Project description:Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a rare and fatal malignant eye tumor, it is life-threatening, mainly because of the lack of diagnostic biomarkers or drug access. In this study, we deciphered a novel anti-CM mechanism of a natural tetracyclic compound isolated from a Cucurbitaceae family plant and named as Cucurbitacin B (CuB). We found that CuB remarkably inhibited the proliferation of CRMM2 cells at a submicromolar level (IC50=0.15 μM) without toxicity to normal cells via G2/M cell cycle arrest and subsequent cell apoptosis. RNA-seq screening identified the Kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A) as a key gene which was abolished by the CuB treatment and proved to be a downstream effector of FOXM1 pathway. Further target identification by the activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) chemoproteomic approach revealed that 78 KDa Glucose-Regulated Protein (GRP78) is a potential target of CuB. Several lines of evidence demonstrated that CuB interacted with GRP78 and bound with a Kd value of 0.11 μM. Furthermore, functional experiments showed that CuB suppressed the ATPase activity of GRP78 both in human recombinant GRP78 and cellular lysates. Knockdown of the GRP78 gene significantly induced the downregulation of FOXM1 and related pathway genes including KIF20A, underlying an interesting therapeutic perspective. Taken together, our current work proved a substantial therapeutic potential of the traditional medicine CuB, and it needs to be explored further for future CM therapies.

Project description:Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a rare and fatal malignant eye tumor. In this study, we deciphered a novel anti-CM mechanism of a natural tetracyclic compound named as cucurbitacin B (CuB). We found that CuB remarkably inhibited the proliferation of CM cells including CM-AS16, CRMM1, CRMM2 and CM2005.1, without toxicity to normal cells. CuB can also induce CM cells G2/M cell cycle arrest. RNA-seq screening identified KIF20A, a key downstream effector of FOXM1 pathway, was abolished by CuB treatment. Further target identification by activity-based protein profiling chemoproteomic approach revealed that GRP78 is a potential target of CuB. Several lines of evidence demonstrated that CuB interacted with GRP78 and bound with a K d value of 0.11 μmol/L. Furthermore, ATPase activity evaluation showed that CuB suppressed GRP78 both in human recombinant GRP78 protein and cellular lysates. Knockdown of the GRP78 gene significantly induced the downregulation of FOXM1 and related pathway proteins including KIF20A, underlying an interesting therapeutic perspective. Finally, CuB significantly inhibited tumor progression in NCG mice without causing obvious side effects in vivo. Taken together, our current work proved that GRP78-FOXM1-KIF20A as a promising pathway for CM therapy, and the traditional medicine CuB as a candidate drug to hinder this pathway.

Project description:There are nearly fifty forkhead (FOX) transcription factors encoded in the human genome and due to sharing a common DNA binding domain, they are all thought to bind to similar DNA sequences. It is therefore unclear how these transcription factors are targeted to specific chromatin regions to elicit specific biological effects. Here we used ChIP-seq to investigate the genome-wide chromatin binding mechanisms used by the forkhead transcription factor FOXM1. In keeping with its previous association with cell cycle control, we demonstrate that FOXM1 binds and regulates a group of genes which are mainly involved in controlling late cell cycle events in the G2 and M phases. However, rather than being recruited through canonical RYAAAYA forkhead binding motifs, FOXM1 binding is directed via CHR elements. FOXM1 binds these elements through protein-protein interactions with the MMB transcriptional activator complex. Thus, we have uncovered a novel and unexpected mode of chromatin binding of a FOX transcription factor which allows it to specifically control cell cycle-dependent gene expression.

Project description:FoxM1, a mammalian Forkhead Box M1 protein, is known as a typical proliferation-associated transcription factor that regulates of G1/S and G2/M transition in the proliferating cells. However, the in vivo function of FoxM1 in adult stem cells remains unknown. Here, we found that FoxM1 is highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and is essential for maintaining quiescence and self-renewal of HSCs in vivo. FoxM1-deficient mice developed leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia with an approximately 6-fold decrease in HSC pool size, which is associated with a failure of G0 cell cycle regulation and increased cell cycling in HSCs. FoxM1 absence did not affect lineage commitment of HSCs and progenitors. However, FoxM1 loss significantly reduced the repopulating capacity and self-renewal of long-term HSC in a cell-autonomous manner. Mechanistically, FoxM1 loss markedly down-regulates the expression of orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1, known to regulate HSC quiescence. We found that FoxM1 directly bound the promoter region of Nurr1 and induced transcriptional activity of Nurr1 promoter in vitro, and forced expression of Nurr1 rescued FoxM1-deletion-induced G0 loss of HSC-enriched population in vitro. Thus, our studies show a previously unrecognized role of FoxM1 as a critical regulator of HSC quiescence and self-renewal by controlling Nurr1-mediated pathways. The Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) were sorted from FoxM1[fl/fl] and Tie2-Cre FoxM1[fl/fl] mice, then amplified with Ovation Pico WTA System V2 before microarray analysis. There are 3 samples from FoxM1[fl/fl]mice and 3 samples from Tie2-Cre FoxM1[fl/fl] mice.

Project description:Proper chromosome segregation is required to ensure genomic and chromosomal stability. The centromere is a unique chromatin domain present throughout the cell cycle on each chromosome defined by the CENP-A nucleosome. Centromeres (CEN) are responsible for recruiting the kinetochore (KT) during mitosis, ultimately regulating spindle attachment and mitotic checkpoint function. Upregulation of many genes that encode CEN/KT proteins is commonly observed in cancer. Here, we show although FOXM1 occupies the promoters of many CEN/KT genes with MYBL2, occupancy is insufficient alone to drive the FOXM1 correlated transcriptional program. We show that CENP-F, a component of the outer kinetochore, functions with FOXM1 to coregulate G2/M transcription and proper chromosome segregation. Loss of CENP-F results in alteration of chromatin accessibility at G2/M genes, including CENP-A, and leads to reduced FOXM1-MBB complex formation. The FOXM1-CENP-F transcriptional coordination is a cancer-specific function. We observed that a few CEN/KT genes escape FOXM1 regulation such as CENP-C which when upregulated with CENP-A, leads to increased chromosome misegregation and cell death. Together, we show that the FOXM1 and CENP-F coordinately regulate G2/M gene expression, and this coordination is specific to a subset of genes to allow for proliferation and maintenance of chromosome stability for cancer cell survival.

Project description:FoxM1 activates genes that regulate S-G2-M cell-cycle progression and, when overexpressed, is associated with poor clinical outcome in multiple cancers. Here we identify FoxM1 as a tumor suppressor in mice that, through its N-terminal domain, binds to and inhibits Ect2 to limit the activity of RhoA GTPase and its effector mDia1, a catalyst of cortical actin nucleation. FoxM1 insufficiency impedes centrosome movement through excessive cortical actin polymerization, thereby causing the formation of non-perpendicular mitotic spindles that missegregate chromosomes and drive tumorigenesis in mice. Importantly, low FOXM1 expression correlates with RhoA GTPase hyperactivity in multiple human cancer types, indicating that suppression of the newly discovered Ect2-RhoA-mDia1 oncogenic axis by FoxM1 is clinically relevant. Furthermore, by dissecting the domain requirements through which FoxM1 inhibits Ect2 GEF activity, we provide mechanistic insight for the development of pharmacological approaches that target protumorigenic RhoA activity.
