P53 is a suppressor of the carcinoma-associated transcription factor FOXQ1

ABSTRACT: FOXQ1 transcription factors is highly induced in several types of carcinomas where it promotes tumour growth and metastasis, however, the molecular mechanisms leading to FOXQ1 deregulation in cancer are incompletely understood. Here, we used a CRISPR/Cas9-based genomic locus proteomics (GLoPro) to discover transcriptional regulators of FOXQ1 and identified the tumour suppressor p53 as a transcriptional repressor of FOXQ1 expression. ChIP-qPCR as well as complementary gain and loss-of-function assays in model cell lines indicated that p53 has multiple binding sites close to the transcription start site of the FOXQ1 promoter, and that it suppresses FOXQ1 expression in various cell types. Consistently, pharmacological activation of p53 using nutlin-3 or doxorubicin reduced FOXQ1 mRNA and protein levels in colorectal cancer cell lines harboring wild type p53. In conclusion, these results suggest that mutational loss-of-function of p53, a hallmark feature of many types of cancer, de-represses FOXQ1, which accelerates tumour progression.

Project description:Despite the high prevalence and poor outcome of patients with metastatic lung cancer, the mechanisms of tumour progression and metastasis remain largely uncharacterized. We modelled human lung adenocarcinoma, which frequently harbours activating point mutations in KRAS1 and inactivation of the p53-pathway2, using conditional alleles in mice3-5. Lentiviral-mediated somatic activation of oncogenic Kras and deletion of p53 in the lung epithelial cells of KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53flox/flox mice initiates lung adenocarcinoma development4. Although tumours are initiated synchronously by defined genetic alterations, only a subset become malignant, suggesting that disease progression requires additional alterations. Identification of the lentiviral integration sites allowed us to distinguish metastatic from non-metastatic tumours and determine the gene expression alterations that distinguish these tumour types. Cross-species analysis identified the NK-2 related homeobox transcription factor Nkx2-1 (Ttf-1/Titf1) as a candidate suppressor of malignant progression. In this mouse model, Nkx2-1-negativity is pathognomonic of high-grade poorly differentiated tumours. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments in cells derived from metastatic and non-metastatic tumours demonstrated that Nkx2-1 controls tumour differentiation and limits metastatic potential in vivo. Interrogation of Nkx2-1 regulated genes, analysis of tumours at defined developmental stages, and functional complementation experiments indicate that Nkx2-1 constrains tumours in part by repressing the embryonically-restricted chromatin regulator Hmga2. While focal amplification of NKX2-1 in a fraction of human lung adenocarcinomas has focused attention on its oncogenic function6-9, our data specifically link Nkx2-1 downregulation to loss of differentiation, enhanced tumour seeding ability, and increased metastatic proclivity. Thus, the oncogenic and suppressive functions of Nkx2-1 in the same tumour type substantiate its role as a dual function lineage factor. 23 cell lines derived from primary tumor or metastasis. 6 samples analyzed to determine the effect of Nkx2-1 knockdown on gene expression
