15-LOX-1 transcription suppression through the NuRD complex in colon cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: 15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) is transcriptionally silenced in cancer cells, and its transcription reactivation (for example, through histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs)) restores apoptosis to cancer cells. However, the exact mechanism underlying 15-LOX-1 transcription reactivation in cancer cells is still undefined. Therefore, we evaluated the critical mechanisms required for 15-LOX-1 transcription reactivation in colon cancer cells. Specific HDAC1 and HDAC2 inhibition activated 15-LOX-1 transcription. 15-LOX-1 transcription was repressed through transcription repressor complex recruitment in the region of -120 to -391 of the 15-LOX-1 promoter. The nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) repression complex was recruited to this region. Depsipeptide significantly reduced the recruitment of NuRD key components (for example, metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) and HDAC1) to the 15-LOX-1 promoter before 15-LOX-1 transcriptional activation. Knock down of NuRD key components (for example, MTA1 and HDAC1) by small interfering RNA (siRNA) activated 15-LOX-1 transcription, as measured by luciferase reporter assays in stably transfected SW480 cells with the 15-LOX-1 promoter construct of the -391, but not the -120 region. Relative to expression in normal tissue, MTA1 expression in colorectal cancer mucosa from colorectal cancer patients was negatively related to 15-LOX-1 expression. Thus, our results show that NuRD contributes to 15-LOX-1 transcription suppression in colon cancer cells and that HDACIs can inhibit NuRD recruitment to a promoter to activate gene transcription, as in the case of 15-LOX-1.

Project description:Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an aggressive primary intestinal malignancy with the third-highest incidence and second-highest mortality among all cancer types worldwide. Transcription factors (TFs) regulate cell development and differentiation owing to their ability to recognize specific DNA sequences upstream of genes. Numerous studies have demonstrated a strong correlation between TFs, the etiology of tumors, and therapeutic approaches. Here, we aimed to explore prognosis-related TFs and comprehend their carcinogenic mechanisms, thereby offering novel insights into the diagnosis and management of CRC. Materials and methods: Differentially expressed TFs between CRC and normal tissues were identified leveraging The Cancer Genome Atlas database, Weighted correlation network analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed to identify prognosis-related TFs. The cellular functions of hub TF zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) were determined using by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine and cell invasion assays in CRC cells. RNA-sequencing, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment, and gene set enrichment analyses were used to identify the cellular processes in which ZEB1 participates. Immunoaffinity purification, silver staining mass spectrometry, and a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay were conducted to search for proteins that might interact with ZEB1 and the target genes they jointly regulate. Results: Thirteen central TFs related to prognosis were identified through bioinformatics analysis techniques. Among these TFs, ZEB1 emerged as the TF most closely associated with CRC, as determined through a combination of regulatory network diagrams, survival curves, and phenotype analyses. ZEB1 promotes CRC cell growth by recruiting the NuRD(MTA1) complex, and the ZEB1/NuRD(MTA1) complex transcriptionally represses glycolysis-associated tumor suppressor genes. Conclusion: Our study not only identified a hub biomarker related to CRC prognosis but also revealed the specific molecular mechanisms through which ZEB1 affects cancer progression. These insights provide crucial evidence for the diagnosis of CRC and potential treatment opportunities.
