Downregulation of CFIm25 amplifies dermal fibrosis through Alternative Polyadenylation

ABSTRACT: Systemic sclerosis (SSc - scleroderma) is a multi-system, fibrotic disease affecting skin and internal organs. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) involves the differential usage of polyadenylation signals, which gives rise to transcripts with variable 3'UTR length. The mammalian Cleavage factor I 25kDa subunit (CFIm25, encoded by NUDT21) is a key regulator of alternative polyadenylation APA and its depletion causes predominantly 3'UTR shortening through loss of stimulation of distal polyA sites resulting in increased used of proximal polyA sites. A shortened 3'UTR will often lack microRNA target sites, resulting in increased mRNA translation due to evasion of microRNA-mediated gene repression. Herein, we report that CFlm25 is downregulated in SSc skin, and primary dermal fibroblasts, andas well as in two murine models of dermal fibrosis.The purpose of this experiment is to identify the APA targets of CFIm25 in human skin fibroblasts. Following the knockdown of CFIm25 in normal human skin fibroblasts, we identified 971 genes with shortened 3’UTRs, including those involved in the transforming growth factor-beta signaling pathway.

CFIm25 links alternative polyadenylation to glioblastoma tumour suppression

Project description:Purpose: To identify all of the APA targets of CFIm25 on a global scale and develop an algorithm that can idenitify APA events from standard RNA-seq data Methods: RNA from HeLa cells treated with control siRNA and CFIm25 siRNA were subject to RNA-Seq. Using a custom-designed algorithm to mine RNA-seq data for novel APA events regulated by CFIm25. Results: We identified over 1,400 genes with shortened 3’UTRs after CFIm25 knockdown. Importantly, we show that as a consequence of APA, many of these mRNAs have greatly enhanced protein expression due to the loss of destabilizing features within the 3’UTR. Conclusions: Our study underscored the critical function of the CFIm complex members in governing APA and establish a previously unknown link between APA and metabolic pathways important for tumor progression. Hela cell line mRNA profiles of control treated and CFIm25 Knockdown were generated by RNA-Seq using Illumina GAIIx.

Activation and inhibition of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay control the abundance of alternative polyadenylation products

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) produces transcript 3’ untranslated regions (3’UTRs) with distinct sequences, lengths, stability, and functions. We show here that APA products include a class of cryptic nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) substrates with extended 3’UTRs that gene- or transcript-level analyses of NMD often fail to detect. Transcriptome-wide, the core NMD factor UPF1 preferentially recognizes long 3’UTR products of APA, leading to their systematic downregulation. Further, we find that many APA events consistently observed in multiple tumor types are controlled by NMD. Additionally, PTBP1, previously implicated in direct modulation of co-transcriptional polyA site choice, regulates the balance of short and long 3’UTR isoforms by inhibiting NMD. Our data suggest that PTBP1 binding near polyA sites can drive production of long 3’UTR APA products in the nucleus and/or protect them from decay in the cytoplasm. Together, our findings reveal a widespread role for NMD in shaping the outcomes of APA.

EphB2 Receptor Promotes Dermal Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Project description:Objectives: Eph/Ephrin cell-cell signaling is emerging as a key player in tissue fibrogenesis. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the receptor tyrosine kinase EphB2 mediates dermal fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: We assessed normal and SSc human skin biopsies for EphB2 expression. The in vivo role of EphB2 in skin fibrosis was investigated by subjecting EphB2-knockout mice to both bleomycin-induced and tight skin (Tsk1/+) genetic mouse models. EphB2 kinase-dead and overactive point mutant mice were used to evaluate the role of EphB2 forward signaling in bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis. In vitro studies were performed on dermal fibroblasts from SSc patients and healthy controls, which was followed by in vivo analysis of fibroblast-specific EphB2 deficient mice. Results: Expression of EphB2 is upregulated in SSc skin tissue and explanted SSc dermal fibroblasts compared to healthy controls. EphB2 expression is elevated in two animal models of dermal fibrosis. In mice, EphB2 drives dermal fibrosis in both the bleomycin and the Tsk1/+ models of skin fibrosis. EphB2 forward signaling is a critical mediator of dermal fibrosis. Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) cytokines upregulate EphB2 in dermal fibroblasts via non-canonical TGFβ/SMAD signaling and silencing EphB2 in dermal fibroblasts is sufficient to dampen TGFβ-induced fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation. Moreover, mice with fibroblast-specific deletion of EphB2 showed impaired fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and reduced skin fibrosis upon bleomycin challenge. Conclusion: Our data implicate EphB2 overexpression and kinase-mediated forward signaling in the development of dermal fibrosis in SSc. EphB2 thus represents a potential new therapeutic target for SSc.

NUDT21 Negatively Regulates PSMB2 and CXXC5 by Alternative Polyadenylation and Contributes to Hepatocellular Carcinoma Suppression

Project description:HCC is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of HCC is still largely elusive. NUDT21 (CFIm25) is an important mediator of 3′ UTR APA and demonstrates a causal relationship between alternative polyadenylation and cancer cell proliferation. Although the function of NUDT21 has been explored in glioblastoma tumor, the functional significance of NUDT21 in solid tumors is not well understood. In this study, we observed that NUDT21 is suppressed in human HCC tissues, compared to adjacent noncancerous tissues. In addition we found that the HCC patients with suppressed NUDT21 are statistically associated with poor outcomes. These observations suggest NUDT21 possibly functions as tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Interacting proteins of NUDT21 identified by IP-MS

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation modulates gene expresion via changing the length of 3'UTR. Among the complexes involving in APA, CFIm complex plays a central role in determining the usage of proximal PAS versus distal one. NUDT21, also named as CFIm25 and CPSF5, is the core component of CFIm complex. To date, except CPSF6 and CPSF7, there are few proteins reported to interact with NUDT21. In this project, the interactome of NUDT21 was identified by IP-MS.

Alternative polyadenylation alters protein dosage by switching between intronic and 3' UTR sites

Project description:Alternative polyadenylation (APA) creates distinct transcripts from the same gene by cleaving the pre-mRNA at poly(A) sites that can lie within the 3' UTR, introns, or exons. Most studies focus on APA within the 3' UTR, but here we show that CPSF6 insufficiency alters protein levels and causes a developmental syndrome by deregulating APA throughout the transcript. In neonatal humans and zebrafish larvae, CPSF6 insufficiency shifts poly(A) site usage between the 3'UTR and internal sites in a pathway-specific manner. Genes associated with neuronal function undergo mostly intronic APA, reducing their expression, while genes associated with heart and skeletal function mostly undergo 3' UTR APA and are upregulated. This suggests that, in healthy conditions, cells toggle between internal and 3'UTR APA to modulate protein expression.

Distinct, opposing functions for CFIm59 and CFIm68 in mRNA alternative polyadenylation of Pten and in the PI3K/Akt signalling cascade

Project description:The precise maintenance of PTEN dosage is crucial for tumor suppression across a wide variety of cancers. Post-transcriptional regulation of Pten heavily relies on regulatory elements encoded by its 3’UTR. We previously reported the important diversity of 3’UTR isoforms of Pten mRNAs produced through alternative polyadenylation (APA). Here, we reveal the direct regulation of Pten APA by the mammalian cleavage factor I (CFIm) complex, which in turn contributes to PTEN protein dosage. CFIm consists of the UGUA-binding CFIm25 and APA regulatory subunits CFIm59 or CFIm68. Deep sequencing analyses of perturbed (KO and KD) cell lines uncovered the differential regulation of Pten APA by CFIm59 and CFIm68 and further revealed that their divergent functions have widespread impact for APA in transcriptomes. Differentially regulated genes include numerous factors within the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signalling pathway that PTEN counter-regulates. We further reveal a stratification of APA dysregulation among a subset of PTEN-driven cancers, with recurrent alterations among PI3K/Akt pathway genes regulated by CFIm. Our results refine the transcriptome selectivity of the CFIm complex in APA regulation, and the breadth of its impact in PTEN-driven cancers.
