MED12 mutation activates the tryptophan/kynurenine/AHR pathway to promote growth of uterine leiomyomas

Project description:Uterine leiomyoma (LM) is the most common tumor in women. Estrogen and progesterone, via their receptors ERα and PR, play essential roles in LM growth. Mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) mutations occur in 70% of all LM and are thought to drive tumor growth in a steroid hormone-dependent manner; however, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we performed ChIP-seq (ERα, PR, and MED12) and RNA-seq on LM expressing mutant MED12 (mut-MED12) or wild-type MED12 and matched myometrium. Mut-MED12 altered PR and chromatin interaction landscapes, with significant PR-binding site loss in proximal promoter regions in mut-MED12 LM. Integration of cistrome and transcriptome data identified tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) as a PR and MED12 target gene, which was aberrantly upregulated in mut-MED12 LM. Kynurenine, the catabolic product of TDO2, was significantly elevated in mut-MED12 LM. Tryptophan or kynurenine treatment of primary LM cells activated the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway, increased cell proliferation, and inhibited apoptosis; blocking the TDO2-kynurenine-AHR pathway by siRNA knockdown or pharmacologic inhibition abolished these effects. Mut-MED12 LM cells showed higher sensitivity to these treatments. These findings suggest that activation of the TDO2-kynurenine-AHR pathway in mut-MED12 LM induces tumor growth, and may inform the development of targeted treatments and precision medicine in LM.

MED12 mutation activates the tryptophan/kynurenine/AHR pathway to promote growth of uterine leiomyomas.

Project description:Uterine leiomyomas cause heavy menstrual bleeding, anemia, and pregnancy loss in millions of women worldwide. Driver mutations in the transcriptional mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) gene in uterine myometrial cells initiate 70% of leiomyomas that grow in a progesterone-dependent manner. We showed a distinct chromatin occupancy landscape of MED12 in mutant MED12 (mut-MED12) versus WT-MED12 leiomyomas. Integration of cistromic and transcriptomics data identified tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) as the top mut-MED12 target gene that was significantly upregulated in mut-MED12 leiomyomas when compared with adjacent myometrium and WT-MED12 leiomyomas. TDO2 catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan to kynurenine, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligand that we confirmed to be significantly elevated in mut-MED12 leiomyomas. Treatment of primary mut-MED12 leiomyoma cells with tryptophan or kynurenine stimulated AHR nuclear translocation, increased proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, and induced AHR-target gene expression, whereas blocking the TDO2/kynurenine/AHR pathway by siRNA or pharmacological treatment abolished these effects. Progesterone receptors regulated the expression of AHR and its target genes. In vivo, TDO2 expression positively correlated with the expression of genes crucial for leiomyoma growth. In summary, activation of the TDO2/kynurenine/AHR pathway selectively in mut-MED12 leiomyomas promoted tumor growth and may inform the future development of targeted treatments and precision medicine.

Comparison of Gene expression profiles between myometrium, MED12 mutation positive uterine leiomyomas and MED12 wildtype uterine leiomyomas

Project description:Gene expression profiles of 10 uterine leiomyomas and their matched normal myometrium specimens were studied using Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 gene expression arrays. Four tumors displayed a codon 44 mutation, four carried a intron 1 mutation, and the remaining two displayed no MED12 mutation.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor binds to kynurenine and mediates a signal supports the undifferentiated state in pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Kynurenine is generated from tryptophan by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) and binds to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). We found that kynurenine generated by human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) stimulated the AhR to bind selectively to the promoters and enhancers of self-renewal genes, thus enhancing their transcription. The kynurenine-AhR complex also directly stimulated the expression of IDO1 and AHR, activating a positive feedback loop. Substantial amounts of kynurenine that were not complexed with AhR were present in the culture medium, providing a paracrine signal for maintenance of the undifferentiated state. Kynurenine was not present in the medium of differentiated ESCs and iPSCs. When cells were induced to undergo ectodermal differentiation, the abundance of kynurenine in the medium was reduced through activation of the main kynurenine catabolic pathway mediated by aminotransferase 2 (KAT2), resulting in the secretion of 2-aminoadipic acid (2-AAA) into the culture medium. Thus, kynurenine in the culture medium is a biomarker for the undifferentiated state, and 2-AAA in the culture medium is a biomarker for ESCs and iPSCs that have committed to differentiate along the ectoderm lineage.
