Negative regulation of RUNX3 activity by G9a-mediated protein methylation in hypoxia [array]


ABSTRACT: Chronic hypoxia inhibits apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in cancer cells, leading to cell survival, proliferation and angiogenesis. The mechanism for anti-apoptosis and cell proliferation in hypoxic cancer cells is still elusive. Here, we showed that hypoxia inactivates Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3), which is known to play as a tumor suppressor to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in various cancers. RUNX3 is methylated under hypoxic conditions at lysines (K) 129 and 171 through its interaction with methyltranferase G9a. Gene expression profiling revealed that the mutations of K129 and 171 in RUNX3 induced the expression of genes related to apoptosis and cell cycle arrest under hypoxic conditions, indicating critical roles of the RNUX methylation in anti-apoptosis and cell proliferation. Moreover, K129 and 171 mutants, compared to G9a or G9a+RUNX3 control, showed significant reduction in apoptotic ability and tumor progression in xenograft models. Therefore, G9a-dependent methylation of RUNX3 is a novel target to inhibit cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis under hypoxic conditions during tumorigenesis.
