Project description:Approximately 50% of prostate cancers have chromosomal translocations resulting in the over-expression one of four ETS family transcription factors. However, it is not known why these four four family members are selected for oncogenic roles, while other ETS proteins are not. We found that the four oncogenic ETS family members have a specific role in prostate cell migration. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with next-generation sequencing, this specific biological function was matched to a specific set of genomic targets highlighted by the presence of an AP-1 binding site. ETS/AP-1 binding sites are prototypical Ras-responsive elements, but oncogenic ETS proteins could activate a Ras/MAPK transcriptional program in the absence of MAPK activation. These findings indicate that the specific function of ETS proteins over-expressed in prostate cancer is the activation of a Ras/MAPK gene expression program in the absence of signaling pathway mutations. ChIP sequencing two transcription factors in PC3 cells, four transcription factors plus a FLAG control in RWPE-1 cells and input DNA sequencing from each cell line.

RNA from U0126 treated RWPE-1 empty vector cell RNA serves as a control for each experiment. Cell lines have retroviral expression constructs expressing either empty vector, Flag-ERG, or Flag-ETV1.

Project description:PTEN loss or PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activation correlates with human prostate cancer progression and metastasis. However, in preclinical murine models, deletion of Pten alone fails to mimic the significant metastatic burden that frequently accompanies the end stage of human disease. To identify additional pathway alterations that cooperate with PTEN loss in prostate cancer progression, we surveyed human prostate cancer tissue microarrays and found that the RAS/MAPK pathway is significantly elevated both in primary and metastatic lesions. In an attempt to model this event, we crossed conditional activatable K-rasG12D/WT mice with the prostate conditional Pten deletion model we previously generated. Although RAS activation alone cannot initiate prostate cancer development, it significantly accelerated progression caused by PTEN loss, accompanied by epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and macrometastasis with 100% penitence. A novel stem/progenitor subpopulation with mesenchymal characteristics was isolated from the compound mutant prostates, which was highly metastatic upon orthotopic transplantation. Importantly, inhibition of RAS/MAPK signaling by PD325901, a MEK inhibitor, significantly reduced the metastatic progression initiated from transplanted stem/progenitor cells. Collectively, these data indicate that activation of RAS/MAPK signaling serves as a potentiating second hit to alteration of the PTEN/PI3K/AKT axis and co-targeting both pathways is highly effective in preventing the development of metastatic prostate cancers. Murine mutants with prostate specific loss of Pten and K-ras activation (K-rasG12D) under regulation of the probasin promoter developed high grade, invasive prostate cancer. RNA was extracted from dissected prostate lobes from individual mutants with pathology thought to closely mimic human disease. Prostate tissue was subject to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix cDNA microarrays.

Project description:Neurofibromin (NF1) is a fundamental inhibitor of cell growth that is conserved from yeast to humans. NF1 negatively regulates oncogenic RAS proteins by accelerating the hydrolysis of RAS-bound GTP. This activity blocks growth factor signalling upstream of both mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways. However, the structure and regulatory mechanisms of NF1 have remained elusive. Here we report crosslinking mass spectrometry analysis of the 320 kDa NF1 protein.

Project description:Ephexin1 was initially identified as a neuronal guanine nucleotide exchange factor involved in the control of neuronal development and synaptic homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate that the induction of Ephexin1 expression by an oncogenic K-Ras mutation amplifies the MAPK signaling via direct interaction with oncogenic Ras and contributes to colon and lung tumorigenesis. Ephexin1 cooperates with mutant Ras to accelerate skin tumorigenesis in vivo. In addition, we have demonstrated that the functionally relevant interaction between oncogenic K-Ras and Ephexin1. Together, these findings suggest that Ephexin1 serves as a positive regulator of Ras-driven oncogenesis and potentially represents a novel target for therapeutic intervention.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction causes biophysical, metabolic and signalling changes that alter homeostasis and reprogram cells. We used a Drosophila model in which TFAM is overexpressed in the nervous system with or without Ras/MAPK pathway inhibition, by knock-down of the ETS transcription factor pointed, to investigate the how mitochondrial dysfunction and Ras/MAPK signalling affect the transcriptome. We used microarray analysis to investigate gene expression in cases of mitochondrial dysfunction in the CNS with or without Ras/MAPK pathway inhibition by knock-down of pointed (Pnt) and anterior open (Aop).
