Integrin αvβ3 Engagement Regulates Glucose Metabolism and Migration through Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) and Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in Glioblastoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic reprogramming promotes glioblastoma cell migration and invasion. Integrin αvβ3 is one of the major integrin family members in glioblastoma multiforme cell surface mediating interactions with extracellular matrix proteins that are important for glioblastoma progression. The role of αvβ3 integrin in regulating metabolic reprogramming and its mechanism of action have not been determined in glioblastoma cells. Integrin αvβ3 engagement with osteopontin promotes glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis, while inhibiting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Blocking or downregulation of integrin αvβ3 inhibits glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis and promotes mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in decreased migration and growth in glioblastoma cells. Pharmacological inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) or downregulation of protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) blocks metabolic shift toward glycolysis and inhibits glioblastoma cell migration and invasion. These results support that integrin αvβ3 and osteopontin engagement plays an important role in promoting the metabolic shift toward glycolysis and inhibiting mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation in glioblastoma cells. The metabolic shift in cell energy metabolism is coupled to changes in migration, invasion, and growth, which are mediated by downstream FAK and PRMT5 in glioblastoma cells.

The protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 confers therapeutic resistance to mTOR inhibition in glioblastoma.

Project description:IntroductionClinical trials directed at mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition have yielded disappointing results in glioblastoma (GBM). A major mechanism of resistance involves the activation of a salvage pathway stimulating internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-mediated protein synthesis. PRMT5 activity has been implicated in the enhancement of IRES activity.MethodsWe analyzed the expression and activity of PRMT5 in response to mTOR inhibition in GBM cell lines and short-term patient cultures. To determine whether PRMT5 conferred resistance we used genetic and pharmacological approaches to ablate PRMT5 activity and assessed the effects on in vitro and in vivo sensitivity. Mutational analyses of the requisite IRES-trans-acting factor (ITAF), hnRNP A1 determined whether PRMT5-mediated methylation was necessary for ITAF RNA binding and IRES activity.ResultsPRMT5 activity is stimulated in response to mTOR inhibitors. Knockdown or treatment with a PRMT5 inhibitor blocked IRES activity and sensitizes GBM cells. Ectopic expression of non-methylatable hnRNP A1 mutants demonstrated that methylation of either arginine residues 218 or 225 was sufficient to maintain IRES binding and hnRNP A1-dependent cyclin D1 or c-MYC IRES activity, however a double R218K/R225K mutant was unable to do so. The PRMT5 inhibitor EPZ015666 displayed synergistic anti-GBM effects in vitro and in a xenograft mouse model in combination with PP242.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that PRMT5 activity is stimulated upon mTOR inhibition in GBM. Our data further support a signaling cascade in which PRMT5-mediated methylation of hnRNP A1 promotes IRES RNA binding and activation of IRES-mediated protein synthesis and resultant mTOR inhibitor resistance.

Genetic validation of the protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 as a candidate therapeutic target in glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive histologic subtype of brain cancer with poor outcomes and limited treatment options. Here, we report the selective overexpression of the protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 as a novel candidate theranostic target in this disease. PRMT5 silences the transcription of regulatory genes by catalyzing symmetric dimethylation of arginine residues on histone tails. PRMT5 overexpression in patient-derived primary tumors and cell lines correlated with cell line growth rate and inversely with overall patient survival. Genetic attenuation of PRMT5 led to cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and loss of cell migratory activity. Cell death was p53-independent but caspase-dependent and enhanced with temozolomide, a chemotherapeutic agent used as a present standard of care. Global gene profiling and chromatin immunoprecipitation identified the tumor suppressor ST7 as a key gene silenced by PRMT5. Diminished ST7 expression was associated with reduced patient survival. PRMT5 attenuation limited PRMT5 recruitment to the ST7 promoter, led to restored expression of ST7 and cell growth inhibition. Finally, PRMT5 attenuation enhanced glioblastoma cell survival in a mouse xenograft model of aggressive glioblastoma. Together, our findings defined PRMT5 as a candidate prognostic factor and therapeutic target in glioblastoma, offering a preclinical justification for targeting PRMT5-driven oncogenic pathways in this deadly disease.

Myc and Omomyc functionally associate with the Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) in glioblastoma cells.

Project description:The c-Myc protein is dysregulated in many human cancers and its function has not been fully elucitated yet. The c-Myc inhibitor Omomyc displays potent anticancer properties in animal models. It perturbs the c-Myc protein network, impairs c-Myc binding to the E-boxes, retaining transrepressive properties and inducing histone deacetylation. Here we have employed Omomyc to further analyse c-Myc activity at the epigenetic level. We show that both Myc and Omomyc stimulate histone H4 symmetric dimethylation of arginine (R) 3 (H4R3me2s), in human glioblastoma and HEK293T cells. Consistently, both associated with protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5)--the catalyst of the reaction--and its co-factor Methylosome Protein 50 (MEP50). Confocal experiments showed that Omomyc co-localized with c-Myc, PRMT5 and H4R3me2s-enriched chromatin domains. Finally, interfering with PRMT5 activity impaired target gene activation by Myc whereas it restrained Omomyc-dependent repression. The identification of a histone-modifying complex associated with Omomyc represents the first demonstration of an active role of this miniprotein in modifying chromatin structure and adds new information regarding its action on c-Myc targets. More importantly, the observation that c-Myc may recruit PRMT5-MEP50, inducing H4R3 symmetric di-methylation, suggests previously unpredictable roles for c-Myc in gene expression regulation and new potential targets for therapy.

Allosteric Modulation of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5).

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) belongs to a family of enzymes that regulate the posttranslational modification of histones and other proteins via methylation of arginine. Methylation of histones is linked to an increase in transcription and regulates a manifold of functions such as signal transduction and transcriptional regulation. PRMT5 has been shown to be upregulated in the tumor environment of several cancer types, and the inhibition of PRMT5 activity was identified as a potential way to reduce tumor growth. Previously, four different modes of PRMT5 inhibition were known-competing (covalently or non-covalently) with the essential cofactor S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), blocking the substrate binding pocket, or blocking both simultaneously. Herein we describe an unprecedented conformation of PRMT5 in which the formation of an allosteric binding pocket abrogates the enzyme's canonical binding site and present the discovery of potent small molecule allosteric PRMT5 inhibitors.

Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) Mutations in Cancer Cells.

Project description:Arginine methylation is a form of posttranslational modification that regulates many cellular functions such as development, DNA damage repair, inflammatory response, splicing, and signal transduction, among others. Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is one of nine identified methyltransferases, and it can methylate both histone and non-histone targets. It has pleiotropic functions, including recruitment of repair machinery to a chromosomal DNA double strand break (DSB) and coordinating the interplay between repair and checkpoint activation. Thus, PRMT5 has been actively studied as a cancer treatment target, and small molecule inhibitors of its enzymatic activity have already been developed. In this report, we analyzed all reported PRMT5 mutations appearing in cancer cells using data from the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancers (COSMIC). Our goal is to classify mutations as either drivers or passengers to understand which ones are likely to promote cellular transformation. Using gold standard artificial intelligence algorithms, we uncovered several key driver mutations in the active site of the enzyme (D306H, L315P, and N318K). In silico protein modeling shows that these mutations may affect the affinity of PRMT5 for S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), which is required as a methyl donor. Electrostatic analysis of the enzyme active site shows that one of these mutations creates a tunnel in the vicinity of the SAM binding site, which may allow interfering molecules to enter the enzyme active site and decrease its activity. We also identified several non-coding mutations that appear to affect PRMT5 splicing. Our analyses provide insights into the role of PRMT5 mutations in cancer cells. Additionally, since PRMT5 single molecule inhibitors have already been developed, this work may uncover future directions in how mutations can affect targeted inhibition.

MYCN, neuroblastoma and focal adhesion kinase (FAK).

Project description:Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood. This tumor is characterized by poor survival, especially when it features amplification of the MYCN oncogene. The ability for human cancers to propagate is marked by their ability to invade and metastasize to distant sites. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a key tyrosine kinase involved in the survival and metastasis of a number of human tumor types. We have shown that FAK is present in human neuroblastoma and that its expression in neuroblastoma is related to the MYCN oncogene. We have also demonstrated that inhibition of FAK in neuroblastoma leads to decreased tumor cell survival. The current review addresses the relationship between the MYCN oncogene, focal adhesion kinase and neuroblastoma.

Arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 is essential for sustaining normal adult hematopoiesis.

Project description:Epigenetic regulators play critical roles in normal hematopoiesis, and the activity of these enzymes is frequently altered in hematopoietic cancers. The major type II protein arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 catalyzes the formation of symmetric dimethyl arginine and has been implicated in various cellular processes, including pluripotency and tumorigenesis. Here, we generated Prmt5 conditional KO mice to evaluate the contribution of PRMT5 to adult hematopoiesis. Loss of PRMT5 triggered an initial but transient expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs); however, Prmt5 deletion resulted in a concurrent loss of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), leading to fatal BM aplasia. PRMT5-specific effects on hematopoiesis were cell intrinsic and depended on PRMT5 methyltransferase activity. We found that PRMT5-deficient hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibited severely impaired cytokine signaling as well as upregulation of p53 and expression of its downstream targets. Together, our results demonstrate that PRMT5 plays distinct roles in the behavior of HSCs compared with HPCs and is essential for the maintenance of adult hematopoietic cells.

The arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 promotes mucosal defense in the intestine.

Project description:PRMT5 is a type II arginine methyltransferase abundantly expressed in the colonic epithelium. It is up-regulated in inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. However, its role in mucosal defense against enteric infection has not been studied. Here, we report that Prmt5 in the murine colon is up-regulated in response to Citrobacter rodentium infection. Pathogen clearance in mice with haploinsufficient expression of Prmt5 is significantly delayed compared with wildtype littermate controls. Transcriptomic analyses further reveal that PRMT5 regulates the expression of canonical crypt goblet cell genes involved in mucus production, assembly, and anti-microbial responses via methyltransferase activity-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Together, these findings uncover PRMT5 as a novel regulator of mucosal defense and a potential therapeutic target for treating intestinal diseases.

Grb2 promotes integrin-induced focal adhesion kinase (FAK) autophosphorylation and directs the phosphorylation of protein tyrosine phosphatase ? by the Src-FAK kinase complex.

Project description:The integrin-activated Src-focal adhesion kinase (FAK) kinase complex phosphorylates PTP? at Tyr789, initiating PTP?-mediated signaling that promotes cell migration. Recruitment of the BCAR3-Cas complex by PTP?-phospho-Tyr789 at focal adhesions is one mechanism of PTP? signaling. The adaptor protein Grb2 is also recruited by PTP?-phospho-Tyr789, although the role of the PTP?-Grb2 complex in integrin signaling is unknown. We show that silencing Grb2 expression in fibroblasts abolishes PTP?-Tyr789 phosphorylation and that this is due to two unexpected actions of Grb2. First, Grb2 promotes integrin-induced autophosphorylation of FAK-Tyr397. This is impaired in Grb2-depleted cells and prohibits FAK activation and formation of the Src-FAK complex. Grb2-depleted cells contain less paxillin, and paxillin overexpression rescues FAK-Tyr397 phosphorylation, suggesting that the FAK-activating action of Grb2 involves paxillin. A second distinct role for Grb2 in PTP?-Tyr789 phosphorylation involves Grb2-mediated coupling of Src-FAK and PTP?. This requires two phosphosites, FAK-Tyr925 and PTP?-Tyr789, for Grb2-Src homology 2 (SH2) binding. We propose that a Grb2 dimer links FAK and PTP?, and this positions active Src-FAK in proximity with other, perhaps integrin-clustered, molecules of PTP? to enable maximal PTP?-Tyr789 phosphorylation. These findings identify Grb2 as a new FAK activator and reveal its essential role in coordinating PTP? tyrosine phosphorylation to enable downstream integrin signaling and migration.

The PRMT5 arginine methyltransferase: many roles in development, cancer and beyond.

Project description:Post-translational arginine methylation is responsible for regulation of many biological processes. The protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5, also known as Hsl7, Jbp1, Skb1, Capsuleen, or Dart5) is the major enzyme responsible for mono- and symmetric dimethylation of arginine. An expanding literature demonstrates its critical biological function in a wide range of cellular processes. Histone and other protein methylation by PRMT5 regulate genome organization, transcription, stem cells, primordial germ cells, differentiation, the cell cycle, and spliceosome assembly. Metazoan PRMT5 is found in complex with the WD-repeat protein MEP50 (also known as Wdr77, androgen receptor coactivator p44, or Valois). PRMT5 also directly associates with a range of other protein factors, including pICln, Menin, CoPR5 and RioK1 that may alter its subcellular localization and protein substrate selection. Protein substrate and PRMT5-MEP50 post-translation modifications induce crosstalk to regulate PRMT5 activity. Crystal structures of C. elegans PRMT5 and human and frog PRMT5-MEP50 complexes provide substantial insight into the mechanisms of substrate recognition and procession to dimethylation. Enzymological studies of PRMT5 have uncovered compelling insights essential for future development of specific PRMT5 inhibitors. In addition, newly accumulating evidence implicates PRMT5 and MEP50 expression levels and their methyltransferase activity in cancer tumorigenesis, and, significantly, as markers of poor clinical outcome, marking them as potential oncogenes. Here, we review the substantial new literature on PRMT5 and its partners to highlight the significance of understanding this essential enzyme in health and disease.
