Nucleotide stress induction of HEXIM1 suppresses melanoma by modulating cancer cell-specific gene transcription [RNA-Seq2]

ABSTRACT: Cancer metabolism has been actively studied to gain insights into tumorigenic survival mechanisms and susceptibilities. In melanoma, we identify HEXIM1, a transcription elongation regulator, as a novel melanoma suppressor that participates in nucleotide stress regulation. HEXIM1 expression is low in melanoma. Its overexpression suppresses melanoma while its inactivation accelerates tumor onset in vivo. HEXIM1 responds to nucleotide stress. Knockdown of HEXIM1 rescues neural crest and melanoma nucleotide stress phenotypes in vivo. Mechanistically, under nucleotide stress, HEXIM1 is induced to form an inhibitory complex with P-TEFb, the kinase that initiates transcription elongation, to pause transcription at tumorigenic genes. The resulting alteration in gene expression also causes anti-tumorigenic transcripts to bind to and be stabilized by HEXIM1. HEXIM1 therefore plays an important role in inhibiting cancer cell-specific gene transcription while also facilitating anti-cancer gene expression. Our study reveals a novel role for HEXIM1 in coupling nucleotide metabolism with transcriptional regulation in melanoma.

HEXIM1 is induced by DHODH inhibition to suppress melanoma [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that leflunomide, a DHODH inhibitor, disrupts neural crest development and melanoma pathogenesis via inhibiting transcription elongation. Here, we provide evidence that a transcriptional regulator, HEXIM1, is upregulated in response to leflunomide. HEXIM1 is assembled into the 7SK snRNP complex to sequester and inhibit the kinase P-TEFb. P-TEFb triggers elongation by phosphorylating RNA polymerase II and pausing factors. Knockdown of hexim in zebrafish rescues the effects of leflunomide. HEXIM1 expression is low in human melanoma. In addition, HEXIM1 overexpression can suppress melanoma onset in zebrafish. Increased HEXIM1 expression, in response to low nucleotides triggered by DHODH inhibition, sequesters P-TEFb away from melanoma pathogenesis, proliferation and cell cycle genes based on GRO-seq and ChIP-seq analyses. This reduces productive elongation at genes that maintain the tumorigenic state. Our study illustrates that HEXIM1 is a tumor suppressor that responds to cell stress, consequently inhibiting productive elongation of proliferative genes in melanoma.

Transcriptional profiling of hypoxic cells and identification of HEXIM1-dependent genes.

Project description:To identify primary response genes (PRGs) that were differently expressed within 1 hr of hypoxia exposure, we performed global transcriptional profiling using the Agilent Technologies SurePrint G3 Human GE Microarray . To identify Hexim1-dependent genes, we compare profiles of hypoxia PRGs in cells transfected with control or Hexim1 targeting double-strand siRNA HeLa cells were transfected with control and HEXIM1-targeted double-strand siRNA and 48 hr after treated with IL-1beta in combination with normoxia or hypoxia (5% CO2, 0.5% O2, balanced with N2) O for 1 hr.

HEXIM1 Overexpression Alters GATA1 Activity and Promotes Fetal Globin Expression

Project description:Erythropoiesis is a highly organized process whereby multipotent HSCs become committed to the erythroid linage and mature into enucleate erythrocytes. Recent work from our lab demonstrated that HEXIM1 is essential in the regulation of erythroid proliferation, viability and gene expression, and also promotes the expression of GATA1 target genes. New analyses of HEXIM1 overexpression (OE) in HUDEP2 cells revealed a significant increase of gamma globin production, with a higher proportion of cells expressing fetal hemoglobin. To gain insights into the mechanisms underlying the increased fetal globin expression, we performed CUT&RUN assays for Ser5 phosphorylated and total RNPII in HEXIM1 OE and control cells. Surprisingly, OE of HEXIM1 had only modest impacts on RNPII pausing, but instead lead to changes in the genes occupied by RNPII. Our results support a model where elevated HEXIM1 levels promote the pioneer activity of GATA1, and facilitate the expression of a fetal transcriptional program in adult cells in a pTEFb-dependent manner.
