THE POLYCOMB PROTEINS RING1B AND EZH2 REPRESS THE TUMORAL PROINFLAMMATORY FUNCTION IN METASTASIZING PRIMARY CUTANEOUS SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

ABSTRACT: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common malignancy in humans and approximately 5% metastasize, usually to regional lymph nodes. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression may allow tumoral cells to acquire new functions in order to escape from the primary tumor. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and function of proteins of the Polycomb family of epigenetic regulators in the metastatic process of cSCC. A higher expression of RING1B and EZH2 was detected by immunohistochemistry in a series of primary cSCC tumors that metastasized (MSCC) when compared to non metastasizing cSCC (non MSCC). Stable downregulation of RING1B and EZH2 in cSCC cells results in enhanced expression of inflammatory cytokines and activation of the NFκB signaling pathway. Accordingly, non MSCC display higher levels of membranous pS176 IKK and their stroma is enriched in neutrophils and eosinophils when compared to MSCC. In vitro, hematopoietic cells exhibit a substantial migratory response to supernatants from Polycomb depleted cSCC cells. Altogether these data indicate that RING1B and EZH2 repress the innate inflammatory cSCC function and impair tumor immunosurveillance and suggest that patients with high risk cSCC could benefit from clinical therapies addressed to harness the immune response.

Project description:NguyenLK2011 - Ubiquitination dynamics in Ring1B-Bmi1 system This theoretical model investigates the dynamics of Ring1B/Bmi1 ubiquitination to identify bistable switch-like and oscillatory behaviour in the system. Michaelis-Menten (MM) equations are used to formulate the model. However, the authors show that the dynamics persist even for Mass-Action kinetics. This SBML file is the MM version of the model. This model is described in the article: Switches, excitable responses and oscillations in the Ring1B/Bmi1 ubiquitination system. Nguyen LK, Muñoz-García J, Maccario H, Ciechanover A, Kolch W, Kholodenko BN. PLoS Comput. Biol. 2011 Dec; 7(12): e1002317 Abstract: In an active, self-ubiquitinated state, the Ring1B ligase monoubiquitinates histone H2A playing a critical role in Polycomb-mediated gene silencing. Following ubiquitination by external ligases, Ring1B is targeted for proteosomal degradation. Using biochemical data and computational modeling, we show that the Ring1B ligase can exhibit abrupt switches, overshoot transitions and self-perpetuating oscillations between its distinct ubiquitination and activity states. These different Ring1B states display canonical or multiply branched, atypical polyubiquitin chains and involve association with the Polycomb-group protein Bmi1. Bistable switches and oscillations may lead to all-or-none histone H2A monoubiquitination rates and result in discrete periods of gene (in)activity. Switches, overshoots and oscillations in Ring1B catalytic activity and proteosomal degradation are controlled by the abundances of Bmi1 and Ring1B, and the activities and abundances of external ligases and deubiquitinases, such as E6-AP and USP7.
