Mutant IDH impairs chromatin binding by PDGFB to promote chromosome instability
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Non-canonical roles for growth factors in the nucleus have been previously described, but their mechanism of action and biological roles remain enigmatic. Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGFB) can drive formation of low-grade glioma and here we show that it localizes to the nucleus of human glioma cells where it binds chromatin to preserve genome stability and cell lineage. Failure of PDGFB to localize to the nucleus leads to chromosomal abnormalities, aberrant heterochromatin architecture and accelerated tumorigenesis. Furthermore, nuclear localization of PDGFB is reliant upon the expression levels and mutation status of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). Unexpectedly, we identified macrophages as the predominant source of PDGFB in human, finding that immune-derived PDGFB can localize to the nucleus of glioma cells. Collectively, these studies show that immune derived PDGFB enters the nucleus of glioma cells to maintain genomic stability, while identifying a new mechanism by which IDH mutations promote gliomagenesis.
