NUF2-HMGA2 axis drives cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: The relatively poor sensitivity of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy makes its treatment challenging. The Ndc80 kinetochore complex component (NUF2) is involved in the development and progression of several cancers. However, its role in ccRCC remains unclear. In an effort to identify novel treatment targets and prognostic markers for ccRCC, we investigated the role of NUF2 in ccRCC progression. We found that the expression of NUF2 was increased in ccRCC tissues and cells, and the elevated NUF2 levels were significantly associated with worse clinicopathological parameters and shorter survival. In addition, NUF2 was an independent prognostic biomarker for ccRCC. Knocking down NUF2 expression affected the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC cells and the expression of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related markers. Moreover, RNA sequencing and in vitro experiments identified the oncogene high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) as the target factor regulated by NUF2 in ccRCC. Restoring HMGA2 levels ameliorated the inhibitory effects of NUF2 depletion on cell proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities and recovered the expression of EMT-related markers to basal levels.These results suggest that NUF2 promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC cells, at least partly by regulating HMGA2, and that the NUF2-HMGA2 axis could be an ideal therapeutic target and a promising prognostic indicator for ccRCC.

ROLE OF HMGA2 IN THE EPITHELIAL TO MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOGENESIS

Project description:The molecular events that mediate the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in endometrial cancer remain poorly understood. Using cDNA microarrays, we analyzed a group of endometrial carcinosarcomas (ECS), a true example of EMT in vivo, and we compared their gene expression profiles with those obtained from a group of endometrioid endometrial carcinomas (EEC). The HMGA2 gene (High Mobility Group AT-hook 2), an embryonic nuclear factor that mediates EMT in various tumour models, was among the genes overexpressed in ECS, and HMGA2 overexpression was confirmed in 54% of ECSs by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Moreover, we found a significant inverse correlation between the expression of HMGA2 and let-7b, a member of the let-7 family of miRNAs that represses HMGA2 expression. These changes were also associated with overexpression of Lin28B, a suppressor of microRNA biogenesis implicated in cancer progression and metastasis. Finally, HMGA2 overexpression, which was detected in less than 3% of EECs, was observed in many non-endometrioid carcinomas (46%). For the first time, we describe a role for HMGA2 in both the process of EMT that contributes to endometrial carcinogenesis and in the acquisition of aggressive phenotypes by this neoplasia. Moreover, we demonstrate changes in the expression of genes modulating processes such as EMT, muscle differentiation, the expression of cancer testis antigens (CTAs) and the immune response.

Transcriptional regulation of myoblasts in HMGA2 KO mice

Project description:We sought to identify critical factors regulating muscle stem cell activation and commitment, and determined through loss-of-function analyses that HMGA2 (high mobility group AT-hook 2) is a key regulator of myogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. mRNAs were isolated from Hmga2 -/- and Hmga2 +/+ mice myoblasts, and a microarray experiment was performed.

HMGA2 overexpression

Project description:Overexpression of high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) associated with truncations of its 3’ untranslated region (UTR) with let-7 micro RNA-complementary sequences have been identified in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Here, we generated transgenic mice (∆Hmga2 mice) with a 3’UTR-trncated Hmga2 cDNA that overexpress Hmga2 mRNA and protein in hematopoietic organs. ∆Hmga2 mice showed proliferative hematopoiesis that mimicked a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-like phenotype with increased numbers of all lineages of peripheral blood cells, hypercellular bone marrow (BM), splenomegaly with extramedullary erythropoiesis, and erythropoietin-independent erythroid colony formation compared to wild-type mice. ∆Hmga2 BM-derived cells took over most of hematopoiesis in competitive repopulations during serial BM transplants. When we bred mice with circulating PNH cells (Piga- mice) with ∆Hmga2 mice, the lack of GPI-linked proteins did not add an additional clonal advantage to the ∆Hmga2+ cells. In summary, our results showed that the overexpression of a 3’UTR-truncated Hmga2 leads to a proliferative hematopoiesis with clonal advantage, which may explain clonal expansion in PNH or MPN at the level of HSC. Eight independent preparations of RNA, which included each 2 samples of KLS cells and MEP cells from ∆Hmga2 mice and 2 each from WT mice. Each preparation was made from 4 or 6 mice.

Hmga2 is required for canonical WNT signaling during lung development

Project description:The high-mobility-group (HMG) proteins are the most abundant non-histone chromatin-associated proteins. Here we deciphered the role of the high mobility group AT-hook protein 2 (HMGA2) during lung development by analyzing the lung of Hmga2 deficient mice (Hmga2-/-).We found that Hmga2 is expressed in the mouse embryonic lung at the distal airways. Analysis of Hmga2-/- mice showed that Hmga2 is required for proper cell proliferation and distal epithelium differentiation during embryonic lung development. Hmga2 knockout (KO) led to enhanced canonical WNT signaling due to an increased expression of secreted WNT glycoproteins Wnt2b, Wnt7b and Wnt11 as well as a reduction of the WNT signaling antagonizing proteins GATA6 (GATA binding protein 6) and FZD2 (frizzled homolog 2). Comparison of Hmga2-/- with Hmga2+/+ mice by Affymetrix microarray-based expression analysis of embryonic lung revealed an increased expression of genes whose products participate in cell cycle and canonical Wnt signaling. Affymetrix microarray transcriptome analysis of Hmga2-/- and Hmga2+/+ embryonic lung (E18.5) was performed and analyzed

Transcription profiling by array of MDA-MB-231 cells with HMGA2 knock-down

Project description:We have reported that the nuclear protein high mobility group A2 (HMGA2), is required for the induction of EMT by TGF-beta (Thuault et al. J. Cell Biol. 2006). HMGA2 regulates a cohort of transcriptional regulators of the EMT process, such as Snail1 and Twist1 (Thuault et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2008, E-Jean Tan et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2012). Since HMGA2 is a chromatin-associated protein, we expect that it should regulate many genes in addition to the EMT-related factors. The aim of our study is to decipher novel molecular mechanisms that explain how EMT links to the process of tumor-initiating cell self-renewal via the chromatin factor HMGA2. In this experiment, we stably transfected human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells with shRNA against HMGA2 and investigated effects of the knock-down on global gene expression using Affymetrix arrays, in order to identify novel downstream players involved in this network. In parallel experiments we also analyzed the phenotypic effects of the HMGA2 knock-down on MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation, survival and inavasiveness.

HMGA2 regulates ATF4 and the serine biosynthesis genes and reprograms metabolism in breast cancer

Project description:The transcription regulator High Mobility Group AT-Hook 2 (HMGA2) plays an important role in many types of cancers, but the molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. We found by knock-down studies that HMGA2 controls expression of ATF4 and the enzymes in the serine synthesis pathway in triple negative breast cancer cells, and that HMGA2 expression correlates with poor clinical outcome in ER negative breast cancers. Furthermore, we found that the metabolism was dysregulated in cells with reduced HMGA2 expression, which affected their response to mitochondrial stressors and to changed carbon sources. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that HMGA2 is a regulator of serine biosynthesis and metabolism, consistent with the well-known role of HMGA2 as a regulator of proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness.
