- Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor J (PTPRJ) restrains cell proliferation and migration by dephosphorylating receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). PTPRJ is a purported tumor suppressor, and alterations to its expression and/or function are associated with colorectal, breast, lung, and other cancers. While there is interest in controlling PTPRJ-regulated phenotypes, efforts are limited by the complexity of PTPRJ-mediated signaling. PTPRJ dephosphorylates multiple RTKs, and the degree to which PTPRJ control of signaling and phenotypes depends on local cellular RTK activation profiles is unknown. To probe the context dependence of PTPRJ signaling regulation, we collected signaling measurements across 16 pathway nodes at two time points in a panel of HSC3 carcinoma cells engineered with different PTPRJ expression profiles. Cells were treated with three different RTK ligands, and paired phenotype measurements (viability, wound healing, xCELLigence cell index) were made. Partial least squares regression models were developed to predict relationships between PTPRJ-regulated signaling pathways and cell phenotypes. The model effectively separated contributions to variance arising from the PTPRJ expression background and growth factor context. In testing model predictions, we demonstrated that PTPRJ suppressed MET-induced cell cell proliferation via regulation of a HER3/AKT signaling axis that stabilized PTPRJ expression through an unanticipated feedback mechanism. We also found that PTPRJ regulated HSC3 cell migration via JNK signaling that was preferentially activated by MET. Our results identify new regulatory nodes through which PTPRJ influences cancer cell phenotypes and demonstrates that these processes preferentially occur in the context of distinct RTK activation states. - Source: PubMed

Hart Will SKnight Katie MRizzo SophieLee Sung HyunFetter RachelThevenin DamienLazzara Matthew J - The liver has a unique capacity for self-renewal, maintaining a proper liver-to-bodyweight ratio, which is essential for sustaining homeostasis. Regenerative process in the liver involves intricate communication between various cell types such as hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, endothelial cells, and inflammatory cells. Although the role of endothelial cells in liver regeneration has been extensively studied, detailed knowledge regarding specific endothelial cell-derived factors that promote the regeneration of liver endothelial cells (LECs) remains limited. This study aimed to identify the regenerative capacity of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) after acute liver injury. - Source: PubMed

Gene expression profiles from dataset GSE100927 (69 plaques, 35 controls) were normalized and analyzed for differential expression using the limma package (FDR < 0.01). A TabTransformer model employing multi-head self-attention was trained (80/20 split, 10-fold cross-validation) to predict disease status, and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis quantified gene-level contributions. Network topology was examined using STRING and Cytoscape to identify hub genes through betweenness centrality, while pathway enrichment was assessed via GO and KEGG analyses. Among 638 differentially expressed genes (402 upregulated, 236 downregulated), the TabTransformer achieved a mean AUC of 0.964, surpassing the LASSO baseline by 3.8%. The top-ranked genes, TYROBP, TNF, PTPRJ, DHRS9, and COL1A1, were primarily involved in leukocyte activation, NF-κB signaling, and smooth muscle dysfunction. Experimental assays in oxidized LDL-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells confirmed significant upregulation of TYROBP (6.3-fold) and TNF (4.8-fold), validating computational predictions. These findings support an immunoinflammatory axis linked to the suppression of smooth muscle identity in atherosclerosis, and highlight TYROBP and TNF as mechanistically plausible candidate biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets. - Source: PubMed
Yan DongdongLi WenqiangXing ErkunWang PeiZhang Zheng - Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) are key regulators of cell signaling. However, their study and therapeutic targeting have been limited by the lack of known natural ligands or selective agonists, as well as an incomplete understanding of their structure-function relationships. Nonetheless, receptor homodimerization has been shown to suppress RPTP catalytic activity by restricting substrate access, offering a promising strategy for examining and modulating their function. Our previous work on PTPRJ, a member of the RPTP family, showed that its transmembrane domain regulates homodimerization, thereby controlling access to receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) substrates and their phosphorylation levels. We also developed peptides that disrupt this dimerization, thereby inhibiting RTK phosphorylation and reducing cancer cell migration. These peptides were then engineered for selective, pH-sensitive insertion into the acidic tumor microenvironment to enhance efficacy while limiting off-target effects. Yet how broadly PTPRJ activation reshapes the phosphotyrosine landscape and whether those changes yield coherent cellular phenotypes remains unclear. In this study, we employed tyrosine phosphoproteomics, immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, and functional assays to assess the global impact of our lead peptide candidate, Hybrid 7, in A549 lung cancer cells that endogenously express PTPRJ. We find that Hybrid 7 decreases EGFR phosphorylation and selectively reduces phosphorylation across additional RTKs and motility adaptors, producing strong inhibition of EGF-driven migration and reduced proliferation. Hybrid 7 also elevates reactive oxygen species and DNA damage, and enforces CDK1-dependent G2/M arrest, indicating a primarily cytostatic, checkpoint-mediated response. These findings highlight the potential of RPTP-targeting peptides as valuable tools for dissecting RPTP function and as possible therapeutic agents capable of modulating key oncogenic pathways and inhibiting cancer progression. - Source: PubMed

Rizzo SophieHart William SFetter Rachel LSong BokaiWhite Forest MLazzara Matthew JThévenin Damien - Advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques and precision oncology paradigms have significantly optimized the management of colorectal cancer (CRC). The advent of endoscopic superminimally invasive surgery (ESMIS) has led to comprehensive evaluations of its proteomic impact in patients with CRC. This prospective study utilized Olink plasma proteomic profiling to delineate ESMIS-versus laparoscopic surgery (LS)-associated molecular variations in CRC cohorts, with validation via immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Western blotting (WB) methodologies. The results demonstrated that ESMIS significantly attenuated the surgical invasiveness. Calcitonin (CALCA) and platelet-derived growth factor C (PDGFC) emerged as potential biomarkers for invasive damage assessment, while amnionless (AMN), low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1), receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase eta (PTPRJ), and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase TIGAR were identified as novel diagnostic indicators for CRC. IF, IHC, and WB analyses corroborated Olink findings, confirming significantly decreased AMN, LRP1, FOXO1, and PTPRJ expression in malignant cells and tissues. Future investigations of minimally invasive CRC therapies should prioritize cellular proliferation, metabolic reprogramming, stress response, and apoptosis. Collectively, these findings establish a molecular foundation for precision surgery and provide novel insights into the CRC pathophysiology and iatrogenic organ damage mechanisms. - Source: PubMed
