A complex epigenome-splicing crosstalk governs epithelial to mesenchymal transition in metastasis and brain development

ABSTRACT: Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) renders epithelial cells migratory properties. While epigenetic and splicing changes have been implicated in EMT, the mechanisms governing their crosstalk remain poorly understood. Here, we discovered a C2H2 zinc finger protein, ZNF827, is strongly induced during various contexts of EMT including in brain development and breast cancer metastasis and is required for the molecular and phenotypic changes underlying EMT in these processes. Mechanistically, ZNF827 mediated these responses by orchestrating a large-scale remodeling of the splicing landscape by recruiting HDAC1 for epigenetic modulation of distinct genomic loci, thereby slowing RNA Pol II progression and altering the splicing of genes encoding key EMT regulators in cis. Our findings reveal an unprecedented complexity of crosstalk between epigenetic landscape and splicing programme in governing EMT and identify ZNF827 as a master regulator coupling these processes during EMT in brain development and breast cancer metastasis.

A complex epigenome-splicing crosstalk governs epithelial to mesenchymal transition in metastasis and brain development

Project description:Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) renders epithelial cells to acquire migratory characteristics during development and cancer metastasis. While epigenetic and splicing changes have been implicated in EMT, the mechanisms governing their crosstalk remain poorly understood. Here, we identify C2H2 zinc finger protein, ZNF827, a novel factor, is strongly induced during important EMT mediated processes including in brain development and breast cancer metastasis and is required for the molecular and phenotypic changes underlying EMT in these processes. Mechanistically, ZNF827 mediated these responses by orchestrating a large-scale remodeling of the splicing landscape by recruiting HDAC1 for epigenetic modulation of distinct genomic loci, thereby slowing RNA Pol II progression and altering the splicing of transcripts encoding key EMT regulators in cis. These findings reveal an unprecedented complexity between epigenetic landscape and splicing and identifies ZNF827 as a master regulator coupling these processes during EMT in brain development and breast cancer metastasis.

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.

AKAP8 inhibits tumor metastasis by antagonizing EMT-associated RNA alternative splicing

Project description:Tumor metastasis is the most lethal attribute of breast cancer, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in this process. Alternative splicing has been shown to causally contribute to EMT; however, the scope of critical splicing events and the regulatory network of splicing factors that govern them remain largely unexplored. Here we report the identification of A-Kinase Anchor Protein (AKAP8) as an EMT splicing regulatory factor that impedes EMT and breast cancer metastasis. AKAP8 not only is capable of inhibiting splicing activity of the EMT-promoting splicing regulator hnRNPM through protein-protein interaction, it also binds to RNA directly and alters splicing outcomes. Genome-wide analysis revealed that AKAP8-mediated splicing events, specifically in epithelial cells, are reversely regulated during EMT, suggesting that AKAP8 maintains an epithelial cell-state splicing program. Experimental manipulation of a newly identified AKAP8 splicing target calsyntenin-1 (CLSTN1) revealed that splice isoform switching of CLSTN1 is crucial for EMT. Mining breast cancer patient data supports the experimental findings and AKAP8 expression and the alternative splicing of CLSTN1 predict patient survival. Our work demonstrates the essentiality of RNA metabolism that impinges on metastatic breast cancer.

ZNF827-dependent splicing dynamics are critical for EMT during development and disease [RNA-seq]

Project description:Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a multi-step process during which epithelial cells become mesenchymal stem cells. EMT is involved during embryonic development, wound healing, fibrosis and tumor metastasis. Here we show that ZNF827, a C2H2-zinc finger containing protein, is critical for molecular and phenotypic changes underlying EMT. We demonstrate that ZNF827 depletion suppresses tumor metastasis and cortical neurogenesis in vivo by impairing EMT. Further analysis showed that ZNF827 is critical for global alternative splicing (AS) during EMT. We further reveal that ZNF827 interacts with various components of core splicing machinery and directly binds DNA. ZNF827 depletion leads to alteration of epigenetic landscape at its target genomic region which might be important for alternative splicing of these target genes. Our findings established ZNF827 as a novel regulator of AS during development and disease contexts of EMT.

Sox4 is a master regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by controlling Ezh2 expression and epigenetic reprogramming

Project description:Gene expression profiling has uncovered the transcription factor Sox4 with up-regulated activity during TGFÎ²-induced EMT in normal and cancerous breast epithelial cells. Sox4 is indispensable for EMT and cell survival in vitro and for primary tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Among several EMT-relevant genes, Sox4 directly regulates the expression of Ezh2, encoding the Polycomb group histone methyltransferase that trimethylates histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) for gene repression. Ablation of Ezh2 expression prevents EMT, while forced expression of Ezh2 restores EMT in Sox4-deficient cells. Ezh2-mediated H3K27me3 marks associate with key EMT genes, representing an epigenetic EMT signature that predicts patient survival. Our results identify Sox4 as a master regulator of EMT by governing the expression of the epigenetic modifier Ezh2. Our Dataset comprises of 12 ChIP-seq samples using chromatin from NMuMG cells which was immunoprecipitated using H3K27me3-specific antibody during TGFÎ²-induced EMT (2ng/ml) at 6 different stages (day 0, 1, 4, 7, 10, 20).

Dependency of NELF-E-KAT2B epigenetic axis in breast cancer carcinogenesis

Project description:Cancer cells undergo transcriptional reprogramming to drive tumor progression and metastasis. Here, we identified the transcriptional complex, NELF (Negative elongation factor), as an important regulator of this process. Using cancer cell lines and patient-derived tumor organoids, we demonstrated that loss of NELF inhibits breast cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis. Specifically, we found that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness-associated genes are downregulated in NELF-depleted breast cancer cells. Quantitative Multiplexed Rapid Immunoprecipitation Mass spectrometry of Endogenous proteins (qPLEX-RIME) of NELF-E, a key subunit of NELF, reveals significant rewiring of NELF-E-associated chromatin partners as a function of EMT, and further illuminates a co-option of NELF-E with the key EMT transcription factor SLUG. Accordingly, loss of NELF-E led to impaired SLUG binding on chromatin. Through integrative transcriptomic and genomic analyses, we identified the histone acetyltransferase, KAT2B, as a key functional target of NELF-E-SLUG. Genetic and pharmacological inactivation of KAT2B ameliorate expression of critical EMT marker genes, phenocopying NELF ablation. Elevated NELF-E and KAT2B expressions are associated with poorer prognosis in breast cancer patients, highlighting the clinical relevance of our findings. Importantly, KAT2B knockout mice are viable, raising the exciting prospect of targeting this dependency therapeutically. Taken together, we uncovered a crucial role of the NELF-E-KAT2B epigenetic axis in breast cancer carcinogenesis.

CdGAP is a Talin-binding protein and a target of TGF-β signaling that promotes HER2-positive breast cancer growth and metastasis

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a crucial role in metastasis, which is the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. We show that Cdc42 GTPase-activating protein (CdGAP) promotes tumor formation and metastasis to lungs in the HER2-positive (HER2+) murine breast cancer model. CdGAP facilitates intravasation, extravasation, and growth at metastatic sites. CdGAP depletion in HER2+ murine primary tumors mediates crosstalk with a Dlc1-RhoA pathway and is associated with a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced EMT transcriptional signature. To further delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying the pro-migratory role of CdGAP in breast cancer cells, we searched for CdGAP interactors by performing a proteomic analysis using HEK293 cells overexpressing GFP-CdGAP. We found that CdGAP interacts with the adaptor Talin to modulate focal adhesion dynamics and integrin activation. Moreover, HER2+ breast cancer patients with high CdGAP mRNA expression combined with a high TGF-β-EMT signature are more likely to present lymph node invasion. Our results suggest CdGAP as a candidate therapeutic target for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer by inhibiting TGF-β and Integrin/Talin signaling pathways.

An EMT-driven alternative splicing program occurs in human breast cancer and modulates cellular phenotype.

Project description:Regulation of cell-cell junction formation and regulation of cell migration were enriched among EMT (Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition)-associated alternatively splicing events. Our analysis suggested that most EMT-associated alternative splicing events are regulated by one or more members of the RBFOX, MBNL, CELF, hnRNP or ESRP classes of splicing factors. The EMT alternative splicing signature was confirmed in human breast cancer cell lines, which could be classified into basal and luminal subtypes based exclusively on their EMTassociated splicing pattern. Expression of EMT-associated alternative mRNA transcripts was also observed in primary breast cancer samples, indicating that EMT-dependent splicing changes occur commonly in human tumors. The functional significance of EMT-associated alternative splicing was tested by expression of the epithelial-specific splicing factor ESRP1 or depletion of RBFOX2 in mesenchymal cells, both of which elicited significant changes in cell morphology and motility towards an epithelial phenotype, suggesting that splicing regulation alone can drive critical aspects of EMT-associated phenotypic changes. The molecular description obtained here may aid in the development of new diagnostic and prognostic markers for analysis of breast cancer progression.
