Rnf20 levels modulate the VEGF-Notch signaling circuits during sprouting angiogenesis [03ATAC_seq-Retina]

ABSTRACT: Tight control of cell fate choices is crucial for proper vessel development. Here we show that Rnf20, the major E3 ubiquitin ligase of histone H2B, plays a key role in the tight control of VEGF-Notch signaling, which is crucial for proper vessel growth and patterning, as well as for the dynamic tip-stalk cell fate at the vascular front. We demonstrate that Rnf20 is dynamically expressed in the developing retina and controls vessel growth through two distinct modes of action. On the one hand, it restricts gene activation by the endothelial transcription factor ERG and on the other, it orchestrates large-scale mRNA processing events, which change the bioavailability and function of critical pro-angiogenic factors. We show that Rnf20 plays a key role for the upregulation of both VEGFR2 through alternative polyadenylation and VEGFA through intron inclusion, as well as for suppressing the ability of Notch1 to bind to chromatin. Interestingly, perturbations of RNF20 have been associated with complex cardiovascular malformations in human patients, suggesting that delineating the mechanisms that control Rnf20 expression and activity may provide new insights into diseases caused by vascular dysfunction.

RNF20-mediated transcriptional pausing and alternative splicing of pro-angiogenic genes orchestrate vessel growth [06ATAC_siRNF20_HUVEC]

Project description:Signal-responsive gene expression is essential for vascular growth and patterning, yet the mechanisms allowing the integration of signaling inputs and transcriptional activities are largely unknown. Here we show that RNF20, the major E3 ubiquitin ligase of histone H2B, plays a key role during sprouting angiogenesis by mediating Pol II promoter-proximal pausing at pro-angiogenic genes. Furthermore, it orchestrates large-scale mRNA processing events, which change the bioavailability and function of critical pro-angiogenic factors, such as VEGFA. Mechanistically, we show that RNF20 restricts ERG-dependent gene activation through the VEGF-ERK1/2 axis while enabling Notch1 to bind to chromatin, thereby modulating the VEGF-Notch signaling circuits. Since perturbations of RNF20 are associated with cardiovascular malformations in human patients, our work may provide novel therapeutic avenues for diseases caused by vascular dysfunction.

Regulation of gene expression by WAC/RNF20/RNF40 in HEK293A cells

Project description:WAC is a known positive regulator of (macro)autophagy. WAC also forms a complex with RNF20/RNF40 to promote H2B monoubiquitination and hence to affect transcriptional regulation. This study addresses whether the WAC/RNF20/RNF40 complex regulates autophagy through effects on gene expression. WAC, RNF20 and RNF40 were knocked-down using pools of siRNAs in HEK293A cells. Each knockdown was in triplicate and the control was RISCfree siRNA. mRNA expression profiles were investigated using an Illumina HT12v4 Bead Array.

The histone H2B ubiquitin ligase RNF20 is required for MLL-rearranged leukemia

Project description:MLL-fusions are potent oncogenes that initiate aggressive forms of acute leukemia. As aberrant transcriptional regulators, MLL-fusion proteins alter gene expression in hematopoietic cells through interactions with the histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase DOT1L. Notably, interference with MLL-fusion cofactors like DOT1L is an emerging therapeutic strategy in this disease. Here we identify the histone H2B E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF20 as an additional requirement for MLL-fusion-mediated leukemogenesis. Suppressing the expression of Rnf20 in diverse models of MLL-rearranged leukemia leads to inhibition of cell proliferation; under tissue culture conditions as well as in vivo. Rnf20 knockdown leads to reduced expression of MLL-fusion target genes, including Hoxa9 and Meis1; effects that resemble Dot1l-inhibition. Using ChIP-seq, we found that H2B ubiquitination (H2Bub) is enriched in the body of MLL-fusion target genes, correlating with sites of H3K79 methylation and transcription elongation. Furthermore, we found that Rnf20 is required to maintain local levels of H3K79 di-methylation by Dot1l at Hoxa9 and Meis1. These findings support a model whereby co-transcriptional recruitment of Rnf20 at MLL-fusion target genes leads to amplification of Dot1l-mediated H3K79 methylation, thereby rendering leukemia cells dependent on Rnf20 to maintain their oncogenic transcriptional program.

RNF20 contributes to epigenetic immunosuppression through CDK9-dependent LSD1 stablization (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) plays a critical role in transcription initiation and is essential for maintaining gene silencing at heterochromatic loci. Inhibition of CDK9 increases sensitivity to immunotherapy, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We now report that RNF20 stabilizes LSD1 via K29-mediated ubiquitination, which is dependent on CDK9-mediated phosphorylation. This CDK9- and RNF20-dependent LSD1 stabilization is necessary for the demethylation of histone H3K4, then subsequent repression of endogenous retrovirus (ERVs), and an interferon response, leading to epigenetic immunosuppression. Moreover, we found that loss of RNF20 sensitizes cancer cells to the immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-1 in vivo, and that this effect can be rescued by the expression of ectopic LSD1. Our findings are supported by the observation that RNF20 levels correlate with LSD1 levels in human breast cancer specimens. This study sheds light on the role of RNF20 in CDK9-dependent LSD1 stabilization, which is crucial for epigenetic silencing and immunosuppression. Our findings explore the potential importance of targeting the CDK9-RNF20-LSD1 axis in the development of new cancer therapies.
