SNAI1 ablation alters integrin-mediated adhesion and endocytic fate

ABSTRACT: Transcription factor SNAI1 guides plasticity and invasiveness in cancer. Using a complete SNAI1 knockout in mesenchymal, triple-negative breast cancer cells, unbiased genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed a marked under-expression of integrin-based adhesion and endocytic components. Utilizing this knockout cell model, complementary breast cancer cell models and functional screening of multiple differentially expressed genes, we found that the pioneering transcription factor FOXA1, whose expression is repressed by SNAI1, associates with several key mediators of the cellular phenotype. FOXA1 represses the small GTPase ARF6 and its exchange factor PSD4, in addition to integrin and matrix metalloprotease genes. Accordingly, SNAI1 knockout cells presented poor adhesion to collagen type I or fibronectin, formed defective invadopodia and focal adhesions with weakened FAK/SRC signaling. SNAI1 knockout cells performed ineffective receptor-mediated internalization, including nanoparticle and extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake, exhibited reduced lysosomal content, lacked multivesicular bodies enriched in intraluminal vesicles and showed decreased EV secretion. Gain-of-function experiments demonstrated that SNAI1 has an impact on the PSD4/ARF6 signaling module, using FOXA1 as an intermediate factor to regulate EV release by tumor cells. We propose that the SNAI1-FOXA1 transcriptional mechanism operates at the level of membrane and vesicular trafficking control, which interlinks cell plasticity, adhesion and invasiveness through the extracellular environment, with the associated process of EV secretion.

Loss of SNAI1 induces cellular plasticity in invasive triple-negative breast cancer cells

Project description:To investigate the effect of SNAI1 Knockout on development and growth of triple-negative human breast cancer cells The transcription factor SNAI1 mediates epithelial-mesenchymal transition, fibroblast activation and controls inter-tissue migration. High SNAI1 expression characterizes metastatic triple-negative breast carcinomas, and its knockout by CRISPR/Cas9 uncovered establishment of an epithelio-mesenchymal phenotype accompanied by reduced signaling by the cytokine TGF-β. The SNAI1 knockout cells exhibited plasticity in differentiation, drifting towards the luminal phenotype, gained stemness potential and could differentiate into acinar mammospheres in 3D culture. Loss of SNAI1 derepressed the transcription factor FOXA1, a pioneering factor of mammary luminal progenitors. FOXA1 induced a specific gene program, including the androgen receptor (AR). Inhibiting AR via a specific antagonist regenerated the basal phenotype and blocked acinar differentiation. Thus, loss of SNAI1 in the context of triple-negative breast carcinoma cells promotes an intermediary luminal progenitor phenotype that gains differentiation plasticity, based on the dual transcriptional action of FOXA1 and AR. This function of SNAI1 provides means to separate cell invasiveness from progenitor cell de-differentiation as independent cellular programs.

Arf6 regulation of glycolytic metabolism and effector functions in neutrophils

Project description:Arf6 is a small GTPase regulating many cellular processes including cytoskeletal remodeling, receptor endocytosis, and phagocytosis of pathogens. Arf6 knockdown in neutrophil (PMN)-like cells was reported to inhibit chemotactic peptide-mediated activation of phospholipase D, the oxidative burst, and 2 integrin-dependent adhesion. In mice, the migration of PMNs knock out for Arf6 to the site of inflammation was diminished and associated with reduced cell surface expression of 2 integrins. Conditional knockout mice lacking Arf6 in PMNs were used to assess the impact of Arf6 depletion on the functions and gene expression profile of PMNs isolated from the mouse air pouch injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The expression of several genes was modulated in PMNs-Arf6 cKO with Lpar6 and Lacc-1 being the most up-regulated and down-regulated genes, respectively. Decreased expressed of Lacc-1 was validated at the protein level in PMN-Arf6 cKO, and silencing of Arf6 in THP-1 monocytic cells delayed LPS-mediated Lacc-1 expression. Here we report that fMLP or zymosan-induced glycolysis and oxygen consumption rate were decreased in air pouch PMNs but not in BM PMNs of Arf6 cKO mice when compared to control floxed cells. Reduced oxygen consumption correlated with decreased production of superoxide and ROS. Depletion of Arf6 in mouse PMNs also reduced phagocytosis and interfered apoptosis. The data suggest that Arf6 regulates energy metabolism, which may contribute to impaired phagocytosis, ROS production, and apoptosis in PMN-Arf6 cKO. This study provides new information on the functions and the inflammatory pathways influenced by Arf6 in PMNs.

Expression data from control (F/F) and Snai1 knockout (KO) embryoid body (EB) and teratoma ™

Project description:Snai1 is a master factor of epithelial to mesenchymal transitioin (EMT), however, its role in embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and lineage commitment remains undefined. We used microarrays to compare the global programme of gene expression between control and Snai1 knockout ESCs-derived EB and teratoma. For EBs, control and Snai1 knockout ESCs were cultured as embryoid bodies in spotaneous differentiation media, RNA of 5 days EBs were collected for Affymetrix microarrays. For teratomas, control and Snai1 knockout ESCs were injected into nude mice to form teratomas. RNA of 6 weeks were collected for Affymetrix microarrays.

RhoC modulates cell junctions and Type I interferon response in aggressive breast cancers

Project description:Metastases are the leading cause of death in cancer patients. RhoC, a member of the Rho GTPase family, has been shown to facilitate metastasis of aggressive breast cancer cells by influencing motility, invasion, and chemokine secretion, but as yet there is no integrated model of the precise mechanism of how RhoC promotes metastasis. A common phenotypic characteristic of metastatic cells influenced by these mechanisms is dysregulation of cell-cell junctions. Thus, we set out to study how RhoA- and RhoC-GTPase influence the cell-cell junctions in aggressive breast cancers. We demonstrate that CRISPR-Cas9 knockout of RhoC in SUM 149 and MDA 231 breast cancer cells results in increased normalization of junctional integrity denoted by junctional protein expression/colocalization. In functional assessments of junction stability, RhoC knockout cells have increased barrier integrity compared to wild-type cells as measured by the FITC-Dextran leakage assay, and increased cell-cell adhesion as measured by fluorimetric centrifugation assay. Whole transciptome RNA sequencing demonstrate decreased expression of Type I interferon-stimulated genes in RhoC knockout cells compared to wild-type, and subsequent treatment with interferon-alpha resulted in significant increases in adhesion and decreases in invasiveness of wild-type cells and a dampened response to interferon-alpha stimulation with respect to adhesion and invasiveness in RhoC knockout cells. We delineate a key role of RhoC-GTPase in modulation of junctions and response to interferon, which supports inhibition of RhoC as a potential anti-invasion therapeutic strategy.

PI3K-AKT activation resculpts integrin signaling to drive filamentous tau-induced proinflammatory astrogliosis [Tau vs OPN]

Project description:Microtubule-binding protein tau is a misfolding-prone protein associated with tauopathies. As tau undergoes cell-to-cell transmission, extracellular tau aggregates convert astrocytes into a pro- inflammatory state via integrin activation, causing them to release unknown neurotoxic factors. Here we combine transcriptomics with isotope labeling-based quantitative mass spectrometry analysis of mouse primary astrocyte secretome to establish PI3K-AKT as a critical differentiator between pathogenic and physiological integrin activation; simultaneous activation of PI3K-AKT and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in tau fibril-treated astrocytes changes the output of integrin signaling, causing pro-inflammatory gene upregulation, trans-Golgi network restructuring, and altered secretory flow. Furthermore, NCAM1, as a proximal signaling component in tau-stimulated integrin and PI3K-AKT activation, facilitates the secretion of complement C3 as a main neurotoxic factor. Significantly, tau fibrils-associated astrogliosis and C3 secretion can be mitigated by FAK or PI3K inhibitors. These findings reveal an unexpected function for PI3K-AKT in tauopathy-associated astrogliosis and a target for anti-inflammation-based Alzheimer’s therapy.
