Introduction

Our lab focuses on a fundamental, yet largely unanswered question: How is the normal organisation of tissue disrupted to allow cells to form disarrayed tumours? Cells of many tissues are polarised. That is that cells collectively form configurations tailored to the needs of a tissue. During tumourigenesis this exquisite organisation is lost. Despite the loss of tissue polarity being an obligate event in cancer progression, we know little about this basic process.

We use mini ‘avatars’ of tumours ex vivo to understand how cells collectively organise. Our efforts are focused on colorectal and prostate cancers. We take two approaches to unravel the complexity of this process: 

1) building new tools to analyse tumour avatars ex vivo, and 
2) identifying the signalling processes that drive collective tumour invasion and metastasis. We collaborate extensively for a multi-disciplinary approach to understand tumour metastasis (Sansom, Blyth, Leung, Miller Labs @ CRUK Scotland Institute).

To develop better tools to understand how tumour cells loose polarity, we have developed cutting-edge, high-content microscopy and computational image analysis of tumour spheroids and organoids, live-imaging how normal cells become tumours. Molecularly, we focus on two pathways: phosphoinositide signalling (including the kinases and phosphatases that produce them, and master regulators of their function: the ARF GTPases), and the role of the metastasis-promoting sialomucin, Podocalyxin. We are particularly interested in how these participate in metastasis.

Our ultimate aim is to investigate such changes in cell polarity as potential future biomarkers of cancer in patients, and possible targets for future therapeutic interventions.

Research Highlights

  • Loss of PTEN in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancers unleashes a pro-invasive module, consisting of an ARF GTPase module that governs endocytic recycling of pro-invasive integrins (EMBO J, 2023)
  • The modality through which prostate tumours metastasise is regulated by surface levels of the adhesion protein N-cadherin, controlled by the ARF3 GTPase (JCB, 2023)
  • The sialomucin Podocalyxin drives metastasis by acting as a decoy receptor to remove the function of otherwise invasion-inhibiting proteins (Science Advances 2023)
  • Development of a machine-learning and live-imaging based methodology for detecting heterogeneity in 3D culture (Nat Comms, 2022)
  • An ARF GTPase pathway amplified in cancer patients controls key lipid (phosphatidylinositol-phosphate) signalling to drive metastasis (Nat Comms, 2021)
  • Identification of the key lipid (phosphatidylinositol-phosphate) metabolic pathways that control the formation of an apical surface. This defined that PI(3,4)P2 is a determinant of apical identity (Nat Comms, 2018)
