Co-regulation of alternative splicing by hnRNPM and ESRP1 during EMT

ABSTRACT: The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental developmental process that is abnormally activated in cancer metastasis. Dynamic changes in alternative splicing occur during EMT. ESRP1 and hnRNPM are splicing regulators that promote an epithelial splicing program and a mesenchymal splicing program, respectively. The functional relationships between these splicing factors in the genome-scale remain elusive. Comparing alternative splicing targets of hnRNPM and ESRP1 revealed that they co-regulate a set of cassette exon events, with the majority showing discordant splicing regulation. hnRNPM discordantly regulated splicing events show a positive correlation with splicing during EMT while concordant splicing events do not, highlighting the antagonistic role of hnRNPM and ESRP1 during EMT. Motif enrichment analysis near co-regulated exons identifies guanine-uridine rich motifs downstream of hnRNPM-repressed and ESRP1-enhanced exons, supporting a model of competitive binding to these cis-elements to antagonize alternative splicing. The set of co-regulated exons are enriched in genes associated with cell-migration and cytoskeletal reorganization, which are pathways associated with EMT. Splicing levels of co-regulated exons are associated with breast cancer patient survival and correlate with gene sets involved in EMT and breast cancer subtypes. In conclusion, hnRNPM and ESRP1 co-regulate antagonistically a set of alternative splicing events that occur during EMT. This regulation is likely mediated through competition for the same intronic binding sites downstream of variable exons. hnRNPM and ESRP1 regulated splicing events are associated with breast cancer survival.

Cell-type restricted activity of hnRNPM promotes breast cancer metastasis via regulating alternative splicing

Project description:Tumor metastasis remains the major cause of cancer-related death, but its molecular basis is still not well understood. Here we uncovered a splicing-mediated pathway that is essential for breast cancer metastasis. We show that the RNA-binding protein hnRNPM promotes breast cancer metastasis by activating the switch of alternative splicing that occurs during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Genome-wide deep sequencing analysis suggests that hnRNPM potentiates TGFb signaling and identifies CD44 as a key downstream target of hnRNPM. hnRNPM ablation prevents TGFb-induced EMT and inhibits breast cancer metastasis in mice, whereas enforced expression of the specific CD44s splice isoform overrides the loss of hnRNPM and permits EMT and metastasis. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the ubiquitously expressed hnRNPM acts in a mesenchymal-specific manner to precisely control CD44 splice isoform switching during EMT. This restricted cell-type activity of hnRNPM is achieved by competition with ESRP1, an epithelial-splicing regulator that binds to the same cis-regulatory RNA elements and is repressed during EMT. Importantly, hnRNPM is associated with aggressive breast cancer and correlates with increased CD44s in patient specimens. These findings demonstrate a novel molecular mechanism through which tumor metastasis is endowed by the hnRNPM-mediated splicing program.

An EMT-driven alternative splicing program occurs in human breast cancer and modulates cellular phenotype.

Project description:Regulation of cell-cell junction formation and regulation of cell migration were enriched among EMT (Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition)-associated alternatively splicing events. Our analysis suggested that most EMT-associated alternative splicing events are regulated by one or more members of the RBFOX, MBNL, CELF, hnRNP or ESRP classes of splicing factors. The EMT alternative splicing signature was confirmed in human breast cancer cell lines, which could be classified into basal and luminal subtypes based exclusively on their EMTassociated splicing pattern. Expression of EMT-associated alternative mRNA transcripts was also observed in primary breast cancer samples, indicating that EMT-dependent splicing changes occur commonly in human tumors. The functional significance of EMT-associated alternative splicing was tested by expression of the epithelial-specific splicing factor ESRP1 or depletion of RBFOX2 in mesenchymal cells, both of which elicited significant changes in cell morphology and motility towards an epithelial phenotype, suggesting that splicing regulation alone can drive critical aspects of EMT-associated phenotypic changes. The molecular description obtained here may aid in the development of new diagnostic and prognostic markers for analysis of breast cancer progression.

Determination of a comprehensive alternative splicing regulatory network and the combinatorial regulation by key factors during Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition [ESRP KD]

Project description:Epithelial specific splicing regulatory protein 1 and 2 (ESRP1 and ESRP2) are important regulators of alternative splicing during EMT. To study the alternative splicing events regulated by ESRP1/2 at a genome wide scale, we used lentiviral shRNAs to knockdown ESRP1/2 in H358 cells and performed RNA-seq in biological triplicates. We used lentiviral based shRNAs targeting ESRP1 and ESRP2 to knockdown both regulators in human H358 cells. We harvested total RNA and protein from ESRP1/2 knockdown and control knockdown in biological triplicates. We made cDNA libraries for each replicate and subjected them to RNA-seq.

Transcriptomic Analysis of PNN- and ESRP1-regulation in Human Corneal Epithelial Cells

Project description:Pnn depletion in developing mouse corneal epithelium led to disrupted alternative splicing of multiple ESRP-regulated epithelial-type exons. In human corneal epithelial cells (HCET), ESRP1 and PNN displayed close localization in and around nuclear speckles and their physical association in protein complexes was identified. In this study, gene expression profiling was performed to identify PNN- and ESRP1-regulated alternative pre-mRNA splicing in human corneal epithelial cells. Immortalized human corneal epithelial cells harboring doxycycline-inducible shRNA against PNN or ESRP1 were created. Whole transcriptome array analysis on ESRP1 or PNN knockdown HCET cells revealed clear alterations in transcript level and splicing pattern of specific subsets of genes with significant overlaps in their candidate targets. Our data suggest that ESRP1 and PNN modulate alternative splicing of a specific subset of exons, but not general splicing events. ESRP1 and PNN may together participate in the regulation of epithelial-specific splicing program in a genome-wide fashion. Parental HCET, shRNA-PNN HCET, and shRNA-ESRP1 HCET cells were cultured for 3 days with/without doxycycline. Total RNA was isolated from four biological replicates of each sample group and then subjected to hGlue3_0 transcriptome array analysis.

AKAP8 inhibits tumor metastasis by antagonizing EMT-associated RNA alternative splicing

Project description:Tumor metastasis is the most lethal attribute of breast cancer, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in this process. Alternative splicing has been shown to causally contribute to EMT; however, the scope of critical splicing events and the regulatory network of splicing factors that govern them remain largely unexplored. Here we report the identification of A-Kinase Anchor Protein (AKAP8) as an EMT splicing regulatory factor that impedes EMT and breast cancer metastasis. AKAP8 not only is capable of inhibiting splicing activity of the EMT-promoting splicing regulator hnRNPM through protein-protein interaction, it also binds to RNA directly and alters splicing outcomes. Genome-wide analysis revealed that AKAP8-mediated splicing events, specifically in epithelial cells, are reversely regulated during EMT, suggesting that AKAP8 maintains an epithelial cell-state splicing program. Experimental manipulation of a newly identified AKAP8 splicing target calsyntenin-1 (CLSTN1) revealed that splice isoform switching of CLSTN1 is crucial for EMT. Mining breast cancer patient data supports the experimental findings and AKAP8 expression and the alternative splicing of CLSTN1 predict patient survival. Our work demonstrates the essentiality of RNA metabolism that impinges on metastatic breast cancer.
