Project description:Purpose: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are hemorrhagic neurovascular malformations that may lead to stroke, seizures and other clinical sequelae. Recent studies have shown that somatic mutations in MAP3K3 and PIK3CA also contribute to CCM pathogenesis; however, it remains unclear how these mutations contribute to sporadic versus familial cases. In our previous research, we’ve shown that co-occurring MAP3K3 and PIK3CA mutations are present within the same clonal population of cells. The overall goal of this study was to identify PIK3CA mutations in CCM-associated developmental venous anomalies (DVA). We also analyzed the plasma miRNome of patients with (1) DVA without associated CCM, as well as (2) DVA with an associated CCM) to identify circulating miRNAs that might serve as biomarkers reflecting PIK3CA activity. Methods: We collected and sequenced the plasma miRNome of 12 individuals with a sporadic CCM associated with a DVA (CCM + DVA), 6 individuals with a DVA without a CCM (DVA only), and 7 healthy controls. Results: We found that the identical PIK3CA mutation is found in endothelial cells of both the DVA and its associated CCM, but that an activating MAP3K3 mutation appears only in the CCM. The analyses miR-134-5p was downregulated in the groups of patients with only a DVA only group (when compared to healthy controls). This miRNA has been shown to target PIK3CA. In addition, miR-182-5p, was upregulated and targets MAP3K3; while let-7c-5p was downregulated and targets both PIK3CA and MAP3K3 in the group of patients with CCM and an associated DVA (when compared to DVA only). Conclusions: These results support a mechanism where DVA develop as the result of a PIK3CA mutation, creating a region of the brain vasculature that functions as a genetic primer for CCM development following acquisition of an additional somatic mutation.

Project description:Sporadic venous malformations (VM) and angiomatosis of soft tissue (AST) are benign, congenital slow-flow vascular anomalies that have no available targeted therapies. Depending on the size and location of the lesion, symptoms vary from motility disturbances to pain and disfigurement. By analyzing tissue samples from 36 patients with VM or AST, we uncover that the majority of the samples carry a somatic mutation in either TEK or PIK3CA gene. In the current data set, we study the role of PIK3CA point mutation p.H1047R on the transcriptional profile of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC-s).

Project description:In metastatic breast cancer, HER2 activating mutations frequently co-occur with mutations in the PIK3CA, TP53, or E-cadherin genes. Of these co-occurring mutations, HER2 and PIK3CA mutations are the most prevalent gene pair, with approximately 40% of HER2 mutated breast cancers also having activating mutations in PIK3CA. To study the effects of co-occurring HER2 and PIK3CA mutations, we bred genetically engineered mice with the HER2V777L; PIK3CAH1047R transgenes (HP mice) and studied the resulting breast cancers both in vivo as well as ex vivo using cancer organoids.

Project description:The human oncogene PIK3CA is frequently mutated in human cancers. The two hotspot mutations in PIK3CA, E545K and H1047R, have been shown to regulate widespread signaling events downstream of AKT. However, the impact of these activating mutations on the tyrosine phosphorylation signaling in the cell has not been studied. Here, we performed a global phosphotyrosine profiling using isogenic knockin cell lines containing these activating mutations. We identified 824 unique phosphopeptides from 308 proteins. We found a surprisingly widespread modulation of tyrosine phosphorylation levels of proteins in the knockin mutant cells, with many of the regulated proteins involved in important biological processes, including those in the cytoskeletal migration pathways and kinase regulated signaling. We observed a widespread modulation of the tyrosine kinome, with 24 of the tyrosine kinases showing either upregulation or downregulation in phosphorylation levels. Many of the regulated phosphosites that we identified were located in the kinase domain or the canonical activating sites, indicating that the kinases were active and hence their downstream signaling pathways. Our study thus shows that the activating mutations in PIK3CA result in widespread tyrosine signaling regulation, in addition to the serine/threonine signaling pathways activated by the canonical PI3K-AKT axis.

Project description:Macrodactyly is a congenital malformation characterized by enlargement of bone and soft tissues in limbs, typically with excessive accumulation of adipose tissues. Although gain-of-function mutation of PIK3CA has been identified in macrodactyly, the mechanism of PIK3CA mutation in adipose accumulation is poorly understood. In this study, we found that adipocytes from macrodactyly were more hypertrophic than those observed in polydactyly. PIK3CA (H1047R) activating mutation and enhanced activity of PI3K/AKT pathway were detected in macrodactylous adipose-derived stem cells (Mac-ADSCs). To identify the key downstream effectors of PIK3CA activation-mediated adipogenesis in Mac-ADSCs, we examined the transcriptome of Mac-ADSCs, BYL-719 treated Mac-ADSCs and Pol-ADSCs by RNA-Seq analysis.

Project description:Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a sporadic, congenital, neuro-cutaneous disorder characterized by a mosaic, capillary malformation. SWS and isolated capillary malformations are caused by a somatic activating mutation in GNAQ encoding the G protein subunit alpha-q protein. The missense mutation R183Q is the sole GNAQ mutation identified thus far in affected tissues of 90% of SWS patients. In this study, we sequenced skin biopsies of affected capillary malformations from 9 patients. We identified the R183Q mutation in nearly all samples, but one sample exhibited a Q209R mutation. This new mutation occurs at the same residue as the constitutively-activating Q209L mutation, commonly seen in tumors. However, Q209R is a rare variant in this gene. To compare the effect of the Q209R mutation on downstream signaling, we performed reporter assays with a GNAQ-responsive reporter co-transfected with either GNAQ WT, R183Q, Q209L, Q209R, or C9X (representing a null allele). Q209L showed the highest reporter activation, with R183Q and Q209R showing significantly lower activation. To determine whether these mutations had similar or different downstream consequences we performed RNAseq analysis in microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) electroporated with the same GNAQ variants. The R183 and Q209 missense variants caused extensive dysregulation of a broad range of transcripts compared to the WT or null allele, confirming that these are all activating mutations. However, the missense variants exhibited very few differentially expressed genes (DEGs) when compared to each other. These data suggest that these activating GNAQ mutations differ in magnitude of activation but have similar downstream effects.
