Project description:Lee2003 - Roles of APC and Axin in Wnt
Pathway (without regulatory loop)

The roles of APC and Axin
derived from experimental and theoretical analysis of the Wnt
pathway.

Abstract:
Wnt signaling plays an important role in both oncogenesis
and development. Activation of the Wnt pathway results in
stabilization of the transcriptional coactivator beta-catenin.
Recent studies have demonstrated that axin, which coordinates
beta-catenin degradation, is itself degraded. Although the key
molecules required for transducing a Wnt signal have been
identified, a quantitative understanding of this pathway has
been lacking. We have developed a mathematical model for the
canonical Wnt pathway that describes the interactions among the
core components: Wnt, Frizzled, Dishevelled, GSK3beta, APC,
axin, beta-catenin, and TCF. Using a system of differential
equations, the model incorporates the kinetics of
protein-protein interactions, protein synthesis/degradation,
and phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. We initially defined a
reference state of kinetic, thermodynamic, and flux data from
experiments using Xenopus extracts. Predictions based on the
analysis of the reference state were used iteratively to
develop a more refined model from which we analyzed the effects
of prolonged and transient Wnt stimulation on beta-catenin and
axin turnover. We predict several unusual features of the Wnt
pathway, some of which we tested experimentally. An insight
from our model, which we confirmed experimentally, is that the
two scaffold proteins axin and APC promote the formation of
degradation complexes in very different ways. We can also
explain the importance of axin degradation in amplifying and
sharpening the Wnt signal, and we show that the dependence of
axin degradation on APC is an essential part of an
unappreciated regulatory loop that prevents the accumulation of
beta-catenin at decreased APC concentrations. By applying
control analysis to our mathematical model, we demonstrate the
modular design, sensitivity, and robustness of the Wnt pathway
and derive an explicit expression for tumor suppression and
oncogenicity.

Project description:Dysregulated Wnt signalling is seen in approximately 30% of hepatocellular cancers, thus finding pathways downstream of activation of Wnt signalling is key. Using cre lox technology we have deleted the the adenomatous polyposis coli tumour suppressor protein (Apc) within the adult mouse liver and observed a rapid increase in nuclear beta-catenin and C-Myc. This is associated with an induction of proliferation leading to hepatomegally within 4 days of gene deletion. To investigate the downstream pathways responsible for these phenotypes we analysed the impact of inactivating Apc in the context of deficiency of the potentially key effectors beta-catenin and c-Myc. beta-catenin loss rescues both the proliferation and hepatomegally phenotypes following Apc loss. However c-Myc deletion, which rescues the phenotypes of Apc loss in the intestine, had no effect on the phenotypes of Apc loss. The consequences of deregulation the Wnt pathway within the liver are therefore strikingly different to those observed within the intestine, with the vast majority of Wnt targets beta-catenin dependent but c-Myc independent in the liver.

Samples were collected from Genetcially modified mice of the genotypes indicated in the characteristics field. Gene recombination was induced using IP administration of beta-napthoflavone. Cohorts of samples were used to compare the affects of APC loss, cMYC loss and combined APC and cMYC loss in the liver (and compared to matched control samples in which the genes were not recombined).

Project description:APC is a key regulator of canonical Wnt signalling since it participates to beta-catenin targeting to proteasomal degradation when the pathway is inactive. Moreover, independently of Wnt signaling, APC regulates several cellular functions such as mycrotubule dynamics, chromosome segregation, cell adhesion. Although APC has been widely studied for its implication in initation and progression of several cancers, its role in satellite cells (skeletal muscle stem cells) has never been investigated. Here we used microarrays and to clarify APC functions and we identified several pathways and cellular processes to be affected following APC silencing.

Project description:Canonical Wnt signalling regulates the self-renewal of most if not all stem cell systems. In the blood system, the role of Wnt signalling has been subject of much debate, with positive and negative roles of Wnt signalling proposed for hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). As we have shown previously, this controversy can be largely explained by the effects of different dosages of Wnt signalling. What remained unclear however, was why high Wnt signals would lead to loss of reconstituting capacity. To better understand this phenomenon, we have taken advantage of a series of hypomorphic mutant Apc alleles resulting in a broad range of Wnt dosages in HSCs, purified those HSCs and performed whole genome gene expression analyses. Gene expression profiling and functional studies show that HSCs with APC mutations lead to high Wnt levels , enhanced differentiation and diminished proliferation, but have no effect on apoptosis, collectively leading to loss of stemness. Thus, we provide mechanistic insight into the role of APC mutations and Wnt signalling in HSC biology. As Wnt signals are explored in various in vivo and ex vivo expansion protocols for HSCs, our findings also have clinical ramifications. To investigate the effects of Wnt signals in hematopoietic cells, mice carrying floxed Apc or hypomorphic Apc mutants were crossed, LSK cells were isolated and treated with Cre IRES GFP gamma-retrovirus ex vivo, GFP+ cells were sorted and RNA expression was determined.

Project description:BACKGROUND: p53 is an important tumor suppressor with a known role in the later stages of colorectal cancer, but its relevance to the early stages of neoplastic initiation remains somewhat unclear. Although p53-dependent regulation of Wnt signalling activity is known to occur, the importance of these regulatory mechanisms during the early stages of intestinal neoplasia has not been demonstrated. METHODS: We have conditionally deleted the Adenomatous Polyposis coli gene (Apc) from the adult murine intestine in wild type and p53 deficient environments and subsequently compared the phenotype and transcriptome profiles in both genotypes. RESULTS: Expression of p53 was shown to be elevated following the conditional deletion of Apc in the adult small intestine. Furthermore, p53 status was shown to impact on the transcription profile observed following Apc loss. A number of key Wnt pathway components and targets were altered in the p53 deficient environment. However, the aberrant phenotype observed following loss of Apc (rapid nuclear localisation of beta-catenin, increased levels of DNA damage, nuclear atypia, perturbed cell death, proliferation, differentiation and migration) was not significantly altered by the absence of p53. CONCLUSION: p53 related feedback mechanisms regulating Wnt signalling activity are present in the intestine, and become activated following loss of Apc. However, the physiological Wnt pathway regulation by p53 appears to be overwhelmed by Apc loss and consequently the activity of these regulatory mechanisms is not sufficient to modulate the immediate phenotypes seen following Apc loss. Thus we are able to provide an explanation to the apparent contradiction that, despite having a Wnt regulatory capacity, p53 loss is not associated with early lesion development. Samples were collected from genetically modified mice. Gene recombination was induced using IP administration of beta-napthoflavone.

Project description:Brg1 has been reported to act as a trans-activator for the Wnt pathway by interacting with beta-catenin. Given this interaction and the crucial role Wnt signalling plays in the intestinal homeostasis, we aimed to investigate the effect of Brg1 loss on gene expression in normal and Wnt activated small intestinal epithelium. We used VillinCreERT2 Cre recombinase and loxP targeted allels of Brg1 and Apc to generate 4 cohorts of conditional knock-out mice: Cre-negative controls (n=4), Brg1 deficient (n=4), Apc deficient (n=3) and double Brg1-Apc deficient (n=4). All mice were induced by 4x80mg/kg daily injections of Tamoxifen. Epithelium enriched (gut scrapes) samples of small intestine (jejunum) were collected at day 4 post induction. Loss of Brg1 expression in the small intestinal epithelium at this time point was confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

Project description:Vil-CreERT2 was used to drive loss of APC (Adenomatous polyposis coli) in the murine intestinal epithelium. 4 days post induction, mice were sampled and 1cm of tissue from the proximal intestine was collected into RNA later. This was compared to control (wild-type) intestine. This analysis allows investigation of transcriptional changes following APC loss (and therefore activation of the WNT signalling pathway).
