Transformation of the intestinal epithelium by the MSI2 RNA binding protein

ABSTRACT: The MSI2 RNA binding protein has recently emerged as a potent oncogene playing key roles in hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis and malignant hematopoiesis. Here we demonstrate that MSI2 is expressed in the intestinal stem cell compartment, that its expression is elevated in colorectal adenocarcinomas, and that MSI2 loss of function abrogates colorectal cancer cell growth. We thus examined the oncogenic consequences of MSI2 gain of function in the intestinal epithelium with a drug inducible mouse model. Strikingly, MSI2 induction alone was sufficient to phenocopy the majority of morphological and molecular consequences of acute loss of the APC tumor suppressor in the intestinal epithelium. We demonstrate that this phenotype is independent of both the activation of the other oncogenic Musashi family member, Msi1, and of canonical Wnt pathway activation. Transcriptome-wide RNA-binding analysis indicates that MSI2 acts as a pleiotropic inhibitor of known intestinal tumor suppressors including Lrig1, Bmpr1a, Cdkn1a, and Pten. Finally, we demonstrate that inhibition of the PDK-AKT-mTORC1 axis downstream of Pten rescues oncogenic consequences of MSI2 induction. Taken together, our findings identify MSI2 as a central component in an unappreciated oncogenic pathway promoting intestinal transformation.

The Msi Family of RNA-Binding Proteins Function Redundantly as Intestinal Oncoproteins

Project description:Members of the Msi family of RNA-binding proteins have recently emerged as potent oncoproteins in a range of malignancies. MSI2 is highly expressed in hematopoietic cancers, where it is required for disease maintenance. In contrast to the hematopoietic system, colorectal cancers can express both Msi family members, MSI1 and MSI2. Here, we demonstrate that, in the intestinal epithelium, Msi1 and Msi2 have analogous oncogenic effects. Further, comparison of Msi1/2-induced gene expression programs and transcriptome-wide analyses of Msi1/2-RNA-binding targets reveal significant functional overlap, including induction of the PDK-Akt-mTORC1 axis. Ultimately, we demonstrate that concomitant loss of function of both MSI family members is sufficient to abrogate the growth of human colorectal cancer cells, and Msi gene deletion inhibits tumorigenesis in several mouse models of intestinal cancer. Our findings demonstrate that MSI1 and MSI2 act as functionally redundant oncoproteins required for the ontogeny of intestinal cancers.

RNA-Seq in hair follicle stem cell lineage

Project description:We performed RNA_Seq on purified hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs)and their direct progenty, transit amplifying cells (TACs) using temorally and spatially regulated Cre lines. Consequences of loss of Bmpr1a in either HFSC (K15-CrePGR;Bmpr1a fl/fl), or TACs (1. Shh-CreER:Bmpr1a fl/fl or 2. K15-CrePGR;Bmpr1a fl/fl derived)

Msi2 sustains the MLL leukemia stem cell regulatory program

Project description:Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) are found in most aggressive myeloid diseases and contribute to therapeutic resistance. Genetic and epigenetic alterations cause a dysregulated developmental program in leukemia. The MSI2 RNA binding protein has been previously shown to predict poor survival in leukemia. We demonstrate that the conditional deletion of Msi2 results in delayed leukemogenesis, reduced disease burden and a loss of LSC function. Gene expression profiling of the Msi2 ablated LSCs demonstrates a loss of the HSC/LSC and an increase in the differentiation program. The gene signature from the Msi2 deleted LSCs correlates with survival in AML patients. MSI2’s maintains the MLL self-renewal program by interacting with and retaining efficient translation of Hoxa9, Myc and Ikzf2. We further demonstrate that shRNA depletion of the MLL target gene Ikzf2 also contributes to MLL leukemia cell survival. Our data provides evidence that MSI2 controls efficient translation of the oncogenic LSC self-renewal program and a rationale for clinically targeting MSI2 in myeloid leukemia. RNA-Seq was performed on sorted c-Kit high leukemic cells from 2 Msi2 -/- and 2 Msi2 f/f mice.

Gene expression profile in melanomas from Pdk1-inactivated BrafV600E::Pten-/- mice

Project description:Gene expression profiling was performed to access the changes in gene expression in melanomas from Pdk1-inactivated Brafv600E::Pten-/- mice. The expression profiles of the BrafV600E::Pten-/-::Pdk1-/- were compared to the BrafV600E::Pten-/-::Pdk+/+ genotypes. The analysis has identified several important signaling pathways in Pdk1-dependent melanomagenesis. Melanoma tumors from the BrafV600E::Pten-/-::Pdk1+/+ and BrafV600E::Pten-/-::Pdk1-/- genotypes were harvested and mRNA from each group was pooled to enable four biologically replicates analysis.

Msi1 integrates APC loss and mTORC1 activation to promote intestinal stem cell transformation

Project description:Loss of the APC tumor suppressor in the intestinal epithelium initiates the majority of human colorectal adenocarcinomas. Constitutive Î²-catenin activation is thought to underlie tumorigenesis induced by loss of APC, however Î²-catenin activation alone does not recapitulate all APC-loss phenotypes, suggesting that additional pathways are required. We demonstrate that aberrant activation of the Msi1 RNA binding protein occurs upon APC loss and that constitutive Msi1 activation alone is sufficient to phenocopy APC loss in the intestinal epithelium. Msi1 elicits these effects through binding of mRNAs encoding pleiotropic tumor suppressors resulting in promiscuous activation of quiescent intestinal stem cells, proliferative expansion of the stem cell compartment, crypt fission, and blocked differentiation. Further, we find these phenotypes to be largely dependent on mTORC1 activity, and demonstrate that loss of Msi activity is sufficient to abrogate tumorigenesis in mouse and human systems. Our findings implicate Msi1 as a central coordinator of APC loss-induced intestinal stem cell transformation and adenocarcinoma progression. 2 wild-type, 2 transgenic samples
