LINC00470 Coordinates the Epigenetic Regulation of ELFN2 to Distract GBM Cell Autophagy.

ABSTRACT: The epigenetics and genomics of glioblastoma (GBM) are complicated. Previous reports indicate that ELFN2 is widely distributed in the cerebral cortex neurons, striatum, and hippocampus cone and in granular cells. However, the function and mechanism of ELFN2, particularly in GBM, have rarely been explored. In this study, we identified ELFN2 as a new hypomethylation gene that acts as an oncogene in GBM. ELFN2 promoted cell autophagy by interacting with AurkA and eIF2α and inhibiting the activation of AurkA. We also demonstrated that aberrantly high ELFN2 expression is obtained due to hypomethylation of its promoter and abnormal miR-101 and LINC00470 expression in GBM. LINC00470 not only enhanced the expression of ELFN2 through adsorption of miR-101 but also affected the methylation level of ELFN2 by decreasing H3K27me3 occupancy. In addition, LINC00470 played a dominant role in the regulation of GBM cell autophagy, even though it upregulated ELFN2 expression. The results indicate that the combination of LINC00470 and ELFN2 has important significance for evaluating the prognosis of astrocytoma patients.

Project description:Macroautophagy/autophagy is an evolutionarily highly conserved catabolic process that is important for the clearance of cytosolic contents to maintain cellular homeostasis and survival. Recent findings point toward a critical role for autophagy in brain function, not only by preserving neuronal health, but especially by controlling different aspects of neuronal development and functioning. In line with this, mutations in autophagy-related genes are linked to various key characteristics and symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism, micro-/macrocephaly, and epilepsy. However, the group of NDDs caused by mutations in autophagy-related genes is relatively small. A significant proportion of NDDs are associated with mutations in genes encoding epigenetic regulatory proteins that modulate gene expression, so-called chromatinopathies. Intriguingly, several of the NDD-linked chromatinopathy genes have been shown to regulate autophagy-related genes, albeit in non-neuronal contexts. From these studies it becomes evident that tight transcriptional regulation of autophagy-related genes is crucial to control autophagic activity. This opens the exciting possibility that aberrant autophagic regulation might underly nervous system impairments in NDDs with disturbed epigenetic regulation. We here summarize NDD-related chromatinopathy genes that are known to regulate transcriptional regulation of autophagy-related genes. Thereby, we want to highlight autophagy as a candidate key hub mechanism in NDD-related chromatinopathies.Abbreviations: ADNP: activity dependent neuroprotector homeobox; ASD: autism spectrum disorder; ATG: AutTophaGy related; CpG: cytosine-guanine dinucleotide; DNMT: DNA methyltransferase; EHMT: euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase; EP300: E1A binding protein p300; EZH2: enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit; H3K4me3: histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation; H3K9me1/2/3: histone 3 lysine 9 mono-, di-, or trimethylation; H3K27me2/3: histone 3 lysine 27 di-, or trimethylation; hiPSCs: human induced pluripotent stem cells; HSP: hereditary spastic paraplegia; ID: intellectual disability; KANSL1: KAT8 regulatory NSL complex subunit 1; KAT8: lysine acetyltransferase 8; KDM1A/LSD1: lysine demethylase 1A; MAP1LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1; NDD: neurodevelopmental disorder; PHF8: PHD finger protein 8; PHF8-XLID: PHF8-X linked intellectual disability syndrome; PTM: post-translational modification; SESN2: sestrin 2; YY1: YY1 transcription factor; YY1AP1: YY1 associated protein 1.
