RNAseq of the two isogenic variants of the CAL27 head-and-neck cancer cell line with wild-type or mutated CYP1B1 genotype

ABSTRACT: In order to understand the role of CYP1B1 and of its common polymorphism V432L, we characterized head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell lines that do not express this cytochrome, and we generated isogenic derivatives of these lines expressing similar levels of the two variant forms of CYP1B1. Our study reveals that the variant (L432) CYP1B1 form is a strong enhancer of cell proliferation, both in vitro and in vivo, and of migration and invasion capacity in vitro. It is also associated to resistance to DNA-damaging agents in vitro and in vivo. Transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq as well as protein blots showed that the cells expressing the variant CYP1B1 genotype presented an accentuated epithelial character as compared to those expressing the wild-type form, in agreement with in silico data extracted from cell line collections. The variant CYP1B1 cell cultures are enriched in ALDH-positive cells as compared to wild-type CYP1B1 cell cultures, which could be related the phenotypic differences detected. Finally, in order to identify associations between germline CYP1B1 polymorphism and patients’ survival), a clinical study was done, including in advanced HNSCC patients treated with chemotherapy and cetuximab. This prospective study revealed that the variant CYP1B1 genotype was associated with poor prognosis and was confirmed in a retrospective validation study.
