Project description:Adenylate kinase 2 (AK2) is a wide-spread and highly conserved protein kinase whose main function is to catalyze the exchange of nucleotide phosphate groups. In this study, we showed that AK2 regulated tumor cell metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma. Positive expression of AK2 is related to lung adenocarcinoma progression and poor survival of patients. Knockdown or knockout of AK2 inhibited, while overexpression of AK2 promoted, human lung adenocarcinoma cell migration and invasion ability. Differential proteomics results showed that AK2 might be closely related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Further research indicated that AK2 regulated EMT occurrence through the Smad-dependent classical signaling pathways as measured by western blot and qPCR assays. Additionally, in vivo experiments showed that AK2-knockout in human lung tumor cells reduced their EMT-like features and formed fewer metastatic nodules both in liver and in lung tissues. In conclusion, we uncover a cancer metastasis-promoting role for AK2 and provide a rationale for targeting AK2 as a potential therapeutic approach for lung cancer.

Project description:FAT1, a protocadherin, is among the most frequently mutated genes in human cancers1-5. However, the role and the molecular mechanisms by which FAT1 mutations control tumour initiation and progression are poorly understood. In the present study we used different mouse cancer models including skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and lung tumours we found that Fat1 deletion accelerated tumour initiation and malignant progression and promoted hybrid epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype. This hybrid EMT state was also found in FAT1 mutated human SCCs. Fat1 deleted skin SCCs presented increased tumour stemness and spontaneous metastasis. Transcriptional and chromatin profiling revealed that Yap1 and Sox2 are involved in promoting and stabilizing hybrid EMT state. To unravel the molecular mechanisms by which FAT1 (a protein located on the plasma membrane), lead to the transcriptional changes, we performed phosphor-proteomic analysis of A388 FAT1 WT human SCC cell lines and A388 FAR1 CRISPR KO. This analysis revealed that FAT1 loss of function activates a CAMK2/CD44/SRC axis that promotes YAP/ZEB1 nuclear translocation and stimulates the mesenchymal state, as well as a CAMK2-EZH2 axis that promotes activation of SOX2, which sustains the epithelial state. This comprehensive analysis also identified drug resistance and vulnerabilities in FAT1 deficient tumours with important implications for cancer therapy. Altogether, our studies revealed that Fat1 loss of function promotes tumour initiation, progression, invasiveness, stemness and metastasis through the induction of a hybrid EMT state.

Project description:Time Course of TGF-beta treatment of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line on Affymetrix HG_U133_plus_2 arrays; triplicate experiments. The goal of the experiment is to profile temporal gene expression changes during TGF-beta-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). During EMT cancer cells loose their epithelial specifc proteins and gain mesenchymal proteins to acquire migratory and invasive phenotype essential for metastasis. Human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line was treated with 5 ng/mL TGF-beta for 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 72 h to induce EMT. The experiment was repeated 3 times. Samples were assayed using Affymetrix HG_U133_plus_2 arrays with 54675 probe-sets, using standard techniques. We provide the raw .CEL files and a supplementary Excel spreadsheet with log-transformed data and selected results from a statistical analysis.

The 2 h sample of the third experiment was not run on an array due to poor RNA, so that only 26 arrays were run.

Project description:Tumors and tumor surrounding tissues produce multiple growth factors that influence tumor cell behavior via different signal transduction pathways. Growth factors like transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were shown to induce proliferation, migration and invasion in different cell models. Both factors are frequently overexpressed in cancer and will often act in combination. Although both factors are being used as rational targets in clinical oncology, similarities and differences of their contributions to cancer cell migration and invasion are not fully understood. Here we compared the impact of TGFβ, EGF and the combination of both factors on A549 cells. Both factors stimulated A549 migration to a similar extent but with a different kinetic and the combination had an additive effect. While EGF-induced migration depended on activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, this pathway was dispensable for TGFβ-induced migration despite a strong activation by TGFβ. Proteome analysis revealed an overlap in expression patterns of migration-related proteins and associated gene ontology (GO) terms by TGFβ and EGF but only TGFβ induced the expression of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins like matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). EGF in contrast, made no major contribution to EMT marker expression on either the protein or the transcript level. In line with these expression patterns, EGF was unable to increase invasion of A549 cells on its own and failed to enhance TGFβ-induced invasion. Overall, these data suggest that TGFβ and EGF may partly compensate each other for stimulation of cell migration but abrogation of TGFβ signaling may be more suitable for antagonizing invasion.

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has recently been recognized as a key element of cell invasion, migration, metastasis, and drug resistance in several types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our aim was to clarify microRNA (miRNA) -related mechanisms underlying EMT followed by acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) in NSCLC. MiRNA expression profiles were examined before and after transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-M-NM-21) exposure in four human adenocarcinoma cell lines with or without EMT. Correlation between expressions of EMT-related miRNAs and resistance to EGFR-TKI gefitinib was evaluated. MiRNA array and quantitative RT-PCR revealed that TGF-M-NM-21 significantly induced overexpression of miR-134, miR-487b, and miR-655, which belong to the same cluster located on chromosome 14q32, in lung adenocarcinoma cells with EMT. MAGI2 (membrane-associated guanylate kinase, WW and PDZ domain-containing protein 2), a predicted target of these miRNAs and a scaffold protein required for PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), was diminished in A549 cells with EMT after the TGF-M-NM-21 stimulation. Overexpression of miR-134 and miR-487b promoted the EMT phenomenon and affected the drug resistance to gefitinib, whereas knockdown of these miRNAs inhibited the EMT process and reversed TGF-M-NM-21-induced resistance to gefitinib. Our study demonstrated that the miR-134/487b/655 cluster contributed to the TGF-M-NM-21-induced EMT phenomenon and affected the resistance to gefitinib by directly targeting MAGI2, whose suppression subsequently caused loss of PTEN stability in lung cancer cells. The miR-134/miR-487b/miR-655 cluster may be new therapeutic targets in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients, depending on the EMT phenomenon. miRNA expression profiles before and after TGF-M-NM-21 exposure were assessed in the four lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, A549, LC2/ad, PC3, and, PC9 by TaqMan miRNA arrays. Relative ratios of miRNAs in cells after TGF-M-NM-21 exposure were calculated when compared with the cells before TGF-M-NM-21 exposure.

Project description:Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) has been associated with cancer cell heterogeneity, plasticity and metastasis. It has been the subject of several modeling effort. This logical model of the EMT cellular network aims to assess microenvironmental signals controlling cancer-associated phenotypes amid the EMT continuum. Its outcomes relate to the qualitative degrees of cell adhesions by adherent junctions and focal adhesions, two features affected during EMT. Model attractors recover epithelial, mesenchymal and hybrid phenotypes, and simulations show that hybrid phenotypes may arise through independent molecular paths, involving stringent extrinsic signals.
Of particular interest, model predictions and their experimental validations indicated that: 1) ECM stiffening is a prerequisite for cells overactivating FAK-SRC to upregulate SNAIL1 and acquire a mesenchymal phenotype, and 2) FAK-SRC inhibition of cell-cell contacts through the Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphates kappa leads to the acquisition of a full mesenchymal rather than a hybrid phenotype.
