Project description:Overexpression of EZH2 in estrogen receptor negative (ER-) breast cancer promotes metastasis. EZH2 has been mainly studied as the catalytic component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) that mediates gene repression by trimethylating histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). However, how EZH2 drives metastasis despite the low H3K27me3 levels observed in ER- breast cancer is unknown. We have shown that in human invasive carcinomas and distant metastases, cytoplasmic EZH2 phosphorylated at T367 is significantly associated with ER- disease and low H3K27me3 levels. Here, we explore the interactome of EZH2 and of a phosphodeficient mutant EZH2_T367A. We identified novel interactors of EZH2, and identified interactions that are dependent on the phosphorylation and cellular localization of EZH2 that may play a role in EZH2 dependent metastatic progression.

Project description:The responses of macrophages to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) might determine the direction of clinical manifestations of sepsis, which is the immune response against severe infection. Meanwhile, the enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (Ezh2), a histone lysine methyltransferase of epigenetic regulation, might interfere with LPS response. With a single LPS stimulation, Ezh2 null(Ezh2flox/flox; LysM-Crecre/−) macrophages demonstrated lower supernatant TNF-α than Ezh2 control (Ezh2fl/fl; LysM-Cre−/−), perhaps due to an upregulation of Socs3, which is a suppressor of cytokine signaling 3, due to the loss of the Ezh2 gene. In LPS tolerance, Ezh2 null macrophages indicated higher supernatant TNF-α and IL-6 than the control, supporting an impact of the loss of the Ezh2 inhibitory gene. In parallel, Ezh2 null mice demonstrated lower serum TNF-α and IL-6 than the control mice after an LPS injection, indicating a less severe LPS-induced hyper-inflammation in Ezh2 null mice. In conclusion, an absence of Ezh2 in macrophages resulted in less severe LPS-induced inflammation, as indicated by low serum cytokines, with less severe LPS tolerance, as demonstrated by higher cytokine production, partly through the upregulated Socs3.

Project description:Unveiling the molecular mechanisms of tissue remodelling following injury is imperative to elucidate its regenerative capacity and aberrant repair in disease. Using different omics approaches, we identified enhancer of zester homolog 2 (EZH2) as a key regulator that initiates a fibrotic cascade in injured lung epithelium. Epithelial-injury-driven enrichment of nuclear transforming growth factor-b-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) mediates EZH2 phosphorylation to facilitate the release of EZH2 from polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). This process leads to the establishment of a fibrotic transcriptional complex of EZH2, RNA-polymerase II (POL2) and nuclear actin, which orchestrates aberrant epithelial lung repair programs. The liberation of EZH2 from PRC2 is accompanied by an EZH2-EZH1 switch to preserve silencing at non-target genes. Loss of epithelial TAK1, EZH2 or blocking nuclear actin influx attenuates the fibrotic cascade and restores respiratory homeostasis. Accordingly, EZH2 inhibition significantly improves outcomes in a pulmonary fibrosis mouse model. Our results reveal an important non-canonical function of EZH2, paving the way for new therapeutic interventions in fibrotic lung diseases.

Project description:The Enhancer of Zeste 2 Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Subunit (EZH2) is an essential epigenetic modifier able to methylate lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27) to induce chromatin compaction, protein complex recruitment and ultimately transcriptional repression. Hematologic malignancies, including Diffuse Large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have shown a high EZH2-mutation frequency (>20%) associated with poor clinical outcomes. Particularly, two distinct oncogenic mutations, so-called gain-of-function (Y641F and A677G) and loss-of-function (H689A and F667I) are found in the catalytic domain of EZH2. In this study, a comprehensive multi-omics approach was employed to characterize downstream effects of H3K27me3 deposition driven by EZH2 mutations. Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T) were transfected to generate three stable EZH2 mutants: EZH2(Y641F), EZH2(A677G), and EZH2(H689A/F667I), which were validated via immunoblotting and DIA-MS-based histone profiling assay. Subsequently, constructs were analyzed under a comprehensive multi-omics approach including label-free whole-cell proteomics, acquired with a Bruker timsTOF Pro HPLC-MS/MS with Ion Mobility. Important protein interactors at nuclear level were dysregulated, such as SMYD3 (SET and MYND domain containing 3), NSD2 (nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 2) and CHD7 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 7), suggesting a cooperative network of chromatin remodelers for gene expression reprogramming.

The histone profiling assay demonstrated a significant increase of approximately two-fold in H3.1/H3.3K27me3 for Y641F EZH2 mutant. There was a modest increase in the combinatorial PTMs H3.1/H3.3K27me3K36me1 and a significant depletion in H3.1 and H3.3 K27me2. The most depleted peptide was H3.3K27me2K36me2. For the A677G EZH2 mutant, the assay demonstrated an enrichment on H3.1/H3.3K27me3, combinatorial K27me3K36me1 and a slight increase in K27me1 and K18ac but only on H3.1. The most depleted peptide was H3.3K27me2K36me2. The H689A/F667I cell line has the most alterations in global histone PTMs. The most highly enriched were H3.1/H3.3K36me2, H3.1K9me3 and H3.3K36me1. The most depleted modifications were H3.1K23ac and H3.1K27me3.

Project description:Chemotherapy resistance is the main impediment in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Despite rapid advances, the various mechanisms that lead to resistance development remain to be defined in detail. Here we report that loss-of-function mutations (LOF) in the histone methyltransferase EZH2 have the potential to confer resistance against the chemotherapeutic agent cytarabine. We identify seven distinct EZH2 mutations leading to loss of H3K27 trimethylation via multiple mechanisms. Analysis of matched diagnosis and relapse samples reveal a heterogenous regulation of EZH2 and a loss of EZH2 in 50% of patients. We confirm that loss of EZH2 induces resistance against cytarabine in the cell lines HEK293T and K562 as well as in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. Proteomics and transcriptomics analysis reveal that resistance is conferred by upregulation of multiple direct and indirect EZH2 target genes that are involved in apoptosis evasion, augmentation of proliferation and alteration of transmembrane transporter function. Our data indicates, that loss of EZH2 results in upregulation of its target genes, providing the cell with a selective growth advantage, which mediates chemotherapy resistance.

Project description:Efforts to therapeutically target EZH2 have generally focused on inhibition of its methyltransferase activity, although it remains less clear whether this is the central mechanism whereby EZH2 promotes cancer. We demonstrate that EZH2 directly interacts with both MYC family oncoproteins, MYC and MYCN, and promotes their stabilization in a methyltransferase-independent manner. By competing against the SCFFBW7 ubiquitin ligase to bind MYC and MYCN, EZH2 counteracted FBW7-mediated MYC(N) polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Depletion, but not enzymatic inhibition, of EZH2 induced robust MYC(N) degradation and inhibited tumor cell growth in MYC(N) driven neuroblastoma and small cell lung cancer. These findings unveil the MYC family proteins as global EZH2 oncogenic effectors and EZH2 pharmacologic degraders as potential MYC(N) targeted cancer therapeutics, pointing out that MYC(N) driven cancers may develop inherent resistance to the canonical EZH2 enzymatic inhibitors currently in clinical development.
