Feedback Regulation of Gab2-Dependent Signaling by the Ras/MAPK Pathway Université de Montréal Feedback regulation of Gab2-dependent signaling by the Ras/MAPK pathway par Xiaocui Zhang Programmes de Biologie Moléculaire Faculté de Médecine Thèse présentée à la Faculté de Médecine en vue de l’obtention du grade de Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) en Biologie Moléculaire option Biologie des Systèmes Dec., 2014 © Xiaocui Zhang, 2014 Résumé La voie de signalisation des Récepteurs Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) occupe un rôle central dans la régulation de la croissance cellulaire, la prolifération, la différentiation et la motilité. Une régulation anormale des RTKs mène à plusieurs maladies humaines telles que le cancer du sein, la seconde cause de mortalité chez les femmes à cause de l’amplification et la mutation fréquente de la protéine tyrosine kinase HER2 (ERBB2). Grb2-associated binder (Gab) 2 est une protéine adaptatrice qui agit en aval de plusieurs RTKs, y compris HER2, pour réguler de multiples voies de signalisation. En réponse à la stimulation par de nombreux facteurs de croissances et cytokines, Gab2 est recruté à la membrane plasmique où il potentialise l’activation des voies de signalisation Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) et PI3K (phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase)/Akt (protein kinase B). En plus d’occuper un rôle essentiel durant le développement du système hématopoïétique, Gab2 est souvent amplifié dans les cancers, notamment le cancer du sein et les mélanomes. Cependant, les mécanismes moléculaires qui régulent le fonctionnement de Gab2 sont peu connus. Il est établi que lors de l’activation des RTKs, Gab2 est phosphorylé au niveau de plusieurs résidus Tyrosine, menant à l’association de différentes protéines comme p85 et Shp2. En plus de la phosphorylation en Tyrosine, notre laboratoire ainsi que d’autres groupes de recherche avons identifié que Gab2 est aussi phosphorylé au niveau de résidus Ser/Thr suite à l’activation de la voie de signalisation MAPK. Cependant, la régulation des fonctions de Gab2 par ces modifications post-traductionnelles est encore peu connue. Dans le but de comprendre comment Gab2 est régulé par la voie de signalisation MAPK, nous avons utilisé différentes approches. Dans la première partie de ma thèse, nous avons déterminé un nouveau mécanisme démontrant que la voie de signalisation Ras/MAPK, par le biais des protéines kinases RSK (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase), phosphoryle Gab2. Ce phénomène se produit à la fois in vivo et in vitro au niveau de trois résidus Ser/Thr conservés. Des mutations au niveau de ces sites de phosphorylation entrainent le recrutement de Shp2 menant à l’augmentation de la motilité cellulaire, ce qui suggère que les protéines RSK restreignent les fonctions dépendantes de Gab2. Ce phénomène est le résultat de la participation de RSK dans la boucle de rétroaction négative de la voie de signalisation MAPK. Dans la seconde partie de ma thèse, nous avons démontré que les protéines ERK1/2 phosphorylent Gab2 au niveau de plusieurs résidus i pS/T-P à la fois in vitro et in vivo, entrainant l’inhibition du recrutement de p85. De plus, nous avons établi pour la première fois que Gab2 interagit physiquement avec ERK1/2 dans des cellules lors de l’activation de la voie de signalisation MAPK. Par ailleurs, nous avons montré un nouveau domaine d’attache du module ERK1/2 sur Gab2. Des mutations sur les résidus essentiels de ce domaine d’attache n’entrainent pas seulement la dissociation de ERK1/2 avec Gab2, mais diminuent également la phosphorylation dépendante de ERK1/2 sur Gab2. Ainsi, nos données montrent que la voie de signalisation MAPK régule les fonctions de la protéine Gab2 par le biais des kinases RSK et ERK1/2. Cette thèse élabore par ailleurs un schéma complet des fonctions de Gab2 dépendantes de la voie de signalisation MAPK dans le développement de nombreux cancers. Mots clés: Gab2; MAPK; RSK; ERK1/2; D-domain; phosphorylation; Shp2; p85; ii Abstract Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling plays an essential role in modulating cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and motility. Abnormal regulation of RTKs results in many human diseases, including breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer mortality in women by the frequent amplification and mutation of the HER2 (ERBB2) tyrosine kinase. The Grb2-associated binder (Gab) 2 is an adaptor protein that acts downstream of several RTKs, including HER2, to regulate multiple signaling pathways. In response to the stimulation of a number of growth factors and cytokines, Gab2 is recruited to the plasma membrane, where it potentiates the activation of the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and PI3K (phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase)/Akt (protein kinase B) pathways. In addition to playing an important role in the hematopoietic system during development, GAB2 is often amplified in cancers including breast cancer and melanoma, however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that regulate Gab2 function. It has been well established that upon RTKs activation, Gab2 becomes phosphorylated on several Tyr residues leading to diverse adaptor protein associations, such as p85 and Shp2. Aside from the tyrosine phosphorylation, our lab and other groups noticed that Gab2 is also phosphorylated on Ser/Thr residues upon activation of MAPK signaling. However, less is known about this post-translational modification in the regulation of Gab2 functions. In order to understand how Gab2 is regulated by the MAPK pathway, we used different approaches. In the first part of my thesis, we determined a new mechanism by which the Ras/MAPK pathway through RSK (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase) phosphorylated Gab2 on three conserved Ser/Thr residues, both in vivo and in vitro. Mutation of these phosphorylation sites promoted Shp2 recruitment leading to increased cell motility, suggesting that RSK restricts Gab2-dependent functions as a result of participation in the negative feedback loop of MAPK signaling. In the second part of the thesis, we found that ERK1/2 phosphorylated Gab2 on several potential pS/T-P residues, both in vivo and in vitro, resulting in inhibited p85 recruitment. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, we established for the first time that Gab2 physically interacted with ERK1/2 in cells upon activation of the MAPK pathway. Furthermore, we revealed a novel ERK1/2 docking domain in Gab2. Mutation of the essential residues in this docking domain not only disrupted ERK1/2-Gab2 interaction, but also iii diminished ERK1/2-dependent phosphorylation on Gab2. Taken together, our data showed that the MAPK pathway regulates Gab2 functions through both RSK- and ERK1/2-dependent manners. Given that Gab2 is overexpressed in several cancers, this thesis decodes a complete figure of modulating actions of Gab2 by MAPK signaling in cancer development.

Advances in the discovery of a peripheral biomarker for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s would provide a way to better detect the onset of this debilitating disease in a manner that is both noninvasive and universally available. This paper examines the current approaches that are being used to discover potential biomarker candidates available in the periphery. The search for a peripheral biomarker that could be utilized diagnostically has resulted in an extensive amount of studies that employ several biological approaches, including the assessment of tissues, genomics, proteomics, epigenetics, and metabolomics. Although a definitive biomarker has yet to be confirmed, advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of the disease and major susceptibility factors have been uncovered and reveal promising possibilities for the future discovery of a useful biomarker.

The Grb-2 associated binder (Gab) family of scaffolding/adaptor/docking proteins is a group of three molecules with significant roles in cytokine receptor signaling. Gabs possess structural motifs for phosphorylation-dependent receptor recruitment, Grb2 binding, and activation of downstream signaling pathways through p85 and SHP-2. In addition, Gabs participate in hematopoiesis and regulation of immune response which can be aberrantly activated in cancer and inflammation. The multifunctionality of Gab adapters might suggest that they would be too difficult to consider as candidates for “targeted” therapy. However, the one drug/one target approach is giving way to the concept of one drug/multiple target approach since few cancers are addicted to a single signaling molecule for survival and combination drug therapies can be problematic.

  • Systematic Elucidation of Neuron-Astrocyte Interaction in Models of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Using Multi-Modal Integrated Bioinformatics Workflow
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-19177-y OPEN Systematic elucidation of neuron-astrocyte interaction in models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using multi-modal integrated bioinformatics workflow Vartika Mishra et al.# 1234567890():,; Cell-to-cell communications are critical determinants of pathophysiological phenotypes, but methodologies for their systematic elucidation are lacking. Herein, we propose an approach for the Systematic Elucidation and Assessment of Regulatory Cell-to-cell Interaction Net- works (SEARCHIN) to identify ligand-mediated interactions between distinct cellular com- partments. To test this approach, we selected a model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in which astrocytes expressing mutant superoxide dismutase-1 (mutSOD1) kill wild-type motor neurons (MNs) by an unknown mechanism. Our integrative analysis that combines proteomics and regulatory network analysis infers the interaction between astrocyte-released amyloid precursor protein (APP) and death receptor-6 (DR6) on MNs as the top predicted ligand-receptor pair. The inferred deleterious role of APP and DR6 is confirmed in vitro in models of ALS. Moreover, the DR6 knockdown in MNs of transgenic mutSOD1 mice attenuates the ALS-like phenotype. Our results support the usefulness of integrative, systems biology approach to gain insights into complex neurobiological disease processes as in ALS and posit that the proposed methodology is not restricted to this biological context and could be used in a variety of other non-cell-autonomous communication

Nevertheless, acquired TKI resistance remains a major problem in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and TKIs are less effective against Ph+ B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). GAB2, a scaffolding adaptor that binds and activates SHP2, is essential for leukemogenesis by BCR-ABL1, and a GAB2 mutant lacking SHP2 binding cannot mediate leukemogenesis.
