Effects of IFITM1 knockdown in colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT: Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) is one of the three members of the interferon-induced transmembrane family and has recently been identified as a new molecular marker in human colorectal cancer. However, its functional roles in colorectal cancer are still elusive. In this study, we investigate the gene expression profiling of HT-29 cells with IFITM1 knockdown. We revealed that several invasive- and carcinogenesis-related genes were differentially expressed. We transfected siRNAs targeting firefly luciferase and human IFITM1 mRNAs into HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. At 72 h post-transfection, total RNA was harvested for microarray hybridization. A siLuc-transfected sample was used as the baseline control.

Project description:Interferon-induced transmembrane protein (IFITM1) plays a dual role in restriction of RNA viruses and in metastatic cancer cell growth. The signal transduction events that are orchestrated by IFITM1 are not well defined. We set out to identify IFITM1 interacting proteins to begin to define its mechanism of action. Affinity purification of SBP-tagged IFITM1, coupled to SWATH-mass spectrometry, identified significantly higher confidence interacting proteins from IFN- treated cells, relative to non-treated cells. This promoted an examination of the protein synthetic machinery in order to determine whether IFITM1 can impact on ribosomal proteome from IFN- treated cells. Isogenic ifitm1 null and ifitm1-ifitm3 null-SiHa cell panels were generated using CRISPR gRNAs to define signaling events that are linked to IFN--dependent protein synthesis. Ultracentrifugation sedimentation of cell lysates from interferon gamma treated wt and ifitm1-ifitm3 null-SiHa cells was carried out to isolate ribosomal constituents. Although SWATH-mass spectrometry of the 40S, 60S, and 80S fractions demonstrated changes in selected protein content, a significant reduction in A254 (RNA) in the 80S ribosomal fractions suggested a relatively select defect in 80S ribosomal biogenesis in ifitm1-ifitm3 null cells. The localization of IFITM1 to ribosomal protein components prompted an analysis of IFN--dependent protein synthesis using pulse SILAC. STAT1 and B2M were two dominant proteins whose synthesis increased equivalently in wt or ifitm1-ifitm3 null cells. However, MHC class I molecules and ISG15 were the most highly suppressed IFN--responsive proteins in the ifitm1-ifitm3 double null cells and this was confirmed using ifitm1 single null cells. Transient depletion of IFITM1 using targeted siRNA also depleted MHC class I molecules as well as IFITM3, STAT1, B2M, and ISG15. These data have implications for the function of IFITM1 in mediating IFN--stimulated protein synthesis and associated antigen presentation during either oncogenic or anti-viral signalling.
