LncSLERT promotes liver metastasis in colorectal cancer by down-regulating HUNK expression via RBM15-mediated m6A modification

ABSTRACT: Metastasis constitutes a hallmark of cancer and serves as the principal cause of cancer-related mortality. Nevertheless, the mechanism of liver metastasis in CRC remains incompletely clarified. This study investigates the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SLERT and its critical role in promoting liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) by downregulating HUNK expression. We found that SLERT was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues, correlating with poorer survival outcomes. Functional assays revealed that silencing SLERT inhibited CRC cell migration and invasion, while its overexpression promoted these metastatic behaviors. Mechanistic analysis showed that SLERT interacts with the RNA-binding protein RBM15, impairing its ability to stabilize HUNK mRNA, leading to decreased HUNK levels and increased metastatic potential. The cytoplasmic localization of SLERT indicates its active role in regulating gene expression within the tumor microenvironment. Collectively, these results suggest that SLERT serves as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target, indicating that targeting SLERT or restoring HUNK expression could provide novel strategies to combat liver metastasis in CRC and improve patient prognosis.

Hypoxia inhibits HUNK-mediated phosphorylation of GEF-H1 for epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition

Project description:Hypoxia regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells. However, the mechanism underlying hypoxia-mediated EMT remains largely unknow. Here, utilizing colorectal cell carcinoma (CRC) as a model, we find that HUNK inhibits EMT and suppresses metastasis of CRC cells via its substrate GEF-H1 in a kinase-dependent manner. Mechanistically, HUNK directly phosphorylates GEF-H1 at ser645 site, which activates RhoA and consequently leads to a cascade of phosphorylation of LIMK1/CFL-1, thereby stabilizing F-actin and inhibiting EMT. Moreover, hypoxia suppresses HUNK activity and dephosphorylates GEF-H1 to promote EMT. Clinically, the expression levels of both HUNK and phosphorylation of GEH-H1 ser645 are not only downregulated in CRC tissues with metastasis compared to that without metastasis, but also positively correlated among these tissues. Our findings highlight the importance of hypoxia-regulated HUNK kinase activity and phosphorylation of GEF-H1 in regulation of EMT and metastasis of CRC.

Project description:We previously identified a novel SNF1/AMPK-related protein kinase, Hunk, from a mammary tumor arising in an MMTV-neu transgenic mouse. The function of this kinase is unknown. Using targeted deletion in mice, we now demonstrate that Hunk is required for the metastasis of c-myc-induced mammary tumors, but is dispensable for normal development. Reconstitution experiments revealed that Hunk is sufficient to restore the metastatic potential of Hunk-deficient tumor cells, as well as defects in migration and invasion, and does so in a manner that requires its kinase activity. Consistent with a role for Hunk in the progression of human cancers, the human homologue of Hunk is overexpressed in aggressive subsets of carcinomas of the ovary, colon, and breast. In addition, a murine gene expression signature that distinguishes Hunk-wild type from Hunk-deficient mammary tumors predicts clinical outcome in women with breast cancer. Together, these findings establish a role for Hunk in metastasis and an in vivo function for this kinase. Hunk-deficient animals were crossed to mice harboring an MMTV-c-myc transgene (Leder et al., 1986). Hunk heterozygous, MMTV-c-myc mice were backcrossed to Hunk heterozygous animals. MMTV-c-myc female animals of each Hunk genotype were mated twice, then monitored twice weekly for mammary tumors. Mice possessing tumors with a maximum diameter of 20 mm were sacrificed and organs were examined at necropsy. Tumor nodules were identified by examination of organs through a Leica Wild MZ8 dissection microscope.

HSL119 results in gene expression changes equivalent to HUNK shRNA

Project description:The goal of this study was to determine the gene similarities and overlap between human HER2+ breast cancer cells treated with a HUNK inhibitor (HSL119) and samples engineered with HUNK shRNA (KD1 and KD2). A main objective was to determine if genes related to the AKT pathway were changed in HUNK treated or HUNK knockdown groups compared to control.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein regulates tumorigenic and metastatic properties of colorectal cancer cells driving liver metastasis

Project description:Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP), a putative positive intermediary in aryl hydrocarbon receptor-mediated signaling, is overexpressed in highly metastatic human KM12SM CRC cells, with high metastatic capacity to liver, and other highly metastatic CRC cells. Meta-analysis and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the relevance of this protein in CRC. Cellular functions and signaling mechanisms mediated by AIP were assessed by gain-of-function experiments and in vitro and in vivo experiments. A significant association of high AIP expression with poor CRC patients’ survival was observed. Gain-of-function and quantitative proteomics experiments demonstrated that AIP increased tumorigenic and metastatic properties of isogenic KM12C (poorly-metastatic) and KM12SM CRC cells. AIP overexpression dysregulated epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) markers and induced several transcription factors and Cadherin-17 activation. The former induced the signaling activation of AKT, SRC, and JNK kinases to increase adhesion, migration and invasion of CRC cells. In vivo, AIP expressing KM12 cells induced tumor growth and liver metastasis. Furthermore, KM12C (poorly-metastatic) cells ectopically expressing AIP became metastatic to liver. Our data reveal new roles for AIP in regulating proteins associated with cancer and metastasis to induce tumorigenic and metastatic properties in colon cancer cells driving liver metastasis.

Rbm15-irCLIP-seq

Project description:we performed infrared crosslinking immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (irCLIP-seq) (Zarnegar et al., 2016) for Rbm15 to directly map its binding sites on RNA. As a principle of concept, the cells were engineered to simultaneously express emGFP-Rbm15 and Xist RNA together, as Rbm15 strongly interacts with Xist A-repeat to deposit the m6A methylation downstream. Cross-linking induced truncation site (CITS or RT stops) is the main signature occurring at our irCLIP-seq datasets. RNA meta-profile plot against normalized transcripts shows that these CITSs reside across the transcript, with 2 main peaks in transcript starts and near the stop-codon regions, in agreement with the RBM15/15B binding profile in human cells (Patil et al., 2016).Motif analysis against CITSs revealed that Rbm15 binding sites prefer U-rich stretches, namely 3 or 4 consecutive Us. This is also true for crosslinking induced mutations (CIMS).

MicroRNA profiles discriminate among colon cancer metastasis

Project description:The aim of our study was to identify a microRNA signature for metastatic CRC that could predict and differentiate metastatic target organ localization. Normal and cancer tissues of three different groups of CRC patients were analyzed. RNA microarray and TaqMan Array analysis were performed on 66 italian patients with or without lymph nodes and/or liver recurrences. Data obtained with the two assays, were analyzed separately and then intersected to identify a primary CRC metastatic signature. Five differentially expressed microRNAs (hsa-miR-21, -103, -93, -31 and -566) were validated by qRT-PCR on a second group of 16 american metastatic patients. In situ hybridization was performed on the 16 american patients as well as on three distinct commercial tissues microarray (TMA), containing normal adjacent colon, the primary adenocarcinoma, normal and metastatic lymph nodes and liver. Hsa-microRNA-31,-21,-93, and-103 upregulation together with hsa-miR-566 downregulation defined the CRC metastatic signature, while in situ hybridization data identified a lymphonodal invasion profile. 33 patients had colon cancer with lymph nodes metastasis only (Any T, Any N, M0) and 15 were diagnosed with colon cancer, lymph nodes and liver metastases (Any T, Any N, M1). Separate tumor samples from the primary tumor, the metastatic lymph nodes and the liver metastasis were collected.
