Project description:The involvement of G-Protein-Coupled Receptors’ (GPCR) location bias in diverse cellular functions and their misregulation in pathology is an underexplored territory. HCAR1, a GPCR for lactate is linked to cancer progression, mainly due to Warburg effect, but its mechanism of action remains elusive. Here, we show HCAR1 has a nuclear localization, capable of signaling intranuclearly to induce nuclear-ERK and AKT phosphorylation concomitant with higher cancer cell proliferation and survival. We determine its nuclear interactome, proving its involvement in protein-translation and DNA-damage repair. Nuclear HCAR1 (N-HCAR1) directly interacts with chromatin/DNA promoting expression of genes involved in cellular migration. Notably, we show N-HCAR1 particularly regulates a broader transcriptomic signature than its PM counterpart, emphasizing on the facts that functional output of N-HCAR1 is larger than PM localized HCAR1. Our study presents several unprecedented processes by which a GPCR through location-biased activity regulate various cellular functions and how cancer cells exploit these.

Project description:Splicing factor proline and glutamine rich (SFPQ), DNA- and RNA binding protein, is crucial in various nuclear processes, including paraspeckle formation, miRNA synthesis and specially in transcription regulation. In addition, SFPQ play a role in the innate immune response to viruses, including DNA and RNA viruses. However, the connections between SFPQ and EMCV infection remain unclear. Here we report that the SFPQ is essential for EMCV replication. Depletion of SFPQ impairs EMCV production, while forced expression of SFPQ could promote viral replication. Mechanistically, EMCV inhibited viral RNA-mediated type I IFN and IL6 production to eliminate host antiviral immune responses. Cellular SFPQ was cleaved by the EMCV proteinase then entered the cytoplasm and interacted with other ribosomal proteins to facilitate its internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-dependent translation. Moreover, loss of SFPQ may impress host translation related gene expression and thus facilitate the EMCV replication. Altogether, our work provides a possible target for resisting EMCV or EMCV-like virus’s infection.

Project description:SFPQ is a multifunctional nuclear protein first identified as a splicing factor, that participates in several cellular activities, including RNA transport, apoptosis and DNA repair. Here we report that SFPQ is a key mediator of platinum sensitivity in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer cell lines.

Project description:There is a growing body of evidence about the presence and the activity of the miRISC in the nucleus of mammalian cells. Here, we show by quantitative proteomic analysis that Ago2 interacts with nucleoplasmic Sfpq in a RNA-dependent fashion. By HITS-CLIP and transcriptomic analyses, we demonstrated that Sfpq directly controls the miRNA targeting of a subset of crucial miRNA-target mRNAs when it binds locally. Sfpq modulates miRNA targeting in both nucleoplasm and cytoplasm, indicating a nucleoplasmic imprinting of Sfpq-target mRNAs that influence miRNA targeting in both cellular compartments. Mechanistically, Sfpq binds to a sizeable set of long 3’UTR forming long aggregates to optimize miRNA position/recruitment to selected binding sites, as we show for Lin28A mRNA. These results extend the miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing into the nucleoplasm and indicate that an unique Sfpq-dependent post-transcriptional strategy for controlling both nuclear and cytoplasmic gene expression takes place in cells during physio-pathological events.

Project description:Oncoproteins such as the BRAFV600E kinase entrust cancer cells with malignant properties, but they also create unique vulnerabilies. Therapeutic targeting of the BRAFV600E-driven cytoplasmic signaling network has proven ineffective, since patients regularly relapse with reactivation of the targeted signaling pathways. Here, we identified the nuclear protein SFPQ to be synthetically lethal with BRAFV600E in a loss-of-function shRNA screen. SFPQ depletion decreased proliferation and induced apoptosis in BRAFV600E-driven colorectal and melanoma cells, and reduced tumor growth in xenografts. Mechanistically, SFPQ loss in BRAF-mutant cancer cells triggered the Chk1-dependent replication checkpoint, resulting in replication stress in the absence of overt DNA damage. Affected cells stalled in S-Phase with hallmark signs of impaired replication factories. Induction of BRAFV600E and concomitant loss of SFPQ sensitized cells to a combination of DNA replication checkpoint inhibitors and chemically induced replication stress, pointing towards future therapeutic approaches exploiting nuclear vulnerabilities induced by BRAFV600E.
