Pathogenic mechanism and therapeutic intervention of impaired N7-methylguanosine (m7G) tRNA modification [RNC seq]

ABSTRACT: The tRNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is not essential for yeast growth, but in mammals mis-regulations of tRNA m7G modification cause stem cell defect and developmental disorders. Here we found that homozygous mutated WDR4 caused microcephaly, retardation in motor coordination and spatial learning ability in mice, which mimics the symptom in human patients with WDR4 mutation. Further analysis revealed that homozygous mutation of WDR4 impaired tRNA m7G modification and reduced the translation level of genes involved in mTOR signaling pathway in mouse brain, which further caused endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and cell death. Our study uncovered a new layer of translation regulation mechanism mediated by tRNA m7G modification, provided strong evidence to support the important physiological function of mis-regulated tRNA modification in neuron disorders.

METTL1/WDR4 mediated tRNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modifications promote mRNA translation and lung cancer progression [TRAC-seq]

Project description:The tRNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is not essential for yeast growth, but in mammals mis-regulations of tRNA m7G modification cause stem cell defect and developmental disorders. Here we found that tRNA m7G methyltransferase complex components METTL1 and WDR4 are elevated in lung cancer tissues and associated with poor lung cancer prognosis. Functionally, depletion of METTL1 or WDR4 suppresses proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung cancer cells. In addition, forced expression of METTL1 or WDR4 promotes lung cancer progression depending on the tRNA m7G methyltransferase activity. Mechanistically, METTL1 knockdown leads to reduced tRNA m7G modification and decreased expression of m7G-modified tRNAs. Depletion of METTL1 selectively reduces the translation of a subset of oncogenic transcripts, including the genes related to cell proliferation in a m7G related codon dependent manner. Our study uncovered a new layer of translation regulation mechanism mediated by tRNA m7G modification, provided strong evidence to support the important physiological function of mis-regulated tRNA modification in cancer, and suggested that targeting METTL1 could be a promising strategy for lung cancer treatment.

N7-methylguanosine tRNA modification promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tumorigenesis via the RPTOR/ULK1/autophagy axis

Project description:The cancer cells selectively promote the translation of oncogenic mRNAs to facilitate cancer progression, while the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The tRNA N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is not essential for yeast growth, but in mammals mis-regulations of tRNA m7G modification cause stem cell defect and developmental disorders. Here we found that tRNA m7G methyltransferase complex components METTL1 and WDR4 are elevated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and associated with poor ESCC prognosis. Functionally, depletion of METTL1 or WDR4 suppresses proliferation, migration, and invasion of ESCC cells. In addition, forced expression of METTL1 or WDR4 promotes ESCC progression depending on the tRNA m7G methyltransferase activity. Mechanistically, METTL1 knockdown leads to reduced tRNA m7G modification and decreased expression of m7G-modified tRNAs. Depletion of METTL1 selectively reduces the translation of a subset of oncogenic transcripts, including the genes related to mTOR signaling and autophagy in m7G related codon dependent manner. Rescue assays revealed the essential function of RPTOR/ULK1/autophagy axis in METTL1 driven ESCC progression. Furthermore, ESCC initiation and progression models using Mettl1 conditional knockout and knockin mice uncovered the strong physiological function of Mettl1 in promoting in vivo ESCC tumorigenesis. Our study uncovered a new layer of translation regulation mechanism mediated by tRNA m7G modification, provided strong evidence to support the important physiological function of mis-regulated tRNA modification in cancer, and suggested that targeting METTL1 and its downstream signaling axis could be a promising strategy for ESCC treatment.

N7-methylguanosine tRNA modification promotes tumorigenesis and chemoresistance through WNT/β-Catenin pathway in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Project description:Treatment selections are very limited for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) experiencing disease progression. Uncovering the potential mechanism underlying NPC progression is crucial for identify novel treatments. Here we show that N7-methylguanosine (m7G) tRNA modification enzyme METTL1 and its partner WDR4 are significantly elevated in NPC and associated with poor prognosis. Loss-of-function and gain-of-function assays demonstrated that METTL1/WDR4 mediated m7G tRNA modification promotes NPC growth and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, m7G tRNA modification selectively regulates the translation of transcripts with higher percentage of m7G tRNA decoded codons. Moreover, further analysis revealed that METTL1-mediated m7G tRNA modification activates WNT/β-Catenin signaling pathway to promote NPC cell epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and chemoresistance to cisplatin and docetaxel in vitro and in vivo. Our work uncovers a novel layer of mRNA translation regulation mechanism at codon recognition step mediated by tRNA modification and reveals the critical function of tRNA modification in cancer progression.

METTL1 promotes hepatocarcinogenesis via m7G tRNA modification dependent translation control

Project description:N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is one of the most prevalent tRNA modifications in human. The precise function and molecular mechanism of m7G tRNA modification in regulation of cancer remain poorly understood. Here we showed that m7G tRNA modification, METTL1 and WDR4 are elevated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and associated with HCC patient prognosis. Functionally, silencing METTL1 or WDR4 inhibits HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while forced expression of wild type METTL1 but not its catalytic dead mutant promotes HCC progression. Knockdown of METTL1 reduces m7G tRNA modification and decreases m7G modified tRNA expression. Mechanistically, METTL1 depletion selectively decreases the mRNA translation of a subset of oncogenic genes, especially cell cycle and EGFR pathway genes, in m7G-related codon dependent manner. Moreover, in vivo studies using Mettl1 knock-in and knockout mice reveal a critical function of Mettl1 mediated m7G tRNA modifications in promoting hepatocarcinogenesis in the hydrodynamics transfection HCC model. Our work uncovers the critical functions of tRNA m7G modification in regulating cancer mRNA translation and promoting hepatocarcinogenesis, thus provides new insights into role of the mis-regulated tRNA modifications in cancers.

Aberrant translation regulation by METTL1/WDR4-mediated tRNA N7-methylguanosine modification drives HNSCC progression

Project description:The cancer cells selectively promote the translation of specific oncogenic transcripts to stimulate cancer progression. Although growing evidence has revealed that tRNA modifications and related genes participate in this process, their roles in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remain largely uncharacterized. Here we found that tRNA m7G methyltransferase complex components METTL1/WDR4 were both upregulated in HNSCC and associated with poor prognosis. Functionally, METTL1/WDR4 promoted HNSCC progression and metastasis in cell-based and transgenic mouse models. Mechanistically, ablation of METTL1 reduced m7G levels of 16 tRNAs, causing translational inhibition of a subset of oncogenic transcripts, including the genes related to PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, chemical modulators of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway can reverse the effects of Mettl1 in HNSCC. Furthermore, single-cell RNA sequencing results revealed that depletion of Mettl1 in tumor cells altered the immune landscape and cell-cell interaction between tumor and stromal compartment. In summary, this study uncovered the physiological function and mechanism of mis-translation regulation mediated by tRNA m7G modification in HNSCC, and suggested that targeting METTL1 could be a promising treatment strategy for HNSCC patients.
