First, we attempt to validate the phosphorylation status of HMGA1 induced by MCM2 in lung cancer cells. Since the phospho-specific antibody for HMGA1are not available in market so far, we could not detect the phosphorylation of HMGA1 by western blot.

Both the MCM2-overexpressed A549 cells and MCM2-silenced H1299 cells showed the differential phosphorylation level of the phosphosites of Ser99 on HMGA1, indicating the important link between MCM2 and HMGA1 phosphorylation.

Phosphorylation of HMGA1 and its relevance to MCM2 needs substantial evidences and should be investigated in detail.

Second, it is still unclear that which specific pathway is induced by MCM2 to affect the biological processes such as cell proliferation, cell migration and cell cycle in human lung cancer cells. Future studies are needed to elucidate the molecular pathway regulating these biological processes in order to clarify the role of MCM2 in lung cancer cells.

Third, the western blot analysis showed that p53 is correlated with MCM2 but we did not know how exactly the p53 regulates MCM2. More experimental validations are needed to prove the relationship between p53 and MCM2 at transcriptional level.

Figure 1. Schematic illustration of the experimental design of this study. For

MCM2 overexpression in A549 cells, the cells were transfected with 1 ug of MCM2-overexprssing plasmid and harvested after 24 hours. For silencing MCM2 in H1299 cells, the cells were transfected with siRNA at final concentration of 10 nmol and harvested after 48 hours. The extracted protein was subjected to the phosphoproteomics workflow and nanoLC−MS/MS analysis. The differential regulation of phosphorylated proteins in these two phosphoproteomes was compared and the results were validated.

42

Figure 2. Schematic workflow of phosphoproteomics. Protein was extracted from

cell lysates. The protein was then subjected to reduction, alkylation and protein digestion for overnight. The digested peptides from the control and treatment samples were subjected to dimethy labelling, CH2O (light) for control samples and 13CD2O (heavy) for treated samples. The light-labeled and heavy-labeled samples were mixed and proceed to HAMMOC-TiO2 phosphopeptide enrichment and finally nanoLC−MS/MS.

Figure 3. Endogenous expression of MCM2 in lung cancer cells. Protein samples (30

ug) were electrophoresed on a 10% SDS polyacrylamide gel. The membrane was incubated with the following primary antibody diluted in blocking buffer at 4°C overnight: rabbit anti-MCM2 (1:1000), mouse anti-P53 (1:1000) and mouse anti-Actin (1:5000) followed by incubation with appropriate horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibody (1:100000) for 2 hours at room temperature. Signal was developed with Clarity Western ECL Substrate Kit. The result showed that H1299 (p53 null) show higher endogenous expression of MCM2 compared to A549 (p53 wild-type).

After 24 hours of post-transfection, 500 cells were seeded onto the 6-well plates and incubated for 8 days. The number of colonies in MCM2-overexpressing and control cells was counted manually. MCM2 overexpressed A549 cells exhibited a significant increase in cell proliferation (increased 65.0% and 38.2% of cell viability at 24 and 48 hours) and higher number of colonies formed as compared to control vector.

were transfected with 1 ug pcDNA3.1(+)/MCM2 or control vector. Cells were harvested at 12, 24 and 48 hours and the protein levels were analyzed by Western blotting.

Overexpression level of MCM2 was highest at 24 hours post-transfection. (B) and (C) H1299 cells were treated with three siMCM2 (si-1,si-2 and si-3) or control siRNA at final concentration of 10nM. Cells were harvested at 24 and 48 hours and the protein levels were analyzed by Western blotting. Two siRNAs for MCM2 (si-1 and si-2) showed high knockdown efficiency at 48 hours.

Figure 12. List of GO-term of regulated phosphoproteins in phosphoproteome of

silencing MCM2 in H1299 cells. The Functional Annotation Tool on DAVID v6.7 was

used to facilitate the annotation of up- (>1.5 fold) and down-regulated (>1.5 fold) phosphoproteins. MCM2-silenced proteins were mainly involved in macromolecular complex subunit organization, RNA processing, microtubule-based movement, DNA replication and cell cycle.

Figure 14. Overexpression of MCM2 in A549 increased cell migration. (A) The

ability of cell migration was examined by transwell migration assay. 3x104 cells were seeded onto the upper chamber of a transwell and incubated for 6 hrs. (B) The number of migrated cells in MCM2-overexpressing and control cells. MCM2 overexpressed cells show significant increase in migrated cells. (*, P<0.05)

Figure 15. Silencing MCM2 in H1299 cells decreased cell migration. (A) The ability

of cell migration was examined by transwell migration assay. 3x104 cells were seeded onto the upper chamber of a transwell and incubated for 6 hrs. (B) The number of migrated cells in MCM2-silenced and control cells. MCM2-silenced cells show significant decrease in migrated cells. (*, P<0.05)

Figure 16. Silencing MCM2 in H1299 cells induced cell cycle arrest. Cells were

stained with 5 μg/ml propidium iodide for 15 minutes in the dark. The DNA content of the cells was analyzed using a FACSCanto instrument. At least 10,000 cells were collected for each measurement in a triplicate experiment. The percentage of cells in different phases of the cell cycle was analyzed using ModFit LT. MCM2 knockdown with 10nM siRNA (si-2 and si-3) resulted in a increase in G1 phase (54.46% and 55.32%) and a decrease in S phase (38.13% and 36.55%) at 48 hours siRNA post-transfection. The accumulation of cells in G2/M phase was also observed in MCM2-silenced cells (5.41% and 6.9%) as compared to control cells (3.13%). (*, P<0.05;**,

Figure 18. Phosphorylation of HMGA1 at S99 is essential for viability. (A) The

amino acid sequences showing the position to be mutated by substitution. The Serine residues at position of 99 within HMGA1 protein were substituted with non-phosphorylatable alanine (Ala) and phosphomimetic glutamic acid (Glu) by site‐directed mutagenesis. (B) The overexpression level of HMGA1 mutants was assessed by measuring the total HMGA1 protein. Western blot analysis showed the HMGA1 wild type and HMGA1 mutants (S99E and S99A) have similar total HMGA1 protein level, indicating that their overexpression efficiency are of the same magnitude.

(C) A549 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1(+) without insert, HMGA1 wild-type or

HMGA1 mutants (S99E and S99A). At 24 hours of post-transfection, 5000 cells were seeded

onto the 96-well plate and incubated for 24 or 48 hrs.

Table 2. Number of phosphopeptides, phosphosites and phosphoproteins

Spectra were analyzed using MaxQuant version 1.5.0.30 and searched against SwissProt Database (version 2014-09). In MCM2 overexpressing A549 cells, a total 1409 unique phosphopeptides on 593 phosphoproteins were identified. In MCM2 silencing H1299 cells, a total 1347 unique phosphopeptides on 592 phosphoproteins were identified.
