Project description:Asymmetric demethylation at histone H3 arginine 2 by PRMT6 in gastric cancer progression

Project description:Purpose: Dysregulation of histone H3 arginine (R) methylation is still unknown in primary cancer including gastric cancer (GC), although PRMT6 plays a role in asymmetric dimethylation at H3R2 (H3R2me2as) in cancer cells. The objective is to clarify biological and molecular roles of H3R2me2as-PRMT6 pathway in GC. Experimental Design: We assessed H3R2me2as and PRMT6 levels in 133 primary GC tissues by immunohistochemistry. We analyzed biological functions of PRMT6 in GC cell lines using a lentivirus overexpression and CRISPR/Cas9-based knockout of PRMT6 systems. Results: Increased H3R2me2as was found in 68 GC (51.1%) cases and independently correlated with poor prognosis. PRMT6 was overexpressed in 70 (52.6%) GC, which strongly correlated with the H3R2me2as levels (P<0.001). PRMT6 overexpression in GC cells enhanced global H3R2me2as levels, cell invasiveness in vitro, while PRMT6-knockout GC cells suppressed these effects. PRMT6 knockout also impaired tumorigenicity in vivo. Microarray and ChIP assays demonstrated that PRMT6-knockout GC cells decreased the H3R2me2as levels at the promoter regions of PCDH7, SCD and IGFBP5, resulting in up-reregulation of their gene expression. PRMT6 recruited at the regions of PCDH7 and SCD in the PRMT6-overexpressed cells. Knockdown of tumor suppressor PCDH7 in PRMT6-knockout GC cells elevated cell migration and invasion. PRMT6 expression inversely correlated with PCDH7 expression in primary GC (P=0.021). Conclusions: H3R2me2as is a strong prognostic indicator of GC patients. Global and gene-specific H3R2me2as are maintained by PRMT6. PRMT6-overexpressed GC cells may acquire invasiveness through direct inhibition of PCDH7 by increasing H3R2me2as activity. Thus, PRMT6-H3R2me2as pathway is a promising new therapeutic target in GC.

Project description:Asymmetric demethylation at histone H3 arginine 2 by PRMT6 in gastric cancer progression (AGS cell line)

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (PRMT6) is an epigenetic regulator of fundamental cellular processes, such as gene expression and DNA repair. Asymmetric dimethylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2a) is the major histone modification catalyzed by PRMT6. To identify the genome-wide deposition and transcriptional impact of H3R2me2a, we established PRMT6 deletion in a human cell model of neural differentiation. These knockout cells show severe neural differentiation defects. ChIP-seq profiling reveals that H3R2me2a is present at promoter as well as non-promoter sites in a PRMT6-dependent manner. Loss of H3R2me2a causes enhanced H3K4me3 deposition and target gene transcription supporting a genome-wide repressive nature of H3R2me2a. Intriguingly, the non-promoter H3R2me2a peaks co-localize with active enhancer marks, such as H3K4me1 and H3K27ac.

Project description:Arginine methylation catalyzed by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is a prevalent posttranslational modification that regulates diverse cellular processes. Aberrant expression of type I PRMTs that catalyze asymmetric arginine demethylation (ADMA) is often found in cancer; however, little is known about the ADMA status of substrate proteins in tumors. Using LC-MS/MS along with pan-specific ADMA antibodies, we performed global mapping of ADMA in five patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumors representing different subtypes of human breast cancer and identified 415 methylated peptides from 213 proteins. Approximately 70% of the putative substrates were validated using peptide arrays in vitro methylated by PRMT1, PRMT4, and PRMT6, among which 48% of substrates varied from estrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative tumors. Comparing with our previously identified ADMA sites from breast cancer cell lines, 75 ADMA sites overlapped between cell lines and PDX tumors. Collectively, this study provides a useful resource to PRMT and breast cancer communities to exploit the functions of PRMT dysregulation during breast cancer progression.

Project description:ES cells are able to self-renew and remain pluripotent. These characteristics are maintained by both genetic and epigenetic regulators. Protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) 4 and 5 are shown to be important in early embryonic development and in ES cells. PRMT6-mediated di-methylation of histone H3 at arginine 2 (H3R2me2) can antagonize the tri-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4, which marks active genes. However, it is unclear whether PRMT6 and PRMT6-mediated H3R2me2 play crucial roles in early embryonic development and ES cell identity. In this study, we investigate their functions using mouse ES cells as the model. We used microarray (Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0ST) to examine the global change of gene expression in mouse ES cells when Prmt6 was overexpressed and identified distinct classes of genes that are up-regulated and down-regulated during this process. Mouse ES cells were transfected with either pCAGIP.puro empty vector (control) or Prmt6 overexpressing plasmid (P+6 OE). After 3 days of selection by puromycin, cells from both populations were subjected to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
