Domain-specific p53 mutants activate EGFR by distinct mechanisms exposing tissue-independent therapeutic vulnerabilities

ABSTRACT: Mis-sense mutations affecting TP53 promote carcinogenesis both by inactivating its tumor suppressive functions, and by conferring aberrant pro-carcinogenic activities. We report here that mis-sense mutants in the p53 DNA-binding domain (DBD) and the transactivation domain (TAD) unexpectedly activate pro-carcinogenic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling via distinct, previously unrecognized molecular mechanisms. DBD- and TAD-specific TP53 mutants exhibited different cellular localization patterns and induced distinct gene expression profiles. Combining mass spectrometry with drug compound screens, we identified EGFR as a major signaling factor that is stabilized by TAD and DBD mutants in the cytosolic and nuclear compartments respectively, in a tissue-independent manner. Mechanistically, TAD mutants promote EGFR-mediated signaling by enhancing EGFR interaction with AKT via DDX31 in the cytosol. Conversely, DBD mutants maintain EGFR activity in the nucleus, by blocking EGFR interaction with the phosphatase SHP1, triggering upregulation of c-Myc and Cyclin D1 levels. Therapeutically, the sensitivity of DBD mutants to EGFR inhibition is enhanced by increasing the affinity of EGFR for SHP1, while that of TAD mutants can be induced by concurrent inhibition of AKT, mTOR or PI3K signaling. Thus, our findings suggest that gain-of-function, mis-sense mutations affecting two different p53 domains promote carcinogenesis by enhancing EGFR signaling via distinctive mechanisms. Our findings imply that cancer cells bearing domain-specific mutations may have distinct and exploitable therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Project description:Bidkhori2012 - EGFR signalling in NSCLC The paper describes and compares two models on EGFR signalling between normal and NSCLC cells. Moreover, it is shown that ERK (MAPK), STAT and Akt factor's activation pattern are different between normal and NSCLA models. This model corresponds to EGFR signalling in NSCLA cells. Created by The MathWorks, Inc. SimBiology tool, Version 3.3 This model is described in the article: Modeling of tumor progression in NSCLC and intrinsic resistance to TKI in loss of PTEN expression. Bidkhori G, Moeini A, Masoudi-Nejad A PloS one [2012, 7(10):e48004] Abstract: EGFR signaling plays a very important role in NSCLC. It activates Ras/ERK, PI3K/Akt and STAT activation pathways. These are the main pathways for cell proliferation and survival. We have developed two mathematical models to relate to the different EGFR signaling in NSCLC and normal cells in the presence or absence of EGFR and PTEN mutations. The dynamics of downstream signaling pathways vary in the disease state and activation of some factors can be indicative of drug resistance. Our simulation denotes the effect of EGFR mutations and increased expression of certain factors in NSCLC EGFR signaling on each of the three pathways where levels of pERK, pSTAT and pAkt are increased. Over activation of ERK, Akt and STAT3 which are the main cell proliferation and survival factors act as promoting factors for tumor progression in NSCLC. In case of loss of PTEN, Akt activity level is considerably increased. Our simulation results show that in the presence of erlotinib, downstream factors i.e. pAkt, pSTAT3 and pERK are inhibited. However, in case of loss of PTEN expression in the presence of erlotinib, pAkt level would not decrease which demonstrates that these cells are resistant to erlotinib.

Project description:Most adult patients have a D816V mutation in phosphotransferase domain (PTD), we have described that half of the children carry mutations in extracellular domain (ECD). KIT-ECD versus IT-PTD-mutants were introduced into rodent Ba/F3, EML, Rat2 and human TF1 cells to investigate their biological effect. ECD- and PTD-mutants also displayed distinct whole-genome transcriptional profiles in EML cells. We observed differences in their signaling properties: they both activated STAT pathways, whereas AKT pathway was only activated by ECD-mutants. Consistently, AKT inhibitor suppressed ECD-mutant-dependent proliferation, clonogenicity and erythroid differentiation. Expression of myristoylated AKT restored erythroid differentiation in EMLPTD cells, suggesting the differential role of AKT in those mutants. Overall, our study implied different pathogenesis of pediatric versus adult mastocytosis, which might explain their diverse phenotypes. Each EML cell line (Del417-419insY mutant and D816V mutant) was cultured with or without 250 ng/mL SCF for 48h. Gene expression profile analysis was performed using whole-genome microarrays. RNA expression profiling of cell lines was done with Affymetrix M430 2.0 mouse oligonucleotide microarrays containing 45.101 probe sets, representing 21.408 transcripts and variants including 17.482 well-characterized mouse genes. Preparation of cRNA, hybridizations, washes, detection and quantification were done as recommended by the supplier. For each sample, synthesis of the first-strand cDNA was done from 3 μg total RNA by T7-oligo(dT) priming, followed by second-strand cDNA synthesis. After purification, in vitro transcription associated with amplification generated cRNA-containing biotinylated pseudouridine. Biotinylated cRNA was purified, quantified and chemically fragmented (95°C for 35 min), then hybridized to microarrays in 200 μL hybridization buffer at 45°C for 16 h. Automated washes and staining with streptavidin-phycoerythrin were done as recommended. Signal amplification was done by biotinylated antistreptavidin antibody with goat-IgG blocking antibody. Scanning was done with Affymetrix GeneArray scanner and quantification with Affymetrix GCOS software.

Project description:Padala2017- ERK, PI3K/Akt and Wnt signalling network (EGFR overexpression) Crosstalk model of the ERK, Wnt and Akt signalling pathways with EGFR overexpression. This model is described in the article: Cancerous perturbations within the ERK, PI3K/Akt, and Wnt/?-catenin signaling network constitutively activate inter-pathway positive feedback loops. Padala RR, Karnawat R, Viswanathan SB, Thakkar AV, Das AB. Mol Biosyst 2017 May; 13(5): 830-840 Abstract: Perturbations in molecular signaling pathways are a result of genetic or epigenetic alterations, which may lead to malignant transformation of cells. Despite cellular robustness, specific genetic or epigenetic changes of any gene can trigger a cascade of failures, which result in the malfunctioning of cell signaling pathways and lead to cancer phenotypes. The extent of cellular robustness has a link with the architecture of the network such as feedback and feedforward loops. Perturbation in components within feedback loops causes a transition from a regulated to a persistently activated state and results in uncontrolled cell growth. This work represents the mathematical and quantitative modeling of ERK, PI3K/Akt, and Wnt/?-catenin signaling crosstalk to show the dynamics of signaling responses during genetic and epigenetic changes in cancer. ERK, PI3K/Akt, and Wnt/?-catenin signaling crosstalk networks include both intra and inter-pathway feedback loops which function in a controlled fashion in a healthy cell. Our results show that cancerous perturbations of components such as EGFR, Ras, B-Raf, PTEN, and components of the destruction complex cause extreme fragility in the network and constitutively activate inter-pathway positive feedback loops. We observed that the aberrant signaling response due to the failure of specific network components is transmitted throughout the network via crosstalk, generating an additive effect on cancer growth and proliferation.
