GTF2I mutation induces metabolic alterations and cell transformation in thymic epithelial cells [II]


ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of TETs are poorly understood. Recently we reported a common missense mutation on GTF2I gene in thymic tumors and hypothesized that GTF2I mutation might contribute to thymic tumorigenesis. Expression of mutant TFII-I altered the transcriptome of thymic epithelial cells and up-regulated several oncogenic genes. Using CRISPR/Cas9n, Gtf2i T1211A knock-in cells exhibited distinct features of cancerous cells including cell transformation, aneuploidy, tumor growth in xenograft, and survival after DNA damage or glucose deprivation. We also observed that Gtf2i mutation increased the expression of several glycolytic enzymes, cyclooxygenase-2, and altered lipid metabolism. Elevated COX-2 expression by Gtf2i mutation was required for survival under metabolic stress and cellular transformation of thymic epithelial cells. Our findings identify GTF2I mutation as a new oncogenic driver mutation that is responsible for transformation of thymic epithelial cells.
