Javier Carmona Pedram Razavi Chandra S Verma Maura Dickler Sarat Chandarlapaty Edi Brogi Dario R Alessi José Baselga Maurizio Scaltriti Abstract: PIK3CA, the gene encoding the alpha isoform of PI3K (PI3Kα), is frequently mutated and oncogenic in breast cancer. PI3Kα inhibitors are in clinical development and despite promising early clinical activity, primary and acquired resistance is frequent among patients. We have previously reported that residual downstream mTORC1 activity upon treatment with PI3Kα inhibitors drives resistance to these agents. However, the underlying mechanisms that mediate this phenotype are not fully understood. Here we show that in cancer cells resistant to PI3Kα inhibition, PDK1 blockade restores sensitivity to these therapies. SGK1, which is activated by PDK1, contributes to the maintenance of residual mTORC1 activity and cell survival through direct phosphorylation and inhibition of TSC2. Targeting either PDK1 or SGK1 prevents mTORC1 activation and restores the antitumoral effects of PI3Kα inhibition in resistant cancer cells.

Regarding the 4 specific comments mentioned in the body of your last email: 1. All micrographs need to a have scale bar instead of magnification. The size of these scale bars can be stated either on the figures or in the corresponding figure legends. Several figures had scale bars in previous versions don’t have scale bars in this version. Please check all figures carefully and make all necessary revisions. We sincerely apologize for this. Now all the figures with micrographs have scale bars. 2. Supplemental References should list only references that are unique to supplemental information. Although all relevant references should be cited in the supplemental information, only those not listed in the main References should be listed in the Supplemental References. Delete the Ericson et al. (2010) one. We have deleted Ericson et al. 3. A Graphical Abstract is optional, but encouraged. The Graphical Abstract is used to summarize the main findings of the study; it cannot be used to present a model. The current Graphical Abstract is the model presented in the Figure 6, this is inappropriate. We now propose the dual PI3Kα and PDK1 inhibition model as graphical abstract, as it summarizes the main finding. If not acceptable, we would like to ask to remove the graphical abstract from our files. 4. Both Figure S1 and Figure S2 are related to Figure 1, the panels in these two supplemental figures can be more balanced distributed so that panels don’t need to be that small. Maurizio Scaltriti Associate Lab Member; Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program Associate Attending Biologist, Department of Medicine [email protected] 1275 York Avenue, Box 20, New York, NY 10065 T 646-888-3519 F 646-422-0247 www.mskcc.org NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center Page 2 of 2 We would prefer to keep Figure S1 and Figure S2 as they are now because Figure S1 is only about the siRNA screening while Figure S2 is only about the validation of the screening. We understand the concern about the unbalanced distribution between these two figures; however, it would not be trivial to decide which panels we should move keeping Figure S2 seamless. Regarding the comments included in “Castel et al-suggestions”: Italicizing the gene names in the gene expression arrays showed in Figure 2 and Figure S3 would require an intense computational work. These names are automatically listed by the program utilized by the bioinformatician and we would have to repeat the analyses changing this parameter to correct this. We did italicize the gene names in Figure 2 panel C manually. In addition, the paragraph titled “SGK1 is upregulated in BYL719-resistant cell lines” became “SGK1 is upregulated in BYL719-resistant cell lines and in tumors from patients refractory to PI3Kα inhibition”. This change was made to better reflect the content of this paragraph. We believe we have corrected all the other issues.

Lipids in Health and Disease (2019) 18:92 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12944-019-1032-5 RESEARCH Open Access Integrated analysis of gene expression changes associated with coronary artery disease Liu Miao1 , Rui-Xing Yin1,2,3* , Feng Huang1,2,3, Shuo Yang1, Wu-Xian Chen1 and Jin-Zhen Wu1 Abstract Background: This study investigated the pathways and genes involved in coronary artery disease (CAD) and the associated mechanisms. Methods: Two array data sets of GSE19339 and GSE56885 were downloaded. The limma package was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in normal and CAD specimens. Examination of DEGs through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment and Gene Ontology annotation was achieved by Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). The Cytoscape software facilitated the establishment of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) was performed for the significant modules. Results: We identified 413 DEGs (291 up-regulated and 122 down-regulated). Approximately 256 biological processes, only 1 cellular component, and 21 molecular functions were identified by GO analysis and 10 pathways were enriched by KEGG. Moreover, 264 protein pairs and 64 nodes were visualized by the PPI network. After the MCODE analysis, the top 4 high degree genes, including interleukin 1 beta (IL1B, degree = 29), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1, degree = 25), Jun proto-oncogene (JUN, degree = 23) and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2, degree = 20) had been identified to validate in RT-PCR and Cox proportional hazards regression between CAD and normals. Conclusions: The relative expression of IL1B, ICAM1 and CCL2 was higher in CAD than in normal controls (P <0.05–0.

The 22 atypical pseudokinase domain retains a regulated binding platform for substrates, which 23 are ubiquitinated by context-specific E3 ligases. This plastic configuration has also been 24 exploited as a scaffold to support modulation of canonical MAPK and AKT modules. In 25 this review, we discuss evolution of TRIBs and their roles in vertebrate cell biology. 26 TRIB2 is the most ancestral member of the family, whereas the explosive emergence of 27 TRIB3 homologs in mammals supports additional biological roles, many of which are 28 currently being dissected. Given their pleiotropic role in diseases, the unusual TRIB 29 pseudokinase conformation provides a highly attractive opportunity for drug design. 30 31 Keywords: Tribbles, Trb, TRIB, TRIB1, TRIB2, TRIB3, pseudokinase, signaling, cancer, 32 evolution, ubiquitin, E3 ligase 33 Conflicts of Interest: No conflicts of interest are declared by the authors.

Despite this, consensus on the therapeutic targeting of mTOR in degenerating retinas has not yet been achieved. Therefore, we investigated the role of AKT/mTOR signaling in rd16 retinas, in which we restored the AKT/mTOR axis by genetic ablation of pseudokinase TRB3, known to inhibit phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR. First, we found that TRB3 ablation resulted in preservation of photoreceptor function in degenerating retinas. Then, we learned that the mTOR downstream cellular pathways involved in the homeostasis of photoreceptors were also reprogrammed in rd16 TRB3−/− retinas. Thus, the level of inactivated translational repressor p-4E-BP1 was significantly increased in these mice along with the restoration of translational rate. Moreover, in rd16 mice manifesting decline in p-mTOR at P15, we found elevated expression of Beclin-1 and ATG5 autophagy genes. Thus, these mice showed impaired autophagy flux measured as an increase in LC3 conversion and p62 accumulation. In addition, the RFP-EGFP-LC3 transgene expression in rd16 retinas resulted in statistically fewer numbers of red puncta in photoreceptors, suggesting impaired late autophagic vacuoles. In contrast, TRIB3 ablation in these mice resulted in improved autophagy flux. The restoration of translation rate and the boost in autophagosome formation occurred concomitantly with an increase in total Ub and rhodopsin protein levels and the elevation of E3 ligase Parkin1.

  • TRIB1 Is Regulated Post-Transcriptionally by Proteasomal and Non-Proteasomal Pathways
    RESEARCH ARTICLE TRIB1 Is Regulated Post-Transcriptionally by Proteasomal and Non-Proteasomal Pathways Sébastien Soubeyrand1*, Amy Martinuk1, Paulina Lau1, Ruth McPherson1,2* 1 Atherogenomics Laboratory, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa, Canada, 2 Division of Cardiology, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa, Canada * [email protected] (RM); [email protected] (SS) Abstract The TRIB1 gene has been associated with multiple malignancies, plasma triglycerides and coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the clinical significance of this pseudo-kinase, there is little information on the regulation of TRIB1. Previous studies reported TRIB1 mRNA to be unstable, hinting that TRIB1 might be subject to post-transcriptional regulation. This work explores TRIB1 regulation, focusing on its post-transcriptional aspects. In 3 distinct model systems (HEK293T, HeLa and arterial smooth muscle cells) TRIB1 was undetectable as assessed by western blot. Using recombinant TRIB1 as a proxy, we demonstrate TRIB1 to OPEN ACCESS be highly unstable at the protein and RNA levels.
