GAS41 modulates ferroptosis by anchoring NRF2 on chromatin

ABSTRACT: Here, through genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screenings, we identified GAS41, a well-known histone reader as a major repressor for ferroptosis. GAS41 interacts with NRF2 and is critical for NRF2 to activate its targets such as SLC7A11 for modulating ferroptosis. By recognizing the H3K27-acetylation (H3K27-ac) marker, GAS41 is recruited to the SLC7A11 promoter independent of NRF2 binding. Notably, by bridging the interaction between NRF2 and the H3K27-ac marker, GAS41 acts as an anchor for NRF2 on chromatin in a promoter-specific manner for transcriptional activation. Moreover, the GAS41-mediated effect on ferroptosis contributes significantly to its oncogenic role in vivo. These data demonstrate that GAS41 is an important target for modulating tumor growth through ferroptosis. Our study reveals a previously unanticipated mechanism for GAS41-mediated regulation in transcription by anchoring NRF2 on chromatin and provides a model that the DNA binding activity on chromatin by transcriptional factors (NRF2) can be directly regulated by histone markers (H3K27-ac).

Role of Histone H3 Lysine 27 Crotonylation in Gene Transcriptional Repression

Project description:Histone lysine acetylation and methylation regulate gene transcription through coordination of chromatin structure and transcriptional activity. However, our understanding of the role of histones in gene regulation is far from complete, in part due to newly discovered novel histone modifications, whose functions are yet to be uncovered1. Here we report that histone H3 lysine 27 crotonylation (H3K27cr) is selectively recognized by the YEATS domain of GAS41 in association with SIN3a-HDAC1/2 co-repressor complex for gene transcriptional repression. The GAS41 YEATS domain dimer binds proto-oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc, which recruits GAS41/SIN3a-HDAC1/2 complex to target gene loci in chromatin such as cell cycle inhibitor p21. Transcriptional de-repression of p21, directed by tumor suppressor p53 upon doxorubicin stimulation, entails dissociation of c-Myc/GAS41/SIN3a-HDAC1/2 complex from chromatin, reduced H3K27 crotonylation, and consequentially increased H3K27 acetylation at p21 locus. GAS41 knockout or H3K27cr binding depletion with CRISPR/Cas9 results in p21 activation, cell cycle arrest and tumor growth inhibition in mice. Our study explains mechanistically causal effect of GAS41 and c-Myc gene amplification on down-regulation of p21 in human colorectal cancer, and suggests GAS41 as an anti-cancer target. We propose that H3K27 crotonylation represents a previously unrecognized, distinct chromatin state for gene transcriptional repression in contrast to H3K27 trimethylation for long-term transcriptional silencing and H3K27 acetylation for transcriptional activation.

Itaconate transporter SLC13A3 impairs tumor immunity via endowing ferroptosis resistance [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) triggers tumor ferroptosis. However, most patients are unresponsive to ICB. Tumors might evade ferroptosis in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we discovered SLC13A3 is an itaconate transporter in tumor cells and endows tumor ferroptosis resistance, diminishing tumor immunity and ICB efficacy. Mechanistically, tumor cells uptake itaconate via SLC13A3 from tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), thereby activating the NRF2-SLC7A11 pathway and escaping from immune-mediated ferroptosis. Structural modeling and molecular docking analysis identified a functional inhibitor for SLC13A3 (SLC13A3i). Deletion of ACOD1 (an essential enzyme for itaconate synthesis) in macrophages, genetic ablation of SLC13A3 in tumors, or treatment with SLC13A3i sensitized tumors to ferroptosis, curbed tumor progression, and bolstered ICB effectiveness. Thus, we identify the interplay between tumors and TAMs via the SLC13A3-itaconate-NRF2-SLC7A11 axis as a previously unknown immune ferroptosis resistant mechanism in the TME and SLC13A3 as a promising immunometabolic target and disease indication for treating SLC13A3+cancer.

Recognition of histone acetylation by the GAS41 YEATS domain promotes H2A.Z deposition and tumorigenesis of non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:Histone acetylation is associated with active transcription in eukaryotic cells. It helps to open up the chromatin by neutralizing the positive charge of histone lysine residues, and by providing binding platforms for “reader” proteins. The bromodomain (BRD) has long been thought to be the sole protein module that recognizes acetylated histones. Recently, we identified the YEATS domain of AF9 as a novel acetyllysine-binding module, and showed that the ENL YEATS domain is an essential acetyl-histone reader in acute myeloid leukemias. The human genome encodes four YEATS domain proteins, including GAS41; however, the importance of the GAS41 YEATS domain, in human cancer remains largely unknown. Here we report that GAS41 is frequently amplified in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is required for cancer cell proliferation, survival, and transformation. Biochemical and crystal structural studies demonstrate that GAS41 binds to histone H3 acetylated on H3K27 and H3K14, a specificity that is distinct from that of AF9 or ENL. ChIP-seq analyses in lung cancer cells reveal that GAS41 colocalizes with H3K27ac and H3K14ac on the promoters of actively transcribed genes. Depletion of GAS41 or disruption of the interaction between its YEATS domain and acetylated histones impairs the association of histone variant H2A.Z with chromatin, and consequently, suppresses cancer cell growth and survival both in vitro and in vivo. Overall, our study identifies GAS41 as a histone acetylation reader that controls a transcriptional program essential for NSCLC tumorigenesis by modulating histone H2A.Z deposition.

BAP1 links epigenetic regulation of ferroptosis to tumor suppression

Project description:Compared to the well-established roles of apoptosis in tumor suppression, the roles and regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death, in tumor biology remain much less understood. BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) encodes a nuclear de-ubiquitinating (DUB) enzyme to reduce histone 2A ubiquitination (H2Aub) on chromatin, and is a tumor suppressor in several human cancers. Here, integrated transcriptomic, epigenomic, and cancer genomic analyses link BAP1 to metabolism-related biological processes, including oxidative stress response, and identify cystine transporter SLC7A11 as a BAP1-repressed target gene with high relevance to BAP1-mediated tumor suppression in human cancers. Functional studies reveal that BAP1, in a DUB-dependent manner, decreases H2Aub occupancy on the SLC7A11 promoter and represses SLC7A11 expression, and that BAP1 inhibits cystine uptake and promotes ferroptosis through repressing SLC7A11 expression. Finally, we show that BAP1 inhibits tumor development partly through SLC7A11, and that cancer-associated BAP1 mutants lose their abilities to repress SLC7A11 and to promote ferroptosis. Together, the results of our study show that BAP1 executes its tumor suppression function at least partly through its regulation of SLC7A11 and ferroptosis, and uncover a previously unappreciated mechanism coupling ferroptosis to tumor suppression.

Gas41 links histone acetylation to H2A.Z deposition and stem cell identity maintenance

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is essential for maintaining the identity of embryonic stem cell (ESC) by keeping bivalent developmental genes at a poised state. However, how H2A.Z is deposited into the bivalent domains remains unknown. In mammals, two chromatin-remodeling complexes, Tip60/p400 and SRCAP, exchange the canonical histone H2A for H2A.Z in the chromatin. Here we show that Glioma Amplified Sequence 41 (Gas41), a shared subunit of the two H2A.Z-depositing complexes, functions as a reader of histone acetylation and recruits Tip60/p400 and SRCAP to deposit H2A.Z into specific chromatin regions including bivalent domains. The YEATS domain of Gas41 bound to acetylation on histone H3K27 and H3K14 both in vitro and in cells. Crystal structure of the Gas41 YEATS domain in complex with the H3K27ac peptide revealed that, similar to the AF9 and ENL YEATS domains, Gas41 YEATS forms a serine-lined aromatic cage for Kac recognition; mutations of either the aromatic residues of YEATS domain or the nearby residue of H3K27 abrogated the interaction. In mESCs, knockdown of Gas41 led to cell differentiation as the result of derepression of differentiation genes. Importantly, the differentiated morphology was rescued by expressing wild type Gas41, but not the YEATS domain mutated counterparts that do not recognize histone acetylation. Mechanically, we found that Gas41 depletion led to reduction of H2A.Z levels and a concomitant reduction of H3K27me3 levels at the promoters of a subset of bivalent genes. Together, our study identifies the Gas41 YEATS domain as a reader of histone acetylation and establishes a link between histone acetylation and H2A.Z deposition in the maintenance of ESC identity.

EZH2 protects mucosal melanoma from ferroptosis via the KLF14-SLC7A11 signaling pathway (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Background: Mucosal melanoma (MM) is epidemiologically, biologically, and molecularly distinct from cutaneous melanoma. Current treatment strategies have failed to significantly improve the prognosis for MM patients. This study aims to identify therapeutic targets and develop combination strategies by investigating the mechanisms underlying the tumorigenesis and progression of MM. Methods: We analyzed the copy number amplification of EZH2 in 547 melanoma patients and investigated its correlation with clinical prognosis. Utilizing cell lines, organoids, and patient-derived xenograft models, we assessed the impact of EZH2 on cell proliferation and sensitivity to ferroptosis. Further, we explored the mechanisms of ferroptosis resistance associated with EZH2 by conducting RNA sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing. Results: EZH2 copy number amplification was closely associated with malignant phenotype and poor prognosis in MM patients. EZH2 was essential for MM cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, genetic perturbation of EZH2 rendered MM cells sensitized to ferroptosis. Combination treatment of EZH2 inhibitor with ferroptosis inducer significantly inhibited the growth of MM. Mechanistically, EZH2 inhibited the expression of KLF14, which binds to the promoter of SLC7A11 to repress its transcription. Loss of EZH2 therefore reduced the expression of SLC7A11, leading to reduced intracellular SLC7A11-dependent glutathione synthesis to promote ferroptosis. Conclusion: Our findings not only establish EZH2 as a biomarker for MM prognosis, but also highlight the EZH2-KLF14-SLC7A11 axis as a potential target for MM treatment.
