Gene expression profile biomarkers and therapeutic targets for brain aging and age-related cognitive impairment

A statistical and functional correlation strategy to identify changes in cellular pathways specifically linked to impaired cognitive function with aging. Analyses using the strategy identified multiple groups of genes expressed in the hippocampi of mammals, where the genes were expressed at different levels for several ages. The aging changes in expression began before mid-life. Many of the genes were involved in specific neuronal and glial pathways with previously unrecognized relationships to aging and / or cognitive decline. The processes identified by the strategy suggest a new hypothesis of brain aging in which initially decreased neuronal activity and / or oxidative metabolism trigger separate but parallel genomic cascades in neurons and glia. In neurons, the cascade results in elevations in calcium signaling and reductions of immediate early gene signaling, biosynthesis, synaptogenesis and neurite remodeling. In contrast, glia undergo increased lipid metabolism and mediate a cycle of demyelination and remyelination that induces antigen presentation, inflammation, oxidative stress and extracellular restructuring. These identified genes and the proteins they encode can be used as novel biomarkers of brain aging and as targets for developing treatment methods against age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.

Protein Tyrosine Phosphate Mutations in Cancers

Tyrosine phosphorylation, regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and kinases (PTKs), is important in signaling pathways underlying tumorigenesis. A mutational analysis of the tyrosine phosphatase gene superfamily in human cancers identified 83 somatic mutations in six PTPs (PTPRF, PTPRG, PTPRT, PTPN3, PTPN13, PTPN14) affecting 26% of colorectal cancers and a smaller fraction of lung, breast and gastric cancers. Fifteen mutations were nonsense, frameshift or splice site alterations predicted to result in truncated proteins lacking phosphatase activity. Five missense mutations in the most commonly altered PTP (PTPRP) were biochemically examined and found to reduce phosphatase activity. Expression of wild-type but not a mutant PTPRT in human cancer cells inhibited cell growth. These observations suggest that the tyrosine phosphatase genes are tumor suppressor genes, regulating cellular pathways that may be amenable to therapeutic intervention.

Methods for identifying new drug leads and new therapeutic uses for known drugs

The screening system utilizes dynamic measurements of pathway activity to detect the activities of drugs within cellular pathways. The methods of the invention can be used to identify previously unknown drug activities and therapeutic uses, even for drugs that have been well characterized with standard biochemical assays. We demonstrated the utility of the invention by screening a portion of the known pharmacopeia. We identified dozens of drugs, previously or currently marked for a variety of indications, with surprising and previously-unsuspected activity against ‘hallmark’ cancer pathways. We also showed that over 20 of these drugs indeed have anti-proliferative activity in human tumor cells, underscoring the utility and predictability of the screening system. The methodology will extend the utility of the current pharmacopeia and provide the basis for de novo discovery of drugs with a broad range of therapeutic indications.

Integrated Analyses of Breast and Colorectal Cancers

Genome-wide analysis of copy number changes in breast and colorectal tumors used approaches that can reliably detect homozygous deletions and amplifications. The number of genes altered by major copy number changes—deletion of all copies or amplification of at least twelve copies per cell—averaged thirteen per tumor. These data were integrated with previous mutation analyses of the Reference Sequence genes in these same tumor types to identify genes and cellular pathways affected by both copy number changes and point alterations. Pathways enriched for genetic alterations include those controlling cell adhesion, intracellular signaling, DNA topological change, and cell cycle control. These analyses provide an integrated view of copy number and sequencing alterations on a genome-wide scale and identify genes and pathways that are useful for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

A conditional allelic system is provided where recombinant cells express a fusion protein, where the fusion protein comprises at least a functional portion of a target protein and a destabilizing peptide. The destabilizing peptide binds to a small stabilizing molecule that results in the stabilization of the fusion protein in a functional form, while in the absence of the small stabilizing molecule, the protein function is substantially reduced. The system finds use in studying cellular pathways, preparing transgenic animals that can develop in the presence of the small stabilizing molecule and can then be studied in the presence and absence of the fusion protein to determine the functions and / or effects of target protein function in and / or on various environments. Specifically, a mutated peptide from mTOR is employed as the destabilizing peptide and a modified rapamycin is employed as the small stabilizing molecule.
