MMP-9 drives melanomagenic transcription program through histone H3 tail proteolysis

ABSTRACT: Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops in pigment-producing melanocytes and often spreads to other parts of the body. Aberrant gene expression has been considered as a crucial step for increasing the risk of melanomagenesis, but how chromatin reorganization contributes to this pathogenic process is still not well understood. Here we report that matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) localizes to the nucleus of melanoma cells and potentiates gene expression by proteolytically clipping histone H3 N-terminal tail (H3NT). From genome-wide studies, we discovered that growth regulatory genes are selectively targeted and activated by MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis in melanoma cells. MMP-9 cooperates functionally with p300/CBP, because MMP-9 cleaves H3NT in a manner that is dependent on p300/CBP-mediated acetylation of H3K18. The functional significance of MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis is further underscored by the fact that RNAi knockdown and small-molecule inhibition of MMP-9 and p300/CBP impede melanomagenic gene expression and melanoma tumor growth. Together, our data establish new functions and mechanisms for nuclear MMP-9 in promoting melanomagenesis and demonstrate how MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis can be exploited to prevent and treat melanoma skin cancer.

MMP-9-dependent proteolysis of the histone H3 N-terminal tail, a critical epigenetic step in driving oncogenic transcription and colon tumorigenesis

Project description:The matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is a member of the MMP family and has been recently identified as a nuclear protease capable of clipping histone H3 N-terminal tails (H3NT). This MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis is critical for establishing active state of gene transcription during osteoclast differentiation and melanoma development. However, whether H3NT cleavage by MMP-9 plays a similar role in other cellular events has not been explored. Here we dissect the functional contribution of MMP-9-dependent H3NT clipping to colonic tumorigenesis by using a combination of genome-wide transcriptome data, ChIP/ChIPac-qPCR, CRISPR/dCas9 gene-targeting system, and in vivo xenograft models. We show that MMP-9 is overexpressed in colon cancer cells and catalyzes H3NT proteolysis to drive transcriptional activation of growth stimulatory genes. Our studies using knockdown and inhibition approaches clearly indicate that MMP-9 mediates transcriptional activation and promote colonic tumorigenesis in a manner dependent on its protease activity toward H3NT. Remarkably, artificial H3NT proteolysis at target gene promoters with dCAS9-MMP-9 is sufficient for establishing their transcriptional competence in colon cancer cells, underscoring the importance of MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis per se in transactivation process. Our data establish new functions and mechanisms for MMP-9 in driving oncogenic transcription program in colon cancer through H3NT proteolysis and demonstrate how this epigenetic pathway can be exploited as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

Targeted proteolysis of the histone H3 tail facilitates epigenetic reprogramming during differentiation

Project description:Though limited proteolysis of the histone H3 N-terminal tail (H3NT) is frequently observed during mammalian differentiation, however the specific genomic sites targeted for H3NT proteolysis and their functional significance of H3NT cleavage remain unknown.We used genome wide Chip-seq (ChIPac-Seq) approaches to an established cell model of osteoclast differentiation. We discovered that H3NT proteolysis is selectively targeted near transcription start sites of a small group of genes and that most of these H3NT-cleaved genes are epigenetically regulated during osteoclastogenesis.We also discovered that the principal H3NT protease of osteoclastogenesis is matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9).Abrogation of H3NT proteolysis impaired osteoclastogenic gene activation concomitant with defective osteoclast differentiation. In summary our results support the necessity of MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis in the epigenetic reprogramming of gene pathways required for proficient osteoclastogenesis.

Time-resolved analysis reveals rapid dynamics and broad scope of the CBP/p300 acetylome

Project description:The acetyltransferases CBP and p300 are multifunctional transcriptional co-activators; however, their acetylation targets, site-specific acetylation kinetics, and function in proteome regulation are incompletely understood. We combined quantitative proteomics with novel CBP/p300-specific catalytic inhibitors, bromodomain inhibitor, and gene knockout to show that CBP/p300 acetylates thousands of sites, including signature histone sites, as well as a multitude of sites on signaling effectors and enhancer-associated transcriptional regulators. Kinetic analysis identified a subset of CBP/p300-regulated sites with very rapid (<30min) acetylation turnover, revealing a dynamic balance between acetylation and deacetylation. Quantification of acetylation, mRNA, and protein abundance after CBP/p300 inhibition reveals a kinetically competent network of gene expression that strictly depends on CBP/p300-catalyzed rapid acetylation. Collectively, our in-depth acetylome analyses reveal systems attributes of CBP/p300 targets, and the resource dataset provides a framework for investigating CBP/p300 functions, as well as for understanding the impact of small molecule inhibitors targeting its catalytic and bromodomain activities.

Epigenetic mechanisms to propagate histone acetylation by p300/CBP

Project description:Histone acetylation is important for the activation of gene transcription but little is known about its direct ‘read/write’ mechanisms. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy structures in which a p300/CBP multidomain monomer recognizes histone H4 N-terminal tail (NT) acetylation (ac) in a nucleosome and acetylates non-H4 histone NTs within the same nucleosome. p300/CBP not only recognized H4NTac via the bromodomain pocket responsible for ‘reading’, but also interacted with the DNA minor grooves via the outside of that pocket. This directed the catalytic center of p300/CBP to one of the non-H4 histone NTs. The primary target that p300 ‘writes’ by ‘reading’ H4NTac was H2BNT, and H2BNTac promoted H2A-H2B dissociation from the nucleosome. We propose a model in which p300/CBP ‘replicates’ histone NT acetylation within the H3-H4 tetramer to inherit epigenetic storage, and ‘transcribes’ it from the H3-H4 tetramer to the H2B-H2A dimers to activate context-dependent gene transcription through local nucleosome destabilization.

Two Histone/Protein Acetyltransferases, CBP and p300, Are Indispensable for Foxp3+ T-regulatory Cell Development and Function

Project description:T-regulatory (Treg) cells are important to immune homeostasis, and Treg cell deficiency or dysfunction leads to autoimmune disease. An histone/protein acetyltransferase (HAT), p300, was recently found important for Treg function and stability, but further insights into the mechanisms by which p300 or other HATs affect Treg biology are needed. Here we show that CBP, a p300 paralog, is also important in controlling Treg function and stability. Thus, while mice with Treg-specific deletion of CBP or p300 developed minimal autoimmune disease, the combined deletion of CBP and p300 led to fatal autoimmunity by 3-4 weeks of age. The effects of CBP and p300 deletion on Treg development are dose-dependent, and involve multiple mechanisms. CBP and p300 cooperate with several key Treg transcription factors that act on the Foxp3 promoter to promote Foxp3 production. CBP and p300 also act on the Foxp3 CNS2 region to maintain Treg stability in inflammatory environments by regulating pCREB function and GATA3 expression, respectively. Lastly, CBP and p300 regulate the epigenetic status and function of Foxp3. Our findings provide insights into how HATs orchestrate multiple aspects of Treg development and function, and identify overlapping but also discrete activities for p300 and CBP in control of Treg cells.

MITF Expression Predicts Therapeutic Vulnerability to p300 Inhibition in Human Melanoma

Project description:Histone modifications, largely regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been recognized as major regulatory mechanisms governing human diseases including cancer. Despite significant effort and recent advances, the mechanism by which the p300 transcriptional coactivator mediates tumorigenesis remains unclear. Here, we use a genetic and chemical approach to identify the Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) as a critical downstream target of p300 driving human melanoma growth. We find that direct transcriptional control of MITF by p300-dependent histone acetylation within proximal gene regulatory regions is coupled to cellular proliferation, suggesting a significant growth regulatory axis. Further analysis revealed Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) as a key effector of the p300-MITF axis driving cell growth, which is selectively activated in human melanomas. Targeted chemical inhibition of p300 histone acetyltransferase activity using a potent and selective catalytic p300/CBP inhibitor confirmed the critical role of the p300-MITF-FOXM1 axis in melanoma and demonstrated significant growth inhibitory effects in melanoma cells expressing high levels of MITF. These data support p300 as a promising novel epigenetic therapeutic target in human melanoma.
