Project description:Simple Summary: Neuroblastoma (NB) accounts for 15% of all cancer related deaths of children. While amplification of the Myc-N proto-oncogene (MYCN) is a major driver of NB, expression of the neurotrophin receptor, NTRK1/TrkA, has been shown to associate with an excellent outcome. MYCN down-regulates NTRK1 expression, but it is unknown if the molecular effects of NTRK1 signaling also affect MYCN-induced networks. The aim of this study was to decipher NTRK1 signaling using an unbiased proteome and phosphoproteome approach. To this end, we realized inducible ectopic NTRK1-expression in a NB cell line with MYCN amplification and analyzed the proteomic changes upon NTRK1-activation in a time-dependent manner. In line with phenotypes observed, NTRK1-activation induced markers of neuronal differentiation and cell cycle arrest. Most prominently, NTRK1 upregulated expression and phosphorylation of the nuclear lamina component Lamin A/C. Moreover, NTRK1 signaling also induced aggregation of LMNA within nucleic foci, which accompanies differentiation in other cell types. Abstract: Background: Neuroblastomas (NB) are the most common extracranial solid tumors of childhood. Amplification of the Myc-N proto-oncogene (MYCN) is a major driver of NB aggressiveness, while high expression of the neurotrophin receptor NTRK1/TrkA is associated with mild disease courses. The molecular effects of NTRK1 signaling in MYCN-amplified NB, however, are still poorly understood and require elucidation. Methods: Inducible NTRK1-expression was realized in four NB cell lines with (IMR5, NGP) or without MYCN amplification (SKNAS, SH-SY5Y). Proteome and phosphoproteome dynamics upon NTRK1-activation by its ligand, NGF, were analyzed in a time-dependent manner in IMR5 cells. Target validation by immunofluorescence staining and automated image processing was performed using the three other NB cell lines. Results: In total, 230 proteins and 134 single phosphorylated class I phosphosites were found to be significantly regulated upon NTRK1 activation. Among known NTRK1-targets, Stathmin and the neurosecretory protein VGF were recovered. Additionally, we observed upregulation and phosphorylation of Lamin A/C (LMNA) that accumulated inside nuclear foci. Conclusions: We provide a comprehensive picture of NTRK1-induced proteome and phosphoproteome dynamics. Phosphorylation of LMNA within nucleic aggregates was identified as a prominent feature of NTRK1 signaling independent of the MYCN status of NB cells.

Project description:Bacterial cell wall components provide various unique molecular structures that are detected by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system as non-self. Most bacterial species form a cell wall that consists of peptidoglycan, a polymeric structure comprising of alternating amino sugars. Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is the minimal, biologically active molecular structure derived from peptidoglycan, and its immunogenicity is well documented in numerous studies. MDP is sensed by the cytosolic nucleotide-binding and nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor 2 (NOD2), which triggers a pro-inflammatory response upon engagement 1,2. Conducting a forward genetic screen to identify factors required for MDP detection, we discovered that N-acetylglucosamine kinase (NAGK) is essential for the immunostimulatory activity of MDP. NAGK, which has previously been identified to contribute to the hexosamine salvage pathway in humans, is broadly expressed and inducible in innate immune cells. Mechanistically, NAGK functions upstream of NOD2 in that it directly phosphorylates the N-acetylmuramic moiety of MDP at the hydroxyl group of its C6 position, yielding 6-O-phospho-MDP. NAGK-phosphorylated MDP constitutes an essential component of NOD2 dependent signal transduction. Altogether, these results unveil a previously unknown interconnection of amino sugar metabolism and innate immunity to bacterial cell walls.

Project description:Macrophages are involved in the primary human host response to pathogens such as Candida albicans. After pathogen recognition by specific receptors, a cascade of signaling pathways is activated, leading to the production of cytokines, chemokines and antimicrobial peptides. ATP binding proteins are crucial for the regulation of signaling pathways. Taking into account the fact that proteomics can provide important information regarding these molecular mechanisms, a quantitative proteomic approach was carried out for the study of human macrophage ATP-binding proteins after interaction with C. albicans. A total of 547 non-redundant proteins were quantified in at least two biological replicates and with a standard deviation lower than 0.3. Among them, 59 proteins were considered differentially abundant during macrophage interaction with C. albicans. Moreover, with the proteins enriched in ATP-binding proteins a phosphopeptide enrichment was performed, and a total of 70 phosphosites was quantified, using the same filtering criteria. We repeated the search of the .raw files in the new nexprot database (NextProt v2.15.0, 20230 protein entries) that we also uploaded in this project. In summary, in this project we uploaded: a. Quantitative proteomic results- .raw files; .msf files; mgf and excel table with quantitative results b. Quantitative phosphor results - .raw files; .msf files; mgf and excel table with quantitative results c. Identification results with recent version of Nexprot-mzIdentML.

Project description:NUAK1 is a member of the AMPK family of kinases involved in regulation of cell adhesion, metabolism and stress responses. Our previous analysis revealed a requirement for NUAK1 to sustain viability when MYC is overexpressed. Human colorectal cancer (CRC) shows near uniform overexpression of MYC, suggesting that this cancer may be particularly amenable to NUAK1 inhibition. This work reveals that elevated NUAK1 expression in human CRC correlates with more aggressive disease, lymph node metastasis and reduced overall survival. Deletion of Nuak1 in murine intestines prevented outgrowth of colonic tumors driven by loss of Apc and KRas mutation, while depletion of Nuak1 in pre-existing tumors drove rapid tumor regression. Mechanistically, we show that NUAK1 promotes anti-oxidant gene expression by facilitating nuclear import of NRF2. Deletion or inhibition of NUAK1 renders cells vulnerable to oxidative stress and provision of exogenous anti-oxidants protects cells in culture and colonic tumors in situ from Nuak1 depletion.

Project description:We pursued the hypothesis that epigenetic regulators of transcription are involved in both the development and the progression of HPV-associated CIN. Using HELP-tagging, we performed the most comprehensive study to date of DNA methylation in HPV-associated cervical neoplasia, testing ~2 million loci throughout the human genome in biopsies from 78 HPV+ women, identifying changes starting in early CIN and maintained through carcinogenesis. We identified loci at which DNA methylation is consistently altered, beginning early in the course of neoplastic disease and progressing with disease advancement. DNA methylation profiles for cervical biopsies of 19 normals, 20 CIN1, 16 CIN2/3, and 23 cervical cancers.

Project description:Identification of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) by mass spectrometry is biased towards abundant proteins, skewing our understanding of PTMs towards readily detected proteins. To uncover specifically enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms associated with PTMs, we developed a method to account for protein abundance bias when performing GO term enrichment analyses on PTM datasets. GO term enrichment analysis is frequently used to examine “-omics” datasets for overrepresented functional terms within a subset of the dataset, such as regulated genes or modified proteins. However, the identification of PTMs is biased to abundant proteins that are more readily detected in the mass spectrometer. Therefore, GO enrichment analyses comparing posttranslationally modified proteins (referred to here as modified proteins) to unmodified proteins are likely to reveal overrepresented GO terms associated with abundant proteins, rather than modified proteins specifically. The method we developed here provides more accurate GO term enrichment analysis of PTMs and identifies terms whose enrichment results from the bias to identify PTMs on abundant proteins.

Project description:The timing of behavior under natural light-dark conditions is a function of circadian clocks and photic input pathways. Yet a mechanistic understanding of how these pathways collaborate in animals is lacking. Here we demonstrate in Drosophila that the Phosphatase of Regenerating Liver-1 (PRL-1) sets period length and behavioral phase gated by photic signals. PRL-1 knockdown in PDF clock neurons dramatically lengthens circadian period. PRL-1 mutants exhibit allele-specific interactions with the light- and clock-regulated gene timeless (tim). Moreover, we show that PRL-1 promotes TIM accumulation and dephosphorylation. Interestingly, the PRL-1 mutant period lengthening is suppressed in constant light and PRL-1 mutants display a delayed phase under short, but not long, photoperiod conditions. Thus, our studies reveal that PRL-1 dependent dephosphorylation of TIM is a core mechanism of the clock that sets period length and phase in darkness, enabling the behavioral adjustment to changing day-night cycles.
