Oncofetal protein IGF2BP1 regulates IQGAP3 expression to maintain stem cell potential in cancer [RIP-Seq]


ABSTRACT: We reported earlier that IQGAP3 is an important stem cell factor in rapidly proliferating isthmus stem cells in the stomach. Furthermore, we observed robust induction of IQGAP3 expression in terminally differentiated chief cells and de-differentiated cells following tissue damage. The elevated expression of IQGAP3 in cancer and its association with metastasis suggest a fundamental role for IQGAP3 in proliferating cancer stem cells. What causes the upregulation of IQGAP3 in cancer is unclear. Here, we show that IGF2BP1 and IQGAP3 expression levels are highest in the blastocyst, with both showing decreases during adulthood. This suggests that IQGAP3, like IGF2BP1, is an early developmental gene that is aberrantly upregulated upon reexpression of IGF2BP1 during carcinogenesis. We found that IGF2BP1 binds and stabilizes m 6 A-modified IQGAP3 transcripts. Furthermore, downstream targets of IGF2BP1, namely SRF and FOXM1, also upregulate IQGAP3 expression. These multiple layers of IQGAP3 regulation, which may safeguard against inappropriate stem cell proliferation, present additional drug targets to inhibit IQGAP3-driven malignant growth.
