Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) arises from multi-step accumulation of genetic and epigenetic mutations that deregulate intestinal homeostasis leading to neoplastic transformation and metastases. Constitutive activation of WNT signaling is considered the initial driver oncogenic event to which CRCs remain addicted, also in their most aggressive metastatic forms. WNT activation provokes an aberrant signaling that converges into the nucleus where transcription and chromatin-remodeling factors cooperate to regulate cell identity. This leads to deregulated proliferation, block of differentiation and evasion from cell death pathways. We found that the protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is synthetic lethal with WNT oncogenic activation in both genetically-defined mouse models and patient-derived metastatic CRC organoids. WNT activation regulates the subcellular localization of PRMT1, inducing its complete nuclear translocation. This makes CRCs specifically dependent on PRMT1 enzymatic activity to sustain WNT-dependent proliferation regardless of the mutational landscape carried by distinct patients. Together these data uncover a new molecular crosstalk between WNT activation and PRMT1 activity and place PRMT1 inhibition as a potential strategy to counteract CRC addiction to WNT oncogenic activation.

Project description:PRMT1 is thought to be responsible for the majority of PRMT activity in Toxoplasma gondii, but its exact function is unknown. We generated T. gondii mutants lacking PRMT1 (∆prmt1) by deletion of the PRMT1 gene. ∆prmt1 parasites exhibit morphological defects during cell division and grow slowly, and this phenotype reverses in the complemented strain ∆prmt::PRMT1mRFP. PRMT1 localizes primarily in the cytoplasm with enrichment at the centrosome, and the strain lacking PRMT1 is unable to segregate progeny accurately. Unlike wild-type and complemented parasites, ∆prmt1 parasites have abnormal daughter buds, perturbed centrosome stoichiometry, and loss of synchronous replication. Whole genome expression profiling demonstrated differences in expression of cell cycle regulated genes in ∆prmt1 relative to the complemented ∆prmt1::PRMT1mRFP and parental wild-type strains, but these changes did not correlate with a specific block in cell cycle. Although PRMT1’s primary biological function was previously proposed to be methylation of histones, our genetic studies suggest that the most critical function of PRMT1 is within the centrosome as a regulator of daughter cell counting to assure the proper replication of the parasite. RNA samples were isolated in triplicates from RH-hxgprt parent strain (W), PRMT1 knockout (K) strain and PRMT1 knockout strain complemented with RFP-tagged PRMT1 protein (C). Parasites were grown for 32h at 37C. Samples were hybridized to the Toxoplasma gondii Affymetrix microarray (ToxoGeneChip: http://ancillary.toxodb.org/docs/Array-Tutorial.html). Hybridization data was preprocessed with Robust Multi-array Average (RMA) and normalized using per chip and per gene median polishing and analyzed using the software package GeneSpring GX (Agilent Technologies).

Project description:PRMT1 is the major Arginine methyltransferase in mammalian cells and its over-expression in human cancer has been linked to poor response to cancer therapy. Here, combining mass spectrometry-based global methyl-proteomics with genome-wide mRNA expression profiling, we identify PRMT1 and its associated Arginine methylation as a regulatory hubs controlling cancer cell response to replicative stress agents. We show that DNA-PK binds to PRMT1 and regulates both its subcellular localization and activity, leading to PRMT1 recruitment to drug-stalled replication forks and channelling its methyl-transferase activity from its soluble targets towards Arginine 3 of histone H4. This DNA-PK-PRMT1 axis is required for the induction of the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype, which sustains cell cycle arrest and protects cells from apoptosis. Our data show that Arginine-methylation regulates the adaptive response of cancer cell to replicative stress agents and might be targeted to sensitize cancer cells to genotoxic chemotherapeutics

Project description:Transcriptional deregulation plays a major role in acute myeloid leukemia, identification of epigenetic modifying enzymes essential for the maintenance of oncogenic transcription programs holds the key to better understanding the biology and designing effective therapeutic strategies for the disease. Here we provide experimental evidence showing the functional involvement and therapeutic potentials of targeting PRMT1 with H4R3 methyltransferase activity in various MLL and non-MLL leukemias. PRMT1 is necessary but not sufficient for leukemic transformation, which requires co-recruitment of KDM4C with H3K9 demethylase activity by chimeric transcription factors to mediate epigenetic reprogramming. Inhibition of KDM4C/PRMT1 suppresses transcription and transformation ability of MLL fusions and MOZ-TIF2, revealing a novel and targetable epigenetic circuitry mediated by PRMT1 and KDM4C in acute leukemia.

Project description:PRMT1 is known as a regulator of immune function by directly interacting with interferon receptors, methylating STAT1, and promoting B cell and macrophage differentiation by methylating CDK4 or B cell antigen receptor However, the function of PRMT1 as a therapeutic target of cancer remains largely elusive, particularly for its role in cancer immunosurveillance. Here, we performed bulk RNA-seq for CT26, a mouse tumor cell line, after either knocking down of endogeneous Prmt1 or blocking PRMT1 by two specific inhibitors, namely MS023 and GSK3368715.

Project description:The interplay between multiple transcription factors precisely regulates eukaryotic transcription. Here, we report that the protein methyltransferases, MLL2 and PRMT1, interact directly and act collectively to regulate gene expression. PRMT1 binds to the N-terminal region of MLL2, considered an intrinsically disordered region, and methylates multiple arginine residues within its RGG/RG motifs. Notably, overexpression of PRMT1 decreased poly-ubiquitylation of MLL2, whereas mutations on methylation sites in MLL2 increased MLL2 poly-ubiquitylation, suggesting that PRMT1-mediated methylation stabilizes MLL2. MLL2 and PRMT1 cooperatively stimulated the expression of a chromosomal reporter gene in a PRMT1-mediated, MLL2-methylation–dependent manner. RNA-seq analysis found that MLL2 and PRMT1 jointly regulate the expression of genes involved in cell membrane and extracellular matrix functions, and depletion of either resulted in impaired cell migration and invasion. Our study provides evidence that PRMT1-mediated MLL2 methylation regulates MLL2 protein stability and the expression of their target genes.

Project description:Protein methylation has been implicated in many important biological contexts including signaling, metabolism, and transcriptional control. Despite the importance of this post- translational modification, the global analysis of protein methylation by mass spectrometry-based proteomics has not been extensively studied due to the lack of robust, well-characterized techniques for methyl-peptidemethyl peptide enrichment. Here, to better investigate protein methylation, we optimized and compared two methods for methyl-peptidemethyl peptide enrichment: immunoaffinity purification (IAP) and high pH strong cation exchange (SCX). Comparison of these methods revealed that they are largely orthogonal for monomethyl arginine (MMA), suggesting that the usage of both techniques is required to provide a global view of protein methylation. Using both IAP and SCX, we investigated changes in protein methylation downstream of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1). Together, these techniques allowed us to quantify over ~1,000 arginine methylation sites on 407 proteins. Of these methylation sites, PRMT1 knockdown resulted in significant changes to 110 arginine methylation sites on 59 proteins. In contrast, zero lysine methylation sites were significantly changed upon PRMT1 knockdown. In PRMT1 knockdown cells, 24 MMA sites exhibited both significant downregulation (ie, putative PRMT1-mediated MMA targets) and 63 significant upregulation (ie, putative PRMT1-mediated ADMA targets). PRMT1 knockdown induced significant changes in asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA), consistent with being PRMT1 targets. Additionally, We also observed that PRMT1 knockdown induced significant increases in symmetric dimethyl arginine (SDMA) methylation, suggesting that loss of PRMT1 activity allows scavenging of PRMT1 substrates by Type II PRMTs. Analysis of the subcellular localization and protein function of the significantly changing methyl-proteins revealed that the majority of PRMT1 substrates are localized to the nucleus and involved in RNA and DNA binding. Taken together, our results suggest that deep protein methylation profiling by mass spectrometry requires orthogonal enrichment techniques, identify novel PRMT1 methylation targets, and highlight in order to understand the dynamic interplay between methyltransferases in mammalian cells.

Project description:Through an shRNA screen we have identified Prmt1 as a genetic vulnerability of p53/Rb-null murine osteosarcoma cells. Depletion of Prmt1 in p53-deficient cells impairs tumor initiation and maintenance in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic studies reveal that translation-associated pathways are enriched for Prmt1 downstream targets, implicating a role of Prmt1 in translation control. In particular, we have shown that loss of Prmt1 leads to a the decrease in arginine methylation of the translation initiation complex, thereby disrupting its assembly and inhibiting translation. We also observed that p53/Rb-null cells are sensitive to p53-induced translation stress. Analysis of the human tumor cell Achilles data set further reveals that Prmt1 and translation-associated pathways converge on the same functional networks. We propose that targeted therapy directed to inhibition of Prmt1 and its associated translation-related pathways represents a novel and promising therapeutic strategy for p53-deficient cancer cells that exhibit dependencies on translation stress response.
