Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematologic malignancy, which is inherently related to chromatin abnormalities. Chromatin remodeling factors play an important role in the regulation of chromatin abnormalities, among which chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4) was positive-associated with poor outcomes in MM patients and an elevated level of CHD4 promoted MM cell proliferation. Mechanistically, CHD4 untwisted c-Myc G4 and regulated chromatin accessibility through ATPase domain. Additionally, CHD4 recruited c-Myc though chromatin domain and stabilized c-Myc to chromatin by liquid–liquid phase separation, which up-regulated the expression of c-Myc. Furthermore, Luteolin 7-O-glucuronide and Idarubicin were identified as potential drugs targeting ATPase domain and chromatin domain for MM by a de novo design. Our study highlights the role of CHD4 as a high-risk gene in MM and suggests that remodels cellular chromatin accessibility and activates c-Myc pathway via phase separation in MM.

Project description:Metazoan transcription factors typically regulate large numbers of genes. Here we identify via a CRISPR-Cas9 genetic screen ZNF410, a pentadactyl DNA binding protein that in human erythroid cells directly and measurably activates only one gene, the NuRD component CHD4. Specificity is conveyed by two highly evolutionarily conserved clusters of ZNF410 binding sites near the CHD4 gene with no counterparts elsewhere in the genome. Loss of ZNF410 in adult type human erythroid cell culture systems and xenotransplant settings diminishes CHD4 levels and derepresses the fetal hemoglobin genes. While previously known to be silenced by CHD4, the fetal globin genes are exposed here as among the most sensitive to reduced CHD4 levels. In vitro DNA binding assays and crystallographic studies reveal the ZNF410-DNA binding mode. ZNF410 is a remarkably selective transcriptional activator in erythroid cells whose perturbation might offer new therapeutic opportunities in the treatment of hemoglobinopathies.

Project description:Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among gynecologic tumors worldwide, with unclear underlying mechanisms of pathogenesis. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) primarily direct post-transcriptional regulation through modulating RNA metabolism. Recent evidence demonstrates that RBPs are also implicated in transcriptional control. However, the role and mechanism of RBP-mediated transcriptional regulation in tumorigenesis remain largely unexplored. Here, we show that the RBP heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein L (hnRNPL) interacts with chromatin and regulates gene transcription by forming phase-separated condensates in ovarian cancer. hnRNPL phase separation activates PIK3CB transcription and glycolysis, thus promoting ovarian cancer progression. Notably, we observe that the PIK3CB promoter is transcribed to produce a non-coding RNA which interacts with hnRNPL and promotes hnRNPL condensation. Furthermore, hnRNPL is significantly amplified in ovarian cancer, and its high expression predicts poor prognosis for ovarian cancer patients. By using cell-derived xenograft and patient-derived organoid models, we show that hnRNPL knockdown suppresses ovarian tumorigenesis. Together, our study reveals that phase separation of the chromatin-associated RBP hnRNPL promotes PIK3CB transcription and glycolysis to facilitate tumorigenesis in ovarian cancer. The formed hnRNPL-PIK3CB-AKT axis depending on phase separation can serve as a potential therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.
