Flotillin-1 palmitoylation is essential for its stability and subsequent tumor promoting capabilities.

ABSTRACT: Flotillin-1 contributes to invasion and metastasis in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Palmitoylation, the process of conjugating palmitoyl-CoA to proteins, plays an essential role in protein stability and trafficking. Flotillin-1 is modified by palmitoylation, however, the role of its palmitoylation in the context of metastasis has not been explored. Using palmitoylation defective flotillin-1 constructs, we have demonstrated that flotillin-1 palmitoylation contributes to its stability and metastatic capabilities in vivo. Further investigation led to the identification of zDHHC5 as the main palmitoyl acyl transferase responsible for palmitoylating flotillin-1, which also contributed to its stability by preventing its poly-ubiquitylation. To assess the ability to target flotillin-1 palmitoylation therapeutically, we designed a competitive peptide, which displayed efficacy in blocking flotillin-1 palmitoylation in vitro without altering palmitoylation of other zDHHC5 substrates, highlighting its specificity. Additionally, multiple TNBC tumor models expressing a doxycycline inducible flotillin-1 palmitoylation inhibiting peptide construct displayed attenuated tumor growth and lung metastasis. The current study has demonstrated the palmitoylation of flotillin-1, a known metastasis inducing protein, to be essential for its protein stability. The demonstrated methods in blocking its palmitoylation through the delivery of a competitive peptide provide proof-of-concept data for further development as a potential targeted therapeutic in TNBC.

Targeting the SIN3A-PF1 Interaction inhibits Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition and Maintenance of a Stem Cell Phenotype in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (Expression)

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by a poorly differentiated phenotype and limited treatment options. Aberrant epigenetics in this subtype represent a potential therapeutic opportunity, but a better understanding of the mechanisms contributing to the TNBC pathogenesis is required. The SIN3 molecular scaffold performs a critical role in multiple cellular processes, including epigenetic regulation, and has been identified as a potential therapeutic target. Using a competitive peptide corresponding to the SIN3 interaction domain of MAD (Tat-SID), we investigated the functional consequences of selectively blocking the paired amphipathic helix (PAH2) domain of SIN3. Here, we report the identification of the SID-containing adaptor PF1 as a factor required for maintenance of the TNBC stem cell phenotype and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). Tat-SID peptide blocked the interaction between SIN3A and PF1, leading to epigenetic modulation and transcriptional downregulation of TNBC stem cell and EMT markers. Importantly, Tat-SID treatment led to a reduction in primary tumor growth and disseminated metastatic disease in vivo. In support of these findings, knockdown of PF1 expression phenocopied treatment with Tat-SID both in vitro and in vivo. These results demonstrate a critical role for a complex containing SIN3A and PF1 in TNBC and provide a rational for its therapeutic targeting. Sub-confluent cultures of MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 1ÂµM Tat-SID peptide or 1ÂµM Tat-Scr scrambled control peptide for 24hr.

A novel DHHC5/Golga7b palmitoyl-transferase complex regulates desmosome assembly and cell adhesion.

Project description:Protein S-acylation, also known as palmitoylation, is the only fully reversible lipid post-translational modification of proteins however little is known about how the enzymes which mediate this modification are regulated and which cellular processes they control. DHHC5 is a plasma membrane localised palmitoyl acyltransferase (PAT) with important roles in the regulation of synaptic plasticity, massive palmitoylation-dependent endocytosis and cancer cell growth and invasion. Here we show that stabilisation of DHHC5 at the plasma membrane requires binding to and palmitoylation of an accessory protein Golga7b and that this interaction requires the palmitoylation of the C-terminal tail of DHHC5. We also found that blocking internalisation of DHHC5 from the plasma membrane is controlled by AP2-mediated clathrin endocytosis and that blocking this process traps DHHC5 at the plasma membrane. Affinity purification and mass spectrometry analysis of DHHC5-associated protein complexes uncovered a role for DHHC5 in demosomal formation and cell adhesion. We identified desmoglein-2 as a novel DHHC5 substrate and have demonstrated that DHHC5 is required for trafficking of desmoglein-2 to the plasma membrane and proper desmosomal patterning. This work has uncovered a novel mechanism of DHHC5 regulation by Golga7b and demonstrates a role for DHHC5 in the regulation of cell adhesion.

RAGE Inhibitor TTP488 (Azeliragon) Reduces Metastasis in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Project description:We tested the preclinical efficacy of two small molecule RAGE inhibitors (TTP488 (Azeliragon) and FPS-ZM1) against TNBC metastasis in the orthotopic xenograft MDA-MB-231/4175 - NSG model. Both TTP488 and FPS-ZM1 impaired TNBC metastasis in this lung metastatic breast cancer model, with TTP488 affecting metastasis to a greater degree than FPS-ZM1. Transcriptomic analysis of the primary tumors revealed that TTP488 and FPS-ZM1 displayed high concordance in gene expression changes affecting metastatic pathways.

ChIP-sequencing of STAT3 in Zdhhc5 knockout oligodendrocytes

Project description:Myelin sheath is an important structure to maintain normal functions of the nerves in central nervous system. Protein palmitoylation has been established as a sorting determinant for the transport of myelin-forming proteins to the myelin membrane. However, its function in the regulation of oligodendrocyte development remains unknown. Here, we show that an Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) motif-containing palmitoyl acyltransferases, DHHC5, is involved in the control of oligodendrocyte development. Loss of Zdhhc5 in oligodendrocytes inhibits myelination and remyelination by a reduction on total myelinating oligodendrocyte population. STAT3 is the primary substrate for DHHC5 palmitoylation in oligodendrocytes. Zdhhc5 ablation reduces STAT3 palmitoylation, and then suppresses STAT3 phosphorylation and activation. As a result of the decreased STAT3 transactivity, the transcription of the myelin-related and anti-apoptosis genes is therefore inhibited, leading to suppressed oligodendrocyte development and myelination. Our findings demonstrate the key role DHHC5 in the control of myelinogenesis.

A palmitoylation-depalmitoylation relay spatiotemporally controls GSDMD activation in pyroptosis [II]

Project description:Gasdermin D (GSDMD) is the executioner of pyroptosis, which is important for host defense against pathogen infection. After activation, caspase-mediated cleavage of GSDMD liberates an N-terminal fragment (GSDMD-NT), which oligomerizes and forms pores in the plasma membrane, leading to cell death and subsequent release of proinflammatory cytokines. How this process is spatiotemporally controlled to promote pyroptosis in cells has been a fundamental, unaddressed question. Here, we identify GSDMD as a substrate for reversible S-palmitoylation on cysteine 192 (Cys192) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. We found that the palmitoyl acyltransferase DHHC7palmitoylates GSDMD to direct its cleavage by caspases in pyroptosis by promoting the interaction of GSDMD and caspases. We further show that after GSDMD cleavage, palmitoylation of GSDMD-NTpromotes its plasma membrane translocation and binding, and then acyl protein thioesterase 2 (APT2) depalmitoylates GSDMD-NT to unmask the Cys192 residue to promote oxidation-mediated oligomerization and pyroptosis. Perturbation of either palmitoylation or depalmitoylation suppresses pyroptosis, extends the survival of mice from LPS-induced lethal septic shock and sensitizes mice to bacterial infection. Thus. our findings reveal a model through which a palmitoylation-depalmitoylationrelay spatially and temporally controls GSDMD activation in pyroptosis.
