SOX4 AND SMARCA4 COOPERATIVELY REGULATE PI3K SIGNALING THROUGH TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVATION OF TGFBR2 IN BASAL LIKE BREAST CANCER

ABSTRACT: Dysregulation of PI3K/Akt signaling is a dominant feature in basal-like or triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). However, the mechanisms regulating this pathway are largely unknown in this subset of aggressive tumors. Here we demonstrate that the transcription factor SOX4 is a key regulator of PI3K signaling in TNBC. Genomic and proteomic analyses coupled with mechanistic studies identified TGFBR2 as a direct transcriptional target of SOX4 and demonstrated that TGFBR2 is required to mediate SOX4-dependent PI3K signaling. We further report that SOX4 and the SWI/SNF ATPase SMARCA4, which are uniformly overexpressed in basal-like tumors, form a previously unreported complex that is required to maintain an open chromatin conformation at the TGFBR2 regulatory regions in order to mediate TGFBR2 expression and PI3K signaling. Collectively, our findings delineate the mechanism by which SOX4 and SMARCA4 cooperatively regulate PI3K/Akt signaling and suggest that this complex may play an essential role in TNBC genesis and/or progression.

RNAseq of 4T1 cells expressing exogenous LINC01133

Project description:The PI3K pathway represents the most hyperactivated oncogenic pathway in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly aggressive tumor subtype encompassing ~15% of breast cancers with no targeted therapeutics. Despite critical contributions of its signaling arms to disease pathogenesis, PI3K pathway inhibitors have not achieved expected clinical responses in TNBC owing largely to still-incomplete understanding of the compensatory cascades that operate downstream of PI3K. Here, we investigated the contributions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) to PI3K activities in clinical and experimental TNBC, and discovered a prominent role for LINC01133 as a PI3K-AKT signaling effector. We found that LINC01133 exerted pro-tumorigenic roles in TNBC, and that it governed a previously undescribed mTORC2-dependent pathway that activated AKT in a PI3K-independent manner. Mechanistically, we show that LINC01133 induced the expression of the mTORC2 component PROTOR1/PRR5 by competitively coupling away its negative mRNA regulator, the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNPA2B1). PROTOR1/PRR5 in turn was sufficient and necessary for LINC01133-triggered functions, casting previously unappreciated roles for this Rictor-binding protein in cellular signaling and growth. Notably, LINC01133 antagonism undermined cellular growth and we show that the LINC01133-PROTOR1/PRR5 pathway tightly associated with TNBC poor patient survival. Altogether, our findings uncovered a lncRNA-driven signaling shunt that acts as a critical determinant of malignancy downstream of the PI3K pathway and as a potential RNA-based theranostic in clinical TNBC management. We performed comparative gene expression profiling analyses using RNA-seq of triplicates of control 4T1 cells (harboring empty plasmid control) and 4T1 cell trioplicates expressing exogenous LINC01133.

Cholesterol biosynthesis inhibition synergizes with AKT inhibitors in triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is responsible for a disproportionate number of breast cancer deaths due to its molecular heterogeneity, high recurrence rate and lack of targeted therapies. Dysregulation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway occurs in approximately 50% of TNBC patients. We performed a genome-wide negative selection CRISPR/Cas9 screen with PI3K and AKT inhibitors to identify targetable synthetic lethalities in TNBC. We found that cholesterol homeostasis is a collateral vulnerability with AKT inhibition. Disruption of cholesterol homeostasis with pitavastatin synergized with AKT inhibition to induce TNBC cytotoxicity in vitro, in mouse TNBC xenografts and in patient-derived organoids of estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer. Neither ER-positive breast cancer cell lines nor ER-positive organoids were sensitive to combined AKT inhibitor and pitavastatin. Mechanistically, TNBCs show dysregulated SREBP-2 activation in response to single agent or combination AKT inhibitor and pitavastatin, and this was rescued by inhibition of the cholesterol trafficking protein Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1). NPC1 loss promoted lysosomal cholesterol accumulation, decreased endoplasmic reticulum cholesterol levels and promoted SREBP-2 activation. Taken together, these data identify a TNBC-specific vulnerability to the combination of AKT inhibitors and pitavastatin mediated by dysregulated cholesterol trafficking. This work motivates combining AKT inhibitors with pitavastatin as a therapeutic modality in TNBC.

ChIP-Seq analysis to identify direct binding of ZNF165

Project description:We found that the cancer testis antigen, ZNF165, is required for viability and modulates TGFÎ²-induced gene expression in mesenchymal, Claudin-Low, TNBC. To begin to define ZNF165's role in TNBC tumorigenesis, we performed ChIP-Seq analysis in the mesenchymal TNBC tumor derived cell line, WHIM12, stably expressing ZNF165-V5. This analysis uncovered 381 peaks associated with 410 genes and included TGFÎ² target genes, SMURF2 and SMAD, that promote negative TGFÎ² feedback regulation. Our results provide insight into how ZNF165 globally modulates TGFÎ² signaling and nominates ZNF165 candidate gene targets. WHIM12 cells were stably infected ZNF165-V5 were grown to 75% confluency. Chromatin was isolated, sonicated and immunoprecipitated using a V5 antibody. Purifed ChIP-ed DNA was then sequence, aligned to hg19 and HOMER was justed to identify significantly enriched peaks.

Multi-omics data integration reveals correlated regulatory features of triple negative breast cancer

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive type of breast cancer with very little treatment options. TNBC is very heterogeneous with large alterations in the genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes leading to various subtypes with differing responses to therapeutic treatments. We applied a multi-omics data integration method to evaluate the correlation of important regulatory features in TNBC BRCA1 wild-type MDA-MB-231 and TNBC BRCA1 5382insC mutated HCC1937 cells compared with normal epithelial breast MCF10A cells. The data includes DNA methylation, RNAseq, protein, phosphoproteomics, and histone post-translational modification. Data integration methods identified regulatory features from each omics method had greater than 80% positive correlation within each TNBC subtype. Key regulatory features at each omics level were identified distinguishing the three cell lines and were involved in important cancer related pathways such as TGFbeta signaling, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling.

17 Models: Buparlisib-treated Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX) Reversed Phase Protein Array (RPPA) Data

Project description:Aberrant activation of PI3K pathway is frequently observed in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). However single agent PI3K inhibitors have shown limited anti-tumor activity. To investigate biomarkers of response and resistance mechanisms, we tested 17 TNBC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models representing diverse genomic backgrounds and varying degrees of PI3K pathway signaling activities for their tumor growth response to the pan-PI3K inhibitor BKM120. Baseline and post-treatment PDX tumors harvested following 3 days of BKM120 or vehicle administration were subjected to reverse phase protein array (RPPA) to identify protein markers associated with tumor growth response. While BKM120 consistently reduced PI3K pathway activity, as demonstrated by reduced levels of phosphorylated AKT, percentage tumor growth inhibition (%TGI) ranged from 35% in the least sensitive to 84% in the most sensitive PDX model at the completion of approximately 3-4 weeks of treatment. Several biomarkers showed significant association with resistance, including elevated baseline levels of growth factor receptors (EGFR, pHER3 Y1197), PI3Kp85 regulatory subunit, anti-apoptotic protein BclXL, EMT (Vimentin, MMP9, IntegrinaV), NFKB pathway (IkappaB, RANKL), and intracellular signaling molecules including Caveolin, CBP, and KLF4, as well as treatment-induced increase in the levels of phosphorylated forms of Aurora kinases. Sensitivity to BKM120 was associated with higher baseline levels of proapoptotic markers (Bak and Caspase 3) and a greater number of markers differentially changed following BKM120 therapy. Interestingly, markers indicating PI3K pathway signaling activation or PTEN loss at baseline were not significantly correlated to %TGI. These results provide important insights into biomarker development for PI3K inhibitors in TNBC.

Transcription profiling of mouse ES cells overexpressing Akt response to LIF

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells can self-renew indefinitely without losing their differentiation ability to any cell types. Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling plays a pivotal role in various stem cell systems, including the formation of embryonic germ (EG) cells from primordial germ cells and self-renewal of neural stem cells. Here, we show that myristoylated, active form of Akt (myr-Akt) maintained the undifferentiated phenotypes in mouse ES cells without the addition of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The effects of myr-Akt were reversible, because LIF dependence and pluripotent differentiation activity were restored by the deletion of myr-Akt. In addition, myr-Akt-Mer fusion protein, whose enzymatic activity is controlled by 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen, also maintained the pluripotency of not only mouse but also cynomolgus monkey ES cells. These results clearly demonstrate that Akt signaling sufficiently maintains pluripotency in mouse and primate ES cells, and support the notion that PI3K/Akt signaling axis regulates 'stemness' in a broad spectrum of stem cell systems.
