www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Ankyrin Repeat Domain 1 Overexpression is Associated with Common Resistance to Afatinib and Received: 20 February 2018 Accepted: 25 September 2018 Osimertinib in EGFR-mutant Lung Published: xx xx xxxx Cancer Akiko Takahashi1, Masahiro Seike1, Mika Chiba1, Satoshi Takahashi1, Shinji Nakamichi1, Masaru Matsumoto1, Susumu Takeuchi1, Yuji Minegishi1, Rintaro Noro1, Shinobu Kunugi2, Kaoru Kubota1 & Akihiko Gemma1 Overcoming acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is critical in combating EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We tried to construct a novel therapeutic strategy to conquer the resistance to second-and third-generation EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-positive NSCLC patients. We established afatinib- and osimertinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Exome sequencing, cDNA array and miRNA microarray were performed using the established cell lines to discover novel therapeutic targets associated with the resistance to second-and third-generation EGFR-TKIs. We found that ANKRD1 which is associated with the epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenomenon and anti-apoptosis, was overexpressed in the second-and third-generation EGFR-TKIs-resistant cells at the mRNA and protein expression levels. When ANKRD1 was silenced in the EGFR-TKIs-resistant cell lines, afatinib and osimertinib could induce apoptosis of the cell lines. Imatinib could inhibit ANKRD1 expression, resulting in restoration of the sensitivity to afatinib and osimertinib of EGFR-TKI-resistant cells. In EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients, ANKRD1 was overexpressed in the tumor after the failure of EGFR-TKI therapy, especially after long-duration EGFR- TKI treatments. ANKRD1 overexpression which was associated with EMT features and anti-apoptosis, was commonly involved in resistance to second-and third-generation EGFR-TKIs.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Muscular Dystrophy Models Largemyd, Dmdmdx&Sol
European Journal of Human Genetics (2016) 24, 1301–1309 & 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature. All rights reserved 1018-4813/16 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Comparative transcriptome analysis of muscular dystrophy models Largemyd, Dmdmdx/Largemyd and Dmdmdx: what makes them different? Camila F Almeida, Poliana CM Martins and Mariz Vainzof* Muscular dystrophies (MD) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of Mendelian diseases. The underlying pathophysiology and phenotypic variability in each form are much more complex, suggesting the involvement of many other genes. Thus, here we studied the whole genome expression profile in muscles from three mice models for MD, at different time points: Dmdmdx (mutation in dystrophin gene), Largemyd − / − (mutation in Large)andDmdmdx/Largemyd − / − (both mutations). The identification of altered biological functions can contribute to understand diseases and to find prognostic biomarkers and points for therapeutic intervention. We identified a substantial number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in each model, reflecting diseases' complexity. The main biological process affected in the three strains was immune system, accounting for the majority of enriched functional categories, followed by degeneration/regeneration and extracellular matrix remodeling processes. The most notable differences were in 21-day-old Dmdmdx, with a high proportion of DEGs related to its regenerative capacity. A higher number of positive embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMyHC) fibers confirmed this. The new Dmdmdx/Largemyd − / − model did not show a highly different transcriptome from the parental lineages, with a profile closer to Largemyd − / − , but not bearing the same regenerative potential as Dmdmdx.Thisisthefirst report about transcriptome profile of a mouse model for congenital MD and Dmdmdx/Largemyd.

Ankyrin Repeat Domain 1, ANKRD1, a Novel Determinant of Cisplatin Sensitivity Expressed in Ovarian Cancer Lyndee L
Cancer Therepy: Preclinical Ankyrin Repeat Domain 1, ANKRD1, a Novel Determinant of Cisplatin Sensitivity Expressed in Ovarian Cancer Lyndee L. Scurr,1, 2 Alexander D. Guminski,1, 2 , 3 Yoke-Eng Chiew,1, 2 Rosemary L. Balleine,1, 5 Raghwa Sharma,4 Ying Lei,1, 2 Kylie Pryor,1, 2 Gerard V. Wain,2 Alison Brand,2 Karen Byth,6 Catherine Kennedy,1, 2 Helen Rizos,1Paul R. Harnett,1, 3 and Anna deFazio1, 2 Abstract Purpose:The standard of care for ovarian cancer includes platinum-based chemotherapy. It is not possible, however, to predict clinical platinum sensitivity or to design rational strategies to overcome resistance. We used a novel approach to identify altered gene expression associated with high sensitivity to cisplatin, to define novel targets to sensitize tumor cells to platins and ultimately improve the effectiveness of this widely used class of chemotherapeutics. Experimental Design: Using differential display PCR, we identified genes differentially expressed in a mutagenized cell line with unusual sensitivity to cisplatin. The most highly differentially expressed gene was selected, and its role in determining cisplatin sensitivity was validated by gene transfection and small interfering RNA (siRNA) approaches, by associ- ation of expression levels with cisplatin sensitivity in cell lines, and by association of tumor expression levels with survival in a retrospective cohort of 71 patients with serous ovarian adenocarcinoma. Results: The most highly differently expressed gene identified was ANKRD1, ankyrin repeat domain1 (cardiac muscle). ANKRD1mRNA levels were correlated with platinum sensitivity in cell lines, and most significantly, decreasing ANKRD1 using siRNA increased cisplatin sensitivity >2-fold.

The Muscle Ankyrin Repeat Proteins CARP, Ankrd2, and DARP Are Not Essential for Normal Cardiac Development and Function at Basal
The Muscle Ankyrin Repeat Proteins CARP, Ankrd2, and DARP Are Not Essential for Normal Cardiac Development and Function at Basal Conditions and in Response to Pressure Overload Marie-Louise Bang1*, Yusu Gu2, Nancy D. Dalton2, Kirk L. Peterson2, Kenneth R. Chien3,4, Ju Chen2* 1 Institute of Genetic and Biomedical Research, UOS Milan, National Research Council and Humanitas Clinical and Research Center, Rozzano (Milan), Italy, 2 Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, California, United States of America, 3 Department of Cell and Molecular Biology and Medicine, Karolinska Insititutet, Stockholm, Sweden, 4 Harvard University, Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States of America Abstract Ankrd1/CARP, Ankrd2/Arpp, and Ankrd23/DARP belong to a family of stress inducible ankyrin repeat proteins expressed in striated muscle (MARPs). The MARPs are homologous in structure and localized in the nucleus where they negatively regulate gene expression as well as in the sarcomeric I-band, where they are thought to be involved in mechanosensing. Together with their strong induction during cardiac disease and the identification of causative Ankrd1 gene mutations in cardiomyopathy patients, this suggests their important roles in cardiac development, function, and disease. To determine the functional role of MARPs in vivo, we studied knockout (KO) mice of each of the three family members. Single KO mice were viable and had no apparent cardiac phenotype. We therefore hypothesized that the three highly homologous MARP proteins may have redundant functions in the heart and studied double and triple MARP KO mice. Unexpectedly, MARP triple KO mice were viable and had normal cardiac function both at basal levels and in response to mechanical pressure overload induced by transverse aortic constriction as assessed by echocardiography and hemodynamic studies.

New Gene for Dilated Cardiomyopathy
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS NEW GENE FOR DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY Three novel variants in the ankyrin repeat domain 1 (ANKRD1) gene, which encodes cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (CARP), have been identified in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Most of the ~20 genes that are known to be causative of dilated cardiomyopathy disrupt sarcomeric signalling pathways. “We selected ANKRD1 as a candidate due to its role in the Z-disk [in the sarcomere],” explains lead investigator Jeffrey Towbin. “Finding mutations, we developed a cellular model to define the mechanisms responsible.” Notably, CARP is upregulated in the cardiomyocytes of patients with hypertrophy and those with heart failure. The international team of researchers screened 160 patients from the UK and 80 patients from Japan. Heterozygous, missense sequence mutations in ANKRD1—resulting in P105S, V107L, and M184I mutations in CARP—were found in four (1.9%) of those tested, all of whom were male and from the UK. None of these mutations was found in a control sample of 180 healthy individuals. The patient with the V107L variant and one of the individuals with a P105S mutation had no family history of dilated cardiomyopathy. The carrier of the M184I variant had a sibling with left ventricular dilation, raising the possibility of autosomal-dominant inheritance. In yeast 2-hybrid assays, both the M184I and P105S variants were associated with a loss of CARP–Talin 1 binding, which could indicate disruption of stretch-signalling in the cardiomyocyte. Transfection of P105S and V107L variants into H9C2 rat embryonic myocardial cells led to altered regulation of several factors that contribute to apoptosis, cell- cycle control, and cell signalling.

Ankrd1, a Modulator of Matrix Metabolism and Cell-Matrix Interactions
Ankrd1, a Modulator of Matrix Metabolism and Cell-Matrix Interactions By Karinna Almodóvar García Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of DOCTOR IN PHILOSOPHY in Cellular and Molecular Pathology August, 2014 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: David M. Bader, Ph.D. Jeffrey M. Davidson, Ph.D. Linda J. Sealy, Ph.D. Alissa M. Weaver, M.D., Ph.D Pampee P. Young, M.D., Ph.D. ABSTRACT Normal tissue repair involves a series of highly coordinated events that include inflammation, granulation tissue formation, revascularization, and tissue remodeling. The transcriptional co-factor, ankyrin repeat domain protein 1 (Ankrd1), is rapidly and highly up regulated by wounding and tissue injury in mouse skin. Ankrd1 is also strongly elevated in human wounds. Overexpression of Ankrd1 in wounds by adenoviral gene transfer enhances wound healing. Ankrd1 has dual roles: a transcriptional co-regulator of several genes and a structural component of the sarcomere, where it forms a multi- component complex with the giant elastic protein, titin. Deletion of Ankrd1 results in a wound healing phenotype characterized by impaired wound closure and reduced granulation tissue thickness. In vitro studies confirmed the importance of Ankrd1 for proper cell-matrix interaction. We identified two Ankrd1-target genes, Collagenase-3 (MMP-13) and Stromelysin-2 (MMP-10). Both, MMP-13 and MMP-10 are important players in matrix turnover during physiological and pathological events. In summary, Ankrd1 regulates genes involve in remodeling of the extracellular matrix and is essential for proper interaction with the extracellular matrix in vitro.

RNA-Sequencing Analysis Reveals New Alterations in Cardiomyocyte Cytoskeletal Genes in Patients with Heart Failure
Laboratory Investigation (2014) 94, 645–653 & 2014 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/14 RNA-sequencing analysis reveals new alterations in cardiomyocyte cytoskeletal genes in patients with heart failure Isabel Herrer1, Esther Rosello´-Lletı´1, Miguel Rivera1, Marıá Micaela Molina-Navarro1, Estefanıá Tarazoń1, Ana Ortega1, Luis Martıńez-Dolz2, Juan Carlos Trivinõ3, Francisca Lago4, Jose´ R Gonza´lez-Juanatey4, Vicente Bertomeu5, Jose´ Anastasio Montero6 and Manuel Portole´s1 Changes in cardiomyocyte cytoskeletal components, a crucial scaffold of cellular structure, have been found in heart failure (HF); however, the altered cytoskeletal network remains to be elucidated. This study investigated a new map of cytoskeleton-linked alterations that further explain the cardiomyocyte morphology and contraction disruption in HF. RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) analysis was performed in 29 human LV tissue samples from ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM; n ¼ 13) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM, n ¼ 10) patients undergoing cardiac transplantation and six healthy donors (control, CNT) and up to 16 ICM, 13 DCM and 7 CNT tissue samples for qRT-PCR. Gene Ontology analysis of RNA-Seq data demonstrated that cytoskeletal processes are altered in HF. We identified 60 differentially expressed cytoskeleton-related genes in ICM and 58 genes in DCM comparing with CNT, hierarchical clustering determined that shared cytoskeletal genes have a similar behavior in both pathologies. We further investigated MYLK4, RHOU, and ANKRD1 cytoskeletal components. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that MYLK4 was downregulated ( À 2.2-fold; Po0.05) and ANKRD1 was upregulated (2.3-fold; Po0.01) in ICM patients vs CNT. RHOU mRNA levels showed a statistical trend to decrease ( À 2.9-fold).
