Loss of p53-inducible long non-coding RNA LINC01021 increases chemosensitivity.

ABSTRACT: We have previously identified the long non-coding RNA LINC01021 as a direct p53 target (Hünten et al. Mol Cell Proteomics. 2015; 14:2609-2629). Here, we show that LINC01021 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines upon various p53-activating treatments. The LINC01021 promoter and the p53 binding site lie within a MER61C LTR, which originated from insertion of endogenous retrovirus 1 (ERV1) sequences. Deletion of this MER61C element by a CRISPR/Cas9 approach, as well as siRNA-mediated knockdown of LINC01021 RNA significantly enhanced the sensitivity of the CRC cell line HCT116 towards the chemotherapeutic drugs doxorubicin and 5-FU, suggesting that LINC01021 is an integral part of the p53-mediated response to DNA damage. Inactivation of LINC01021 and also its ectopic expression did not affect p53 protein expression and transcriptional activity, implying that LINC01021 does not feedback to p53. Furthermore, in CRC patient samples LINC01021 expression positively correlated with a wild-type p53-associated gene expression signature. LINC01021 expression was increased in primary colorectal tumors and displayed a bimodal distribution that was particularly pronounced in the mesenchymal CMS4 consensus molecular subtype of CRCs. CMS4 tumors with low LINC01021 expression were associated with poor patient survival. Our results suggest that the genomic redistribution of ERV1-derived p53 response elements and generation of novel p53-inducible lncRNA-encoding genes was selected for during primate evolution as integral part of the cellular response to various forms of genotoxic stress.

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is an embryonal tumor with various clinical presentations and behaviors. Several genomic alterations has been well-studied in NB, among which genomic amplification of MYCN oncogene, is a strong prognostic biomarker with worsens outcome. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), constitute major proportion of the cellular transcripts with no coding capacity. One of their function is to guide transcription factors to the target genes and facilitate gene expression. However, relative contribution of lncRNA and MYCN to the advanced NB has remained unclear. Herein, by applying a network-based integrative analysis on MYCN amplified and MYCN nonamplified lncRNA expression profile from both RNA-seq and microarray platform, we identified lncRNA, SNHG1 to be differentially expressed and strongly correlated with MYCN in MYCN-amplified NB. The expression of SNHG1 was validated by RT-qPCR in NB cell lines. Survival analysis revealed that higher expression of SNHG1 significantly associates with poor patient survival. Moreover, knockdown of MYCN in MYCN-amplified NB cell lines inhibited SNHG1 expression. Furthermore, to unravel the role of SNHG1 in NB, we extracted SNHG1-interacting proteins by RNA-protein pull down assay coupled with doi:10.6342/NTU201701980 ! ! VI liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). We identified 27 SNHG1-interacting proteins in common from three NB cell lines. However, only three SNHG1-interacting proteins, MATR3, YBX1 and HHRNPL have binding site detected by DeepBind motif analysis. Western blot confirms interaction of MATR3 with SNHG1. Additionally, we further validated the direct interaction between MATR3 and SNHG1 by RNA-immunoprecipation (IP). MATR3 is known to be involved in RNA transport and stabilization. Therefore, we proposed that MATR3 after interacting with SNHG1 might help in SNHG1 transcription and stabilization. In conclusion, our study unveils that SNHG1 could be a prognostic marker for high-risk NB and possibly stabilized by MATR3. Our results might provide future directions for the development of therapeutic strategies against high-risk NB.
