Resistance to Radiation Enhances Metastasis by Altering RNA Metabolism

ABSTRACT: The cellular programs that mediate therapy resistance are often important drivers of metastasis, a phenomenon that needs to be understood better to improve screening and treatment options for cancer patients. Although this issue has been studied extensively for chemotherapy, less is known about a causal link between resistance to radiation therapy and metastasis. We investigated this problem in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and established that radiation resistant tumor cells have enhanced metastatic capacity, especially to bone. Resistance to radiation increases the expression of integrin b3 (ITGb3), which promotes enhanced migration and invasion. Bioinformatic analysis and subsequent experimentation revealed an enrichment of RNA metabolism pathways that stabilize ITGb3 transcripts. Specifically, the RNA binding protein heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L (HNRNPL), whose expression is regulated by Nrf2, mediates the formation of circular RNAs (circRNAs) that function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) for the family of let-7 microRNAs that target ITGb3. Collectively, our findings identify a novel mechanism of radiation-induced metastasis that is driven by alterations in RNA metabolism.

Effect of depletion of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIFs) on gene expression in MDA231-BrM2 breast cancer brain-selective metastatic cells with RNA-Seq.

Project description:Brain metastasis is a major cause of breast cancer mortality, but the molecular basis and pathological mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we determined that integrin β3 (ITGB3) expression mediated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) plays a critical role in brain metastasis of breast cancer. Hypoxia induces HIF-1-dependent expression of ITGb3, which is required for breast cancer cell migration and invasion. Knockdown of HIF-1a or ITGB3 expression impairs the colonization of breast cancer cells to brain after injection into the cardiac left ventricle. Mechanistically, ITGB3 protein expressed by breast cancer cells was incorporated into extracellular vesicles (EVs). The ITGb3+ EVs associated with brain endothelial cells, activated vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 signaling, and increased endothelial permeability to facilitate metastatic colonization of the brain.

Connecting extracellular vesicle uptake and exosome biogenesis: intercellular communication in breast cancer cells is ITGB3-dependent

Project description:Metastasis, the spread of malignant cells from the primary tumour to distant sites is in 90% of the cases, the ultimate cause cancer related death. The integrin ITGB3 has been previously described to play an essential role in breast cancer metastasis, but the precise mechanisms remain undefined. We have now uncovered essential and thus far unknown roles of ITGB3 in vesicle uptake and exosome biogenesis. The functional requirement on ITGB3 is founded in its described interactions with heparan sulphated glyco-proteins (HSPGs) and the process of integrin recycling, allowing the capture of extracellular vesicles and their endocytosis-mediated internalisation. Key for the function of ITGB3 is the interaction and activation of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which is required for endocytosis of this vesicles and the entry of the endocytosis derived early endosomes into the exosome biogenesis pathway. Thus, ITGB3 has a central role in intracellular communication via extracellular vesicles, proposed to be critical for cancer metastasis.

High expression of KLK5 enhances radiation resistance of cervical cancer

Project description:Studies have demonstrated the correlation between kallikrein-related peptidase 5 (KLK5) and cervical cancer prognosis, but studies on the correlation between KLK5 and radiation resistance are rare. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of high KLK5 expression in improving radiation resistance in cervical cancer and the underlying mechanisms. Samples from 29 patients with cervical cancer who received definitive radiotherapy without surgical treatment and other antineoplastic treatments (2014–2016) were analyzed. The patients were divided into the radiotherapy-sensitive (RS) group (18 patients without local recurrence and distant metastasis within 3 years after initial treatment) and the radiotherapy-resistant (RR) group (11 patients with uncontrolled conditions with radiotherapy, local recurrence, or distant metastasis within 3 years after initial treatment). We used high-throughput gene sequencing to detect radiosensitivity-related factors. We found that the expression of KLK5 in the RR group was higher than that in the RS group, and this result was associated with poor outcomes after radiotherapy as patients developed distant metastasis and showed recurrence at 2–3 years of follow-up. Besides, a high KLK5 expression enhances radiation resistance, indicating that, with further research, KLK5 may be used to develop novel molecular target-specific modulators for anti-cervical cancer therapy, acting as a prognostic agent in personalized precision medicine for cancer.

In Vivo RNA Interference Screening Identifies a Leukemia-Specific Dependence on Integrin Beta 3 Signaling

Project description:Primary leukemia stem cells (LSCs) reside in an in vivo microenvironment that supports the growth and survival of malignant cells. We used an in vivo short hairpin RNA (shRNA) screening approach to identify novel genes that are essential for primary murine MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We found that Integrin Beta 3 (Itgb3) is selectively essential for murine leukemia cells in vivo, and for human leukemia cells in xenotransplantation studies. In leukemia cells, Itgb3 knockdown impaired homing, downregulated LSC transcriptional programs, and induced differentiation. In contrast, loss of Itgb3 in normal HSPCs did not affect engraftment, reconstitution, or differentiation in long term transplantation assays. We explored the signaling pathways downstream of Itgb3 using an additional in vivo shRNA screen and identified Syk as a critical mediator of Itgb3 activity in leukemia. Finally, we confirmed that Itgb3 is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis and required for leukemogenesis using the Itgb3 knockout mouse model. Our results establish the significance of the Itgb3 signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target in AML, and demonstrate the utility of in vivo RNA interference screens. We examined the effect of Itgb3 knockdown by gene expression profiling in primary leukemia cells.

Time course of TGFbeta induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) in H358 NSCLC cells.

Project description:The capacity of cancer cells to undergo epithelial mesenchymal trans-differentiation has been implicated as a factor driving metastasis, through the acquisition of enhanced migratory/invasive cell programs and the engagement of anti-apoptotic mechanisms promoting drug and radiation resistance. Our aim was to define molecular signaling changes associated with mesenchymal trans-differentiation in two KRas mutant NSCLC models. We focused on central transcription and epigenetic regulators predicted to be important for mesenchymal cell survival.
