Chromatin modifications induced by PML-RARalpha repress critical targets in leukemogenesis as analyzed by ChIP-Chip.

ABSTRACT: A global view of PML-RARα transcriptional functions was obtained by genome-wide binding and chromatin modification analyses, combined with genome wide expression data. Complete Abstract: The translocation t(15;17) generates the chimeric PML-RARα transcription factor that is the initiating event of acute promyelocytic leukemia. A global view of PML-RARα transcriptional functions was obtained by genome-wide binding and chromatin modification analyses, combined with genome wide expression data. ChIP-chip experiments identified 372 direct genomic PML-RARα targets. A subset of these was confirmed in primary acute promyelocytic leukemia. Direct PML-RARá targets include regulators of global transcriptional programs as well as critical regulatory genes for basic cellular functions such as cell cycle control and apoptosis. PML-RARα binding universally led to HDAC1 recruitment, loss of histone H3 acetylation, increased tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 and unexpectedly increased tri-methylation of histone H3 lysine 4. The binding of PMLRARα to target promoters and the resulting histone modifications resulted in mRNA repression of functionally relevant genes. Taken together our results reveal that the transcription factor PML-RARα regulates key cancer related genes and pathways by inducing a repressed chromatin formation on its direct genomic target genes.

Project description:We defined the RARα interactome in the MDA-MB453 breast cancer cell line genetically engineered to over-express an N-terminally tagged version of the nuclear retinoic acid receptor. Twenty eight nuclear proteins which interact with RARα and whose interaction is stimulated or reduced by the pan-RAR ligand, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) were identified. Given the potential significance of the S100A3 calcium-binding protein in the control of tumor progression, we focused our attention on this factor. Using the two models represented by the ATRA-sensitive SKBR3 and MCF7 breast cancer cell lines characterized by constitutive expression of S100A3 and RARα, we demonstrate that the endogenous forms of S100A3 and RARα interact in physiological conditions. The interaction of S100A3 with RARα is cell context independent and it is observed not only in breast cancer but also in acute promyelocytioc leukemia (APL) cells, characterized by expression of the RARα-derived PML-RARα oncogene, which is the product of the t(15:17) chromosomal translocation. S100A3 interacts directly and specifically with RARα and PML-RARα, being unable to bind other members of the RAR/RXR family of retinoid nuclear receptors. The interaction surface maps to the carboxyl-terminal region of the RARα ligand binding domain. Binding of S100A3 to RARα and PML-RARα controls the constitutive and ATRA-dependent degradation of the two receptors. Silencing of the S100A3 gene decreases the amounts of RARα in breast SK-BR-3 and lung A549 cancer cells, rendering them more refractory to the anti-proliferative action of ATRA. In SK-BR-3 cells, this effect is accompanied by a decrease in the lactogenic/differentiating action of ATRA. In APL-derived NB4 cells, S100A3 knock-down reduces the amounts of both RARα and PML-RARα. Contemporaneous down-regulation of the two receptors is associated with an increase in the basal and ATRA-induced expression of many granulocytic differentiation markers. Opposite on RARα and PML-RARα levels as well as ATRA induced differentiation markers are observed upon over-expression of S100A3 in NB4 cells.
