2-hydroxyglutarate drives whole-genome hypermethylation in kidney cancer cells with inactivated VHL

ABSTRACT: Hypermethylation of tumor suppressors and other aberrations of DNA methylation in tumors play a significant role in cancer progression. DNA methylation can be affected by various environmental conditions including hypoxia. The response to hypoxia is mainly achieved through activation of the transcription program associated with HIF1a transcription factor. VHL inactivation by genetic or epigenetic events, which also induces aberrant activation of HIF1a, is the most common driver event for renal cancer. With whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and LC-MS, we demonstrated that VHL inactivation induced global genome hypermethylation in human kidney cancer cells under normoxic conditions. This effect was reverted by exogenous expression of wild-type VHL. We show that global genome hypermethylation in VHL mutants can be explained by the accumulation of 2-hydroxyglutarate -- a metabolite that inhibits DNA demethylation by Tet enzymes.

Gene expression changes in response to VHL-reintroduction in metastatic 786-M1A cells.

Project description:Inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene, VHL, is an archetypical tumor-initiating event in clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) that leads to the activation of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs). However, VHL mutation status in ccRCC is not correlated with clinical outcome. Here we show that during ccRCC progression, cancer cells exploit diverse epigenetic alterations to empower a branch of the VHL-HIF pathway for metastasis, and the strength of this activation is associated with poor clinical outcome. By analyzing metastatic subpopulations of VHL-deficient ccRCC cells, we discovered an epigenetically altered VHL-HIF response that is specific to metastatic ccRCC. Focusing on the two most prominent pro-metastatic VHL-HIF target genes, we show that loss of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-dependent histone H3 Lys27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) activates HIF-driven chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression in support of chemotactic cell invasion, whereas loss of DNA methylation enables HIF-driven cytohesin 1 interacting protein (CYTIP) expression to protect cancer cells from death cytokine signals. Thus, metastasis in ccRCC is based on an epigenetically expanded output of the tumor-initiating pathway. Gene expression data from metastatic 786-M1A cells with and without reintroduced HA-VHL. The empty vector, pBabe-puro, was used as control.

Transcription profiling of HIF dependent and independent effects of VHL inactivation in C. elegans

Project description:The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor functions as a ubiquitin ligase that mediates proteolytic inactivation of hydroxylated a subunits of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Although studies of VHL defective renal carcinoma cells suggest the existence of other VHL tumor suppressor pathways, dysregulation of the HIF transcriptional cascade has extensive effects that make it difficult to distinguish whether, and to what extent, observed abnormalities in these cells represent effects on pathways distinct from HIF. Here, we report on a genetic analysis of HIF dependent and independent effects of VHL inactivation by studying gene expression patterns in C. elegans. We show tight conservation of the HIF-1/VHL-1/EGL-9 hydroxylase pathway. However, persisting differential gene expression in hif-1 versus hif-1; vhl-1 double mutant worms clearly distinguished HIF-1 independent effects of VHL-1 inactivation. Genomic clustering, predicted functional similarities, and a common pattern of dysregulation in both vhl-1 worms and a set of mutants (dpy-18, let-268, gon-1, mig-17 and unc-6), with different defects in extracellular matrix formation, suggest that dysregulation of these genes reflects a discrete HIF-1 independent function of VHL-1 that is connected with extracellular matrix function.

Next Generation Sequencing of 786-O-Ctrl and786-O-VHL Transcriptomes

Project description:Inactivation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is critical to clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) and VHL syndrome. VHL loss leads to stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIFα) and other substrate proteins, which may drive various tumor-promoting pathways. This process is likely reversible, because even in the highly aggressive human VHL-deficient ccRCC cell line 786-O, restoring VHL expression almost completely abolishes orthotopic tumor formation in immuno-deficient mice. This result highlights the potential of treating ccRCC by re-expressing VHL with gene therapy. However, there is inadequate understanding of the consequence of VHL restoration at the molecular level. Here, we reinstalled VHL expression in 786-O and performed transcriptome, proteome and ubiquitome profiling to assess the molecular impact.

VHL inhibitor binding increases intracellular level of VHL

Project description:The von–Hippel Lindau (VHL) protein is a tumour suppressor protein frequently mutated in the VHL disease, which functions as substrate recognition subunit of a Cul2 E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRL2VHL). CRL2VHL plays an important role in oxygen sensing, by binding and targeting Hypoxia Inducible Factor-alpha subunits (HIF-alpha) for ubiquitination and degradation. VHL is also commonly hijacked by heterobifunctional degrader molecules known as proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs). In previous work we reported the structure-based design and functional characterisation of VHL inhibitors (VH032 and VH298) that induce the HIF response in cells. Here, we use unbiased quantitative mass spectrometry to identify the proteomic changes elicited by the VHL inhibitor and compare this to hypoxia or broad-spectrum prolyl-hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzyme inhibitor IOX2. Our results demonstrate the VHL inhibitor selectively activates the HIF response that vastly overlaps with hypoxia- and IOX2-induced proteomic changes. Interestingly, VHL inhibitors were found to selectively upregulate a single protein, which is VHL itself. Our analysis revealed that this occurs via protein stabilisation of VHL isoforms and not via changes in transcript levels. Increased VHL levels upon VH298 treatment resulted in turn to reduced levels of HIF-1α protein. Our results demonstrate the high specificity of VHL inhibitors and suggest that use of these inhibitors would not produce overtly side effects due to prolonged HIF stabilisation. They also exemplify the concept that small-molecule binding induced protein stabilisation can increase protein levels inside cells.

VHL/HIF2a axis alters transcriptomic profiles in ccRCC

Project description:VHL loss is the most common genetic alteration event in ccRCC. VHL loss stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF2a). We compared the changes in transcriptomics profiles after VHL restoration or HIF2a siRNA knockdown in 786-O cells.

786-O and 786-VHL in EMCV study

Project description:786-0 is a cell line derived from a clear cell renal carcinoma. Previous studies have shown that the 786-O cell line harbors an inactivating mutation in the von-Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene. Mutations in the VHL gene occur in the majority of sporadic clear cell renal cell. To determine how inactivation of the VHL affects cellular functions, we created a derivative of 786-0, which we call 786-VHL in which a functional allele of VHL has been introduced back into the 786-O cell line. The renal cell carcinoma cell line 786-0, which harbors a mutated allele of VHL, was compared to a cell line derived from 786-0, termed 786-VHL, that contains a functional allele of VHL. Genes whose expression characteristics were dependent on functional VHL were identified.
