Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 represses tumor suppressor miRNAs that down-regulate CYCLIN D1 and c-MYC expression in aggressive B-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Protein arginine methyltransferase-5 (PRMT5) is overexpressed in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, including mantle cell lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and supports constitutive expression of CYCLIN D1 and c-MYC. Here, we combined ChIP analysis with next-generation sequencing to identify microRNA (miRNA) genes that are targeted by PRMT5 in aggressive lymphoma cell lines. We identified enrichment of histone 3 dimethylation at Arg-8 (H3(Me2)R8) in the promoter regions of miR33b, miR96, and miR503. PRMT5 knockdown de-repressed transcription of all three miRNAs, accompanied by loss of recruitment of epigenetic repressor complexes containing PRMT5 and either histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) or HDAC3, enhanced binding of co-activator complexes containing p300 or CREB-binding protein (CBP), and increased acetylation of specific histones, including H2BK12, H3K9, H3K14, and H4K8 at the miRNA promoters. Re-expression of individual miRNAs in B-cell lymphoma cells down-regulated expression of PRMT5, CYCLIN D1, and c-MYC, which are all predicted targets of these miRNAs, and reduced lymphoma cell survival. Luciferase reporter assays with WT and mutant 3'UTRs of CYCLIN D1 and c-MYC mRNAs revealed that binding sites for miR33b, miR96, and miR503 are critical for translational regulation of the transcripts of these two genes. Our findings link altered PRMT5 expression to transcriptional silencing of tumor-suppressing miRNAs in lymphoma cells and reinforce PRMT5's relevance for promoting lymphoma cell growth and survival.

Project description:BackgroundAs a regulator essential for many cell cycle-related proteins, the robust expression of Cell cycle-Related and Expression-elevated Protein in Tumor (CREPT) implicates a poor diagnosis of endoderm and mesoderm-derived tumors. Whether CREPT plays the same role in the tumorigenesis derived from ectodermal tissues remains elusive.MethodsTo explore the role of CREPT in ectoderm-derived tumors, cells from 7oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) lines and 84clinical OSCC samples were exploited in this study. Quantitative PCR, Western blot assay and immunohistochemistry were applied in the evaluation of CREPT, cyclin D1 and c-Myc expression. Knocking-down of CREPT was performed by lentivirus delivering specific shRNA of CREPT. The effects of CREPT on OSCC were examined by cell proliferation, colony formation, apoptosis, cell migration and xenograft implantation experiments.ResultsCompared with human normal oral keratinocytes, OSCC cell lines showed a significantly elevated expression of CREPT in both mRNA and protein levels. Consistently, samples from OSCC patients also exhibited a noticeably stronger CREPT expression than the noncancerous samples. In contrast, knocking down of CREPT in OSCC cell lines significantly reduced proliferation, colony formation and migration as well as the expression of cyclin D1 and c-Myc, but promoted apoptosis. Statistical analysis also suggested that CREPT expression was significantly correlated with the T and N classification of OSCC. Furthermore, CAL27 mouse xenograft model confirmed that down-regulation of CREPT prohibited cyclin D1 and c-Myc expression, through which decreased the in vivo tumor growth, but increased the survival ratio of hosts.ConclusionIn OSCC cell lines, up-regulated CREPT expression enhanced cell proliferation, migration and cell cycle as well as promoted cyclin D1 and c-Myc expression as it did in endoderm and mesoderm-origin tumors. Our study strongly suggests that CREPT could be used as a marker for the OSCC prognosis and might work as a potential target in future OSCC therapy.
