extensive heterogeneity between individual tumors, contributing to treatment failure and drug resistance. In malignant melanoma, heterogeneity is thought to arise as a consequence of the differentiation of melanoma-initiating cells that are defined by cell-surface markers like CD271 or CD133. Results: Here we identified the nerve growth factor receptor (CD271) as a crucial determinant of melanoma cell tumorigenicity, stem-like properties, heterogeneity and plasticity. Stable shRNA mediated knock-down of CD271 in patient-derived melanoma cells abrogated their tumor-initiating and colony-forming capacity. A genome-wide expression profiling and gene-set enrichment analysis revealed novel connections of CD271 with melanoma-associated genes like CD133 and points to a neural crest stem cell (NCSC) signature lost upon CD271 knock-down. In a meta-analysis, we found CD271 linked to the neural crest specifier SOX10 and observed a shared set of 271 differentially regulated genes. To dissect the connection of CD271 and CD133 we analyzed 10 patient-derived melanoma-cell lines for cell-surface expression of both markers compared to established cell lines MeWo and A375. We found CD271+ cells in the majority of cell lines analyzed as well as in a set of 16 different patient-derived melanoma metastases. Strikingly, only 2/12 cell lines harbored a CD133+ sub-set that in addition comprised a fraction of cells of a CD271+/CD133+ phenotype. Those cells were found in the label-retaining fraction and in vitro deduced from CD271+ but not CD271 knock-down cells. Conclusions: Our present study provides a deeper insight into the regulation of melanoma cell properties and points CD271 out as a regulator of several melanoma-associated genes. Further, our data strongly suggest CD271 is a crucial determinant of stem-like properties of melanoma cells like colony-formation and tumorigenicity. For knock-down of CD271 (NGFR), melanoma cells were transfected with 2 M-BM-5g of each shRNA plasmid; #2: 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-ACAACCTCATCCCTGTCTATT-3M-bM-^@M-^Y; #3: 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-CCCGAGCACATAGA CTCCTTT-3M-bM-^@M-^Y and #4: 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-CCGAGCACATAGACTCCTTTA-3M-bM-^@M-^Y or control shRNA (shCtl 5M-bM-^@M-^Y-GGAATCTCATTCGATGCATAC-3M-bM-^@M-^Y; all from Quiagen) using Lipofectamine2000 (Invitrogen). Cells were selected with puromycin (10M-BM-5g/ ml) over a period of two weeks. Whole genome expression profiling of CD271k.d. cells (shRNA#4) and shCtl. cells was performed with three biological replicates. Illumina raw data of BeadChip HumanHT-12V4 platform were summarized via the BeadStudio without normalization and background correction. Follow-up processing was done via the R/Bioconductor environment employing packages lumi, limma and q-value. Data were normalized with quantile normalization. Genes were termed significantly differentially expressed when the average detection p-value of at least one case was < 0.05 the ratio was outside the interval [0.75,1.33], one of the p-values from limma test, Student's t-test, Welch test and Wilcoxon test was < 0.05. At least one of the q-values corresponding to one of these tests < 0.05.

Project description:The extensive heterogeneity both between and within the medulloblastoma (MB) subgroups underscores a critical need for variant-specific biomarkers and therapeutic strategies. We previously identified a role for the CD271/p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in regulating stem/progenitor cells in the SHH MB subgroup. Here, we demonstrate the utility of CD271 as a novel diagnostic and prognostic marker for SHH MB using immunohistochemical analysis as well as transcriptome data across 763 primary tumors. Characterization of CD271+ and CD271- cells by RNA sequencing revealed that these two subpopulations are molecularly distinct, co-existing cellular subsets both in vitro and in vivo. MAPK/ERK signaling is upregulated in the CD271+ population and inhibiting this pathway reduced CD271 levels, stem/progenitor cell proliferation and cell survival as well as cell migration in vitro. Importantly, the MEK inhibitor selumetinib extends survival and reduces CD271 levels in vivo. Our study demonstrates the clinical utility of CD271 as both a diagnostic and prognostic tool for SHH MB tumors and reveals a novel role for MEK inhibitors in targeting CD271+ SHH MB cells.

Stable overexpression of NGFR (CD271): Generation of cell lines stably overexpressing CD271 (NGFR), melanoma cells were transfected with 2 µg of a plasmid expressing GFP-tagged human NGFR (RG207966, OriGene) and selected with G418 (100-300 µg/ml, PAA) over a period of two weeks followed by sub-cloning or FACS. Gene expression profiling: Whole genome expression profiling of T20/02 and A375 cells (NGFR) and control cells (Mock or GFP) was performed with three biological replicates.
