YTHDF1 Amplifies Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling to Promote Intestinal Stemness

ABSTRACT: Wnt/β-catenin signaling is essential for intestinal stem cell homeostasis and aberrant activation of this signaling leads to tumorigenesis. Here we report a function of YTHDF1, an mRNA m6A reader, in mediating β-catenin hyperactivation. Wnt signaling promotes YTHDF1 expression at the translational level. YTHDF1 is dispensable for normal intestinal development in mice while essential for intestinal regeneration. Ythdf1 knockout reduces the stemness of intestinal stem cells, which blocks Wnt-driven tumorigenesis. Genome-wide analysis identifies a subset of Wnt signaling components regulated by YTHDF1 in an m6A-dependent manner. Moreover, we demonstrate that YTHDF1 promotes the translation of TCF7L2/TCF4 to augment β-catenin activation. Targeting YTHDF1 in the established tumors leads to tumor shrinkage and prolonged survival. Together, our studies uncover YTHDF1 as an integral regulator of Wnt signaling at the translational level during intestinal tumorigenesis, which might serve as a promising target for colorectal cancer therapy.

YTHDF1-N6-methyladenosine-ARHGEF2 axis promoted colorectal tumorigenesis and metastasis

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) governs the fate of RNAs through m6A readers. Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits aberrant m6A modifications and expression of m6A regulators. However, little is known about how m6A readers interpret oncogenic m6A methylome for malignant transformation. m6A reader YTHDF1 was overexpressed by copy number gain/amplification in majority of CRCs. YTHDF1 high expression and CNVs predict increased risk of CRC relapse. Transcriptome profiles of YTHDF1-high tumors exhibit highly metastatic features. YTHDF1 promoted CRC tumor cell and organoid proliferation and enhanced metastasis. Ythdf1 knockout dampened tumor growth in carcinogen-induced CRC model. Through multiomic integration, RhoA activator ARHGEF2 was characterized as the key functional YTHDF1 target based on its m6A and YTHDF1-binding signal, translation efficiency changes, protein correlations with YTHDF1 in clinical samples, and disrupted RhoA features by YTHDF1 knockdown. Moreover, YTHDF1-ARHGEF2 co-regulation was observed in YTHDF1-overexpressing metastatic sites and carcinogen-induced Ythdf1-null CRC tumors. ARHGEF2 overexpression significantly rescued RhoA signaling, tumor cell survival and invasiveness impaired by YTHDF1 knockdown both in vitro and in vivo, further confirming the essential function of ARHGEF2.

YTHDF1-regulated oncogenic translation program offers a therapeutic target for acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant modification in mRNAs, has been defined as a crucial modulator in the progression of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), while the detailed mechanism remains elusive. Here we report that YTHDF1, an m6A reader protein, is overexpressed in human AML samples with enrichment in leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Whereas YTHDF1 is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis in mice, depletion of YTHDF1 attenuates self-renewal and proliferation of patient-derived LSCs, and impedes leukemia establishment in immunodeficient mice. Mechanistically, YTHDF1 promotes the translation of diverse m6A-modified oncogene mRNAs particularly cyclin E2. We applied a structure-based virtual screening of FDA-approved drugs and identified tegaserod as a potential YTHDF1 inhibitor. Tegaserod blocks the direct binding of YTHDF1 with m6A-modified mRNAs and inhibits YTHDF1-regulated mRNA translation. Moreover, tegaserod inhibits leukemogenesis in vitro and in mice, phenocopying the loss of YTHDF1. Together, our study defines YTHDF1 as an integral regulator of AML progression at the translational level and identifies tegaserod as a potential therapeutic agent for AML by targeting YTHDF1.

Transcription profiling of mouse intestinal crypts upon deletion of beta-catenin

Project description:The Wnt signaling pathway is deregulated in over 90% of human colorectal cancers. Î² Catenin, the central signal transducer of the Wnt pathway, can directly modulate gene expression by interacting with transcription factors of the TCF/LEF-family. In the present study we investigate the role of Wnt signaling in the homeostasis of intestinal epithelium using tissue-specific, inducible beta-catenin gene ablation in adult mice. Block of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling resulted in rapid loss of transient-amplifying cells and crypt structures. Importantly, intestinal stem cells were induced to terminally differentiate upon deletion of beta-catenin resulting in a complete block of intestinal homeostasis and fatal loss of intestinal function. Transcriptional profiling of mutant crypt mRNA isolated by laser capture micro dissection confirmed those observations and allowed to identify genes potentially responsible for the functional preservation of intestinal stem cells. Experiment Overall Design: laser capture microdissection of intestinal crypts, control vs. beta-catenin mutant (2days after induction of deletion by tamoxifen), two rounds of amplification of mRNA

Gene expression and m6A profiling for AGS cells with sh-NC or sh-YTHDF1 [RNA-seq and MeRIP-seq]

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is implicated in the progression of multiple cancers via influencing mRNA modification. Intersection of RNA-seq, Methylated RNA immune-precipitation (MeRIP)-seq, co-immunoprecipitation, RNA pull-down and MeRIP-PCR were used to identify YTHDF1- modified USP14 and its m6A levels in GC cells. Intersection assays revealed that YTHDF1 promoted USP14 protein translation in an m6A-dependent manner. Our data suggested that m6A reader YTHDF1 facilitated tumorigenesis and metastasis of GC by promoting USP14 protein translation and might act as a clinical therapy for GC.

m6A-facilitated hippocampal learning and memory through Ythdf1

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most prevalent internal RNA modification in mammalian messenger RNAs (mRNAs). While m6A has been shown to mark groups of mRNAs for coordinated degradation in various physiological processes, the relevance of m6A in affecting translation remains to be determined in intact biological systems in vivo. Here we show that, through its reader protein Ythdf1, m6A promotes a pulse of protein synthesis of target transcripts in response to neuronal stimuli in the adult mouse hippocampus, thereby facilitating learning and memory processes. Mice with genetic deletion of the Ythdf1 gene (Ythdf1-/-) exhibit learning and memory defects, as well as impaired hippocampal synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation (LTP). Selective re-expression of Ythdf1 in the hippocampus of adult Ythdf1-/- mice fully rescues the behavioral and synaptic defects, while hippocampus-specific knockdown of Ythdf1 or Mettl3, the catalytic component of m6A methyltransferase complex, recapitulates the hippocampal deficiency in adult mice. At the molecular level, transcriptome-wide mapping of m6A sites and RNA binding sites of Ythdf1 on hippocampal mRNAs using crosslinking immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) uncovered key neuronal genes, including those involved in synaptic transmission and long-term potentiation. Nascent protein labelling and tether reporter assays in cultured hippocampal neurons revealed that Ythdf1 is critical for initiating a pulse of protein synthesis of target transcripts in a neuronal-stimulus-dependent manner. Collectively, our results uncover a pathway of mRNA m6A methylation in learning and memory, which is mediated through Ythdf1 in response to stimuli.

Expression data from Control or TRIB3-silenced HCT-8 cells

Project description:To determine the critical mediator of TRIB3-enhanced Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, we examined the expression profile of genes that might regulate Wnt/beta-catenin by using mRNA microarrays. Aberrant activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway is a major reason for the tumorigenesis of Colon cancer. However, no specific drug targeting this pathway has been in the market. Surgery combined with cytotoxic drugs are still the major therapy methods toward colon cancer. These highlighted the need for therapeutics with alternative mechanisms of action. Here we report that the elevated TRIB3 expression associates positively with Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. TRIB3 interacts with beta-catenin and TCF4 to enhance the associations between TCF4/beta-catenin target genes’ promoters, which upregulates the transcriptional activity of beta-catenin, thus to promote the CSC stemness and colon cancer tumorigenesis.

RNA m6A-Ythdf1 in dendritic cells triggers anti-tumor immunity (ribo-seq and m6a-seq in GMDCs)

Project description:Emerging evidence emphasizes the important role of tumor neoantigen in generating the spontaneous antitumor immune response and predicting the clinical response to immunotherapies. Despite the presence of numerous neoantigens, complete tumor elimination rarely occurs in majority of patients due to failures in mounting a sufficient and lasting antitumor immunity. Here we show that the durable neoanitgen-specific immunity is regulated by a m6A-binding protein, Ythdf1. In contrast to wild-type mice, Ythdf1-deficient (Ythdf1-/-) mice generate more antigen-specific CD8+ T cell response for persistent tumor control. Loss of Ythdf1 in dendritic cell (DC) results in an enhanced cross-presentation of tumor antigen and cross-priming of CD8+ T cell in vivo. To confirm our observations, we performed Ribo-Seq to analyze the translational efficiency of genes in DCs and performed m6A-seq to locate the m6A sites.
