Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant modification in mRNAs, has been defined as a crucial modulator in the progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), while the detailed mechanism remains elusive. Here we report that YTHDF1, an m6A reader protein, is overexpressed in human AML samples with enrichment in leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Whereas YTHDF1 is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis in mice, depletion of YTHDF1 attenuates self-renewal and proliferation of patient-derived LSCs, and impedes leukemia establishment in immunodeficient mice. Mechanistically, YTHDF1 promotes the translation of diverse m6A-modified oncogene mRNAs particularly cyclin E2. We applied a structure-based virtual screening of FDA-approved drugs and identified tegaserod as a potential YTHDF1 inhibitor. Tegaserod blocks the direct binding of YTHDF1 with m6A-modified mRNAs and inhibits YTHDF1-regulated mRNA translation. Moreover, tegaserod inhibits leukemogenesis in vitro and in mice, phenocopying the loss of YTHDF1. Together, our study defines YTHDF1 as an integral regulator of AML progression at the translational level and identifies tegaserod as a potential therapeutic agent for AML by targeting YTHDF1.

Project description:Translation activation of local synaptic mRNA is critical to learning and memory. Despite extensive studies on how phosphorylations of ribosome units and translation factors enable fast response to exogenous stimuli, our knowledge on molecular pathways utilized by RNA binding proteins (RBPs) to control translation of specific mRNAs remains incomplete. We have previously found that YTHDF1 regulates depolarization-induced protein synthesis by promoting translation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-modified transcripts. Here we report an unexpected mechanism that the stimuli-induced neuronal translation is mediated by phosphorylation of a YTHDF1-binding protein FMRP. Phosphorylation of FMRP serine 499 induced by neuronal depolarization alters the condensing behavior of prion-like protein YTHDF1. Unphosphorylated FMRP sequesters YTHDF1 away from the translation initiation complex, whereas the stimulation-induced FMRP phosphorylation releases YTHDF1 to form translational active condensates with the ribosome to activate translation of YTHDF1 target transcripts. In fragile X syndrome (FXS) models characterized with low FMRP expression, we observed YTHDF1-mediated hyperactive translation, which notably impacts FXS pathophysiology. Developmental defects in an FXS forebrain organoid model could be reversed by a selective small-molecule inhibitor of YTHDF1 which acts by suppressing its condensation in neurons. We characterized transcriptome-wide translation alterations with the inhibitor treatment in organoids and identified targets that explain alleviated FXS pathology. Our study thus reveals FMRP and its phosphorylation as an important regulator of the activity-dependent translation during neuronal development and stimulation, and identifies YTHDF1 as a potential therapeutic target for FXS in which developmental defects caused by FMRP depletion could be reversed through YTHDF1 inhibition.

Project description:Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a frequently incurable hematological cancer in which over activity of MYC plays a central role, notably through upregulation of ribosome biogenesis and translation. To better understand the oncogenic program driven by MYC and investigate its potential as a therapeutic target, we screened a chemically diverse small molecule library for anti-MM activity. The most potent hits identified were rocaglate-scaffold inhibitors of translation initiation. Expression profiling of MM cells revealed reversion of the oncogenic MYC-driven transcriptional program by CMLD010509, our most promising rocaglate. Proteome-wide, reversion correlated with selective depletion of short-lived proteins key to MM growth and survival, most notably MYC, MDM2, CCND1, MAF and MCL-1. The efficacy of CMLD010509 in mouse models of MM confirmed the therapeutic relevance of these findings in vivo and supports the feasibility of targeting the oncogenic MYC-driven translation program in MM with rocaglates.

Project description:Functional micropeptides can hide inside RNA previously annotated as non-coding, their roles in the tumorigenesis of lung cancer remain largely unknown. Here, combining Ribo-seq, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, we characterize a 46 amino-acid length oncogenic micropeptide encoded by lncRNA DSP-AS1, that we named Desmoplakin Associated MicroPeptide (DAMP), in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). DAMP is aberrantly overexpressed in LUAD and confers an unfavorable prognosis, its pro-neoplastic properties with respect to augmented proliferation, survival and invasiveness were validated in vitro and in vivo. DAMP colocalizes with translation machinery and induces translational reprogramming both by elevating global protein synthesis and by selectively upregulating the translation of mRNA group encoding oncogenic factors in LUAD. Mechanistically, DAMP simultaneously binds cap-binding subunit eIF4G and YTHDF1, a m6A reader that could fuel translation initiation by recruiting eIF3 to methylated mRNA. The above interactions lead to the formation of a “closed loop” between YTHDF1 and eIF4G bridged by DAMP, which makes YTHDF1 to be spatially in proximity with translation initiation complex and successfully loading of ribosomal 40S subunit onto target mRNAs. Targeting DAMP exhibited significant anti-cancer effects in vitro and in vivo. Our findings not only unravel the oncogenic role of a previously unrecognized micropeptide through orchestrating mRNA translation but also provide a strong rationale in the design of anti-cancer therapy targeting translation machinery in LUAD.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) governs the fate of RNAs through m6A readers. Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits aberrant m6A modifications and expression of m6A regulators. However, little is known about how m6A readers interpret oncogenic m6A methylome for malignant transformation. m6A reader YTHDF1 was overexpressed by copy number gain/amplification in majority of CRCs. YTHDF1 high expression and CNVs predict increased risk of CRC relapse. Transcriptome profiles of YTHDF1-high tumors exhibit highly metastatic features. YTHDF1 promoted CRC tumor cell and organoid proliferation and enhanced metastasis. Ythdf1 knockout dampened tumor growth in carcinogen-induced CRC model. Through multiomic integration, RhoA activator ARHGEF2 was characterized as the key functional YTHDF1 target based on its m6A and YTHDF1-binding signal, translation efficiency changes, protein correlations with YTHDF1 in clinical samples, and disrupted RhoA features by YTHDF1 knockdown. Moreover, YTHDF1-ARHGEF2 co-regulation was observed in YTHDF1-overexpressing metastatic sites and carcinogen-induced Ythdf1-null CRC tumors. ARHGEF2 overexpression significantly rescued RhoA signaling, tumor cell survival and invasiveness impaired by YTHDF1 knockdown both in vitro and in vivo, further confirming the essential function of ARHGEF2.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal messenger (mRNA) modification in mammalian mRNA. This modification is reversible and non-stoichiometric, which potentially adds an additional layer of variety and dynamic control of mRNA metabolism. The m6A-modified mRNA can be selectively recognized by the YTH family “reader” proteins. The preferential binding of m6A-containing mRNA by YTHDF2 is known to reduce the stability of the target transcripts; however, the exact effects of m6A on translation has yet to be elucidated. Here we show that another m6A reader protein, YTHDF1, promotes ribosome loading of its target transcripts. YTHDF1 forms a complex with translation initiation factors to elevate the translation efficiency of its bound mRNA. In a unified mechanism of translation control through m6A, the YTHDF2-mediated decay controls the lifetime of target transcripts; whereas, the YTHDF1-based translation promotion increases the translation efficiency to ensure effective protein production from relatively short-lived transcripts that are marked by m6A. PAR-CLIP and RIP was used to identify YTHDF1 binding sites followed by ribosome profling and RNA seq to assess the consequences of YTHDF1 siRNA knock-down

Project description:In this study, we show that the m6A modification promotes translation of the ADAR1 transcript, which encodes an A-to-I RNA editing enzyme, in response to interferon stimulation. We reveal that this translation upregulation is mediated by the YTHDF1-dependent pathway; YTHDF1 is a reader protein that can preferentially bind m6A-modified transcripts and promote translation. Knockdown of YTHDF1 reduces the overall levels of interferon-induced A-to-I RNA editing, which consequently activates dsRNA-sensing pathway and increased expression of various interferon-stimulated genes. These RNA-seq experiments investigate the effect of YTHDF1 knockdown on the interferon-treated A172 cell transcriptome.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification has been implicated in many cell processes and diseases. YTHDF1, a translation-facilitating m6A reader, is not previously shown to be related to allergic airway inflammation. Here, we report that YTHDF1 is highly expressed in allergic airway epithelial cells (AECs) and asthmatic patients, and influences proinflammatory responses. CLOCK, a subunit of the circadian clock pathway, is the direct target of YTHDF1. YTHDF1 augments CLOCK translation in an m6A-dependent manner. Allergens enhance the liquid‒liquid phase separation (LLPS) of YTHDF1 and drive the formation of a complex comprising dimeric YTHDF1 and CLOCK mRNA, which is distributed to stress granules (SGs). Moreover, YTHDF1 strongly activates NLRP3 inflammasome production and IL-1β secretion, leading to airway inflammatory responses, but these phenotypes are abolished by deleting CLOCK. These findings demonstrate that YTHDF1 is an important regulator of asthmatic airway inflammation, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for allergic airway inflammation.
