Project description:While protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) and PRMT-catalyzed protein methylation have been well-known to be involved in a myriad of biological processes, their roles in carcinogenesis, particularly in estrogen receptor alpha (ERa)-positive breast cancers, remain incompletely understood. Here we focused on investigating PRMT4 (also called coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1, CARM1) due to its high expression and the associated poor prognosis in ERa-positive breast cancers. We first uncovered the chromatin-binding landscape and transcriptional targets of CARM1 in the presence of estrogen in ERa-positive breast cancer cells employing genomic and transcriptomics approaches. CARM1 was found to be predominantly and specifically recruited to ERa-bound active enhancers and essential for the transcriptional activation of cognate estrogen-induced gene transcriptional activation in response to estrogen. Global mapping of CARM1 substrates revealed that CARM1 methylates a large cohort of proteins with diverse biological functions, including regulation of intracellular estrogen receptor signaling, chromatin organization, chromatin remodeling and others. Intriguingly, a number of proteins were hypermethylated exclusively by CARM1 on a cluster of arginine residues. Exemplified by MED12, hypermethylation of these proteins by CARM1 served as a molecular beacon for recruiting coactivator protein, tudor domain-containing 3 (TDRD3), to ensure the full activation of estrogen/ERa target genes. In consistent with its critical role in estrogen-induced gene transcriptional activation, CARM1 was found to promote cell proliferation of ERa-positive breast cancer cells in vitro and tumor growth in mice. Taken together, our study uncovered a “hypermethylation” strategy utilized by CARM1 in gene transcriptional regulation, and suggested that CARM1 can server as a therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.

Project description:While protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) and PRMT-catalyzed protein methylation have been well-known to be involved in a myriad of biological processes, their functions and the underlying molecular mechanisms in cancers, particularly in estrogen receptor alpha (ER?)-positive breast cancers, remain incompletely understood. Here we focused on investigating PRMT4 (also called coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1, CARM1) in ER?-positive breast cancers due to its high expression and the associated poor prognosis. Methods: ChIP-seq and RNA-seq were employed to identify the chromatin-binding landscape and transcriptional targets of CARM1, respectively, in the presence of estrogen in ER?-positive MCF7 breast cancer cells. High-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of enriched peptides from anti-monomethyl- and anti-asymmetric dimethyl-arginine antibodies in SILAC labeled wild-type and CARM1 knockout cells were performed to globally map CARM1 methylation substrates. Cell viability was measured by MTS and colony formation assay, and cell cycle was measured by FACS analysis. Cell migration and invasion capacities were examined by wound-healing and trans-well assay, respectively. Xenograft assay was used to analyze tumor growth in vivo. Results: CARM1 was found to be predominantly and specifically recruited to ER?-bound active enhancers and essential for the transcriptional activation of cognate estrogen-induced genes in response to estrogen treatment. Global mapping of CARM1 substrates revealed that CARM1 methylated a large cohort of proteins with diverse biological functions, including regulation of intracellular estrogen receptor-mediated signaling, chromatin organization and chromatin remodeling. A large number of CARM1 substrates were found to be exclusively hypermethylated by CARM1 on a cluster of arginine residues. Exemplified by MED12, hypermethylation of these proteins by CARM1 served as a molecular beacon for recruiting coactivator protein, tudor-domain-containing protein 3 (TDRD3), to CARM1-bound active enhancers to activate estrogen/ER?-target genes. In consistent with its critical role in estrogen/ER?-induced gene transcriptional activation, CARM1 was found to promote cell proliferation of ER?-positive breast cancer cells in vitro and tumor growth in mice. Conclusions: our study uncovered a "hypermethylation" strategy utilized by enhancer-bound CARM1 in gene transcriptional regulation, and suggested that CARM1 can server as a therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.

Project description:Previous studies reported that NEAT1 and its partner p54nrb are necessary for CARM1 to associate with paraspeckles and H3R26 methylation. There are also reports that CARM1 is essential for LincGET's role in guiding the ICM lineage in mouse embryos. We speculate that there may be a connection between CARM1 and lncRNA. In order to verify our guess, we conducted lncRNA-seq experiments against CARM1 control or siRNA in MDA-MB-231 cells to explore the lncRNA that may be regulated downstream of CARM1. Here, we showed that CARM1 and HIF1A co-upregulates the expression of MALAT1 in hypoxia pathway to promote carcinogenesis and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer cells. These results indicate that there is a connection among CARM1, HIF1A and MALAT1 in triple-negative breast cancer.

Project description:Coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 has been reported to play paramount roles in estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive breast cancer. It promotes breast cancer development and metastasis. However, little research about CARM1 has been focused on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we report that CARM1 promotes proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stemness in TNBC. CARM1 transactivates Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and is physically associated with it. They function together in a concerted complex to regulate downstream targets and promote the carcinogenesis and metastasis of TNBC.

Project description:The goal of this study is to identify ERalpha-target genes affected by overexpression of the histone arginine methyltransferase CARM1 in breast cancer cells. The roles of CARM1 in ERalpha+ breast cancer was not well characterized. Therefore, we created a Dox inducible CARM1 overexpressing MCF7 cell line where CARM1 is overexpressed by 2 fold to determine the created a Dox-inducible CARM1 overexpressing MCF7 cells for evaluation of the global effects of CARM1 on Eralpha-target gene expression. MCF7-tet-on-CARM1 clone 13 were treated under 4 conditions: DMSO; Dox; E2 (10nM); Dox+E2. In Dox+E2 condition, cells were pre-treated with Dox for 5 days before treating with E2 for 4 hours. 3 biological replicates were included and total of 12 samples were analyzed.
