Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is driven by complex signaling events that induce dramatic biochemical and morphological changes whereby epithelial cells are converted into cancer cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we used mass spectrometry based quantitative proteomics approach to systematically analyze the post-translational biochemical changes that drive differentiation of human mammary epithelial (HMLE) cells into mesenchymal. We identified 314 proteins out of more than 6,000 unique proteins and 871 phosphopeptides out of more than 7,000 unique phosphopeptides as differentially regulated. We found that phosphoproteome is more unstable and prone to changes during EMT compared with the proteome and multiple alterations at proteome level are not thoroughly represented by transcriptional data highlighting the necessity of proteome level analysis. We discovered cell state specific signaling pathways, such as Hippo, sphingolipid signaling, and unfolded protein response (UPR) by modeling the networks of regulated proteins and potential kinase-substrate groups. We identified two novel factors for EMT whose expression increased on EMT induction: DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B4 (DNAJB4) and cluster of differentiation 81 (CD81). Suppression of DNAJB4 or CD81 in mesenchymal breast cancer cells resulted in decreased cell migration in vitro and led to reduced primary tumor growth, extravasation, and lung metastasis in vivo. Overall, we performed the global proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of EMT, identified and validated new mRNA and/ or protein level modulators of EMT. This work also provides a unique platform and resource for future studies focusing on metastasis and drug resistance

Micropatterned Surfaces Expose the Coupling between Actin Cytoskeleton-Lamin/Nesprin and Nuclear Deformability of Breast Cancer Cells with Different Malignancies.
Antmen Altunsoy, Ezgi; Hasirci, Vasif (2021-01-01)
Mechanotransduction proteins transfer mechanical stimuli through nucleo‐cytoskeletal coupling and affect the nuclear morphology of cancer cells. However, the contribution of actin filament integrity has never been studied directly. It is hypothesized that differences in nuclear deformability of cancer cells are influenced by the integrity of actin filaments. In this study, transparent micropatterned surfaces as simple tools to screen cytoskeletal and nuclear distortions are presented. Surfaces decorated wit...
Regulation and role of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein during differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells
Memişoğlu, Aslı Sade; Banerjee, Sreeparna (2013-09-01)
Background: The molecular mechanisms of differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells, is poorly understood and disruption of this balance may result in neoplastic transformation and malignant growth. The family of CCAAT/Enhancer Binding Protein (C/EBP) transcription factors is implicated in cellular growth, differentiation, inflammation and development and control differentiation in several cell types. The involvement of these transcription factors in intestinal differentiation is not known. The aim of th...
DynaDom: structure-based prediction of T cell receptor inter-domain and T cell receptor-peptide-MHC (class I) association angles
Hoffmann, Thomas; Marıon, Antoıne; Antes, Iris (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-02-02)
Background: T cell receptor (TCR) molecules are involved in the adaptive immune response as they distinguish between self- and foreign-peptides, presented in major histocompatibility complex molecules (pMHC). Former studies showed that the association angles of the TCR variable domains (Va/V beta) can differ significantly and change upon binding to the pMHC complex. These changes can be described as a rotation of the domains around a general Center of Rotation, characterized by the interaction of two highly...
SYSTEMS BIOLOGY ANALYSIS OF KINASE INHIBITORS IN LIVER CANCER CELLS USING NEXT GENERATION SEQUENCING DATA

The underlying mechanism for the development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is highly complex due to tissue heterogeneity. Although the traditional approaches mainly focus on a single gene or locus, understanding the variations in the signaling pathways of cancerogenic cells during hepatocarcinogenesis may help to develop novel strategies for treatment and drug development to prevent cancer progression in the patients. This thesis study primarily focuses on unveiling the transcriptome sequencing of dif...
Highly-sensitive and fast detection of human telomeric G-Quadruplex DNA based on a hemin-conjugated fluorescent metal-organic framework platform

© 2021 Elsevier B.V.The formation of G-quadruplex (G4) structures in Human telomeric DNA (H-Telo) has been demonstrated to inhibit the activity of telomerase enzyme that is associated with the proliferation of many cancer cells. Accordingly, G-quadruplex structures have become one of the well-established targets in anticancer therapeutic strategies. And, the development of simple and selective detection platforms for G4 structures has become a significant focus of research in recent years. In this study, a ...
