Herein, we present single-cell tran- scriptome profiling of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, the most prevalent histological lung cancer type diagnosed at stage IV in over 40% of all cases. From 208,506 cells populating the normal tissues or early to metastatic stage cancer in 44 patients, we identify a cancer cell subtype deviating from the normal differentiation trajectory and dominating the metastatic stage. In all stages, the stromal and immune cell dynamics reveal ontological and functional changes that create a pro-tumoral and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Normal resident myeloid cell populations are gradually replaced with monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells, along with T-cell exhaustion. This extensive single-cell analysis enhances our understanding of molecular and cellular dynamics in metastatic lung cancer and reveals potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in cancer-microenvironment interactions. 1 Samsung Genome Institute, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul 06351, Korea.

  • The Proteintyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type J Is Regulated by The
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 The Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type J is regulated by the pVHL-HIF axis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Casagrande, Silvia ; Ruf, Melanie ; Rechsteiner, Markus ; Morra, Laura ; Brun-Schmid, Sonja ; von Teichman, Adriana ; Krek, Wilhelm ; Schraml, Peter ; Moch, Holger Abstract: Mass spectrometry analysis of renal cancer cell lines recently suggested that the Protein- Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type J (PTPRJ), an important regulator of tyrosine kinase receptors, is tightly linked to the von-Hippel Lindau protein (pVHL). Therefore, we aimed to characterize the biological relevance of PTPRJ for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In pVHL negative ccRCC cell lines both RNA and protein expression levels of PTPRJ were lower than those in the corresponding pVHL reconstituted cells. Quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot analysis of ccRCC with known VHL mutation status and normal matched tissues as well as RNA in situ hybridization on a Tissue Microarray (TMA) confirmed a decrease of PTPRJ expression in more than 80 % of ccRCCs, but inonly12%of papillary RCCs. ccRCC patients with no or reduced PTPRJ mRNA expression had a less favourable outcome than those with a normal expression status (p = 0.05). Sequence analysis of 32 PTPRJ mRNA negative ccRCC samples showed five known polymorphisms, but no mutations implying other mechanisms leading to PTPRJ’s down-regulation. Selective silencing of HIF-฀ by siRNA and reporter gene assays demonstrated that pVHL inactivation reduces PTPRJ expression through a HIF-dependent mechanism, which is mainly driven by HIF-2฀ stabilization.

  • The Regulatory Roles of Phosphatases in Cancer
    Oncogene (2014) 33, 939–953 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/14 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW The regulatory roles of phosphatases in cancer J Stebbing1, LC Lit1, H Zhang, RS Darrington, O Melaiu, B Rudraraju and G Giamas The relevance of potentially reversible post-translational modifications required for controlling cellular processes in cancer is one of the most thriving arenas of cellular and molecular biology. Any alteration in the balanced equilibrium between kinases and phosphatases may result in development and progression of various diseases, including different types of cancer, though phosphatases are relatively under-studied. Loss of phosphatases such as PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), a known tumour suppressor, across tumour types lends credence to the development of phosphatidylinositol 3--kinase inhibitors alongside the use of phosphatase expression as a biomarker, though phase 3 trial data are lacking. In this review, we give an updated report on phosphatase dysregulation linked to organ-specific malignancies. Oncogene (2014) 33, 939–953; doi:10.1038/onc.2013.80; published online 18 March 2013 Keywords: cancer; phosphatases; solid tumours GASTROINTESTINAL MALIGNANCIES abs in sera were significantly associated with poor survival in Oesophageal cancer advanced ESCC, suggesting that they may have a clinical utility in Loss of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on ESCC screening and diagnosis.5 chromosome 10) expression in oesophageal cancer is frequent, Cao et al.6 investigated the role of protein tyrosine phosphatase, among other gene alterations characterizing this disease.

  • Genetic Alterations of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases in Human Cancers
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 3885–3894 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW Genetic alterations of protein tyrosine phosphatases in human cancers S Zhao1,2,3, D Sedwick3,4 and Z Wang2,3 Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are enzymes that remove phosphate from tyrosine residues in proteins. Recent whole-exome sequencing of human cancer genomes reveals that many PTPs are frequently mutated in a variety of cancers. Among these mutated PTPs, PTP receptor T (PTPRT) appears to be the most frequently mutated PTP in human cancers. Beside PTPN11, which functions as an oncogene in leukemia, genetic and functional studies indicate that most of mutant PTPs are tumor suppressor genes. Identification of the substrates and corresponding kinases of the mutant PTPs may provide novel therapeutic targets for cancers harboring these mutant PTPs.

  • Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling of the Kidney Glomerulus Identifies Key Cell Types and Reactions to Injury
    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling of the Kidney Glomerulus Identifies Key Cell Types and Reactions to Injury Jun-Jae Chung ,1 Leonard Goldstein ,2 Ying-Jiun J. Chen,2 Jiyeon Lee ,1 Joshua D. Webster,3 Merone Roose-Girma,2 Sharad C. Paudyal,4 Zora Modrusan,2 Anwesha Dey,5 and Andrey S. Shaw1 Due to the number of contributing authors, the affiliations are listed at the end of this article. ABSTRACT Background The glomerulus is a specialized capillary bed that is involved in urine production and BP control. Glomerular injury is a major cause of CKD, which is epidemic and without therapeutic options. Single-cell transcriptomics has radically improved our ability to characterize complex organs, such as the kidney. Cells of the glomerulus, however, have been largely underrepresented in previous single-cell kidney studies due to their paucity and intractability. Methods Single-cell RNA sequencing comprehensively characterized the types of cells in the glomerulus from healthy mice and from four different disease models (nephrotoxic serum nephritis, diabetes, doxo- rubicin toxicity, and CD2AP deficiency). Results Allcelltypesintheglomeruluswereidentified using unsupervised clustering analysis. Novel marker genes and gene signatures of mesangial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells of the afferent and efferent arteri- oles, parietal epithelial cells, and three types of endothelial cells were identified. Analysis of the disease models revealed cell type–specific and injury type–specific responses in the glomerulus, including acute activation of the Hippo pathway in podocytes after nephrotoxic immune injury. Conditional deletion of YAP or TAZ resulted in more severe and prolonged proteinuria in response to injury, as well as worse glomerulosclerosis.

  • Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase PTPN3 Inhibits Lung Cancer Cell Proliferation and Migration by Promoting EGFR Endocytic Degradation
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 3791–3803 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE Protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN3 inhibits lung cancer cell proliferation and migration by promoting EGFR endocytic degradation M-Y Li1,2, P-L Lai1, Y-T Chou3, A-P Chi1, Y-Z Mi1, K-H Khoo1,2, G-D Chang2, C-W Wu3, T-C Meng1,2 and G-C Chen1,2 Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) regulates multiple signaling cascades essential for cell proliferation, growth and differentiation. Using a genetic approach, we found that Drosophila FERM and PDZ domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase, dPtpmeg, negatively regulates border cell migration and inhibits the EGFR/Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway during wing morphogenesis. We further identified EGFR pathway substrate 15 (Eps15) as a target of dPtpmeg and its human homolog PTPN3. Eps15 is a scaffolding adaptor protein known to be involved in EGFR endocytosis and trafficking. Interestingly, PTPN3-mediated tyrosine dephosphorylation of Eps15 promotes EGFR for lipid raft-mediated endocytosis and lysosomal degradation. PTPN3 and the Eps15 tyrosine phosphorylation-deficient mutant suppress non-small-cell lung cancer cell growth and migration in vitro and reduce lung tumor xenograft growth in vivo. Moreover, depletion of PTPN3 impairs the degradation of EGFR and enhances proliferation and tumorigenicity of lung cancer cells. Taken together, these results indicate that PTPN3 may act as a tumor suppressor in lung cancer through its modulation of EGFR signaling.

Breast cancer is fairly heterogeneous and reveals six molecular subtypes: luminal A, luminal B, HER2+, basal-like subtype (ER−, PR−, and HER2−), normal breast-like, and claudin-low. Breast cancer screening and early diagnosis play critical roles in improving therapeutic outcomes and prognosis. Mammography is currently the main commercially available detection method for breast cancer; however, it has numerous limitations. Therefore, reliable noninvasive diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers are required. Biomarkers used in cancer range from macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, to whole cells.
