Project description:The Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) tumor suppressor is mutated in the vast majority of human colorectal cancers (CRC) and leads to deregulated Wnt signaling. To determine whether Apc disruption is required for tumor maintenance, we developed a mouse model of CRC whereby Apc can be conditionally suppressed using a doxycycline-regulated shRNA. Apc suppression produces adenomas in both the small intestine and colon that, in the presence of Kras and p53 mutations, can progress to invasive carcinoma. In established tumors, Apc restoration drives rapid and widespread tumor-cell differentiation and sustained regression without relapse. Tumor regression is accompanied by the re-establishment of normal crypt-villus homeostasis, such that once aberrantly proliferating cells reacquire self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capability. Our study reveals that CRC cells can revert to functioning normal cells given appropriate signals, and provide compelling in vivo validation of the Wnt pathway as a therapeutic target for treatment of CRC Analysis of RNA isolated from colon polyps that presented in shAPC or shAPC/Kras mice as compared to shRenilla (neutral) mouse colon mucosa

Project description:Expression profiling is a well established tool for the genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional activity of human neoplasia. However, the high sensitivity of this approach combined with the well-known cellular and molecular heterogeneity of cancer often result in extremely complex and extended expression signatures of difficult functional interpretation. The majority of sporadic colorectal cancer cases are triggered by mutations in the APC tumor suppressor gene leading to constitutive activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway and adenoma formation. Notwithstanding this common genetic basis, colorectal cancers are very heterogeneous in their degree of differentiation, growth rate and malignant potential. Here, we applied cross-species comparison of expression profiles of intestinal polyps derived from hereditary colorectal cancer patients carrying APC germline mutations, and from a mouse model carrying a targeted inactivating mutation in the mouse homologue Apc. This comparative approach resulted in the establishment of a conserved signature encompassing 166 genes differentially expressed between adenomas and normal intestinal mucosa in both species. Functional analysis of the conserved genes revealed a general increase in cell proliferation and the activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signal transduction pathway, as expected from the selection of APC/Apc-mutant intestinal adenomas. Moreover, the conserved signature is able to resolve expression profiles from hereditary polyposis patients carrying APC germline mutations from those with bi-allelic incativation of the MYH gene. Keywords: normal versus tumor comparison; compare expression profiles from microdissected samples with distinct germline mutations (FAP vs. MAP). Here, we report the expression profiles from normal and intestinal adenomatous tissue from FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis) and MAP (MUTY-associated polyposis) patients with established APC and MUTY germline mutations. Total RNA samples were obtianed by laser capture microdissection.

Project description:The tumor suppressor gene adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is mutated in most colorectal cancers (CRC) resulting in constitutive Wnt activation. To understand the Wnt-activating mechanism of APC mutation, we applied CRISPR/Cas9 technology to engineer various APC-truncated isogenic lines. We find that the β-catenin inhibitory domain (CID) in APC represents the threshold for pathological levels of Wnt activation and tumor transformation. Mechanistically, CID-deleted APC truncation promotes β-catenin deubiquitination through reverse binding of β-TrCP and USP7 to the destruction complex. USP7 depletion in APC-mutated CRC inhibits Wnt activation by restoring β-catenin ubiquitination, drives differentiation and suppresses xenograft tumor growth. Finally, the Wnt-activating role of USP7 is specific to APC mutations, thus can be used as tumor-specific therapeutic target for most CRCs.

Project description:To observe the process of carcinogenesis, CPC-Apc mice were used as a mouse model of spontaneous colorectal cancer. MiRNAs (miR-200c, miR-302 (-a,-b,-c,-d), and miR-369 (-3p, -5p)) or negative control miRNA were intravenously injected to CPC-Apc mice from 8 weeks of age 3 times per week for 8 weeks with super carbonate apatite as drug delivery system. To know the therapeutic effect alive, endoscopic study was performed at 9 and 13 weeks. It revealed that tumor incidence was suppressed in mice with miRs compared to control. Mice were sacrificed at 15 weeks of age.

Project description:Tankyrase, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member, regulates multiple cellular processes. Tankyrase inhibitors efficiently suppress APC-mutated colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation. To examine the mechanism of anti-proliferative effect of tankyrase inhibitors (G007LK and RK582), we analyzed gene expression profiles of patient-derived APC-mutated CRC cells (JC21 and JC475) left untreated or treated with 0.3 µM G007LK or RK582 for 24 h by cDNA microarray analysis.

Project description:Wnt signaling plays a pivotal role in colorectal cancer. Intrinsic activation of Wnt by mutational events, such as mutations in the tumor suppressor gene APC, represents the most frequent initiating event in this disease background. Long truncated versions of APC retain partial functionality, which leads to a sub-maximal, “just right” activation state of Wnt signaling supposed to be beneficial for disease initiation. In order to study the transcriptomic alterations of an over-stimulated Wnt signaling pathway, conditional shRNA-mediated silencing of APC was performed in chromosomal instable HT-29 CRC cells which express a 1555 amino acid variant of APC protein able to bind and partially inactivate β-catenin. To achieve this, cells were stably transduced with lentiviral particles encoding for a doxycyline-inducible shRNA directed against APC, or, as a control, a non-silencing shRNA (pTRIPZ inducible shRNA vectors, RHS4740-EG324, Horizon Dharmacon, CO, USA). 72 hours after APC silencing, total RNA was isolated and quality controlled for subsequent RNA-Seq Analysis (DKFZ Heidelberg, Genomic and Proteomic Core Facility) on a HiSeq 2000 instrument (Illumina). Overall, we observed bona-fide Wnt target genes, such as NKD1, AXIN2, PTK7, ASCL2, and SMOC2, and additional putative direct or indirect targets of Wnt signaling up-regulated upon shRNA-mediated APC silencing.
