Super-Enhancer-Associated LncRNA UCA1 Interacts Directly with AMOT to Activate YAP Target Genes in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of tumorigenesis, and yet their mechanistic roles remain challenging to characterize. Here, we integrate functional proteomics with lncRNA-interactome profiling to characterize Urothelial Cancer Associated 1 (UCA1), a candidate driver of ovarian cancer development. Reverse phase protein array (RPPA) analysis indicates that UCA1 activates transcription coactivator YAP and its target genes. In vivo RNA antisense purification (iRAP) of UCA1 interacting proteins identified angiomotin (AMOT), a known YAP regulator, as a direct binding partner. Loss-of-function experiments show that AMOT mediates YAP activation by UCA1, as UCA1 enhances the AMOT-YAP interaction to promote YAP dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Together, we characterize UCA1 as a lncRNA regulator of Hippo-YAP signaling and highlight the UCA1-AMOT-YAP signaling axis in ovarian cancer development.

Project description:Simple Summary Based on the latest research, cancer cells prefer glutamine to glucose. Therefore, it is more worthwhile to explore the regulatory mechanism of glutamine metabolism in cancer cells. Super enhancers are critical for the gene transcriptional programs responsible for cell fate by interacting with various transcription factors. The transcription factor HSF1 exerts a multifaced role in tumorigenesis. However, the relevance of HSF1 to super enhancers in tumors remains obscure. Therefore, this study focused on the mechanism underlying super-enhancer activation and its relationship to HSF1 in CRC. Here, we performed a super-enhancer landscape in CRC and we screened out an HSF1-mediated super enhancer, lncRNA-LINC00857, by lncRNA microarray. We discovered that HSF1 could stimulate acetyltransferase P300-mediated super-enhancer activity to facilitate LINC00857 expression, contributing to SLC1A5/ASCT2-mediated glutamine transport. In addition, we validated that targeting the HSF1/LINC00857/ANXA11 axis may provide a valuable therapeutic strategy against CRC. Abstract Super enhancers are critical for the gene transcription responsible for cell fate by interacting with transcription factors. However, the relevance of HSF1 to super enhancers in tumors remains obscure. We profiled H3K27ac enrichment by chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing. HSF1-mediated lncRNAs were identified by lncRNA microarray. The characteristics of LINC00857 were explored by in vitro and in vivo assays. The mechanism was studied via chromatin immunoprecipitation, RNA immunoprecipitation, and HSF1/ANXA11 knockout mice. We found that super enhancers occupied multiple gene loci in colorectal cancer. We screened out an HSF1-mediated super enhancer, lncRNA-LINC00857, which exerts its characteristics in promoting cell growth via regulating glutamine metabolism. Notably, HSF1 could stimulate the super-enhancer activity of LINC00857 by the enrichment of acetyltransferase P300 to its gene loci, contributing to LINC00857 transcription. In turn, nuclear LINC00857 cooperated with HSF1 to promote ANXA11 transcription, which modulated SLC1A5/ASCT2 protein expression by binding competitively to miR-122-5p. The knockout of ANXA11 attenuated colorectal cancer formation in vivo. Collectively, we shed light on a closely cooperative machinery between HSF1 and super enhancers. HSF1 could stimulate acetyltransferase P300-mediated super-enhancer activity to facilitate LINC00857 expression, contributing to SLC1A5-mediated glutamine transport. Targeting the HSF1/LINC00857/ANXA11 axis may provide a valuable therapeutic strategy against colorectal cancer.
