Project description:Primary cilia are microtubule based sensory organelles important for receiving and processing cellular signals. Recent studies have shown that cilia also release extracellular vesicles (EVs) but little is known about their composition and function. Because EVs have been shown to exert various functions in physiology and pathology, these findings have the potential to fundamentally alter our understanding of how the primary cilium is able to regulate specific signalling pathways in development and disease. Compared to control, ciliary mutant mammalian cells demonstrated increased secretion of small EVs (smEVs) and a change in EV composition. Small RNA sequencing and mass spectrometry identified an enrichment for WNT signalling-associated miRNAs and proteins loaded into ciliary mutant EVs. Furthermore, we show that smEVs secreted from mammalian cells are biologically active and modulate the WNT response in recipient cells. These results highlight a possible new smEV-dependent ciliary signalling mechanism which could provide us with new insights into paracrine ciliary signalling as well as ciliopathy disease pathogenesis.

Project description:Primary cilia are microtubule based sensory organelles that protrude from almost every cell type. Their membrane contains highly specialized receptors important for receiving and processing extracellular signals, which enables them to regulate several signalling pathways. A recently discovered characteristic is that cilia are also able to release extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the ciliary membrane. Since EVs have been shown to exert numerous functions in physiology and pathology, these findings have the potential to dramatically alter our understanding of how the primary cilium is able to regulate various signalling pathways in development and disease. In our study we focused on the release of EVs from a ciliated kidney cell line. Using control and mutant cell lines, in which ciliary trafficking was disrupted, we observed that loss of primary cilia function leads to altered EV secretion and composition in NTA (Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis) and Western blot. Cilia mutant cells released more small EVs compared to control, and their composition was also changed between mutant and control. Protein identification via mass spectrometry identified both cilia- as well as WNT signalling-associated proteins and miRNA sequencing determined WNT-related miRNAs, which were differentially expressed in small EVs isolated from the cilia mutant cell line. Because of the presence of differentially expressed WNT related molecules in these small EVs, we tested whether this would have an effect on the WNT activity of recipient cells. We observed that small EVs secreted from cilia mutant cells differentially modulated the WNT response in recipient cells compared to control. Our results highlight a possible new small EV-dependent ciliary signalling mechanism, since deficient primary cilia lead to a change in EV secretion, resulting in an altered signal transduction. These results provide us with new insights into ciliopathy disease pathogenesis.

Project description:Hypothesis and proof of concept:
Our hypothesis is that increase in cellular iron import proteins (TfR1, DMT1) occur early in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence through mutations in APC and lead to cellular iron loading. As demonstrated in our previous work the effects of this iron loading is to mediate increased Wnt signalling resulting in c-myc induction. This in turn serves to increase the expression of iron import proteins (TfR1, DMT1) and decrease the expression of iron export (ferroportin [FPN]) and storage (ferritin) proteins. Such a hypothesis explains how Wnt signalling controls iron metabolism and ensures that there is adequate cellular iron for ATP generation and cellular proliferation.
Experimental design:
To test such a hypothesis we aim to prospectively collect the following colorectal tissue from patients attending for colonoscopy:
1. Normal colonic mucosa in patients with no colorectal pathology (n = 30)
2. Polyps and matched normal colon (n = 30)
3. Colorectal cancers and matched normal colon (n = 30)
We also intend to collect serum and urine from the following patient groups:
4. Normal colonoscopy (n = 30)
5. Colorectal adenomas (n = 30)
6. Colorectal cancers (n = 30)
Primary outcome(s): Measured at baseline, using the expression of proteins in the tissue and serum to detect the cellular and systemic iron transport proteins. The techniques used will include mass spectrometry, western blotting, real time PCR and immunohistochemistry.

Project description:The function of the FAM83F protein, like the functions of many members of the FAM83 family, is poorly understood. Here we show that injection of Fam83f mRNA into Xenopus embryos causes axis duplication, a phenotype indicative of enhanced Wnt signalling. Consistent with this, overexpression of FAM83F activates Wnt signalling, whilst ablation of FAM83F from human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells attenuates it. We demonstrate that FAM83F is farnesylated and interacts and co-localises with CK1α at the plasma membrane. This interaction with CK1α is essential for FAM83F to activate Wnt signalling, and FAM83F mutants that do not interact with CK1α fail to induce axis duplication in Xenopus embryos and to activate Wnt signalling in cells. FAM83F acts upstream of GSK-3β, because the attenuation of Wnt signalling caused by loss of FAM83F can be rescued by GSK-3 inhibition. Introduction of a farnesyl-deficient mutant of FAM83F in cells through CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing redirects the FAM83F-CK1α complex away from the plasma membrane and significantly attenuates Wnt signalling, indicating that FAM83F exerts its effects on Wnt signalling at the plasma membrane.

Project description:The impact of WNT signalling activity on the acquisition and restriction of lineage propensity of germ layer progenitors and the gene network activity for cell fate decision during the development of the embryonic head was modelled in the epiblast stem cells derived and maintained under different signalling conditions. Our findings showed that the modulation of WNT activity is critical for the specification of the anterior (head) tissue progenitors in the multipotent early epiblast and the repression of WNT activity enhances the ectoderm lineage potency of the epiblast cells and poises the activation of endogenous WNT activity that drives neurogenesis during head morphogenesis.

Project description:The forkhead box transcription factor FOXQ1 is aberrantly induced in various cancers, and contributes to tumour growth and metastasis. It has been suggested that the oncogenic potential of FOXQ1 may be explained by its activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway.However, the mode of action of FOXQ1 in the Wnt pathway remains to be resolved. Here we report that FOXQ1 is bimodal transcriptional activator of Wnt target gene expression in normal and cancer cells. Using co-immunoprecipitation, proximity proteomics, and reporter assays, we show that FOXQ1 engages the Wnt transcriptional complex to promote gene expressionvia TCF/LEF transcription factors.
