RESUMO

Differential usage of Kat3 coactivators, CBP and p300, by ß-catenin is a fundamental regulatory mechanism in stem cell maintenance and initiation of differentiation and repair. Based upon our earlier pharmacologic studies, p300 serine 89 (S89) is critical for controlling differential coactivator usage by ß-catenin via post-translational phosphorylation in stem/progenitor populations, and appears to be a target for a number of kinase cascades. To further investigate mechanisms of signal integration effected by this domain, we generated p300 S89A knock-in mice. We show that S89A mice are extremely sensitive to intestinal insult resulting in colitis, which is known to significantly increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer. We demonstrate cell intrinsic differences, and microbiome compositional differences and differential immune responses, in intestine of S89A versus wild type mice. Genomic and proteomic analyses reveal pathway differences, including lipid metabolism, oxidative stress response, mitochondrial function and oxidative phosphorylation. The diverse effects on fundamental processes including epithelial differentiation, metabolism, immune response and microbiome colonization, all brought about by a single amino acid modification S89A, highlights the critical role of this region in p300 as a signaling nexus and the rationale for conservation of this residue and surrounding region for hundreds of million years of vertebrate evolution.

RESUMO

Normal long-term repopulating somatic stem cells (SSCs) preferentially divide asymmetrically, with one daughter cell remaining in the niche and the other going on to be a transient amplifying cell required for generating new tissue in homeostatic maintenance and repair processes, whereas cancer stem cells (CSCs) favor symmetric divisions. We have previously proposed that differential ß-catenin modulation of transcriptional activity via selective interaction with either the Kat3 coactivator CBP or its closely related paralog p300, regulates symmetric versus asymmetric division in SSCs and CSCs. We have previously demonstrated that SSCs that divide asymmetrically per force retain one of the dividing daughter cells in the stem cell niche, even when treated with specific CBP/ß-catenin antagonists, whereas CSCs can be removed from their niche via forced stochastic symmetric differentiative divisions. We now demonstrate that loss of p73 in early corticogenesis biases ß-catenin Kat3 coactivator usage and enhances ß-catenin/CBP transcription at the expense of ß-catenin/p300 transcription. Biased ß-catenin coactivator usage has dramatic consequences on the mode of division of neural stem cells (NSCs), but not neurogenic progenitors. The observed increase in symmetric divisions due to enhanced ß-catenin/CBP interaction and transcription leads to an immediate increase in NSC symmetric differentiative divisions. Moreover, we demonstrate for the first time that the complex phenotype caused by the loss of p73 can be rescued in utero by treatment with the small-molecule-specific CBP/ß-catenin antagonist ICG-001. Taken together, our results demonstrate the causal relationship between the choice of ß-catenin Kat3 coactivator and the mode of stem cell division.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The ancient and highly evolutionarily conserved Wnt signaling pathway is critical in nearly all tissues and organs for an organism to develop normally from embryo through adult. Wnt signaling is generally parsed into "canonical" or Wnt-ß-catenin-dependent or "non-canonical" ß-catenin-independent signaling. Even though designating Wnt signaling as either canonical or noncanonical allows for easier conceptual discourse about this signaling pathway, in fact canonical and non-canonical Wnt crosstalk regulates complex nonlinear networks. OBJECTIVE: In this perspective, we discuss the integration of canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling via differential Kat3 (CBP and p300) coactivator usage, thereby regulating and coordinating gene expression programs associated with both proliferation and cellular differentiation and morphogenesis. METHODS: Pharmacologic inhibitors, cell culture, real-time PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation, protein immunoprecipitation, Western blotting, reporter-luciferase, protein purification, site-directed mutagenesis, in vitro phosphorylation and binding assays, and immunofluorescence were utilized. CONCLUSION: Coordinated integration between both canonical and non-canonical Wnt pathways appears to be crucial not only in the control of fundamental morphologic processes but also in the regulation of normal as well as pathologic events. Such integration between both canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling is presumably effected via reversible phosphorylation mechanism (e.g., protein kinase C) to regulate differential ß -catenin/Kat3 coactivator usage in order to coordinate proliferation with differentiation and adhesion.

RESUMO

Over 400 million years ago, the evolution of vertebrates gave rise to a life cycle in which the organism began to live longer particularly as an adult. To accommodate such a longer lifespan, the organism underwent adaptation, developing a mechanism for long-lived cellular homeostasis. This adaptation required a population of long-lived relatively quiescent somatic stem cells (SSCs) along with a more proliferative differentiated daughter cell population, and was necessary to safeguard the genetic attributes with which SSCs were endowed. Intriguingly, cAMP response element binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP) and E1A-binding protein, 300 kDa (p300), the highly homologous Kat3 coactivators had diverged, through duplication of ancestral Kat3, immediately preceding the evolution of vertebrates, given that both CBP and p300 have been detected in nearly all vertebrates versus non-vertebrates. We now demonstrate that a relatively small, highly evolutionarily conserved, amino terminal 9 amino acid deletion in CBP versus p300, plays a critical role in allowing for both robust maintenance of genomic integrity in stem cells and the initiation of a feed-forward differentiation mechanism by tightly controlling the interaction of the nuclear receptor family with the Wnt signaling cascade in either an antagonistic or synergistic manner.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although canonical Wnt signaling is known to promote tumorigenesis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a cancer driven principally by mutant K-Ras, the detailed molecular mechanisms by which the Wnt effector ß-catenin regulates such tumorigenesis are largely unknown. We have previously demonstrated that ß-catenin's differential usage of the Kat3 transcriptional coactivator cyclic AMP-response element binding protein-binding protein (CBP) over its highly homologous coactivator p300 increases self-renewal and suppresses differentiation in other types of cancer. AIM/METHODS: To investigate Wnt-mediated carcinogenesis in PDAC, we have used the specific small molecule CBP/ß-catenin antagonist, ICG-001, which our lab identified and has extensively characterized, to examine its effects in human pancreatic cancer cells and in both an orthotopic mouse model and a human patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of PDAC. RESULTS/CONCLUSION: We report for the first time that K-Ras activation increases the CBP/ß-catenin interaction in pancreatic cancer; and that ICG-001 specific antagonism of the CBP/ß-catenin interaction sensitizes pancreatic cancer cells and tumors to gemcitabine treatment. These effects were associated with increases in the expression of let-7a microRNA; suppression of K-Ras and survivin; and the elimination of drug-resistant cancer stem/tumor-initiating cells.

RESUMO

The role of Hedgehog signaling in human basal cell hyperplasia formation and its progressing towards tumorigenesis was investigated. Hedgehog signaling members including PTCH1, GLI1, GLI2, and GLI3 were found co-localized with p63 expression in most hyperplastic basal cells, but rarely in normal basal cells, suggesting Hedgehog involvement in basal cell hyperplasia formation. Both CK-14 and CK-8 markers were found co-localized in the majority of hyperplastic basal cells, but relatively few in the normal basal cells, indicating a Hedgehog-promoted transitory differentiation. Furthermore, CK-14 and PTCH1 were found co-localized with CD44 in the hyerplastic basal cells, in a way similar to the CD44 co-localization with PTCH1 and GLI1 in the cancer cells. Together, the present study indicated Hedgehog involvement in forming basal cell hyperplasia and its progressing towards cancer, presumably by transforming the normal basal stem cells into the cancer stem cells where persistent Hedgehog activation might be mandatory for tumorigenesis.
