Project description:Both EZH2 and NF-κB contribute to aggressive breast cancer, yet whether the two oncogenic factors have functional cross-talk in breast cancer is largely unknown. Here, we uncover an unexpected role of EZH2 in conferring the constitutive activation of NF-κB target gene expression in ER-negative basal-like breast cancer cells. This function of EZH2 is independent of its histone methyltransferase activity but requires the physical interaction with RelA/RelB to promote the expression of NF-κB targets. Intriguingly, EZH2 acts oppositely in repressing NF-κB targets in ER-positive luminal-like breast cancer cells by interacting with ER and directing repressive histone methylation. Thus, EZH2 function as a double-facet molecule in breast cancers, functioning either as a transcriptional activator or repressor of NF-κB targets, in a cell context-dependent manner. These findings reveals an additional mechanism by which EZH2 promotes breast cancer progression and also underscore the need for developing context-specific strategy for therapeutic targeting of EZH2 in breast cancers.

Project description:The histone methyltransferase EZH2 has been shown to function as a multifaceted molecule which can switch from a transcriptional repressor to an activator inducing a subset of genes that promote oncogenesis, including breast cancer. TfR-1, a key mediator in iron absorption, is highly expressed in a variety of tumors and associated with tumor grade, tumor stage and prognosis of patients. However, the known regulation mechanism of TfR-1 mainly remains on post-transcriptional level. To figure out whether TfR-1 expression is under epigenetic control, we examined the influence of EZH2 depletion and inhibition on TfR-1 expression in different subtypes of breast cancer cells. We discovered that EZH2 context-dependently modulates TfR-1 level and manipulates cellular iron uptake. Moreover, we identified TfR-1 as an NF-κB target gene which is positively regulated by EZH2 via constructing a complex with p65-p50 and transcription factor AP-1 in ER- cells. Inversely, TfR-1 is repressed by EZH2 and ER through histone methylation on its promoter in ER+ cells. These findings demonstrated an additional role of EZH2 in promoting breast cancer progression through iron homeostasis regulation and underscore the need for developing context-specific strategy for therapeutic targeting of epigenetic inhibition in breast cancer.

Project description:EZH2 has been studied most extensively in the context of PRC2-dependent gene repression. Paradoxically, accumulating evidence indicates non-canonical functions for EZH2 in cancer contexts including promoting gene expression in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells through interactions with the transcription factor NF-kB. We define a genomic profile of EZH2 and NF-kB factor RelA, RelB, and NFKB2/p52 co-localization and positive regulation of a subset of NF-kB targets and genes associated with oncogenic functions in TNBC, which is enriched in patient datasets. We demonstrate interaction between EZH2 and RelA requiring the recently identified EZH2 transactivation domain (TAD), which mediates EZH2 recruitment to and activation of certain NF-kB-dependent genes, and supports downstream stemness phenotypes in TNBC cells. Interestingly, EZH2-NF-kB positive regulation of genes and stemness does not require PRC2. This study provides new insight into pro-oncogenic regulatory functions for EZH2 in breast cancer through PRC2-independent, and NF-kB-dependent regulatory mechanisms.

Project description:Activation induced cell death (AICD) of T lymphocytes may be exploited by cancers to eliminate cytotoxic T cells (CTLs). Here, we demonstrated excessive apoptosis of tumor antigen-specific CTLs in breast and lung cancers. Interestingly, NKILA, an NF-κB interacting lncRNA, sensitizes CTLs to AICD by inhibiting NF-κB activities after their activation. In vivo, administering CTLs with NKILA silencing into immunocompromised mice with breast cancer patient derived xenografts (PDXs) effectively inhibits PDX growth by increasing CTL infiltration. Clinically, NKILA was overexpressed in the tumor specific CTLs of breast and lung cancers, which was associated with less CTL infiltration in the tumors and shorter patient survival. Our findings present the first evidence that AICD in patient tumor-specific CTLs is crucial to cancer immune evasion, and targeting NKILA in CTLs emerges as a novel anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Project description:Breast cancers with HER2 overexpression are sensitive to drugs targeting the receptor or its kinase activity. HER2-targeting drugs are initially effective against HER2- positive breast cancer, but resistance inevitably occurs. We previously found that nuclear factor kappa B is hyper-activated in the subset of HER-2 positive breast cancer cells and tissue specimens. In this study, we report that constitutively active NF-κB rendered HER2-positive cancer cells resistant to anti-HER2 drugs, and cells selected for Lapatinib resistance up-regulated NF-κB. In both circumstances, cells were anti-apoptotic and grew rapidly as xenografts. Lapatinib-resistant cells were refractory to HER2 and NF-κB inhibitors alone but were sensitive to their combination, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy. A subset of NF-κB-responsive genes was overexpressed in HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancers, and patients with this NF-κB signature had poor clinical outcome. Anti-HER2 drug resistance may be a consequence of NF-κB activation, and selection for resistance results in NF-κB activation, suggesting this transcription factor is central to oncogenesis and drug resistance. Clinically, the combined targeting of HER2 and NF-κB suggests a potential treatment paradigm for patients who relapse after anti-HER2 therapy. Patients with these cancers may be treated by simultaneously suppressing HER2 signaling and NF-κB activation. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression differences underlying the characterictic survival differences between the SKR6, SKR6-Vector, SKR6CA, and SKR6LR cell lines, which are defined as follows: SKR6: A clonal derivative of SKBR3 cells isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to enrich for elevated HER2 levels, SKR6CA: SKR6 cells retrovirally transduced with constitutively active NF-κB relA/p65 (CAp65) and selected with puromycin, SKR6 vector: SKR6 cells transduced with the pQCXIP empty retroviral vector and selected with puromycin, and SKR6LR: SKR6 cells treated with increasing lapatinib concentrations (0.2 to 5 μM) for several months.

Project description:NF-κB has an essential role in innate immune response and inflammation and is involved in cancer development and progression. We apply the SEC-PCP-SILAC method incorporating metabolic labeling, size exclusion chromatography and protein correlation profiling to construct a complex network of interactome rearrangement in response to NF-κB modulation in breast cancer cells. Our interaction network represents a complex insight into the dynamics of MCF-7 protein interactome associated with NF-κB pathway. Our dataset could serve as a basis for future studies characterizing role of NF-κB in breast cancer cellular pathways. This PRIDE project includes results from SILAC labeled and label-free replicates from the SEC-PCP-SILAC analysis of protein complexes in MCF-7 cells with inhibited and uninhibited NF-κB pathway, results from the immunoprecipitation experiment aimed at interaction partners of NF-κB factor RELA, analysis of total proteome after NF-κB inhibition, and results from SEC fractionation of untreated and unlabeled MCF-7 cells.

Project description:Proper regulation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcriptional activity is required for normal lymphocyte function, and deregulated NF-κB signaling can facilitate lymphomagenesis. We demonstrate that the API2-MALT1 fusion oncoprotein created by the recurrent t(11;18)(q21;q21) in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma induces proteolytic cleavage of NF-κB–inducing kinase (NIK) at arginine 325. NIK cleavage requires the concerted actions of both fusion partners and generates a C-terminal NIK fragment that retains kinase activity and is resistant to proteasomal degradation. The resulting deregulated NIK activity is associated with constitutive noncanonical NF-κB signaling, enhanced B cell adhesion, and apoptosis resistance. Our study reveals the gain-of-function proteolytic activity of a fusion oncoprotein and highlights the importance of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway in B lymphoproliferative disease. This study compares nine t(11;18)-positive MALT lymphomas (8 from the stomach and 1 from lung) and eight translocation negative MALT lymphomas (all from the stomach) using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). All cases were subjected to Affymetrix U133A and U133B microarray analysis. The cases used in this study are the same cases used for the study by Hamoudi et al. (2010) entitled "Differential expression of NF-kB target genes in MALT lymphoma with and without chromosome translocation: insights into molecular mechanism" with GEO reference number: GSE18736 and PubMed ID: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20520640 All cases were subjected to non-specific filtering to eliminate non-variant probes, then the U133A and U133B probes were collapsed and the collapsed set was subjected to GSEA using the NF-kB target gene set as described in Hamoudi et al. (2010) study mentioned above. The 34 samples in this study are identical to the ones done in the previous series except that the gene set enrichment was done on just those 34 samples and not the complete set.

Project description:CD95 expression is preserved in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) and CD95 loss in these cells triggers the induction of a pro-inflammatory program promoting the recruitment of cytotoxic NK cells impairing tumor growth. Herein, we identify a novel interaction partner of CD95, Kip1 ubiquitination-promoting complex protein 2 (KPC2) using an unbiased proteomic approach. Independently of CD95L, CD95/KPC2 interaction contributes to the partial degradation of p105 (NFκB1) and the subsequent generation of p50 homodimers, which transcriptionally represses NF-κB-driven gene expression. Mechanistically, KPC2 interacts with the C-terminal region of CD95 and serves as an adaptor to recruit RelA (p65) and KPC1, which acts as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase promoting the degradation of p105 into p50. Loss of CD95 in TNBC cells releases KPC2, limiting the formation of the NF-κB inhibitory homodimer complex (p50/p50), promoting NF-κB activation and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, that could account for the immune landscape remodeling in TNBC cells

Project description:Pseudogenes are thought to be inactive gene sequences, but recent evidence of extensive pseudogene transcription raised the question of potential function. Here we discover and characterize the sets of lncRNAs induced by inflammatory signaling via TNFα. TNFα regulates hundreds of lncRNAs, including 54 pseudogene lncRNAs, several of which show exquisitely selective expression in response to specific cytokines and microbial components in a NF-κB-dependent manner. Lethe, a pseudogene lncRNA, is selectively induced by proinflammatory cytokines via NF-κB or glucocorticoid receptor agonist, and functions in negative feedback signaling to NF-κB. Lethe interacts with NF-κB subunit RelA to inhibit RelA DNA binding and target gene activation. Lethe level decreases with organismal age, a physiological state associated with increased NF-κB activity. These findings suggest that expression of pseudogenes lncRNAs are actively regulated and constitute functional regulators of inflammatory signaling. RNA profiles of wild type (WT) MEFs treated with TNF-alpha were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx. Examination of H3K4me3 histome modification in MEF.
