Global binding profiles of MYBL2 and FOXM1 in lung adenocarcinoma reveal that MYBL2 regulates FOXM1 to control cell-cycle genes including CENPA [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: MYBL2 is a transcription factor that has either pro-survival or anti-survival functions in a cell-type specific manner. Overexpression of MYBL2 is associated with worse survival of lung adenocarcinoma, but the mechanism by which it regulates transcription has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we found that MYBL2 mainly binds to the promoters of highly expressed genes in lung adenocarcinoma cells using ChIP-seq. Using knock-down and RNA-seq approach, we identified over a thousand of genes deregulated by MYBL2. By integrating ChIP-seq and RNA-seq data, we identified target genes of MYBL2. We revealed that FOXM1 is regulated by MYBL2 in lung adenocarcinoma cells, and FOXM1 binding sites are largely shared with MYBL2 binding sites. We treated lung adenocarcinoma cells with FDI-6, a known FOXM1 inhibitor and investigated the effect of FDI-6 in transcriptional regulation of MYBL2 and FOXM1. We found that CENPA is one of the key genes regulated by MYBL2 and FOXM1, and that it can be inhibited by FDI-6. Our signaling pathway analysis results revealed that MYBL2 and FOXM1 activate cell-cycle genes, suggesting that MYBL2 and FOXM1 act as oncogenic transcription factors in lung adenocarcinoma cells and FDI-6 could be a potential treatment of the disease.

Project description:The transcription factor FOXM1 coordinates the expression of cell cycle-related genes and plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. We have previously shown that FOXM1 acts downstream of 14-3-3ζ signaling, which correlates with a more aggressive tumor phenotype. However, the role that FOXM1 might play in engendering the resistance to endocrine treatments in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) patients when tumor FOXM1 is high, has not been clearly defined. To understand the role of FOXM1 in endocrine resistance and cancer aggressiveness, we analyzed FOXM1 protein expression by IHC in 501 ER-positive breast cancers; this revealed high FOXM1 expression in 20% of the tumors and a significantly reduced survival in these patients (p=0.003, log rank Mantel-Cox). We also mapped genome-wide FOXM1 binding events by chromatin immunoprecipitation, followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), in hormone-sensitive and resistant breast cancer cells after tamoxifen treatment. FOXM1 binding sites were enriched at the transcription start site of genes involved in cell cycle progression, maintenance of stem cell properties, and invasion and metastasis, all of which are correlated with the worst prognosis in ERα-positive patients treated with tamoxifen. Binding profiles were also integrated with gene expression data from cells before and after FOXM1 knockdown to highlight specific FOXM1 transcriptional networks. By modulating the levels of FOXM1 and newly discovered FOXM1-regulated genes [in breast cancer cells], we demonstrate that increased expression of FOXM1 was associated with an expansion of the cancer stem-like cell population and with increased cell invasiveness and resistance to endocrine treatments. Use of a selective FOXM1 inhibitor proved very effective in restoring endocrine therapy sensitivity and decreasing breast cancer aggressiveness. Collectively, our findings uncover novel roles for FOXM1 and FOXM1-regulated genes in promoting cancer stem-like cell properties and therapy resistance, and highlight the relevance of FOXM1 as a therapeutic target to be considered for reducing invasiveness and enhancing breast cancer response to endocrine treatments. MCF-7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells were tranfected with control, and FOXM1 siRNA for 72 hours and treated with 0.1% EtOH (Vehicle) or 1 uM TOT for 24 hours, and cDNA microarray analyses were carried out using Affymetrix [HG-U133A_2] Affymetrix Human Genome U133A 2.0 Array.
