Project description:We previously demonstrated that proline-rich protein 11 (PRR11) and spindle and kinetochore associated 2 (SKA2) constituted a head-to-head gene pair driven by a prototypical bidirectional promoter, and this gene pair synergistically promoted the development of non-small-cell lung cancer. However, the signaling pathways leading to the ectopic expression of this gene pair remain obscure. In the present study, we first analyzed the lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) relevant RNA sequencing data from the TCGA database by the correlation analysis of gene expression and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), revealing that the PRR11-SKA2 correlated gene list highly resembled the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway activation-related gene set. Subsequently, GLI1/2 inhibitor GANT-61 or GLI1/2-siRNA inhibited Hh pathway of LSCC cells, concomitantly decreasing the expression levels of PRR11 and SKA2. Furthermore, the mRNA expression profile of LSCC cells treated with GANT-61 was detected by RNA sequencing, displaying 397 differentially expressed genes (203 upregulated genes and 194 downregulated genes). Out of them, one gene set, including BIRC5, NCAPG, CCNB2 and BUB1, involved in cell division and interacted with both PRR11 and SKA2. These genes were verified as the downregulated genes via RT-PCR and their high expression significantly correlated with shorter overall survival of LSCC patients. Taken together, our results indicated that GLI1/2 mediated the expression of the PRR11-SKA2-centric gene set which served as unfavorable prognostic indicators for LSCC patients, potentializing new combinatorial diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in LSCC.

Project description:Aberrant activation of Hedgehog (HH) signaling has been identified as a key etiologic factor of many human malignancies. Signal strength, target gene specificity, and oncogenic activity of HH signaling profoundly depend on interactions with other pathways such as epidermal growth factor receptor-mediated signaling which has been shown to cooperate with HH/GLI in basal cell carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. We demonstrate that the human medulloblastoma cell line Daoy possesses a fully inducible endogenous HH pathway. Treatment of Daoy cells with Sonic Hedgehog or Smoothened agonist induced expression of GLI1 protein and prevented processing of GLI3 to its repressor form. To study interactions between HH- and EGF-induced signaling in greater detail, time-resolved measurements were carried out and analyzed on the transcriptomic as well as proteomic level. Daoy cells responded to the co-treatment by downregulating GLI1, PTCH, and HHIP on the transcript level which was also seen when Amphiregulin (AREG) was used instead of EGF. The finding that EGFR signaling silences proteins acting as negative regulators of HH signaling is firstly described here as a novel crosstalk mechanism. Furthermore, combined EGFR/HH signaling maintains high GLI1 protein levels contrasting its downregulation on the transcript level. On the other hand, high level synergism was observed with respect to a strong and significant upregulation of numerous canonical EGF-targets with putative tumor-promoting properties such as MMP7, VEGFA, and IL-8. In conclusion, synergistic effects between EGFR and HH signaling can selectively induce a switch from a canonical HH/GLI profile to a modulated specific target gene profile pointing to more wide-spread, yet context-dependent, interactions between HH/GLI and growth factor receptor signaling in human malignancies. To study interactions between HH- and EGF-induced signaling, time-resolved measurements were carried out over a period of 24 h at 14 different time points after stimulation by EGF with and without additional stimulation by SHH. Furthermore, as a control, cells without any stimulation by EGF and SHH (control) and cells in the presents of SHH were analyzed. Overall, three biological replicates of 60 different treatment/timepoints were analyzed yielding 180 different samples.

Project description:The Hedgehog signaling pathway is essential for the maintenance and response of several types of stem cells. To study the transcriptional response of stem cells to HH signaling, we searched for proteins binding to GLI proteins, the transcriptional effectors of the HH pathway in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. We purified GLI protein complex from an ES cell line that contained a tamoxifen-inducible 3XFLAG-tagged GLI3 repressor allele by anti-FLAG immunoprecipitation and several novel GLI co-factors were identified in the complex by subsequent mass spectrometry analysis.

Project description:Gene pairing is a highly conserved and special mode of eukaryotic gene organization, and critically implicated in development and diseases including cancer. We previously found that PRR11 and SKA2 constitute a classic head-to-head gene pair. Here, we further demonstrate that PRR11, SKA2, and its intronic miR301a and miR454 constitute a more exquisite bidirectional transcription unit that are overexpressed in various types of cancers. Functional studies using lung cancer as a model system reveal that co-overexpression of PRR11, SKA2, miR301a and miR454 together remarkably accelerates cell growth, cell cycle progression and cell motility in lung cancer cells, and promotes tumor growth in mouse models in vivo, whereas CRISPRi-mediated repression of the entire transcription unit inhibits these malignant phenotypes. Mechanistically, the four component genes do not display any additive or synergistic effect, but rather compensate for each other for robustly sustained activation of PI3K-AKT pathway, with PRR11 interacting with GRB2, and SKA2 with EGFR. Notably, miR301a and miR454 exert their oncogenic functions at least partially via repressing PTEN translation. Moreover, the transcription unit presents as a prominent prognostic meta-marker for lung cancer. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the essential and coordinated roles of PRR11-SKA2-miR301a/454 bidirectional transcription unit in lung cancer progression, highlighting its potential diagnostic and therapeutic values in cancers.

Project description:Cellular signaling pathways rely on posttranslational modifications (PTMs) to finely regulate protein functions, particularly transcription factors. The Hedgehog (Hh) signaling cascade, crucial for embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, is susceptible to aberrations that lead to developmental anomalies and various cancers. At the core of Hh signaling are Gli proteins, whose dynamic balance between activator (GliA) and repressor (GliR) states shapes cellular outcomes. Phosphorylation, orchestrated by multiple kinases, is pivotal in regulating Gli activity. While kinases in this context have been extensively studied, the role of protein phosphatases, particularly Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A), remains less explored. This study unveils a novel role for the B'' gamma subunit of PP2A, PPP2R3C, in Hh signaling regulation. PPP2R3C interacts with Gli proteins, and its disruption reduces Hedgehog pathway activity. Moreover, we establish a connection between PPP2R3C and MEKK1 kinase in Gli protein phosphorylation, underscoring the intricate interplay between kinases and phosphatases in Hh signaling pathway. This study sheds light on the previously understudied role of protein phosphatases in Hh signaling and provides insights into their significance in cellular regulation.

Project description:High levels of GLI (GLI1 and GLI2) mRNA and GLI luciferase reporter activity were detected in the androgen independent prostate cancer cell lines DU145 and PC-3 compared to the androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cell line. Subsequently, we observed that ectopic GLI1 promoted hormone independence in LNCaP cells (LNCaP-GLI1). We compared the gene expression profile of LNCaP-pBP (empty vector), LNCaP-GLI1, DU145, and PC-3 cells globally as well as to identify GLI1-regulated genes that may contribute to hormone independence. RNA was harvested and analysed from LNCap-pBP (control/reference sample), LNCaP-GLI1, DU145 and PC-3 cells
