Jak3, STAT3, and STAT5 inhibit expression of miR-22, a novel tumor suppressor microRNA, in cutaneous T-Cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant activation of Janus kinase-3 (Jak3) and its key down-stream effectors, Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-3 (STAT3) and STAT5, is a key feature of malignant transformation in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). However, it remains only partially understood how Jak3/STAT activation promotes lymphomagenesis. Recently, non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this malignancy. Here, we show that (i) malignant T cells display a decreased expression of a tumor suppressor miRNA, miR-22, when compared to non-malignant T cells, (ii) STAT5 binds the promoter of the miR-22 host gene, and (iii) inhibition of Jak3, STAT3, and STAT5 triggers increased expression of pri-miR-22 and miR-22. Curcumin, a nutrient with anti-Jak3 activity and histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) also trigger increased expression of pri-miR-22 and miR-22. Transfection of malignant T cells with recombinant miR-22 inhibits the expression of validated miR-22 targets including NCoA1, a transcriptional co-activator in others cancers, as well as HDAC6, MAX, MYCBP, PTEN, and CDK2, which have all been implicated in CTCL pathogenesis. In conclusion, we provide the first evidence that de-regulated Jak3/STAT3/STAT5 signalling in CTCL cells represses the expression of the gene encoding miR-22, a novel tumor suppressor miRNA.

Project description:Increasing evidences support a potential role for the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-3 (STAT3) as a tumor driver in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). However, the mechanisms leading to STAT3 pathway activation in CTCL and how STAT3 activation contributes to lymphomagenesis remains primarily not enough explored. Recently, we found that miR-124, a known STAT3 regulator in cancer, is robustly silenced in Mycosis Fungoides (MF) tumor-stage and CTCL cell lines and we have herein studied whether deregulation of miR-124 contributes to activate STAT3 pathway in CTCL. Material and Methods: DNA methylation status of miR-124 and its expression levels in response to the DNA-demethylating agent azacitidine were evaluated in CTCL cell lines by pyrosequencing analysis. CTCL cell lines were transient transfected with a lentiviral vector encoding miR-124 and transfected cells were analyzed for phosphorylated STAT3 (P-STAT3) levels. The impact on STAT3 signaling was evaluated using expression microarray on CTCL cell lines in both conditions, miR-124 absent (malignant condition) versus miR-124 expressed (lentiviral transduction). Results: A significant promoter methylation and silencing of miR-124 in MF tumor samples and CTCL cell lines was detected. DNA methylation levels of miR-124 in CTCL cell lines were restored (and subsequently miR-124 were overexpressed) after DNA demethylation. Ectopic lentiviral expression of miR-124 downregulated STAT3 in the different CTCL cell lines. Genes differentially expressed regarding miR-124 regulation in CTCL cell lines indicated impact on known cell survival and function pathways and, particularly, intervention on miR-124 expression modulated different STAT3 pathway components. Conclusions: Our study deciphers a novel epigenetic mechanisms regulating STAT3 pathway in CTCL. This might contribute to a better understanding the molecular basis in CTCL development. Deregulation of STAT3 seems to have a major impact on cell survival in CTCL cell lines indicating the potential interest of targeting STAT3 with specific therapies.
