Lineage-restricted regulation of SCD and fatty acid saturation by MITF controls melanoma phenotypic plasticity

ABSTRACT: Phenotypic and metabolic heterogeneity within tumors is a major barrier to effective cancer therapy. Yet how metabolism is implicated in specific phenotypes, and whether lineage-restricted mechanisms control key metabolic vulnerabilities remains poorly understood. In melanoma, down-regulation of the lineage addiction oncogene Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor (MITF) is a hallmark of the proliferative-to-invasive phenotype switch, though how MITF promotes proliferation and suppresses invasion is poorly defined. Here we show that MITF is a lineage restricted activator of the key lipogenic enzyme stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), and that SCD is required for MITFHigh melanoma cell proliferation. By contrast MITFLow cells are insensitive to SCD inhibition. Significantly, the MITF-SCD axis suppresses metastasis, inflammatory signalling, and an ATF4-mediated feedback-loop that maintains dedifferentiation. Our results reveal that MITF is a lineagespecific regulator of metabolic reprogramming, whereby fatty acid composition is a driver of melanoma phenotype-switching, and highlight that cell phenotype dictates response to drugs targeting lipid metabolism.

Regulation of SCD and fatty acid saturation by MITF controls melanoma phenotypic plasticity

Project description:The ability of cancer cells to switch phenotype in response to a dynamic intra-tumor microenvironment is a major barrier to effective therapy. In melanoma, down-regulation of the lineage addiction oncogene MITF (Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) is a hallmark of the proliferative-to-invasive phenotype switch. Yet how MITF promotes proliferation and suppresses invasion is poorly understood. Here we show that expression of the key lipogenic enzyme stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) is activated by MITF, but suppressed by the stress-responsive transcription factor ATF4. SCD expression is required for MITF-positive melanoma cell proliferation,. By contrast, MITF-low cells express reduced levels of SCD and are insensitive to its inhibition, indicating that cell phenotype dictates response to drugs targeting lipid metabolism. Since SCD suppresses inflammatory signalling and ATF4 expression, the results identify a positive feedback-loop that can maintain an invasive phenotype, uncover a key role for MITF and ATF4 in metabolic reprograming, and reveal fatty acid composition as a driver of melanoma phenotype-switching.

Opposing roles of JNK and p38 in regulating lymphangiogenesis and invasiveness in melanoma

Project description:In primary melanoma, the amount of VEGF-C expression and lymphangiogenesis predict the probability of metastasis to sentinel nodes, but conditions boosting VEGF-C expression in melanoma are poorly characterized. By comparative mRNA expression analysis of a set of 22 human melanoma cell lines, we found a striking negative correlation between VEGF-C and MITF expression, which was confirmed by data mining in GEO databases of human melanoma Affymetrix arrays. Moreover, in human patients, high VEGF-C, and low MITF levels in primary melanoma significantly correlated with the chance of metastasis. Pathway analysis disclosed the respective JNK- and p38/MAPK activities as being responsible for the inverse regulation of VEGF-C and MITF. Predominant JNK signaling results in a VEGF-Clow/MITFhigh phenotype, these melanoma cells are highly proliferative, show low mobility and are poorly lymphangiogenic. Predominant p38 signaling results in a VEGF-Chigh/MITFlow phenotype, corresponding to a slowly cycling, highly mobile, lymphangiogenic and metastatic melanoma.

Essential role of microphthalmia transcription factor for DNA replication, mitosis and genomic stability in melanoma

Project description:Malignant melanoma is an aggressive cancer known for its notorious resistance to most current therapies. The basic helix-loop-helix microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) is the master regulator determining the identity and properties of the melanocyte lineage, and is regarded as a lineage-specific ‘oncogene’ that has a critical role in the pathogenesis of melanoma. MITF promotes melanoma cell proliferation, whereas sustained supression of MITF expression leads to senescence. By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequen- cing analyses, we show that MITF directly regulates a set of genes required for DNA replication, repair and mitosis. Our results reveal how loss of MITF regulates mitotic fidelity, and through defective replication and repair induces DNA damage, ultimately ending in cellular senescence. These findings reveal a lineage-specific control of DNA replication and mitosis by MITF, providing new avenues for therapeutic intervention in melanoma. The identification of MITF-binding sites and gene- regulatory networks establish a framework for under- standing oncogenic basic helix-loop-helix factors such as N-myc or TFE3 in other cancers. 4 samples corresponding to genomic occupancy profiling of MITF (Cl8), PolII (501Mel), H3K4me3 501Mel). Anti-HA ChIP-seq on untagged cell line (501Mel) was used as a control.

Targeting the lineage-specific long non-coding RNA LINC01212 as an effective anti-melanoma therapeutic strategy [2]

Project description:Focal amplifications of 3p13-3p14 occur in about 10% of melanoma and are associated with poor prognosis. The melanoma-specific oncogene MITF resides at the epicenter of this amplicon1. However, whether other loci present in this amplicon also contribute to melanomagenesis is unknown. Here we show that the recently annotated long non-coding RNA gene LINC01212 is consistently co-gained with MITF. In addition to being amplified, LINC01212 is a target of the lineage-specific transcription factor SOX10 and, consequently, it is expressed in more than 90% of human melanomas, but not in normal adult tissues. Whereas exogenous LINC01212 functions in trans to increase melanoma clonogenic potential LINC01212 knock-down dramatically decreases the viability of melanoma cells irrespective of their transcriptional cell state, BRAF, NRAS or TP53 status, diminishes melanoma growth and increases their sensitivity to MAPK-targeting therapeutics both in vitro and in patient-derived melanoma xenograft mouse models. Mechanistically, LINC01212 functions as a lineage addiction oncogene by interacting with and modulating the cellular localization and function of two proteins, XRN2 and p32, involved in nucleolar and mitochondrial rRNA processing, ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis. LINC01212 targeting, especially in combination with BRAFV600E-inhibitors, is expected to deliver highly effective and tissue-restricted antimelanoma therapeutic responses. Five GapmeR3 treated and four control treated patient derived xenografts were analysed.

DNA Promoter Hypermethylation of Melanocyte Lineage Genes Determines Melanoma Phenotype

Project description:Cellular stress contributes to the capacity of melanoma cells to undergo phenotype switching into highly migratory and drug tolerant dedifferentiated states. Such dedifferentiated melanoma cell states are marked by loss of melanocyte specific gene expression and increase of mesenchymal markers. Two crucial transcription factors, MITF and SOX10, important in melanoma development and progression have been implicated in this process. In this study we describe that loss of MITF is associated with a distinct transcriptional program, MITF promoter hypermethylation and poor patient survival in metastatic melanoma. From a comprehensive collection of melanoma cell lines, we observed that MITF methylated cultures were subdivided in two distinct subtypes. Examining mRNA levels of neural crest associated genes we found that one subtype had lost the expression of several lineage genes including SOX10. Intriguingly, SOX10 loss was associated with SOX10 gene promoter hypermethylation and distinct phenotypic and metastatic properties. Depletion of SOX10 in MITF methylated melanoma cells using CRISPR/Cas9 confirmed these findings. In conclusion, this study describes the significance of melanoma state and the underlying functional properties explaining the aggressiveness of such states.

MITF WT and K243-mutant binding and expression [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:MITF is the master regulator of the melanocyte lineage and a melanoma lineage oncogene. It controls a wide range of target genes fulfilling many distinct functions, but relatively little is known about how its DNA-binding is regulated to select the correct target genes. The datasets presented here were used investigate the effects of MAPK signaling-induced MITF-acetylation on MITF activity in melanoma cells through ChIP-Seq of wild-type and acetyl-mutant MITF.

Low MITF/AXL ratio predicts early resistance to multiple targeted drugs in melanoma

Project description:Increased MITF expression contributes to melanoma progression and resistance to BRAF pathway inhibition. We show that, unexpectedly, lack of MITF is associated with more severe resistance to a range of inhibitors. Indeed, the presence of endogenous MITF was essential for robust drug responses. Both in primary and acquired resistance, MITF levels inversely correlated with expression of several activated receptor tyrosine kinases, most commonly AXL. The MITF-low/AXL-high/drug resistance phenotype was seen in roughly half of BRAF mutant and the majority of NRAS mutant melanoma cell lines. The dichotomous behavior of MITF in drug response was corroborated in vemurafenib-resistant biopsies, including MITF high and low clones in a relapsed patient. Drug cocktails containing AXL inhibitor enhanced melanoma cell elimination by BRAF or ERK inhibition. Our results demonstrate that a low MITF/AXL ratio predicts early resistance to multiple targeted drugs, and warrant clinical validation of AXL inhibitors to combat resistance of BRAF and NRAS mutant MITF-low melanomas. Experssion analysis by RNAseq of 14 melanoma cell lines.

BRAF/MAPK and GSK3 signaling converges to control MITF nuclear export

Project description:The close integration of the MAPK, PI3K, and WNT signaling pathways underpins much of development and is deregulatedin cancer. In principle, combinatorial posttranslational modification of key lineage specific transcription factors would be an effective mean stointegrate critical signaling events. Understanding how this might be achieved is central to deciphering the impact of microenvironmental cues in development and disease. The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor MITF plays a crucial role in the development of melanocytes, the retinal pigment epithelium, osteoclasts, and mast cells and acts as a lineage survival oncogene in melanoma. MITF coordinates survival, differentiation, cell-cycle progression, cell migration, metabolism, and lysosome biogenesis. However, how the activity of this key transcriptionfactoriscontrolledremainspoorlyunderstood.Here,we showthatGSK3,downstreamfromboththePI3KandWntpathways, and BRAF/MAPK signaling converge to control MITF nuclear export. Phosphorylation of the melanocyte MITF-M isoform in response to BRAF/MAPK signaling primes for phosphorylation by GSK3, a kinase inhibited by both PI3K and Wnt signaling. Dual phosphorylation, but not monophosphorylation, then promotes MITF nuclear export by activatinga previously unrecognizedhydrophobic exportsignal. NonmelanocyteMITFisoformsexhibitpoorregulationbyMAPKsignaling, but instead their export is controlled by mTOR. We uncover here an unanticipated mode of MITF regulation that integrates the output of key developmental and cancer-associated signaling pathways to gate MITF flux through the import–export cycle. The results have significant implications for our understanding of melanoma progression and stem cell renewal.
