Abstract
Merlin is a tumour suppressor involved in the development of a variety of tumours including mesotheliomas. Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), a dominantly inherited tumour disease, is also caused by loss of merlin. NF2 patients suffer from multiple genetically well-defined tumours, schwannomas are most frequent among those. Using our in vitro model for human schwannoma, we found that schwannoma cells display enhanced proliferation because of the overexpression/activation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor and ErbB2/3, increased cell-matrix adhesion because of the overexpression of integrins, and decreased apoptosis. Mechanisms underlying schwannomas basal proliferation and cell-matrix adhesion are not understood. Here, we investigated insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), which is expressed and released from central nervous system tumours and strongly overexpressed in schwannoma at the mRNA level. IGFBP-1 acts via β1-integrin and focal-adhesion-kinase (FAK), which are strongly overexpressed and basally activated in schwannoma. Using short hairpin RNA knockdown, small inhibitors and recombinant IGFBP-1, we demonstrate that schwannoma cells, in contrast to Schwann cells, release IGFBP-1 that activates the Src/FAK pathway, via integrin β1, potentiating schwannoma's proliferation and cell-matrix adhesion. We show that FAK localizes to the nucleus and Src triggers IGFBP-1 production. Further, we observed downregulation of the tumour-suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog in schwannoma cells leading to increased activity of anti-apoptotic AKT. Thus, IGFBP-1/integrin β1/Src/FAK pathway has a crucial role in merlin-related tumourigenesis and therefore represents an important therapeutic target the treatment of merlin-deficient tumours.

Abstrakt
Merlin jest supresorem nowotworowym zaangażowanym w rozwój różnorodnych nowotworów, w tym mesotheliomas. Nerwiakowłókniakowatość typu 2 (NF2), dominująca choroba dziedziczna nowotwór jest również spowodowana utratą Merlin. NF2 pacjenci cierpią z powodu wielu ,genetycznie dobrze zdefiniowanych nowotworów, schwannoma jest najczęstszym wśród nich. Przy użyciu naszego ludzkiego in vitro modelu schwannomy, okazało się, że komórki schwannomy wykazują zwiększoną proliferację z powodu nadekspresji / aktywacji receptora płytkopochodnego czynnika wzrostu i receptora ErbB2/3, zwiększoną adhesję ze względu na nadprodukcję integryn oraz zmniejszaną apoptozę . Mechanizmy leżące u podstaw nie stymulowanej (bazowej) proliferacji i adhezji komórek schwannomy i nie są zrozumiałe. Tutaj, badaliśmy insulinopodobny czynnik wzrostu-1 białka wiążącego (IGFBP-1), który jest uwalniany z nowotworów centralnego układu nerwowego oraz silnie ekspresjonowany w schwannomie na poziomie mRNA. IGFBP-1 działa poprzez β1-integryny i fokal przyczepności kinazy (FAK), które są silnie nadekspresowane i aktywowane w schwannomie. Za pomocą krótkich serpentyn RNA knockout (shRNA), małych inhibitorów i IGFBP-1 peptydów, możemy wykazać, że komórki schwannomy, w przeciwieństwie do komórek Schwanna, wydzielają IGFBP-1, który aktywuje Src/FAK scieżkę sygnałową poprzez integryny β1, wzmacniając proliferację i adhezję komórek schwannomy. Wykazujemy, że FAK jest obecny w jądrze komórkowym a Src pobudza produkcję IGFBP-1. Ponadto w komórkach schwannomy zaobserwowaliśmy obniżoną ekspresję supresora nowotworowego PTEN (tumour-suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog),co prowadzi do wzmożonej aktywności antyapoptotycznej kinazy AKT. Dlatego uważamy, że ścieżka sygnałowa prowadząca poprzez IGFBP-1/integrin β1/Src/FAK odgrywa kluczową rolę w rozwoju nowotworów spowodowanych mutacjami merliny, i dlatego terapeutyki celowane w ten szlak sygnałowy mogą okazać się znakomitą metodą leczenia nowotworów z niedoborem merlin.

Abstract
Loss of the tumor suppressor merlin causes development of the tumors of the nervous system, such as schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas occurring spontaneously or as part of a hereditary disease Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2). Current therapies, (radio) surgery, are not always effective. Therefore, there is a need for drug treatments for these tumors. Schwannomas are the most frequent of merlin-deficient tumors and are hallmark for NF2. Using our in vitro human schwannoma model, we demonstrated that merlin-deficiency leads to increased proliferation, cell-matrix adhesion, and survival. Increased proliferation due to strong activation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) is caused by overexpression/activation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β) and ErbB2/3 which we successfully blocked with AZD6244, sorafenib, or lapatinib. Schwannoma basal proliferation is, however, only partly dependent on PDGFR-β and is completely independent of ErbB2/3. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying pathological cell-matrix adhesion and survival of schwannoma cells are still not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate that insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) is strongly overexpressed and activated in human primary schwannoma cells. IGF-I and -II are overexpressed and released from schwannoma cells. We show that ERK1/2 is relevant for IGF-I-mediated increase in proliferation and cell-matrix adhesion, c-Jun N-terminal kinases for increased proliferation and AKT for survival. We demonstrate new mechanisms involved in increased basal proliferation, cell-matrix adhesion, and survival of schwannoma cells. We identified therapeutic targets IGF-IR and downstream PI3K for treatment of schwannoma and other merlin-deficient tumors and show usefulness of small molecule inhibitors in our model. PI3K is relevant for both IGF-IR and previously described PDGFR-β signaling in schwannoma.

Abstrakt
Utrata Merlin supresorowych nowotworu powoduje rozwój nowotworów systemu nerwowego, takich jak schwannoma, oponiaki i wyściółczaki, występujących spontanicznie, lub jako częściowo choroba dziedziczna Nerwiakowłókniakowatość Typ 2 (NF2). Bieżące terapie, (radio) chirurgia, nie zawsze są skuteczne. Dlatego też istnieje zapotrzebowanie na leki do leczenia tych nowotworów. Schwannomy są najczęstszymi z niedoborem Merlin nowotworami, oraz są cechą charakterystyczną dla NF2. Używając naszego in vitro ludzkiego modelu schwannomy, wykazaliśmy, że niedobór merlin prowadzi do zwiększonej proliferacji, adhezji komórek i przeżycia. Zwiększona proliferacja z powodu silnej aktywacji kinazy regulowanej zewnątrzkomórkowo (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)) jest spowodowana przez aktywację/silną expresję receptoru płytkowego czynnika wzrostu-β (PDGFR-β) i ErbB2, które my z powodzeniem zablokowaliśmy używając AZD6244, sorafenib, lub lapatynib. Nie stymulowana proliferacja nerwiaka, jednak tylko w części zależy od PDGFR-β i jest całkowicie niezależna od ErbB2/3. Co więcej, mechanizmy związane z patologiczną adhezją i przeżyciem komórek nerwiaka nadal nie są w pełni zrozumiałe. Tutaj wykazujemy, że receptor-I insulinopodobnego czynnika wzrostu (IGF-IR) ulega silnej nadekspresji i jest aktywowany w ludzkich pierwotnych komórkach nerwiaka osłonkowego. IGF-I i -II ulegają silnej nadekspresji i są wydzielane z komórek nerwiaka osłonkowego. Wykazujemy, że ERK1/2 ma znaczenie dla wzrostu IGF-I w proliferacji i przyczepności komórek macierzy, c-Jun N-terminal kinaz dla zwiększenia proliferacji i AKT w celu przeżycia. Demonstrujemy nowe mechanizmy zaangażowane w poprawę podstawy proliferacji, przyczepności komórkowej macierzy i przeżycia komórek nerwiaka osłonkowego. Zidentyfikowaliśmy cele terapeutyczne IGF-IR i downstream PI3K do leczenia nerwiaka osłonkowego i innych nowotworów z niedoborem Merlin i przydatność małych cząsteczek inhibitorów w naszym modelu. PI3K jest istotny zarówno dla IGF-IR i wcześniej opisanej PDGFR-β sygnalizacji w nerwiaku osłonkowym.

Maria Folkesson worked for four years with us as a classic piano teacher.

She is extremely gifted and was appreciated by all her pupils.

We wish her the best of luck for the future

 - and recommend her to any future employer.

Ellen Sonnenstein


As you all already know, our pianist Maria Folkesson is a real pearl.

Without her, the project would not been possible.

With patience and enthusiasm she has practiced with all of us and adjusted to the students in all situations. She has recorded songs we have been singing, listened to tapes of old recordings and made her own arrangements. 

Thank you, Maria!

To whom it may concern

During the last two years before Maria Folkesson's departure for the United States of America she served as my piano teacher, but we also developed a friendship.

The sessions when we played the piano together were a very important element of my life during these years, when I had a busy life taking care of kids and working as a doctor at the general hospital in Uppsala. 

Maria has a genuine interest in music in general and piano in particular, but she also has the ability to pass this interest on the others since she is a great source of inspiration.

Maria is an excellent pedagogue and is keen on that every tone is performed with precision. Having Maria as my piano teacher made me learn more about piano and music then I had ever dreamt of.

In addition to her skills as a piano teacher, Maria is also a person filled with "emotional intelligence".

This explains why she easily gets contact with other people and why she is so loved by people around her.

Maria's qualities in combination with her will to work hard makes her perfect for almost any job and excellent for jobs dealing with music and/or piano.
