Project description:Over 90% of chondroblastomas contain a heterozygous mutation replacing lysine 36 with methionine (K36M) in the histone H3 variant H3.3. The role of the H3.3K36M mutation in tumorigenesis of this typically benign bone tumor with high recurrence rates is unknown. Here, we show that H3K36 di- and tri-methylation (me2 and me3) levels are reduced globally in chondroblastomas, as well as in chondrocytes stably expressing the H3.3K36M mutation because the H3.3M36 mutation protein inhibits the activity of lysine methyl transferases, MMSET and SetD2. Remarkably, at gene bodies, H3K36me2 increases and H3K36me3 decreases, which correlates with elevated and reduced expression of the underlying genes, respectively. Genes with altered H3K36me2/me3 and gene expression are associated with cancer pathways and chondrocyte differentiation. Chondrocytes harboring the H3.3K36M mutation exhibit cancer-associated cellular phenotypes and delayed chondrocyte differentiation associated with reduced Bmp2 and Runx2 expression. Exogenous Bmp2 partially rescued the delays in chondrocyte differentiation. Thus, H3.3K36M mutant proteins dominantly reprogram H3K36me2/me3 and chondrocyte gene expression, inhibiting terminal chondrocyte differentiation and contributing to tumorigenesis.

Project description:We report the genome wide distribution of the three states of H3K79 methylation (H3K79me1/me2/me3) and H3K27me3 in mouse lineage negative Sca-1 positive Kit positive cells (LSKs), granulocyte macrophage progenitors (GMPs) and LSK derived MLL-AF9 leukemias in the presence or absence of the Af10 OM-LZ domain. Legend- MIT:MSCV-IRES-tdTomato (Empty vector control) and CRE (MIT vector with the Cre recombinase). We examined the H3K79 me1,me2,me3 and H3K27me3 profiles by ChIP-seq in lineage negative Sca-1 positive, Kit positive (LSK) cells, granulocyte macrophage progenitors (GMPs) and bone marrow cells from sacrificed terminally ill secondary MLL-AF9 positive leukemic mice. In case of the MLL-AF9 leukemias, the ChIP-seq experiments were performed in 2 conditions in the presence or absence of the Dot1l interacing octapeptide-motif leucine zipper (OM-LZ) domain of Af10. For the leukemia experiments, leukemias derived from the Af10 OM-LZ homozygous floxed background were transduced with MSCV-IRES-tdTomato control vector (MIT) or its Cre-recombinase expressing counterparts (CRE). Subsequently, we sorted tdTomato positive cells and injected them into sub-lethally irradiated syngenic secondary recipient mice. Seconday leukemias obtained from these MIT or CRE expressing cells were used for ChIP -seq studies.

Project description:The discovery of H3K27M mutations in pediatric gliomas marked a new chapter in cancer epigenetics. Numerous studies have investigated the effect of this mutation on H3K27 trimethylation, but only recently have we started to realize its additional effects on the epigenome. Here, we use isogenic glioma H3K27M(+/-) cell lines to investigate H3K27 methylation and its interaction with H3K36 and H3K9 modifications. We describe a “Step Down” effect of H3K27M on the distribution of H3K27 methylation: me3 is reduced to me2, me2 is reduced to me1, while H3K36me2/3 delineate the boundaries for the spread of H3K27me marks. We also observe a replacement of H3K27me2/3 silencing by H3K9me3. Using a computational simulation, we explain our observations by reduced effectiveness of PRC2 and constraints imposed on deposition of H3K27me by antagonistic H3K36 modifications. Our work further elucidates the effect of H3K27M in gliomas, as well as general principles of deposition of H3K27 methylation.

Project description:Histone H3K36 can be added up to three methyl groups to form mono-, di-, and tri-methylation states. Recent study has shown that Set2 can suppress a specific group of antisense transcripts, which largely depends on the presence of H3K36 methylation. However, whether different methylation states possess distinct regulatory mechanisms on antisense transcripts is still unclear. In this study, we identified two yeast mutants that lack H3K36 di-methylation and tri-methylation, respectively. We also identified novel antisense transcripts in the absence of Set2 with own bioinformatics pipeline. Our study showed that the expression of these antisense transcripts does not affect the expression of corresponding sense genes. Different H3K36 methylation states (me2/me3) are not specific for the regulation of antisense expression, implying a co-regulation mechanism between them. Altogether, our study developed a method to identify new antisense transcripts, examined the potential effect of H3K36 di-methylation and tri-methylation on production of antisense transcripts. This study would shed light on the mechanism underlying how H3K36 methylation functions in the production of antisense transcripts.

Project description:ObjectiveAberrant activity of androgen receptor (AR) is the primary cause underlying development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa) and castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). Androgen signaling regulates gene transcription and lipid metabolism, facilitating tumor growth and therapy resistance in early and advanced PCa. Although direct AR signaling inhibitors exist, AR expression and function can also be epigenetically regulated. Specifically, lysine (K)-specific demethylases (KDMs), which are often overexpressed in PCa and CRPC phenotypes, regulate the AR transcriptional program.MethodsWe investigated LSD1/UTX inhibition, two KDMs, in PCa and CRPC using a multi-omics approach. We first performed a mitochondrial stress test to evaluate respiratory capacity after treatment with MC3324, a dual KDM-inhibitor, and then carried out lipidomic, proteomic, and metabolic analyses. We also investigated mechanical cellular properties with acoustic force spectroscopy.ResultsMC3324 induced a global increase in H3K4me2 and H3K27me3 accompanied by significant growth arrest and apoptosis in androgen-responsive and -unresponsive PCa systems. LSD1/UTX inhibition downregulated AR at both transcriptional and non-transcriptional level, showing cancer selectivity, indicating its potential use in resistance to androgen deprivation therapy. Since MC3324 impaired metabolic activity, by modifying the protein and lipid content in PCa and CRPC cell lines. Epigenetic inhibition of LSD1/UTX disrupted mitochondrial ATP production and mediated lipid plasticity, which affected the phosphocholine class, an important structural element for the cell membrane in PCa and CRPC associated with changes in physical and mechanical properties of cancer cells.ConclusionsOur data suggest a network in which epigenetics, hormone signaling, metabolite availability, lipid content, and mechano-metabolic process are closely related. This network may be able to identify additional hotspots for pharmacological intervention and underscores the key role of KDM-mediated epigenetic modulation in PCa and CRPC.

Project description:Methionine addiction, found in all types of cancer investigated, is because of the overuse of methionine by cancer cells for excess transmethylation reactions. In the present study, we compared the histone H3 lysine-methylation status and degree of malignancy between methionine-addicted cancer cells and their isogenic methionine-independent revertants, selected by their growth in low concentration of methionine. The methionine-independent revertans can grow on low levels of methionine or independently of exogenous methionine using methionine precursors, as do normal cells. In the methionine-independent revertants, the excess levels of trimethylated histone H3 lysine marks found in the methionine-addicted parental cancer cells were reduced or lost, and their tumorigenicity and experimental metastatic potential in nude mice were also highly reduced. Methionine addiction of cancer is linked with malignancy and hypermethylation of histone H3 lysines. The results of the present study thus provide a unique framework to further understand a fundamental basis of malignancy.
