SNORA42 Promote Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Development through interacting with DHX9

ABSTRACT: Oesophageal cancer is a high malignant cancer and oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most common subtype of oesophageal cancer. Here, we identified H/ACA box snoRNA42 (SNORA42) was upregulated in ESCC and can be applied as the diagnostic and prognostic marker. Specifically, overexpression of SNORA42 promoted ESCC proliferation, migration and invasion ability whereas knockdown of SNORA42 inhibited these phenotypes in vitro and in vivo. Using RNA pull-down assay combined with Mass Spectrometry technique, we identified protein DHX9 interacted with SNORA42. DHX9 protein expression was up-regulated in ESCC and had a positive correlation with the expression of SNORA42. Furthermore, the effects of SNORA42 overexpression on ESCC phenotypes can be reversed by knockdown of DHX9. Mechanically, SNORA42 promoted DHX9 stabilized by attenuating its ubiquitination and degradation. From KEGG analysis of next-generation sequencing, we identified the NF-kappa B pathway was one of the most regulated pathways by SNORA42. SNORA42 enhanced phosphorylation of p65 in the nucleus. Moreover, SNORA42 exerted its function through promoting DHX9 interacted with p-65, inducing transcription of NF-kappa B target genes. These findings suggest that SNORA42 promotes ESCC tumorgenesis via SNORA42/DHX9/p65 axis

Project description:LMX1B is a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor essential for development. Putative LMX1B target genes have been identified through mouse gene targeting studies; however, in the absence of in vivo molecular characterization of their regulation, their identity as direct LMX1B targets remains hypothetical. We describe here the first molecular characterization of LMX1B target gene regulation. A tetracycline-inducible expression system and microarray analysis showed that a subset of NF-kappa B target genes, including IL-6 and IL-8 are upregulated in LMX1B-expressing HeLa cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that LMX1B binds to the proximal promoter region of IL-6 and IL-8 in vivo, in the vicinity of the characterized kappa B site, and that LMX1B recruitment correlates with an increased NF-kappa B DNA association. Inhibition of NF-kappa B activity by short interfering RNA-mediated knock-down of p65 impairs LMX1B-dependent induction of NF-kappa B target genes, while activation of NF-kappa B activity by TNF-alpha results in a synergistic induction of these genes by LMX1B. IL-6 promoter-driven reporter assays showed that the kappa B site and an adjacent putative LMX1B binding motif are both involved in LMX1B-mediated transcription. Expression of a number of NF-kappa B target genes is affected in the kidney of Lmx1b-/- knock-out mice, thus supporting the biological relevance of the data obtained in the human cell line. Together, these data demonstrate for the first time that LMX1B directly regulates transcription of a subset of NF-kappa B target genes in cooperation with nuclear p50/p65 NF-kappa B. Human subset (GSM303547-GSM303550): Two biological replicates of non-expressing HtTA-LMX1B cells (grown in doxycycline-containing medium) and of LMX1B-expressing HtTA-LMX1B cells (grown for 4 days in doxycycline-free medium) were processed for gene expression array analyses using an Affymetrix platform. Mouse subset (GSM304379-GSM304384): Three kidney samples from newborn wild-type mice and from newborn Lmx1b-/- knock-out mice were processed for gene expression array analyses using an Agilent platform.

Project description:Sensing of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is an important component of innate immunity. Proteins like PKR and MDA5 recognize dsRNA and activate various pathways to fight viral infection. In addition to viral dsRNA, many endogenous RNAs containing double-stranded regions can be misrecognized as immunogenic. The RNA editing enzyme ADAR1, specifically its p150 isoform, has been shown to suppress activation of PKR and MDA5 through its A-to-I editing activity. While the cytoplasmic ADAR1-p150 isoform has been well established within this role, the functions of the nuclear ADAR1-p110 isoform are less understood. To address this knowledge gap, we utilized proximity labeling by APEX2 to identify putative ADAR1-p110 interacting proteins. We identified 110 proteins across three breast cancer cell lines that either interact with p110 or are within close proximity. Many of these proteins have known roles in RNA metabolism. Nine of the identified proteins belong to the DEAD or DEAH box families of RNA helicases, including DHX9. DHX9 is overexpressed in breast cancer, with expression closely correlated with that of p110. By co-immunoprecipitation we confirmed that p110 interacts with DHX9. Knockdown of DHX9 in several triple-negative breast cancer cell lines caused cell death and activation of the dsRNA sensor PKR. In two cell lines that are refractory to knockdown of ADAR1, the combined knockdown of DHX9 and ADAR1 caused a substantial increase in PKR activity, where knockdown of either alone had no effect. Knockdown of DHX9 and ADAR1 caused activation of the type I IFN pathway, RNase L and NF-KB signaling. Activation of these proteins and pathways was not seen with individual knockdown of ADAR1 or DHX9. Activation of PKR following combined knockdown of ADAR1 and DHX9 could be rescued by expression of p110, p150, DHX9, and catalytically inactive DHX9. Additionally PKR activation could be rescued by the dsRBM of DHX9, revealing an important role for dsRBMs in suppressing PKR activation. Together these results reveal an important role for DHX9 in suppressing dsRNA sensing by multiple pathways.
