RBFOX2/GOLIM4 Splicing Axis Activates Vesicular Transport Pathway to Promote Nasopharyngeal Carcinogenesis

ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT 20-30% of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) develop distant metastasis or recurrence leading to poor survival, of which the underlying key molecular events have yet to be addressed. Here we profiled alternative splicing events in 85 NPC samples using transcriptome analysis and revealed that the long isoform of GOLIM4 (-L) with exon-7 was highly expressed in NPC and associated with poor prognosis. Lines of evidence demonstrated the pro-tumorigenic function of GOLIM4-L in NPC cells. We further revealed that RBFOX2 binds to a GGAA motif in exon-7 and promotes its inclusion forming GOLIM4-L. RBFOX2 knockdown suppressed the tumorigenesis of NPC cells, phenocopying GOLIM4-L knockdown, which was significantly rescued by GOLIM4-L overexpression. Moreover, high expression of RBFOX2 was correlated with the exon-7 inclusion of GOLIM4 in NPC biopsies and associated with worse prognosis. Furthermore, we observed that RBFOX2 and GOLIM4 could influence vesicle-mediated transport through maintaining the organization of Golgi apparatus. Finally, we revealed that RAB26 interacted with GOLIM4 and mediated its tumorigenic potentials in NPC cells. Taken together, our findings provide insights into how alternative splicing contributes to NPC development, by highlighting a functional link between GOLIM4-L and its splicing regulator RBFOX2 activating vesicle-mediated transport involving RAB26. Keywords: GOLIM4, RBFOX2, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), Alternative splicing, RAB26

SRSF3/AMOTL1 Splicing Axis Promotes the Tumorigenesis of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma through Regulating the Nucleus Translocation of YAP1

Project description:Dysregulation of serine/arginine splicing factors (SRSFs) and thereby the abnormal alternative splicing (AS) has been widely implicated in the development of multiple cancers, but scarcely investigated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Here we examine the expression of 12 classical SRSFs between 87 NPC and 10 control samples, revealing a significant upregulation of SRSF3 and its association with worse prognosis in NPC. Functional assays demonstrate that SRSF3 knockdown markedly inhibits the proliferation, migration, tumorigenesis and induces apoptosis in NPC cells, suggesting its oncogenic role in NPC progression. Transcriptome analysis reveals 1 934 SRSF3-regulated AS events in genes involved in cell cycle and mRNA metabolism, among which the generation of a long isoform of AMOTL1 (AMOTL1-L) is further verified through a direct bond of SRSF3 RRM domain with the exon 12 of AMOTL1 to promote the exon inclusion. Functional studies reveal that AMOTL1-L could promote the proliferation and migration of NPC cells, nor did AMOTL1-S. Moreover, overexpression of AMOTL1-L significantly rescues the abovementioned inhibitory effects of SRSF3 knockdown, nor did AMOTL1-S. Furthermore, compared with AMOTL1-S, AMOTL1-L has a localization preference in the intracellular than the cell membrane, leading to a stronger interaction with YAP1 to promote its translocation to nucleus. Taken together, our findings identify SRSF3/AMOTL1 as a novel alternative splicing axis with pivotal roles in NPC development, which could be served as promising prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets of NPC.

mRNAseq in control (WT) and Nes:Cre_Qk cKO

Project description:We sequenced mRNA from mouse E14.5 embryonic cortex to compare gene expression level and alternative splicing events between 2 control (WT) and 2 Qk cKO. A set of tissue specific splicing factors are thought to govern alternative splicing events during neural progenitors (NPC) to neuron transition by regulating neuron specific exons. Here we proposed one such a factor, RNA-binding protein Qki5, which is specifically expressed in neural stem cells. We performed mRNAseq analysis by using mRNAs obtained from developing cerebral cortices in Qk conditional knockout (cKO) mice. Expectedly, we found huge numbers of alternative splicing changes between control and conditional knock-out relative to that of transcripts level changes. Furthermore, DAVID and Meta-scape analysis revealed that affected spliced genes are involved in axon-development and microtubule-based process. Among these, Ninein protein coding mRNA is listed as a Qk protein dependent alternative splicing targets. Interestingly, this exon encodes very long poly-peptides (2,121 nt) and is known as a previously defined dynamic RNA switch during NPC-to-neuron transition. In addition, we validated that the regulation of this large exon is consistent with Qki5 dependent alternative exon inclusion mode obtained from our previous Qki5 HITS-CLIP analysis. Together Qki5 will add to a list factor of alternative splicing in NPC-to-neuron transition.

RNA-binding Motif Protein RBM47 Promotes Tumorigenesis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma through Multiple Pathways

Project description:ABSTRACT RNA binding motif proteins (RBMs) have been widely implicated in the tumorigenesis of multiple human cancers, but scarcely studied in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Here, we compare the mRNA levels of 29 RBMs between 87 NPC and 10 control samples. We find that RBM47 is frequently upregulated in NPC specimens and its high expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients with NPC. Biological experiments show that RBM47 plays an oncogenic role in NPC cells. Mechanically, RBM47 binds to the promoter and regulates the transcription of BCAT1 and its overexpression partially rescues the inhibitory effects of RBM47-knockdown on NPC cells. Moreover, transcriptome analysis reveals that RBM47 regulates alternative splicing of pre-mRNA, including those cancer-related, to a large extent in NPC cells. Furthermore, RBM47 binds to hnRNPM and cooperativelyjointly regulates multiple splicing events in NPC cells. In addition, we find that knockdown of hnRNPM inhibits proliferation and migration of NPC cells. Taken together, our study shows that RBM47 promotes the progression of NPC through multiple pathways, acting as a transcriptional factor and a modulator of alternative splicing in cooperation with hnRNPM. Our study also highlights that RBM47 and hnRNPM could be prognostic factors and potential therapeutic targets for NPC.

Targeting PRMT1-mediated SRSF1 Methylation to Suppress Exon Inclusion within Oncogenic Transcripts and Breast Tumorigenesis

Project description:PRMT1 is highly expressed in breast tumors, and has been suggested to play a vital role in breast tumorigenesis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be fully characterized. Here, we reveal that PRMT1 exhibits a wide-spreading role in RNA alternative splicing based on transcriptome analysis, with a preference for exon inclusion in a large cohort of oncogenic genes. Profiling PRMT1 methylome reveals that the arginine/serine-rich splicing factor SRSF1 is heavily arginine-methylated by PRMT1, which is critical for SRSF1 phosphorylation, SRSF1 binding with RNA, and PRMT1-induced exon inclusion. In breast tumors, the overexpression of PRMT1 is associated with high levels of SRSF1 arginine methylation and aberrant exon inclusion in those oncogenic genes. Accordingly, PRMT1-mediated SRSF1 methylation and exon inclusion events are found to be critical for the malignant behaviors of breast cancer cells. Furthermore, we identified and characterized a selective PRMT1 inhibitor iPRMT1, which is potent in inhibiting PRMT1-mediated SRSF1 methylation and exon inclusion events, and breast cancer cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Combination treatment with iPRMT1 and inhibitor targeting SRSF1 phosphorylation, SPHINX31 or SRPIN340, exhibits synergistic effects on suppressing breast cancer cell growth, strengthening the cross-talk between arginine methylation and phosphorylation in SRSF1. In conclusion, our data uncover a key mechanism underlying PRMT1-mediated gene alternative splicing, demonstrating targeting PRMT1 has great potential to treat breast cancer in clinic.

Learning the Sequence Determinants of Alternative Splicing from Millions of Random Sequences

Project description:Most human transcripts are alternatively spliced, and many disease-causing mutations affect RNA splicing. Towards better modeling the sequence determinants of alternative splicing, we measured the splicing patterns of nearly 2 million (M) synthetic mini-genes, which include degenerate subsequences totaling to nearly 100M bases of variation. The massive size of these training data allowed us to improve upon current models of splicing as well as to gain new mechanistic insights. Our results show that a vast majority of hexamer sequence motifs measurably influence splice site selection when positioned within alternative exons, with multiple motifs acting additively rather than cooperatively. Intriguingly, motifs that enhance (suppress) exon inclusion in alternative 5’ splicing also enhance (suppress) exon inclusion in alternative 3’ or cassette exon splicing, suggesting a universal mechanism for alternative exon recognition. Finally, our empirically trained models are highly predictive of the effects of naturally occurring variants on alternative splicing in vivo.

The spliceosome factor USP39 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma malignancy through regulating mRNA splicing

Project description:Abnormal alternative splicing (AS) caused by alterations to splicing factors contributes to tumor progression. Nonetheless, the relevant targets and mechanisms remain elusive in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we reported that overexpression of Ubiquitin-specific protease 39 (USP39), a spliceosome component of the U4/U6.U5 tri-snRNP complex, is associated with poor clinical outcomes and proliferative signaling. Functionally, hepatocyte-specific USP39 knockin mice exhibited enhanced hepatocarcinogenesis. In vitro, USP39 promoted HCC cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in a spliceosome-dependent manner. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that USP39 depletion led to comprehensively impaired constitutive splicing and intriguingly, selective AS of hundreds of genes. USP39-mediated splicing switch of KANK2-S to KANK2-L increased the tumorigenic potential of HCC cells through accelerating KANK2 translation. Mechanistically, USP39 modulates exon inclusion/exclusion via interaction with SRSF6 or hnRNPC in a position-dependent manner. These findings highlight a role for USP39 as a splicing regulator in HCC biology and establishing its position-dependent splicing model.

Rbfox2 controls autoregulation in RNA binding protein networks

Project description:We generated a global analysis of Rbfox2 splicing regulation combined with a highly specific, single nucleotide-resolution Rbfox2 RNA binding map. We found that Rbfox2 regulates the splicing and expression of many previously unknown targets, and particularly a number of RNA binding proteins (RBPs), by modulating alternative splicing coupled-NMD. Based on our observations of RBP-Rbfox2 co-regulation with a polarity predicted by Rbfox2 binding, we propose a model whereby Rbfox2 tunes autoregulatory splicing events to control RBP expression levels and in turn alter their respective splicing networks. iCLIP for epitope-tagged Rbfox2 and control untagged Rbfox2; RNAseq of control and Rbfox2 knockdown in mouse embryonic stem cells

Systematic identification of RNA-binding proteins and tethered domains that activate exon splicing inclusion [eCLIP-seq]

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) modulate alternative splicing outcomes to determine isoform expression and cellular survival. To identify RBPs that directly drive alternative exon inclusion, we evaluated 718 human RBPs with tethered function luciferase-based splicing reporter assays to identify 58 candidates, including known splicing factors such as RBFOX and serine-arginine proteins. We performed enhanced CLIP, RNA-seq, and affinity purification-mass spectrometry to investigate a subset of the 11 candidates with no prior association with splicing. Integrative analysis of these assays indicated the surprising roles of TRNAU1AP, SCAF8, and RTCA in modulating hundreds of endogenous splicing events. We also leveraged our tethering assays and top candidates to identify potent and compact exon inclusion activation domains for splicing modulation applications. Using identified domains, we engineered programmable fusion proteins which outperformed current artificial splicing factors at manipulating inclusion of reporter and endogenous exons. Altogether, our tethering approach characterized the ability of RBPs to induce exon inclusion and yielded new molecular parts for programmable splicing control.
