ZDHHC20-Mediated S-Palmitoylation of YTHDF3 Stabilizes MYC mRNA to Promote Pancreatic Cancer Progression

ABSTRACT: Post-translational modifications of malignant transformation and tumor maintenance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the context of KRAS signaling remains largely unexplored. Here, we used the KPC mouse model to examine the effect of palmitoylation on pancreatic cancer progression. ZDHHC20, upregulated by KRAS, is abnormally overexpressed and associated with poor prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer. Dysregulation of ZDHHC20 promotes pancreatic cancer progression in a palmitoylation-dependent manner. ZDHHC20 inhibits lysosomal localization and degradation of YTHDF3 through S-palmitoylation of Cys474, which can result in abnormal accumulation of the oncogenic product MYC and thereby promote the malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. Further, we designed a biologically active YTHDF3-derived peptide to competitively inhibit YTHDF3 palmitoylation mediated by ZDHHC20, which in turn downregulated MYC expression and inhibited the progression of KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer. Thus, these findings highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting the ZDHHC20-YTHDF3-MYC signaling axis in pancreatic cancer.

Flotillin-1 palmitoylation is essential for its stability and subsequent tumor promoting capabilities.

Project description:Flotillin-1 contributes to invasion and metastasis in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Palmitoylation, the process of conjugating palmitoyl-CoA to proteins, plays an essential role in protein stability and trafficking. Flotillin-1 is modified by palmitoylation, however, the role of its palmitoylation in the context of metastasis has not been explored. Using palmitoylation defective flotillin-1 constructs, we have demonstrated that flotillin-1 palmitoylation contributes to its stability and metastatic capabilities in vivo. Further investigation led to the identification of zDHHC5 as the main palmitoyl acyl transferase responsible for palmitoylating flotillin-1, which also contributed to its stability by preventing its poly-ubiquitylation. To assess the ability to target flotillin-1 palmitoylation therapeutically, we designed a competitive peptide, which displayed efficacy in blocking flotillin-1 palmitoylation in vitro without altering palmitoylation of other zDHHC5 substrates, highlighting its specificity. Additionally, multiple TNBC tumor models expressing a doxycycline inducible flotillin-1 palmitoylation inhibiting peptide construct displayed attenuated tumor growth and lung metastasis. The current study has demonstrated the palmitoylation of flotillin-1, a known metastasis inducing protein, to be essential for its protein stability. The demonstrated methods in blocking its palmitoylation through the delivery of a competitive peptide provide proof-of-concept data for further development as a potential targeted therapeutic in TNBC.

YTHDF3 improves translation initiation of mRNAs with N6-methyladenosine methylation at 5’ untranslated region by facilitating eIF2AK2 recruitment in oxaliplatin-resistant colorectal cancer - RIP-seq dataset

Project description:Oxaliplatin as a first-line drug frequently causes the chemo-resistance on colorectal cancer (CRC). N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation has been largely acknowledged in multiple biological functions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the m6A methylation in modulating anticancer drug resistance in CRC are still obscure. In present study, RIP-seq was conducted to investigate the occupancy of N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 3 (YTHDF3) served as “readers” that can recognize m6A modification site in HCT116 cells with oxaliplatin resistance (HCT116R). Then, YTHDF3 was knockdown by siRNA in HCT116 cells with oxaliplatin resistance, and RIP-seq was further conducted to investigate m6A methylation of HCT116, HCT116R and HCT116R cells with YTHDF3 knockdown.

SELENOK-Dependent CD36 Palmitoylation Regulates Microglial Functions and Aβ Phagocytosis

Project description:Amyloid-beta (Aβ) is a key factor in the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Selenium (Se) compounds show promise in AD treatment. Here, we reveal that selenoprotein K (SELENOK), a selenoprotein involved in immune regulation and potentially related to AD pathology, plays a critical role in microglial immune response, migration, and phagocytosis. In vivo and in vitro studies corroborate that SELENOK deficiency inhibits microglial Aβ phagocytosis, exacerbating cognitive deficits in 5xFAD mice, which are reversed by SELENOK overexpression. Mechanistically, SELENOK is involved in CD36 palmitoylation through DHHC6, regulating CD36 localization to microglial plasma membranes and thus impacting Aβ phagocytosis. CD36 palmitoylation is reduced in the brains of AD patients and mice. Se supplementation promotes SELENOK expression and CD36 palmitoylation, enhancing microglial Aβ phagocytosis and mitigating AD progression. We have identified the regulatory mechanisms from Se-dependent selenoproteins to Aβ pathology, providing novel insights into potential therapeutic strategies involving Se and selenoproteins.

Project description:Experiment designed to study the effect of 1 or 2 copies of deregulated myc on transcriptional profile during pancreatic cancer progression. In the KRasG12D/RosaMycER mouse model KRas and MycER are expressed exclusively in the pancreas, but MycER activity depends on Tamoxifen presence. RNAseq was preformed on pancreatas from KRasG12D/RosaMycER+/- or KRasG12D/RosaMycER+/+ mice treated 12 hours with Tamoxifen.

YTHDF3 Induces the Translation of m6A-enriched Metastasis-associated Gene Transcripts to Promote Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis [m6A-seq]

Project description:Brain metastasis is a major cause of cancer mortality, but its molecular mechanisms are severely understudied. We found that YTHDF3 overexpression clinically correlates with brain metastases in breast cancer patients and is required for brain metastasis. Silencing YTHDF3 suppressed the brain metastasis of breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Integrated transcriptome and m6A-seq analysis revealed alter expression of selected YTHDF3 target genes, including ST6GALNAC5, GJA1, and EGFR by promoting m6A-dependent translation of these target transcripts. Our work uncovers an essential role of YTHDF3 in controlling the interaction between cancer cells and brain microenvironment, thereby gaining brain metastatic competence.

KRAS drives immune evasion in a genetic model of pancreatic cancer

Project description:We used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to inactivate KRAS in pancreatic cancer cells and isolated cell populations that still produce tumors in mice. We show that the malignant phenotype of KRAS knockout cells is stable. However, KRAS deficient cancer cells fail to avoid detection and elimination by the host immune system, indicating that a key aspect of tumor maintenance by oncogenic KRAS is to promote immune evasion. Our study uncovers changes both in cancer cells and stromal immunoreactive cells attributable to KRAS expression. Complementation studies indicate that BRAF, AKT and MYC are causative drivers of KRAS-mediated immune suppression. These results show that combination treatments that both target KRAS signaling and boost antitumor immunity will be an effective strategy to treat PDAC.
