Project description:Paracrine signals relayed between heterogenous cell types through small and large extracellular vesicles promote cancer cell growth, invasion and metastasis. Microplasts, also called as cytoplasts or cytokineplasts are large extracellular vesicles (0.5-11µm diameter) originating from migratory cells. Microplasts are known to be associated with invasive phenotypes of cancer cells and promote metastasis. Treatment with macrophage conditioned medium induces significant shedding of microplasts from MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cells. To characterise microplasts and to study their potential role in intercellular communication in cancer, we isolated microplasts derived from macrophage conditioned medium treated MCF-7 cells and investigated their protein cargo through LC-MSMS.

Project description:Withaferin A isolated from Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) has recently become an attractive phytochemical under investigation in various preclinical studies for treatment of different cancer types. In the present study, a comparative pathway-based transcriptome analysis was applied in epithelial-like MCF-7 and triple negative mesenchymal MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells exposed to concentrations of Withaferin A (WA) which can be detected systemically in in vivo experiments. Whereas WA revealed attenuation of multiple cancer hallmarks the withanolide analogue Withanone (WN), did not exert any of the described effects in these cells at comparable concentrations. Pathway enrichment analysis identified that WA targeted relevant cancer programs related to cell death, cell cycle and proliferation, which could functionally be validated flow cytometrically and by real-time proliferation xCELLigence assay. With respect to cell motility, invasion and metastasis processes, WA was found to strongly decrease MDA-MB-231 invasion as determined by single-cell collagen invasion assay. This is further supported by gene expression changes which demonstrate increased expression of a validated breast cancer metastasis suppressor gene (BRMS1) and concomitant decreased expression of extracellular matrix-degrading proteases (PLAU, PLAT, ADAM8), cell adhesion molecules (integrins, laminins) as well as pro-inflammatory mediators of the metastasis-promoting tumor microenvironment (TNFSF12, IL6, ANGPTL2, CSF1R). Subsequent in silico network analysis listed key node transcription factors regulating these processes (p53, E2F1, CDKN2A, NRF2) and revealed the role of chromatin modifying enzymes (p300, JARID1B) as central master switches, linking multiple anticancer activities of WA. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering analysis of 84 chromatin writer-reader-eraser enzymes revealed that WA treatment of invasive mesenchymal MDA-MB-231 cells reprogrammed their transcription levels more similarly towards the pattern observed in non-invasive MCF-7 cells. In conclusion, taking in account that sub-cytotoxic concentrations of WA target multiple metastatic effectors in therapy resistant triple negative breast cancer, WA based therapeutic strategies hold promise for further (pre)clinical development to defeat aggressive metastatic breast cancer. Total RNA from 2 different cell lines treated with WA, are compared to their untreated states

Project description:Why breast cancers become resistant to tamoxifen despite continued expression of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and what factors are responsible for high HER2 expression in these tumors remains an enigma. HOXB7 ChIP analysis followed by validation showed that HOXB7 physically interacts with ERα, and that the HOXB7-ERα complex enhances transcription of many ERα target genes including HER2. Investigating strategies for controlling HOXB7, our studies revealed that MYC, stabilized via phosphorylation mediated by EGFR-HER2 signaling, inhibits transcription of miRNA-196a, a HOXB7 repressor. This leads to increased expression of HOXB7, ER-target genes and HER2. Repressing MYC using small molecule inhibitors reverses these events, and causes regression of breast cancer xenografts. The MYC-HOXB7-HER2 signaling pathway is eminently targetable in endocrine-resistant breast cancer. MCF7 cell lines stably transduced with either vector control of HOXB7. Array ran in duplicates.

Project description:Background: Consumption of high fat diets has negative impacts on health and well-being, some of which may be epigenetically regulated. Selenium and folate are two compounds which influence epigenetic mechanisms. We investigated the hypothesis that post-weaning supplementation with adequate levels of selenium and folate in mouse offspring fed a high fat, low selenium and folate diet during gestation and lactation will lead to epigenetic changes of potential importance for long-term health. Female offspring of mothers fed the experimental diet were either maintained on this diet (HF-low-low), or weaned onto a high-fat diet with sufficient levels of selenium and folate (HF-low-suf), for 8 weeks. Gene and protein expression, DNA methylation, and histone modifications were measured in colon and liver of female offspring. Results: Adequate levels of selenium and folate post-weaning affected gene expression in colon and liver of offspring, including decreasing Slc2a4 gene expression. Protein expression was only altered in the liver. There was no effect of adequate levels of selenium and folate on global histone modifications in the liver. Global liver DNA methylation was decreased in mice switched to adequate levels of selenium and folate, but there was no effect on methylation of specific CpG sites within the Slc2a4 gene in liver. Conclusions: Post-weaning supplementation with adequate levels of selenium and folate in female offspring of mice fed high-fat diets during gestation and lactation can alter global DNA methylation in liver. This may be one mechanism by which the negative effects of a poor diet during early life can be ameliorated. Further research is required to establish what role epigenetic changes play in mediating observed changes in gene and protein expression, and the relevance of these changes to health. Female wild type C57BL/6 mice (Animal Resource Centre, Western Australia) were fed a High Fat diet containing low levels of selenium and folate (HF-Low) for 7 days prior to mating with male C57BL/6 mice (Ruakura Small Animal Facility, Hamilton, New Zealand). Mothers were maintained on the HF-Low diet throughout gestation and lactation. Offspring of these female mice were randomly assigned to one of two different dietary treatments: either the same diet as the mothers (HF-Low), or a High Fat diet containing adequate selenium and folate (HF-Suf). At 12 weeks of age, mice were euthanized and colon and liver samples taken for microarray, proteomics, and DNA methylation analyses. Genomic DNA, total RNA and protein from whole colon and liver tissue was extracted using an AllPrepM-BM-. DNA/RNA/Protein mini kit (Qiagen, Cat number 80004). Colon and liver RNA from six female offspring on the HF-Low diet was compared with colon and liver RNA from six female offspring on the HF-Suf diet. All individual RNA samples were hybridized against a common reference RNA on separate arrays. The reference RNA was prepared by pooling in equimolar proportions RNA extracted from the intestine and liver of twelve female C57BL/6 mice, these being all of the mice from which samples were derived for microarray analysis in the current study.

Project description:Among the different chemotherapies available, genotoxic drugs are widely used. In response to these drugs, particularly doxorubicin, tumor cells can enter into senescence. Chemotherapy-induced senescence (CIS) is a complex response. Long described as a definitive arrest of cell proliferation, we and various groups have shown that this state may not be complete and could allow certain cells to reproliferate. The mechanism could be due to the activation of new signaling pathways. In the laboratory, we study the proteins involved in these pathways and triggering cell proliferation. In this study, we determine a new role for Anterior Gradient protein 2 (AGR2) in vivo in patients and in vitro in a senescence escape model. We used proteomic studies of patients’ samples and cell lines, and also RNA interference to assess the implication of AGR2 in breast cancer and proliferation of senescent cells. First, we identified AGR2, and found that its concentration is higher in the serum of breast cancer patients and that this high concentration is associated with metastasis occurrence. We also observed an inverse correlation between intratumoral AGR2 expression and the senescence marker p16. This observation led us to study AGR2’s role in the CIS escape model. In this model, we found that AGR2 is overexpressed in cells during senescence escape and its loss considerably reduces that phenomenon. Furthermore, we showed that the extracellular form eAGR2 stimulated the reproliferation of senescent cells. The power of proteomic analysis based on the SWATH-MS approach allowed us to highlight the mTOR/AKT signaling pathway in the senescence escape mechanism mediated by AGR2. Analysis of the two signaling pathways revealed that AGR2 modulates RICTOR phosphorylation. All these results show that AGR2 is a breast cancer biomarker and regulates CIS escape via activation of the mTORC2/AKT signaling pathway.

Project description:Metastasis is the major cause of death in cancer patients, yet the genetic/epigenetic programs that drive metastasis are poorly understood. Here, we report a novel epigenetic reprogramming pathway that is required for breast cancer metastasis. Concerted differential DNA methylation is initiated by activation of the RON receptor tyrosine kinase by its ligand, macrophage stimulating protein (MSP). Through PI3K signaling, RON/MSP promotes expression of the G:T mismatch-specific thymine glycosylase MBD4. RON/MSP and MBD4-dependent aberrant DNA methylation results in misregulation of a specific set of genes. Knockdown of MBD4 reverses methylation at these specific loci, and blocks metastasis. We also show that the MBD4 glycosylase catalytic residue is required for RON/MSP-driven metastasis. Analysis of human breast cancers using a set of specific genes that are regulated by RON/MSP through MBD4-directed aberrant DNA methylation revealed that this epigenetic program is significantly associated with poor clinical outcome. Furthermore, inhibition of Ron kinase activity with a new pharmacological agent prevents activation of the RON/MBD4 pathway and blocks metastasis of patient-derived breast tumor grafts in vivo. Examination of 3 cell types.

Project description:The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (ERBB2 or HER2) is amplified and overexpressed in approximately 20% of invasive breast cancers and is associated with metastasis and poor prognosis. Here we describe the role of a constitutively active splice variant of HER2 (Delta-HER2) in human mammary epithelial cells. Overexpression of Delta-HER2 in human mammary cells decreased apoptosis and increased proliferation and expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal markers. It also induced invasion in three-dimensional cultures and promoted tumorigenicity and metastasis in vivo. In contrast, similar overexpression of wild-type HER2 failed to evoke the same effects. Unbiased protein-tyrosine phosphorylation profiling revealed a significant increase in phosphorylation of several key signaling proteins upon Delta-HER2 expression, some of which not previously shown to belong to the HER2 pathway. In addition, microarray analysis revealed the expression of a set of genes specifically associated with Delta-HER2 expression. We found those genes to be highly expressed in ER-negative, high grade and metastatic primary breast tumors. Altogether, these results provide new insights into the function of a tumorigenic splice variant of HER2 and the signaling cascade deriving from its activity RNA was extracted from MCF10A expressing empty vector, WT-HER2 or Delta-HER2 (n=3).
