Project description:Background & Aims: Succinate dehydrogenase enzyme (SDH) is frequently found to be diminished in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patient samples, and SDH reduction is associated with elevated succinate level and poor prognosis in HCC patients. But the underlying mechanisms about how impaired SDH activity promotes HCC malignancy remain unclear. Approach & Results: In this study, we observed remarkable downregulations of SDH subunits A and B (SDHA/B) in chronic liver injury-induced murine HCC models and HCC patient samples. Subsequent RNA sequencing, hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analyses of HCC samples revealed that Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) were significantly upregulated in HCC, with their levels inversely correlating with that of SDHA/B. The protein stability of YAP/TAZ was greatly enhanced in SDHA/B-depleted HCC cells along with accumulation of succinate. Further mechanistic analyses demonstrated that impaired activity of SDHA/B resulted in succinate accumulation which facilitated the removal of NEDDylation on cullin1, therefore disrupted the E3 ubiquitin ligase SCFβ-TrCP complex, consequently led to YAP/TAZ stabilization and activation in HCC cells. The accelerated in vitro cell proliferation and in vivo tumor growth caused by SDHA/B reduction or succinate exposure were largely dependent on the aberrant activation of YAP/TAZ. Conclusions: Our study demonstrated that SDHA/B reduction promotes HCC proliferation by preventing the proteasomal degradation of YAP/TAZ through modulating cullin1 NEDDylation, thus addicts SDH-deficient HCC cells to YAP/TAZ pathway and renders these cells vulnerable to YAP/TAZ inhibition. Our findings warrant further investigation on the therapeutic effects of targeting YAP/TAZ in HCC patients displaying reduced SDHA/B or elevated succinate levels.

Project description:Myelination is essential for neuronal function and health. In peripheral nerves, >100 causative mutations have been identified that cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder that can affect myelin sheaths. Among these, a number of mutations are related to essential targets of the post-translation modification neddylation, although how these lead to myelin defects is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that inhibiting neddylation leads to a striking absence of peripheral myelin and axonal loss both in developing and regenerating mouse nerves. Importantly, our data indicate that neddylation exerts a global influence on the complex transcriptional and post-transcriptional program by simultaneously regulating the expression and function of multiple essential myelination signals, including the master transcription factor EGR2 and the negative regulators c-Jun and Sox2, and inducing global secondary changes in downstream pathways, including the mTOR and YAP/TAZ signalling pathways. This places neddylation as a critical regulator of myelination and delineates the potential pathogenic mechanisms involved in CMT mutations related to neddylation.

Project description:BCR-ABL1-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) dominate the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) over the past decades. In this study, we reported an unexpected role of neddylation inhibitors in desensitizing the therapeutic efficacy of BCR-ABL1-targeting TKIs in CML. Unlike their function in reducing drug resistance in many solid tumors, we revealed that neddylation inhibitors counteracted the cytotoxicity of TKIs against CML cells, both in cellular experiments and in animal model. Conversely, neddylation agonist sensitized the function of TKIs. RNA sequencing data revealed that neddylation inhibitor reversed the transcriptomic changes induced by TKI. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay identified ABL1 kinase domain as a novel substrate for neddylation. Furthermore, an artificial intelligence (AI) 3-Dimensional spatial structure binding technology was employed to predict the impact of neddylation on the structure of ABL1 kinase domain. Finally, we provided potential evidence showing that TKI therapy decreased the expression of neddylation enzymes in the bone marrow of CML patients. Hence, our study offers new insights into the post-translational modification (PTM)-mediated drug resistance, and highlights the potential clinical benefits of neddylation agonists in improving the responsiveness of BCR-ABL1 TKIs in CML.

Project description:We demonstrated that TAZ positively regulates Irs1 gene transcription in muscle. Therefore we designed ChIP-seq experiment to reveal detailed mechanism of regulation. To capture TAZ in chromatin preparation, we made Flag-tagged TAZ expressing and control vector transduced C2C12 cells by retroviral infection. We used FLAG-conjugated beads to capture TAZ-chromatin complexes and ChIP-seq was perforemd. Among many TAZ binding sites, we focused Irs1 regulatory region because our primary purpose was to identify TAZ binding site for the regulation of Irs1 transcription.

Project description:Hypoxia, an inadequate supply of tissue oxygen tension, has been reported to induce apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and is associated with male infertility. Neddylation, a post-translational modification similar to ubiquitination, has been shown to be involved in the hypoxia stress response. However, the functions of neddylation in hypoxia-induced apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and its association with male infertility remain largely unexplored. In this study, aiming to explore the role of neddylation in male infertility, we used the specific neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 for treatment in mouse type B spermatogonia GC-2 cells. Our results showed that MLN4924 had no apparent effect on GC-2 cell apoptosis under normoxia, but significantly increased apoptotic cells under hypoxia. Transcriptomic analysis and qPCR assay confirmed that MLN4924 could suppress the expression of hypoxia target genes in GC-2 cells under hypoxia. In addition, MLN4924 could enhance the induction of intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) under hypoxia. These results indicate that the neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 potentiates hypoxia-induced apoptosis of mouse type B spermatogonia GC-2 cells, and neddylation may play an important role in promoting spermatogenic cells to adapt to hypoxia stress.

Project description:The heart undergoes significant structural, metabolic, gene expression and functional alterations during the perinatal to postnatal transition. While recent studies have identified multiple epigenetic and transcriptional regulators of cardiac maturation, post-transcriptional mechanisms regulating this process remain poorly understood. Neddylation is a post-translational modification that conjugates a small ubiquitin-like protein, NEDD8, to protein substrates via an E1-E2-E3 enzymatic cascade. The goal of this study was to define the role of neddylation in perinatal cardiac development and cardiac maturation. Neddylation was inhibited in adult mouse hearts by cardiac-specific deletion of NAE1 gene, a regulatory subunit of NEDD8 E1 enzyme, or in neonatal cardiomyocytes (CMs) with a pharmacological neddylation inhibitor, MLN4924. The impact on cardiac transcriptome, metabolism, maturation and function was assessed. Mosaic deletion of NAE1 in ~40% neonatal CMs disrupted aspects of maturation, including transverse-tubule formation, cellular hypertrophy and fetal/adult isoform switching, whereas deletion of NAE1 in over 80% CMs led to rapid development of cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Transcriptome analysis demonstrated an association of metabolic derangement with immature cardiomyocyte signature. Biochemical, ultrastructural and metabolomics analyses confirmed downregulation of fatty acid and oxidative phosphorylation genes, deficits in fatty acid utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and significantly altered metabolic profiles in NAE1-deficient hearts or MLN4924-treated neonatal CMs. Mechanistically, we found that HIF1α, a transcription factor known to promote glycolysis and suppress oxidative metabolism, is a putative NEDD8 target. Inhibition of neddylation resulted in HIF1α accumulation and activation, which contributed to diminished fatty acid utilization. Taken together, we conclude that neddylation plays a crucial role in CM maturation and postnatal cardiac development through sustaining the glycolytic to oxidative metabolic switch in perinatal hearts.

Project description:Type II testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most prevalent tumors in young men. Patients suffering from cisplatin resistant TGCTs are facing very poor prognosis demanding novel therapeutic options. Neddylation is a known posttranslational modification mediating many important biological processes including tumorigenesis. Overactivation of neddylation pathway promotes carcinogenesis and tumor progression in various entities by inducing proteasomal degradation of tumor suppressors (e.g., p21, p27). We used a genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 activation screen to identify cisplatin resistance factors. TGCT cell lines were treated with the neddylation inhibitor (MLN4924)/cisplatin/combination and investigated for changes in viability (XTT assay), apoptosis/cell cycle (flow cytometry) as well as in the transcriptome (3’mRNA sequencing). NAE1 overexpression was detected in cisplatin resistant colonies from the CRISPR screen. Inhibition of neddylation using MLN4924 increased cisplatin cytotoxicity in TGCT cell lines and sensitized cisplatin resistant cells towards cisplatin. Apoptosis, G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest, gH2A.X/P27 accumulation and mesoderm/endoderm differentiation was observed in TGCT cells while fibroblast cells were unaffected. We identified overactivation of neddylation as a factor for cisplatin resistance in TGCTs and highlighted the additive effect of NAE1 inhibition by MLN4924 in combination with cisplatin as a novel treatment option for TGCTs.

Project description:Malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) represent one of the most aggressive childhood malignancies. No effective treatment options are available, and prognosis is therefore dismal. Previous studies have demonstrated that tumor organoids capture the heterogeneity of patient tumors and can be used to predict patient therapy response. Here, we perform drug screening on patient-derived normal and tumor organoids to identify MRT-specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. We identify neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 as a potential therapeutic agent. Mechanistically, we find increased neddylation in MRT organoids and tissues and show that MLN4924 induces a cytotoxic response via upregulation of the unfolded protein response. Lastly, we demonstrate in vivo efficacy in an MRT PDX mouse model, in which single agent MLN4924 treatment significantly extends survival. Our study demonstrates that organoids can be used to find drugs selectively targeting tumor cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed and proposes neddylation inhibition as therapeutic strategy in MRT.
