Epigenetic modifiers MMSET and EZH2 physically interact and cooperate to support Multiple Myeloma pathophysiology [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant B cell dyscrasia characterized by the accumulation of clonal plasma cells (PC) within the bone marrow. Epigenetic factors are involved in MM initiation, progression, and occurrence of chemoresistance. Among them EZH2, the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalytic subunit and NSD2 (MMSET), the target oncogene of t(4;14) primary translocation, are both associated with poor prognosis values and contribute to MM disease. In this study, we identified a physical interaction between EZH2 and MMSET in MM. We used MMSET-depleted MM cells and MAK-683, an allosteric inhibitor of EZH2, to disrupt this interaction and understand its implication in MM biology and resistance to anti-MM drugs. Through its interaction with EZH2, MMSET regulates PRC2 nuclear localization in MM cells, promotes a particularly poor prognosis in MM patients, and modulates the expression of tumor-suppressor genes involved in p53 pathway. We also demonstrated that MAK-683 can interfere with this interaction and synergizes with conventional drugs used in MM treatment: Melphalan, an alkylating agent triggering DNA Damage Response (DDR); and Panobinostat, a Histone De-Acetylase (HDAC) inhibitor directedly regulating p53 acetylation and stability.

Dissecting and Targeting Noncanonical Functions of EZH2 in Multiple Myeloma via an EZH2 Degrader [RNA-seq]

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy with poor prognosis. Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is the enzymatic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which catalyzes trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) for transcriptional repression. EZH2 have been implicated in numerous hematological malignancies, including MM. However, noncanonical functions of EZH2 in MM tumorigenesis are not well understood. Here, we uncovered a noncanonical function of EZH2 in MM malignancy. In addition to the PRC2-mediated and H3K27me3-dependent canonical function, EZH2 interacts with cMyc and co-localizes with gene activation markers, promoting MM tumorigenesis in a PRC2- and H3K27me3-independent manner. Both canonical EZH2-PRC2 and noncanonical EZH2-cMyc complexes can be effectively depleted in MM cells by MS177, an EZH2 degrader we reported previously, leading to profound activation of EZH2-PRC2-associated genes and suppression of EZH2-cMyc oncogenic nodes. The MS177-induced degradation of both canonical EZH2-PRC2 and noncanonical EZH2-cMyc complexes also reactivated immune response genes in MM cells. Phenotypically, targeting of EZH2’s both canonical and noncanonical functions by MS177 effectively suppressed the proliferation of MM cells both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, this study uncovers a new noncanonical function of EZH2 in MM tumorigenesis and provides a novel therapeutic strategy, pharmacological degradation of EZH2, for treating EZH2-dependent MM.

Effects of MMSET on gene expression in multiple myeloma

Project description:The MMSET (Multiple Myeloma SET domain) protein is overexpressed in multiple myeloma patients with the translocation t(4;14). Although studies have shown the involvement of MMSET/WHSC1 in development, its mode of action in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) is largely unknown. We found that MMSET is a major regulator of chromatin structure and transcription in t(4;14) MM cells. High levels of MMSET correlate with an increase in lysine 36 methylation of histone H3 and a decrease in lysine 27 methylation across the genome, leading to a more open structural state of the chromatin. Loss of MMSET expression alters adhesion properties, suppresses growth and induces apoptosis in MM cells. Consequently, genes affected by high levels of MMSET are implicated in the p53 pathway, cell cycle regulation and integrin signaling. Regulation of many of these genes required functional histone methyl-transferase (HMT) activity of MMSET. These results implicate MMSET as a major epigenetic regulator in t(4;14)+ MM.

Characterization of the EZH2-MMSET histone methyltransferase regulatory axis in cancer [expression]

Project description:Histone methyltransferases (HMTases), as chromatin modifiers, regulate the transcriptomic landscape in normal development as well in diseases such as cancer. Here, we molecularly order two HMTases, EZH2 and MMSET that have established genetic links to oncogenesis. EZH2, which mediates histone H3K27 trimethylation and is associated with gene silencing, was shown to be coordinately expressed and function upstream of MMSET, which mediates H3K36 dimethylation and is associated with active transcription. We found that the EZH2-MMSET HMTase axis is coordinated by a microRNA network and that the oncogenic functions of EZH2 require MMSET activity. Together, these results suggest that the EZH2-MMSET HMTase axis coordinately functions as a master regulator of transcriptional repression, activation, and oncogenesis and may represent an attractive therapeutic target in cancer.

MMSET I acts as an oncoprotein and regulates GLO1 expression in t(4;14) multiple myeloma cells

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by recurrent chromosomal translocations. The translocation t(4;14)(p16;q32) is one of the most common translocation in MMs, affecting 15% of patients, and is associated with very poor prognosis. The histone methyltransferase (HMTase) MMSET is universally overexpressed in t(4;14) MM as a result of the t(4;14) translocation. MMSET is capable of producing 3 major isoforms, the full length MMSET II, short isoforms REIIBP and MMSET I. MMSET II has been suggested to play an important tumorigenic role in t(4;14) MM, but little is yet known about whether and how the MMSET short isoforms contribute to MM tumorigenesis. The aim of this study is to characterize MMSET I roles and determine its downstream targets in t(4;14) MM. In t(4;14) MM cells MMSET I knockdown with shRNAs induced cell apoptosis, reduced colony formation and inhibited tumorigenicity in vivo. We also found MMSET I knockdown decreased GLO1 expression, and ectopic MMSET I increased GLO1 expression, suggesting that MMSET I is an upstream regulator of GLO1. Further analysis indicated that MMSET I bound to GLO1 promoter region and depended on its C-terminus to regulate GLO1 expression. Our preliminary data suggested that MMSET I is an oncoprotein and could regulate GLO1 expression in t(4;14) multiple myeloma cells.
