Received: 3 September 2019; Accepted: 4 September 2019; Published: 6 September 2019 Dual specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) constitute a heterogeneous group of enzymes, relevant in human disease, which belong to the class I Cys-based group of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) gene superfamily [1–4]. DUSPs possess the capability to dephosphorylate Ser/Thr and Tyr residues from proteins as well as to remove phosphates from other non-proteinaceous substrates, including signaling lipids [5]. Catalytically inactive pseudophosphatase DUSPs also exist which regulate phosphorylation-related cell signaling [6]. DUSPs include, among others, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatases (MKPs) and small-size atypical DUSPs. These proteins are non-transmembrane enzymes displaying variable substrate specificity and harboring a single PTP catalytic domain with a HCXXGXXR consensus catalytic motif [7,8]. MKPs are enzymes specialized in regulating the catalytic activity and subcellular location of MAPKs, whereas the functions of small-size atypical DUSPs are more diversified. DUSPs have emerged as key players in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, stress responses and apoptosis. In physiology, DUSPs regulate essential processes, including immunity, neurobiology and metabolic homeostasis, and have been involved in tumorigenesis, pathological inflammation and metabolic disorders [9–11]. Accordingly, alterations in the expression or function of MKPs and small-size atypical DUSPs have important consequences in human disease, making these enzymes potential biological markers and therapeutic targets. Although major biochemical, structural, functional and physiological properties of many DUSPs are currently known, their developmental stage- and tissue-specific involvement in different human pathologies is only starting to be disclosed. This Special Issue provides original research and review articles focused on the involvement of specific MKPs and small-size atypical DUSPs in human

    Deciphering the Functions of Ets2, Pten and p53 in Stromal Fibroblasts in Multiple Breast Cancer Models DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Julie Wallace Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Michael C. Ostrowski, PhD, Advisor Gustavo Leone, PhD Denis Guttridge, PhD Dawn Chandler, PhD Copyright by Julie Wallace 2013 Abstract Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in American women, and is also the second leading cause of cancer death in women. It is estimated that nearly a quarter of a million new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the United States this year, and approximately 40,000 of these women will die from breast cancer. Although death rates have been on the decline for the past decade, there is still much we need to learn about this disease to improve prevention, detection and treatment strategies. The majority of early studies have focused on the malignant tumor cells themselves, and much has been learned concerning mutations, amplifications and other genetic and epigenetic alterations of these cells. However more recent work has acknowledged the strong influence of tumor stroma on the initiation, progression and recurrence of cancer. Under normal conditions this stroma has been shown to have protective effects against tumorigenesis, however the transformation of tumor cells manipulates this surrounding environment to actually promote malignancy. Fibroblasts in particular make up a significant portion of this stroma, and have been shown to impact various aspects of tumor cell biology.

  • Mir-338-3P Functions As a Tumor Suppressor in Gastric Cancer by Targeting PTP1B
    Sun et al. Cell Death and Disease DOI 10.1038/s41419-018-0611-0 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access miR-338-3p functions as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer by targeting PTP1B Feng Sun1, Mengchao Yu2,JingYu2, Zhijian Liu1,XinyanZhou2,YanqingLiu2, Xiaolong Ge3,HaidongGao2, Mei Li4, Xiaohong Jiang2,SongLiu1,XiChen2 and Wenxian Guan 1 Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors and peritoneal metastasis is the primary cause for advanced GC’s mortality. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) functions as an oncogene and involves in carcinogenesis and cancer dissemination. However, the function and regulation of PTP1B in GC remain poorly understood. In this study, we found that PTP1B was upregulated in GC tissues and overexpression of PTP1B in vitro promoted cell migration and prevented apoptosis. Then, we predicted that PTP1B was a target of miR-338-3p and we revealed an inverse correlation between miR-338-3p levels and PTP1B protein levels in GC tissues. Next, we verified that PTP1B was inhibited by miR-338-3p via direct targeting to its 3′-untranslated regions. Moreover, overexpression of miR-338-3p in vitro attenuated GC cell migration and promoted apoptosis, and these effects could be partially reversed by reintroduction of PTP1B. Finally, we established an orthotopic xenograft model and a peritoneal dissemination model of GC to demonstrate that miR-338-3p restrained tumor growth and dissemination in vivo by targeting PTP1B. Taken together, our results highlight that PTP1B is an oncogene and is negatively regulated by miR- 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 338-3p in GC, which may provide new insights into novel molecular therapeutic targets for GC.

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

  • Analysis of BMP4 and BMP7 Signaling in Breast Cancer Cells Unveils Time
    Rodriguez-Martinez et al. BMC Medical Genomics 2011, 4:80 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1755-8794/4/80 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Analysis of BMP4 and BMP7 signaling in breast cancer cells unveils time-dependent transcription patterns and highlights a common synexpression group of genes Alejandra Rodriguez-Martinez1†, Emma-Leena Alarmo1†, Lilli Saarinen2, Johanna Ketolainen1, Kari Nousiainen2, Sampsa Hautaniemi2 and Anne Kallioniemi1* Abstract Background: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGF-beta superfamily of growth factors. They are known for their roles in regulation of osteogenesis and developmental processes and, in recent years, evidence has accumulated of their crucial functions in tumor biology. BMP4 and BMP7, in particular, have been implicated in breast cancer. However, little is known about BMP target genes in the context of tumor. We explored the effects of BMP4 and BMP7 treatment on global gene transcription in seven breast cancer cell lines during a 6- point time series, using a whole-genome oligo microarray. Data analysis included hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes, gene ontology enrichment analyses and model based clustering of temporal data. Results: Both ligands had a strong effect on gene expression, although the response to BMP4 treatment was more pronounced. The cellular functions most strongly affected by BMP signaling were regulation of transcription and development. The observed transcriptional response, as well as its functional outcome, followed a temporal sequence, with regulation of gene expression and signal transduction leading to changes in metabolism and cell proliferation. Hierarchical clustering revealed distinct differences in the response of individual cell lines to BMPs, but also highlighted a synexpression group of genes for both ligands.

Atypical DUSPs: 19 phosphatases in search of a role Yolanda Bayón and Andrés Alonso Instituto de Biología y Genética Molecular, CSIC-Universidad de Valladolid c/ Sanz y Forés s/n, 47003 Valladolid, Spain Abstract. Atypical Dual Specificity Phosphatases (A-DUSPs) are a group of 19 phosphatases poorly characterized. They are included among the Class I Cys-based PTPs and contain the active site motif HCXXGXXR conserved in the Class I PTPs. These enzymes present a phosphatase domain similar to MKPs, but lack any substrate targeting domain similar to the CH2 present in this group. Although most of these phosphatases have no more than 250 amino acids, their size ranges from the 150 residues of the smallest A-DUSP, VHZ/DUSP23, to the 1158 residues of the putative PTP DUSP27. The substrates of this family include MAPK, but, in general terms, it does not look that MAPK are the general substrates for the whole group. In fact, other substrates have been described for some of these phosphatases, like the 5’CAP structure of mRNA, glycogen, or STATs and still the substrates of many A-DUSPs have not been identified. In addition to the PTP domain, most of these enzymes present no additional recognizable domains in their sequence, with the exception of CBM-20 in laforin, GTase in HCE1 and a Zn binding domain in DUSP12.

  • DUSP10 Regulates Intestinal Epithelial Cell Growth and Colorectal Tumorigenesis
    Oncogene (2016) 35, 206–217 © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/16 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE DUSP10 regulates intestinal epithelial cell growth and colorectal tumorigenesis CW Png1,2, M Weerasooriya1,2, J Guo3, SJ James1,2,HMPoh1,2, M Osato3, RA Flavell4, C Dong5, H Yang3 and Y Zhang1,2 Dual specificity phosphatase 10 (DUSP10), also known as MAP kinase phosphatase 5 (MKP5), negatively regulates the activation of MAP kinases. Genetic polymorphisms and aberrant expression of this gene are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) in humans. However, the role of DUSP10 in intestinal epithelial tumorigenesis is not clear. Here, we showed that DUSP10 knockout (KO) mice had increased intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) proliferation and migration and developed less severe colitis than wild-type (WT) mice in response to dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) treatment, which is associated with increased ERK1/2 activation and Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) expression in IEC. In line with increased IEC proliferation, DUSP10 KO mice developed more colon tumours with increased severity compared with WT mice in response to administration of DSS and azoxymethane (AOM). Furthermore, survival analysis of CRC patients demonstrated that high DUSP10 expression in tumours was associated with significant improvement in survival probability. Overexpression of DUSP10 in Caco-2 and RCM-1 cells inhibited cell proliferation. Our study showed that DUSP10 negatively regulates IEC growth and acts as a suppressor for CRC. Therefore, it could be targeted for the development of therapies for colitis and CRC. Oncogene (2016) 35, 206–217; doi:10.1038/onc.2015.74; published online 16 March 2015 INTRODUCTION development.

  • Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation Analysis, Gene
    Peraldo-Neia et al. BMC Cancer 2011, 11:31 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2407/11/31 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation analysis, gene expression profiling and EGFR protein expression in primary prostate cancer Caterina Peraldo-Neia1,2*, Giorgia Migliardi1, Maurizia Mello-Grand2, Filippo Montemurro3, Raffaella Segir2, Ymera Pignochino1, Giuliana Cavalloni1, Bruno Torchio4, Luciano Mosso4, Giovanna Chiorino2, Massimo Aglietta1,3 Abstract Background: Activating mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) confer sensitivity to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKi), gefitinib and erlotinib. We analysed EGFR expression, EGFR mutation status and gene expression profiles of prostate cancer (PC) to supply a rationale for EGFR targeted therapies in this disease. Methods: Mutational analysis of EGFR TK domain (exons from 18 to 21) and immunohistochemistry for EGFR were performed on tumour tissues derived from radical prostatectomy from 100 PC patients. Gene expression profiling using oligo-microarrays was also carried out in 51 of the PC samples. Results: EGFR protein overexpression (EGFRhigh) was found in 36% of the tumour samples, and mutations were found in 13% of samples. Patients with EGFRhigh tumours experienced a significantly increased risk of biochemical relapse (hazard ratio-HR 2.52, p=0.02) compared with patients with tumours expressing low levels of EGFR (EGFRlow). Microarray analysis did not reveal any differences in gene expression between EGFRhigh and EGFRlow tumours. Conversely, in EGFRhigh tumours, we were able to identify a 79 gene signature distinguishing mutated from non-mutated tumours. Additionally, 29 genes were found to be differentially expressed between mutated/ EGFRhigh (n=3) and mutated/EGFRlow tumours (n=5).

We further (SCCOHT) is a rare, aggressive ovarian cancer in young women identified ponatinib as the most effective clinically approved that is universally driven by loss of the SWI/SNF ATPase subunits RTK inhibitor. Reexpression of SMARCA4 was shown to confer SMARCA4 and SMARCA2. A great need exists for effective targeted a 1.7-fold increase in resistance to ponatinib. Subsequent therapies for SCCOHT. proteomic assessment of ponatinib target modulation in Experimental Design: To identify underlying therapeutic vul- SCCOHT cell models confirmed inhibition of nine known nerabilities in SCCOHT, we conducted high-throughput siRNA ponatinib target kinases alongside 77 noncanonical ponatinib and drug screens. Complementary proteomics approaches pro- targets in SCCOHT. Finally, ponatinib delayed tumor dou- filed kinases inhibited by ponatinib. Ponatinib was tested for bling time 4-fold in SCCOHT-1 xenografts while reducing efficacy in two patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models and one final tumor volumes in SCCOHT PDX models by 58.6% and cell-line xenograft model of SCCOHT.

  • Hyperactive and Impulsive Behaviors of LMTK1 Knockout Mice
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Hyperactive and impulsive behaviors of LMTK1 knockout mice Miyuki Takahashi1,7, Arika Sugiyama1, Ran Wei1, Shizuka Kobayashi2, Kimiko Fukuda3, Hironori Nishino1, Roka Takahashi1, Koji Tsutsumi1,8, Ichiro Kita4, Kanae Ando1, Toshiya Manabe2, Hiroyuki Kamiguchi5, Mineko Tomomura6 & Shin‑ichi Hisanaga1* Lemur tail kinase 1 (LMTK1), previously called Apoptosis‑Associated Tyrosine Kinase (AATYK), remains an uncharacterized Ser/Thr protein kinase that is predominantly expressed in the brain. It is recently reported that LMTK1A, an isoform of LMTK1, binds to recycling endosomes through its palmitoylation and regulates endosomal trafcking by suppressing the activity of Rab11 small GTPase. In neurons, knockdown or knockout of LMTK1 results in longer axons, greater branching of dendrites and increased number of spines, suggesting that LMTK1 plays a role in neuronal circuit formation. However, its in vivo function remained to be investigated. Here, we examined the brain structures and behaviors of LMTK1 knockout (KO) mice. LMTK1 was expressed in most neurons throughout the brain. The overall brain structure appeared to be normal in LMTK1 KO mice, but the numbers of synapses were increased. LMTK1 KO mice had a slight impairment in memory formation and exhibited distinct psychiatric behaviors such as hyperactivity, impulsiveness and high motor coordination without social interaction defcits. Some of these abnormal behaviors represent core features of attention defcit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), suggesting the possible involvement of LMTK1 in the pathogenesis of ADHD.
