RBPMS inhibits bladder cancer migration and invasion by downregulating the MYC pathway through alternative splicing of ANKRD10

ABSTRACT: RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are pivotal mediators of the alternative splicing (AS) machinery of pre-mRNA, allowing the generation of diverse protein structures and functions from a single gene. Research has demonstrated that the AS process in bladder cancer (BLCA) is significantly dysregulated and plays a crucial role in the development, progression, aggressiveness, and therapeutic resistance of this disease. We conducted comprehensive screening and analysis of the TCGA-BLCA cohort, specifically focusing on genes with significant differences in expression levels between carcinoma and adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Among the 500 differentially expressed genes, 5 RNA-binding proteins were identified. Only the RNA-binding protein mRNA processing factor (RBPMS) demonstrated a consistent downregulation in BLCA and was correlated with an unfavorable prognosis for affected patients. Subsequent in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that RBPMS exerted inhibitory effects on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway and the migratory potential of BLCA cells. RNA-Seq analysis identified ANKRD10 as a key target mRNA regulated by RBPMS in BLCA. RBPMS depletion in BLCA cells resulted in AS of ANKRD10 and increased ANKRD10-2 expression. ANKRD10-2 functioned as a transcriptional co-activator of MYC proteins, thereby augmenting their transcriptional activity. Furthermore, ANKRD10-2 knockdown significantly rescued the migration enhancement induced by RBPMS depletion in BLCA cells. Taken together, this study revealed a mechanism whereby RBPMS suppresses the migration and invasion of BLCA cells by attenuating MYC pathway activity via the AS of ANKRD10.

Project description:Background: Modulation of mRNA splicing acts as an important layer of gene regulation, in addition to transcriptional regulation and epigenetic modifications. RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play essential roles in mediating RNA splicing and are key regulators of heart development and function. Our previous studies demonstrated that RBPMS (RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing) regulates cardiac development through modulating mRNA splicing during embryogenesis. Here we explored the postnatal function of RBPMS in the heart. Methods: We ablated Rbpms in the heart by generating a cardiac-specific knockout mouse line (Myh6-Cre, Rbpmsfl/fl), and evaluated its cardiac functions by histology, echocardiography, and gene expression. Paired-end RNA sequencing and RT-PCR were performed to identify and validate splicing targets of RBPMS in adult mouse hearts. Proximity-dependent Biotin Identification (BioID) assay and mass spectrometry analysis were performed to identify RBPMS binding partners. We also measured contractility and calcium fluxes in isolated mouse cardiomyocytes, and contractile forces of cardiac papillary muscle. Human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) were also used as a model to explore the influence of RBPMS on contractility of human cardiomyocytes. Results: he absence of Rbpms in the heart led to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure, causing early death in mice. Mice with cardiac-specific knockout of Rbpms showed myocardium noncompaction with reduced cardiomyocyte number at the neonatal stage and developed DCM with pervasive myocardial fibrosis in adulthood. We found that RBPMS mediates a largely distinct RNA splicing profile in adult mouse hearts compared to neonatal hearts, indicating a stage-specific modulation of alternative RNA splicing by RBPMS. In adult hearts, RBPMS mainly influenced alternative splicing of genes associated with sarcomere structures and cardiomyocyte contraction, such as Ttn, Pdlim5 and Nexn, to generate new protein isoforms. In neonatal hearts, RBPMS influenced the splicing of cytoskeletal genes. RBMPS was associated with spliceosome factors and other RNA binding proteins that play important roles in the heart, such as RBM20 and GATA4. Importantly, we found that the absence of Rbpms caused severe cardiomyocyte contractile defects and reduced calcium sensitivity in both mouse and hiPSC-CMs. Our results demonstrated that Rbpms is crucial for postnatal cardiac function and cardiomyocyte contractility by regulating RNA alternative splicing. Conclusions: Loss of Rbpms in the heart causes reduced cardiomyocyte number and impaired cardiomyocyte contraction, leading to DCM and heart failure.
