HnRNP A1-mediated translational regulation of the G quadruplex-containing RON receptor tyrosine kinase mRNA linked to tumor progression.

ABSTRACT: The expression and role of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) controlling mRNA translation during tumor progression remains largely uncharacterized. Analysis by immunohistochemistry of the expression of hnRNP A1, hnRNPH, RBM9/FOX2, SRSF1/ASF/SF2, SRSF2/SC35, SRSF3/SRp20, SRSF7/9G8 in breast tumors shows that the expression of hnRNP A1, but not the other tested RBPs, is associated with metastatic relapse. Strikingly, hnRNP A1, a nuclear splicing regulator, is also present in the cytoplasm of tumor cells of a subset of patients displaying exceedingly worse prognosis. Expression of a cytoplasmic mutant of hnRNP A1 leads to increased translation of the mRNA encoding the tyrosine kinase receptor RON/MTS1R, known for its function in tumor dissemination, and increases cell migration in vitro. hnRNP A1 directly binds to the 5' untranslated region of the RON mRNA and activates its translation through G-quadruplex RNA secondary structures. The correlation between hnRNP A1 and RON tumoral expression suggests that these findings hold clinical relevance.

Project description:During the latent phase, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) maintains itself inside the host by escaping the host immune surveillance mechanism through restricted protein expression. Latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA), the most abundantly expressed protein, is essential for viral persistence, as it plays important roles in latent viral DNA replication and efficient segregation of the viral genome to the daughter cells following cell division. KSHV evades immune detection by maintaining the levels of LANA protein below a threshold required for detection by the host immune system but sufficient to maintain the viral genome. LANA achieves this by controlling its expression through regulation of its promoters and by inhibiting its presentation through interaction with the proteins of class I and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) pathways. In this study, we identified a mechanism of LANA expression and restricted immune recognition through formation of G-quadruplexes in LANA mRNA. We show that the formation of these stable structures in LANA mRNA inhibits its translation to control antigen presentation, which was supported by treatment of cells with TMPyP4, a G-quadruplex-stabilizing ligand. We identified heterogenous ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) as a G-quadruplex-unwinding helicase, which unfolds these stable secondary structures to regulate LANA translation.IMPORTANCE LANA, the most abundantly expressed protein during latency, is a multifunctional protein which is absolutely required for the persistence of KSHV in the host cell. Even though the functions of LANA in aiding pathogenesis of the virus have been extensively studied, the mechanism of how LANA escapes host's immune surveillance is not fully understood. This study sheds light on the autoregulatory role of LANA to modulate its expression and immune evasion through formation of G-quadruplexes in its mRNA. We used G-quadruplex-stabilizing ligand to define the inhibition in LANA expression and presentation on the cell surface through MHC class I. We defined the autoregulatory role of LANA and identified a cellular RNA helicase, hnRNP A1, regulating the translation of LANA mRNA. This interaction of hnRNP A1 with LANA mRNA could be exploited for controlling KSHV latency.
