NSUN2-mediated 5-methylcytosine enhances purine metabolism through ALYREF in retinoblastoma

ABSTRACT: 5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA modification installed by methyltransferase NSUN2 regulates gene expression and cell fate. Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary intraocular tumor in children. However, the functional role of m5C modification in retinoblastoma remains unclear. Here, we show that 5-methylcytosine significantly promotes the progression of retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma samples showed increased m5C levels, indicating a poor prognosis. Changes in global m5C modification were highly associated with tumor progression in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, NSUN2 stabilized the methylated PFAS mRNA, a tumor promoter in retinoblastoma. Our work uncovers a critical function for m5C methylation in retinoblastoma and provides additional insight into the understanding of m5C modification.

RNA expression and m5c modification in NSUN2 kncok down CaSki cell

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification ubiquitously occurs on mammalian mRNAs and plays important roles in multiple biological processes. Currently, the role of m5C in cancer initiation and progression is gaining more and more research attention, but the detailed mechanism remains unclear. As an m5C methyltransferase with unique mRNA catalytic activity, NSUN2 was found to be highly expressed in multiple cancers including gastric, bladder, gallbladder, and breast cancers, suggesting NSUN2 might exert oncogenic properties through affecting m5C levels in cancer cells. Therefore, to understand the potential roles of RNA m5C modification in tumorigenesis of cervical cancer, we established NSUN2 stable knockdown CaSki cell, and perform RNA-seq and RNA-BisSeq to figure out the possible pathway involved in cervical cancer development.

Overview of distinct 5-methylcytosine profiles of messenger RNA in normal and knock-down NSUN2 colorectal cancer cells

Project description:Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a harmful cancer with high morbidity and poor prognosis. There is growing evidence that RNA methylation is closely related to the occurrence of cancer and its malignant biological behavior. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is the most common RNA modification in eukaryotes, and its multiple regulatory mechanisms in CRC have been elucidated from multiple perspectives. At the same time, the role of 5-methylcytosine (m5C), another important and widely distributed methylation modification, in CRC is far from being elucidated. Methods: In this study, we used RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing combined with bioinformatics methods to identify the m5C peaks on messenger RNA (mRNA) in HCT15 cells and sh-NSUN2 HCT15 cells, understand which transcripts are modified by m5C, and characterize the distribution of m5C modifications. In addition, we performed further bioinformatics analysis of the detected data to initially clarify the potential function of these m5C-modified transcripts. Results: We found significant differences in the distribution of m5C between HCT15 cells and sh-NSUN2 HCT15 cells, suggesting that m5C is likely to play a key role in the occurrence and development of CRC. Furthermore, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis showed that genes altered by m5C were mainly enriched in phylogeny, synaptic membrane, and transcription factor binding.The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）pathway analysis showed that the genes altered by m5C are enriched in ECM receptor interaction pathway, the circadian pathway, and the cAMP signaling pathway. Conclusions: Here, our study preliminarily revealed the different distribution patterns of m5C between HCT15 cell and sh-NSUN2 HCT15 cell. Our results open a new window to understand the role of m5C RNA methylation of mRNA in the development of CRC.

5-methylcytosine modification-mediated mRNA stabilization is associated with sexual development of malaria parasites [BisRNA-seq]

Project description:5-methylcytosine (m5C) is emerging as an important epi-transcriptome modification involving RNA stability and translation efficiency in various biological processes. However, it remains unclear how m5C contributes to the dynamic regulation of transcriptome during the development of Plasmodium. Here, we identified the presence of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification in rodent (P. yoelii) and human (P. falciparum) malaria parasites transcriptome and depicted a comprehensive characterization landscape of m5C mRNA modification at single-nucleotide resolution (RNA-BisSeq) from asexual replicating stage to gametocyte development. Through transcriptome-wide profiling of mRNA m5C modification, we found that m5C modified mRNA displayed higher stability than non-m5C modified mRNA during the development of Plasmodium. We identified Plasmodium ortholog of NSUN2 as an mRNA m5C methyltransferase in malaria parasites. LC–MS/MS and RNA-BisSeq analysis revealed a large decrease in mRNA m5C modification at transcriptome-wide level upon Nsun2 knockout. Absence of Nsun2 severely reduced gametocyte production in either rodent (P. yoelii) or human (P. falciparum) malaria parasites. Meanwhile, some genes related to gametocytogenesis displayed a great reduction of m5C modification. Together, our data provides comprehensive mRNA m5C profiles in Plasmodium genus and reveals m5C modification-mediated mRNA stability as a novel mechanism regulating sexual differentiation of a unicellular eukaryote.

5-methylcytosine modification and the ALYREF reader protein promote retrovirus replication

Project description:The 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification is present at appreciable amounts in the mammalian transcriptome, but its precise location and function is still poorly understood. Here, we identify high m5C levels and map their locations in a model retrovirus, the murine leukemia virus, and show that the ALYREF m5C reader protein regulates viral replication. Our results reveal a single-nucleotide m5C profile in a virus and its function in a eukaryotic mRNA.

Effects of NSUN2 deficiency on the mRNA 5-methylcytosine modification and gene expression profile in HEK293 cells

Project description:Aim: To study the biological function of NSUN2 in regulating gene expression and cell proliferation. Materials & methods: The NSUN2 gene was knocked down in HEK293 cells via CRISPR/Cas9 system. mRNA m5C modification and gene expression were assessed using RNA-BisSeq and RNA-Seq. Results: NSUN2 deficiency could inhibit proliferation and migration of HEK293 cells. A total of 1185 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) and 790 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Bioinformatics analysis revealed the DMGs were mainly involved in regulating gene expression. Some pathways associated with cell proliferation were significantly enriched by the DEGs. Additionally, GRB2 and CD44 may be key regulators in NSUN2-mediated cell proliferation. Conclusion: These findings help to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which NSUN2 affects cell proliferation, migration and other cell phenotypes.

SRSF2 plays an unexpected role as reader of m5C on mRNA, linking epitranscriptomics to cancer

Project description:A common mRNA modification is 5-methylcytosine (m5C), whose role in gene-transcript processing and cancer remains unclear. Here we identify Serine/arginine-Rich Splicing Factor 2 (SRSF2) as a reader of m5C, and impaired SRSF2 m5C binding as a potential contributor to leukemogenesis. Structurally, we identify residues involved in m5C recognition and in the impact of the prevalent leukemia-associated mutation SRSF2P95H. We show that SRSF2 binding and m5C colocalize within transcripts. Furthermore, knocking down the m5C writer NSUN2 decreases mRNA m5C, reduces SRSF2 binding, and alters RNA splicing. We also show that the SRSF2P95H mutation impairs the ability of the protein to read m5C-marked mRNA, notably reducing its binding to key leukemia-related transcripts in leukemic cells. In leukemia patients, low NSUN2 expression leads to mRNA m5C hypomethylation and, combined with SRSF2P95H, predicts poor outcomes. Altogether, we highlight an unrecognized mechanistic link between epitranscriptomics and a key oncogenesis driver.
