Project description:Mucin 3A(MUC3A) is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and associated with poor prognosis, but the related mechanism remains unclear. Our study found that MUC3A promotes the progression of CRC by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Knockout of MUC3A significantly inhibited the proliferation of CRC cells and induced G1 phase arrest by upregulating p21 protein, an important cell cycle regulator. Moreover, knockout of MUC3A significantly inhibited invasion ability and enhanced the sensitivity to the chemotherapeutic agent 5-FU. Furthermore, we found that knockout of MUC3A repressed the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway through RNA-seq. Treatment with the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway inhibitor rapamycin successfully eliminated the difference in proliferation, invasion and chemoresistance between MUC3A knockout cells and control cells. Our study suggests that MUC3A is a potential oncogene that promotes the proliferation, invasion, and chemotherapy resistance of CRC. Moreover, CRC patients with high expression of MUC3A may benefit from rapamycin treatment.

Project description:Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway activation contributes to mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) pathogenesis and drug resistance. However, the use of mTOR inhibitors as single agents have shown limited clinical efficacy in relation with drug activation of feedback loops. Selective PI3K inhibition or dual PI3K/mTOR catalytic inhibition are different therapeutic approaches developed to achieve effective pathway blockage. Here, we evaluated the antitumor activity of a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor in primary MCL cells. We found that dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor modulated angiogenesis, tumor invasiveness and cytokine signaling compared to a mTOR inhibitor and a pan-PI3K inhibitor in MCL. We used microarrays to compare the effect of these three compounds in MCL and identified distinct classes of down-regulated genes modulated by each compound. Global RNA expression in primary cells from two MCL patients treated with a mTOR inhibitor, a pan-PI3K inhibitor and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor for 8 hours

Project description:Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a skin fibroproliferative disease currently having no truly effective therapy. PIK3CA is a catalytic subunit of PI3K able to promote collagen synthesis in benign fibrotic diseases and to regulate cell survival, proliferation, and adhesion in malignancies. To explore PIK3CA’s functions in HS formation, we performed transcriptome sequencing and experimental validation. PIK3CA were overexpressed in HS tissues, and positively correlated with fibrosis. We then screened out miR-203a-3p as the most suitable endogenous inhibitor of PIK3CA through bioinformatics. Intriguingly, miR-203a-3p suppressed the proliferation, migration, collagen synthesis, and contractility, as well as trans-differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts in vitro, improved the morphology and histology of HS in vivo. Mechanistically, miR-203a-3p attenuated fibrosis by inactivating PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway via directly targeting PIK3CA. In conclusion, Our findings identified that PIK3CA and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were actively involved in HS formation and demonstrated that miR-203a-3p might serve as a potential strategy for HS therapy through targeting PIK3CA and inactivating PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Project description:While thousands of previously unannotated small and alternative open reading frames (alt-ORFs) have recently been revealed in the human genome, the functions of only a handful are currently known, leaving open the question of their biological significance as a class. Using a proteomic strategy for discovery of unannotated short open reading frames in human cells, we report the detection of alt-RPL36, a 148-amino acid protein co-encoded with and overlapping human RPL36. Alt-RPL36 interacts with TMEM24, which transports the phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] precursor phosphatidylinositol from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. Knock-out of alt-RPL36 in HEK 293T cells increased PI(4,5)P2 levels in the plasma membrane and upregulated the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. Remarkably, we find that four serine residues of alt-RPL36 are phosphorylated, and mutation of these four serines to alanine abolished the interaction with TMEM24 and regulation of PI3K signaling. These results implicate alt-RPL36 as a novel regulator of PI(4,5)P2 synthesis upstream of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway, and the first example of a phosphorylated alt-ORF product. More broadly, both alt-RPL36 and RPL36 regulate protein synthesis and cell growth via different molecular mechanisms – AKT signaling and ribosome composition, respectively. One human transcript can therefore express two sequence-independent polypeptides from overlapping ORFs that regulate the same processes via distinct mechanisms.

Project description:Epidemiological investigations have revealed a significant association between alcohol consumption and chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). Nevertheless, the potential mechanisms are still inadequately revealed. This research aimed to investigate the impact of alcohol on CP/CPPS using an animal model and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. We first established the widely used animal model for CP/CPPS, experimental autoimmune prostatitis (EAP). During the induction of EAP, mice were fed with alcohol or control diet. The HE staining, ELISA, and behavioral experiments were employed to assess the severity of inflammation in EAP mice and EAP-alcohol mice. Patients with a history of chronic alcohol consumption were also included to evaluate the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on CP/CPPS. Subsequently, proteomic analysis, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were utilized to investigate the underlying mechanism involved both in vivo and in vitro. HE staining, ELISA, and behavioral experiments showed that alcohol exacerbated the severity of EAP in mice and patients. Proteomic and KEGG pathway analyses showed that abnormal Th1 differentiation and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway were significantly enriched. Subsequent mechanistic research showed that alcohol significantly activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway andincreased the Th1 cell differentiation both in vivo and in vitro. In contrast, PI3K inhibitor LY294002 and shRNA-PI3K plasmid inhibited PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway activation, reduced Th1 cell differentiation, and alleviated EAP inflammation severity, respectively. Our study is the first to demonstrate that alcohol intake promotes Th1 cell differentiation and exacerbates EAP by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Additionally, the role of LY294002 in inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to relieve EAP suggests that it can serveas a promising therapeutic target for CP/CPPS.

Project description:The mTOR (mammalian Target of Rapamycin) pathway is constitutively activated in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). mTOR inhibition has been shown to have clinical activity in patients with DLBCL, although overall response rates remain low. We therefore evaluated differences in the transcriptome between DLBCL cell lines with differential sensitivity to the mTOR inhibitor Rapamycin, to (A) identify gene-expression patterns(GEP) capable of identifying sensitivity to Rapamycin, (B) understand the underlying mechanisms of resistance to Rapamycin in DLBCL and (C) identify bioactive molecules likely to synergize with mTOR inhibitors. Using Affymetrix HuGene ST 1.0 microarrays, we were able to identify a gene expression signature capable of accurately predicting sensitivity and resistance to Rapamycin in DLBCL cell lines. Pathway analysis identified the serine/threonine kinase Akt as central to the differentially-expressed gene network. Connectivity mapping of our datasets identified compounds targeting the AKT pathway with a high likelihood of reversing the GEP associated with resistance to Rapamycin. Specifically, we evaluated the HIV protease inhibitor (PI) Nelfinavir, which is known to have anti-cancer and Akt-inhibitory properties, as well as the small molecule Akt inhibitor MK-2206, for their potential to synergize with to Rapamycin in DLBCL. Nelfinavir and MK-2206 caused profound inhibition of cell viability in combination with Rapamycin in DLBCL cell lines. Low nanomolar concentrations of Rapamycin inhibited phosphorylation of Akt and also downstream targets of activated mTOR when used in combination with these Akt inhibitors. These findings have the potential to significantly improve patient selection for mTOR inhibitor therapy, and to improve rates and depths of response. More broadly, they support the use of global RNA expression and connectivity mapping to improve patient selection and identify synergistic drug combinations for cancer therapy. DLBCL cell lines were tested for Rapamycin sensitivity and classified as "sensitive" or "resistant." Genome-wide analysis of all cell lines were performed using the Affymetrix HuGene ST 1.0 Array Platform. Genes with differential expression between sensitive and resistant cell lines were analyzed using Statistical Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) software, and a signature of genes determnined. This signature was found to accurately predict sensitivity or resistance of other DLBCL cell lines, and to identify the protein kinase Akt as central to resistance.

Project description:Alterations of the tumor suppressor TP53, one of the most common events in cancer, alone are insufficient for tumor development but serve as drivers of transformation. We sought to identify cooperating events through genomic analyses of a novel somatic Trp53R245W mouse model (equivalent to the TP53R248W hot spot mutation in human cancers) that recapitulates metastatic breast cancer development. We identified cooperating lesions similar to those found in human breast cancers. Moreover, we identified activation of the Pi3k/Akt/mTOR pathway in most tumors via mutations in Pten, Erbb2, Kras and/or a recurrent Pip5k1c mutation that stabilizes the Pip5k1c protein to activate Pi3k/Akt/mTOR signaling. Another PIP5K1C family member, PIP5K1A, is co-amplified with PI4KB in 18% of human breast cancer patients and both encode kinases that are responsible for production of the PI3K substrate, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Thus, the TP53R248W mutation and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling are major cooperative events driving breast cancer development. Additionally, we demonstrated that the upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation by Pi3k/Akt/mTOR signaling is a vulnerability in murine as well as human breast cancer cell lines. These findings advance our understanding of mutant p53-driven breast tumors and expand testable targets for breast cancer treatment.

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a lethal digestive tract malignancy with limited effective interventions. This study aims to explore a new potential inhibitor on OSCC and investigate the underlying mechanisms. Based on a drug screen of an FDA-proven library consisting of 1404 compounds, we demonstrated that Omipalisib, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, markedly inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation in a panel of OSCC cell lines. Mechanistically, Omipalisib induced G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, RNA-seq, KEGG and GSEA confirmed that the PI3K/mTOR signalling pathway is the primary target of Omipalisib in OSCC cells. Omipalisib treatment suppressed the PI3K/mTOR signalling pathway. Furthermore, Omipalisib exerted a significant antineoplastic effect on OSCC tumour xenografts in BALB/c nude mice without obvious side effects. The present study supports the rationale for using Omipalisib as a therapeutic approach for OSCC cases and suggests the potential clinical evaluation of this strategy.
