Project description:Germline mutations in BRAF and other components of the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway are associated with the congenital syndromes collectively known as RASopathies. Here, we report the association of Septo-Optic Dysplasia (SOD) including hypopituitarism and Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous (CFC) syndrome in patients harboring mutations in BRAF. Phosphoproteomic analyses demonstrate that these genetic variants are gain-of-function mutations leading to activation of the MAPK pathway. Activation of the MAPK pathway by conditional expression of the BrafV600E/+ allele, or the knock-in BrafQ241R/+ allele (corresponding to the most frequent human CFC-causing mutation, BRAFp.Q257R), leads to abnormal cell lineage determination and terminal differentiation of hormone-producing cells, causing hypopituitarism. Expression of the BrafV600E/+ allele in embryonic pituitary progenitors leads to an increased expression in cell cycle inhibitors, cell growth arrest and apoptosis but not tumour formation. Our findings show a critical role for BRAF in hypothalamo-pituitary-axis development both in mouse and human and implicate mutations found in RASopathies as a cause of endocrine deficiencies in humans

Project description:HER2 transduced cells which we will refer to as HER2-DOX –. These cells are 99% GFP positive (i.e., 99% cells have HER2 transduced, un-induced). As a control, we had GFP empty vector transduced MCF10A cells (95% have GFP transduced). Both cell types in triplicates. We had 4 time-points 0h, 30 mins, 4hours, and 7 hours (time duration for which HER2 will be induced). DOX was added to the GFP-MCF10A cells as a control. Only 1ug/ml of DOX was be used.

Project description:Sprouting angiogenesis is a highly dynamic process which relies on the continuous interchange of endothelial cell relative position within the vascular sprout, a process mediated by cell rearrangements. Here we take advantage of a previous identified role of p110a/PI3K regulating endothelial cell motility to address how cell rearrangement and interaction regulate vessel growth. By using advanced fluorescent zebrafish models and a tamoxifen-inducible endothelial-specific gene targeting in the postnatal mouse retina, we demonstrate that inactivation of the p110a isoform of PI3K in endothelial cells is a good model to study cell shuffling in the growing vasculature. We identify that a failure of endothelial cells to rearrange results in cell elongation and inability to stabilize new contacts upon anastomosis. Instead of rearrange, blockade of p110 signaling drive these cells to grow in a three dimension fashion by sending multiple protrusions which lack lumen and fail to stabilize upon anastomosis. Through a combination of in vivo and in vitro approaches together with a global phosphoproteomic screen, we discover that p110a signaling stimulates cell rearrangements by suppressing actomyosin contractility in a myosin light chain phosphatase (MLCP) dependent manner. Together, our findings highlight the importance of cell rearrangement orchestrating several steps within the angiogenic program and uncover a critical role of the p110a/MLCP axis to suppress actomyosin contractility.

Project description:A main requirement for precision medicine is the identification of patients that are more likely to respond to a particular drug. AML is a heterogeneous disease in which molecules associated to kinase signaling are frequently mutated. However, no kinase inhibitor has been approved for the treatment of this malignancy. Thus, patient stratification requires new molecular profiling techniques in addition of to the current sequencing strategies. We have used a multiomics approach that combines proteomics, phosphoproteomics, mass cytometry and DNA sequencing to classify primary AML cells derived from 36 patients. Comprehensive integrative analysis identified molecular signatures based on phosphopeptide abundance or surface marker expression that separate AML cases according to their differentiation status. Differentiated cells presented a particular pattern of protein phosphorylation, an enrichment in the activity of several kinases and a higher sensitivity to PAK, MEK and PKC/FLT3 inhibitors. In addition, mutations in proteins closely linked to kinase signaling were more frequent on differentiated cells. Interestingly the set of patients with differentiated cells as clustered by marker expression signatures showed an increased overall survival in our set of patients and in the TCGA database registered cohort. Thus, molecular differentiation signatures could be used as prognosis and drug response markers in order to implement the application of precision medicine in AML patients.

Project description:Proteomics and phosphoproteomics analysis of MCF7 cells sensitive and resistant to the PI3K inhibitor GDC-0941. The analysis was done for parental and 3 resistant cell lines maintained in the presence or the absence of the drug. One of the resistant cell lines (G2) was also treated with vehicle or the kinase inhibitors GDC0941, MK-2206 and Ku-0063794 for 2h. The proteomics analysis of sensitive and resistant MCF7 cells in basal conditions and phosphoproteomics analysis of the G2 cells in the presence of inhibitors of the PI3K pathway were run in a nano flow ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UPLC, nano Acquity, Waters) coupled to an LTQ-Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The phosphoproteomics study of sensitive and resistant MCF7 cells in basal conditions was run in a Dionex UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano coupled to an Orbitrap Q Exactive Plus mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive cancers with a high level of liver metastasis. Despite substantial advances, resistance to therapy, including gemcitabine, is still a major obstacle to improved progression free survival. Recent studies have indicated that endothelial cell (EC) focal adhesion kinase (FAK) regulates DNA-damaging therapy induced angiocrine factors and chemosensitivity in malignant cells. However, the effect of EC-FAK regulated angiocrine signalling in chemosensitivity of metastatic PDAC remains unexplored. Here, we show that inducible loss of EC-FAK in both orthotopic and spontaneous mouse models of PDAC reduces liver metastasis and improves survival rates in gemcitabine treated, but not untreated, mice, without affecting primary tumour growth, tumour vascularization, blood vessel leakage or early metastatic events. Phosphoproteomics analysis show a downregulation of the MAPK/ RAF/ PAK signalling pathways in gemcitabine treated FAK-depleted ECs compared to gemcitabine treated WT ECs. Moreover, low levels of EC-FAK correlate with increased survival and reduced relapse in gemcitabine treated human PDAC patients, supporting the clinical relevance of our findings. Altogether, we have identified a new role of EC-FAK regulating PDAC liver metastasis upon gemcitabine treatment that impacts on survival.

Project description:Background The p21 activated kinases (PAK) are frequently dysregulated in cancer and have central roles in oncogenic signalling, prompting the development of PAK inhibitors (PAKi) as anticancer agents. However, such compounds have not reached clinical use because, at least partially, there is a limited mechanistic understanding of their mode of action. Here, we aimed to characterize functional and molecular responses to PAK inhibitors (PF-3758309, FRAX-486 and IPA-3) in multiple AML models to gain mechanistic insights on how these inhibitors work in this disease and identify determinants of response in patient samples. Methods We used proteomics and phosphoproteomics to profile PAKi impact on protein phosphorylation and expression and kinase activity in P31/Fuj and MV4-11 AML cells, and primary cells from 8 AML patients. We also integrated gene dependency data with phosphoproteomics and proteomics to identify which proteins targeted by PAKi are necessary for the proliferation of AML. We studied the effect PAKi on cell cycle progression, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Finally, we used phosphoproteomics data as input for machine learning models that predicted “ex vivo” response of primary AML cells to PF-3758309 and identify markers of response. Results PF-3758309 was the most effective PAKi in reducing proliferation and inducing apoptosis in AML. PF-3758309 inhibited PAK, AMPK and PKCA activities in all AML cell lines and primary cells tested. This compound reduced the phosphorylation and expression of c-MYC and multiple ribosomal proteins in both cell lines and targeted the FLT3 pathway in FLT3-ITD mutated cells. In primary cells, PF-3758309 reduced STAT5 phosphorylation at Y699 in models with high phosphorylation on this site. Functionally, PF-3758309 reduced cell-growth, induced apoptosis, blocked the cell cycle progression and promoted differentiation in a model-dependent manner. ML modelling accurately classified primary AML samples as sensitive or resistant to PF-3758309 “ex vivo” treatment. Analysis of the models highlighted phosphorylation of PFH2 at Ser705 as a potential biomarker of response to PF-3758309. Conclusions In summary, our data define the proteomic, molecular and functional response of AML cells to PF-3758309 and suggest a route to personalise treatments in AML based on PAK inhibitors.

Project description:We analysed the extracellular matrix (ECM) landscape of fresh, healthy tissues from human fallopian tube (FT), fimbria (FB, the tissue of origin of serous tubal intraepithelial lesions) and ovarian tissue (OV). The aim was to identify differentially expressed matrix proteins between FB and FT or OV which may promote the neoplastic transformation of serous tubal intraepithelial lesions (STICs) into high-grade serous ovarian cancer, HGSOC, and metastasis from the FB to the OV.

Project description:A common limitation of cancer treatments is chemotherapy resistance. We have previously identified a molecular mechanism where chemotherapy resistance is regulated by endothelial cells. Endothelial cell specific knockout of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) sensitises tumour cells to DNA-damaging therapies, reducing tumour growth in mice. Our current study addresses the kinase dependent component of endothelial cell FAK sensitisation to the DNA damaging chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin. FAK is recognised as a therapeutic target in tumour cells, leading to the development of a range of inhibitors, the majority being ATP competitive kinase inhibitors. We demonstrate that specific inactivation of the FAK kinase domain in endothelial cells of blood vessels in established subcutaneous B16F0 tumours sensitises melanoma cells to doxorubicin. Tumour growth was reduced in response to doxorubicin treatment in FAK kinase-dead but not in wild-type mice. Furthermore, we demonstrate that doxorubicin reduces perivascular proliferation, enhances apoptosis and DNA-damage in endothelial cell FAK kinase dead tumours. When we treated human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells with the FAK kinase inhibitors defactinib, PF-562,271 and PF-573,228 in combination with doxorubicin, we observed a reduction in cytokine levels, implying a possible mechanism for FAK kinase domain in chemosensitisation. Together, these results confirm the role of the kinase domain of EC-FAK in chemosensitising tumour cells to doxorubicin.

Project description:The Greatwall kinase is a key cell cycle regulator responsible for the timely inactivation of PP2A-B55 phosphatases and consequential stabilisation of critical Cdk1-driven mitotic phosphorylation. Although Greatwall represents a potential oncogene and prospective therapeutic target, our understanding of cellular and molecular responses to chemical Greatwall inactivation remains limited. To address this, we introduce C-604, a highly selective Greatwall inhibitor, and characterise both immediate and long-term cellular responses to the chemical attenuation of Greatwall activity. We provide evidence suggesting that ENSA(S67), ARPP19(S62) and the Greatwall autophosphorylation site (T878) represent the only mitotic Greatwall substrates. Additionally, we demonstrate that Greatwall inhibition causes systemic destabilisation of mitotic phosphoproteome, premature mitotic exit and pleiotropic cellular pathologies. Importantly, we establish that cellular and molecular defects associated with low Greatwall activity arise from the untimely activation of PP2A complexes incorporating B55α but no other B55 isoforms, highlighting the unique role of PP2A-B55α phosphatases in shaping cellular responses to Greatwall-targeting compounds. Additionally, we show that sensitivity to Greatwall inhibition varies in different cell line models and that dependency on Greatwall activity reflects the balance between Greatwall and B55α expression levels. Our findings highlight Greatwall dependency as a cell-specific vulnerability and propose Greatwall and B55α expression levels as predictive biomarkers of cellular responses to Greatwall-targeted therapeutics.
