Histone demethylase KDM5D upregulation drives sex differences in colon cancer [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Sex exerts a profound impact on cancer incidence, spectrum and outcomes, yet the molecular genetic bases of such sex differences are ill-defined and presumptively ascribed to X-chromosome genes and sex hormones. Such sex differences are particularly prominent in colorectal cancer (CRC) where men experience higher metastases and mortality. A murine CRC model, engineered with an inducible transgene encoding oncogenic mutant KRASG12D and conditional null alleles of Apc and Trp53 tumor suppressors (designated iKAP), revealed higher metastases and worse outcomes specifically in males with oncogenic mutant KRAS (KRAS*) CRC. Integrated cross-species molecular and transcriptomic analyses identified Y-chromosome gene histone demethylase KDM5D as a transcriptionally up-regulated gene driven by KRAS*-mediated activation of the STAT4 transcription factor. KDM5D-dependent chromatin mark and transcriptome changes showed repression of regulators of the epithelial cell tight junction and MHC class I complex components. Deletion of Kdm5d in iKAP cancer cells increased tight junction integrity, decreased cell invasiveness, and enhanced cancer cell killing by CD8+ T cells. Conversely, iAP mice engineered with a Kdm5d transgene to provide constitutive Kdm5d expression specifically in iAP cancer cells exhibited an increased propensity for more invasive tumors in vivo. Thus, KRAS*-STAT4-mediated upregulation of Y chromosome KDM5D contributes significantly to the sex differences in KRAS* CRC via its disruption of cancer cell adhesion properties and tumor immunity, providing an actionable therapeutic strategy for metastasis risk reduction for men afflicted with KRAS* CRC.

Project description:The objective of Human Y Chromosome Proteome Project is to map and annotate all proteins encoded by genes on the MSY sequences. Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5D (KDM5D) is located on the AZFb region of Y chromosome and encode for a JmjC-domain-containing protein. Changes in KDM5D transcript level in prostate cancer have shown in various studies. To investigation the function of KDM5D in prostate cancer, we knocked down the expression of KDM5D in human prostate cancer cell (DU-145) using siRNA approach. Down-regulation of KDM5D was confirmed by qRT-PCR and western-blot analyses. Cell cycle analysis and MTS assay revealed that down-regulation of KDM5D induces cell proliferation. Furthermore, we observed that KDM5D down-regulation could effectively decrease apoptosis, as measured by the propidium iodide flow cytometric assay. To further our study, we investigated the dynamic of KDM5D protein network using shotgun label free quantitative proteomics approach in knockdown and control cell line. In summary, 102 down-regulated and 107 up-regulated proteins were detected from 894 total proteins. Up-regulated proteins mainly activated ribosome biogenesis whereas down-regulated genes were mainly involved in proteolysis, cell death and metabolic process. The result raw files were converted to mzXML format and processed through the global proteome machine (GPM) software (version 2.1.1) of the X!Tandem algorithm (freely available at http://www.thegpm.org). The 16 gel fractions were processed serially for each experiment and the output files were generated as non-redundant, merged files with protein identifications with log (e) values less than -1, for each individual gel fraction. A protein database compiled from NCBI (Homo sapien) was used in GPM to search the tandem mass spectra; the database also included common trypsin and human peptide contaminants. False discovery rates (FDR) were evaluated by searching against a reversed sequence database. Search parameters included MS and MS/MS tolerances of +2 Da and +0.2 Da, carbamidomethylation of cysteine as fixed modifications, oxidation of methionine as variable modifications and tolerance of two missed tryptic cleavages and K/R-P cleavages.
