Small-molecule Inhibition of METTL3 Suppresses Tumor Growth and Promotes Neuroblastoma Differentiation [meRIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification is an important regulator of gene expression. m6A is deposited by a methyltransferase complex that includes methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14). High levels of METTL3 and METTL14 drive the growth of many types of adult cancer, and METTL3/METTL14 inhibitors are emerging as new anticancer agents. However, little is known about the m6A epitranscriptome or the role of the METTL3/METTL14 complex in neuroblastoma, a common pediatric cancer. Here, we show that METTL3 knockdown or pharmacologic inhibition with the small molecule STM2457 leads to reduced neuroblastoma cell proliferation and increased differentiation. These changes in neuroblastoma phenotype were associated with decreased m6A deposition on transcripts involved in nervous system development and neuronal differentiation and increased stability and expression of target mRNAs. In preclinical studies, STM2457 treatment suppressed the growth of neuroblastoma tumors in vivo. Together, these results support the potential of METTL3/METTL14 complex inhibition as therapeutic strategy against neuroblastoma.

m6A independent genome-wide METTL3 and METTL14 redistribution drives senescence-associated secretory phenotype [MeRIP-seq]

Project description:Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and 14 (METTL14) are core subunits of the methyltransferase complex (MTC) that catalyzes mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. Despite the expanding list of m6A-dependent function of the MTC, m6A independent function of the METTL3 and METTL14 complex remains poorly understood. Here we show that genome-wide redistribution of METTL3 and METTL14 drives senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in a m6A-independent manner. METTL3 and METTL14 are necessary for SASP. However, SASP is not regulated by m6A mRNA modification. METTL14 is redistributed to the enhancers, while METTL3 is localized to the pre-existing NF-B sites within the promoters of the SASP genes during senescence. METTL3 interacts with NF-B and they are mutually dependent on their associations with the promoters of SASP genes. METTL14 but not METTL3 is necessary for function of SASP gene enhancers. METTL3 and METTL14 are required for both the tumor-promoting and immune surveillance functions of senescent cells mediated by SASP in vivo in mouse models. In summary, our results report a m6A independent function of the METTL3 and METTL14 complex in promoting SASP through regulating transcription by genome-wide redistribution of METTL14 to enhancers and METTL3 to promoters of SASP genes during senescence.

METTL14 is a chromatin regulator independent of RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A MeRIP-Seq)

Project description:METTL3 and METTL14 are two components that form the core heterodimer of the main RNA m6A methyltransferase complex (MTC, also known as m6A writer) that installs m6A. Surprisingly, depletion of METTL3 or METTL14 displayed distinct effects on mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) self-renewal. While comparable global hypo-methylation in RNA m6A was observed in Mettl3 or Mettl14 knockout mESCs, respectively. Mettl14 knockout led to a globally decreased nascent RNA synthesis, whereas Mettl3 depletion resulted in transcription upregulation, suggesting that METTL14 might possess an m6A-indenepent role in gene regulation. We found that METTL14 colocalizes with the repressive H3K27me3 modification and PRC2 complex. Mechanically, METTL14, but not METTL3, recognizes H3K27me3 and recruits KDM6B to induce H3K27me3 demethylation independent of METTL3. Depletion of METTL14 thus led to a global increase in H3K27me3 level along with a global gene suppression . The regulation of H3K27me3 by METTL14 is essential to the transition of mESCs from self-renewal to differentiation. This work reveals a regulation mechanism on heterochromatin by METTL14 in a manner distinct from METTL3 and independently of m6A, and critically impacts transcriptional regulation, stemness maintenance and differentiation of mESCs.

Identification and Characterization of the Mammalian Nuclear RNA N6-Adenosine Methyltransferase Core Complex

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal modification found in mammalian messenger and non-coding RNAs. The discoveries of functionally significant demethylases that reverse this methylation as well as the recently revealed m6A distributions in mammalian transcriptomes strongly indicate regulatory functions of this modification. Here we report the identification and characterization of the mammalian nuclear RNA N6-adenosine methyltransferase core (RNMTC) complex. Besides METTL3, a methyltransferase which was the only known component of RNMTC in the past, we discovered that a previously uncharacterized methyltransferase, METTL14, exhibits a N6-adenosine methyltransferase activity higher than METTL3. Together with WTAP, the third component that dramatically affects the cellular m6A level, these three proteins form the core complex that orchestrates m6A deposition on mammalian nuclear RNA. Biochemistry assays, imaging experiments, as well as transcriptome-wide analyses of the binding sites and their effects on m6A methylation support methylation function and reveal new insights of RNMTC.

METTL3/MYCN cooperation drives neural crest differentiation and provides therapeutic vulnerability in neuroblastoma

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer. Improper differentiation of developing trunk neural crest cells (tNCC) cause NB tumor formation in sympathetic nervous system. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) epitranscriptomic modification control post-transcriptional gene expression but the mechanism which recruit m6A methyltransferase complex to specific locus is less characterized. We explored if m6A epitranscriptome could fine tune gene regulation in migrating/differentiating tNCC. We uncovered m6A epitranscriptome based regulation of HOX gene expression in tNCC which contributes in their timely differentiation to sympathetic neurons. Posterior HOX genes are m6A modified in MYCN NB cells and tumors. We provided evidence that sustained overexpression of MYCN oncogene could drive METTL3 recruitment in subset of genes to create an undifferentiated state in tNCC. Our study suggests oncogenic transcription factor mediated modulation of m6A epitranscriptome could be a prevalent mechanism in other cancers. METTL3 depletion/inhibition induces DNA damage and differentiation in MYCN overexpressed cells. METTL3 inhibition increases vulnerability to the chemotherapeutic drug in MYCN-amplified Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) cells, suggesting METTL3 inhibition could be a potential therapeutic approach for NB.

Determine the methyltransferase activities of METTL3, METTL14, and METTL16 via MeRIP-seq (m6A-seq)

Project description:All the three enzymes, METTL3, METTL14, and METTL16, belong to methyltransferase like (METTL) family and possess the ability to deposit N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in mRNA. Via immunofluorescence staining and wertern blotting, we discovered either METTL3 or METTL14 mainly localize in nuclear, but METTL16 localizes in both cytosol and nuclei. To compare the m6A methyltransferase activities of the three m6A 'writers' and better understand their differences, MeRIP-seq (m6A-seq) was conducted with poly(A) RNAs isolaed from HEK293T cells with METTL3, 14 and 16 knockout.

BRD4 ChIP-seq in JQ1 treatment and control in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Project description:Aberrant expression of m6A writer complex has been reported across human cancers, resulting in abnormal m6A epitranscriptome that drives tumorigenesis. But the regulatory mechanism remains unknown. Here, we identified an unappreciated interplay between the histone acetyl-lysine reader BRD4 and the m6A methyltransferase complex (MTC) across human cancers. BRD4 directly stimulates transcript expression of seven MTC subunits, allowing the maintenance of nuclear METTL3/METTL14 abundance and the formation of functional writer complex to catalyze m6A modification.
