DYRK1A Is a Novel Regulator of TGFβ Signalling and Determines Sensitivity to OXPHOS Inhibition

ABSTRACT: Intervening in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy for certain types of cancers. However, the exploration of targeting OXPHOS for the treatment of liver cancer is still limited, and the regulatory network involved in OXPHOS inhibition remains largely unexplored. Here, employing kinome-based CRISPR screening, we find that OXPHOS inhibitor IACS-010759 exhibits limited effect in liver cancer cells due to the function of dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A). Genetic inactivation or pharmacological inhibition of DYRK1A combined with OXPHOS inhibitors activates transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signalling, which is crucial for OXPHOS inhibition-triggered cell death in liver cancer cells. Mechanistically, DYRK1A directly phosphorylates SMAD3 at Thr132, thereby suppressing the negative impact of TGFβ signalling on the transcription of the glutamine transporter solute carrier family 1 member 5 (SLC1A5). This mechanism compensates for the increased glutamine requirement (?) upon OXPHOS inhibition, leading to the resistance of liver cancer cells to OXPHOS inhibition. Finally, we validated the therapeutic efficacy of targeting OXPHOS in combination with DYRK1A inhibition in multiple liver cancer models in vivo. Our study identifies DYRK1A as a novel regulator of TGF β signalling and elucidates the regulatory mechanisms governing the response to OXPHOS inhibition in tumour cells, providing novel insights into targeting OXPHOS for liver cancer therapy.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a devastating liver cancer characterized by high aggressiveness and resistance to therapy, which results to poor prognosis. Signals imposed by oncogenic pathways, such as transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) frequently contribute to CCA development. In this study, we explored novel effectors of the TGFβ pathway in CCA by gene expression profiling. We identified the long non-coding RNA LINC00313 as a novel target gene of TGFβ signalling in CCA cells. TGFβ induced LINC00313 expression in a TβRI/Smad-dependent manner. Subcellular fractionation showed that LINC00313 is a predominantly nuclear lncRNA. By integrating RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data from LINC00313 over-expressing cells, we observed that LINC00313 regulates the expression of several genes involved in the Wnt signalling pathway. As a proof of concept, we focused on the gene encoding transcription factor 7 (TCF7), a major effector that drives transcription of Wnt-target genes. LINC00313 gain of function resulted in increased TCF7 expression, while its loss of function diminished basal or TGFβ-induced TCF7 expression levels. Interestingly, LINC00313 enhanced basal or chemically induced TCF/LEF-dependent transcriptional responses, promoted colony-forming capacities of CCA cells in vitro and accelerated tumor growth in vivo. We also report that genes associated with LINC00313 over-expression recapitulate poor prognosis human CCA associated with a reduced overall survival and KRAS mutations. To decipher the underlying molecular functions of LINC00313, we identified its interacting proteins by performing an unbiased RNA pull-down assay followed by mass spectrometry. We demonstrated that actin-like 6A (ACTL6A), a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex specifically binds to LINC00313 and impacts TCF7 expression and TCF/LEF signalling output. Thus, we propose a model whereby TGFβ induces LINC00313, in order to regulate the expression of a subset of target genes, such as TCF7 possibly in co-operation with the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, via establishing direct interaction with ACTL6A. By regulating key genes of the Wnt pathway, LINC00313 fine-tunes Wnt/TCF/LEF-dependent transcriptional responses and boosts cholangiocarcinogenesis.
