Abstract
Despite the approval of numerous molecular targeted drugs, long-term antiproliferative efficacy is rarely achieved and therapy resistance remains a central obstacle of cancer care. Combined inhibition of multiple cancer-driving pathways promises to improve antiproliferative efficacy. HIF-1 is a driver of gastric cancer and considered to be an attractive target for therapy. We noted that gastric cancer cells are able to functionally compensate the stable loss of HIF-1α. Via transcriptomics we identified a group of upregulated genes in HIF-1α-deficient cells and hypothesized that these genes confer survival upon HIF-1α loss. Strikingly, simultaneous knock-down of HIF-1α and Annexin A1 (ANXA1), one of the identified genes, resulted in complete cessation of proliferation. Using stable isotope-resolved metabolomics, oxidative and reductive glutamine metabolism was found to be significantly impaired in HIF-1α/ANXA1-deficient cells, potentially explaining the proliferation defect. In summary, we present a conceptually novel application of stable gene inactivation enabling in-depth deconstruction of resistance mechanisms. In theory, this experimental approach is applicable to any cancer-driving gene or pathway and promises to identify various new targets for combination therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endocytosis is regarded as a mechanism of attenuating the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling and of receptor degradation. There is increasing evidence becoming available showing that breast cancer progression is associated with a defect in EGFR endocytosis. In order to find related Ribonucleic acid (RNA) regulators in this process, high-throughput imaging with fluorescent markers is used to visualize the complex EGFR endocytosis process. Subsequently a dedicated automatic image and data analysis system is developed and applied to extract the phenotype measurement and distinguish different developmental episodes from a huge amount of images acquired through high-throughput imaging. For the image analysis, a phenotype measurement quantifies the important image information into distinct features or measurements. Therefore, the manner in which prominent measurements are chosen to represent the dynamics of the EGFR process becomes a crucial step for the identification of the phenotype. In the subsequent data analysis, classification is used to categorize each observation by making use of all prominent measurements obtained from image analysis. Therefore, a better construction for a classification strategy will support to raise the performance level in our image and data analysis system. RESULTS In this paper, we illustrate an integrated analysis method for EGFR signalling through image analysis of microscopy images. Sophisticated wavelet-based texture measurements are used to obtain a good description of the characteristic stages in the EGFR signalling. A hierarchical classification strategy is designed to improve the recognition of phenotypic episodes of EGFR during endocytosis. Different strategies for normalization, feature selection and classification are evaluated. CONCLUSIONS The results of performance assessment clearly demonstrate that our hierarchical classification scheme combined with a selected set of features provides a notable improvement in the temporal analysis of EGFR endocytosis. Moreover, it is shown that the addition of the wavelet-based texture features contributes to this improvement. Our workflow can be applied to drug discovery to analyze defected EGFR endocytosis processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a protein related with the carcinogenesis process and metastasis formation in many tumors. However, little is known about the prognostic value of ANXA1 in breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between ANXA1 expression, BRCA1/2 germline carriership, specific tumor subtypes and survival in breast cancer patients. METHODS Clinical-pathological information and follow-up data were collected from nine breast cancer studies from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC) (n = 5,752) and from one study of familial breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations (n = 107). ANXA1 expression was scored based on the percentage of immunohistochemical staining in tumor cells. Survival analyses were performed using a multivariable Cox model. RESULTS The frequency of ANXA1 positive tumors was higher in familial breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations than in BCAC patients, with 48.6 % versus 12.4 %, respectively; P <0.0001. ANXA1 was also highly expressed in BCAC tumors that were poorly differentiated, triple negative, EGFR-CK5/6 positive or had developed in patients at a young age. In the first 5 years of follow-up, patients with ANXA1 positive tumors had a worse breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) than ANXA1 negative (HRadj = 1.35; 95 % CI = 1.05-1.73), but the association weakened after 10 years (HRadj = 1.13; 95 % CI = 0.91-1.40). ANXA1 was a significant independent predictor of survival in HER2+ patients (10-years BCSS: HRadj = 1.70; 95 % CI = 1.17-2.45). CONCLUSIONS ANXA1 is overexpressed in familial breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations and correlated with poor prognosis features: triple negative and poorly differentiated tumors. ANXA1 might be a biomarker candidate for breast cancer survival prediction in high risk groups such as HER2+ cases.

Abstract
Tumor cell migration is a key process for cancer cell dissemination and metastasis that is controlled by signal-mediated cytoskeletal and cell matrix adhesion remodeling. Using a phagokinetic track assay with migratory H1299 cells, we performed an siRNA screen of almost 1,500 genes encoding kinases/phosphatases and adhesome- and migration-related proteins to identify genes that affect tumor cell migration speed and persistence. Thirty candidate genes that altered cell migration were validated in live tumor cell migration assays. Eight were associated with metastasis-free survival in breast cancer patients, with integrin β3-binding protein (ITGB3BP), MAP3K8, NIMA-related kinase (NEK2), and SHC-transforming protein 1 (SHC1) being the most predictive. Examination of genes that modulate migration indicated that SRPK1, encoding the splicing factor kinase SRSF protein kinase 1, is relevant to breast cancer outcomes, as it was highly expressed in basal breast cancer. Furthermore, high SRPK1 expression correlated with poor breast cancer disease outcome and preferential metastasis to the lungs and brain. In 2 independent murine models of breast tumor metastasis, stable shRNA-based SRPK1 knockdown suppressed metastasis to distant organs, including lung, liver, and spleen, and inhibited focal adhesion reorganization. Our study provides comprehensive information on the molecular determinants of tumor cell migration and suggests that SRPK1 has potential as a drug target for limiting breast cancer metastasis.

Abstract
Cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin)-induced renal proximal tubular apoptosis is known to be preceded by actin cytoskeleton reorganization, in conjunction with disruption of cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. In the present study, we show that the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) aggravated these cisplatin-induced F-actin and cell adhesion changes, which was associated with enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis of immortalized proximal tubular epithelial cells. TNF-α-induced RelB expression and lentiviral small hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of RelB, but not other nuclear factor κB members, abrogated the synergistic apoptosis observed with cisplatin/TNF-α treatment to the level of cisplatin-induced apoptosis. This protective effect was associated with increased stress fiber formation, cell-matrix, and cell-cell adhesion in the shRNARelB (shRelB) cells during cisplatin/TNF-α treatment, mimicking an epithelial-to-mesenchymal phenotypic switch. Indeed, gene array analysis revealed that knockdown of RelB was associated with upregulation of several actin regulatory genes, including Snai2 and the Rho GTPase proteins Rhophilin and Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 3 (ARHGEF3). Pharmacological inhibition of Rho kinase signaling re-established the synergistic apoptosis induced by combined cisplatin/TNF-α treatment of shRelB cells. In conclusion, our study shows for the first time that RelB is required for the cisplatin/TNF-α-induced cytoskeletal reorganization and apoptosis in renal cells by controlling a Rho kinase-dependent signaling network.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Nephrotoxicity is the principal dose-limiting factor for cisplatin chemotherapy and is primarily associated with proximal tubular epithelial cells, including disruption of cell adhesions and induction of apoptosis. Cell adhesion and survival is regulated by, amongst other factors, the small GTPase Rap and its activator, the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac). Epac is particularly enriched in renal tubule epithelium. This study investigates the cytoprotective effects of cAMP-Epac-Rap signalling in a model of cisplatin-induced renal cell injury. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The Epac-selective cAMP analogue 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP was used to activate the Epac-Rap signalling pathway in proximal tubular epithelial cells. Cells were exposed to cisplatin, in the presence or absence of 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP, and nephrotoxicity was determined by monitoring cell-cell junctions and cell apoptosis. KEY RESULTS Activation of Epac-Rap signalling preserves cell-cell junctions and protects against cell apoptosis of mouse proximal tubular cells during cisplatin treatment. Activation with the Epac-selective cAMP analogue 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP or receptor-mediated induction of cAMP both induced cytoprotection against cisplatin, whereas a PKA-selective cAMP analogue was not cytoprotective. 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP mediated cytoprotection was blocked by RNAi-mediated silencing of Epac-Rap signalling in these cells. In contrast, 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP did not protect against cisplatin-induced cell death of cancer cells that lacked Epac1 expression. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our study identifies activation of Epac-Rap signalling as a potential strategy for reducing the nephrotoxicity associated with cisplatin treatments and, as a result, broadens the therapeutic window of this chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract
Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with cell matrix and focal adhesion remodeling. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase that localizes at focal adhesions and regulates their turnover. Here, we investigated the role of FAK in renal I/R injury, using a novel conditional proximal tubule-specific fak-deletion mouse model. Tamoxifen treatment of FAK(loxP/loxP)//γGT-Cre-ER(T2) mice caused renal-specific fak recombination (FAK(ΔloxP/ΔloxP)) and reduction of FAK expression in proximal tubules. In FAK(ΔloxP/ΔloxP) mice compared with FAK(loxP/loxP) controls, unilateral renal ischemia followed by reperfusion resulted in less tubular damage with reduced tubular cell proliferation and lower expression of kidney injury molecule-1, which was independent from the postischemic inflammatory response. Oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of I/R injury. Primary cultured mouse renal cells were used to study the role of FAK deficiency for oxidative stress in vitro. The conditional fak deletion did not affect cell survival after hydrogen peroxide-induced cellular stress, whereas it impaired the recovery of focal adhesions that were disrupted by hydrogen peroxide. This was associated with reduced c-Jun N-terminal kinase-dependent phosphorylation of paxillin at serine 178 in FAK-deficient cells, which is required for focal adhesion turnover. Our findings support a role for FAK as a novel factor in the initiation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase-mediated cellular stress response during renal I/R injury and suggest FAK as a target in renal injury protection.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an important clinical problem. It involves crosstalk between drug toxicity and the immune system, but the exact mechanism at the cellular hepatocyte level is not well understood. Here we studied the mechanism of crosstalk in hepatocyte apoptosis caused by diclofenac and the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). HepG2 cells were treated with diclofenac followed by TNF-α challenge and subsequent evaluation of necrosis and apoptosis. Diclofenac caused a mild apoptosis of HepG2 cells, which was strongly potentiated by TNF-α. A focused apoptosis machinery short interference RNA (siRNA) library screen identified that this TNF-α-mediated enhancement involved activation of caspase-3 through a caspase-8/Bid/APAF1 pathway. Diclofenac itself induced sustained activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and inhibition of JNK decreased both diclofenac and diclofenac/TNF-α-induced apoptosis. Live cell imaging of GFPp65/RelA showed that diclofenac dampened the TNF-α-mediated nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) translocation oscillation in association with reduced NF-κB transcriptional activity. This was associated with inhibition by diclofenac of the TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of the inhibitor of NF-κB alpha (IκBα). Finally, inhibition of IκB kinase β (IKKβ) with BMS-345541 as well as stable lentiviral short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-based knockdown of p65/RelA sensitized hepatocytes towards diclofenac/TNF-α-induced cytotoxicity. CONCLUSION Together, our data suggest a model whereby diclofenac-mediated stress signaling suppresses TNF-α-induced survival signaling routes and sensitizes cells to apoptosis.

Abstract
Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is a candidate regulator of the epithelial- to mesenchymal (EMT)-like phenotypic switch, a pivotal event in breast cancer progression. We show here that AnxA1 expression is associated with a highly invasive basal-like breast cancer subtype both in a panel of human breast cancer cell lines as in breast cancer patients and that AnxA1 is functionally related to breast cancer progression. AnxA1 knockdown in invasive basal-like breast cancer cells reduced the number of spontaneous lung metastasis, whereas additional expression of AnxA1 enhanced metastatic spread. AnxA1 promotes metastasis formation by enhancing TGFbeta/Smad signaling and actin reorganization, which facilitates an EMT-like switch, thereby allowing efficient cell migration and invasion of metastatic breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Acute renal failure due to ischemia/reperfusion involves disruption of integrin-mediated cellular adhesion and activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. The dynamics of focal adhesion organization and phosphorylation during ischemia/reperfusion in relation to ERK activation are unknown. In control kidneys, protein tyrosine-rich focal adhesions, containing focal adhesion kinase, paxillin, and talin, were present at the basolateral membrane of tubular cells and colocalized with short F-actin stress fibers. Unilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion caused a reversible protein dephosphorylation and loss of focal adhesions. The focal adhesion protein phosphorylation rebounded in a biphasic manner, in association with increased focal adhesion kinase, Src, and paxillin tyrosine phosphorylation. Preceding phosphorylation of these focal adhesion proteins, reperfusion caused increased phosphorylation of ERK. The specific mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 inhibitor U0126 prevented ERK activation and attenuated focal adhesion kinase, paxillin, and Src phosphorylation, focal adhesion restructuring, and ischemia/reperfusion-induced renal injury. We propose a model whereby ERK activation enhanced protein tyrosine phosphorylation during ischemia/reperfusion, thereby driving the dynamic dissolution and restructuring of focal adhesions and F-actin cytoskeleton during reperfusion and renal injury.

Abstract
Toxicant exposure affects the activity of various protein tyrosine kinases. Using phosphotyrosine proteomics, we identified proteins that were differentially phosphorylated before renal cell detachment and apoptosis. Treatment of primary cultured rat proximal tubular epithelial cells with the model nephrotoxicant S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) resulted in early reorganization of F-actin stress fibers and formation of lamellipodia, which was followed by cell detachment from the matrix and apoptosis. This was prevented by genistein-mediated inhibition of protein tyrosine kinases and enhanced by inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases using vanadate. Phosphotyrosine proteomics revealed that DCVC-induced renal cell apoptosis was preceded by changes in the tyrosine phosphorylation status of a subset of proteins, as identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS including actin-related protein 2 (Arp2), cytokeratin 8, t-complex protein 1 (TCP-1), chaperone containing TCP-1, and gelsolin precursor. The major differentially tyrosine-phosphorylated protein was Arp2, whereas phosphorylation of Arp3 was not affected. Arp2 was located in the lamellipodia that were formed before the onset of apoptosis. Because DCVC-induced cell detachment and apoptosis is regulated by tyrosine kinases, we propose that alterations in tyrosine phosphorylation of a subset of proteins, including Arp2, play a role in the regulation of the F-actin reorganization and lamellipodia formation that precede renal cell apoptosis caused by nephrotoxicants.

Abstract
Reversible protein phosphorylation plays an important role in the regulation of many different processes, such as cell growth, differentiation, migration, metabolism, and apoptosis. Identification of differentially phosphorylated proteins by means of phospho-proteomic analysis provides insight into signal transduction pathways that are activated in response to, for example, growth factor stimulation or toxicant-induced apoptosis. This review summarizes recent advances made in the field of phospho-proteomics and provides examples of how phospho-proteomic techniques can be combined to quantitatively investigate the dynamic changes in protein phosphorylation in time. By linking experimental data to clinical data (e.g., disease progression or response to therapy) new disease markers could be identified, which could then be validated for applications in disease diagnosis and progression or prediction of a response to drugs.

Abstract
Increasing our knowledge on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of acute renal tubular pathologies will lead to potential novel therapeutic strategies either to prevent the initiation of renal failure or to promote the renal regeneration after injury. Currently many genomic- and proteomic-based techniques are available to identify genes, proteins or protein modifications in relation to renal toxicity. Although we are able to identify many genes and proteins at once, the actual role of the genes and proteins with respect to cellular toxicity needs to be defined in order to better understand the molecular basis of renal cell injury and repair. This review will focus on the relationship between changes in gene and protein expression, cellular perturbations, signal transduction, and mechanisms of toxicity. A focus is on the role of stress response proteins in repair of injured renal cells.

Abstract
We used two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis to determine early changes in the stress-response pathways that precede focal adhesion disorganization linked to the onset of apoptosis of renal epithelial cells. Treatment of LLC-PK1 cells with the model nephrotoxicant 1,2-(dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (DCVC) resulted in a >1.5-fold up- and down-regulation of 14 and 9 proteins, respectively, preceding the onset of apoptosis. Proteins included those involved in metabolism, i.e. aconitase and pyruvate dehydrogenase, and those related to stress responses and cytoskeletal reorganization, i.e. cofilin, Hsp27, and alpha-b-crystallin. The most prominent changes were found for Hsp27, which was related to a pI shift in association with an altered phosphorylation status of serine residue 82. Although both p38 and JNK were activated by DCVC, only inhibition of p38 with SB203580 reduced Hsp27 phosphorylation, which was associated with accelerated reorganization of focal adhesions, cell detachment, and apoptosis. In contrast, inhibition of JNK with SP600125 maintained cell adhesion as well as protection against apoptosis. Active JNK co-localized at focal adhesions after DCVC treatment in a FAK-dependent manner. Inhibition of active JNK localization at focal adhesions did not prevent DCVC-induced phosphorylation of Hsp27. Overexpression of a phosphorylation-defective mutant Hsp27 acted as a dominant negative and accelerated the DCVC-induced changes in the focal adhesions as well as the onset of apoptosis. Our data fit a model whereby early p38 activation results in a rapid phosphorylation of Hsp27, a requirement for proper maintenance of cell adhesion, thus suppressing renal epithelial cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a commonly used antitumor agent in the treatment of various human cancers, with nephrotoxicity as a major side effect. Cisplatin causes the loss of cell-cell contacts of renal proximal tubular epithelial cells prior to the onset of apoptosis. We studied the involvement of protein kinase C in these events in the renal epithelial cell line LLC-PK1. Cisplatin caused apoptosis in LLC-PK1 cells, which was directly related to the activation of caspase-3 and DNA fragmentation. Apoptosis was almost completely inhibited by the protein kinase C inhibitors bisindolylmaleimide (Bis) I and Go6983 [2-[1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-5-methoxyindol-3-yl]-3-(1H-indol-3-yl) maleimide], but not by Go6976 [12-(2-cyanoethyl)-6,7,12,13-tetrahydro-13-methyl-5-oxo-5H-indolo(2,3-a)pyrrolo(3,4-c)-carbazole]. Also, in primary cultured rat renal proximal tubular cells, inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibited apoptosis. Cisplatin also caused the early loss of cell-cell adhesions, which was associated with the altered localization of the adherens junction-associated protein beta-catenin in association with PKC-mediated phosphorylation of the actincapping protein adducin. These events preceded and were independent of caspase activation. beta-Catenin did not dissociate from E-cadherin. Cisplatin-induced loss of cell-cell contacts was associated with the increased formation of F-actin stress fibers, which was inhibited by Bis I and Go6983 as well as dominant-negative PKC-epsilon. Also, the loss of cell-cell adhesions by cisplatin was prevented by Bis I and Go6983. Activation of protein kinase C with phorbol esters promoted cisplatin-induced loss of cell-cell adhesions as well as apoptosis. In conclusion, the combined data fit a model whereby protein kinase C mediates the cisplatin-induced loss of cellular interactions. Such a loss of these interactions has a role in the onset of apoptosis.
