One deficiency, different outcomes: Succinate dehydrogenase loss in chromaffin cell vs. fibroblast models of paraganglioma

ABSTRACT: Heterozygosity for loss‐of‐function alleles of the genes encoding the four subunits of succinate dehydrogenase (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD), as well as the SDHAF2 assembly factor predispose affected individuals to pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), two rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise from neural crest-derived paraganglia. Tumorigenesis results from loss of the remaining functional Sdhx gene copy, leading to a cell with no functional SDH and a defective tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It is believed that the subsequent accumulation of succinate competitively inhibits multiple dioxygenase enzymes that normally suppress hypoxic signaling and demethylate histones and DNA, ultimately leading to increased expression of genes involved in angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Why SDH loss is selectively tumorigenic in neuroendocrine cells remains poorly understood. Here we characterize two available murine SDH-loss cell lines, one representing PPGL-susceptible chromaffin cells and the other PPGL-resistant fibroblasts. Consistent with previous analyses, we find strikingly different effects of SDH loss in these two cellular contexts, including evidence of residual Complex I activity only in SDH-loss immortalized mouse chromaffin cells. This work supports the hypothesis that chromaffin cells may uniquely tolerate SDH loss and sets the stage for analyses of unique vulnerabilities in SDH-loss chromaffin cells.

Expression data from SDH-disabled GIST

Project description:Pediatric GIST commonly harbors a disabled succinate dehydrogenase complex (SDH), which yields tumors with highly conserved genomes but characteristic epigenomic signatures. Mysteriously, nearly half of such SDH-deficient GIST, including tumors from Carney Triad patients, lack identifiable mutations in SDH component genes and genes required for complex assembly (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF, termed SDHx). Genomic sequencing coupled with DNA methylation and transcriptional profiling have exposed SDHC promoter-specific CpG island epimutation and concomitant gene silencing in the majority of SDHx-WT GIST.

Investigation of post-translational histone modifications in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas

Project description:Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are neuroendocrine tumours affecting a range of body sites and have the highest degree of heritability of any cancer type. SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD and SDHAF2 (collectively SDHx) code for subunits of succinate dehydrogenase, an enzyme complex in the tricarboxylic cycle that converts succinate to fumarate. Mutations in all SDHx genes play a role in PPGL pathogenesis and completely abolish succinate dehydrogenase enzymatic activity causing intracellular accumulation of oncometabolites which competitively inhibit 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases. This is a family of enzymes includes TET DNA demethylases and Jumonji C (JmjC) domain-containing histone demethylates. We and others have found that the inhibition of DNA demethylation leads to profound global DNA hypermethylation which influences expression of genes responsible for important clinical characteristics of these tumours but cannot explain the full spectrum of transcriptomic changes. We profiled histone PMTs to complement DNA methylation data and fully characterise the epigenome of these tumours.

The SDHB Arg230His mutation causing familial paraganglioma alters glycolysis in a new Caenorhabditis elegans model

Project description:The conserved B-subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) participates in the TCA cycle and mitochondrial electron transport. The Arg230His mutation in SDHB causes heritable pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL). In C. elegans, we generated an in vivo PPGL model (SDHB-1 Arg244His; equivalent to human Arg230His) which manifests delayed development, shortened lifespan, attenuated ATP production and reduced mitochondrial number. Although succinate is elevated in both missense and null sdhb-1(gk165) mutants, transcriptomic comparison suggests very different causal mechanisms that are supported by metabolic analysis where only Arg244His (not null) worms elevate lactate/pyruvate levels, pointing to a missense-induced, ‘Warburg’-like aberrant glycolysis. In silico predictions of the SDHA-B dimer structure demonstrate that Arg230His modifies the catalytic cleft despite the latter’s remoteness from the mutation site. We hypothesise that Arg230His SDHB mutation rewires metabolism, reminiscent of metabolic reprogramming in cancer. Our tractable model provides a novel tool to investigate the metastatic propensity of this familial cancer and our approach may illuminate wider SDH pathology.

SDHA/B reduction promotes hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation by removing cullin1 NEDDylation and stabilizing YAP/TAZ

Project description:Background & Aims: Succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH) is frequently found to be diminished in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient samples, and SDH reduction is associated with elevated succinate level and poor prognosis in HCC patients. But the underlying mechanisms about how impaired SDH activity promotes HCC malignancy remain unclear. Approach & Results: In this study, we observed remarkable downregulations of SDH subunits A and B (SDHA/B) in chronic liver injury-induced murine HCC models and HCC patient samples. Subsequent RNA sequencing, hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analyses of HCC samples revealed that Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) were significantly upregulated in HCC, with their levels inversely correlating with that of SDHA/B. The protein stability of YAP/TAZ was greatly enhanced in SDHA/B-depleted HCC cells along with accumulation of succinate. Further mechanistic analyses demonstrated that impaired activity of SDHA/B resulted in succinate accumulation which facilitated the removal of NEDDylation on cullin1, therefore disrupted the E3 ubiquitin ligase SCFβ-TrCP complex, consequently led to YAP/TAZ stabilization and activation in HCC cells. The accelerated in vitro cell proliferation and in vivo tumor growth caused by SDHA/B reduction or succinate exposure were largely dependent on the aberrant activation of YAP/TAZ. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that SDHA/B reduction promotes HCC proliferation by preventing the proteasomal degradation of YAP/TAZ through modulating cullin1 NEDDylation, thus addicts SDH-deficient HCC cells to YAP/TAZ pathway and renders these cells vulnerable to YAP/TAZ inhibition. Our findings warrant further investigation on the therapeutic effects of targeting YAP/TAZ in HCC patients displaying reduced SDHA/B or elevated succinate levels.

iMEF SDHC-loss RNA-seq time course

Project description:We have developed a tet-inducible immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast (iMEF) cell culture model of SDH-loss paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma in which silencing gene rearrangement of the Sdhc floxed allele is driven by doxycycline-dependent expression of cre-recombinase from a tet-inducible promoter (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl). Using this model and an isogenic Sdhc wt control line (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt), we have characterized the time-course of Sdhc gene rearrangement, protein loss, and succinate accumulation following induction with doxycycline. Using RNA-seq, we have quantified changes in gene expression due to succinate accumulation using our Sdhc -/- cell line. Through a time-course experimental design, we have grown R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl (experimental) and R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt (control) iMEFs in standard DMEM media containing 10% FBS and quantified transcriptional changes in these cells as a function of time after triggering SDHC gene rearrangement via doxycycline exposure.

Transcription profiling of human pheochromocytomas of various genetic origins

Project description:Pheochromocytomas are neural crest-derived tumors that arise from inherited or sporadic mutations in at least six independent genes: RET, VHL, NF1, and subunits B, C and D of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH). The proteins encoded by these multiple genes regulate distinct functions. To identify molecular interactions between the distinct pathways we performed expression profiling of a large cohort of pheochromocytomas. We show here a functional link between tumors with VHL mutations and those with disruption of the genes encoding for succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) subunits B (SDHB) and D (SDHD). A transcription profile of reduced oxidoreductase is detected in all three of these tumor types, together with an angiogenesis/hypoxia profile typical of VHL dysfunction. The oxidoreductase defect, not previously detected in VHL-null tumors, is explained by suppression of the SDHB protein, a component of mitochondrial complex II. The decrease in SDHB is also noted in tumors with SDHD mutations. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function analyses show that the link between hypoxia signals (via VHL) and mitochondrial signals (via SDH) is mediated by HIF1?. These findings explain the shared features of pheochromocytomas with VHL and SDH mutations and suggest an additional mechanism for increased HIF1? activity in tumors.

iMEF SDHC-loss RRBS time course

Project description:We have developed a tet-inducible immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast (iMEF) cell culture model of SDH-loss paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma in which silencing gene rearrangement of the Sdhc floxed allele is driven by doxycycline-dependent expression of cre-recombinase from a tet-inducible promoter (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl). Using this model and an isogenic Sdhc wt control line (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt), we have characterized the time-course of Sdhc gene rearrangement, protein loss, and succinate accumulation following induction with doxycycline. Using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), we have quantified changes in the genome-wide distribution of cytosine/5’-methyl-cytosine due to succinate accumulation using our Sdhc -/- cell line. Through a time-course experimental design, we have grown R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl (experimental) and R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt (control) iMEFs in standard DMEM media containing 10% FBS and quantified DNA methylation changes in these cells as a function of time after triggering SDHC gene rearrangement via doxycycline exposure.

Role of Hfq in Iron Dependent and Independent Gene Regulation in Neisseria meningitidis

Project description:In Neisseria meningitidis iron responsive gene regulation is mediated primarily by the Ferric Uptake Regulator (Fur) protein. When complexed with iron, Fur represses gene expression by preventing transcription initiation. Fur can also indirectly activate gene expression via the repression of regulatory small RNAs (sRNA). One such Fur-and iron-regulated sRNA, NrrF, was previously identified in N. meningitidis and shown to repress expression of the sdhA and sdhC genes encoding subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. In the majority of Gram-negative bacteria sRNA-mediated regulation requires a cofactor RNA-binding protein (Hfq) for proper gene regulation and stabilization. In this study we examined the role of Hfq in NrrF-mediated regulation of the succinate dehydrogenase genes in N. meningitidis and the effect of an hfq- mutation on iron-responsive gene regulation more broadly. We first demonstrated that the stability of Nrrf as well as the regulation of sdhC and sdhA in vivo was unaltered in the hfq- mutant. Secondly, we established that iron responsive gene regulation of the Fur-regulated sodB gene was dependent on Hfq. Finally, we demonstrate that in N. meningitidis Hfq functions to control expression of both ORFs and intergenic regions via iron independent mechanisms. Collectively these studies demonstrate that in N. meningitidis iron and NrrF mediated regulation of sdhC and sdhA can occur independently of Hfq, although Hfq functions more globally to control regulation of other N. meningitidis genes primarily by iron-independent mechanisms. RNA was isolated from wild-type MC58 Neisseria meningitidis, from an hfq- mutant, and from a complemented hfq- mutant under both iron-replete and iron-deplete conditions. Three biological replicates were analyzed for each strain and condition were analyzed.
