Analysis of the MSX1 downstream signaling network in neuroblastoma

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumour of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system (SNS). One of the master regulator genes for peripheral SNS differentiation, the homeobox transcription factor PHOX2B, is mutated in familiar and sporadic neuroblastomas. Here we report that inducible expression of PHOX2B in the neuroblastoma cell line SJNB-8 down-regulates MSX1, a homeobox gene important for embryonic neural crest development. Inducible expression of MSX1 in SJNB-8 caused inhibition of both cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar. Affymetrix micro- array and Northern blot analysis demonstrated that MSX1 strongly up-regulated the Delta-Notch pathway. These experiments describe for the first time regulation of the Delta-Notch pathway by MSX1, and connect these genes to the PHOX2B oncogene, indicative of a role in neuroblastoma biology.

MSX1-induced neural crest-like phenotype in human melanocytes

Project description:Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1) is a transcription factor implicated in neural crest specification. Ectopic expression of MSX1 reprograms mature melanocytes into a neural crest-like state as a single factor. MSX1-reprogrammed melanocytes lose pigmentation and become multipotent. To identify immediate targets of MSX1, we generated a tetracycline-inducible system (Tet-ON) in order to express MSX1 in primary melanocytes (iMSX1) in a clean and rapid way starting at defined time points and perform a global gene expression analysis.

Integrated bioinformatic and wet-lab approach to identify potential oncogenic networks in neuroblastoma: MSX1

Project description:mRNA profiles of thousands of human tumors are available, but methods to deduce oncogenic signaling networks from these data lag behind. It is especially challenging to identify main-regulatory routes, and to generalize conclusions obtained from experimental models. We designed the bioinformatic platform R2 (http://r2.amc.nl) in parallel with a wet-lab approach of neuroblastoma. Here we demonstrate how R2 facilitates an integrated analysis of our neuroblastoma data. Analysis of the MYCN pathway suggested important regulatory connections to the polyamine synthesis route, the Notch pathway and the BMP/TGFM-NM-2 pathway. A network of genes emerged connecting major oncogenes in neuroblastoma. Genes in the network carried strong prognostic values and were essential for tumor cell survival. Triplicate time course experiments of MSX1 induction, with 4 timepoints.

Transcription profiling by array of human colorectal cancer SW620 cells upon MSX1 depletion.

Project description:The first step in the development of human colorectal cancer (CRC) is the aberrant hyperactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway, predominantly caused by inactivating mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene encoding an essential tumor suppressor. In order to identify genes affected by Apc loss, expression profiling of intestinal epithelium isolated from mice harboring the conditional allele of the gene was performed. The gene encoding transcriptional factor msh homeobox 1 (Msx1) displayed robust upregulation upon Apc inactivation. Subsequently, the expression pattern of human MSX1 was examined in a collection of colonic tumors. The MSX1 mRNA level was increased in all types of human intestinal neoplasia tested. In order to identify genes affected by MSX1 loss, expression profiling of human colorectal cancer cells SW620 upon MSX1 gene depletion was performed.

Transcription profiling by array of Apc-deficient mouse small intestinal epithelium upon Msx1 depletion.

Project description:The first step in the development of human colorectal cancer is the aberrant hyperactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway, predominantly caused by inactivating mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene encoding an essential tumor suppressor. The gene encoding transcriptional factor msh homeobox 1 (Msx1) displayed robust upregulation upon Apc inactivation in intestinal epithelium isolated in mice harboring the conditional allele of the Apc gene. To identify the gene signature in the small intestine upon Msx1 depletion, small intestinal epithelium from mice harboring conditional alleles of Apc and Msx1 was isolated and the gene expression profile was compared with control mice harboring the conditional allele of Apc only.

Role of MSX1 in Osteogenic Differentiation of Dental Pulp Cells

Project description:Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1) is a transcriptional factor regulating embryonic development of limbs and craniofacial tissues including bone and teeth. The purpose of this study was to investigate contribution of MSX1 to the osteogenic potential and calcification-related phenotypic expression of dental pulp stromal/mesenchymal cells isolated from human teeth. Immunohistochemisitry of a 3 week-old mouse molar showed that MSX1 protein was localized to odontoblasts and pulpal mesenchymal cells at different levels and in different manners depending upon the position of the cells in pulp tissue. When dental pulp stromal/mesenchymal cells were exposed to osteogenesis-induction medium, runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2), alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) and osteocalcin (OCN) mRNA levels, as well as alkaline phosphatase activity, increased on days 4-12, and, thereafter, the matrix was calcified on day 14. However, knockdown of MSX1 with small interfering RNA abolished this induction of the osteoblast-related gene expression, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcification. Interestingly, DNA microarray and quantative PCR analyses revealed that the MSX1 knockdown induced the sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) transcriptional factor and its downstream target genes in cholesterol-synthesis pathway. Inhibition of cholesterol synthesis enhances osteoblast differentiation of various mesenchymal cells. Thus, MSX1 may down-regulate the cholesterol synthesis-related genes to ensure osteoblast differentiation of dental pulp stromal/mesenchymal cells.

Epigenetic regulation of the homeobox gene MSX1 associates with platinum resistant disease in high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer

Project description:Introduction: Although High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) is considered a chemo-responsive disease, a proportion of patients do not respond to platinum-based chemotherapy at presentation or have progression-free survival of <6 months. Validated biomarkers of lack of response would enable alternative treatment stratification for these patients and identify novel mechanisms of resistance. Methods: Differential DNA methylation was investigated in independent tumour sets using Illumina 27K HumanMethylation arrays and validated by bisulphite pyrosequencing. Gene expression was by Affymetrix arrays and qRT-PCR. The role of Msh homeobox 1 (MSX1) in drug sensitivity was investigated by gene reintroduction into ovarian cancer cell lines. Results: CpG sites at contiguous genomic locations within the MSX1 gene have significantly lower levels of methylation in HGSOC which recur by 6 months compared to after 12 months and/or with RECIST response (p<0.05, q<0.05). A decrease in methylation at these intragenic CpG sites was significantly correlated with decreased MSX1 gene expression. Low expression of MSX1 was associated with poor progression-free survival independent of known clinical prognostic features (p=0.014). Three mutant or wild-type TP53 expressing ovarian cancer cell lines, resistant to cisplatin, have reduced MSX1 expression compared to matched parental, platinum sensitive, lines. Re-expression of MSX1 in resistant lines led to cisplatin sensitisation, increased apoptosis, increased p21 and BAX expression. However, in two TP53-null cell lines, MSX1 failed to change cisplatin sensitivity. Conclusion: Hypomethylation of MSX1 is a biomarker of resistant HGSOC disease at presentation and identifies a novel mechanism of platinum drug resistance. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 86 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2

Global quantitative proteomics analysis reveals the downstream signaling networks of Msx1 and Msx2 in skeletal muscle development

Project description:The homeoprotein Msx1 and Msx2 involved in normal skeletal muscle development and also contribute to muscle defects if altered during development. Deciphering the downstream signaling networks of Msx1 and Msx2 in myoblasts differentiation will help us to understand the molecular events that contribute to muscle defects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the proteomics characteristics in Msx1 and Msx2 mediated myoblasts differentiation, using isobaric tags for the relative and absolute quantification labelling technique (iTRAQ). The results showed that 1535 proteins with quantitative information were obtained. Volcano plots illustrated, in undifferentiated stage, 32 common downstream regulatory proteins for Msx1 and Msx2, 39 specific regulatory proteins for Msx1, and 13 specific for Msx2. While, in differentiated stage, 17 common downstream regulatory proteins for Msx1 and Msx2, 10 specific regulatory proteins for Msx1, and 21 specific for Msx2. Gene ontology, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction networks analyses revealed these proteins primarily associated with Arginine and proline metabolism, Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis, Fatty acid degradation, Metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450 and Apoptosis. In addition, our data shows Acta1 was probably a core of the downstream regulatory networks of Msx1 and Msx2 in skeletal muscle development. The findings will help us to understand the molecular roles of Msx1 and Msx2 during muscle development as well as regeneration, and to understand the molecular events that contribute to muscle defects.
