β-catenin activity induces an RNA biosynthesis program promoting therapy resistance in T Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

ABSTRACT: Understanding the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the appearance of chemotherapy resistant cell populations is necessary to improve cancer treatment. We have now investigated the role of β-catenin/CTNNB1 in the evolution of T-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) patients and its involvement in therapy resistance. We have identified a specific gene signature that is directly regulated by β-catenin, TCF/LEF factors and ZBTB33/Kaiso in T-ALL cell lines, which is highly and significantly represented in 5 out of 6 refractory patients from a cohort of 40 children with T-ALL. By subsequent refinement of this gene signature, we found that a subset of β-catenin target genes involved with RNA-processing function are sufficient to segregate T-ALL refractory patients in three independent cohorts. We demonstrate the implication of β-catenin in RNA and protein synthesis in T-ALL and provide in vitro and in vivo experimental evidence that β-catenin is crucial for the cellular response to chemotherapy, mainly in the cellular recovery phase after treatment. We propose that combination treatments involving chemotherapy plus β-catenin inhibitors will enhance chemotherapy response and prevent disease relapse in T-ALL patients.

ChIP-Sequencing experiment for N1IC and β-Catenin in Jurkat T-ALL cells.

Project description:Notch activation is instrumental in the development of most T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cases, yet Notch mutations alone are not sufficient to recapitulate the full human disease in animal models. Using multiple in vivo and in vitro T-ALL models we here demonstrate that β-Catenin is essential for Notch-driven T-cell leukemic initiation. Transcriptome analyses of leukemic initiating cells revealed a switch in β-Catenin activity that was Notch-context dependent. Moreover, ChIP-seq coupled with RNA-Seq in human Notch-active T-ALL showed that leukemic β-Catenin was independent of canonical LEF/TCF partners, and instead depended on direct association with Notch or ZBTB33/Kaiso for gene activation. The functional relevance of this mechanism is exemplified by the MYC 3´enhancer that requires β-Catenin and Notch1 recruitment to induce MYC expression. Finally, we demonstrate that pharmacological inhibition of β-Catenin with PKF115-584 prevented and partially reverted leukemogenesis induced by active Notch1.

TCF/LEF dependent and independent regulation of Wnt/beta-catenin transcription

Project description:During canonical Wnt signalling the activity of nuclear beta-catenin is largely mediated by the TCF/LEF family of transcription factors. To challenge this view we used the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing approach to generate HEK 293T cell clones simultaneously carrying loss-of-function alleles of all four TCF/LEF genes. Exploiting unbiased whole transcriptome sequencing studies, we found that a subset of beta-catenin transcriptional targets did not require TCF/LEF factors for their regulation. Consistent with this finding, we observed in a genome-wide analysis that beta-catenin occupied specific genomic regions in the absence of TCF/LEF. Finally, we revealed the existence of a transcriptional activity of beta-catenin that specifically appears when TCF/LEF factors are absent, and refer to this as beta-catenin-GHOST response. Collectively, this study uncovers a previously neglected modus operandi of beta-catenin that bypasses the TCF/LEF transcription factors.

Cell-line-specific gene expression changes following inactivation of the CTNNB1 gene in human colorectal cancer cell lines

Project description:Unrestrained transcriptional activity of β-CATENIN and its binding partner TCF7L2 frequently underlies colorectal tumor initiation and is considered an obligatory oncogenic driver throughout intestinal carcinogenesis. Yet, the TCF7L2 gene carries inactivating mutations in about 10 % of colorectal tumors and is non-essential in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. To determine whether CRC cells acquire TCF7L2-independence through cancer-specific compensation by other T-cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer‑binding factor (LEF) family members, or rather lose addiction to β-CATENIN/TCF7L2-driven gene expression altogether, we generated multiple CRC cell lines entirely negative for TCF/LEF or β-CATENIN expression. Viability of these cells demonstrates complete β‑CATENIN- and TCF/LEF-independence, albeit one β-CATENIN-deficient cell line eventually became senescent. Absence of TCF/LEF proteins and β-CATENIN consistently impaired CRC cell proliferation, reminiscent of mitogenic effects of WNT/β-CATENIN signaling in the healthy intestine. Despite this common phenotype, β-CATENIN-deficient cells exhibited highly cell-line-specific gene expression changes with little overlap between β-CATENIN- and TCF7L2-dependent transcriptomes. Apparently, β‑CATENIN and TCF7L2 control sizeable fractions of their target genes independently from each other. The observed divergence of β-CATENIN and TCF7L2 transcriptional programs, and the finding that neither β-CATENIN nor TCF/LEF activity is strictly required for CRC cell survival has important implications when evaluating these factors as potential drug targets.

A β-catenin-regulated RNA processing transcriptional program imposes chemotherapy resistance and predicts T-ALL patient survival associated with high BRCA1 levels [RNA-Seq]

Project description:De novo acquisition or subclonal selection of chemotherapy resistant cell populations are at the base of relapse in cancer. We have now investigated the role of ß-catenin in the evolution of T-ALL patients. We identified an RNA-processing signature that is directly regulated by ß-catenin in T-ALL cell lines. This signature was sufficient to identify T-ALL patients with poorest prognosis, together with high ß-catenin levels in an outdated discovery cohort with high incidence of refractory patients. In an independent validation cohort of T-ALL patients treated with current protocols and a 5-years survival >90%, neither ß-catenin-dependent signatures nor ß-catenin mRNA levels were predictive of patient outcome. However, further analysis of data demonstrated the prognosis value of the ß-catenin RNA-processing signature specifically in tumors carrying high BRCA1 levels. Finally, we show that both ß-catenin and BRCA1 enhanced the recovery of T-ALL cells after chemotherapy thus providing a mechanistic explanation for the prognosis value of ß-catenin and BRCA1.

Multiple regulatory intrinsically disordered motifs control FOXO4 transcription factor binding and function

Project description:Transcription factors harbour defined intrinsically disordered regulatory regions, which raises the question of how they mediate binding to structured co-regulators and how this regulates activity. Here, we present a detailed molecular regulatory mechanism of Forkhead box O4 (FOXO4) by the structured transcriptional co-regulator β-catenin. We find that the largely disordered FOXO4 C-terminal region, which contains its transactivation domain binds β-catenin through two defined interaction sites, and this is regulated by combined PKB/AKT- and CK1-mediated phosphorylation. Binding of β-catenin competes with the auto-inhibitory interaction of the FOXO4 disordered region with its DNA-binding forkhead domain, and thereby enhances FOXO4 transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we show that binding of the β-catenin inhibitor protein ICAT is compatible with FOXO4 binding to β-catenin, suggesting that ICAT acts as a molecular switch between anti-proliferative FOXO and pro-proliferative Wnt/TCF/LEF signalling. Together these data illustrate how the interplay of intrinsically disordered regions, post-translational modifications and co-factor binding contribute to transcription factor function. Highlights • The interaction network between FOXO4 and β-catenin was deciphered • FOXO4 auto-inhibition interferes with DNA binding and is counter-acted by β-catenin • FOXO4 exists in multiple conformations regulated by phosphorylation and co-factors • ICAT switches between FOXO4 and TCF/LEF transcription factors
