WNT-driven PRMT1 Nuclear Localization Generates Synthetic Lethality in Colorectal Cancers

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises from multi-step accumulation of genetic and epigenetic mutations that deregulate intestinal homeostasis leading to neoplastic transformation and metastases. Constitutive activation of WNT signaling is considered the initial driver oncogenic event to which CRCs remain addicted, also in their most aggressive metastatic forms. WNT activation provokes an aberrant signaling that converges into the nucleus where transcription and chromatin-remodeling factors cooperate to regulate cell identity. This leads to deregulated proliferation, block of differentiation and evasion from cell death pathways. We found that the protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is synthetic lethal with WNT oncogenic activation in both genetically-defined mouse models and patient-derived metastatic CRC organoids. WNT activation regulates the subcellular localization of PRMT1, inducing its complete nuclear translocation. This makes CRCs specifically dependent on PRMT1 enzymatic activity to sustain WNT-dependent proliferation regardless of the mutational landscape carried by distinct patients. Together these data uncover a new molecular crosstalk between WNT activation and PRMT1 activity and place PRMT1 inhibition as a potential strategy to counteract CRC addiction to WNT oncogenic activation.

Targeting epigenetic networks mediated by Prmt1 and Kdm4c in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Transcriptional deregulation plays a major role in acute myeloid leukemia, identification of epigenetic modifying enzymes essential for the maintenance of oncogenic transcription programs holds the key to better understanding the biology and designing effective therapeutic strategies for the disease. Here we provide experimental evidence showing the functional involvement and therapeutic potentials of targeting PRMT1 with H4R3 methyltransferase activity in various MLL and non-MLL leukemias. PRMT1 is necessary but not sufficient for leukemic transformation, which requires co-recruitment of KDM4C with H3K9 demethylase activity by chimeric transcription factors to mediate epigenetic reprogramming. Inhibition of KDM4C/PRMT1 suppresses transcription and transformation ability of MLL fusions and MOZ-TIF2, revealing a novel and targetable epigenetic circuitry mediated by PRMT1 and KDM4C in acute leukemia.

USP7 is a tumor-specific WNT activator for APC-mutated colorectal cancer by mediating B-catenin deu

Project description:The tumor suppressor gene adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is mutated in most colorectal cancers (CRC) resulting in constitutive Wnt activation. To understand the Wnt-activating mechanism of APC mutation, we applied CRISPR/Cas9 technology to engineer various APC-truncated isogenic lines. We find that the β-catenin inhibitory domain (CID) in APC represents the threshold for pathological levels of Wnt activation and tumor transformation. Mechanistically, CID-deleted APC truncation promotes β-catenin deubiquitination through reverse binding of β-TrCP and USP7 to the destruction complex. USP7 depletion in APC-mutated CRC inhibits Wnt activation by restoring β-catenin ubiquitination, drives differentiation and suppresses xenograft tumor growth. Finally, the Wnt-activating role of USP7 is specific to APC mutations, thus can be used as tumor-specific therapeutic target for most CRCs.

Multi-omics of colon tumor progression organoids reveals putative mediators of colorectal cancer metastasis

Project description:The development of metastasis severely reduces the life expectancy of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Loss of SMAD4 is a key event in late-stage CRC resulting in the progression to metastatic CRC in 10-30% of the cases. However, the biological processes and underlying molecular mechanisms that it affects are not fully understood. Here, we applied a multi-omics approach to a CRC tumor progression organoid model that faithfully reflects the metastasis-inducing effects of SMAD4 inactivation. We show that loss of SMAD4 results in loss of differentiation and activation of pro-migratory and cell proliferation processes, which is accompanied by the disruption of several key oncogenic pathways, including the TGFB, WNT, and VEGF pathways. In addition, SMAD4 inactivation leads to increased secretion of proteins that are known to be involved in a variety of pro-metastatic processes. Finally, we show that one of the factors that is specifically secreted by metastatic organoids – DKK3 – reduces the anti-tumor effects of natural killer cells (NKCs). Altogether, our data provides promising new targets concerning the role of SMAD4 perturbation and metastatic disease in CRC.

Toxoplasma gondii arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) regulates parasite counting during tachyzoite cell division

Project description:PRMT1 is thought to be responsible for the majority of PRMT activity in Toxoplasma gondii, but its exact function is unknown. We generated T. gondii mutants lacking PRMT1 (∆prmt1) by deletion of the PRMT1 gene. ∆prmt1 parasites exhibit morphological defects during cell division and grow slowly, and this phenotype reverses in the complemented strain ∆prmt::PRMT1mRFP. PRMT1 localizes primarily in the cytoplasm with enrichment at the centrosome, and the strain lacking PRMT1 is unable to segregate progeny accurately. Unlike wild-type and complemented parasites, ∆prmt1 parasites have abnormal daughter buds, perturbed centrosome stoichiometry, and loss of synchronous replication. Whole genome expression profiling demonstrated differences in expression of cell cycle regulated genes in ∆prmt1 relative to the complemented ∆prmt1::PRMT1mRFP and parental wild-type strains, but these changes did not correlate with a specific block in cell cycle. Although PRMT1’s primary biological function was previously proposed to be methylation of histones, our genetic studies suggest that the most critical function of PRMT1 is within the centrosome as a regulator of daughter cell counting to assure the proper replication of the parasite. RNA samples were isolated in triplicates from RH-hxgprt parent strain (W), PRMT1 knockout (K) strain and PRMT1 knockout strain complemented with RFP-tagged PRMT1 protein (C). Parasites were grown for 32h at 37C. Samples were hybridized to the Toxoplasma gondii Affymetrix microarray (ToxoGeneChip: http://ancillary.toxodb.org/docs/Array-Tutorial.html). Hybridization data was preprocessed with Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) and normalized using per chip and per gene median polishing and analyzed using the software package GeneSpring GX (Agilent Technologies).

Targeting PRMT1-mediated SRSF1 Methylation to Suppress Exon Inclusion within Oncogenic Transcripts and Breast Tumorigenesis

Project description:PRMT1 is highly expressed in breast tumors, and has been suggested to play a vital role in breast tumorigenesis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be fully characterized. Here, we reveal that PRMT1 exhibits a wide-spreading role in RNA alternative splicing based on transcriptome analysis, with a preference for exon inclusion in a large cohort of oncogenic genes. Profiling PRMT1 methylome reveals that the arginine/serine-rich splicing factor SRSF1 is heavily arginine-methylated by PRMT1, which is critical for SRSF1 phosphorylation, SRSF1 binding with RNA, and PRMT1-induced exon inclusion. In breast tumors, the overexpression of PRMT1 is associated with high levels of SRSF1 arginine methylation and aberrant exon inclusion in those oncogenic genes. Accordingly, PRMT1-mediated SRSF1 methylation and exon inclusion events are found to be critical for the malignant behaviors of breast cancer cells. Furthermore, we identified and characterized a selective PRMT1 inhibitor iPRMT1, which is potent in inhibiting PRMT1-mediated SRSF1 methylation and exon inclusion events, and breast cancer cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Combination treatment with iPRMT1 and inhibitor targeting SRSF1 phosphorylation, SPHINX31 or SRPIN340, exhibits synergistic effects on suppressing breast cancer cell growth, strengthening the cross-talk between arginine methylation and phosphorylation in SRSF1. In conclusion, our data uncover a key mechanism underlying PRMT1-mediated gene alternative splicing, demonstrating targeting PRMT1 has great potential to treat breast cancer in clinic.

Human colon organoids reveal distinct physiologic and oncogenic Wnt responses

Project description:Constitutive Wnt activation upon loss of Adenoma polyposis coli (APC) acts as main driver of colorectal cancers (CRC). Targeting Wnt signaling has proven difficult because the pathway is crucial for homeostasis and stem cell renewal. To distinguish oncogenic from physiologic Wnt activity, we have performed transcriptome and proteome profiling in isogenic human colon organoids. Culture in the presence or absence of exogenous ligand allowed us to discriminate receptor-mediated signaling from the effects of CRISPR/Cas9 induced APC loss. We could catalogue two non-overlapping molecular signatures that were stable at distinct levels of stimulation. Newly identified markers for normal stem/progenitor cells and adenomas were validated by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. We found that oncogenic Wnt signals are associated with good prognosis in tumors of the consensus molecular subtype 2 (CMS2). In contrast, receptor-mediated signaling was linked to CMS4 tumors and poor prognosis. Together, our data represent a valuable resource for biomarkers that allow more precise stratification of Wnt responses in CRC.

PRMT1 suppresses anti-tumor immunity

Project description:PRMT1 is known as a regulator of immune function by directly interacting with interferon receptors, methylating STAT1, and promoting B cell and macrophage differentiation by methylating CDK4 or B cell antigen receptor However, the function of PRMT1 as a therapeutic target of cancer remains largely elusive, particularly for its role in cancer immunosurveillance. Here, we performed bulk RNA-seq for CT26, a mouse tumor cell line, after either knocking down of endogeneous Prmt1 or blocking PRMT1 by two specific inhibitors, namely MS023 and GSK3368715.

Synthetical lethality of Werner helicase and mismatch repair deficiency is mediated by p53 and PUMA in colon cancer

Project description:Synthetic lethality is a powerful approach for targeting oncogenic drivers in cancer. Recent studies revealed that cancer cells with microsatellite instability (MSI) require Werner (WRN) helicase for survival; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we found that WRN depletion strongly induced p53 and its downstream apoptotic target PUMA in MSI colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. p53 or PUMA deletion abolished apoptosis induced by WRN depletion in MSI CRC cells. Importantly, correction of MSI abrogated the activation of p53/PUMA and cell killing, while induction of MSI led to sensitivity in isogenic CRC cells. Rare p53-mutant MSI CRC cells are resistant to WRN depletion due to lack of PUMA induction, which could be restored by wildtype p53 knock-in or reconstitution. WRN depletion or treatment with the RecQ helicase inhibitor ML216 suppressed in vitro and in vivo growth of MSI CRCs in a p53/PUMA_x0002_dependent manner. ML216 treatment was efficacious in MSI CRC patient-derived xenografts (PDX). Interestingly, p53 gene remains wildtype in the majority of MSI CRCs. These results indicate a critical role of p53/PUMA-mediated apoptosis in the vulnerability of MSI CRCs to WRN loss, and support WRN as a promising therapeutic target in p53-wildtype MSI CRCs.
