NAB2-STAT6 drives an EGR1-dependent neuroendocrine program in Solitary Fibrous Tumors (ATAC-Seq)

ABSTRACT: The pathogenesis of many rare tumor types is poorly understood, preventing the design of effective treatments. Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that affect 1/1,000,000 individuals every year and are clinically assimilated to sarcomas. SFTs are commonly found throughout the body and can be surgically removed upon diagnosis. However, 30-40% of tumors become aggressive and can locally relapse or metastasize. There are no effective treatments for malignant SFTs to date. The molecular hallmark of SFTs is a gene fusion between the NAB2 and STAT6 loci on chromosome 12, resulting in a chimeric protein of poorly characterized function called NAB2-STAT6. We use primary samples and an inducible cell model to discover that NAB2-STAT6 operates as a transcriptional coactivator for a specific set of enhancers and promoters that are normally targeted by the EGR1 transcription factor. In physiological conditions, NAB2 is primarily localized to the cytoplasm and only a small nuclear fraction is available to operate as a co-activator of EGR1 targets. NAB2-STAT6 redirects NAB1, NAB2, and additional EGR1 to the nucleus and bolster the expression of neuronal EGR1 targets. The STAT6 moiety of the fusion protein is a major driver of its nuclear localization and further contributes to NAB2’s co-activating abilities. In primary tumors, NAB2-STAT6 activates a neuroendocrine gene signature that sets it apart from most sarcomas. These discoveries provide new insight into the pathogenesis of SFTs and reveal new targets with therapeutic potential.

NAB2-STAT6 Gene Fusions in Solitary Fibrous Tumor by Integrative Sequencing

Project description:<p>Transcriptome sequencing of solitary fibrous tumors / hemangiopericytomas from a variety of anatomic sites revealed recurrent gene fusions between two genes, NAB2 and STAT6. All SFTs examined exhibited an in-frame fusion transcript encoding a fusion protein containing the EGR1 interaction domain of NAB2 with the transcriptional activation domain of STAT6. Functional testing of the fusion alleles confirmed the conversion of the wt NAB2 repressor into a transcriptional activator. A range of individual fusion junctions can be detected by next-generation sequencing acro the sample set, highlighting the suitability of this method in the diagnostic characterization of SFTs. This study indentified the pathognomonic alteration in solitary fibrous tumors and illuminates a pathway towards targeted therapeutics for this cancer.</p>

Expression profile of the “heat-inducible N-degron” of Nab2 (nab2-td)

Project description:Gene expression in eukaryotes is an essential process that includes transcription, pre-RNA processing and RNA export. All these steps are coupled and normally, any failure in one step affects the other steps and could cause nuclear mRNA retention. One important player in this interface is the poly(A)-RNA binding protein Nab2, which regulates the poly(A)-tail length of mRNAs protecting their 3’-ends from a second round of polyadenylation and facilitating their nucleo-cytoplasmic export. Interestingly, here we show that Nab2 has additional roles in mRNA transcription elongation, tRNA metabolism and rRNA export. We use Genome-wide analysis of expression of a conditional degron nab2 mutant that allows the depletion of the protein in 15 minutes, to demosntrate that the role of Nab2 in RNAPII transcription and RNAPIII metabolism is not the result of a secondary effect. Our results identify primary targets of nab2 revealing novel functions for Nab2 in transcription and metabolism of most types of RNAs, not only poly(A) mRNAs, indicating that Nab2 function is more ubiquitous than previously anticipated, being a central player in the general and coordinated control of gene expression from transcription elongation to translation initiation.

Transcription profiling by array of Nab2 depletion effect on yeast mRNA

Project description:Transcription profiling was performed on the time course of Nab2 protein depletion in THC-Nab2 strain at 0h, 7h, 12h in biological triplicates to access its affect on the composition and structure of mRNA in budding yeast. For the protein depletion experiment THC-NAB2 (THJ collection Y2484, THC-NAB2:KAN tTA:URA, Open Biosystems) strain was used, where expression of the NAB2 gene is under control of a tetracyclin-repressible promoter.

Nab2 Drosophila pupal brain LC-MSMS

Project description:We exploit the predictable time course of Drosophila brain development to perform a temporally coupled quantitative proteomic analysis of the pupal brain in Nab2 mutant or overexpression models, which reveals that Nab2 is required to regulate the abundance of a number of proteins with critical roles in Drosophila neurons. Pupal brains lacking Nab2 show dysregulation of proteins, such as Futsch, Turtle, Contactin, and Van Gogh, that typically function in brain morphogenesis, neuroblast proliferation, circadian sleep/wake cycle, and other neurodevelopmental processes. Overall, these data define a role for Nab2 during neurodevelopment in regulating protein abundance for a subset of the brain proteome and provide a window into the potential functions of human ZC3H14 protein.
