MTR4 drives tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma by controlling alternative splicing of metabolic genes through PTBP1 recruitment

ABSTRACT: Aberrant alternative splicing (AS) is implicated in cancer metabolic reprogramming that supplies cancer cells with energy and substrates for biosynthesis. Therefore, the elucidation of the mechanism underlying aberrant AS in cancer cells is important for developing specific and effective therapy. We demonstrated that MTR4, a RNA helicase important for RNA quality surveillance, is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and is correlated with increased glycolysis and poor prognosis of HCC patients. MTR4 is required for tumorigenesis of HCC cells by promoting glycolysis and expression of glycolytic genes. MTR4 binds to specific motifs of pre-mRNAs, including those of the key glycolytic genes, and regulates their AS by recruiting PTBP1. We discovered that MTR4 is a direct transcriptional target of c-Myc, suggesting that MTR4 mediates the metabolic function of c-Myc in HCC. These findings reveal mechanisms driving cancer-specific AS profile and present MTR4 as a specific therapeutic target for treating HCC.

Rip-seq of MTR4 in PLC/PRF5

Project description:Metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis is required for tumorigenesis by providing cancer cells with energy and substrates of biosynthesis, and also plays a key role in inducing immune suppressive tumor microenvironment that inhibits tumor immunotherapy. Therefore, to develop more effective cancer therapy, it is important to elucidate mechanisms that control cancer metabolic switch. MTR4 is a RNA helicase associated with nuclear exosome that plays key roles in RNA processing and surveillance. We demonstrated that MTR4 is frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and this predicts poor prognosis of HCC patients. MTR4 is required for HCC tumorigenesis by maintaining cancer metabolic switch. Mechanistically, MTR4 is required for the expression of critical glycolytic proteins such as GLUT1 and PKM2 by binding to their pre-mRNA and ensuring correct alternative splicing. c-Myc binds to the promoter of MTR4 gene and is required for MTR4 expression, indicating that MTR4 is a key mediator of c-Myc function in promoting cancer metabolism. These findings reveal an important pathway to drive cancer metabolic switch and present MTR4 as a promising therapeutic target for treating HCC.

MNX1-AS1, a c-Myc induced lncRNA, promotes the Warburg effect by regulating PKM2 nuclear translocation

Project description:Altered glycolysis is the most fundamental metabolic change associated with the Warburg effect. However, the precise mechanisms are not completely understood. Here we dissect how MNX1-AS1 reinforces the Warburg effect through facilitating the non-glycolytic actions of PKM2 in the nucleus. We found that MNX1-AS1 expression was frequently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the context of HCC, we show MNX1-AS1 acts as a scaffold to promote interactions between PKM2 and importin α5. Upon EGFR activation, the resulting ternary complex drives the translocation of PKM2 into the nucleus. In consequence, glycolytic pathway components including key mediators of the Warburg effect (LDHA, Glut1 and PDK1) are upregulated. Manipulating MNX1-AS1 elicited robust effects on glycolysis associated with marked changes in HCC growth in vitro and in vivo, indicative of the significant contribution of MNX1-AS1 to tumorigenesis. Moreover, while MNX1-AS1 expression is driven by c-Myc, its actions associated with PKM2 were shown to be downstream and independent of c-Myc. Given the status of MNX1-AS1 as a pan-cancer upregulated lncRNA, this implicitly highlights the potential of targeting MNX1-AS1 to selectively counter the Warburg effect in a range of tumor types.

USP29-mediated HIF1a stabilization promotes Sorafenib resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by upregulating glycolysis

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms underlying evasive resistance in cancer is an unmet medical need to improve the efficacy of current therapies. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), aberrant expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1 a (HIF1a) and increased aerobic glycolysis metabolism represent drivers of the development of resistance to therapy with the multi-kinase inhibitor Sorafenib. However, it has remained unknown how HIF1a is activated and how its activity and the subsequent induction of aerobic glycolysis promotes Sorafenib resistance in HCC. Here, we report the ubiquitin-specific peptidase USP29 as a new regulator of HIF1a and of aerobic glycolysis during the development of Sorafenib resistance in HCC. In particular, we have identified USP29 as a critical deubiquitylase (DUB) of HIF1a, which directly deubiquitinates and stabilizes HIF1a and, thus, promotes its transcriptional activity. Among the transcriptional targets of HIF1a is the gene encoding for hexokinase 2 (HK2), a key enzyme of the glycolytic pathway. The absence of USP29, and thus of HIF1a transcriptional activity, reduces the levels of aerobic glycolysis and reinstalls the sensitivity to Sorafenib treatment in Sorafenib-resistant HCC cells in vitro and in xenograft transplantation mouse models in vivo. Notably, the absence of USP29 and high HK2 expression levels correlate with the response of HCC patients to Sorafenib therapy. Together, the data demonstrate that, as a DUB of HIF1a, USP29 promotes Sorafenib resistance in HCC cells by upregulating glycolysis, thereby opening new avenues for therapeutically targeting Sorafenib-resistant HCC in patients.

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry of wt Mtr4 with various RNA substrates

Project description:Mtr4 is a eukaryotic RNA helicase required for RNA decay by the nuclear exosome. Previous studies have shown how RNA enroute to the exosome threads through the highly conserved helicase core of Mtr4. Mtr4 also contains an arch domain, although details of potential interactions between the arch and RNA have been elusive. To understand the interaction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mtr4 with various RNAs, we have characterized RNA binding in solution using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, and affinity and unwinding assays. We have identified RNA interactions within the helicase core that are consistent with existing structures and do not vary between tRNA, single-stranded RNA, and double-stranded RNA constructs. We have also identified novel RNA interactions with a region of the arch known as the fist or KOW. These interactions are important for RNA unwinding and vary in strength depending on RNA structure and length. They account for Mtr4 discrimination between different RNAs. These interactions further drive Mtr4 to adopt a closed conformation characterized by reduced dynamics of the arch arm and intra-domain contacts between the fist and helicase core.

MPP6 stimulates both RRP6 and DIS3 to degrade a specified subset of MTR4-sensitive substrates in the human nucleus

Project description:Recent in vitro reconstitution analyses have proven that the physical interaction between the exosome core and MTR4 helicase, which promotes the exosome activity, is maintained by either MPP6 or RRP6. However, knowledge regarding the function of MPP6 with respect to in vivo exosome activity remains scarce. Here we demonstrate a facilitative function of MPP6 that composes a specific part of MTR4-dependent substrate decay by the human exosome. Using RNA polymerase II-transcribed poly(A)+ substrate accumulation as an indicator of a perturbed exosome, we found functional redundancy between RRP6 and MPP6 in the decay of these poly(A)+ transcripts. MTR4 binding to the exosome core via MPP6 was essential for MPP6 to exert its redundancy with RRP6. However, at least for the decay of our identified exosome substrates, MTR4 recruitment by MPP6 was not functionally equivalent to recruitment by RRP6. Genome-wide classification of substrates based on their sensitivity to each exosome component revealed that MPP6 deals with a specific range of substrates, and highlights the importance of MTR4 for their decay. Considering recent findings of competitive binding to the exosome between auxiliary complexes, our results suggest that the MPP6-incorporated MTR4-exosome complex is one of multiple alternative complexes rather than the prevailing one.

An Mtr4/ZFC3H1 complex facilitates turnover of unstable nuclear RNAs to prevent their cytoplasmic transport and global translational repression

Project description:Many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are unstable and rapidly degraded in the nucleus by the nuclear exosome. An exosome adaptor complex called NEXT (nuclear exosome targeting) functions to facilitate turnover of some of these lncRNAs. Here we show that knockdown of one NEXT subunit, Mtr4, but neither of the other two subunits, resulted in accumulation of two types of lncRNAs: prematurely terminated RNAs (ptRNAs) and upstream antisense RNAs (uaRNAs). This suggested a NEXT-independent Mtr4 function, and, consistent with this, we isolated a distinct complex containing Mtr4 and the zinc finger protein ZFC3H1. Strikingly, knockdown of either protein not only increased pt/uaRNA levels but also led to their accumulation in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, all pt/uaRNAs examined associated with active ribosomes, but, paradoxically, this correlated with a global reduction in heavy polysomes and overall repression of translation. Our findings highlight a critical role for Mtr4/ZFC3H1 in nuclear surveillance of naturally unstable lncRNAs to prevent their accumulation, transport to the cytoplasm, and resultant disruption of protein synthesis.
