Expression profiling of 5 novel breast cancer cell lines

ABSTRACT: The Fra-1 transcription factor promotes tumor cell growth, invasion and metastasis. While characterizing five breast cancer cell lines derived from primary human breast tumors, we identified BRC-31 as a novel basal-like cell model that expresses elevated Fra-1 levels. BRC-31 cells display elevated FAK, SRC and ERK2 phosphorylation relative to luminal breast cancer models. Inhibition of this signaling axis, through the use of pharmacological inhibitors, reduces the phosphorylation and stabilization of Fra-1. Elevated integrin αVβ3 expression in these cells suggested that integrin receptors might activate this FAK-SRC-ERK2 signaling axis to enhance Fra-1 phosphorylation. These cells also express high levels of uPAR, a GPI-anchored receptor that has been shown to enhance integrin-mediated signaling initiated by Vitronectin engagement. Transient knockdown of uPAR in BRC31 cells grown on Vitronectin reduces Fra-1 phosphorylation and stabilization and uPAR and Fra-1 are required for Vitronectin-induced cell invasion. In clinical samples, a molecular component signature consisting of Vitronectin-uPAR-uPA-Fra-1 predicts poor overall survival in patients with breast cancer and correlates with a Fra-1 transcriptional signature. Taken together, we have identified a novel-signaling axis that leads to phosphorylation and stabilization of Fra-1, a transcription factor that is emerging as an important modulator of breast cancer progression and metastasis.

RNA sequencing in ovarian cancer cell line HEYA8 in terms of ECM1 silencing and reintroduction of ECM1 subtypes ECM1a and ECM1b

Project description:Extracellular Matrix Protein-1 (ECM1) promotes tumorigenesis in multiple organs, but the mechanisms associated with the functions and putative receptors of ECM1 subtypes have yet to be systematically clarified. We found in this study that secretory ECM1a functions as an oncoprotein to induce tumorigenesis through binding of the Gly-Pro-Arg (GPR) motif to integrin aXb2 and activation of AKT/FAK/Rho/cytoskeletal signaling. Nonsecretory ECM1b binds to myosin to block myosin phosphorylation, thus preventing cytoskeletal signaling activation and tumorigenesis. Based on RNA sequencing, we further found that the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L-like (hnRNPLL) protein induced by ECM1a favors the alternative mRNA splicing of ECM1a to control ECM1-associated signaling and tumorigenesis. ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 1 (ABCG1) transduces ECM1a-integrin aXb2 interactive signaling to facilitate the phosphorylation of AKT/FAK/Rho/cytoskeletal molecules and to confer cisplatin resistance in cancer cells through upregulation of CD326-mediated cell stemness.

Vasopressin V2 Receptor, Tolvaptan, and ERK1/2 Phosphorylation in the Renal Collecting Duct II

Project description:Activation of ERK1 and ERK2 is essential in regulation of a wide variety of cellular and physiological processes. In native inner medullary collecting ducts, vasopressin (AVP) working through the V2 subtype vasopressin receptor (V2R)-mediated activation of Gαs, inhibits ERK1 and ERK2 activity. However, it has been reported that V2R can signal independently of Gαs through the activation of β-arrestin, which activates ERK1 and ERK2. Vaptans, V2R antagonists that function as so-called “inverse agonists”, have the potential of promoting cell proliferation via β-arrestin-dependent ERK activation. Here we use the mpkCCD cell line which natively expresses V2R to investigate the effects of AVP, the V2-selective analog dDAVP, and tolvaptan on ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation and activation. We demonstrated that ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation in mpkCCD cells was significantly reduced by either AVP or dDAVP, in contrast to the increases seen in non-collecting duct cells overexpressing V2R. We also found that tolvaptan has a strong effect to increase ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation in the presence of dDAVP and that the tolvaptan effect to increase ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation is absent in PKA-null mpkCCD cells. Thus, it appears that the tolvaptan effect to increase ERK activation is PKA-dependent and, therefore, not mediated by the β-arrestin pathway. Overall, the studies show that AVP decreases and that tolvaptan increases ERK1 and ERK2 activation in cells expressing V2R at endogenous levels, and provide no evidence for a role for β-arrestin in the regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 activity.

Proteomic analysis of integrin-associated adhesion complexes isolated from cells treated with DMSO or FAK inhibitor

Project description:Human foreskin fibroblast cells were spread on fibronectin (FN) for 1 h and treated with DMSO or FAK inhibitor (3 uM, AZ13256675 (termed AZ675 for short)) for 1 h. Integrin-associated adhesion complexes isolated from these cells were analysed by mass spectrometry to determine changes in adhesion complex composition upon FAK inhibition. As a negative control, complexes were also isolated from cells attached to transferrin (Tf), which allows integrin-independent adhesion via the transferrin receptor.

Blocking Fra-1 sensitizes triple-negative breast cancer to olaparib

Project description:Fra-1 (FOSL1) is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Fra-1 is a member of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor complex, which plays crucial roles in tumor progression and treatment resistance. We have previously identified 118 proteins that interact with endogenous chromatin-bound Fra-1 in TNBC cells in a large screen, and these included PARP1(Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1). PARP1 inhibitor olaparib is currently in clinical use for treatment of BRCA-mutated TNBC breast cancer. Here, we demonstrate that this interaction impacts the efficacy of olaparib treatment. We corroborate that PARP1 interacts with Fra-1, and we show that PARP1 downregulates Fra-1 and consequently reduces AP-1 transcriptional activity. Inhibition of PARP1, on the other hand, increases Fra-1 levels and enhances its transcriptional activity, which in turn can increase treatment resistance. However, by inhibiting Fra-1, we found that TNBC cells became sensitized to olaparib treatment. We compared Fra-1 chromatin binding sites with the Fra-1 and PARP1 regulated transcriptomes, and found that a large fraction of PARP1-regulated genes was dependent on Fra-1. We further show that PARP1 protein levels significantly correlate with Fra-1 in clinical breast cancer tumors, and we identify that high PARP1 expression is indicative of a poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients overall, but not in basal-like tumors. In conclusion, by exploring the functionality of the Fra-1 and PARP1 interaction, we propose that targeting Fra-1 could serve as a therapeutic approach to improve olaparib treatment outcome for TNBC patients.

Antibody-drug conjugate αEGFR-E-P125A reduces triple-negative breast cancer vasculogenic mimicry, motility, and metastasis through inhibition of EGFR, integrin, and FAK/STAT3 signaling

Project description:Primary tumor growth and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) require supporting vasculature, which develop through a combination of endothelial angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry (VM), a process associated with aggressive metastatic behavior in which vascular-like structures are lined by tumor cells. We developed αEGFR-E-P125A, an antibody-endostatin fusion protein that delivers a dimeric, mutant endostatin (E-P125A) payload that inhibits TNBC angiogenesis and VM in vitro and in vivo. To characterize the mechanisms associated with induction and inhibition of VM, RNA-seq of MDA-MB-231-4175 TNBC cells grown in a monolayer (2D) was compared to cells plated on Matrigel undergoing VM (3D). We then compared RNA-seq between TNBC cells in 3D and cells in 3D with VM inhibited by αEGFR-E-P125A (αEGFR-E-P125A). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) demonstrated that VM induction activated the IL6-JAK-STAT3 and angiogenesis pathways, which were downregulated by αEGFR-E-P125A treatment. Correlative analysis of the phospho-proteome demonstrated decreased EGFR phosphorylation at Y1069, along with decreased phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) Y397 and STAT3 Y705 sites downstream of α5β1 integrin. Suppression of phosphorylation events downstream of EGFR and α5β1 integrin demonstrated that αEGFR-E-P125A interferes with ligand-receptor activation, inhibits VM, and overcomes oncogenic signaling associated with EGFR and α5β1 integrin crosstalk. In vivo, αEGFR-E-P125A treatment decreased primary tumor growth and VM, reduced lung metastasis, and confirmed the inhibition of signaling events observed in vitro. Simultaneous inhibition of EGFR and α5β1 integrin signaling by αEGFR-E-P125A is a promising strategy for the inhibition of VM, tumor growth, motility, and metastasis in TNBC and other EGFR-overexpressing tumors.

Endogenous interaction profiling identifies DDX5 as an oncogenic coactivator of transcription factor Fra-1

Project description:Fra-1, a member of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family, is overexpressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and plays crucial roles in tumor growth. Here we report the identification of 118 proteins interacting with endogenous chromatin-bound Fra-1 in TNBC cells, highlighting DDX5 as the most enriched Fra-1-interacting protein. DDX5, a previously unrecognized protein in the Fra-1 transcriptional network, shows extensive overlap with Fra-1 cistrome and transcriptome that are highly associated with the TNBC cell growth. We provide evidence that DDX5 expression enhances Fra-1 transcriptional activity and potentiates Fra-1-driven cell proliferation. Furthermore, we show that the DDX5 target gene signature predicts poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients. DDX5 protein level was higher in triple-negative basal-like tumors than in non-basal-like tumors, including luminal A, luminal B, and HER2-enriched subtypes. Collectively, by combining proteomic and genomic approaches we reveal a role for DDX5 as a regulatory protein of Fra-1 signaling and suggest DDX5 as a potential therapeutic target for TNBC.
