AI Article Synopsis

  • Gain-of-function mutations in SHP2, like D61Y and E76K, are linked to the development of neoplasms in blood cells and result in cytokine-independent survival and activation of the MAPK pathway.
  • Transcriptome analysis showed substantial differences in gene expression between SHP2-D61Y and SHP2-E76K HCD-57 cells and normal controls, identifying over 2,400 dysregulated genes related to metabolic processes.
  • The study highlighted significant enrichments in pathways like glutathione metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis, with specific genes involved in the production of asparagine, serine, and glycine being notably up-regulated, contributing to our understanding of mutant SHP2

Article Abstract

Gain-of-function mutations of SHP2, especially D61Y and E76K, lead to the development of neoplasms in hematopoietic cells. Previously, we found that SHP2-D61Y and -E76K confer HCD-57 cells cytokine-independent survival and proliferation activation of MAPK pathway. Metabolic reprogramming is likely to be involved in leukemogenesis led by mutant SHP2. However, detailed pathways or key genes of altered metabolisms are unknown in leukemia cells expressing mutant SHP2. In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis to identify dysregulated metabolic pathways and key genes using HCD-57 transformed by mutant SHP2. A total of 2443 and 2273 significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in HCD-57 expressing SHP2-D61Y and -E76K compared with parental cells as the control, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and Reactome enrichment analysis showed that a large proportion of DEGs were involved in the metabolism process. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were the mostly enriched in glutathione metabolism and biosynthesis of amino acids in metabolic pathways. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed that the expression of mutant SHP2 led to a significant activation of biosynthesis of amino acids pathway in HCD-57 expressing mutant SHP2 compared with the control. Particularly, we found that , , , and involved in the biosynthesis of asparagine, serine, and glycine were remarkably up-regulated. Together, these transcriptome profiling data provided new insights into the metabolic mechanisms underlying mutant SHP2-driven leukemogenesis.

Phosphate (Pi) homeostasis at the cellular level is crucial, requiring coordinated Pi uptake, storage, and export. However, the regulatory mechanisms, particularly those governing Pi export, remain elusive, despite their relevance to human diseases like primary familial brain calcification. While Xpr1, conserved across eukaryotes, is the only known Pi exporter, the existence of additional Pi exporting factors is evident; however, these factors have been poorly characterized.

SHP2-E76K, a mutant encoded by the PTPN11 gene, was associated with various solid tumors, such as lung cancer, glioblastoma, and intellectual disability. SHP2-E76K has become potential drug targets, while there was no effective inhibitor against the mutant currently. At present, the crystal complex structure of SHP099 with SHP2-E76K has been reported in the RCSB PDB protein data bank, however, the dynamic structure of SHP099 binding to the active center of SHP2-E76K protein was still lacking.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the removal of oncoproteins in liver cells affects the development of liver cancer (HCC) induced by the chemical diethylnitrosamine (DEN).
  • Researchers created mutant mouse models to analyze how the absence of specific genes (Met, Ptpn11/Shp2, Ikkβ, and Ctnnb1/β-catenin) altered tumor development and performed extensive genetic testing on liver samples.
  • Findings indicate that removing oncoproteins increases genetic mutations and alters important signaling pathways linked to cancer progression, highlighting complex mechanisms in liver tumor development and recurrence.

Mutant selective drugs targeting the inactive, GDP-bound form of KRAS have been approved for use in lung cancer, but resistance develops rapidly. Here we use an inhibitor, (RMC-4998) that targets RAS in its active, GTP-bound form, to treat KRAS mutant lung cancer in various immune competent mouse models. RAS pathway reactivation after RMC-4998 treatment could be delayed using combined treatment with a SHP2 inhibitor, which not only impacts tumour cell RAS signalling but also remodels the tumour microenvironment to be less immunosuppressive.
