    Abstract: Histone demethylase LSD1 (also known as KDM1 and AOF2) is active in various cancer cells, but its biological significance in human carcinogenesis is unexplored. In this study, we explored hypothesized interactions between LSD1 and MYPT1, a known regulator of RB1 phosphorylation. We found that MYPT1 was methylated in vitro and in vivo by histone lysine methyltransferase SETD7 and demethylated by LSD1, identifying Lys 442 of MYPT1 as a target for methylation/demethylation by these enzymes. LSD1 silencing increased MYPT1 protein levels, decreasing the steady state level of phosphorylated RB1 (Ser 807/811) and reducing E2F activity. MYPT1 methylation status influenced the affinity of MYPT1 for the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway of protein turnover. MYPT1 was unstable in murine cells deficient in SETD7, supporting the concept that MYPT1 protein stability is physiologically regulated by methylation status. LSD1 overexpression could activate RB1 phosphorylation by inducing a destabilization of MYPT1 protein. Taken together, our results comprise a novel cell cycle regulatory mechanism mediated by methylation/demethylation dynamics, and they reveal the significance of LSD1 overexpression in human carcinogenesis.

    Abstract: Although the physiologic significance of lysine methylation of histones is well known, whether lysine methylation plays a role in the regulation of nonhistone proteins has not yet been examined. The histone lysine methyltransferase SETD8 is overexpressed in various types of cancer and seems to play a crucial role in S-phase progression. Here, we show that SETD8 regulates the function of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) protein through lysine methylation. We found that SETD8 methylated PCNA on lysine 248, and either depletion of SETD8 or substitution of lysine 248 destabilized PCNA expression. Mechanistically, lysine methylation significantly enhanced the interaction between PCNA and the flap endonuclease FEN1. Loss of PCNA methylation retarded the maturation of Okazaki fragments, slowed DNA replication, and induced DNA damage, and cells expressing a methylation-inactive PCNA mutant were more susceptible to DNA damage. An increase of methylated PCNA was found in cancer cells, and the expression levels of SETD8 and PCNA were correlated in cancer tissue samples. Together, our findings reveal a function for lysine methylation on a nonhistone protein and suggest that aberrant lysine methylation of PCNA may play a role in human carcinogenesis.

    Abstract: Association studies have been widely used to search for common low-penetrance susceptibility alleles to breast cancer in general. However, breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and it has been suggested that it may be possible to identify additional susceptibility alleles by restricting analyses to particular subtypes. We used data on 710 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 120 candidate genes from a large candidate gene association study of up to 4,470 cases and 4,560 controls to compare the results of analyses of “overall” breast cancer with subgroup analyses based on the major clinicopathologic characteristics of breast cancer (stage, grade, morphology, and hormone receptor status). No SNP was highly significant in overall effects analysis. Subgroup analysis resulted in substantial reordering of ranks of SNPs, as assessed by the magnitude of the test statistics, and some associations that were not significant for an overall effect were detected in subgroups at a nominal 5% level adjusted for multiple testing. The most significant association of CCND1 SNP rs3212879 with estrogen receptor–negative tumor types (P = 0.001) did not reach genome-wide significance levels. These results show that it may be possible to detect associations using subgroup analysis that are missed in overall effects analysis. If the associations we found can be replicated in independent studies, they may provide important insights into disease mechanisms in breast cancer.

    Abstract: Purpose: The 5-year survival rate for invasive epithelial ovarian cancer is & lt;35%. It has been suggested that common, germline genetic variation may influence survival after cancer diagnoses, which might enable the prediction of response to treatment and survival in the clinical setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate associations between common germline genetic variants in the oncogenes BRAF, ERBB2, KRAS, NMI, and PIK3CA, and survival after a diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. Experimental Design: We evaluated the association between 34 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms and survival in 1,480 cases of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer cases from three different studies. Cox regression analysis, stratified by study, was used to estimate per rare allele hazard ratios (HR). Results: The minor allele rs6944385 in BRAF was significantly associated with poor survival [HR, 1.19; 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), 1.02-1.39; P = 0.024]. The association remained after adjusting for prognostic factors (adjusted HR, 1.20; 95 CI, 1.03-1.40; P = 0.018). A haplotype of BRAF was also associated with poor survival (HR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.02-1.51; P = 0.029) and was more significant after adjustment (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.15-1.81; P = 0.001). We also found evidence of an association between a KRAS haplotype and poor survival in serous subtype (HR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.21-2.38; P = 0.002), but this was no longer significant after adjustment. Finally, when analyses were restricted to the serous histologic subtype, the rare allele rs10842513 in KRAS, was associated with poor survival (HR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.10-1.78; P = 0.007). Conclusion: Common genetic variants in the BRAF and KRAS oncogenes may be important in the prediction of survival in patients with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer.

    Abstract IA11: Gene networks, airway smoke injury, and cancer risk

    Abstract: Background: Fifteen percent of smokers and former smokers develop lung cancer. This might be chance; an alternative is that some are at greater risk because of different individual responses to airway smoke injury. Several groups have investigated gene expression in normal airway epithelium as a readout of smoke injury and as a stratifier for risk. Questions include, but are not limited to: i) Can nasal epithelium provide a useful and accessible surrogate for bronchial? ii) Is there an inherited component to the injury-related risk? iii) What components of the injury response contribute most to increased risk in current and in former smokers? iv) What is the distribution of injury response in the healthy current and former smoker populations, rather than symptomatic patients, and how does this relate to risk? Results and Work in Progress: We, like others, have based our analysis on gene expression in normal bronchial and nasal epithelium. We use transcription factor-centered gene regulatory networks, derived from normal bronchial and nasal epithelium, to identify the overlying cellular regulatory mechanisms that differ between injury responses. We identify transcriptional “master regulators” (MRs), the activity of which differs between cancer and benign, and confirm the overlap of MRs between nasal and bronchial epithelium. A preliminary pathway analysis suggests the involvement of these MRs in oxidative stress response, DNA repair, immune responses, and developmental processes. Using data from the TRICL consortium, we show that the regulons of a subset of these MRs are enriched in genes located at lung GWAS loci. This suggests that the observed gene expression differences between cancer and benign are in part causal, related to inherited variation rather than secondary to the cancer. Using samples from the Cambridge Bioresource volunteers, we are analyzing data from nasal samples to compare healthy current and former smokers with healthy never-smokers, and so obtain a “smoke injury response.” We will use this to describe the distribution of injury response in the healthy smoker/former smoker populations. Our aim is to test what component of risk-related gene response may be apparent in this healthy asymptomatic smoker population rather than at the “later” symptomatic stages of hospital investigation, and to find which genes or regulatory processes contribute most to this. The results may have implications both for risk prediction and possible interventions in these populations. My talk will be a “work in progress” aimed at stimulating discussion about questions and approaches, rather than a presentation of finished results. Citation Format: Bruce A.J. Ponder.

    Abstract: STK15 is a putative oncogene that codes for a centrosome-associated, serine/threonine kinase, the normal function of which is to ensure accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis. Amplification of STK15 has been reported in ovarian tumors, suggesting a role in ovarian cancer pathology. STK15 is polymorphic with two single nucleotide substitutions (449t/a and 527g/a) in evolutionarily conserved regions causing amino acid changes (F31I and V57I). Two other nucleotide substitutions (287c/g and 1891g/c) of unknown significance are in 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions (UTR), respectively. To learn more about the involvement of STK15 in ovarian cancer, we genotyped and haplotyped these polymorphisms in three population-based ovarian cancer case-control studies from the United Kingdom, United States, and Denmark with 1,821 combined cases and 2,467 combined controls and calculated risks for developing ovarian cancer. Genotypes of individual polymorphisms in control groups of the United Kingdom, United States, and Denmark conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. In combined cases and combined controls, rare allele frequencies were 0.23 and 0.21 for I31, 0.16 and 0.17 for I57, 0.08 and 0.07 for 5′ UTR g, and 0.25 and 0.24 for 3′ UTR c, respectively. Using FF common homozygotes of F31I as comparator, there was increased ovarian cancer risk to FI heterozygotes (odds ratio, 1.18; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.36), II homozygotes (odds ratio, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 0.89-1.75), and I31 allele carriers (odds ratio, 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.35) in the combined group data. For either V57I, 5′ UTR C/G, or 3′ UTR G/C, all genotypic ovarian cancer risks were essentially in unity relative to their respective common homozygotes, VV, cc, or gg. Haplotype analysis of combined group data revealed seven haplotypes with frequencies between 0.02 and 0.5, with c-F-V-g the most common. None of the haplotype-specific risks significantly differed from unity relative to c-F-V-g. These results suggest a model of dominant inheritance of ovarian cancer risk by the I31 allele of F31I and that the I31 allele may be a common ovarian cancer susceptibility allele of low penetrance.

    Abstract: It is generally believed that the initiation of breast cancer is a consequence of cumulative genetic damage leading to genetic alterations and provoking uncontrolled cellular proliferation and/or aberrant programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Reactive oxygen species have been related to the etiology of cancer as they are known to be mitogenic and therefore capable of tumor promotion. The aim of this study was to assess the role of common variation in 10 polymorphic genes coding for antioxidant defense enzymes in modulating individual susceptibility to breast cancer using a case-control study (N cases = 4,474 and N controls = 4,580). Both cases and controls were from the East Anglian region of the United Kingdom. We have identified a set of 54 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that efficiently tag all the known SNPs in the 10 genes and are also expected to tag any unknown SNPs in each gene. We found no evidence for association of common variants in SOD1, SOD2, GPX1, GPX4, GSR, TXNRD1, and TXN2. There was borderline evidence for association of variants in CAT g27168a {P [2 degrees of freedom (df)] = 0.05}, TXN t2715c [P (2 df) = 0.007] , and TXNRD2 A66S and TXNRD2 g23524a (Ptrend = 0.074 and 0.046, respectively). For TXNRD2 A66S [AS versus AA: odds ratio (OR), 1.05; 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), 0.96-1.15; SS versus AA: OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 0.98-1.29], there are bioinformatics data to suggest that it is functional but confirmation in independent data sets is required before they can be regarded as definitive breast cancer susceptibility alleles. Even if confirmed, these four alleles would account for just 0.32% of the excess familial risk of breast cancer. (Cancer Res 2006; 66(2): 1225-33)

    RET Is Constitutively Activated by Novel Tandem Mutations that Alter the Active Site Resulting in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2B

    Abstract: Constitutive activation of the RET receptor tyrosine kinase underlies the genesis and progression of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), a dominantly inherited cancer predisposition. Importantly, although kinase activation represents a common theme in neoplasias, not all activating mutations are functionally equivalent. Consistent with this, we ascertained a patient with classical features of MEN 2B, but lacking either of the classical mutations in RET (M918T or A883F). Instead, the patient harbors a novel pair of germ line missense mutations in cis at codons 804 and 805. We evaluated the potential physiochemical effects of these substitutions in silico, predicting both to be moderately deleterious in isolation, but severely deleterious in combination. Consistent with this postulate, we show that the identified tandem mutations (V804M/E805K) are biologically active, transforming cells in culture and that their transforming capacity in combination is distinctly synergistic. Furthermore, the V804M/E805K tandem lesion confers resistance to the small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, PP1, suggesting a mode of action distinct from that known for classical MEN 2B mutations. To address this question, we used homology molecular modeling in silico to model the active site of RET. We predict that RET804 constitutes a critical gatekeeper residue that, when mutated in combination with RET805, induces a conformational change in the hinge region that locks the active site in a position permissive for ATP hydrolysis. Our findings have implications both in the clinic and in the successful development of novel kinase-targeted anticancer drugs. (Cancer Res 2006; 66(20): 10179-87)

    Abstract: Germ line missense mutations in the RET proto-oncogene are responsible for the inherited cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A). The clinical presentation of the disease and the age at onset varies even within families, where patients carry the same mutation. These variations in phenotypes suggest a role for genetic modifiers, and recently, it has been reported that polymorphisms within RET (G691S/S904S) may have such a modifier effect on the age at onset. Here, we investigate whether this observed association could be confirmed in a larger set of 384 individuals from MEN2 families from four different European populations. In addition, we tested as modifiers four other single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which we have found in a previous association study of RET, its coreceptors, and ligands to be associated with the risk of developing sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma. We could not replicate the association between G691S/S904S and modifier effects in MEN2A families in any of the four European families analyzed. Of the other SNPs tested, only RET A432A showed a positive weak effect on tumor spectrum within MEN2A, which requires replication in a larger series. (Cancer Res 2006; 66(2): 1177-80)

    Abstract: Several prostate cancer susceptibility loci have recently been identified by genome-wide association studies. These loci are candidates for susceptibility to other epithelial cancers. The aim of this study was to test these tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) for association with invasive ovarian, colorectal, and breast cancer. Twelve prostate cancer–associated tag SNPs were genotyped in ovarian (2,087 cases/3,491 controls), colorectal (2,148 cases/2,265 controls) and breast (first set, 4,339 cases/4,552 controls; second set, 3,800 cases/3,995 controls) case-control studies. The primary test of association was a comparison of genotype frequencies between cases and controls, and a test for trend stratified by study where appropriate. Genotype-specific odds ratios (OR) were estimated by logistic regression. SNP rs2660753 (chromosome 3p12) showed evidence of association with ovarian cancer [per minor allele OR, 1.19; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.04–1.37; Ptrend = 0.012]. This association was stronger for the serous histologic subtype (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.09–1.53; P = 0.003). SNP rs7931342 (chromosome 11q13) showed some evidence of association with breast cancer (per minor allele OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.91–0.99; Ptrend = 0.028). This association was somewhat stronger for estrogen receptor–positive tumors (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.87–0.98; P = 0.011). None of these tag SNPs were associated with risk of colorectal cancer. In conclusion, loci associated with risk of prostate cancer may also be associated with ovarian and breast cancer susceptibility. However, the effects are modest and warrant replication in larger studies. [Cancer Res 2008;68(21):8837–42]
