Project description:Loss-of-function mutations in SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling subunit genes are observed in many cancers, but an oncogenic role for SWI/SNF is not well established. Here we reveal that ACTL6A, encoding a SWI/SNF subunit linked to stem and progenitor cell function, is frequently co-amplified and highly expressed together with the p53 family member p63 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). ACTL6A and p63 physically interact and cooperatively control a transcriptional program that promotes proliferation and suppresses differentiation, in part through activation of the Hippo-YAP pathway via regulators including WWC1. Consequently, loss of ACTL6A or p63 in tumor cells induces YAP phosphorylation and inactivation, associated with growth arrest and terminal differentiation, all phenocopied by WWC1 overexpression. In vivo, ectopic ACTLC6A/p63 expression promotes tumorigenesis, while ACTL6A expression and YAP activation are highly correlated in primary HNSCC and predict poor patient survival. Thus, ACTL6A and p63 collaborate as oncogenic drivers in HNSCC.

Project description:The Hippo pathway is a commonly altered signaling pathway involved in cancer initiation and progression; however, exactly how this pathway becomes dysregulated to promote human cancer development has not been fully understood. In this study, we systematically analyzed the Hippo somatic mutations derived from human cancer genome and functionally annotated their roles in targeting the Hippo pathway. We identified a total of 85 driver missense mutations for the major Hippo pathway genes and elucidated the mechanisms by which these mutations altered their functions in the Hippo pathway. Through these analyses, we revealed zinc-finger domain (ZNF) as an integral structure required for MOB1 function, whose driver mutations promoted head and neck cancer development. Moreover, we discovered that the schwannoma/meningioma-derived NF2 driver mutations gained an oncogenic role by activating the VANGL-JNK pathway. Taken together, our study offers a rich somatic mutation resource for further investigating the Hippo pathway in human cancer, providing a molecular basis for the development of Hippo-related personalized cancer therapy.

Project description:TP63 (p63) is strongly expressed in lower-grade carcinomas of head-and-neck, skin, breast, urothelium, etc. to maintain the well-differentiated phenotype. TP63 has two transcription start sites at exon 1 and exon 3’ to produce TAp63 and DeltaNp63 isoforms, respectively. The major protein, DeltaNp63alpha, epigenetically activates genes essential for epidermal/craniofacial differentiation, including DeltaNp63 itself. To examine whether weakly expressed TAp63 has a specific role, we disrupted exon 1 by CRISPR-Cas9 homology directed repair in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) line. Surprisingly, TAp63 knockout cells, either by monoallelic GFP cassette insertion paired with a frameshift deletion allele or by biallelic GFP cassette insertion, caused DeltaNp63 silencing. Loss of keratinocyte-specific gene expression, switching of intermediate filaments from KRT(s) to VIM, and suppression of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion components indicated core events of epithelial mesenchymal transition. Most of the positively and negatively impacted genes including DeltaNp63 displayed local DNA methylation changes. Furthermore, DeltaNp63 expression was partially rescued by transfection of TAp63alpha followed by incubation with DNA methyltransferase inhibitor Zebularine. TAp63, as a minor part of TP63 gene, may possibly be involved in the auto-activation mechanism of DeltaNp63 by which keratinocyte-specific epigenome is maintained in SCC.

Project description:TP63 (p63) is strongly expressed in lower-grade carcinomas of head-and-neck, skin, breast, urothelium, etc. to maintain the well-differentiated phenotype. TP63 has two transcription start sites at exon 1 and exon 3’ to produce TAp63 and DeltaNp63 isoforms, respectively. The major protein, DeltaNp63alpha, functions as a core factor to organize super enhancers of genes essential for epidermal/craniofacial differentiation and for self-activation of DeltaNp63. To examine whether very weakly expressed TAp63 has a specific role, we disrupted exon 1 by CRISPR-Cas9 homology directed repair (HDR) in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) line. Surprisingly, TAp63 knockout cells, with either ‘monoallelic HDR and a frameshift deletion on the other allele’ or ‘biallelic HDR’, caused DeltaNp63 silencing. Loss of keratinocyte-specific gene expression, replacement of KRT5 with VIM, and transcriptional suppression of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion components indicated core events of epithelial mesenchymal transition. Most of the positively and negatively impacted genes including DeltaNp63 displayed local CpG methylation changes. Furthermore, DeltaNp63 expression was partially rescued by transfection of TAp63alpha, followed by incubation with DNA methyltransferase inhibitor Zebularine. This study suggests that TAp63 is indispensable for DeltaNp63 expression by which keratinocyte-specific epigenome is maintained in SCC.
