EGFR/Src/Erk-Stabilized YTHDF2 Promotes Cholesterol Dysregulation and Invasive Growth of Glioblastoma [RNA-Seq]


ABSTRACT: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling is constitutively activated in majority of GBM and is associated with a worse prognosis. Here we show that EGFR is responsible for overexpression of the m6A "reader" YTHDF2 in GBM through the EGFR/Src/ERK signaling pathway. YTHDF2 overexpression clinically correlates with poor glioma patient prognosis. EGFR signaling stabilizes YTHDF2 protein through phosphorylation of YTHDF2 serine 39 and threonine 381 by ERK1/2. YTHDF2 is required for GBM cell proliferation, invasion and tumorigenesis. YTHDF2 facilitates m6A-dependent mRNA decay of LXRA and HIVEP2, both are genes impacting glioma patient survival. YTHDF2 promotes tumorigenesis of GBM cells largely through downregulation of LXRA and HIVEP2. Further, YTHDF2 inhibits LXRA-dependent cholesterol homeostasis in GBM cells. Together, our findings extend the landscape of EGFR downstream circuit, uncover novel function for YTHDF2 in GBM tumorigenesis, and highlight an essential role of RNA m6A methylation in cholesterol homeostasis.
