EXPLORATION OF TARGETED ANTI-TUMOR THERAPY 2021; 2:543-575. [PMID: 36046118 PMCID: PMC9400700 DOI: 10.37349/etat.2021.00063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: To investigate alterations in transcription of genes, encoding Ca2+ toolkit proteins, in oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) and to assess associations between gene expression, tumor grade, nodal-metastatic stage, and patient survival. Methods: The expression of 275 transcripts, encoding components of the Ca2+ toolkit, was analyzed in two OAC datasets: the Cancer Genome Atlas [via the University of Alabama Cancer (UALCAN) portal] and the oesophageal-cancer, clinical, and molecular stratification [Oesophageal Cancer Clinical and Molecular Stratification (OCCAMS)] dataset. Effects of differential expression of these genes on patient survival were determined using Kaplan-Meier log-rank tests. OAC grade- and metastatic-stage status was investigated for a subset of genes. Adjustment for the multiplicity of testing was made throughout. Results: Of the 275 Ca2+-toolkit genes analyzed, 75 displayed consistent changes in expression between OAC and normal tissue in both datasets. The channel-encoding genes, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2D (GRIN2D), transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channel classical or canonical 4 (TRPC4), and TRP ion channel melastatin 2 (TRPM2) demonstrated the greatest increase in expression in OAC in both datasets. Nine genes were consistently upregulated in both datasets and were also associated with improved survival outcomes. The 6 top-ranking genes for the weighted significance of altered expression and survival outcomes were selected for further analysis: voltage-gated Ca2+ channel subunit α 1D (CACNA1D), voltage-gated Ca2+ channel auxiliary subunit α2 δ4 (CACNA2D4), junctophilin 1 (JPH1), acid-sensing ion channel 4 (ACCN4), TRPM5, and secretory pathway Ca2+ ATPase 2 (ATP2C2). CACNA1D, JPH1, and ATP2C2 were also upregulated in advanced OAC tumor grades and nodal-metastatic stages in both datasets. Conclusions: This study has unveiled alterations of the Ca2+ toolkit in OAC, compared to normal tissue. Such Ca2+ signalling findings are consistent with those from studies on other cancers. Genes that were consistently upregulated in both datasets might represent useful markers for patient diagnosis. Genes that were consistently upregulated, and which were associated with improved survival, might be useful markers for patient outcome. These survival-associated genes may also represent targets for the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME) is vital for the occurrence and development of breast cancer (BRCA). However, it remains challenging to understand the dynamic modulation of the stromal and immune components comprehensively in TME. Herein, we used ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT algorithm to estimate the number of stromal and immune components and the abundance of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TICs) in 582 BRCA cases from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. We employed three regression models including univariable Cox proportion, LASSO regression model and multivariate Cox regression, and identified 7 immune-specific genes related to BRCA survival. Of 7 genes, ATPase Secretory Pathway Ca2+ Transporting 2 (ATP2C2) attracts our attention for significantly predicting prognosis of BRCA patients. Further analysis indicated that ATP2C2 expression was closely related to the clinicopathological features (age, T- and N-staging) and negatively correlated with patients' survival in BRCA. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed to reveal pathway enrichment between ATP2C2high and ATP2C2low groups. The low ATP2C2 expression groups' genes were mainly enriched for immune-related activities, while those in the ATP2C2 high-expression group were largely enriched in metabolic-related pathways. Notably, Pearson's correlation analysis identified that ATP2C2 expression was positively correlated with T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, and negatively correlated with gamma delta (γδ) T cell, suggesting that ATP2C2 might be accountable for the maintenance of immune-dominant status for TME. To sum up, this study comprehensively analyzed the TME and shed light on prognostic immune-related biomarkers for BRCA. In particular, ATP2C2 might be helpful for predicting the prognosis of BRCA patients, which provided an extra insight for BRCA treatment.

Abstract
In recent decades cancer emerged as one of the leading causes of death in the developed countries, with some types of cancer contributing to the top 10 causes of death on the list of the World Health Organization. Carcinogenesis, a malignant transformation causing formation of tumors in normal tissues, is associated with changes in the cell cycle caused by suppression of signaling pathways leading to cell death and facilitation of those enhancing proliferation. Further progression of cancer, during which benign tumors acquire more aggressive phenotypes, is characterized by metastatic dissemination through the body driven by augmented motility and invasiveness of cancer cells. All these processes are associated with alterations in calcium homeostasis in cancer cells, which promote their proliferation, motility and invasion, and dissuade cell death or cell cycle arrest. Remodeling of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE), one of the major pathways regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), manifests a key event in many of these processes. This review systematizes current knowledge on the mechanisms recruiting SOCE-related proteins in carcinogenesis and cancer progression.

Abstract
Simple Summary Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The advancements in 3D tumour models provide in vitro test-beds to study cancer growth, metastasis and response to therapy. We conducted this systematic review on existing experimental studies in order to identify and summarize key biomimetic tumour microenvironmental features which affect aspects of cancer biology. The review noted the significance of in vitro hypoxia and 3D tumour models on epithelial to mesenchymal transition, drug resistance, invasion and migration of cancer cells. We highlight the importance of various experimental parameters used in these studies and their subsequent effects on cancer cell behaviour. Abstract The development of biomimetic, human tissue models is recognized as being an important step for transitioning in vitro research findings to the native in vivo response. Oftentimes, 2D models lack the necessary complexity to truly recapitulate cellular responses. The introduction of physiological features into 3D models informs us of how each component feature alters specific cellular response. We conducted a systematic review of research papers where the focus was the introduction of key biomimetic features into in vitro models of cancer, including 3D culture and hypoxia. We analysed outcomes from these and compiled our findings into distinct groupings to ascertain which biomimetic parameters correlated with specific responses. We found a number of biomimetic features which primed cancer cells to respond in a manner which matched in vivo response.

Abstract
Exocytic and endocytic compartments each have their own unique luminal ion and pH environment that is important for their normal functioning. A failure to maintain this environment - the loss of homeostasis - is not uncommon. In the worst case, all the main Golgi functions, including glycosylation, membrane trafficking and protein sorting, can be perturbed. Several factors contribute to Golgi homeostasis. These include not only ions such as H+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, but also Golgi redox state and nitric oxide (NO) levels, both of which are dependent on the oxygen levels in the cells. Changes to any one of these factors have consequences on Golgi functions, the nature of which can be dissimilar or similar depending upon the defects themselves. For example, altered Golgi pH homeostasis gives rise to Cutis laxa disease, in which glycosylation and membrane trafficking are both affected, while altered Ca2+ homeostasis due to the mutated SCPA1 gene in Hailey-Hailey disease, perturbs various protein sorting, proteolytic cleavage and membrane trafficking events in the Golgi. This review gives an overview of the molecular machineries involved in the maintenance of Golgi ion, pH and redox homeostasis, followed by a discussion of the organelle dysfunction and disease that frequently result from their breakdown. Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are discussed only when they contribute directly to Golgi pH, ion or redox homeostasis. Current evidence emphasizes that, rather than being mere supporting factors, Golgi pH, ion and redox homeostasis are in fact key players that orchestrate and maintain all Golgi functions.

Mol Cancer Res 2019; 17:1735-1747.

Abstract
Progression of benign tumors to invasive, metastatic cancer is accompanied by the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), characterized by loss of the cell-adhesion protein E-cadherin. Although silencing mutations and transcriptional repression of the E-cadherin gene have been widely studied, not much is known about posttranslational regulation of E-cadherin in tumors. We show that E-cadherin is tightly coexpressed with the secretory pathway Ca2+-ATPase isoform 2, SPCA2 (ATP2C2), in breast tumors. Loss of SPCA2 impairs surface expression of E-cadherin and elicits mesenchymal gene expression through disruption of cell adhesion in tumorspheres and downstream Hippo-YAP signaling. Conversely, ectopic expression of SPCA2 in triple-negative breast cancer elevates baseline Ca2+ and YAP phosphorylation, enhances posttranslational expression of E-cadherin, and suppresses mesenchymal gene expression. Thus, loss of SPCA2 phenocopies loss of E-cadherin in the Hippo signaling pathway and EMT-MET transitions, consistent with a functional role for SPCA2 in E-cadherin biogenesis. Furthermore, we show that SPCA2 suppresses invasive phenotypes, including cell migration in vitro and tumor metastasis in vivo. Based on these findings, we propose that SPCA2 functions as a key regulator of EMT and may be a potential therapeutic target for treatment of metastatic cancer. IMPLICATIONS: Posttranslational control of E-cadherin and the Hippo pathway by calcium signaling regulates EMT in breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) is a master transcription factor that induces the transcription of genes involved in the metabolism and behavior of stem cells. HIF1-mediated adaptation to hypoxia is required to maintain the pluripotency and survival of stem cells under hypoxic conditions. HIF1 activity is well known to be tightly controlled by the alpha subunit of HIF1 (HIF1α). Understanding the regulatory mechanisms that control HIF1 activity in stem cells will provide novel insights into stem cell biology under hypoxia. Recent research has unraveled the mechanistic details of HIF1α regulating processes, suggesting new strategies for regulating stem cells. This review summarizes recent experimental studies on the role of several regulatory factors (including calcium, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase, microtubule network, importin, and coactivators) in regulating HIF1α activity in stem cells.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Eukaryotic cells execute various functions in subcellular compartments or organelles for which cellular redox homeostasis is of importance. Apart from mitochondria, hypoxia and stress-mediated formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were shown to modulate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus (GA) functions. Recent Advances: Research during the last decade has improved our understanding of disulfide bond formation, protein glycosylation and secretion, as well as pH and redox homeostasis in the ER and GA. Thus, oxygen (O2) itself, NADPH oxidase (NOX) formed ROS, and pH changes appear to be of importance and indicate the intricate balance of intercompartmental communication. CRITICAL ISSUES Although the interplay between hypoxia, ER stress, and Golgi function is evident, the existence of more than 20 protein disulfide isomerase family members and the relative mild phenotypes of, for example, endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductin 1 (ERO1)- and NOX4-knockout mice clearly suggest the existence of redundant and alternative pathways, which remain largely elusive. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The identification of these pathways and the key players involved in intercompartmental communication needs suitable animal models, genome-wide association, as well as proteomic studies in humans. The results of those studies will be beneficial for the understanding of the etiology of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer, which are associated with ROS, protein aggregation, and glycosylation defects.

Abstract
Molecular oxygen (O2) is a key player in cell mitochondrial function, redox balance and oxidative stress, normal tissue function and many common disease states. Various chemical, physical and biological methods have been proposed for measurement, real-time monitoring and imaging of O2 concentration, state of decreased O2 (hypoxia) and related parameters in cells and tissue. Here, we review the established and emerging optical microscopy techniques allowing to visualize O2 levels in cells and tissue samples, mostly under in vitro and ex vivo, but also under in vivo settings. Particular examples include fluorescent hypoxia stains, fluorescent protein reporter systems, phosphorescent probes and nanosensors of different types. These techniques allow high-resolution mapping of O2 gradients in live or post-mortem tissue, in 2D or 3D, qualitatively or quantitatively. They enable control and monitoring of oxygenation conditions and their correlation with other biomarkers of cell and tissue function. Comparison of these techniques and corresponding imaging setups, their analytical capabilities and typical applications are given.

Abstract
Members of the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (NRAMP) family are evolutionarily conserved metal ion transporters that play an essential role in regulating intracellular divalent cation homeostasis in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Malvolio (Mvl), the sole NRAMP family member in insects, plays a role in food choice behaviors in Drosophila and other species. However, the specific physiological and cellular processes that require the action of Mvl for appropriate feeding decisions remain elusive. Here, we show that normal food choice requires Mvl function specifically in the dopaminergic system, and can be rescued by supplementing food with manganese. Collectively, our data indicate that the action of the Mvl transporter affects food choice behavior via the regulation of dopaminergic innervation of the mushroom bodies, a principle brain region associated with decision-making in insects. Our studies suggest that the homeostatic regulation of the intraneuronal levels of divalent cations plays an important role in the development and function of the dopaminergic system and associated behaviors.

Abstract
The interplay between Ca2+ and reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling pathways is well established, with reciprocal regulation occurring at a number of subcellular locations. Many Ca2+ channels at the cell surface and intracellular organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria are regulated by redox modifications. In turn, Ca2+ signaling can influence the cellular generation of ROS, from sources such as NADPH oxidases and mitochondria. This relationship has been explored in great depth during the process of apoptosis, where surges of Ca2+ and ROS are important mediators of cell death. More recently, coordinated and localized Ca2+ and ROS transients appear to play a major role in a vast variety of pro-survival signaling pathways that may be crucial for both physiological and pathophysiological functions. While much work is required to firmly establish this Ca2+-ROS relationship in cancer, existing evidence from other disease models suggests this crosstalk is likely of significant importance in tumorigenesis. In this review, we describe the regulation of Ca2+ channels and transporters by oxidants and discuss the potential consequences of the ROS-Ca2+ interplay in tumor cells.
