The splicing factor HNRNPM promotes hepatocellular carcinoma by decreasing TRIM7 expression through the alternative splicing of lncRNA-TRIM7-AS

ABSTRACT: Understanding the roles of splicing factors and splicing events during tumorigenesis would open new avenues for targeted therapies. Here we identify an oncofetal splicing factor, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M (HNRNPM), which promotes tumorigenesis and predicts poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. HNRNPM knockdown almost completely abolishes HCC tumorigenesis. Transcriptomic analysis combined with RNA-immunoprecipatation sequencing revealed that HNRNPM induces lncRNA-TRIM7-AS exon 2 inclusion. The transcript containing exon 2 binds to coding sequences of TRIM7 mRNA, causes dissociation of translation elongation factors from TRIM7 mRNA, and thereby inhibits TRIM7 mRNA translation. In contrast, the transcript including exon 3 preferentially binds to the 3’ untranslated region of TRIM7 mRNA, protects TRIM7 mRNA from microRNA-145-5p induced degradation, and thereby increases TRIM7 expression. Through inducing exon 2 inclusion, HNRNPM downregulates TRIM7 protein expression, which mediates the pro-tumorigenic roles of HNRNPM. Collectively, these data demonstrate detailed mechanistic links between an oncofetal splicing factor, a splicing event and tumorigenesis, and establish splicing factors and splicing events as potential therapeutic targets.

HNRNPM-regulated splicing dependencies in prostate cancer [eCLIP-Seq]

Project description:Cancer cells are differentially dependent on the splicing machinery compared to normal untransformed cells. The splicing machinery thus presents a potential therapeutic target in cancer. To identify splicing factors important for prostate cancer cell (PCa) growth, we performed an unbiased pooled shRNA screen in in vitro passaged cells and in vivo xenografted PCa tumors. Our screen revealed HNRNPM as a potential regulator of PCa cell growth. RNA- and eCLIP- sequencing data suggest that HNRNPM is bound to key homeostatic genes, and that loss of HNRNPM binding in a subset of these genes results in aberrant exon inclusion and exon back-splicing events in target transcripts. In mis-spliced transcripts, HNRNPM appears to preferentially bind to GU-rich elements in long flanking proximal introns. Mimicry of HNRNPM dependent splicing events using antisense oligonucleotides was sufficient to inhibit cell growth in HNRNPM expressing cells, suggesting that inhibition of cell growth in HNRNPM deficient cells likely has a multi-genic component. Taken together, our data reveal a role for HNRNPM in regulating PCa cell growth, and also as a potential therapeutic target in PCa.

Transcriptome-wide identification of transcripts regulated by MBNL3 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Project description:Understanding the roles of splicing factors and splicing events during human tumorigenesis would open new avenues for targeted therapeutics. Here we identify an oncofetal splicing factor MBNL3, which indicates poor prognosis, and promotes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumorigenesis. Genetic MBNL3 inhibition almost completely abolishes HCC tumorigenesis. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that MBNL3 induces PXN antisense transcript 1 exon 4 inclusion. The transcript lacking exon 4 binds to coding sequences of PXN mRNA, causes dissociation of translation elongation factors from PXN mRNA, thereby inhibiting PXN mRNA translation. Whereas the transcript containing exon 4 preferentially binds to 3' untranslated region of PXN mRNA, protects PXN mRNA from microRNA-24-AGO2 complex-induced degradation, thereby increasing PXN expression. Through inducing exon 4 inclusion, MBNL3 upregulates PXN expression, which mediates the pro-tumorigenic roles of MBNL3. Collectively, these data demonstrate detailed mechanistic links between oncofetal splicing factor, splicing event, and tumorigenesis, and establish splicing factors and splicing events would be potential therapeutic targets.

Cell-type restricted activity of hnRNPM promotes breast cancer metastasis via regulating alternative splicing

Project description:Tumor metastasis remains the major cause of cancer-related death, but its molecular basis is still not well understood. Here we uncovered a splicing-mediated pathway that is essential for breast cancer metastasis. We show that the RNA-binding protein hnRNPM promotes breast cancer metastasis by activating the switch of alternative splicing that occurs during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Genome-wide deep sequencing analysis suggests that hnRNPM potentiates TGFb signaling and identifies CD44 as a key downstream target of hnRNPM. hnRNPM ablation prevents TGFb-induced EMT and inhibits breast cancer metastasis in mice, whereas enforced expression of the specific CD44s splice isoform overrides the loss of hnRNPM and permits EMT and metastasis. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the ubiquitously expressed hnRNPM acts in a mesenchymal-specific manner to precisely control CD44 splice isoform switching during EMT. This restricted cell-type activity of hnRNPM is achieved by competition with ESRP1, an epithelial-splicing regulator that binds to the same cis-regulatory RNA elements and is repressed during EMT. Importantly, hnRNPM is associated with aggressive breast cancer and correlates with increased CD44s in patient specimens. These findings demonstrate a novel molecular mechanism through which tumor metastasis is endowed by the hnRNPM-mediated splicing program.

Co-regulation of alternative splicing by hnRNPM and ESRP1 during EMT

Project description:The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental developmental process that is abnormally activated in cancer metastasis. Dynamic changes in alternative splicing occur during EMT. ESRP1 and hnRNPM are splicing regulators that promote an epithelial splicing program and a mesenchymal splicing program, respectively. The functional relationships between these splicing factors in the genome-scale remain elusive. Comparing alternative splicing targets of hnRNPM and ESRP1 revealed that they co-regulate a set of cassette exon events, with the majority showing discordant splicing regulation. hnRNPM discordantly regulated splicing events show a positive correlation with splicing during EMT while concordant splicing events do not, highlighting the antagonistic role of hnRNPM and ESRP1 during EMT. Motif enrichment analysis near co-regulated exons identifies guanine-uridine rich motifs downstream of hnRNPM-repressed and ESRP1-enhanced exons, supporting a model of competitive binding to these cis-elements to antagonize alternative splicing. The set of co-regulated exons are enriched in genes associated with cell-migration and cytoskeletal reorganization, which are pathways associated with EMT. Splicing levels of co-regulated exons are associated with breast cancer patient survival and correlate with gene sets involved in EMT and breast cancer subtypes. In conclusion, hnRNPM and ESRP1 co-regulate antagonistically a set of alternative splicing events that occur during EMT. This regulation is likely mediated through competition for the same intronic binding sites downstream of variable exons. hnRNPM and ESRP1 regulated splicing events are associated with breast cancer survival.

PARP4 interacts with hnRNPM to regulate splicing during lung cancer progression

Project description:Background: The identification of cancer driver genes from sequencing data has been crucial in deepening our understanding of tumor biology and expanding targeted therapy options. However, apart from the most commonly altered genes, the mechanisms underlying the contribution of other mutations to cancer acquisition remain understudied. Leveraging on our whole-exome sequencing of the largest Asian lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cohort (n=302), we now functionally assess the mechanistic role of a novel driver, PARP4. Methods: In vitro and in vivo tumorigenicity assays were used to study the functional effects of PARP4 loss and mutation in multiple lung cancer cell lines. Interactomics analysis by quantitative mass spectrometry was conducted to identify PARP4’s interaction partners. Transcriptomic data from cell lines and patient tumors were used to investigate splicing alterations. Results: PARP4 depletion or mutation (I1039T) promotes the tumorigenicity of KRAS- or EGFR-driven lung cancer cells. Disruption of the vault complex, with which PARP4 is commonly associated, did not alter tumorigenicity, indicating that PARP4’s tumor suppressive activity is mediated independently. The splicing regulator hnRNPM is a potentially novel PARP4 interaction partner, the loss of which likewise promotes tumor formation. hnRNPM loss results in splicing perturbations, with a propensity for dysregulated intronic splicing that was similarly observed in PARP4 knockdown cells and in LUAD cohort patients with PARP4 copy number loss. Conclusions: PARP4 is a novel modulator of lung adenocarcinoma, where its tumor suppressive activity is mediated not through the vault complex – unlike conventionally thought, but in association with its novel interaction partner hnRNPM, thus suggesting a role for splicing dysregulation in LUAD tumorigenesis.

The spliceosome factor USP39 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma malignancy through regulating mRNA splicing

Project description:Abnormal alternative splicing (AS) caused by alterations to splicing factors contributes to tumor progression. Nonetheless, the relevant targets and mechanisms remain elusive in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we reported that overexpression of Ubiquitin-specific protease 39 (USP39), a spliceosome component of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, is associated with poor clinical outcomes and proliferative signaling. Functionally, hepatocyte-specific USP39 knockin mice exhibited enhanced hepatocarcinogenesis. In vitro, USP39 promoted HCC cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in a spliceosome-dependent manner. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that USP39 depletion led to comprehensively impaired constitutive splicing and intriguingly, selective AS of hundreds of genes. USP39-mediated splicing switch of KANK2-S to KANK2-L increased the tumorigenic potential of HCC cells through accelerating KANK2 translation. Mechanistically, USP39 modulates exon inclusion/exclusion via interaction with SRSF6 or hnRNPC in a position-dependent manner. These findings highlight a role for USP39 as a splicing regulator in HCC biology and establishing its position-dependent splicing model.
