MUC1-C PROMOTES CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IN THE PROGRESSION OF HEAD AND NECK SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMAS

ABSTRACT: Mucin 1 (MUC1) is aberrantly expressed in adenocarcinomas of epithelial barrier tissues and contributes to their progression. Less is known about involvement of MUC1 in the pathogenesis of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). The present work demonstrates that the MUC1 gene is upregulated in advanced head and neck SCCs (HNSCCs) and, as determined by scRNA-seq analysis, is expressed in the malignant cell populations of HNSCC tumors. Studies of HNSCC cell lines demonstrate that the MUC1-C subunit regulates expression of (i) RIG-I and MDA5 pattern recognition receptors, (ii) STAT1 and interferon (IFN) regulatory factors, and (iii) downstream IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). MUC1-C integrates STAT1 with induction of the ∆Np63 and SOX2 genes that are aberrantly expressed in HNSCCs. We also show that MUC1-C/STAT1 signaling activates the NFE2L2 gene and, in turn, MUC1-C binds directly to NRF2 in regulating redox balance. In extending these HNSCC cell dependencies, we demonstrate that MUC1-C is necessary for NOTCH3 expression, self-renewal capacity and tumorigenicity. These results indicate that MUC1-C is a common effector that integrates STAT1-mediated chronic inflammation with regulation of the ∆Np63, SOX2, NRF2 and NOTCH3 TFs. Our findings indicate that MUC1-C drives progression of the HNSCC CSC state and is a target for advanced HNSCC treatment.

Genomic signature of Fanconi anemia DNA repair pathway deficiency in cancer

Project description:Fanconi anemia (FA), a model syndrome of genome instability, is caused by a deficiency in DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair resulting in chromosome breakage. The FA repair pathway protects against carcinogenic endogenous and exogenous aldehydes. Individuals with FA are hundreds to thousands-fold more likely to develop head and neck (HNSCC), esophageal and anogenital squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Molecular studies of SCCs from individuals with FA (FA SCCs) are limited, and it is unclear how FA SCCs relate to sporadic HNSCCs primarily driven by tobacco and alcohol exposure or human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Here, by sequencing FA SCCs, we demonstrate that the primary genomic signature of FA-deficiency is the presence of high numbers of structural variants (SVs). SVs are enriched for small deletions, unbalanced translocations, and fold-back inversions, and are often connected, thereby forming complex rearrangements. They arise in the context of TP53 loss, but not HPV infection, and lead to somatic copy number alterations of HNSCC driver genes. We further show that FA pathway deficiency may lead to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and enhanced keratinocyte intrinsic inflammatory signaling, which would contribute to the aggressive nature of FA SCCs. We propose that genomic instability in sporadic HPV-negative HNSCC may arise consequent to the FA repair pathway being overwhelmed by ICL damage caused by alcohol and tobacco-derived aldehydes, making FA SCC a powerful model to study tumorigenesis resulting from DNA crosslinking damage.

Targeted proteomic quantitation of NRF2 signaling and predictive biomarkers in HNSCC

Project description:The NFE2L2/NRF2 oncogene and transcription factor drives a gene expression program that promotes cancer progression, metabolic reprogramming, immune evasion and chemoradiation resistance. Patient stratification by NRF2 activity may guide treatment decisions to improve outcome. Here, we developed a mass spectrometry (MS)-based targeted proteomics assay based on internal standard triggered parallel reaction monitoring (IS-PRM) to quantify 69 NRF2 pathway components and targets as well as 21 proteins of broad clinical significance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We improved the existing IS-PRM acquisition algorithm, called SureQuantTM, to increase throughput, sensitivity, and precision. Testing the optimized platform on 27 lung and upper aerodigestive cancer cell models revealed 35 NRF2 responsive proteins. In formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) HNSCCs, NRF2 signaling intensity positively correlated with NRF2 activating mutations and with SOX2 protein expression. PD-L2/CD273 and protein markers of T-cell infiltration correlated positively with one another and with human papilloma virus (HPV) infection status. p16/CDKN2A protein expression positively correlated with the HPV oncogenic E7 protein, and confirmed the presence of translationally active virus. This work establishes a clinically actionable HNSCC protein biomarker assay capable of quantifying over 600 peptides from frozen or FFPE archived tissues in under 90 minutes.

MUC1-C INTEGRATES CHRONIC TYPE II INTERFERON SIGNALING WITH CHROMATIN REMODELING PATHWAYS IN IMMUNOSUPPRESSION OF PROSTATE CANCER

Project description:The cancer stem cell (CSC) state is intimately associated with suppression of the immune tumor microenvironment (TME). The oncogenic MUC1-C protein drives dedifferentiation of castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) CSCs in association with induction of the BAF, NuRD and PBAF chromatin remodeling complexes. The present work demonstrates that MUC1-C is necessary for expression of IFNGR1 and activation of the type II interferon-gamma (IFN- pathway in CRPC cells. We show that the MUC1-CARID1A/BAF pathway induces IFNGR1 transcription and that MUC1-CNuRD signaling suppresses FBXW7 in stabilizing the IFNGR1 protein. MUC1-C and NuRD were also necessary for expression of the downstream STAT1 and IRF1 transcription factors. Additionally and in contrast, our results demonstrate that MUC1-C and the PBRM1/PBAF pathway are necessary for IRF1-induced expression of (i) IDO1, WARS and PTGES, which metabolically suppress the immune TME, and (ii) the ISG15 and SERPINB9 inhibitors of T cell function. Of translational relevance, we show that MUC1 associates with expression of IFNGR1, STAT1 and IRF1, as well as the downstream IDO1, WARS, PTGES, ISG15 and SERPINB9 immunosuppressive effectors in CRPC tumors. Consistent with these results, MUC1 associates with immune cell-depleted “cold” CRPC TMEs. These findings demonstrate that MUC1-C integrates chronic activation of the type II IFN-G pathway with induction of chromatin remodeling complexes in linking CSC dedifferentiation and immune evasion.

Knockdown of NUP62 of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line UMSCC1

Project description:p63, especially its dominant isoform ∆Np63⍺, plays essential roles in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs); yet the mechanisms controlling its nuclear transport remain unknown. Nucleoporins (NUPs) are a family of proteins building nuclear pore complex (NPC) and mediating nuclear transport across the nuclear envelope. Recent evidence suggests a cell-type-specific function for certain NUPs; however, the significance of NUPs in SCC biology remains unknown. In this study, we report that nucleoporin 62 (NUP62) is highly expressed in stratified squamous epithelia, which is further elevated in SCCs. Depletion of NUP62 inhibited the proliferation ability and augmented differentiation characteristics of SCC cells. This loss of dedifferentiation status was associated with defects in ∆Np63⍺ nuclear transport. We further found that differentiation inducible Rho kinase reduced an interaction between NUP62 and ∆Np63a by phosphorylation of phenylalanine-glycine regions of NUP62, resulting in attenuated ∆Np63⍺ nuclear import. Our results characterize NUP62 as a key gatekeeper for ∆Np63⍺ and uncover its significant function to control ∆Np63⍺ nuclear transport in SCC.

MUC1-C INDUCES PBRM1-MEDIATED CHROMATIN REMODELING IN DRIVING CHRONIC INFLAMMATION AND DNA DAMAGE RESISTANCE IN TRIPLE-NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER [BT549_shIRF1]

Project description:STAT1 and IRF1 are essential effectors of the type I and II interferon (IFN) pathways. Here, we report that the oncogenic MUC1-C protein is necessary for inducing chromatin accessibility and activation of the STAT1 and IRF1 genes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Our results demonstrate that MUC1-C activates the PBRM1 subunit of the SWI/SNF PBAF chromatin remodeling complex and forms a nuclear complex with PBRM1. We show that MUC1-C associates with PBRM1 and STAT1 on the IRF1 gene at (i) a proximal enhancer-like signature (PLS), and (ii) distal enhancer-like signatures (dELSs). We also show MUC1-C and PBRM1 are necessary for opening chromatin at these signatures and for the induction of IRF1 expression. In extending these results, we found that MUC1-C binds directly to IRF1 and forms nuclear complexes with PBRM1 and IRF1, which are necessary for inducing chromatin accessibility at PLS of the (i) STAT1 gene, (ii) type II IFN pathway IDO1 and WARS genes, and (iii) type I IFN pathway RIG-I, MDA5 and ISG15 genes. Consistent with involvement of chronic inflammation in promoting the cancer stem cell (CSC) state, we show that MUC1-C, PBRM1 and IRF1 are required for self-renewal of TNBC CSCs. Of translational relevance, we report that targeting MUC1-C, PBRM1 and IRF1 circumvents intrinsic DNA damage resistance of TNBC CSCs and that MUC1-C is necessary for acquired resistance to the PARP inhibitor olaparib. These findings demonstrate that MUC1-C activates PBRM1/IRF1 and thereby chromatin remodeling of IFN pathway genes that promote chronic inflammation, the CSC state and DNA damage resistance.
