Msi1 integrates APC loss and mTORC1 activation to promote intestinal stem cell transformation


ABSTRACT: Loss of the APC tumor suppressor in the intestinal epithelium initiates the majority of human colorectal adenocarcinomas. Constitutive β-catenin activation is thought to underlie tumorigenesis induced by loss of APC, however β-catenin activation alone does not recapitulate all APC-loss phenotypes, suggesting that additional pathways are required. We demonstrate that aberrant activation of the Msi1 RNA binding protein occurs upon APC loss and that constitutive Msi1 activation alone is sufficient to phenocopy APC loss in the intestinal epithelium. Msi1 elicits these effects through binding of mRNAs encoding pleiotropic tumor suppressors resulting in promiscuous activation of quiescent intestinal stem cells, proliferative expansion of the stem cell compartment, crypt fission, and blocked differentiation. Further, we find these phenotypes to be largely dependent on mTORC1 activity, and demonstrate that loss of Msi activity is sufficient to abrogate tumorigenesis in mouse and human systems. Our findings implicate Msi1 as a central coordinator of APC loss-induced intestinal stem cell transformation and adenocarcinoma progression. 2 wild-type, 2 transgenic samples
