Ductal carcinomas are increasingly diagnosed but identifying which will progress to invasive disease remains difficult highlighting an urgent need for new biomarkers that distinguish ductal carcinomas on this basis. Planar cell polarity (PCP) proteins contribute to tumour growth and invasion. Recent studies identify CELSR1, a key PCP gene, as a novel biomarker for early-stage breast cancer. CELSR1 is reactivated in luminal-type ductal carcinomas. The impact of CELSR1 on cancer progression, however, is unclear. Our working hypothesis is that distinct CELSR1 protein isoforms differentially regulate tissue adhesiveness by influencing the stability/plasticity of cell-cell and cell-matrix contacts. Notably, our pilot data from luminal-type breast cancer cell lines representative of breast carcinomas with lower versus higher invasive potential reveal differential enrichment of CELSR1 protein isoforms. To test the specific hypothesis that biased expression of CELSR1 isoforms will predict invasive potential of a luminal breast carcinoma we will (a) determine, via loss-of-function assays in vitro and in vivo, whether CELSR1 protein isoforms differentially influence the stability of cell-cell and/or cell-matrix adhesions to dictate breast tumour invasive mechanism (b) quantify CELSR1 isoform expression (mRNA and protein) within patient luminal carcinoma samples exhibiting non-invasive or invasive features, the latter including heterogeneous tumours with mixed pathology. Through study of known protein isoforms of CELSR1, which would be missed in gene expression microarray analyses, we hope to illuminate the prognostic potential of CELSR1 for early-stage breast cancer."

The role of GPR56 in the kidneys has been understudied. A recent study demonstrated that GPR56 in the glomerular endothelial cells promoted diabetic kidney disease progression via regulation of eNOS. Using RNAscope in situ hybridization (ISH) for GPR56, aquaporin 2 and NKCC2 (thick ascending limb, TAL marker), we detected GPR56 mRNA highly expressed in the collecting duct and TAL of the loop of Henle with limited expression in the proximal tubule. To determine the physiological role of GPR56 in the collecting duct, we generated a collecting duct-specific GPR56 knockout (GPR56CD-KO) mouse model by crossing GPR56flox (Control) with cadherin 16 Cre mice. The deletion of GPR56 in the collecting duct was confirmed by RNAscope ISH. GPR56CD-KO mice were born at predicted Mendelian frequencies, appeared grossly indistinguishable from Con mice, and developed normally. For baseline phenotypic characterization, blood gas analysis showed no differences in blood pH, blood HCO3-, blood Na+, or blood K+ between GPR56CD-KO and control mice. Metabolic cage experiments demonstrated no differences in fluid intake, urine volume, urinary pH or urine osmolality between genotypes in baseline. 24hr water deprivation experiment showed that GPR56CD-KO mice can concentrate urine as effectively as control mice. In conclusion, we successfully generated collecting duct-specific GPR56 knockout mouse and found no defective urine concentrating ability in GPR56CD-KO mice. This mouse model will be useful to delineate the collecting duct-specific role of GPR56 for renal function, including acid-base regulation."

University of Alabama at Birmingham" About Virginea de Araujo Farias "Brain Angiogenesis Inhibitor (BAI) proteins are members of group VII of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR) family. BAI1-3 are highly expressed in the brain, where they participate in synaptogenesis and synapse maintenance. In cancers, BAI1-3 expression can be lost through epigenetic silencing, copy number loss or truncating mutations. In medulloblastomas (MB), BAI3 (ADGRB3) expression is specifically reduced in the WNT-activated group (WNT-MB), but not in the other three molecular groups. WNT pathway activation in WNT-MB is driven by mutations of the CTNNB1 gene, activating ß-catenin-dependent signaling; however, no interactions between BAI3 and the WNT signaling pathway have been described so far. MAGI3, a PDZ-containing scaffolding protein is known to downregulate WNT signaling by interacting with ß-catenin in gliomas, but it is unknown whether this involves BAI3. To explore a possible connection between BAI3 and ß-catenin signaling through MAGI3 in WNT-MB, we probed for potential protein-protein interactions using co-IP experiments. We found an interaction between BAI3 and MAGI3 in mouse brain lysates. Therefore, we hypothesize that re-expression of BAI3 in WNT-MB cells will restrain ß-catenin activity through the formation of a BAI3/MAGI3/ß-catenin complex, reducing their tumorigenic properties. To test this hypothesis, we created WNT-like MB cell lines stably expressing tet-on wild-type BAI3 or a BAI3 lacking the C-terminal PDZ-binding motif (PBM). We will present the effects of BAI3 re-expression on WNT-MB cells oncogenic properties and signaling." Virginea de Araujo Farias on the web Google Scholar Conformational And Functional Coupling Between Extracellular and Transmembrane Regions of a Holo-Adhesion GPCR Szymon P. Kordon Abstract "Adhesion G Protein-Coupled Receptors (aGPCRs) are key cell-adhesion molecules involved in numerous physiological functions. aGPCRs have large multi-domain extracellular regions (ECR) that mediate cell adhesion and play roles in transmitting extracellular signals to the inside of the cell. Ligand binding and mechanical force applied on the ECR regulate receptor function. However, how the ECR communicates with the seven-pass transmembrane domain (7TM) remains elusive, because the relative orientation and dynamics of the ECR and 7TM within a holoreceptor is unclear. Here, we describe the cryo-EM reconstruction of an aGPCR, Latrophilin3/ADGRL3, and reveal that the conserved GAIN domain, that directly precedes 7TM, adopts a parallel orientation to the membrane and has constrained movement. Single-molecule FRET experiments unveil three slow-exchanging FRET states of the ECR relative to the 7TM within the holoreceptor. GAIN-targeted antibodies, and cancer-associated mutations at the GAIN-7TM interface, alter holoreceptor conformations, and modulate downstream receptor signaling. Altogether, this data demonstrates conformational and functional coupling between the ECR and 7TM, suggesting an ECR-mediated mechanism for aGPCR activation."

Ligand-induced GPR110 signaling stimulates neurogenesis and synaptogenesis during development, and the absence of the ligand-induced signaling causes object recognition and spatial memory deficits in adulthood and increased neuroinflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the role of GPR110 signaling in behavioral consequences has not been fully explored. This study aimed to understand the effects of GPR110 on mouse behaviors in relation to neurodevelopmental and neuroimmune gene and protein expression. Anxiety and memory function were tested using both male and female mice at 5-6 month of age. GPR110 knockout (KO) mice displayed trends for increased anxiety-like behaviors in the elevated plus maze test and in the open field test. Memory tests, including the novel object test and the radial 8-arm maze showed worsened spatial and reference memory in the GPR110 KO mice compared to wildtype mice. The y-maze showed a significant sex by genotype interactions with GPR110 KO male mice having increased number of correct alterations and errors, while the GPR110 KO females had fewer correct alterations and errors. RNAseq data indicated significantly impaired developmental gene expression for neuronal differentiation, axonogenesis, and synaptogenesis, as well as altered neuroinflammatory marker expression in GPR110 KO mouse brains. Further studies exploring the protein expression and neural activity of these mouse brain will give insight on the mechanism underlying the behavioral consequences associated with the GPR110 receptor.

Our first main research aspect is the identification of endogenous ligand of GPCRs. We have identified the receptor subfamily to sense the steroid hormones. For instance, membrane receptor GPR97 is able to sense glucocorticoid to mediate its rapid actions, the progesterone and 17-hydroxyprogesterone membrane receptor are GPR126. We also identified DHEA, DHEAS and DOC are endogenous ligands of GPR64 etc (Nature, 2021a, Nat Chem Biol 2022, PNAS 2022b). Our second main research aspect is dissecting the molecular mechanism underlying sensation of force, ordor, itch and taste by GPCRs. We have elucidated the mechanism of receptors' perception of itch, olfactory and force (Nature 2021b, 2022a, 2022b, 2023a, 2024). Our third main research aspect is working mechanism of GPCR. For arrestin mediated biased signaling, we have proposed the “flute model” and “poly proline region docking theory” etc. to explain the arrestin mediated GPCR functions (Nature communications, 2015, 2021, 2022; PNAS 2021, Molecular Pharmacology, 2017; Recommended by Faculty 1000, Nature Chemical Biology 2018). We identified that arrestin can mediated AT1R/TRPC3 or M3R/TRPC3 coupling by forming a complex of AT1R/β-arrestin-1/PLCγ/TRPC3 or M3R//β-arrestin-1/TRPC3 (Nature communications, 2017, Nature communications, 2018). We also identified that orphan receptor GPR64 forms complex with β-arrestin-1 and CFTR at apical membrane of efferent ductulus to regulate the salt/water metabolism (eLife 2018, Faculty 1000 recommendation). Our fourth main research aspect is ligand coding mechanisms and structural aided drug discovery of GPCR. We have decoded the mechanisms underlying recognition of fish oil (unsaturated fatty acids) and other lipids by GPCRs (Science 2023, Science Advance 2021, PNAS 2023, Nature Metabolism 2023), recognition of amine containing hormones by GPCRs (Cell 2021, 2023, Nature 2023b), bile acids or its derivatives by GPCRs (Nature 2020)."

Much of this work centered on elucidating novel mechanisms by which β-adrenergic receptors impact cardiac structure and function, and has evolved to encompass their roles in regulating immune cell response to acute cardiac injury or chronic stress. Additionally, the lab has begun to investigate potential roles for previously unrecognized cardiac-expressed GPCRs in the regulation of physiologic/pathologic function in the heart in an effort to uncover novel therapeutic directions for HF, including adhesion GPCRs (AGPCRs). In all, research in the Tilley lab spans molecular pharmacology to pathophysiology studies focused primarily in the cardiovascular realm."
