    Abstract: The role of Notch signaling in cervical cancer is seemingly controversial. To confirm the function of Notch signaling in this type of cancer, we established a stable Notch1-activated cervical cancer HeLa cell line. We found that Notch1 activation resulted in apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and tumor suppression. At the molecular level, we found that a variety of genes associated with cyclic AMP, G protein-coupled receptor, and cancer signaling pathways contributed to Notch1-mediated tumor suppression. We observed that the expression of somatostatin (SST) was dramatically induced by Notch1 signaling activation, which was accompanied by enhanced expression of the cognate SST receptor subtype 1 (SSTR1) and SSTR2. Certain genes, such as tumor protein 63 (TP63, p63), were upregulated, whereas others, such as B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2), Myc, Akt, and STAT3, were downregulated. Subsequently, knockdown of Notch1-induced SST reversed Notch1-induced decrease of BCL-2 and increase of p63, indicating that Notch1-induced tumor suppression may be partly through upregulating SST signaling. Our findings support a possible crosstalk between Notch signaling and SST signaling. Moreover, Notch-induced SSTR activation could enhance SSTR-targeted cancer chemotherapy. Valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, suppressed cell growth and upregulated the expression of Notch1 and SSTR2. A combination therapy with VPA and the SSTR2-targeting cytotoxic conjugate CPT-SST strongly led to greater suppression, as compared to each alone. Our findings thus provide us with a promising clinical opportunity for enhanced cancer therapy using combinations of Notch1-activating agents and SSTR2-targeting agents.

    Abstract: Chimeric oncoproteins created by chromosomal translocations are among the most common genetic mutations associated with tumorigenesis. Malignant mucoepidermoid salivary gland tumors, as well as a growing number of solid epithelial-derived tumors, can arise from a recurrent t (11, 19)(q21;p13.1) translocation that generates an unusual chimeric cAMP response element binding protein (CREB)-regulated transcriptional coactivator 1 (CRTC1)/mastermind-like 2 (MAML2) (C1/M2) oncoprotein comprised of two transcriptional coactivators, the CRTC1 and the NOTCH/RBPJ coactivator MAML2. Accordingly, the C1/M2 oncoprotein induces aberrant expression of CREB and NOTCH target genes. Surprisingly, here we report a gain-of-function activity of the C1/M2 oncoprotein that directs its interactions with myelocytomatosis oncogene (MYC) proteins and the activation of MYC transcription targets, including those involved in cell growth and metabolism, survival, and tumorigenesis. These results were validated in human mucoepidermoid tumor cells that harbor the t (11, 19)(q21;p13.1) translocation and express the C1/M2 oncoprotein. Notably, the C1/M2–MYC interaction is necessary for C1/M2-driven cell transformation, and the C1/M2 transcriptional signature predicts other human malignancies having combined involvement of MYC and CREB . These findings suggest that such gain-of-function properties may also be manifest in other oncoprotein fusions found in human cancer and that agents targeting the C1/M2–MYC interface represent an attractive strategy for the development of effective and safe anticancer therapeutics in tumors harboring the t (11, 19) translocation.

    Abstract: Abstract 2375 The Notch signaling pathway is evolutionally conserved and has crucial roles in the control of fate decision and differentiation in numerous cell types. Although Notch1 is continuously expressed in differentiation myeloid cells, the role of Notch1 signaling in regulating differentiation remains controversial. Here, we enhanced and/or suppressed Notch signaling in myeloblasts and then determined the effects of Notch signaling modulation on granulocytic differentiation. Specifically, we first transduced myeloblastic 32D and HL60 cells with retroviruses that express the intracellular domain of Notch1 (ICN1; pMSCV-ICN1-IRES-GFP) to activate Notch1 signaling, or alternatively expressed a dominant-negative form of Mastermind-like 1 (DNMAML1; pMSCV-DNMAML1-GFP) to inhibit Notch signaling. Then the transduced (GFP+) and untransduced (GFP-) cells were induced into granulocytic differentiation using G-CSF for 32D cells and ATRA for HL60 cells. The degree of granulocytic differentiation was then assessed by flow cytometric analysis of surface expression of CD11b, a marker of granulocytic lineage. We found that the percentage of differentiated cells (CD11bhigh for 32D and CD11b+ for HL60) in the ICN1 expressing (GFP+) group was significantly (p 〈 0.05) lower than that in the control (GFP-) group for most time-points that we examined, whereas the difference in the proportion of differentiated cells between DNMAML1 expressing (GFP+) and control (GFP-) groups was not statistically significant. These data suggest that forced activation of Notch1 signaling inhibits granulocytic differentiation, whereas endogenous Notch1 signaling appears not to have a major role in granulocytic maturation in these cell lines. Next, We further studied the role of Notch1 signaling in granulopoiesis by first activating Notch1 signaling in 32D cells by stable expression of exogenous ICN1 followed by Notch inhibition via DNMAML1 expression within the same cells. The subsequent four sub-populations of 32D cells termed as Vec/GFP (control), Vec/DNMAML1 (cells with endogenous Notch signaling blocked by DNMAML1, ICN1/GFP (cells with activating Notch1), and ICN1/DNMAML1 (cells with activating Notch1 followed by Notch signaling inhibition) were then cultured with G-CSF and evaluated for differentiation by CD11b staining. We found that on days 6 and 8 after the induction of differentiation, the proportion of differentiated (CD11bhigh) cells in ICN1/GFP was significantly (p 〈 0.05) lower than those in the other sub-populations, supporting that ICN1 inhibits granulocytic differentiation of 32D cells. On the other hand, the difference in the proportion of differentiated cells between the other 3 sub-populations was not statistically significant at any time-points, suggesting that DNMAML1 reverses the phenotype induced by activated Notch1 and that endogenous Notch1 signaling may have no effect on granulocytic maturation. Real-time RT-PCR analysis of cytoplasmic expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO) indicated that the MPO expression reached maximal level by day 2 in control (Vec/GFP) cells, the peak was delayed until day 5 in ICN1/GFP cells. The peak expression was observed on day 3 in both Vec/DNMAML1 and ICN1/DNMAML1 cells, indicating that ICN1 represses or delays granulocytic differentiation and that DNMAML1 partially neutralizes such a phenotype. Furthermore, morphological analysis, viable cell count, and cell cycle analysis revealed that a subset of ICN1/GFP cells remained myeloblastic with proliferative capacity after the induction of granulocytic differentiation, supporting the idea that ICN1 inhibits granulocytic differentiation. Our data indicate that Notch1 signaling activation suppresses granulocytic differentiation, and maintains a part of myeloid progenitor cells at the immature stage. Therefore, it suggests that aberrant Notch1 signaling could support the granulocytic transformation and the maintenance of the malignant phenotype.

    Abstract: Inactivation of the liver kinase B1 (LKB1) gene by somatic mutation is a common event in lung adenocarcinoma. LKB1 was first identified as a tumor suppressor responsible for Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and up regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was detected in a significant percentage of human PJS polyps. In addition, COX-2 has been proposed as a therapeutic target for lung cancer although clinical trial using COX-2 inhibitors have been disappointing. In the current study, we identified a novel LKB1/CRTC/COX-2 molecular pathway in human lung cancer cells and provided new information for clinical use of COX-2 inhibitors. The Kaye lab cloned the CREB-regulated transcription co-activators (CRTCs) and showed aberrant phosphorylation and activation of CRTC1 exclusively in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) samples carrying LKB1 null mutations. We have now demonstrated that CRTC directly regulates COX-2 expression via evolutionarily conserved CRE sites within the promoter. In addition, we observed that ectopic expression of LKB1 resulted in nuclear export of phosphorylated CRTC with attenuation of COX-2 expression. Alternatively, LKB1 knock-down results in CRTC activation and promotes COX-2 expression in NSCLC cells. Importantly, LKB1 null lung cancer cells were preferentially sensitive to COX-2 inhibitors. In summary, our data defines a CRTCs-mediated transcriptional regulatory mechanism for COX-2 activity in cancer and proposes a possible clinical application of COX-2 inhibitors in patients with lung tumors carrying somatic LKB1 null mutations.

    Abstract: The key nuclear export protein CRM1 (chromosomal region maintenance 1, Exportin 1, XPO1) may directly contribute to the pathophysiology of human multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we characterized the role of CRM1 in MM biology and defined the efficacy and molecular mechanisms of novel oral, irreversible, selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINEs) targeting CRM1 against MM. CRM1 is significantly elevated in patient MM vs. normal plasma cells at transcript and protein levels. CRM1 downregulation by shCRM1 lentiviruses inhibited cell growth and survival of MM cells (p & lt; 0.01). Importantly, SINEs (KPT-185, KPT-251, KPT-276, and KPT-330) blocked proliferation and decreased survival of MM cell lines and patient MM cells (LD50 2-log differences). SINEs potently enhanced nuclear accumulation of multiple CRM1 cargo tumor suppressor proteins, including rapid induction of p53 and IκB (as early as 2h after drug treatment) followed by FOXO1A, FOXO3A, p27, and PP2A in MM cells. Transcripts of p53 and its downstream targets (p21, PUMA, BAX) were induced by KPT-185, thereby inducing strong growth arrest and apoptosis. KPT-185 decreased MM oncogenes (c-myc, c-maf), anti-apoptosis molecules Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL; increased pro-apoptotic protein BAX; as well as inhibited pIκBα. Inhibition of pIκBα further correlated with KPT-185-blocked NFκB p65 DNA-binding activity in MM cells with or without A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL) stimulation. KPT-185 further downregulated CRM1 protein, which was blocked by bortezomib; concurrently, KPT-185 (or KPT-330) upregulated CRM1 mRNA in MM cells. Cleavage of caspase 3 and PARP was markedly increased in MM1R cells treated with KPT-185 and bortezomib vs. either drug alone, confirming enhanced cytotoxicity by combination of these agents. Combined dex with KPT-185 (or KPT-276) induced synergistic cytotoxicity against MM cells (combination indices & lt; 1). Moreover, KPT-185 and KPT-330 impaired osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption via blockade of RANKL-induced NFκB activation and NFATc1 in OC precursor cells, without impacting osteoblasts and BMSCs. Finally, SINEs (KPT-251 and KPT-276) suppressed MM cell growth (p & lt; 0.01), diminished MM cell-induced osteolysis, and prolonged survival of SCID mice with diffuse human MM bone lesions. Together, these results identify CRM1 as a promising novel target in MM, strongly supporting clinical development of SINE CRM1 inhibitors to inhibit both MM cell growth and related bone disease. The oral SINE KPT-330 is ongoing in MM and other hematological malignancies.

    Abstract: Salivary gland tumors (SGT) are a group of highly heterogeneous head and neck malignancies with widely varied clinical outcomes and no standard effective treatments. The CRTC1-MAML2 gene fusion, encoded by a recurring chromosomal translocation t(11;19)(q14-21;p12-13), is a highly specific genetic alteration in more than 50% of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), the most common malignant SGT. In this study, we aimed to define the role of the CRTC1-MAML2 oncogene in the maintenance of MEC tumor growth and to investigate critical downstream target genes and pathways for therapeutic targeting of MEC. By performing gene expression analyses and functional studies via RNA interference and pharmacological modulation, we determined the importance of the CRTC1-MAML2 fusion gene and its downstream AREG-EGFR signaling in human MEC cancer cell growth ad survival in vitro and in vivo using human MEC xenograft models. We found that CRTC1-MAML2 fusion oncogene was required for the growth and survival of fusion-positive human MEC cancer cells in vitro and the in vivo. CRTC1-MAML2 induced the up-regulation of the EGFR ligand AREG by co-activating the transcription factor CREB and AREG subsequently activated EGFR signaling in an autocrine manner that promoted MEC cell growth and survival. Importantly, CRTC1-MAML2-positive MEC cells were highly sensitive to EGFR signaling inhibition. Therefore, our study revealed that aberrantly activated AREG-EGFR signaling is required for CRTC1-MAML2-positive MEC cell growth and survival, suggesting that EGFR-targeted therapies will benefit patients with unresectable CRTC1-MAML2-positive MEC.

    Abstract: Muscular dystrophies are a group of devastating diseases characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration, with etiologies including muscle gene mutations and regenerative defects of muscle stem cells. Notch signaling is critical for skeletal myogenesis and has important roles in maintaining the muscle stem cell pool and preventing premature muscle differentiation. To investigate the functional impact of Notch signaling blockade in muscle stem cells, we developed a conditional knock-in mouse model in which endogenous Notch signaling is specifically blocked in muscle stem cell compartment. Mice with Notch signaling inhibition in muscle stem cells showed several muscular dystrophic features and impaired muscle regeneration. Analyses of satellite cells and isolated primary myoblasts revealed that Notch signaling blockade in muscle stem cells caused reduced activation and proliferation of satellite cells but enhanced differentiation of myoblasts. Our data thus indicate that Notch signaling controls processes that are critical to regeneration in muscular dystrophy, suggesting that Notch inhibitor therapies could have potential side effects on muscle functions.
