A broad response to intracellular long-chain polyphosphate in human cells

ABSTRACT: Polyphosphates (PolyP) are highly anionic, linear polymers composed of long chains of inorganic phosphates linked together by phosphoanhydride bonds. PolyP chains are found in all kingdoms of life, and play roles in phosphate homeostasis, cell growth, infection, and blood coagulation. Unlike in bacteria and yeast, the mammalian enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of polyP are unknown, which presents a challenge for the study of polyP in higher eukaryotes. To overcome this, we use a system to produce polyP inside of human cells through the ectopic expression of the E. coli Ppk1 synthetic enzyme. Here, we present the results from large-scale transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of polyP producing HEK293T cells. We uncovered >350 RNAs and 14 proteins that show changes following in vivo polyP accumulation. Follow up on specific hits revealed that the internal accumulation of polyP resulted in a significant decrease in the dehydrogenase/reductase DHRS2 without a corresponding increase in p53 phosphorylation, and activation of the ERK1/2-ERG1 signaling axis. Finally, following upregulation of internal polyP we observed the relocalization and redistribution of several nuclear proteins, including chromatin bound proteins DEK, TAF10, GTF2I and the translation initiation factor eIF5b. Altogether, our work serves as a novel resource to understand the impact of increased intracellular polyP in mammalian cells.

Project description:We used our high-throughput mutagenesis screen to comprehensively identify the cis-regulatory elements that control a target splicing event from the MST1R gene that codes for the RON receptor tyrosine kinase. Skipping of alternative exon 11 results in a constitutively active isoform that promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition and thereby contributes to the invasive phenotype of tumors. First, we created a library of mutated minigenes via mutagenic PCR. Importantly, the reverse primer introduced a random barcode sequence, which labels the associated mutations. Next, the plasmid library was transfected as a pool and depending on the mutations, the transcripts exhibit changes in alternative splicing. The minigene library and the splicing outcome were analyzed by next-generation sequencing and subsequent integration of the datasets resulted in a map of splicing regulatory sites. The RNA binding proteins HNRNPH1, PRPF6, PUF60, SMU1 and SRSF2 were identified as regulators of RON exon 11 splicing. Thus, we performed RNA-seq experiments from minigene library transfected HEK293T cells under control and five knockdown conditions in order to quantify the transcript isoforms originating from the minigene library. For preparation of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) libraries, HEK293T cells were first treated with small interfering RNA (siRNA) against HNRNPH1, PRPF6, PUF60, SMU1 and SRSF2 or a non-targeting control siRNA. Next, cells were transfected with the minigene library the day after. A day later, RNA was extracted and subsequently enriched for mRNA by performing polyA selection of 20 µg of total RNA using Dynabeads® Oligo (dT)25 beads (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Reverse transcription was carried out using 500 ng of enriched mRNA under the abovementioned conditions. To prevent the formation of chimeric amplicons, the libraries were amplified using emulsion PCR (PMID: 16791213), with Phusion DNA Polymerase (NEB) and cDNA derived from polyA-selected RNA. To amplify fragments for RNA-seq, the following primers containing Illumina sequencing adaptors were used: 5′-CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGATCGGTCTCGGCATTCCTGCTGAACCGCTCTTCCGATCTNNNNNNNNNNGTTCCACTGAAGCCTGAG-3′ (forward primer) and 5′-AATGATACGGCGACCACCGAGATCTACACTCTTTCCCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTNNNNNNNNNNATAGAATAGGGCCCTCTAGA-3′ (reverse primer). PCR products were purified using Agencourt AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter). Purified products were first analysed with the TapeStation 2200 capillary gel electrophoresis instrument (Agilent) and then fluorimetrically quantified using a Qubit fluorimeter (Thermo Scientific). Sequencing was carried out on the Illumina MiSeq platform using paired-end reads of 300 nt length and a 10% PhiX spike-in to increase sequence complexity.
