USP37 Promotes Deubiquitination of HIF2a in Kidney Cancer

ABSTRACT: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by a loss of tumor suppressor Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) function, which leads to accumulation of hypoxia inducible factor (including HIF1 and HIF2). HIF2 was previously reported to be one of the major oncogenic drivers in ccRCC, however its therapeutic targeting remains challenging. Here we performed a deubiquitinase (DUB) cDNA library binding screen and discovered that USP37 is a DUB that binds HIF2 and promotes HIF2 deubiquitination. As a result, USP37 promotes HIF2 protein stability in an enzymatically dependent manner and depletion of USP37 leads to HIF2 downregulation in ccRCC. Functionally, USP37 depletion causes decreased cell proliferation measured by MTS, 2-D colony formation as well as 3-D anchorage independent growth. USP37 is also essential for maintaining kidney tumorigenesis in an orthotopic xenograft model and its depletion leads to decreased primary kidney tumorigenesis and spontaneous lung metastasis. Our results suggest that USP37 is a potential new therapeutic target in ccRCC.

USP13 Promotes Deubiquitination of ZHX2 and Tumorigenesis in Kidney Cancer

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by loss of tumor suppressor Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) function. VHL is the component of E3 ligase complex that promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia inducible factor alpha (including HIF1alpha and HIF2alpha) and Zinc Fingers And Homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2). Our recent research showed that ZHX2 contributed to ccRCC tumorigenesis in a HIF independent manner. However, it remains unknown whether ZHX2 can be regulated through deubiquitination. Here we performed a deubiquitinase (DUB) cDNA library binding screen and identified USP13 as a novel DUB that bound ZHX2 and promoted ZHX2 deubiquitination. As a result, USP13 promoted ZHX2 protein stability in an enzymatically dependent manner and depletion of USP13 led to ZHX2 downregulation in ccRCC. Functionally, USP13 depletion led to decreased cell proliferation measured by 2-D colony formation and 3-D anchorage independent growth. USP was a critical effector on maintaining kidney tumorigenesis in an orthotopic xenograft model and its depletion led to both decreased primary kidney tumorigenesis and spontaneous lung metastasis. Our results suggest that USP13 is a potential new therapeutic target in ccRCC.

Towards a CRISPR-Based Mouse Model of Vhl-deficient Clear Cell Kidney Cancer: Initial Experience and Lessons Learned

Project description:CRISPR is revolutionizing the ability to do somatic gene editing in mice for the purpose of creating new cancer models. Inactivation of the VHL tumor suppressor gene is the signature initiating event in the most common form of kidney cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Such tumors are usually driven by the excessive HIF2 activity that arises when the VHL gene product, pVHL, is defective. Given the pressing need for a robust immunocompetent mouse model of human ccRCC, we directly injected adenovirus-associated viruses (AAVs) encoding sgRNAs against VHL and other known/suspected ccRCC tumor suppressor genes into the kidneys of C57BL/6 mice under conditions where Cas9 was under the control of one of two different kidney-specific promoters (Cdh16 or Pax8) to induce kidney tumors. An AAV targeting Vhl, Pbrm1, Keap1 and Tsc1 reproducibly caused macroscopic ccRCCs that partially resembled human ccRCC tumors with respect to transcriptome and cell of origin and responded to a ccRCC standard of care agent, axitinib. RNAseq analysis was utilized to evaluate the expression profile produced by the targeted loss of Vhl, Pbrm1, Keap1 and Tsc1 in these mouse tumors. Unfortunately, these tumors, like those produced by earlier genetically engineered mouse ccRCCs, are HIF2-independent.

The transcription factor HIF2a partakes in the differentiation blockade of acute myeloid leukaemia [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by an accumulation of aberrant myeloid cells arrested at different stages of differentiation. Therapeutic approaches that prompt AML blasts to differentiate represent an attractive opportunity in the landscape of AML therapies, as they aim to induce terminal maturation and leukemia debulking without intensive cytotoxic treatments. In the present study, we investigate the involvement of HIF1 and HIF2 transcription factors in AML pathogenesis, and position HIF2 as a novel regulator of the AML differentiation block. We performed a comparative analysis of HIF1 and HIF2 function in AML cell lines via their inhibition with genetic or pharmacological strategies and found that both factors promote AML proliferation and clonogenicity. Importantly, specific inhibition of HIF2 provokes AML cell differentiation in cell lines and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Mechanistically, we found that HIF2 and EZH2, the catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2, cooperate at favoring EZH2-mediated deposition of the repressive histone mark H3K27me3 on the regulatory regions of myeloid differentiation genes. Additionally, we demonstrate that HIF2 is positively regulated by the pro-differentiation agent all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), and its inhibition cooperates with ATRA in triggering AML cell differentiation. In conclusion, we report evidence of a new role of HIF2 in the pathogenesis of AML, by promoting an undifferentiated state via EZH2-mediated epigenetic silencing of myeloid differentiation genes. We propose that HIF2 inhibition may open new therapeutic avenues for AML treatment by licensing AML differentiation and synergizing with ATRA towards leukemia exhaustion.

Microarray characterization of Vhl; Vhl, Hif1a; Vhl, Hif2a and Vhl, Hif1a, Hif2a deficient primary kidney cells

Project description:To unravel the potential cooperative roles of oxygen-regulated signaling pathways; von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor protein and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factors, we have generated mutant mice with; Vhlh, Vhlh/Hif1Î±, Vhlh/Hif2Î± and Vhlh/Hif1Î±/Hif2Î± gene alleles floxed. Subsequently primary kidney cells were isolated, cultured and infected with Adenoviruses bearing either Cre/GFP or GFP expression only. Agilent cDNA microarrays were utilized to compare the gene expression profiles of the kidney epithelial cells from aforementioned cell cultures to gain insight about the molecules and signaling pathways that drive aberrant cellular proliferation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). 24 independent biological samples from 4 genetic experimental conditions were hybridized in two- color format on 13 Mouse GE 4x44K v2 Microarray Kit (Design ID 026655) arrays. Eventual dye specific hybridization effects were controlled with dye swap on biological replicates. For an each experimental condition 3 arrays were use, except of one where 4 arrays were used (one sample combination in repetition with a dye swap). For the final analysis the gene expression levels were dye effect corrected and values for biological replicates were averaged to obtain a matrix with gene expression levels for 4 independent biological (1. Vhlh-/-, 2. Vhlh-/-/Hif1Î±-/-, 3. Vhlh-/-/Hif2Î±-/- and 4. Vhlh-/-/Hif1Î±-/-/Hif2Î±-/-) conditions.

Proteomics analysis on SETD2 loss induced ccRCC formation

Project description:Patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) encounter a high risk of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a malignant tumor with dysregulated lipid metabolism. SET domain–containing 2 (SETD2) has been identified as an important tumor suppressor gene in ccRCC. However, the role of SETD2 in tumorigenesis during the transition from PKD to ccRCC remains largely unexplored. Herein, we performed metabolomics, lipidomics, transcriptomics and proteomics with SETD2 loss induced PKD-ccRCC transition mouse model. To characterize biological responses triggered by SETD2 deletion during PKD-ccRCC transition at the protein level, we conducted global proteomics studies.

Integrative genomic analysis of sporadic clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common cancer of the kidney. We applied an integrated approach to identify important factors that influence carcinogenesis in ccRCC. 33 frozen ccRCC samples were subject to copy number analysis. The data was analyzed to identify factors affecting tumorigenesis. The samples were also stained for HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha expression. The tumors were subtyped based on HIF expression and investigated for differences in genetic aberrations.

Tsc1 and Vhl loss cooperates to drive renal cell carcinoma through augmenting HIF1 and NRF2 signaling pathways

Project description:Besides the truncal VHL mutations, ccRCC is characterized by upregulated MTOR signals from both preclinical and clinical studies. To understand how upregulated MTOR signals cooperate with VHL loss in promoting kidney tumorigenesis, we generated kidney-specific deletion of Vhl and Tsc1 (Vhl;Tsc1 cDKO) in mice. The mice showed decreased life span with maximal age of 11 weeks, bilateral polycystic kidney diseases from ~3 weeks and multifocal solid renal cell carcinoma with eosinophilic cytoplasm and grade 2-3 from 7 weeks old. The mouse tumors resemble histology of the human kidney tumors with VHL and TSC1 mutations. To understand the mechanism of how Tsc1 loss cooperates with Vhl loss in promoting tumorigenesis, we performed transcriptomic, metabolomic and immunohistochemical profilings of renal cortices from age-matched wild-type, Vhl or Tsc1 single knockout, and Vhl;Tsc1 cDKO mice. Tsc1 loss cooperates with Vhl loss by augmenting the HIF1 transcriptional output, as well as altering the glutamine/glutamate metabolism, urea cycle, glycogen metabolism, and activating NRF2 signaling pathways which reprogram the cells to counteract the high oxidative stress associated with the proliferation. Our study reports a ccRCC mouse model recapitulating human ccRCC with same genetic background, provides mechanistic insights concerning cooperation between upregulated mTORC1 signals and VHL loss, generates in vivo reagents for studying ccRCC, and implicates potential clinical values.
