MYC S146L is a context-dependent activating substitution in cancer development [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: MYC is one of the most dysregulated oncogenes and is thought to be fundamental to tumor formation and/or maintenance in many cancer types. This dominant pro-tumor activity makes MYC an attractive target for cancer therapy. However, MYC is a transcription factor lacking enzymatic activity, and the structure of one of its two domains is unknown e.g., its transactivation domain. Consequently, few direct MYC-targeting therapies have been developed, and none have been successful in the clinic. Nevertheless, significant effort has been devoted to understanding the mechanisms of oncogenic MYC activity with the objective of uncovering novel vulnerabilities of MYC-dependent cancers. These extensive investigations have revealed in detail how MYC translocation, amplification, and other upstream perturbations contribute to MYC activity in cancer. However, missense mutations of the MYC gene have remained relatively understudied for their potential role in MYC-mediated oncogenesis. While the function of several low-frequency mutations in MYC have been described, our understanding of other equally or more frequent mutations is incomplete. Herein, we define the function of a recurrent missense mutation in MYC resulting in the substitution S146L. This mutation reinforces the interaction between MYC and its cofactor TRRAP and may enhance oncogenic MYC activity in certain cellular contexts. Implication: our results fortify the mechanistic understanding of oncogenic MYC and may indicate a novel prognostic marker for patients whose tumors harbor the somatic mutation resulting in MYC S146L.

Expression data from c-Myc+ Notch1 T-ALL initiating cells

Project description:Missense FBXW7 mutations are prevalent in various tumors, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). To study the effects of such lesions, we generated animals carrying regulatable Fbxw7 mutant alleles. We show here that these mutations specifically bolster cancer-initiating cell activity in collaboration with Notch1 oncogenes, but spare normal hematopoietic stem cell function. We were also able to show that FBXW7 mutations specifically affect the ubiquitylation and half-life of c-Myc protein, a key T-ALL oncogene. Using animals carrying c-Myc fusion alleles, we connected Fbxw7 function to c-Myc abundance and correlated c-Myc expression to leukemia-initiating activity. Three independent Notch1 T-ALL were derived on c-Myc-GFP background and sorted from the spleen of leukemic mice on the basis of GFP expression for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays

A CHD8-TRRAP axis facilitates MYC and E2F target gene regulation in human neural stem cells. [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Mutations in ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler CHD8 cause one of the most frequent monogenetic forms of autism and is associated with brain overgrowth. Nevertheless, the activities of CHD8 in autism-relevant cell types are still poorly understood. Here, we purify the CHD8 protein from human neural stem cells and determine its interaction partners using mass spectrometry. We identify the TRRAP complex, a coactivator of MYC and E2F transcription factors, as a prominent CHD8 interaction partner. CHD8 colocalizes genome-wide with TRRAP and bind together at MYC and E2F target gene promoters in human neural stem cells. Depletion of CHD8 or TRRAP in human neural stem cells shows downregulation of MYC and E2F target genes as the most prominent gene-regulatory events. MYC and E2F transcription factors are established oncogenes known to regulate cell growth. Our results link CHD8 to TRRAP and suggest they act together in facilitating the regulation of MYC and E2F target genes in neural stem cells.

Oncogenic potential of RAS isoforms in melanocytes

Project description:We compared the transformation efficiencies of mutant NRAS and KRAS in immortal, non-transformed Ink4a/Arf-deficient melanocytes. NRAS mutation leads to increased cellular proliferation and is potently tumorigenic. In contrast, KRAS mutation does not enhance melanocyte proliferation and is only weakly tumorigenic on its own. While both NRAS and KRAS activate MAPK signaling, only NRAS enhances MYC activity in these cells. Our data suggests that the activity of specific RAS isoforms is context dependent and provides a possible explanation for the prevalence of NRAS mutations in melanoma.In addition, understanding this mechanism will have important implications for cancer therapies targeting RAS pathways.

Secretome analysis of human A549 Lung cancer cells harboring LKB1 mutations.

Project description:STK11 (LKB1) missense somatic mutant isoforms promote tumor growth, motility and inflammation. Elucidating the contribution of somatic mutations to cancer is essential for personalized medicine. STK11 (LKB1) tumor suppressor appears to be inactivated in human cancer, however, somatic missense mutations also occur. Despite of our increased knowledge about LKB1 function, the role/s of these alterations in cancer are mostly unknown. Here, we investigated the contribution of four missense LKB1 somatic mutations in tumor biology. Three, out of the four mutants, lost their tumor suppressor capabilities and showed a deficient kinase activity. The remaining mutant conserved the enzymatic activity, but conferred an increased cell motility. Mechanistically, LKB1 mutants promoted the differential gene expression regulation of vesicle trafficking regulating molecules, adhesion molecules and cytokines, that correlated with the identified protein networks associated to the comparative secretome analysis. Notably, three mutant isoforms promoted tumor growth, and one of them induced inflammation and hemorrhagic tumors that correlated with the deregulated levels of cytokines. Altogether, our findings uncover oncogenic roles of LKB1 somatic mutations helping to understand their contribution to cancer.

Genome-wide analysis of differentially expressed genes in Fbw7 mutant cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:Fbw7 is one of the most highly mutated tumor suppressor genes in human cancers. Several Fbw7 mutation types have been found in cancers (e.g. Fbw7Arg/+, other missense mutations and Fbw7-/-). Fbw7Arg/+ missense mutation is the most commonly observed mutation type, however the tumorigenic mechanisms led by Fbw7Arg/+ are as of yet poorly understood. Fbw7 targets almost thirty proteins to degradation, out of many are transcription factors. We performed an integrative study to understand global transcriptional regulation by Fbw7. We investigated the deregulation of two well-studied oncogenic Fbw7 substrates: cMyc and cJun in wild-type and Fbw7 mutant colorectal cancer cell lines and neural stem cells. Our study revealed context-specific transcriptional regulation by Fbw7.

The TRRAP transcription cofactor represses interferon-stimulated genes in colorectal cancer cells II

Project description:Transcription is essential for cells to respond to signaling cues and involves factors with multiple distinct activities. One such factor, TRRAP, functions as part of two large complexes, SAGA and TIP60, which have essential roles during transcription activation. Structurally, TRRAP belongs to the family PIKKs but is the only member classified as a pseudokinase. Recent studies established that a dedicated HSP90 co-chaperone, the TTT complex, is essential for PIKK maturation and activity. Here we used endogenous auxin-inducible degron alleles to show that the TTT subunit TELO2 promotes TRRAP assembly into SAGA and TIP60 in human colorectal cancer cells (CRC). Transcriptomic analysis revealed that TELO2 contribute to TRRAP regulatory roles in CRC cells, most notably of MYC target genes. Surprisingly, TELO2 and TRRAP depletion also induced the expression of type I interferon genes. Using a combination of nascent RNA, antibody-targeted chromatin profiling (CUT&RUN) and kinetic analyses, we show that TRRAP directly represses the expression of IRF9, which is a master regulator of interferon stimulated genes. We have therefore uncovered a new, unexpected transcriptional repressor role for TRRAP, suggesting a previously unidentified mechanism by which TRRAP may contribute to tumorigenesis.
