Quantitative proteomics identifies biomarkers to distinguish pulmonary from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas by immunohistochemistry. JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY CLINICAL RESEARCH 2021; 8:33-47. [PMID: 34647699 PMCID: PMC8682946 DOI: 10.1002/cjp2.244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2021] [Revised: 07/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The differentiation between a pulmonary metastasis and a newly developed squamous cell carcinoma of the lung in patients with prior head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is difficult due to a lack of biomarkers but is crucially important for the prognosis and therapy of the affected patient. By using high‐resolution mass spectrometry in combination with stable isotope labelling by amino acids in cell culture, we identified 379 proteins that are differentially expressed in squamous cell carcinomas of the lung and the head and neck. Of those, CAV1, CAV2, LGALS1, LGALS7, CK19, and UGDH were tested by immunohistochemistry on 194 tissue samples (98 lung and 96 HNSCCs). The combination of CAV1 and LGALS7 was able to distinguish the origin of the squamous cell carcinoma with high accuracy (area under the curve 0.876). This biomarker panel was tested on a cohort of 12 clinically classified lung tumours of unknown origin after HNSCC. Nine of those tumours were immunohistochemically classifiable.

Abstract
Metabolic phenotypes of cancer cells are heterogeneous and flexible as a tumor mass is a hurriedly evolving system capable of constant adaptation to oxygen and nutrient availability. The exact type of cancer metabolism arises from the combined effects of factors intrinsic to the cancer cells and factors proposed by the tumor microenvironment. As a result, a condition termed oncogenic metabolic symbiosis in which components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) promote tumor growth often occurs. Understanding how oncogenic metabolic symbiosis emerges and evolves is crucial for perceiving tumorigenesis. The process by which tumor cells reprogram their TME involves many mechanisms, including changes in intercellular communication, alterations in metabolic phenotypes of TME cells, and rearrangement of the extracellular matrix. It is possible that one molecule with a pleiotropic effect such as Caveolin-1 may affect many of these pathways. Here, we discuss the significance of Caveolin-1 in establishing metabolic symbiosis in TME.

Abstract
Chronic lung diseases represent a largely global burden whose pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Research increasingly suggests that epigenetic modifications, especially DNA methylation, play a mechanistic role in chronic lung diseases. DNA methylation can affect gene expression and induce various diseases. Of the caveolae in plasma membrane of cell, caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is a crucial structural constituent involved in many important life activities. With the increasingly advanced progress of genome-wide methylation sequencing technologies, the important impact of Cav-1 DNA methylation has been discovered. The present review overviews the biological characters, functions, and structure of Cav-1; epigenetic modifications of Cav-1 in health and disease; expression and regulation of Cav-1 DNA methylation in the respiratory system and its significance; as well as clinical potential as disease-specific biomarker and targets for early diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Cell morphology and tissue integrity are essential for embryogenesis. Caveolins are membrane proteins that induce the formation of surface pits called caveolae that serve as membrane reservoirs for cell and tissue protection during development. In vertebrates, caveolin 1 (Cav1) and caveolin 3 (Cav3) are required for caveola formation. However, the formation of caveola and the function of caveolins in invertebrates are largely unknown. In this study, three caveolins, Cav-a, Cav-b, and CavY, are identified in the genome of the invertebrate chordate Ciona spp. Based on phylogenetic analysis, Cav-a is found to be closely related to the vertebrate Cav1 and Cav3. In situ hybridization shows that Cav-a is expressed in Ciona embryonic notochord and muscle. Cell-free experiments, model cell culture systems, and in vivo experiments demonstrate that Ciona Cav-a has the ability to induce membrane curvature at the plasma membrane. Knockdown of Cav-a in Ciona embryos causes loss of invaginations in the plasma membrane and results in the failure of notochord elongation and lumenogenesis. Expression of a dominant-negative Cav-a point mutation causes cells to change shape and become displaced from the muscle and notochord to disrupt tissue integrity. Furthermore, we demonstrate that Cav-a vesicles show polarized trafficking and localize at the luminal membrane during notochord lumenogenesis. Taken together, these results show that the invertebrate chordate caveolin from Ciona plays crucial roles in tissue integrity and morphology by inducing membrane curvature and intracellular vesicle trafficking during embryogenesis.

Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC)-δ1, activated by p122RhoGTPase-activating protein (GAP)/deleted in liver cancer-1 (p122RhoGAP/DLC-1), contributes to the coronary spastic angina (CSA) pathogenesis. The present study aims to further investigate the p122RhoGAP/DLC-1 protein. We examined molecules assisting this protein and identified a scaffold protein-IQ motif-containing GTPase-activating protein 1 (IQGAP1). IQGAP1-C binds to the steroidogenic acute regulatory-related lipid transfer (START) domain of p122RhoGAP/DLC-1, and PLC-δ1 binds to IQGAP1-N, forming a complex. In fluorescence microscopy, small dots of PLC-δ1 created fine linear arrays like microtubules, and IQGAP1 and p122RhoGAP/DLC-1 were colocated in the cytoplasm with PLC-δ1. Ionomycin induced the raft recruitment of the PLC-δ1, IQGAP1, and p122RhoGAP/DLC-1 complex by translocation to the plasma membrane (PM), indicating the movement of this complex is along microtubules with the motor protein kinesin. Moreover, the IQGAP1 protein was elevated in skin fibroblasts obtained from patients with CSA, and it enhanced the PLC activity and peak intracellular calcium concentration in response to acetylcholine. IQGAP1, a novel stimulating protein, forms a complex with p122RhoGAP/DLC-1 and PLC-δ1 that moves along microtubules and enhances the PLC activity.

Abstract
Reducing insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) extends lifespan, promotes protein homeostasis (proteostasis), and elevates stress resistance of worms, flies, and mammals. How these functions are orchestrated across the organism is only partially understood. Here, we report that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the IIS positively regulates the expression of caveolin-1 (cav-1), a gene which is primarily expressed in neurons of the adult worm and underlies the formation of caveolae, a subtype of lipid microdomains that serve as platforms for signaling complexes. Accordingly, IIS reduction lowers cav-1 expression and lessens the quantity of neuronal caveolae. Reduced cav-1 expression extends lifespan and mitigates toxic protein aggregation by modulating the expression of aging-regulating and signaling-promoting genes. Our findings define caveolae as aging-governing signaling centers and underscore the potential for cav-1 as a novel therapeutic target for the promotion of healthy aging.

Abstract
Caveolae, flask-like invaginations of the plasma membrane, were discovered nearly 60 years ago. Originally regarded as fixation artifacts of electron microscopy, the functional role for these structures has taken decades to unravel. The discovery of the caveolin protein in 1992 (by the late Richard G.W. Anderson) accelerated progress in defining the contribution of caveolae to cellular physiology and pathophysiology. The three isoforms of caveolin (caveolin-1, -2, and -3) are caveolae-resident structural and scaffolding proteins that are critical for the formation of caveolae and their localization of signaling entities. A PubMed search for "caveolae" reveals ∼280 publications from their discovery in the 1950s to the early 1990s, whereas a search for "caveolae or caveolin" after 1990, identifies ∼7000 entries. Most work on the regulation of biological responses by caveolae and caveolin since 1990 has focused on caveolae as plasma membrane microdomains and the function of caveolin proteins at the plasma membrane. By contrast, our recent work and that of others has explored the localization of caveolins in multiple cellular membrane compartments and in the regulation of intracellular signaling. Cellular organelles that contain caveolin include mitochondria, nuclei and the endoplasmic reticulum. Such intracellular localization allows for a complexity of responses to extracellular stimuli by caveolin and the possibility of novel organelle-targeted therapeutics. This review focuses on the impact of intracellular localization of caveolin on signal transduction and cell regulation.

Abstract
Sebaceous glands (SGs) undergo cyclic renewal independent of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) activation while HFSCs have the potential to differentiate into sebaceous gland cells, hair follicle and epidermal keratinocytes. Abnormalities of sebaceous gland progenitor cells contribute to the development of sebaceous neoplasms, but little is known about the role of HFSCs during sebaceous neoplasm development. Here, using dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA) plus 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment developing sebaceous neoplasms (SNs) were identified with H&E and Oil red O staining. And then the molecular expression and activation of HFSCs and was characterized by immunostaining. Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling molecular which is important for activation of HFSCs were detected by immunostaining. We found hair follicle and epidermal cell markers were expressed in sebaceous neoplasms. Furthermore, SOX-9 and CD34-positive HFSCs were located in the basal layer of sebaceous lobules within the sebaceous neoplasms. Many appear to be in an active state. Finally, Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling was activated within the basal cells of sebaceous lobules in the sebaceous neoplasms. Collectively, our findings suggest that the abnormal activation of both HFSCs and Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling involves in the development of sebaceous neoplasms.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine/threonine phosphotransferases ubiquitously expressed and involved in multiple cellular functions, such as proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. The C1 domain of PKC represents an attractive drug target, especially for developing PKC activators. Dialkyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)isophthalates are a novel group of synthetic C1 domain ligands that exhibit antiproliferative effect in HeLa cervical carcinoma cells. Here we selected two isophthalates, HMI-1a3 and HMI-1b11, and characterized their effects in the human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y. Both of the active isophthalates exhibited significant antiproliferative and differentiation-inducing effects. Since HMI-1b11 did not impair cell survival even at the highest concentration tested (20μM), and supported neurite growth and differentiation of SH-SY5Y cells, we focused on studying its downstream signaling cascades and effects on gene expression. Consistently, genome-wide gene expression microarray and gene set enrichment analysis indicated that HMI-1b11 (10μM) induced changes in genes mainly related to cell differentiation. In particular, further studies revealed that HMI-1b11 exposure induced up-regulation of GAP-43, a marker for neurite sprouting and neuronal differentiation. These effects were induced by a 7-min HMI-1b11 treatment and specifically depended on PKCα activation, since pretreatment with the selective inhibitor Gö6976 abolished the up-regulation of GAP-43 protein observed at 12h. In parallel, we found that a 7-min exposure to HMI-1b11 induced PKCα accumulation to the cytoskeleton, an effect that was again prevented by pretreatment with Gö6976. Despite similar binding affinities to PKC, the isophthalates had different effects on PKC-dependent ERK1/2 signaling: HMI-1a3-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation was transient, while HMI-1b11 induced a rapid but prolonged ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Overall our data are in accordance with previous studies showing that activation of the PKCα and ERK1/2 pathways participate in regulating neuronal differentiation. Furthermore, since PKC has been classified as one of the cognitive kinases, and activation of PKC is considered a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cognitive disorders, our findings suggest that HMI-1b11 represents a promising lead compound in research aimed to prevent or counteract memory impairment.

Abstract
Invadopodia are proteolytically active protrusions formed by invasive tumoural cells when grown on an extracellular matrix (ECM) substratum. Clearly, invadopodia are specialized membrane domains acting as sites of signal transduction and polarized delivery of components required for focalized ECM degradation. For these reasons, invadopodia are a model to study focal ECM degradation by tumour cells. We investigated the features of invadopodia membrane domains and how altering their composition would affect invadopodia biogenesis and function. This was achieved through multiple approaches including manipulation of the levels of cholesterol and other lipids at the plasma membrane, alteration of cholesterol trafficking by acting on caveolin 1 expression and phosphorylation. We show that cholesterol depletion impairs invadopodia formation and persistence, and that invadopodia themselves are cholesterol-rich membranes. Furthermore, the inhibition of invadopodia formation and ECM degradation after caveolin 1 knock-down was efficiently reverted by simple provision of cholesterol. In addition, the inhibitory effect of caveolin 3(DGV) expression, a mutant known to block cholesterol transport to the plasma membrane, was similarly reverted by provision of cholesterol. We suggest that invadopodia biogenesis, function and structural integrity rely on appropriate levels of plasma membrane cholesterol, and that invadopodia display the properties of cholesterol-rich membranes. Also, caveolin 1 exerts its function in invadopodia formation by regulating cholesterol balance at the plasma membrane. These findings support the connection between cholesterol, cancer and caveolin 1, provide further understanding of the role of cholesterol in cancer progression and suggest a mechanistic framework for the proposed anti-cancer activity of statins, tightly related to their blood cholesterol-lowering properties.

Abstract
Vasoconstriction and vascular medial hypertrophy, resulting from increased intracellular [Ca2+] in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC), contribute to elevated vascular resistance in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Caveolae, microdomains within the plasma membrane, contain the protein caveolin, which binds certain signaling molecules. We tested the hypothesis that PASMC from IPAH patients express more caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and caveolae, which contribute to increased capacitative Ca2+ entry (CCE) and DNA synthesis. Immunohistochemistry showed increased expression of Cav-1 in smooth muscle cells but not endothelial cells of pulmonary arteries from patients with IPAH. Subcellular fractionation and electron microscopy confirmed the increase in Cav-1 and caveolae expression in IPAH-PASMC. Treatment of IPAH-PASMC with agents that deplete membrane cholesterol (methyl-beta-cyclodextrin or lovastatin) disrupted caveolae, attenuated CCE, and inhibited DNA synthesis of IPAH-PASMC. Increasing Cav-1 expression of normal PASMC with a Cav-1-encoding adenovirus increased caveolae formation, CCE, and DNA synthesis; treatment of IPAH-PASMC with siRNA targeted to Cav-1 produced the opposite effects. Treatments that down-regulate caveolin/caveolae expression, including cholesterol-lowering drugs, reversed the increased CCE and DNA synthesis in IPAH-PASMC. Increased caveolin and caveolae expression thus contribute to IPAH-PASMC pathophysiology. The close relationship between caveolin/caveolae expression and altered cell physiology in IPAH contrast with previous results obtained in various animal models, including caveolin-knockout mice, thus emphasizing unique features of the human disease. The results imply that disruption of caveolae in PASMC may provide a novel therapeutic approach to attenuate disease manifestations of IPAH.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that activation of the protein kinase C (PKC) signalling pathway promoted morphological differentiation of GT1 hypothalamic neurones via an increase in beta-catenin, a cell-cell adhesion molecule, indicating a possible involvement of PKC in cellular motility. In this study, we explored the differential roles of PKC isoforms in GT1 cell migration. First, we transiently transfected GT1 cells with enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP)-tagged actin to monitor the dynamic rearrangement of filamentous-actin (F-actin) in living cells. Treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a PKC activator, markedly promoted lamellipodia formation, while safingol (a PKC alpha-selective inhibitor) blocked the TPA-induced lamellipodial actin structure. Both wound-healing and Boyden migration assays showed that TPA treatment promoted neuronal migration of GT1 cells; however, cotreatment of TPA with safingol or rottlerin (a PKC delta-selective inhibitor) clearly blocked this TPA effect, indicating that both PKC alpha and PKC delta may be positive regulators of neuronal migration. By contrast, PKC gamma-EGFP-expressing GT1 cells exhibited decreased cellular motility and weak staining for actin stress fibres, suggesting that PKC gamma may act as a negative mediator of cell migration in these neurones. Among the PKC downstream signal molecules, p130Cas, a mediator of cell migration, and its kinase, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), increased following TPA treatment; phosphorylation of p130Cas was induced in a PKC alpha-dependent manner. Together, these results demonstrate that PKC alpha promotes GT1 neuronal migration by activating focal adhesion complex proteins such as p130Cas and FAK.

Abstract
Two different, yet related issues regarding gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), i.e. the development and differentiation of hypothalamic GnRH neurons and the alternative RNA splicing of GnRH gene transcripts, are addressed in the present review. Using the immortalized GnRH-producing GT1 cell line, we found that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate induces morphological and functional differentiation of these neurons. Specific isoforms of PKC are involved in neurite growth, cell migration and synaptic contacts and involve different signaling pathways. Using an in vitro splicing assay with HeLa nuclear extract, we found that excision of the first intron of the GnRH primary transcript is attenuated in non-GnRH-producing cells, but not in GnRH-producing cells such as GT1. This attenuation was relieved by exonic splicing enhancers located in the GnRH exons 3 and 4. Interestingly, addition of nuclear extract derived from GT1 cells further increased the excision rate of intron A, indicating that GnRH neurons contain TRANS-acting splicing factors. Extensive biochemical analysis indicates that Tra2alpha, a serine/arginine-rich RNA-binding protein, and other cofactors are likely involved in mediating neuron-specific excision of intron A from the GnRH primary transcript. An understanding of the GnRH neuron-specific splicing machinery provides critical insight into the molecular mechanism of GnRH gene regulation and consequently of mammalian reproductive development.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the selective role of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms on neurite outgrowth of the GT1 hypothalamic neurons using several PKC isoform-selective inhibitors and transfection-based expression of enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP)-fused PKC isoforms. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) induced neurite outgrowth and growth cone formation, effects that were blocked by GF 109203X (a PKC inhibitor), safingolTM(a PKCalpha-selective inhibitor), but not by rottlerinTM (a PKCdelta-selective inhibitor), indicating that PKCalpha may be selectively involved in neurite outgrowth and cytoskeletal changes of filamentous actin and beta-tubulin. To define the differential localization of PKC isoforms, EGFP-tagged PKCalpha, PKCgamma, and PKCdelta were transfected into GT1 neuronal cells. TPA treatment induced relocalization of PKCalpha-EGFP to growth cones and cell-cell adhesion sites, PKCgamma-EGFP to the nucleus, and PKCdelta-EGFP to the membrane ruffle, respectively. An EGFP chimera of the catalytic domain of PKCalpha (PKCalpha-Cat-EGFP), the expression of which was inducible by doxycycline, was employed to directly ascertain the effect of PKCalpha enzymatic activity on neurite outgrowth of GT1 cells. Transient transfection of PKCalpha-Cat-EGFP alone increased the neurite-outgrowth and doxycycline treatment further augmented the number of neurite-containing cells. We also examined the involvement of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) MAP kinase in TPA-induced neurite outgrowth. TPA treatment increased phosphorylated ERK MAP kinase, but not p38 MAP kinase. Specific inhibition of PKCalpha with safingol blocked the phosphorylation of ERK induced by TPA. More importantly, both neurite outgrowth and phosphorylation of ERK by TPA were blocked by PD 098059, a specific inhibitor of MEK (MAP kinase/ERK kinase-1), but not by SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAP kinase. These results demonstrate that PKCalpha isoform-specific activation is involved in neurite outgrowth of GT1 hypothalamic neuronal cells via ERK, but not the p38 MAP kinase signal pathway.

Abstract
A yeast two-hybrid assay was employed to identify androgen receptor (AR) protein partners in gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal cells. By using an AR deletion construct (AR-(Delta371-485)) as a bait, beta-catenin was identified as an AR-interacting protein from a gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal cell library. Immunolocalization of co-transfected AR and FLAG-beta-catenin demonstrated that FLAG-beta-catenin was predominantly cytoplasmic in the absence of androgen. In the presence of 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone, FLAG-beta-catenin completely co-localized to the nucleus with AR. This effect was specific to AR because liganded progesterone, glucocorticoid, or estrogen alpha receptors did not translocate FLAG-beta-catenin to the nucleus. Agonist-bound AR was required because the AR antagonists casodex and hydroxyflutamide failed to translocate beta-catenin. Time course experiments demonstrated that co-translocation occurred with similar kinetics. Nuclear co-localization was independent of the glycogen synthase kinase-3beta, p42/44 ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways because inhibitors of these pathways had no effect. Transcription assays demonstrated that liganded AR repressed beta-catenin/T cell factor-responsive reporter gene activity. Conversely, co-expression of beta-catenin/T cell factor repressed AR stimulation of AR-responsive reporter gene activity. Our data suggest that liganded AR shuttles beta-catenin to the nucleus and that nuclear interaction of AR with beta-catenin may modulate transcriptional activity in androgen target tissues.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the effect of glucocorticoid on neuronal differentiation of hippocampal progenitor HiB5 cells. Dexamethasone (DEX), a synthetic glucocorticoid, inhibited platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced differentiation of HiB5 cells. The inhibitory effect of DEX was antagonized by RU486, a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist, indicating the GR-mediated processes. Nestin mRNA level was decreased and midsize neurofilament (NF-M) mRNA level was increased as a function of neuronal differentiation. DEX significantly blocked PDGF-induced down-regulation of nestin mRNA level, and up-regulation of NF-M mRNA level, which were similar to those of undifferentiated cells. DEX inhibited PDGF-induced activation of cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB) and AP-1, suggesting that glucocorticoid interfered with signal transduction cascades linking the PDGF receptor and downstream transcription factors. Indeed, DEX reduced PDGF-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2). Tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor reversed the effect of DEX on ERK1/2. In accordance with this finding, blockage of ERK1/2 signaling pathway with PD098059, a potent inhibitor for Ras/ERK pathway, mimicked the inhibitory effect of DEX on differentiation processes. Taken together, these results indicate that glucocorticoid inhibits PDGF-induced differentiation of hippocampal progenitor HiB5 cells by inhibiting the ERK1/2 signaling cascade via a tyrosine phosphatase-dependent mechanism.
