The tumor suppressor gene rap1GAP is silenced by mir-101-mediated EZH2 overexpression in invasive squamous cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Rap1GAP is a critical tumor suppressor gene that is down-regulated in multiple aggressive cancers such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and pancreatic cancer. However, the mechanistic basis of rap1GAP down-regulation in cancers is poorly understood. By employing an integrative approach, we demonstrate polycomb-mediated repression of rap1GAP that involves EZH2, a histone methyltransferase in head and neck cancers. We further concomitant down-regulation of rap1GAP in head and neck cancers. EZH2 represses rap1GAP by facilitating the trimethylation of H3K27, a mark of gene repression, and also hypermethylation of rap1GAP promoter. These results provide a conceptual framework involving a microRNA-oncogene-tumor suppressor axis to understand head and neck cancer progression.

Identification of GNG7 as An Epigenetically Silenced Gene in Head and Neck Cancer by Gene Expression Profiling

Project description:Silencing of tumor suppressor genes plays a vital role in head and neck carcinogenesis. Aberrant hypermethylation in the promoter region of some known or putative tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) occurs frequently during the development of various cancers including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this study we used an expanded mRNA expression profiling approach followed by microarray expression analysis to identify epigenetically inactivated genes in HNSCC. Two HNSCC cell lines were treated with 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine followed by microarray analysis to identify epigenetically silenced genes in HNSCC. 1960, 614, and 427 genes were upregulated in HNSCC cell lines JHU-012, JHU-011 and the combination of both cell lines, respectively. HNSCC tumor and normal mucosal samples were used for gene profiling by a 47K mRNA gene expression array and we found, 7140 genes were downregulated in HNSCC tumors compared to normal mucosa as determined by microarray analysis and were integrated with cell line data. Integrative analysis defined 126 candidate genes, of which only seven genes showed differentially methylation in tumors and no methylation in normal mucosa after bisulfite sequencing. After validation by QMSP, one gene, GNG7, was confirmed as being highly methylated in tumors and unmethylated in normal mucosal and salivary rinse samples demonstrating cancer-specific methylation in HNSCC tissues. TXNIP and TUSC2 were partially methylated in tumors and normal salivary rinses but unmethylated in normal mucosa. We concluded GNG7 as a highly specific promoter methylated gene associated with HNSCC. In addition, TXNIP and TUSC2 are also potential biomarkers for HNSCC.

Genome-wide analysis reveals the repression of MORC3 on PD-L1 expression in head and neck cancer

Project description:The expression and roles of MORC3 in cancers remain largely unknown. To understand the expression and roles of MORC3 in head and neck cancer, MORC3 was knocked down in CAL 27 cells with siRNA. Total RNAs were collected for mRNA sequencing assay.

TCAB1M-oM-<M-^ZA Potential Target for Diagnosis and Therapy in Head and Neck Cancers

Project description:Previous studies indicated TCAB1, also known as WRAP53, had oncogenic feature in a certain extend. However, there is none direct study on the function of TCAB1 in tumorigenesis and development of head and neck cancers. First of all, we verified the function of TCAB1 in head and neck cancers. Knockdown TCAB1 would inhibit cell proliferation in Vitro as well as in Vivo, meanwhile, depletion TCAB1 would decrease the invasion potential of OSCC Cal-27 cells. cDNA microarray analysis showed many pathways and factors associated with occurrence and development of carcinomas were implicated in this process. Our study indicated TCAB1 might be a potential target for prognosis and therapy in head and neck cancers. Immunohistochemistry assay and western blot showed TCAB1 was overexpressed in clinical nasopharyngeal carcinoma and head and neck cell lines. Depletion endogenous TCAB1 by shRNA lentivirus in Cal-27 would verify the function of TCAB1 in cells proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, cDNA microarray was performed to detect some pathways or factors involved in the process.
