Functions of UHRF1 in the regulation of DNA methylation in retinoblastoma

ABSTRACT: UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1) is an epigenetic regulator that is involved in the regulation of DNA and histone methylation and many other cellular events. The UHRF1 is frequently found to be overexpressed in various human cancers, and its overexpression has been associated with pro-tumorigenic effects such as inhibition of apoptosis and high metastatic potential. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these pro-tumorigenic effects of UHRF1 overexpression in cancers still remain unclear. Retinoblastoma (Rb) is an intraocular tumor which arises from developing retina by biallelic inactivation of Rb1 gene. In this study, we uncovered that the UHRF1 is highly expressed in retinoblastoma, and genomes of retinoblastoma have differential DNA methylation patterns compared to those of normal retina, characterized by global hypomethylation and promoter hypermethylation at key tumor suppressor genes. Given the well-documented functions of UHRF1 in the regulation of DNA methylation, we hypothesized that the overexpressed UHRF1 may contribute to the aberrant DNA methylation in retinoblastoma genomes. To test our hypothesis, we profiled the genome-wide methylation patterns in normal retina and Y79 retinoblastoma cell line by MeDIP-seq, and then investigated how the methylation patterns in Y79 are affected by down-modulation of UHRF1. For identification of differentially methylated regions between the control and UHRF1 knockdown Y79 cells, we analysed three independent sets of sequencing data to unambiguously determine the effects of UHRF1 down-modulation on the methylome of Y79 retinoblastoma cells.

Tumor-promoting functions of UHRF1 in retinoblastoma

Project description:UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1) is an epigenetic regulator that is involved in the regulation of DNA and histone methylation and many other cellular events. The UHRF1 is frequently found to be overexpressed in various human cancers including retinoblastoma, and its overexpression has been associated with tumor-promoting effects such as inhibition of apoptosis and high metastatic potential. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying these tumor-promoting functions of UHRF1 in retinoblastoma still remain unclear. In this study, we uncovered that UHRF1 depletion in retinoblastoma cells sensitizes the cells to histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, augmenting apoptotic cell death. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhanced sensitivity to HDAC inhibitors in the UHRF1-depleted retinoblastoma cells, we performed the gene expression profiling in UHRF1-knockdown Y79 cells in comparison with control-knockdown cells by RNA-sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes. Our RNA-seq results revealed that UHRF1 depletion downregulates redox-responsive genes such as GSTA4 and TXN2, leading to increased intracellular oxidative stress and higher susceptibility to HDAC inhibitor treatment.

Identificaiton of novel acetylation sites in UHRF1 mediated by acetyltransferase MOF

Project description:The multi-domain protein UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like, containing PHD and RING finger domains, 1) recruits DNMT1 for DNA methylation maintenance during DNA replication. Here, we show that MOF (Males absent On the First) is an acetyltransferase of UHRF1 to acetylate UHRF1 at Lys670 in the pre-RING linker region whereas HDAC1 is a deacetylase of UHRF1 at the same site. The MOF/HDAC1-mediated acetylation in UHRF1 is cell-cycle regulated and peaks at G1/S phase, in line with the function of UHRF1 in recruiting DNMT1 to maintain DNA methylation. In addition, UHRF1 acetylation significantly enhances its E3 ligase activity and elimination of UHRF1 acetylation at these sites attenuates UHRF1-mediated H3 ubiquitination, which in turn impairs the DNMT1 recruitment and DNA methylation. Taken together, these findings not only identify MOF as a new acetyltransferase for UHRF1 but also reveal a novel mechanism underlying the regulation of DNA methylation maintenance through MOF-mediated UHRF1 acetylation.

Whole genome microarray of T lymphoma invasion and metastasis (Tiam1) silenced retinoblastoma Y79 cells

Project description:We hypothesized that Tiam1 is involved in invassiveness of retinoblastoma. The fuctional role of Tiam1 in cell progression and metastasis was tested by siRNA mediated knockdown of Tiam1 in retinoblastoma Y79 cells. The genes de-regulated in response to Tiam1 knockdown was analysed by cDNA microarray in which most of the actin cytoskeleton regulation proteins and apoptotic proteins were de-regulated. our results prove that Tiam1 modulates actin cytoskeleton and cell invasion in retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma Y79 cells were treated with Tiam1 siRNA for 48hrs and cDNA microarray was performed to analyze the genes regulated by Tiam1 silencing compared to untreated Y79 cells. Experiments were performed in triplicates.

Conservation and divergence of methylation patterning in plants and animals

Project description:Cytosine DNA methylation is a heritable epigenetic mark present in many eukaryotic organisms. While DNA methylation likely has a conserved role in gene silencing, the levels and patterns of DNA methylation appear to vary drastically among different organisms. Here, we used shotgun genomic bisulfite sequencing (BS-Seq) to compare DNA methylation in eight diverse plant and animal genomes. We found that patterns of methylation are very similar in flowering plants with methylated cytosines detected in all sequence contexts, whereas CG methylation predominates in animals. Vertebrates have methylation throughout the genome except for CpG islands. Gene body methylation is conserved with clear preference for exons in most of the organisms. Furthermore, genes appear to be the major target of methylation in Ciona and honeybee. Among the eight organisms, the green alga Chlamydomonas has the most unusual pattern of methylation, having non-CG methylation enriched in exons of genes rather than in repeats and transposons. In addition, we demonstrate that the Dnmt1 cofactor Uhrf1 has a conserved function in maintaining CG methylation in both transposons and gene bodies in the mouse, Arabidopsis, and zebrafish genomes.

Hemi-methylated DNA regulates DNA methylation inheritance through allosteric control of H3 ubiquitylation by UHRF1

Project description:DNA methylation is a heritable chromatin modification essential to mammalian development that functions with histone post-translational modifications to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression programs. The epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation requires the combined actions of DNMT1 and UHRF1, a histone- and DNA-binding RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that facilitates DNMT1 recruitment to sites of newly replicated DNA through the ubiquitylation of histone H3. UHRF1 binds DNA with modest selectivity towards hemi-methylated CpG dinucleotides (HeDNA); however, the contribution of HeDNA sensing to UHRF1 function remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the interaction of UHRF1 with HeDNA is required for DNA methylation inheritance but is dispensable for chromatin interaction, which is governed by reciprocal positive cooperativity between the UHRF1 histone- and DNA-binding domains. We further show that HeDNA functions as an allosteric regulator of UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity, directing ubiquitylation towards multiple lysines on the H3 tail adjacent to the UHRF1 histone-binding site. Collectively, our studies define a highly orchestrated epigenetic control mechanism involving modifications both to histones and DNA that facilitate UHRF1 chromatin targeting, H3 ubiquitylation, and DNA methylation inheritance.

Transcriptome analysis of Y79 retinoblastoma cells upon Lysyl oxidase propeptide (LOX-PP) overexpression

Project description:Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is an copper dependent amine oxidase enzyme involved in cross linking of collagens and elastins. Lysyl oxidase propeptide (LOX-PP) is 18 kDa region cleaved during maturation of LOX and its anti-tumorigenic role were studied in various cancers. The effect of LOX-PP overexpression in retinoblastoma cancer cells (Y79) using transient transfection of LOX-PP gene accessed for global gene deregulations. The analysis resulted in RB cancer cell death through deregulation of retinoblastoma in cancer, cell cycle, apoptosis, focal adhesion-PI3K-AKT signaling and DNA repair mechanism pathway. Further validations were done using RT-PCR and western blot analysis. Our results provide evidence that inducing apoptosis through AKT-NFκB signaling.
