EZH2 Mediated Metabolic Rewiring Promotes High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Progression Independently of Histone Methyltransferase Activity II

ABSTRACT: Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), the key catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), is overexpressed and exerts an oncogenic role in various cancers through catalytic-dependent or -independent pathways. However, the mechanisms contributing to high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) are not well understood. Here, we showed that a subgroup of HGSOC patients with high EZH2 expression but low H3K27me3 level exhibited the worst prognosis. We demonstrated that induction of EZH2 degradation but not catalytic inhibition profoundly blocked ovarian cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenicity in vitro and in vivo. We further demonstrated that EZH2 transcriptionally upregulated IDH2 to potentiate metabolic rewiring by enhancing the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), which contributed to the progression of HGSOC. Together, these data reveal a novel oncogenic role of EZH2 in HGSOC, and provide potential therapeutic strategies in HGSOC by targeting EZH2 non-catalytic activity.

EZH2 Mediated Metabolic Rewiring Promotes High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Progression Independently of Histone Methyltransferase Activity

Project description:Despite EZH2 is overexpressed and exerts an oncogenic role in various cancer through catalytic-dependent or -independent manner, the mechanisms of EZH2 contributing to high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) are incompletely understood. Here, we showed that a subgroup of HGSOC patients with high EZH2 expression but low H3K27me3 level exhibited worst prognosis. We demonstrated that EZH2 degradation but not catalytic inhibition profoundly lowered EZH2 protein and blocked cell proliferation and tumorigenicity in vitro and in vivo. Ectopic expression of EZH2 without SET domain (EZH2-∆SET), which is known to be essential for catalytic activity, restored the phenotypes of EZH2 degradation. Mechanistically, we identified that IDH2 was transactivated by EZH2 to impair metabolic rewiring by disrupting the TCA cycle, which contributed to the oncogenic role of EZH2 in OC. Together, these data reveal a novel carcinogenic role of EZH2 in HGSOC, and provide potential strategies in HGSOC by targeting EZH2 non-catalytic activity.

Bottom-up proteomics of EZH2 mutants in isogenic cells

Project description:The Enhancer of Zeste 2 Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Subunit (EZH2) is an essential epigenetic modifier able to methylate lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27) to induce chromatin compaction, protein complex recruitment and ultimately transcriptional repression. Hematologic malignancies, including Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have shown a high EZH2-mutation frequency (>20%) associated with poor clinical outcomes. Particularly, two distinct oncogenic mutations, so-called gain-of-function (Y641F and A677G) and loss-of-function (H689A and F667I) are found in the catalytic domain of EZH2. In this study, a comprehensive multi-omics approach was employed to characterize downstream effects of H3K27me3 deposition driven by EZH2 mutations. Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T) were transfected to generate three stable EZH2 mutants: EZH2(Y641F), EZH2(A677G), and EZH2(H689A/F667I), which were validated via immunoblotting and DIA-MS-based histone profiling assay. Subsequently, constructs were analyzed under a comprehensive multi-omics approach including label-free whole-cell proteomics, acquired with a Bruker timsTOF Pro HPLC-MS/MS with Ion Mobility. Important protein interactors at nuclear level were dysregulated, such as SMYD3 (SET and MYND domain containing 3), NSD2 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2) and CHD7 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 7), suggesting a cooperative network of chromatin remodelers for gene expression reprogramming.

The histone profiling assay demonstrated a significant increase of approximately two-fold in H3.1/H3.3K27me3 for Y641F EZH2 mutant. There was a modest increase in the combinatorial PTMs H3.1/H3.3K27me3K36me1 and a significant depletion in H3.1 and H3.3 K27me2. The most depleted peptide was H3.3K27me2K36me2. For the A677G EZH2 mutant, the assay demonstrated an enrichment on H3.1/H3.3K27me3, combinatorial K27me3K36me1 and a slight increase in K27me1 and K18ac but only on H3.1. The most depleted peptide was H3.3K27me2K36me2. The H689A/F667I cell line has the most alterations in global histone PTMs. The most highly enriched were H3.1/H3.3K36me2, H3.1K9me3 and H3.3K36me1. The most depleted modifications were H3.1K23ac and H3.1K27me3.

EZH2 non-canonically binds cMyc and p300 through a cryptic transactivation domain to mediate gene activation and promote oncogenesis [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Canonically, Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) serves as the main catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), mediating H3K27me3 deposition and transcriptional repression. Here, we report that, in MLL1-rearranged acute leukemias, EZH2 has additional noncanonical functions by binding the oncoprotein cMyc at its non-PRC2 target sites where EZH2 uses a hidden transactivation domain (TAD) for (co)activator recruitment and gene activation. Canonical (EZH2:PRC2) and noncanonical (EZH2-TAD:cMyc) activities of EZH2 both promote oncogenesis, thus explaining the slow and often ineffective antitumor effects by current catalytic inhibitors of EZH2. To suppress EZH2’s multifaceted activities in cancer, we employed the Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) technology and developed a small-molecule degrader, MS177, which achieved effective, on-target depletion of EZH2 and its interacting partners (i.e., both canonical EZH2:PRC2 and noncanonical EZH2:cMyc complexes). MS177-mediated onco-target degradation is cereblon- and proteasome-dependent. Compared to EZH2 enzymatic inhibitors, MS177 is fast-acting and much more potent in suppressing cancer growth. Overall, this study reveals noncanonical oncogenic functions of EZH2, and presents a highly effective PROTAC for targeting EZH2’s multifaceted tumorigenic actions and a novel and attractive therapeutic strategy for the treatment of EZH2-depdendent cancers.

EZH2-mediated H3K27 trimethylation mediates neurodegeneration in ataxia-telangiectasia

Project description:The symptoms of ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) include a progressive neurodegeneration caused by ATM protein deficiency. We previously found that nuclear accumulation of histone deacetylase-4, HDAC4, contributes to this degeneration; we now report that increased histone H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) mediated by polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) also plays an important role in the A-T phenotype. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a core catalytic component of PRC2, is identified as a new ATM kinase target, and its S734 phosphorylation reduces protein stability. Thus, PRC2 formation is elevated along with H3K27me3in ATM deficiency. ChIP-sequencing shows a significant increase in H3K27me3 ‘marks’ and a dramatic shift in their location. The change of H3K27me3 chromatin-binding pattern is directly related to cell cycle re-entry and cell death of ATM-deficient neurons. Lentiviral knockdown of EZH2 rescues Purkinje cell degeneration and behavioral abnormalities in Atm / mice, demonstrating that EZH2-mediated H3K27me3 is another key factor in A-T neurodegeneration. Two samples each were run of brain total RNA from Atm+/+ and Atm-/- mice.

RNA Immunoprecipitation(RIP)-seq of Flag-USP39 in ovarian cancer cells

Project description:High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma is the most lethal type of gynecologic malignancy.Emerging evidences have suggested the vital roles of splicing factor in the human cancers. RNA splicing pathways was found excessive activated in HGSOC. USP39 was one of overexpressed splicing factor in HGSOC. However, the biological function and concrete regulatory mechanism of USP39 in ovarian cancer remain unclear. In this study, we investigate the oncogenic roles of the splicing factor USP39 in HGSOC through facilitated the growth speed and invasion of ovarian cancer cells.Elevated USP39 expression levels, based on immunohistochemistry staining, were associated with poor survival in HGSOC patients. In order to investigate the binding peaks of USP39 in ovarian cancer,we performed RIP-seq in A2780 cells with Flag-USP39 overexpression.

EZH2 directly methylates PARP1 and regulates its activity in cancer

Project description:DNA repair dysregulation is a key driver of cancer development. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying DNA repair pathways and their dysregulation in cancer cells is crucial for cancer development and therapies. Here, we report that enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) directly methylates poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), an essential enzyme involved in DNA repair, at lysine 607 and regulates its activity. Functionally, EZH2-catalyzed methylation represses PARP1 catalytic activity, inhibits the recruitment of X-ray repair cross-complementing group-1 (XRCC1) recruitment to DNA lesions and hence impairs DNA damage repair. Meanwhile, EZH2-mediated methylation regulates PARP1 transcriptional and oncogenic activity, at least in part, through impairing PARP1-E2F1 interaction and E2F1 transcription factor activity. Collectively, our findings uncover a novel insight of EZH2 functions in DNA damage repair and cancer progression, which provides a new rationale for combinational targeting EZH2 and PARP1 in cancer.
