KDM6A(UTX) is an epigenetic gatekeeper of mTORC1 signalling in cancer

ABSTRACT: Large-scale genome sequencing efforts of human tumors identified epigenetic modifiers as one of the most frequently mutated gene class in human cancer. However, how these mutations drive tumor development and progression is largely unknown. Here, we identify the histone demethylase KDM6A as an important tumor suppressor in solid cancers, such as liver cancer and pancreatic cancer. KDM6A-deficient tumors show hyperactivation of mTORC1 signaling, whereas endogenous KDM6A re-expression in established KDM6A-deficient tumors diminishes mTORC1 activity by fostering the expression of crucial negative pathway regulators, such as DEPTOR, TSC1, and TSC2, resulting in tumor regression. Importantly, KDM6A expression in human tumors correlates with mTORC1 activity and KDM6A-deficient tumors exhibit increased sensitivity to mTORC1 inhibition. Hence, our results link KDM6A-dependent epigenetic remodeling to mTORC1 signaling and provide a potential therapeutic strategy for KDM6A-deficient tumors.

Silencing of KDM6A regulates TGF-β signaling pathway in MCF10A cells

Project description:Massive parallel sequencing projects identified KDM6A as a tumor suppressor gene with recurrent loss-of-function mutations multiple cancers. However, in breast cancer, reports on the functional role of KDM6A is paradoxical or even puzzling, suggesting the role of KDM6A may be context dependent. We sought to investigate the functional role of KDM6A in triple negative breast cancer with using MCF10A cells.

Truncated KDM6A exhibits differential chromatin occupancy and regulatory interactions

Project description:Genome-wide studies characterizing mutational landscape of bladder cancer revealed the exceptionally high rate of chromatin modifier genes in bladder cancer. Thus, epigenetic deregulation is a critical theme which needs further investigation for bladder cancer research. One of the highly mutated genes in bladder cancer is KDM6A, functioning as H3K27 demethylase and part of MLL3/4 complexes. To decipher the role of KDM6A in normal vs tumor setting, we identified the genomic localization profiles of KDM6A in normal, immortalized and cancer bladder cells. Our results showed differential occupancy of KDM6A at the genes involved in cell differentiation, chromatin organization and Notch signaling depending on the cell type and the mutation status of KDM6A. Transcription factor motif analysis revealed an enrichment for HES1 for the KDM6A peaks identified for T24 bladder cancer cell line, which has a truncating mutation in KDM6A and lacking demethylase domain and also for the other clusters showing KDM6A localization. For the first time, using co-immunoprecipitation experiments, we show that KDM6A is in complex with TLE co-repressors and HES1, and illustrate the potential interaction of KDM6A with TLE co-repressors, HES1, RUNX, HHEX transcription factors by computational structural biology models. Our work makes important contributions to the understanding of KDM6A malfunction in bladder cancer and provides models for the functioning of KDM6A independent of its demethylase activity.

KDM6A loss recruits tumor-associated neutrophils and promotes neutrophil extracellular trap formation via the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis in pancreatic cancer

Project description:Lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, how KDM6A loss impacts PDAC tumor immune microenvironment is not known. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the tumor microenvironment contribute to PDAC progression. This study used genetically engineered pancreas-specific Kdm6a-knockout PDAC mouse model and human PDAC tissue samples to demonstrate that KDM6A loss correlates with increased TANs and NETs formation. Genome-wide Bru-seq analysis showed that the expression of many chemotactic cytokines, especially CXC motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1), were upregulated in KDM6A-knockout PDAC cells. We confirmed that KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells secreted higher levels of CXCL1 protein, which in turn recruits neutrophils. Furthermore, the CXCL1 neutralizing antibody blocked the chemotactic and NETs-promoting property of KDM6A-deficient PDAC cells and tumor growth in a syngeneic orthotopic xenograft mouse model, confirming that CXCL1 was the main mediator of chemotaxis and PDAC growth in this model. These findings shed light on how KDM6A regulates tumor immune microenvironment and PDAC progression and suggest that the CXCL1-CXCR2 axis may be a candidate target for treating PDACs with KDM6A loss.

RNA-seq analysis of Kdm6a deficient brains in mice

Project description:Kdm6a is an X-linked histone demethylase that activates gene expression via removal of the repressive methylation mark at histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). In humans, KDM6A mutations cause Kabuki syndrome, a disorder characterized by intellectual disability and motor coordination deficits. To assess the role of Kdm6a in brain development and behavior, we generated a neuron-specific Kdm6a deficient mouse model using Cre-LoxP recombination. The mutant mice exhibited an adult-onset deficit in motor coordination. We then performed RNA-seq analysis to determine the mis-regulated genes that are listed in this dataset.

Role of histone demethylase Kdm6a in pancreatic cancer (MoGene-2_0)

Project description:Transcriptional profile of murine Kdm6a null pancreatic cancer cell lines Loss-of-function mutations of KDM6A, an X chromosome encoded histone H3K27 demethylase, are frequent in a broad spectrum of epithelial and hematopoietic malignancies and contribute to oncogenesis with so far poorly characterized mechanisms. Pancreas specific ablation of Kdm6a in mice accelerated Kras-driven cell transformation and compromised survival in a gender specific manner. Female knockout animals were particularly vulnerable and developed aggressive squamous and quasi-mesenchymal tumors with metastatic potential, as opposed to males which developed adenocarcinomas and exhibited a better prognosis. Integration of gene expression studies coupled to ChIP-seq profiling of chromatin modifications demonstrated that loss of Kdm6a caused genome-wide remodeling of bivalent promoters and rewiring of enhancer chromatin to repress endodermal fate by activating c-MYC and TP63 dependent transcriptional programs favoring squamous and quasi-mesenchymal differentiation.

KDM6A Epigenetically Regulates Subtype Plasticity in Small Cell Lung Cancer (scatac)

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) exists broadly in four molecular subtypes: ASCL1, NEUROD1,POU2F3, and Inflammatory. Initially SCLC subtypes were thought to be mutually exclusive, butrecent evidence shows intra-tumoral subtype heterogeneity and plasticity between subtypes.Using a CRISPR-based autochthonous SCLC GEMM to study the consequences of KDM6A/UTXinactivation, we found that KDM6A inactivation induced plasticity from ASCL1 to NEUROD1resulting in SCLC tumors with open chromatin at the NEUROD1 promoter that express bothASCL1 and NEUROD1. Mechanistically, KDM6A binds and maintains ASCL1 target genes in anactive chromatin state with its loss increasing H3K27me3 near their promoters leading to a cell state that is primed for ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype switching. This work identifies KDM6A as \an epigenetic regulator that controls ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype plasticity and provides a novel autochthonous SCLC GEMM to model ASCL1 and NEUROD1 subtype heterogeneity and plasticity, which is found in 35-40% of human SCLCs.
