AKAP2 coordinates a focal adhesion signaling scaffold to promote growth and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer

ABSTRACT: A Kinase Anchoring Proteins (AKAPs) that coordinate spatiotemporal signaling are increasingly implicated in cancer. Elevated AKAP2 protein correlates with an invasive phenotype in triple-negative breast cancer cell lines. A combination of biochemical, cellular, and omics approaches show that AKAP2 cytoskeleton and focal adhesion associated scaffolds contribute to the progression of basal-like triple-negative breast cancer. Proximity proteomics identifies AKAP2 as an element of focal adhesions in MDA-MB-231 cells. Molecular and immunofluorescent microscopy studies demonstrate that AKAP2 indirectly constrains focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Gene silencing of AKAP2 not only decreases FAK levels but also attenuates the phosphorylation of the cell motility adapter protein paxillin on Tyr118. Cell-derived xenograft studies in mice establish that AKAP2 is required for triple-negative breast cancer growth and metastasis, phenotypes that are linked to FAK action. These findings discover a new role for focal adhesion-associated AKAP2 in triple-negative breast cancer pathology.

siRNA profiling if human MCF-7 cell line to investigate the role of FAK, dominant-negative FAK, FAK-CD and FAKsiRNA in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell tumorigenesis

Project description:Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that plays an important role in proliferation, motility, adhesion, invasion, angiogenesis, and survival signaling. Focal adhesion kinase has been shown to be overexpressed in many types of tumors, including breast cancer at early stages of tumorigenesis. To study the biological role of FAK in breast tumorigenesis, we used FAKsiRNA to down-regulate FAK in MCF-7 cell lines. Experiment Overall Design: Eight samples were analyzed in MCF-7, MCF-7-Vector, MCF-7 control (luciferase) siRNA and FAKsiRNA#1, FAKsiRNA#2

Gene expression data from mouse squamous cell carcinoma cells

Project description:We describe a function of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in driving anti-tumor immune evasion. The kinase activity of nuclear-targeted FAK in squamous cancer cells drives exhaustion of CD8+ T-cells and recruitment of regulatory T-cells by transcriptionally regulating chemokine/cytokine and ligand-receptor networks, including transcription of Ccl5 that is crucial. These changes inhibit antigen-primed cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell activity, permitting growth of FAK-expressing tumors. To address how FAK activity in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cancer cells promotes elevated intra-tumoral regulatory T-cells, we analyzed global transcriptional profiles of SCC cells expressing or not expressing FAK.

Effect of norepinephrine and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) knockdown in prostate cancer

Project description:Chronic stress is associated with hormonal alterations that are known to promote cancer progression. The stress hormone norepinephrine promotes migration and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase which is phosphorylated during chronic stress or norepinephrine treatment. Here, we investigated how norepinephrine modulates the gene expression in Myc-CaP prostate cancer cell line. We also focused on the effect of FAK knockdown in norepinephrine-induced changes of the gene expression profile.

CCM3 is a gatekeeper in focal adhesions regulating mechanotransduction and YAP/TAZ signalling

Project description:We report that loss of CCM3/PDCD10 in fibroblasts induces FAK/Src-paxillin signalling driving actomyosin-dependent mechanotransduction leading to YAP/TAZ signalling. In vivo, loss of CCM3 in fibroblasts drives excessive tissue remodelling leading to the dissemination of breast cancer cells to distant organs.

MiR-19a/miR-96-mediated low expression of KIF26A suppresses metastasis by regulating FAK pathway in gastric cancer

Project description:Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant neoplasms. Invasion and metastasis are the main causes of GC-related deaths. Recently, kinesins were discovered to be involved in tumor development. The aim of this study was to elucidate the roles of kinesin superfamily protein 26A (KIF26A) in GC and its underlying molecular mechanism in regulating tumor invasion and metastasis. Using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), we showed that KIF26A expression was lower in GC tissues without lymph node metastasis (LNM) than in nontumorous gastric mucosa, and even lower in GC tissues with LNM than in GC tissues without LNM. Functional experiments showed that KIF26A inhibited migration and invasion of GC cells. We further identifified focal-adhesion kinase (FAK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit alpha (PI3KR1), VAV3, Rac1 and p21-activated kinase 2, and β-PAK (PAK3) as downstream effectors of KIF26A in the focal-adhesion pathway, and we found that KIF26A could regulate FAK mRNA expression through inhibiting c-MYC by MAPK pathway. c-MYC could bind to the promoter of FAK and activate FAK transcription. Moreover, we found that KIF26A mediated inactivation of the focal-adhesion pathway could reduce the occurrence of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by increasing expression of E-cadherin and reducing that of Snail. Luciferase assays and Western blotting revealed that miR-19a and miR-96 negatively regulate KIF26A. Finally, we found that decreased expression of KIF26A has been positively correlated with histological differentiation, Lauren classifification, LNM, distal metastasis, and clinical stage, as well as poor survival in patients with GC. These data indicate that KIF26A could inhibit GC migration and invasion by regulating the focal adhesion pathway and repressing the occurrence of EMT.

Obesity promotes urinary tract infection by disrupting urothelial immune defenses

Project description:Obesity is a significant public health concern associated with increased infection risk, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Using a diet induced obesity mouse model, we investigate how obesity impacts urinary tract infection (UTI) susceptibility and bladder urothelial defenses. High fat diet-fed female and male C57BL/6 mice exhibit increased susceptibility to uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) following experimental UTI. Transcriptomic analysis of bladder urothelial cells reveals sex-specific gene expression changes, but both sexes share activation of focal adhesion and extracellular matrix signaling. Western blot and immunostaining confirm activation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a central component of the focal adhesion pathway, in the bladders of obese female and male mice. Mechanistically, primary human urothelial cells overexpressing FAK exhibit increased UPEC invasion. These findings demonstrate that obesity enhances UTI susceptibility and identify FAK as a conserved pathway disrupted by obesity, contributing to increased UPEC vulnerability.
