Project description:NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase family member 2 (NSUN2) catalyzes 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modifications in tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA, playing critical roles in various malignancies. However, its expression and functional relevance in B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) remain largely undefined. Lineage-negative progenitor cells from Nsun2 knockout (Δ/Δ) and wild-type (fl/fl) mice were used to generate BCR-ABL (P190)-driven murine B-ALL model. Furthermore, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to identify NSUN2 targets. Here, we found that NSUN2 expression was significantly higher in bone marrow (BM) cells from B-ALL patients than normal controls (NCs). Knockdown of NSUN2 reduced m5C amounts, induced apoptosis and ferroptosis in B-ALL cells. Moreover, Nsun2 knockout significantly suppressed the leukemic burden and extended the OS in murine B-ALL model in vivo. RNA-seq and subsequent studies identified ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) as a downstream target of NSUN2. Mechanistically, NSUN2 knockdown reduced m5C modifications on 3'UTR of FTH1 mRNA, impairing its stability and reducing FTH1 expression. Overexpression of wild-type (WT) NSUN2, but not its mutants, blocked NSUN2 knockdown-induced cytotoxic effects, indicating that NSUN2 enhances leukemogenesis in an m5C-dependent manner. In addition, NSUN2 facilitated global protein synthesis and ribosome biogenesis by enhancing fibrillarin (FBL) translation efficiency. In contrast, Nsun2 depletion was dispensable for hematopoiesis and exerted minimal impact on ferroptosis and protein synthesis in murine pre-B (B220+) cells, suggesting selective leukemic dependency. Our results demonstrate that NSUN2 facilitates leukemogenesis by increasing FTH1 expression and enhancing FBL-mediated ribosome biogenesis in an m5C-dependent manner. Targeting NSUN2 might provide a promising therapeutic strategy for B-ALL.

Project description:STING is a protein that plays important role in innate immune response. However, it also has functions not related to immunity. We studied role of STING in fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. We used microarray to detect gene expression changes in dSTING knockout fruit flies. We studied role of STING in fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. To detect gene expression changes in dSTING-knockout flies microarray assay was used.

Project description:Purpose: Ribosome profiling has revolutionized systems-based analysis and which produces a âglobal snapshotâ of all the ribosomes translationally active in a cell at a particular moment. The goals of this study are to first apply ribosome profiling to in vivo samples for the first time and in particular to stem cells and tumours and second to determine which mRNAs are being actively translated in these particular situations. Although much is known about gene expression regulation, little is known about how protein translation regulation can affect stem cell differentiation and tumour progression. Methods: several replicates of ribosome and mRNA profiles of wild-type (WT) and NSun2 -/- mouse skin squamous tumours were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq platform. Results: Our analyses reveal that activation of stress response pathways in vivo drives both a global reduction of protein synthesis and altered translation of specific mRNAs that together promote stem cell functions and tumourigenesis.

Project description:Aims: Mammalian mRNA internal modification m6A has been suggested to be essential in the maintenance of cardiac homeostasis. The role of mRNA cytosine methylation (m5C) in the heart remains unexplored.Methods and results: In contrast with human normal heart, the expression of RNA cytosine methyltransferase NSun2 was found to be significantly elevated in the hypertrophied one. Consistently, NSun2 expression was increased in hypertrophic rat ventricular myocytes induced in vitro, as well as in TAC (transverse aortic constriction) developed hypertrophied murine heart. Cardiomyocyte-specific knockout of NSun2 (Myh6-CreERT2, NSun2 flox+/+) dramatically accelerated heart failure progression in TAC mice. RNA m5C immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing and MeRIP (methylation-specific RNA immunoprecipitation) revealed that NSun2 particularly methylates the mRNA of protein kinase A (PKA) catalytic subunit alpha (PRKACA). Polyribosome and dual luciferase reporter gene analysis further suggested that NSun2 promotes PRKACA translation via RNA methylation. In TAC hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, NSun2 ablation markedly dampened PKA signaling, as evidenced by reduced PKA activity and protein phosphorylation levels of PKA diverse substrates, impaired myocyte contraction and relaxation, and disturbed calcium transients. Cardiac-restricted overexpression of NSun2 via adeno-associated virus 9 (AAV9, NSun2 expression cassette driven by cTnT promoter) sensitized heart hypertrophic response, whereas administration of PKA inhibitor H89 successfully blocked this process, reiterating the importance of NSun2-PRKACA regulation in cardiac hypertrophic program.Conclusions: Our study showed that RNA methyltransferase NSun2 promotes PRKACA translation via RNA methylation, whereby achieving its modulation of PKA signaling within the cardiomyocyte. NSun2-PRKACA regulation is required for cardiac homeostasis maintenance and adaptation to hypertrophic stresses. These findings furnish us with novel understanding of heart function mediated by mRNA cytosine methylation in cardiac homeostasis.
