Targeted profiling of RNA translation reveals mTOR-4EBP1/2-independent translational regulation of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins

ABSTRACT: The PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway is a master regulator of RNA translation. Pharmacological inhibition of this pathway preferentially and coordinately suppresses, in a 4EBP1/2-dependent manner, translation of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins. However, it remains unclear whether mTOR-4EBP1/2 is the exclusive translational regulator of this group of genes, and furthermore, systematic searches for novel translational modulators have been immensely challenging due to difficulties in scaling existing RNA translation profiling assays. Here, we developed a rapid and highly scalable approach for gene-specific quantitation of RNA translation, termed Targeted Profiling of RNA Translation (TPRT). We applied this technique in a chemical screen for novel translational modulators, and identified numerous preclinical and clinical therapeutic compounds, with diverse nominal targets, that preferentially suppress translation of ribosomal proteins. Surprisingly, some of these compounds act in a manner that bypasses canonical regulation by mTOR-4EBP1/2. Instead, these compounds exert their translational effects in a manner that is dependent upon GCN2-eIF2α, a central signaling axis within the integrated stress response. Furthermore, we were also able to identify metabolic perturbations that also suppress ribosomal protein translation in an mTOR-independent manner. Together, we describe a novel translational assay that is directly applicable to large-scale RNA translation studies, and that enabled us to identify a non-canonical, mTOR-independent mode for translational regulation of ribosomal proteins.

Selective Inhibitors of mTORC1 Activate 4EBP1 and Suppress Tumor Growth

Project description:The clinical benefit of current mTOR inhibitors is limited, perhaps reflecting their intrinsic pharmacological profiles. Rapamycin analogs selectively inhibit mTORC1, but fail to suppress phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate 4EBP1, a translational repressor that is a key driver of oncogenic mTORC1 signaling. mTOR kinase active-site inhibitors fully suppress mTORC1 and phosphorylation of its substrates, but are active against mTORC2 and additional kinases, potentially contributing to tolerability limitations. The prototype bi-steric inhibitor RapaLink-1 exploits the selective mTORC1 interactions of rapamycin and the broad mTOR kinase inhibitory effects of an active-site inhibitor, through covalent linkage of the two pharmacophores to achieve complete mTORC1/2 inhibition. We demonstrate that the anti-proliferative activity of RapaLink-1 is dependent upon mTORC1 and suppression of 4EBP1 phosphorylation. Using a rational design strategy, we tuned the affinities of the rapamycin core and ATP-mimetic moieties to create novel bi-steric inhibitors with enhanced mTORC1 selectivity and potency against 4EBP1 phosphorylation. mTORC1-selective bi-steric compounds produced durable inhibition of 4EBP1 phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and drove tumor regressions at well-tolerated doses in xenograft models of breast cancer.

Transcription profiling of human 786-O clear cell renal carcinoma cells reveals small molecule inhibitors of HIF-2a translation link its 5 UTR Iron-Responsive Element (IRE) to oxygen sensing

Project description:Cells transiently adapt to hypoxia by globally decreasing protein translation. However, specific proteins needed to respond to hypoxia evade this translational repression. The mechanisms of this phenomenon remain unclear. We screened for and identified small molecules that selectively decrease HIF-2a translation in an mTOR independent manner, by enhancing the binding of Iron Regulatory Protein 1 (IRP1) to a recently reported Iron-Responsive Element (IRE) within the 5â-untranslated region (UTR) of the HIF-2a message. Knocking down the expression of IRP1 by shRNA abolished the effect of the compounds. Hypoxia de-represses HIF-2a translation by disrupting the IRP1- HIF-2a IRE interaction. Thus, this chemical genetic analysis describes a molecular mechanism by which translation of the HIF-2a message is maintained during conditions of cellular hypoxia through inhibition of IRP-1 dependent repression. It also provides the chemical tools for studying this phenomenon. Experiment Overall Design: 3 replicate samples of 786-O human Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma cells untreated, mock treated with DMSO or treated with either of 4 HIF-2a inhibitor compounds identified by chemical genetic screening.

Frequent 4EBP1 amplification induces synthetic dependence on FGFR signaling in cancer

Project description:The eIF4E translation initiation factor has oncogenic properties and concordantly, the inhibitory eIF4E-binding protein (4EBP1) is considered a tumor suppressor. The exact molecular effects of 4EBP1 activation in cancer are still unknown. Surprisingly, 4EBP1 is a target of genomic copy number gains (Chr. 8p11) in breast and lung cancer. We notice that 4EBP1 gains are genetically linked to gains in neighboring genes including WHSC1L1 and FGFR1. Our results show that FGFR1 gains act to attenuate the function of 4EBP1 via PI3K mediated phosphorylation at Thr37/46, Ser65, and Thr70 sites. This implies that not 4EBP1 but instead FGFR1 is the genetic target of Chr. 8p11 gains in breast and lung cancer. Accordingly, these tumors show increased sensitivity to FGFR1 and PI3K inhibition and this is a therapeutic vulnerability through restoring the tumor-suppressive function of 4EBP1. Ribosome profiling reveals genes involved in insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and inositol pathway to be the relevant translational targets of 4EBP1. These mRNAs are among the top 200 translation targets and are highly enriched for structure and sequence motifs in their 5’UTR that depends on the 4EBP1-EIF4E activity. In summary, we identify the translational targets of 4EBP1-EIF4E that facilitate the tumor suppressor function of 4EBP1 in cancer.

mTOR-dependent translation amplifies microglia priming in ageing

Project description:Microglia maintain homeostasis in the brain. However, with age, they become primed and respond more strongly to inflammatory stimuli. We show here that microglia from aged mice upregulated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 signaling regulating translation, as well as cytokine protein levels. Genetic ablation of mTOR signaling showed a dual, yet contrasting effect on microglia priming: it caused an NF-kB-dependent upregulation of priming genes at mRNA level; however, mice displayed reduced cytokine protein levels, diminished microglia activation and milder sickness behavior. The effect on translation was dependent on reduced phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and increased 4EBP1 expression, resulting in decreased binding of EIF4E to EIF4G. Similar changes were present in aged human microglia and in damage-associated microglia, indicating upregulation of mTOR-dependent translation is an essential step licensing microglia priming in ageing and neurodegeneration.

Translation elongation factor 2 depletion by siRNA in mouse liver leads to mTOR-independent translational upregulation of ribosomal protein genes

Project description:Due to breakthroughs in RNAi and genome editing methods in the past decade, it is now easier than ever to study fine details of protein synthesis in animal models. However, most of our understanding of translation comes from unicellular organisms and cultured mammalian cells. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of perturbing protein synthesis in a mouse liver by targeting translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2) with RNAi. We were able to achieve over 90% knockdown efficacy and maintain it for 2 weeks effectively slowing down the rate of translation elongation. As the total protein yield declined, both proteomics and ribosome profiling assays showed robust translational upregulation of ribosomal proteins relative to other proteins. Although all these genes bear the TOP regulatory motif, the branch of the mTOR pathway responsible for translation regulation was not activated. Paradoxically, coordinated translational upregulation of ribosomal proteins only occurred in the liver but not in murine cell culture. Thus, the upregulation of ribosomal transcripts likely occurred via passive mTOR-independent mechanisms. Impaired elongation sequesters ribosomes on mRNA and creates a shortage of free ribosomes. This leads to preferential translation of transcripts with high initiation rates such as ribosomal proteins. Furthermore, severe eEF2 shortage reduces the negative impact of positively charged amino acids frequent in ribosomal proteins on ribosome progression.

LARP1 mRNP scaffolds mTORC1 to stimulate translation initiation of an essential class of mRNAs

Project description:The RNA biding protein, LARP1, has been proposed to function downstream of mTORC1 to positively regulate the translation of 5M-bM-^@M-^YTOP mRNAs such as ribosome protein (RP) mRNAs. However, its regulatory roles in mTORC1-mediated translation remain unclear. PAR-CLIP of LARP1 revealed its direct and dynamic interactions with RP mRNAs through pyrimidine-enriched sequences in the 5M-bM-^@M-^YUTR of RP mRNAs when mTOR activity is inhibited. Importantly, this LARP1 is a direct substrate of mTORC1 and S6K1/Akt, and phosphorylated LARP1 scaffolds mTORC1 on translation-competent mRNAs to facilitate 4EBP1 and S6K1 phosphorylation. Ablation of LARP1 causes multiple defects in the processes of translation including abnormal eIF4G1 interaction with RP mRNAs and inefficient RP mRNA elongation thereby reducing ribosome biogenesis and cell proliferation. These observations illustrate that LARP1 functions both an effector and a regulator for local mTORC1 activity, and acts as a molecular switch for ribosome biogenesis by sensing growth factor/nutrient signaling. LARP1-bound RNA regions were sequenced from HEK293T cells under growing or mTOR-inactive conditions. In parallel, mRNA abundance was quantified, in biological duplicate, from HEK293T cells under the same conditions.

Genome-wide translational analysis of the effect of acute endurance exercise on mouse gastrocnemius

Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the translational regulation of skeletal muscle during acute endurance exercise. Methods: We used mRNA-Seq and ribosome profiling to examine transcriptional and translational regulation, respectively. Result: There were clear distinctions between the profiles of transcription and translation even at a basal condition. TOP-motif genes were translationally suppressed immediately after the exercise. Other genes, such as Slc25a25 was significantly translationally up-regulated presumably in a mTOR-independent manner. Conclusion: There were diverse regulation between transcription and translation. Although many focused on overall protein synthesis to understand the effect of exercise, translational regulation of individual genes are required. Transcriptional and translational profiles of mouse gastrocnemius with or without acute endurance exercise were generated using Ion PGM sequencer.
