While progress has been made in characterising the stem and 3 21 differentiated cell compartments , the transition between the two cell states, termed 4 22 commitment , is poorly understood. Here we characterise commitment by integrating 23 transcriptomic and proteomic data from disaggregated primary human keratinocytes 24 held in suspension for up to 12h. We have previously shown that commitment begins at 5 25 approximately 4h and differentiation is initiated by 8h . We find that cell detachment 26 induces a network of protein phosphatases. The pro-commitment phosphatases – 27 including DUSP6, PPTC7, PTPN1, PTPN13 and PPP3CA – promote terminal 28 differentiation by negatively regulating ERK MAPK and positively regulating key AP1 29 transcription factors. Their activity is antagonised by concomitant upregulation of the 30 anti-commitment phosphatase DUSP10. The phosphatases form a dynamic network of 31 transient positive and negative interactions, with DUSP6 predominating at commitment. 32 Boolean network modelling identifies a mandatory switch between two stable states 33 (stem cell and differentiated cell) via an unstable (committed) state. In addition 1 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/122580; this version posted March 31, 2017.

We conclude that an auto- 36 regulatory phosphatase network maintains epidermal homeostasis by controlling the 37 onset and duration of commitment. 38 39 Introduction 40 Commitment is a transient state during which a cell becomes restricted to a particular 41 differentiated fate. Under physiological conditions commitment is typically irreversible and 6 42 involves selecting one differentiation pathway at the expense of others . While commitment is 43 a well-defined concept in developmental biology, it is still poorly understood in the context of 4,6 44 adult tissues . This is because end-point analysis fails to capture dynamic changes in cell 45 state, and rapid cell state transitions can depend on post-translational events, such as protein 7 46 phosphorylation and dephosphorylation . For these reasons a systems approach to analyse 47 commitment is required. 48 49 We set out to examine commitment in human interfollicular epidermis, which is a multi- 2 50 layered epithelium formed by keratinocytes and comprises the outer covering of the skin . 51 The stem cell compartment lies in the basal layer, attached to an underlying basement 52 membrane, and cells that leave the basal layer undergo a process of terminal differentiation as 53 they move through the suprabasal layers. In the final stage of terminal differentiation the cell 54 nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles are lost and cells assemble an insoluble barrier, called the 2 55 cornified envelope, which is formed of transglutaminase cross-linked proteins and lipids . 56 Cells can become committed to differentiate at any phase of the cell cycle, and upon 5 57 commitment they are refractory to ECM-mediated inhibition of differentiation . 58 59 Results 60 Although there are currently no markers of commitment, we have previously used 61 suspension-induced differentiation of disaggregated human keratinocytes in methylcellulose- 5 62 containing medium to define its timing (Fig. 1a). Since keratinocytes increase in size as they 5 63 differentiate , we enriched for undifferentiated cells in the starting population by a filtration 64 step. By determining when cells recovered from suspension could no longer resume clonal 65 growth on replating (Fig. 1b; Extended Data Fig. 1a), we confirmed that there is a marked 66 drop in colony forming ability between 4 and 8 hours. This correlates with an increase in the 2 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/122580; this version posted March 31, 2017.

Keratinocytes collected immediately after trypsinization served as the 0h control. When 76 comparing the starting (0h) cell population with cells suspended for 4, 8 or 12h, t-SNE 77 analysis of the gene expression data indicated that the 4h cell state was distinct from the 8 and 78 12h cell states (Fig. 1e). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed 79 genes (Extended Data Fig. 1c) or proteins (Fig. 1f) also indicated that the 4h sample clustered 80 separately from the 8 and 12h samples. GO term enrichment analysis of differentially 81 expressed transcripts or proteins showed enrichment of terms associated with epidermal 8,9 82 differentiation at 8h and 12h (Extended Data Figs. 1e, f) , which is consistent with the drop 83 in clonogenicity seen at these time points. 84 85 When we compared the significantly differentially expressed proteins (p-value <0.05) that 86 changed ≥2 fold at one or more time points with their corresponding transcripts 87 (Fig. 1g-i), there was a moderately positive correlation at 8h and 12 h (Pearson correlations of 88 0.51 and 0.68, respectively), consistent with the correlation between bulk mRNA and protein 10,11 89 levels seen in previous studies of mammalian cells . However, at 4h transcripts and 90 proteins were only weakly correlated (Pearson correlation 0.19, Fig. 1g). 91 92 The poor correlation between protein and transcript levels at 4h suggested a potential role for 93 post-transcriptional mechanisms in regulating commitment. To investigate this we performed 94 unbiased SILAC-MS based phospho-proteomic analysis. SILAC-labelled peptides isolated 95 from cells at 0, 4 and 8h time points were enriched for phosphopeptides using HILIC pre- 96 fractionation and titanium dioxide affinity chromatography (Extended Data Fig. 1d; Extended 97 Data Tables 3, 4). Over 3,500 high confidence phosphorylation sites were identified with an 98 Andromeda search score >= 30 and quantified at both the 4 and 8h timepoints.

These 100 dephosphorylation events could not be attributed to decreases in protein abundance, as shown 101 by the discordance between total protein abundance and changes in protein phosphorylation 102 (Fig. 1k). 103 104 Analysis of the integrated proteomic and genomic datasets revealed 45 phosphatases that were 105 differentially expressed between 0 and 4h, 20 of which were upregulated (Fig. 2a, b). 106 Interrogation of published datasets revealed that these phosphatases were also dynamically 12 107 expressed during Calcium-induced stratification of human keratinocytes and differentiation 13 108 of reconstituted human epidermis (Extended Data Fig. 2a, b). 109 110 To examine the effects on keratinocyte self-renewal of knocking down each of the 20 111 phosphatases that were upregulated on commitment in suspension, we transfected primary 112 human keratinocytes with SMART pool siRNAs and measured colony formation in culture 113 (Fig. 2c; Extended Data Fig. 3a, b). As a control we also included INPP5J, which did not 114 change in expression during suspension-induced differentiation. Live cell imaging was used 115 to monitor cell growth for three days post-transfection (Extended Data Fig. 3b). Knocking 116 down seven of the phosphatases significantly increased clonal growth (Fig 2c; Extended Data 117 Fig. 3d), with five phosphatases – DUSP6, PPTC7, PTPN1, PTPN13 and PPP3CA - having 118 the most pronounced effect (p-value <0.001).

    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.

  • 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.

Raffi Institute of Clinical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, 91054 Erlangen, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-9131-85-22979 Received: 15 May 2019; Accepted: 30 May 2019; Published: 2 June 2019 Abstract: Kinase activation and phosphorylation cascades are key to initiate immune cell activation in response to recognition of antigen and sensing of microbial danger. However, for balanced and controlled immune responses, the intensity and duration of phospho-signaling has to be regulated. The dual-specificity phosphatase (DUSP) gene family has many members that are differentially expressed in resting and activated immune cells. Here, we review the progress made in the field of DUSP gene function in regulation of the immune system during the last decade. Studies in knockout mice have confirmed the essential functions of several DUSP-MAPK phosphatases (DUSP-MKP) in controlling inflammatory and anti-microbial immune responses and support the concept that individual DUSP-MKP shape and determine the outcome of innate immune responses due to context-dependent expression and selective inhibition of different mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). In addition to the canonical DUSP-MKP, several small-size atypical DUSP proteins regulate immune cells and are therefore also reviewed here. Unexpected and complex findings in DUSP knockout mice pose new questions regarding cell type-specific and redundant functions. Another emerging question concerns the interaction of DUSP-MKP with non-MAPK binding partners and substrate proteins.

Inflammation is a common response to different stress situations including cancer and infection. In those processes, the family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) has an important role regulating cytokine secretion, proliferation, survival, and apoptosis, among others. MAPKs regulate a large number of extracellular signals upon a variety of physiological as well as pathological conditions. MAPKs activation is tightly regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation events. In this regard, the dual-specificity phosphatase 10 (DUSP10) has been described as a MAPK phosphatase that negatively regulates p38 MAPK and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in several cellular types and tissues. Several studies have proposed that extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) can be also modulated by DUSP10. This suggests a complex role of DUSP10 on MAPKs regulation and, in consequence, its impact in a wide variety of responses involved in both cancer and inflammation.

Background: HER2-overexpression promotes malignancy by modulating signalling molecules, which include PTPs/DSPs (protein tyrosine and dual-specificity phosphatases). Our aim was to identify PTPs/DSPs displaying HER2-associated expression alterations. Methods: HER2 activity was modulated in MDA-MB-453 cells and PTPs/DSPs expression was analysed with a DNA oligoar- ray, by RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Two public breast tumor datasets were analysed to identify PTPs/DSPs differentially ex- pressed in HER2-positive tumors. Results: In cells (1) HER2-inhibition up-regulated 4 PTPs (PTPRA, PTPRK, PTPN11, PTPN18) and 11 DSPs (7 MKPs [MAP Kinase Phosphatases], 2 PTP4, 2 MTMRs [Myotubularin related phosphatases]) and down-regulated 7 DSPs (2 MKPs, 2 MTMRs, CDKN3, PTEN, CDC25C); (2) HER2-activation with EGF affected 10 DSPs (5 MKPs, 2 MTMRs, PTP4A1, CDKN3, CDC25B) and PTPN13; 8 DSPs were found in both groups. Furthermore, 7 PTPs/DSPs displayed also altered protein level. Analysis of 2 breast cancer datasets identified 6 differentially expressed DSPs: DUSP6, strongly up-regulated in both datasets; DUSP10 and CDC25B, up-regulated; PTP4A2, CDC14A and MTMR11 down-regulated in one dataset.
