Project description:Inhibitors for cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and CDK6 have been established as effective therapeutic options for hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. Although the CDK4/6 inhibitors mainly target the cyclin D-CDK4/6-retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB) axis, little is known about clinical impact of inhibiting phosphorylation of other CDK4/6 target proteins. Here, we have focused on other CDK4/6 targets, SMAD proteins. We showed that a CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib and Activin-SMAD2 signaling cooperatively inhibited cell cycle progression of a luminal-type breast cancer cell line T47D. Mechanistically, Palbociclib enhanced SMAD2 binding to the genome through inhibiting linker phosphorylation of the SMAD2 protein by CDK4/6. Comparison of the SMAD2 ChIP-seq data of T47D with those of a triple-negative breast cancer cell line Hs578T indicated that Palbociclib augments different SMAD2-mediated program defined based on types of cells, and enhances SMAD2 binding to the target regions on the genome without affecting its binding pattern. Collectively, the CDK4/6 inhibitor facilitates the cytostatic effects of Activin-SMAD2, while it also enhances its tumor promoting effects depending on types of breast cancer.

Project description:Transcriptome sequencing analysis of Hs578T control (CTRL sh) and CCN3 knockdown (CCN3 sh) cell lines. CCN3, also known as nephroblastoma overexpressed (NOV, NOVH), has been associated with cell migration, invasion, angiogenesis, adhesion and proliferation in several cancer types like Ewing’s sarcoma, glioma, prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, chondrosarcoma and melanoma. These results provide information about gene expression affected by CCN3 in triple-negative breast cancer cell lines.
