Frequent 4EBP1 amplification induces synthetic dependence on FGFR signaling in cancer

ABSTRACT: The eIF4E translation initiation factor has oncogenic properties and concordantly, the inhibitory eIF4E-binding protein (4EBP1) is considered a tumor suppressor. The exact molecular effects of 4EBP1 activation in cancer are still unknown. Surprisingly, 4EBP1 is a target of genomic copy number gains (Chr. 8p11) in breast and lung cancer. We notice that 4EBP1 gains are genetically linked to gains in neighboring genes including WHSC1L1 and FGFR1. Our results show that FGFR1 gains act to attenuate the function of 4EBP1 via PI3K mediated phosphorylation at Thr37/46, Ser65, and Thr70 sites. This implies that not 4EBP1 but instead FGFR1 is the genetic target of Chr. 8p11 gains in breast and lung cancer. Accordingly, these tumors show increased sensitivity to FGFR1 and PI3K inhibition and this is a therapeutic vulnerability through restoring the tumor-suppressive function of 4EBP1. Ribosome profiling reveals genes involved in insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and inositol pathway to be the relevant translational targets of 4EBP1. These mRNAs are among the top 200 translation targets and are highly enriched for structure and sequence motifs in their 5’UTR that depends on the 4EBP1-EIF4E activity. In summary, we identify the translational targets of 4EBP1-EIF4E that facilitate the tumor suppressor function of 4EBP1 in cancer.

Role of 4EBP1/2 in the response to glucose deprivation

Project description:We investigated the function of the mTORC1 substrates and mRNA translation regulators 4EBP1/2 in the response to glucose deprivation. We uncovered that targeting 4EBP1/2 expression had a direct impact on the survival rates of cells challenged with glucose deprivation. To further define the mechanisms underlying 4EBP1/2 function under glucose deprivation, we conducted a proteomics analysis of HEK293 shRNA control and HEK293 shRNA 4EBP1/2 grown in basal media or under glucose deprivation (1 mM glucose containing media) for 30 hours.

Selective Inhibitors of mTORC1 Activate 4EBP1 and Suppress Tumor Growth

Project description:The clinical benefit of current mTOR inhibitors is limited, perhaps reflecting their intrinsic pharmacological profiles. Rapamycin analogs selectively inhibit mTORC1, but fail to suppress phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate 4EBP1, a translational repressor that is a key driver of oncogenic mTORC1 signaling. mTOR kinase active-site inhibitors fully suppress mTORC1 and phosphorylation of its substrates, but are active against mTORC2 and additional kinases, potentially contributing to tolerability limitations. The prototype bi-steric inhibitor RapaLink-1 exploits the selective mTORC1 interactions of rapamycin and the broad mTOR kinase inhibitory effects of an active-site inhibitor, through covalent linkage of the two pharmacophores to achieve complete mTORC1/2 inhibition. We demonstrate that the anti-proliferative activity of RapaLink-1 is dependent upon mTORC1 and suppression of 4EBP1 phosphorylation. Using a rational design strategy, we tuned the affinities of the rapamycin core and ATP-mimetic moieties to create novel bi-steric inhibitors with enhanced mTORC1 selectivity and potency against 4EBP1 phosphorylation. mTORC1-selective bi-steric compounds produced durable inhibition of 4EBP1 phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and drove tumor regressions at well-tolerated doses in xenograft models of breast cancer.

Targeted profiling of RNA translation reveals mTOR-4EBP1/2-independent translational regulation of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins

Project description:The PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway is a master regulator of RNA translation. Pharmacological inhibition of this pathway preferentially and coordinately suppresses, in a 4EBP1/2-dependent manner, translation of mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins. However, it remains unclear whether mTOR-4EBP1/2 is the exclusive translational regulator of this group of genes, and furthermore, systematic searches for novel translational modulators have been immensely challenging due to difficulties in scaling existing RNA translation profiling assays. Here, we developed a rapid and highly scalable approach for gene-specific quantitation of RNA translation, termed Targeted Profiling of RNA Translation (TPRT). We applied this technique in a chemical screen for novel translational modulators, and identified numerous preclinical and clinical therapeutic compounds, with diverse nominal targets, that preferentially suppress translation of ribosomal proteins. Surprisingly, some of these compounds act in a manner that bypasses canonical regulation by mTOR-4EBP1/2. Instead, these compounds exert their translational effects in a manner that is dependent upon GCN2-eIF2α, a central signaling axis within the integrated stress response. Furthermore, we were also able to identify metabolic perturbations that also suppress ribosomal protein translation in an mTOR-independent manner. Together, we describe a novel translational assay that is directly applicable to large-scale RNA translation studies, and that enabled us to identify a non-canonical, mTOR-independent mode for translational regulation of ribosomal proteins.

Elevated NSD3 Histone Methylation Activity Drives Squamous Cell Lung Cancer

Project description:Amplification of chromosomal region 8p11-12 is a frequent genetic alteration implicated in the etiology of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). FGFR1 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1) is the main candidate driver within this region. However, clinical trials evaluating FGFR1 inhibition as a targeted therapy have been unsuccessful. Here we identify the H3K36 methyltransferase NSD3 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 3), an 8p11-12-localized gene, as a key regulator of LUSC tumorigenesis. In contrast to other 8p11-12 candidate LUSC drivers, increased NSD3 expression strongly correlates with gene amplification. Ablation of NSD3, but not FGFR1, attenuates tumor growth and extends survival in a potent LUSC mouse model. We identify NSD3T1232A as an LUSC-associated variant that increases H3K36 dimethylation (H3K36me2) catalytic activity in vitro and in vivo. Structural dynamic analyses reveal that the T1232A substitution elicits localized mobility changes throughout NSD3’s catalytic domain to relieve auto-inhibition and increase H3 substrate accessibility. NSD3T1232A expression in vivo in LUSC mouse models accelerates tumorigenesis and decreases overall survival. Pathologic generation of H3K36me2 by NSD3T1232A rewires the chromatin landscape to promote oncogenic gene expression programming. Accordingly, depletion of NSD3 and H3K36me2 in patient derived xenografts (PDXs) from primary LUSC harboring NSD3 amplification or the NSD3T1232A variant attenuate neoplastic growth. Finally, NSD3-regulated LUSC PDXs are markedly and selectively sensitive to bromodomain inhibition (BETi). Together, our work identifies NSD3 as a principal 8p11-12 amplicon-associated oncogenic driver in LUSC and suggests that NSD3-dependency renders LUSC therapeutically vulnerable to BETi.

ZMYM2/FGFR1, BCR/FGFR1 or BCR/ABL1 in human cord blood CD34+ cells reveals similar but distinct gene expression profiles

Project description:The 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS), also referred to as the stem cell leukemia/lymphoma syndrome, is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder that rapidly progresses into an acute leukemia. Molecularly, EMS is characterized by fusion of various partner genes to the FGFR1 gene, resulting in constitutive activation of the tyrosine kinase activity within FGFR1. The two most common fusion genes in human EMS are ZMYM2/FGFR1 (previously known as ZNF198/FGFR1) and BCR/FGFR1. To study the transcriptional programs becoming deregulated by the FGFR1 fusion genes, global gene expression analysis on human CD34+ cord blood cells expressing either of the fusion oncogenes ZMYM2/FGFR1 and BCR/FGFR1 was performed. As a reference gene we also included the more studied BCR/ABL1 fusion oncogene associated with chronic myeloid leukemia. We found that the 3 different fusion oncogenes had in common the upregulation of several genes involved in the JAK/STAT signalling pathway and also other sets of genes. However, the gene expression profiles were not identical, suggesting that both the tyrosine kinase containing gene and the partner gene would affect the transcription of downstream target genes. Bicistronic retroviral murine stem cell virus (MSCV) vectors expressing ZMYM2/FGFR1, BCR/FGFR1or P210 BCR/ABL1 and GFP were used. The MIG control vector expressed GFP only. Two days post transfection of human CD34+ umbilical cord blood cells, GFP-sorted cells were collected in three biological replicates and RNA was isolated immediately. In total, 12 samples were hybridized and scanned.

Epigenetic activation of a subset of mRNAs identified using polyribosome microarray analysis

Project description:Background: Translation deregulation is an important mechanism that causes aberrant cell growth, proliferation and survival. eIF4E, the mRNA 5 prime capâ??binding protein, plays a major role in translational control. To understand how eIF4E affects cellular proliferation and cell survival, we identified mRNA targets that are translationally responsive to eIF4E. Methodology/ principal findings: Microarray analysis of polysomal mRNA from an eIF4E-inducible NIH 3T3 cell line was performed. Induction of eIF4E expression resulted in increased translation of a defined set of mRNAs; many of the mRNAs are novel targets, including those that encode large- and small-subunit ribosomal proteins and cell growthâ??related factors. eIF4E overexpression also led to augmented translation of mRNAs encoding anti-apoptotic proteins, which conferred resistance to endoplasmic reticulumâ??mediated apoptosis. Conclusions/ significance: Our results shed new light on the mechanisms by which eIF4E prevents apoptosis and transforms cells. Downregulation of eIF4E and its downstream targets is a therapeutic option for the development of novel anti-cancer drugs.
