ABL tyrosine kinases play an oncogenic role in human leukemias. However, the role of ABL kinases in solid tumors including breast cancer progression and metastasis is just emerging. To evaluate whether ABL family kinases are involved in breast cancer development and metastasis, we first analyzed genomic data from large-scale screen of breast cancer patients. We found that ABL kinases are up-regulated in invasive breast cancer patients and high expression of ABL kinases correlates with poor prognosis and early metastasis. Using xenograft mouse models combined with genetic and pharmacological approaches, we demonstrated that ABL kinases are required for regulating breast cancer progression and metastasis to the bone. Using next generation sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, we uncovered a critical role for ABL kinases in promoting multiple oncogenic pathways including TAZ and STAT5 signaling networks and the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). These findings revealed a role for ABL kinases in regulating breast cancer tumorigenesis and bone metastasis and provide a rationale for targeting breast tumors with ABL-specific inhibitors. iv Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iv List of Tables ................................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures ................................................................................................................................ x List of Abbreviations ................................................................................................................. xiii 1.

  • Functional Characterization of the New 8Q21 Asthma Risk Locus
    Functional characterization of the new 8q21 Asthma risk locus Cristina M T Vicente B.Sc, M.Sc A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 Faculty of Medicine Abstract Genome wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful tool to identify genetic variants associated with asthma risk. However, the target genes for many allergy risk variants discovered to date are unknown. In a recent GWAS, Ferreira et al. identified a new association between asthma risk and common variants located on chromosome 8q21. The overarching aim of this thesis was to elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying this association. Specifically, the goals of this study were to identify the gene(s) underlying the observed association and to study their contribution to asthma pathophysiology. Using genetic data from the 1000 Genomes Project, we first identified 118 variants in linkage disequilibrium (LD; r2>0.6) with the sentinel allergy risk SNP (rs7009110) on chromosome 8q21. Of these, 35 were found to overlap one of four Putative Regulatory Elements (PREs) identified in this region in a lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL), based on epigenetic marks measured by the ENCODE project. Results from analysis of gene expression data generated for LCLs (n=373) by the Geuvadis consortium indicated that rs7009110 is associated with the expression of only one nearby gene: PAG1 - located 732 kb away. PAG1 encodes a transmembrane adaptor protein localized to lipid rafts, which is highly expressed in immune cells. Results from chromosome conformation capture (3C) experiments showed that PREs in the region of association physically interacted with the promoter of PAG1.

Currently the five-year survival rate for AML patients is 27.4 percent. Meanwhile the standard of care for most AML patients has not changed for nearly 50 years. We now know that AML is a genetically heterogeneous disease and therefore it is unlikely that all AML patients will respond to therapy the same way. Upregulation of protein-tyrosine kinase signaling pathways is one common feature of some AML tumors, offering opportunities for targeted therapy.

  • Inhibition of Src Family Kinases and Receptor Tyrosine Kinases by Dasatinib: Possible Combinations in Solid Tumors
    Published OnlineFirst June 13, 2011; DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-10-2616 Clinical Cancer Molecular Pathways Research Inhibition of Src Family Kinases and Receptor Tyrosine Kinases by Dasatinib: Possible Combinations in Solid Tumors Juan Carlos Montero1, Samuel Seoane1, Alberto Ocaña2,3, and Atanasio Pandiella1 Abstract Dasatinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets a wide variety of tyrosine kinases implicated in the pathophysiology of several neoplasias. Among the most sensitive dasatinib targets are ABL, the SRC family kinases (SRC, LCK, HCK, FYN, YES, FGR, BLK, LYN, and FRK), and the receptor tyrosine kinases c-KIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) a and b, discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1), c-FMS, and ephrin receptors. Dasatinib inhibits cell duplication, migration, and invasion, and it triggers apoptosis of tumoral cells. As a consequence, dasatinib reduces tumoral mass and decreases the metastatic dissemination of tumoral cells. Dasatinib also acts on the tumoral microenvironment, which is particularly important in the bone, where dasatinib inhibits osteoclastic activity and favors osteogenesis, exerting a bone-protecting effect. Several preclinical studies have shown that dasatinib potentiates the antitumoral action of various drugs used in the oncology clinic, paving the way for the initiation of clinical trials of dasatinib in combination with standard-of-care treatments for the therapy of various neoplasias. Trials using combinations of dasatinib with ErbB/HER receptor antagonists are being explored in breast, head and neck, and colorectal cancers. In hormone receptor–positive breast cancer, trials using combina- tions of dasatinib with antihormonal therapies are ongoing. Dasatinib combinations with chemother- apeutic agents are also under development in prostate cancer (dasatinib plus docetaxel), melanoma (dasatinib plus dacarbazine), and colorectal cancer (dasatinib plus oxaliplatin plus capecitabine).

LIF and IL-6 were induced by (Van Wagoner and Benveniste, 1999). IL-6 is a major regulator of a intracerebral injection of recombinant human (rh)VTN in mice, but variety of inflammatory disorders and a target for therapies (Hunter induction seen upon intracerebral hemorrhage was less in VTN−/− and Jones, 2015).

  • PRKACA Mediates Resistance to HER2-Targeted Therapy in Breast Cancer Cells and Restores Anti-Apoptotic Signaling
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 2061–2071 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE PRKACA mediates resistance to HER2-targeted therapy in breast cancer cells and restores anti-apoptotic signaling SE Moody1,2,3, AC Schinzel1, S Singh1, F Izzo1, MR Strickland1, L Luo1,2, SR Thomas3, JS Boehm3, SY Kim4, ZC Wang5,6 and WC Hahn1,2,3 Targeting HER2 with antibodies or small molecule inhibitors in HER2-positive breast cancer leads to improved survival, but resistance is a common clinical problem. To uncover novel mechanisms of resistance to anti-HER2 therapy in breast cancer, we performed a kinase open reading frame screen to identify genes that rescue HER2-amplified breast cancer cells from HER2 inhibition or suppression. In addition to multiple members of the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) and PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) signaling pathways, we discovered that expression of the survival kinases PRKACA and PIM1 rescued cells from anti-HER2 therapy. Furthermore, we observed elevated PRKACA expression in trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer samples, indicating that this pathway is activated in breast cancers that are clinically resistant to trastuzumab-containing therapy. We found that neither PRKACA nor PIM1 restored MAPK or PI3K activation after lapatinib or trastuzumab treatment, but rather inactivated the pro-apoptotic protein BAD, the BCl-2-associated death promoter, thereby permitting survival signaling through BCL- XL. Pharmacological blockade of BCL-XL/BCL-2 partially abrogated the rescue effects conferred by PRKACA and PIM1, and sensitized cells to lapatinib treatment. These observations suggest that combined targeting of HER2 and the BCL-XL/BCL-2 anti-apoptotic pathway may increase responses to anti-HER2 therapy in breast cancer and decrease the emergence of resistant disease.
