Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reprograms chromatin state to promote breast cancer metastasis

ABSTRACT: Large intervening noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are pervasively transcribed in the genome yet their potential involvement in human disease is not well understood4,5. Recent studies of dosage compensation, imprinting, and homeotic gene expression suggest that individual lincRNAs can function as the interface between DNA and specific chromatin remodeling activities. Here we show that lincRNAs in the HOX loci become systematically dysregulated during breast cancer progression. The lincRNA termed HOTAIR is increased in expression in primary breast tumors and metastases, and HOTAIR expression level in primary tumors is a powerful predictor of eventual metastasis and death. Enforced expression of HOTAIR in epithelial cancer cells induced genome-wide re-targeting of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to an occupancy pattern more resembling embryonic fibroblasts, leading to altered histone H3 lysine 27 methylation, gene expression, and increased cancer invasiveness and metastasis in a manner dependent on PRC2. Conversely, loss of HOTAIR can inhibit cancer invasiveness, particularly in cells that possess excessive PRC2 activity. These findings suggest that lincRNAs play active roles in modulating the cancer epigenome and may be important targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Profiling of Lsd1 and chromatin marks in epithelial cells overexpressing HOTAIR variants

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMT) underlie a loss of epithelial traits by normal cells during development and neoplastic cells during cancer metastasis. The long noncoding RNA HOTAIR triggers EMT, in part by serving as a scaffold for Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) and thus promoting repressive histone H3 Lys27 methylation. In addition to PRC2, HOTAIR interacts with the Lsd1 lysine demethylase, an epigenetic regulator of cell fate during development and differentiation. Here, we showed that HOTAIR requires the Lsd1-interacting domain, but not the PRC2-interacting domain, to promote migration of epithelial cells. Our results suggest that the HOTAIR-Lsd1 asociation redistributes Lsd1 on chromatin and hence reprograms the epithelial transcriptome.

ChIRP-MS of long non-coding RNA HOTAIR

Project description:Accumulating evidence highlights the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) in cellular homeostasis, and their dysregulation in disease settings. Most lncRNAs function by interacting with proteins or protein complexes. While several orthogonal methods have been developed to identify these proteins, each method has its inherent strengths and limitations. Here, we combine two RNA-centric methods ChIRP-MS and RNA-BioID to obtain a comprehensive list of proteins that interact with the well-known lncRNA HOTAIR. Overexpression of HOTAIR has been associated with a metastasis-promoting phenotype in various cancers. Although HOTAIR is known to bind with PRC2 and LSD1 protein complexes, an unbiased and comprehensive method to map its interactome has not yet been performed. Both ChIRP-MS and RNA-BioID data sets show an association of HOTAIR with mitoribosomes, suggesting HOTAIR has functions independent of its (post-)transcriptional mode-of-action.

An RNA matchmaker protein regulates the activity of the long noncoding RNA HOTAIR

Project description:The human long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) HOTAIR acts in trans to recruit the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to the HOXD gene cluster and promote gene silencing during development. In breast cancers, overexpression of HOTAIR increases metastatic potential via the repression of many additional genes. It has remained unclear what factors determine HOTAIR-dependent PRC2 activity at specific genomic loci, particularly when high levels of HOTAIR result in aberrant gene silencing. To identify additional proteins that contribute to the specific action of HOTAIR, we performed a quantitative proteomic analysis of the HOTAIR interactome. We found that the most specific interaction was between HOTAIR and the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A2/B1, a member of a family of proteins involved in nascent mRNA processing and RNA matchmaking. Our data suggest that A2/B1 are key contributors to HOTAIR-mediated chromatin regulation in breast cancer cells: A2/B1 knockdown reduces HOTAIR-dependent breast cancer cell invasion and decreases PRC2 activity at the majority of HOTAIR-dependent loci. We found that the B1 isoform, which differs from A2 by 12 additional amino acids, binds with highest specificity to HOTAIR. B1 also binds chromatin and associates preferentially with RNA transcripts of HOTAIR gene targets. We furthermore demonstrate a direct RNA-RNA interaction between HOTAIR and a target transcript that is enhanced by B1 binding. Together, these results suggest a model in which B1 matches HOTAIR with transcripts of target genes on chromatin, leading to repression by PRC2.

HOTAIR interacts with PRC2 complex regulating the regional preadipocyte transcriptome and human fat distribution

Project description:Mechanisms governing regional human adipose tissue (AT) development remain undefined. Here, we show that the long non-coding RNA, HOTAIR (HOX transcript antisense RNA), is exclusively expressed in gluteofemoral AT, where it is essential for adipocyte development. We find that HOTAIR interacts with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) and identify core HOTAIR-PRC2 target genes involved in adipocyte lineage determination. Repression of target genes coincides with PRC2 promoter occupancy and H3K27 tri-methylation. HOTAIR is also involved in modifying the gluteal adipocyte transcriptome through alternative splicing. Gluteal-specific expression of HOTAIR is maintained by defined regions of open chromatin across the HOTAIR promoter. HOTAIR expression levels can be modified by hormonal (oestrogen, glucocorticoids) and genetic variation (rs1443512 is a HOTAIR eQTL associated with reduced gynoid fat mass in 25,200 individuals). These data identify HOTAIR as a dynamic regulator of the gluteal adipocyte transcriptome and epigenome with functional importance for human regional AT development.

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR promotes cell migration by upregulating insulin growth factor-binding protein 2 in renal cell carcinoma

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most lethal urologic cancers. About one-third of RCC patients already have distal metastasis at the time of diagnosis. There is growing evidence that Hox antisense intergenic RNA (HOTAIR) plays essential roles in metastasis in several types of cancers. However, the precise mechanism by which HOTAIR enhances malignancy remains unclear, especially in RCC. Here, we demonstrated that HOTAIR enhances RCC-cell migration by regulating the insulin growth factor-binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) expression. HOTAIR expression in tumors was significantly correlated with nuclear grade, lymph-node metastasis, and lung metastasis. High HOTAIR expression was associated with a poor prognosis in both our dataset and The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. Migratory capacity was enhanced in RCC cell lines in a HOTAIR-dependent manner. HOTAIR overexpression accelerated tumorigenicity and lung metastasis in immunodeficient mice. Microarray analysis revealed that IGFBP2 expression was upregulated in HOTAIR-overexpressing cells compared with control cells. The enhanced migration activity of HOTAIR-overexpressing cells was attenuated by IGFBP2 knockdown. IGFBP2 and HOTAIR were co-expressed in clinical RCC samples. Our findings suggest that the HOTAIR-IGFBP2 axis plays critical roles in RCC metastasis and may serve as a novel therapeutic target for advanced RCC.

ChIP-chip of siGFP- or siHOTAIR-treated foreskin fibroblasts with anti-H3K4me2, anti-LSD1 or anti-SUZ12 antibodies on HOX tiling array

Project description:Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) regulate chromatin states and epigenetic inheritance. Here we show that the lincRNA HOTAIR serves as a scaffold for at least two distinct histone modification complexes. A 5’ domain of HOTAIR binds Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) while a 3’ domain of HOTAIR binds the LSD1/CoREST/REST complex. The ability to tether two distinct complexes enables RNA-mediated assembly of PRC2 and LSD1, and coordinates targeting of PRC2 and LSD1 to chromatin for coupled histone H3 lysine 27 methylation and lysine 4 demethylation. Our results suggest that lincRNAs may serve as scaffolds by providing binding surfaces to assemble select histone modification enzymes, and thereby specify the pattern of histone modifications on target genes. Coordinate loss of SUZ12 and LSD1 occupancy caused by HOTAIR knockdown were concentrated in proximal promoters of HOXD genes. These regions correspondingly lost H3K27me3 and gained H3K4me2, the respective histone methylation products of PRC2 and LSD1 complexes. Comparison occupancy of LSD1 and SUZ12 of siGFP and siHOTAIR foreskin fibroblasts on HOX tiling array. Human foreskin fibroblasts were transfected with siGFP or siHOTAIR. The cells were harvested and ChIP analysis with anti-H3K4me2, anti-LSD1 and anti-SUZ12 antibodies was performed.

Role of Lsd1 in HOTAIR function

Project description:HOTAIR is a scafold long non-coding RNA tethering PRC2 and Lsd1/REST/coREST complexes to gene promoters to repress transcription of genes involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). To decipher a role of the Lsd1 in HOTAIR function we generated epithelial cell lines expressing full length and truncated versions of HOTAIR missing first 5'-300 (Epi-HOTΔP) and last 3'-500 bp (Epi-HOTΔL) interacting with HOTAIR partners. These cell lines were further used to determine Lsd1 binding sites using chromatin immunoprecipitation approach.

Transcriptome analysis of inducible HOTAIR overexpression mouse breast cancer cells

Project description:HOTAIR is a 2.2 kb long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) whose dysregulation has been linked to oncogenesis, defects in pattern formation during early development, and irregularities during the process of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the oncogenic transformation determined by HOTAIR in vivo and its impact on chromatin dynamics are incompletely understood. Here we generate a transgenic mouse model with doxycycline-inducible expression of human HOTAIR in the context of the MMTV-PyMT breast cancer-prone background (iHOT-PyMT mice) to systematically interrogate the cellular mechanisms by which human HOTAIR lncRNA acts to promote breast cancer progression. We isolated breast cancer cells from the primary tumors of iHOT-PyMT mice (named iHOT+ cells) and performed RNA-seq and ATAC-seq of iHOT+ cells treated with 3 conditions: Dox+, Dox- and DoxWD. We showed that HOTAIR overexpression altered both the cellular transcriptome and chromatin accessibility landscape of multiple metastasis-associated genes and promoted epithelial to mesenchymal transition. These alterations are abrogated within several cell cycles after HOTAIR expression is reverted to basal levels, indicating an erasable lncRNA-associated epigenetic memory. These results suggest that a continual role for HOTAIR in programming a metastatic gene regulatory program.
