An EZH2-NF-kB Regulatory Axis Drives Expression of Pro-Oncogenic Genetic Signatures in TNBC

ABSTRACT: EZH2 has been studied most extensively in the context of PRC2-dependent gene repression. Paradoxically, accumulating evidence indicates non-canonical functions for EZH2 in cancer contexts including promoting gene expression in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells through interactions with the transcription factor NF-kB. We define a genomic profile of EZH2 and NF-kB factor RelA, RelB, and NFKB2/p52 co-localization and positive regulation of a subset of NF-kB targets and genes associated with oncogenic functions in TNBC, which is enriched in patient datasets. We demonstrate interaction between EZH2 and RelA requiring the recently identified EZH2 transactivation domain (TAD), which mediates EZH2 recruitment to and activation of certain NF-kB-dependent genes, and supports downstream stemness phenotypes in TNBC cells. Interestingly, EZH2-NF-kB positive regulation of genes and stemness does not require PRC2. This study provides new insight into pro-oncogenic regulatory functions for EZH2 in breast cancer through PRC2-independent, and NF-kB-dependent regulatory mechanisms.

NF-kB subunits direct kinetically distinct transcriptional cascades in antigen receptor-activated B cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:The NF-kB family of transcription factors orchestrates signal-induced gene expression in a diversity of cell types. Cellular responses to NF-kB activation are regulated at the level of cell- and signal-specificity, as well as differential use of family members (subunit specificity). Here we used time-dependent multi-omics to investigate selective functions of Rel and RelA, two closely related NF-kB proteins, in primary B lymphocytes activated via the B cell receptor. Despite large numbers of shared binding sites genome wide, Rel and RelA directed kinetically distinct cascades of gene expression in activated B cells. Single-cell RNA-Seq revealed marked heterogeneity of Rel- and RelA-specific responses and sequential binding of these factors was not a major mechanism of protracted transcription. Moreover, nuclear co-expression of Rel and RelA led to functional antagonism between the two factors. By rigorously identifying target genes of each NF-kB subunit, these studies provide insights into exclusive functions of Rel and RelA in immunity and cancer.

AhmedMobeen2021 - NF-kB Activation Model

Project description:NF-kappaB Activation Model includes the activation of both NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB for Canonical and Non-Canonical Pathway respectively. The model includes the pathway model integrated with post-translational modifications of NF-kB subunits that regulate the NFKB1:RELA and NFKB2:RELB activity. The processes that are regulated by NF-kB pathway can be monitored through following readouts NFKB1:RELA Activity, NFKB2:RELB Activity, Degraded RelA, Degraded RelB, Degraded IkB, Degraded NIK, Apoptosis, Tumour, Antiviral Activity, B Cell Growth and Cell Migration. However, last 5 processes above are also influenced by other pathways too, therefore while making predictions, caution has to be exercised.

Context-Specific Regulation of NF-?B Target Gene Expression by EZH2 in Breast Cancers

Project description:Both EZH2 and NF-?B contribute to aggressive breast cancer, yet whether the two oncogenic factors have functional cross-talk in breast cancer is largely unknown. Here, we uncover an unexpected role of EZH2 in conferring the constitutive activation of NF-?B target gene expression in ER-negative basal-like breast cancer cells. This function of EZH2 is independent of its histone methyltransferase activity but requires the physical interaction with RelA/RelB to promote the expression of NF-?B targets. Intriguingly, EZH2 acts oppositely in repressing NF-?B targets in ER-positive luminal-like breast cancer cells by interacting with ER and directing repressive histone methylation. Thus, EZH2 function as a double-facet molecule in breast cancers, functioning either as a transcriptional activator or repressor of NF-?B targets, in a cell context-dependent manner. These findings reveals an additional mechanism by which EZH2 promotes breast cancer progression and also underscore the need for developing context-specific strategy for therapeutic targeting of EZH2 in breast cancers. 12 samples were analyzed including three replicates of siNC CTRL and siEZH2 CTRL.

Human RELA haploinsufficiency results in autosomal dominant chronic mucocutaneous ulceration: the transcriptional profile of RelA haploinsufficient patients

Project description:The treatment of chronic mucocutaneous ulceration is challenging and only some patients respond selectively to inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a). TNF-a activates opposing pathways leading to caspase-8-mediated apoptosis as well as NF-kB-dependent cell survival. We investigated the etiology of autosomal dominant mucocutaneous ulceration in a family whose proband was dependent on anti-TNF-a therapy for sustained remission. A heterozygous mutation in RELA (NM_021975: c.559+1G>A), encoding the NF-kB subunit RelA (p65), segregated with the disease phenotype and resulted in RelA haploinsufficiency. The patients’ fibroblasts exhibited increased apoptosis in response to TNF-a, impaired NF-kB activation, and defective expression of NF-B-dependent anti-apoptotic genes. We show that Rela+/- mice have similarly impaired NF-kB activation, develop cutaneous ulceration from TNF-a exposure, and exhibit severe dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis ameliorated by TNF-a inhibition. These findings demonstrate an essential contribution of biallelic RELA expression in protecting stromal cells from TNF-a-mediated cell death, thus delineating the mechanisms driving the effectiveness of TNF-a inhibition in this disease.

Intragenic recruitment of NF-kB drives splicing modifications upon activation by the oncogene Tax of HTLV-1

Project description:Chronic NF-kB activation in inflammation and cancer has long been linked to persistent activation of NF-kB–responsive gene promoters. However, NF-kB factors also massively bind to gene bodies. Here, we demonstrate that recruitment of the NF-kB factor RELA to intragenic regions regulates alternative splicing upon NF-kB activation by the viral oncogene Tax of HTLV-1. Integrative analyses of RNA splicing and chromatin occupancy, combined with chromatin tethering assays, demonstrate that DNA-bound RELA interacts with and recruits the splicing regulator DDX17, in an NF-kB activation–dependent manner. This leads to alternative splicing of target exons due to the RNA helicase activity of DDX17. Similar results were obtained upon Tax-independent NF-kB activation, indicating that Tax likely exacerbates a physiological process where RELA provides splice target specificity. Collectively, our results demonstrate a physical and direct involvement of NF-kB in alternative splicing regulation, which significantly revisits our knowledge of HTLV-1 pathogenesis and other NF-kB–related diseases.

Switching of the Relative Dominance Between Feedback Mechanisms in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced NF-kB Signaling

Project description:The bacterial product lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulates nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) signaling, which results in the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), as part of the immune response. NF-kB target genes also include those encoding proteins that inhibit NF-kB signaling through negative feedback loops. By simultaneously studying the dynamics of the nuclear translocation of the NF-kB subunit RelA and the activity of a Tnf-driven reporter in a mouse macrophage cell line, Sung et al. found that the gene encoding RelA was also a target of NF-kB. Synthesis of RelA occurred only at higher concentrations of LPS and constituted a positive feedback loop that dominated over existing negative feedback mechanisms. Genes expressed in response to a high concentration of LPS were enriched for those involved in innate immune responses. Together, these data suggest that the RelA-dependent positive feedback loop enables macrophages to mount an effective immune only above a critical concentration of LPS. Bone-marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) cells were stimulated with zero, low, and high concentration of LPS separately for 4hrs. Two replicates for each condition.
