Abstract The molecular mechanisms governing the secretion of the non-coding genome are poorly understood. We show herein that cyclin D1, the regulatory subunit of the cyclin-dependent kinase that drives cell-cycle progression, governs the secretion and relative proportion of secreted non-coding RNA subtypes (miRNA, rRNA, tRNA, CDBox, scRNA, HAcaBox. scaRNA, piRNA) in human breast cancer. Cyclin D1 induced the secretion of miRNA governing the tumor immune response and oncogenic miRNAs. miR-21 and miR-93, which bind Toll-Like Receptor 8 to trigger a pro-metastatic inflammatory response, represented >85% of the cyclin D1-induced secreted miRNA transcripts. Furthermore, cyclin D1 regulated secretion of the P-element Induced WImpy testis (PIWI)-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) including piR-016658 and piR-016975 that governed stem cell expansion, and increased the abundance of the PIWI member of the Argonaute family, piwil2 in ERα positive breast cancer. The cyclin D1-mediated secretion of pro-tumorigenic immuno-miRs and piRNAs may contribute to tumor initiation and progression.

Cyclins and proto-oncogenes including c-myc have been implicated in eukaryotic cell cycle control. The role of cyclins in steroidal regulation of cell proliferation is unknown, but a role for c-myc has been suggested. This study investigated the relationship between regulation of T-47D breast cancer cell cycle progression, particularly by steroids and their antagonists, and changes in the levels of expression of these genes. Sequential induction of cyclins D1 (early G1 phase), D3, E, A (late G1-early S phase), and B1 (G2 phase) was observed following insulin stimulation of cell cycle progression in serum-free medium. Transient acceleration of G1-phase cells by progestin was also accompanied by rapid induction of cyclin D1, apparent within 2 h. This early induction of cyclin D1 and the ability of delayed administration of antiprogestin to antagonize progestin-induced increases in both cyclin D1 mRNA and the proportion of cells in S phase support a central role for cyclin D1 in mediating the mitogenic response in T-47D cells. Compatible with this hypothesis, antiestrogen treatment reduced the expression of cyclin D1 approximately 8 h before changes in cell cycle phase distribution accompanying growth inhibition. In the absence of progestin, antiprogestin treatment inhibited T-47D cell cycle progression but in contrast did not decrease cyclin D1 expression. Thus, changes in cyclin D1 gene expression are often, but not invariably, associated with changes in the rate of T-47D breast cancer cell cycle progression. However, both antiestrogen and antiprogestin depleted c-myc mRNA by > 80% within 2 h. These data suggest the involvement of both cyclin D1 and c-myc in the steroidal control of breast cancer cell cycle progression.

Abstract The estrogen receptor α (ERα) is known to convey both genomic and extra-genomic activities. The extra-nuclear estrogen signaling pathway is thought to involve a membrane-associated estrogen receptor (ERα), which activates PI3-kinase and Akt signaling. Maximal activation of Akt requires S473 phosphorylation. The essential G1-cyclin, CCND1, is a collaborative nuclear oncogene that is frequently overexpressed in cancer. D-type cyclins bind and activate CDK4/6, contributing to G1-S cell-cycle progression. Herein, cyclin D1 was shown to be located in the cytoplasmic membrane of patients with inflammatory breast cancer, human diploid fibroblasts and cancer cell lines (breast, prostate). The extra-nuclear vs. nuclear E2-induced signaling pathways can be distinguished using 17β-estradiol linked to a dendrimer conjugate (EDC), which excludes estradiol from the nucleus. In contrast with the nuclear-localized form of cyclin D1 (cyclin D1NL), the cytoplasmic membrane-localized form of cyclin D1 (cyclin D1CML) was sufficient to induce phosphorylation of the serine threonine kinase Akt (Ser473) and augmented extra-nuclear localized 17β-estradiol dendrimer conjugate (EDC)-mediated phosphorylation of Akt (Ser473). Cyclin D1CML was sufficient to induce G1-S cell-cycle progression, cellular proliferation, colony formation. In contrast with cyclin D1NL, the cyclin D1CML induced transwell migration and the velocity of cellular migration. Together these studies suggest distinct subcellular compartments of cell cycle proteins may convey distinct functions. The major adjuvant therapy for the ~70% of ERα expressing human breast cancer involves anti-estrogen therapy and the ERα/PI3K/Akt complex pathway is hyperactivated in aggressive breast tumors. The non-genomic actions of E2/ERα, mediated via cyclin D1CML may provide an important additional target. References. 1. 2. Casimiro MC et al Mol Endocrinol. 2013;27(9):1415-28.

AbstractZebrafish dorsal forerunner cells (DFCs) undergo vigorous proliferation during epiboly and then exit cell cycle to generate Kupffer’s vesicle (KV), a ciliated organ necessary for establishing left-right (L-R) asymmetry. DFC proliferation defects are often accompanied by impaired cilia elongation in KV, but the functional and molecular interaction between cell-cycle progression and cilia formation remains unknown. Here we show that chemokine receptor Cxcr4a is required for L-R laterality by controlling DFC proliferation and KV ciliogenesis. Functional analysis revealed that Cxcr4a accelerates G1/S transition in DFCs and stabilizes Foxj1a, a master regulator of motile cilia, by stimulating Cyclin D1 expression through ERK1/2 signaling. Mechanistically, Cyclin D1-CDK4/6 drives G1/S transition during DFC proliferation and phosphorylates Foxj1a, thereby disrupting its association with Psmd4b, a 19S regulatory subunit. This prevents the ubiquitin-independent proteasomal degradation of Foxj1a. Our study uncovers a role for Cxcr4 signaling in L-R patterning and provides fundamental insights into the molecular linkage between cell-cycle progression and ciliogenesis.Author summaryDuring the organogenesis of zebrafish L-R organizer named KV, DFCs proliferate rapidly during epiboly and then exit the cell cycle to differentiate into ciliated epithelial KV cells. Cell cycle defects in DFCs are often accompanied by an alteration in KV cilia elongation. However, whether the cell cycle and cilia formation are mechanistically linked remains as an open question. In this study, we report that Cxcr4 signaling is required for DFC proliferation and KV ciliogenesis. We reveal that Cxcl12b/Cxcr4a signaling activates ERK1/2, which then promotes Cyclin D1 expression. Cyclin D1-CDK4/6 accelerates the G1/S transition in DFCs, while also facilitates cilia formation via stabilization of Foxj1a. Notably, Foxj1 undergoes proteasomal degradation via Ub-independent pathway during KV organogenesis. Our study further demonstrates that CDK4 phosphorylates and stabilizes Foxj1a by disrupting its association with Psmd4b, a 19S regulatory subunit. In summary, Cxcl12b/Cxcr4a chemokine signaling links cell cycle progression and cilia formation for L-R symmetry breaking via regulating Cyclin D1 expression.

Antioestrogen therapy is a highly effective treatment for patients with oestrogen-receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, emphasising the central role of oestrogen action in the development and progression of this disease. However, effective antioestrogen treatment is often compromised by acquired endocrine resistance, prompting the need for a greater understanding of the down-stream mediators of oestrogen action that may contribute to this effect. Recent studies have demonstrated a critical link between oestrogen’s mitogenic effects and cell cycle progression, particularly at the G1 to S transition where key effectors of oestrogen action are c-Myc and cyclin D1, which converge on the activation of cyclin E-cdk2. These components are rapidly upregulated in response to oestrogen, and can mimic its actions on cell cycle progression, including re-initiating cell proliferation in antioestrogen-arrested cells. Here we review the roles of c-Myc, cyclin D1 and cyclin E in oestrogen action and endocrine resistance, and identify their potential as markers of disease progression and endocrine responsiveness, and as novel therapeutic targets in endocrine-resistant breast cancer.

The cyclin D1 gene encodes the regulatory subunit of a holoenzyme that phosphorylates and inactivates the retinoblastoma protein, thereby promoting cell-cycle progression. Cyclin D1 is overexpressed in hematopoetic and epithelial malignancies correlating with poor prognosis and metastasis in several cancer types. Because tumor-associated macrophages have been shown to enhance malignant progression and metastasis, and cyclin D1-deficient mice are resistant to oncogene-induced malignancies, we investigated the function of cyclin D1-/-bone marrow-derived macrophages. Cyclin D1 deficiency increased focal complex formation at the site of substratum contact, and enhanced macrophage adhesion, yielding a flattened, circular morphology with reduced membrane ruffles. Migration in response to wounding, cytokine-mediated chemotaxis, and transendothelial cell migration of cyclin D1-/-bone marrow-derived macrophages were all substantially reduced. Thus, apart from proliferative and possible motility defects in the tumor cells themselves, the reduced motility and invasiveness of cyclin D1-/-tumor-associated macrophages may contribute to the tumor resistance of these mice.
