Quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis of olfactory receptor signaling in prostate cancer cells

ABSTRACT: The olfactory receptor PSGR1 is not only expressed in olfactory tissue but shows expression in the prostate. In addition, the expression of this receptor is elevated in prostate cancer as well as other prostate diseases and can be used as diagnostic marker. The signalling cascade triggered by the activation of this receptor remains largely unknown until now. To investigate PSGR1 signalling, we stimulated the PSGR1 receptor with one of its known ligands, the odorant beta-ionone, and used a phosphoproteomics approach to identify mediators of PSGR1 signalling. We found the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Pyk2, the tumour suppressor NDRG1 as well as the sodium/hydrogen exchanger NHE1 to be downstream targets of activated PSGR1.

The prostate-specific G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (PSGR1) is an olfactory receptor specifically expressed in the prostate gland. PSGR1 expression is elevated both in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissue and in prostate cancer. Stimulation of PSGR1 by the odorant β-ionone leads to an increase in the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, activation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and a decrease in prostate cancer cell proliferation. To further extend our knowledge about PSGR1 signaling in ...[more]

Project description:Distant enhancer elements are a major source of specificity in mammalian gene expression. Although enhancers that regulate broad developmental decisions and inducible gene expression have been studied extensively, little is known about regulatory elements that govern monogenic and monoallelic expression. Here, using high throughput epigenetic and genetic techniques we identified a plethora of distant enhancers that regulate monoallelic olfactory receptor (OR) gene expression. Potential OR enhancers have unique, cell type specific epigenetic marks that distinguish them from other neuronal enhancers and correlate with enhancer activity in vivo. Using sequence capture to enrich for these sequences we identified Dnase-protected footprints that reveal novel regulatory sequences and transcription factors required for OR gene activation. Our experiments provide insight to the regulation of OR expression, and describe novel principles and methodologies towards the understanding of transcriptional mechanisms that generate cellular diversity. In vivo examination of H3K79me3 enrichment and DNAse protected footprints on olfactory receptor enhancer sequences. We performed ChIP-seq on native chromatin isolated from the mouse olfactory epithelium using antibodies against H3K79me3. To sequence accessible regions of the genome we treated nuclei with limiting amounts of DNAse I to digest accessible chromatin and perform Dnase Hypersensitivity (DHS)-seq. In the olfactory epithelium, the H enhancer – the first described enhancer for olfactory receptors has a well-defined DNAse I hypersensitivity peak and is flanked by high levels of H3K79me3. We find other intergenic sequences nearby olfactory receptor genes that share the same chromatin signature, and test their function in vivo. TO uncover transcription factor footprints on olfactory receptor enhancers we performed sequence capture of the DHS-seq library to enrich for these sequences. We find multiple DNAse-protected sequences and perform motif analysis on transcription factor footprints to reveal factors involved in olfactory receptor gene regulation.

Project description:In somatic embryogenesis, embryos are formed from a single or small group of somatic cells in response to stress and hormonal stimuli. In this study, a high-throughput phosphoproteomic analysis was used to identify and quantify phosphoproteins related to the acquisition of embryogenic competence in sugarcane. Embryogenic (EC) and nonembryogenic (NEC) calli were compared at the multiplication phase, resulting in the identification of 1279 phosphoproteins. After the differential accumulation analysis, 163 phosphoproteins were identified as unique to EC, and nine were unique to NEC, while 51 were upaccumulated, and 40 were downaccumulated in EC compared to NEC. These phosphopeptides were mainly single phosphorylated peptides, with serine residues representing the major site of phosphorylation. The motif-x analysis revealed the enrichment of [xxxpSPxxx], [RxxpSxxx] and [xxxpSDxxx] motifs, which are predicted phosphorylation sites for several kinases related to stress responses. Gene ontology enrichment revealed an overrepresentation of biological processes involved in embryonic development, showing that EC-related phosphoproteins (unique to EC and upaccumulated) were associated with stress responses, regulation of gene expression and epigenetic modifications. The NEC-related phosphoproteins (unique to NEC and downaccumulated) were associated with the translation process. In this sense, EC-related phosphoproteins described as potential regulators of abiotic stress tolerance in response to ABA-induced signals such as OSK3 (a catalytic subunit of SnRK1), ABF1, LEAs, REM4.1 and RD29Bs were identified. On the other hand, the NEC-related phosphoproteins EDR1 and PP2Ac-2 were negative regulators of ABA, suggesting a role of ABA in the acquisition of embryogenic competence linked to stress tolerance. Moreover, EC-related phosphoproteins associated with epigenetic modifications, such as HDA6, HDA19, and TPL, as well as those involved in embryo development, including ASIL1, M3KE1, MCM2, and GRV2, were identified as putative potential regulators of embryogenic competence. Our results provide novel data that may help elucidate the phosphorylation mechanisms controlling the activity, affinity and localization of specific proteins during somatic embryogenesis and suggest a role for these proteins in the hormonal signalling cascade leading to stress adaptation by reprogramming genetic expression.

Project description:The olfactory sensory system is formed by the coordinated morphogenesis and differentiation of the peripheral olfactory epithelium (OE) and the anterior forebrain. At early stages, immature olfactory receptor neurons (ORN) elongate their axons to penetrate the brain basement membrane, contact and form synapses with projection neurons of the olfactory bulb primordium. Axonal elongation is accompanied by migration of the GnRH+ neurons, followed by their ingression in the septo-hypothalamic area of the forebrain. This process is specifically impaired in the KallmannM-bM-^@M-^Ys syndrome (KS), a disorder characterized by anosmia and central hypogonadism. A set of transcription factors are master regulators of olfactory connectivity and GnRH neuron migration. We explored the transcriptional network underlying this process, by profiling the OE and adjacent mesenchyme at distinct embryonic ages. We also profiled the OE from embryos null for Dlx5, a homeogene essential for olfactory development, that causes a KS-like phenotype when deleted. We also applied analysis of conserved co-expression to integrate the obtained data with information on KS disease genes. The prevalent categories of genes differentially expressed during development are neuronal differentiation, extracellular remodelling and cell adhesion. From the analysis of Dlx5 mutant tissues we identify about 120 genes with a prevalence of intermediate filaments, cell signalling, epithelial and neuronal differentiation. Filtering for true OE expression and for the presence of Dlx5 binding sites, yielded twenty genes, of the following categories: 1) transmembrane adhesion/receptor molecules, 2) axon-glia interaction molecules, 3) synaptic proteins, 4) scaffold/adapter for signalling molecules. To functionally analyze these genes in vivo, we used three zebrafish fluorescent reporter zebrafish strains, in which we monitored early phases of olfactory/GnRH development upon gene downmodulation. The depletion of three (of five) Dlx5 targets affected axonal extension and targeting, while two (of two) altered GnRH neuron position and neurite organization. In one experiment we compare the olfactrory sensory epithelium from wild-type embryos, at three times of development, i.e. E11.5, E12.5 and E14.5. In a second experiment we compare the olfactory sensory epithelium from wild-type embryo with that from Dlx5 knock-out embryos, at the age E12.5

Project description:Characterization of the prostate cancer transcriptome and genome has identified chromosomal rearrangements and copy number gains/losses, including ETS gene fusions, PTEN loss and androgen receptor (AR) amplification, that drive prostate cancer development and progression to lethal, metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)1. As less is known about the role of mutations2-4, here we sequenced the exomes of 50 lethal, heavily-pretreated metastatic CRPCs obtained at rapid autopsy (including three different foci from the same patient) and 11 treatment naïve, high-grade localized prostate cancers. We identified low overall mutation rates even in heavily treated CRPC (2.00/Mb) and confirmed the monoclonal origin of lethal CRPC. Integrating exome copy number analysis identified disruptions of CHD1, which define a subtype of ETS? prostate cancer. Similarly, we demonstrate that ETS2, which is deleted in ~1/3 of CRPCs (commonly through TMPRSS2:ERG fusions), is a prostate cancer tumor suppressor that can also be deregulated through mutation. Further, we identified recurrent mutations in multiple chromatin/histone modifying genes, including MLL2 (mutated in 8.6% of prostate cancers), and demonstrate interaction of the MLL complex with AR, which is required for AR mediated signaling. We also identified novel recurrent mutations in the AR collaborating factor FOXA1, which is mutated in 5 of 147 (3.4%) prostate cancers (both untreated localized prostate cancer and CRPC) , and showed that mutated FOXA1 represses androgen signaling and increases tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Proteins that physically interact with AR, such as the ERG gene fusion product, FOXA1, MLL2, UTX, and ASXL1 were found to be mutated in CRPC, suggesting novel drivers of prostate cancer progression and potential resistance mechanisms to anti-androgen therapies. In summary, we describe the mutational landscape of a heavily treated metastatic cancer, identify novel mechanisms of AR signaling deregulated in prostate cancer, and prioritize candidates for future study. Gene expression profiling and array CGH (aCGH) was performed on matched benign prostate tissues (n=28), localized prostate cancer (n=59), and metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC, n=35). For gene expression profiling, frozen prostate tissue samples (channel 2), were hybridized against a commercial pool of benign prostate tissue (Clontech, channel 1). For aCGH, frozen prostate tissue samples (channel 2) were hybridized against a commerical sample of Human Male Genomic DNA (Promega, channel 1).
