Identification of pannexin 1-regulated genes, interactome, and pathways in rhabdomyosarcoma and its tumor inhibitory interaction with AHNAK

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Our laboratory has recently reported novel tumor-suppressive roles of PANX1 in both embryonal (eRMS) and alveolar (aRMS) rhabdomyosarcoma, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be elucidated. Methods: PANX1-induced differential gene expression profile in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell line, Rh30, was generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed by BOWTIE/TOPHAT pipeline with accessary programs SAMTOOLS (v1.0) and CUTADAPT (v1.7.1) followed by Cufflinks (v2.2.1). The protein expression of the differentially regulated genes was validated by Western blotting. Results: Using RNA-seq and DAVID analysis, we showed that the Gene Ontology (GO) terms such as apoptosis and migration, and KEGG pathways such as MAPK and Rap1 Signaling pathways were amongst the most highly enriched processes in Rh30 (aRMS) cells with ectopic PANX1 expression. We found that both GJA1 and its encoded protein connexin 43 (Cx43) were significantly increased in PANX1 expressing Rh30 (aRMS) cells. Conclusion: PANX1 transcriptome and proteome databases hold great potential for discovery of novel PANX1 tumor-suppressive mechanisms and therapeutic targets for RMS.

Project description:We have recently reported the down-regulation of pannexin 1 (PANX1) levels in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and that restoration of its expression inhibits the progression of embryonal (eRMS) and alveolar (aRMS) rhabdomyosarcoma in vitro and in vivo. While we have shown that this PANX1-mediated inhibition of RMS progression involves reduction of cell proliferation and migration, as well as induction of apoptosis, the underlining molecular mechanisms at play remained to be elucidated. In the present study, using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) combined with DAVID analysis, we identified the PANX1 interactome in RMS cells and showed that the Gene Ontology (GO) terms such as apoptosis and migration, and KEGG pathways such as MAPK and Rap1 Signaling pathways were amongst the most highly enriched processes in Rh30 (aRMS) cells expressing ectopic PANX1. We then used a proximity-dependent labeling approach (BioID) to screen for the PANX1 interactors in RMS cells, which was complemented by co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) performed using Myc-PANX1-enriched subcellular fractions. STRING protein network analyses of the overlapping hits from these two approaches revealed a PANX1 interactome with plasma membrane and cytoskeleton associated proteins from which ACTB and AHNAK were further validated by co-IP using whole cell lysates followed by Western blotting analysis. Using this new and comprehensive information, we have generated the first online PANX1 transcriptome and interactome databases that allow searching, in a user-friendly manner, for PANX1-regulated genes and PANX1 interactors. Moreover, AHNAK knockdown in PANX1-expressing Rh18 (eRMS) and Rh30 (aRMS) significantly abrogated the PANX1-mediated reduction in cell viability and migration, as well as the PANX1-mediated sensitivity to anoikis. Using a combination of genome-wide unbiased approaches, this study is thus the first to identify the PANX1 transcriptome and interactome, providing the research community with online searchable databases to access the PANX1-regulated genes and PANX1 interacting partners. We have shown that PANX1 interacts with AHNAK and that this interaction is critical to the PANX1-mediated inhibition of RMS cell viability and migration, and induction of apoptosis; thus demonstrating how this new information can be used to identify key members of the PANX1 signaling pathway and their relevance to PANX1 function.
