The NuRD-SWI/SNF antagonism regulates the coordinated activation of EMT and inflammation in oral cancer

ABSTRACT: Phenotypic plasticity and inflammation, two well-established hallmarks of cancer, play key roles in local invasion and distant metastasis by enabling rapid adaptation to dynamic micro-environmental changes. Here, we show that in oral squamous carcinoma cell carcinoma (OSCC), the competition between the NuRD and SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes plays a pivotal role in regulating both epithelialmesenchymal plasticity (EMP) and inflammation. By genetically perturbing both complexes, we demonstrate their opposing downstream effects on inflammatory pathways and EMP regulation. In particular, downregulation of the BRG1-specific SWI/SNF complex deregulates key inflammatory genes such as TNF-α and IL6 in opposite ways when compared with loss of CDK2AP1, a key member of the NuRD complex. We show that CDK2AP1 genetic ablation triggers a pro-inflammatory secretome encompassing several chemo- and cytokines thus promoting the recruitment of monocytes into the tumor microenvironment (TME) and their differentiation into M2c macrophages, as also validated on tumor microarrays from OSCC patient-derived tumor samples. Further analysis of the inverse correlation between CDK2AP1 expression and TME immune infiltration revealed specific downstream effects on CD68+ macrophage abundance and localization. Our study sheds light on the role of chromatin remodeling complexes in OSCC locoregional invasion and points at the potential of CDK2AP1 and other members of the NuRD and SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets.

DOC1-dependent recruitment of NURD reveals antagonism with SWI/SNF during epithelial-mesenchymal transition in oral cancer cells.

Project description:The Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NURD) complex is a key regulator of cell differentiation that has also been implicated in tumorigenesis. Loss of the NURD subunit DOC1 is associated with human oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). Here, we show that restoration of DOC1 expression in OSCC cells leads to a reversal of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This is caused by the DOC1-dependent recruitment of NURD to repress the Twist master regulators of EMT. NURD recruitment drives extensive epigenetic reprogramming, including eviction of the SWI/SNF remodeler, formation of inaccessible chromatin, H3K27 deacetylation, recruitment of PRC2 and KDM1A, followed by H3K27 methylation and H3K4 demethylation. Strikingly, depletion of SWI/SNF mimics the effects of DOC1 re-expression. Our results suggest that SWI/SNF and NURD function antagonistically to control chromatin state. We propose that disturbance of this dynamic equilibrium may lead to defects in gene expression that drive human cancer.

Transcription profiling of fission yeast strains identifies widespread requirement for SWI/SNF and RSC on transcription

Project description:SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes play critical roles in transcription and other chromatin-related processes. The analysis of the two members of this class in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SWI/SNF and RSC, has heavily contributed to our understanding of these complexes. To understand the in vivo functions of SWI/SNF and RSC in an evolutionarily distant organism, we have characterized these complexes in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. While core components are conserved between the two yeasts, the compositions of S. pombe SWI/SNF and RSC differ from their S. cerevisiae counterparts and in some ways are more similar to metazoan complexes. Furthermore, several of the conserved proteins, including actin-like proteins, are strikingly different between the two yeasts with respect to their requirement for viability. Finally, phenotypic and microarray analyses identified widespread requirements for SWI/SNF and RSC on transcription including strong evidence that SWI/SNF directly represses iron transport genes.

Genome-wide profile of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex

Project description:A systems understanding of nuclear organization and events is critical for determining how cells divide, differentiate and respond to stimuli and for identifying the causes of diseases. Chromatin remodeling complexes such as SWI/SNF have been implicated in a wide variety of cellular processes including gene expression, nuclear organization, centromere function and chromosomal stability, and mutations in SWI/SNF components have been linked to several types of cancer. To better understand the biological processes in which chromatin remodeling proteins participate we globally mapped binding regions for several components of the SWI/SNF complex throughout the human genome using ChIP-Seq. SWI/SNF components were found to lie near regulatory elements integral to transcription (e.g. 5M-bM-^@M-^Y ends, RNA Polymerases II and III and enhancers) as well as regions critical for chromosome organization (e.g. CTCF, lamins and DNA replication origins). To further elucidate the association of SWI/SNF subunits with each other as well as with other nuclear proteins we also analyzed SWI/SNF immunoprecipitated complexes by mass spectrometry. Individual SWI/SNF factors are associated with their own family members as well as with cellular constituents such as nuclear matrix proteins, key transcription factors and centromere components implying a ubiquitous role in gene regulation and nuclear function. We find an overrepresentation of both SWI/SNF-associated regions and proteins in cell cycle and chromosome organization. Taken together the results from our ChIP and immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that SWI/SNF facilitates gene regulation and genome function more broadly and through a greater diversity of interactions than previously appreciated.

BCL7A and BCL7B potentiate SWI/SNF-complex-mediated chromatin accessibility to regulate gene expression and vegetative phase transition in plants

Project description:Switch defective/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes are multi-subunit machineries that establish and maintain chromatin accessibility and gene expression by regulating chromatin structure. However, how the remodeling activities of SWI/SNF complexes are regulated in eukaryotes remains elusive. B-cell lymphoma/leukemia protein 7A/B/C (BCL7A/B/C) have been reported as subunits of SWI/SNF complexes for decades in animals and recently in plants; however, the role of BCL7 subunits in SWI/SNF function remains undefined. Here, we identify a unique role for plant BCL7A and BCL7B homologous subunits in potentiating the genome-wide chromatin remodeling activities of BRAHMA-SWI/SNF complexes in plants. BCL7A/B require the catalytic ATPase BRAHMA (BRM) to assemble with the signature subunits of the BRM-SWI/SNF complexes and for genomic binding at a subset of target genes. Loss of BCL7A and BCL7B diminishes BRM-mediated genome-wide chromatin accessibility without changing the stability and genomic targeting of the BRM-SWI/SNF complex, highlighting the specialized role of BCL7A/B in regulating remodeling activity. We further show that BCL7A/B fine-tunes the remodeling activity of BRM-SWI/SNF complexes to generate accessible chromatin at the juvenility resetting region (JRR) of the microRNAs MIR156A/C for plant juvenile identity maintenance. In summary, our work uncovers the function of previously elusive SWI/SNF subunits in multicellular eukaryotes and provides insights into the mechanisms whereby plants memorize the juvenile identity through SWI/SNF-mediated control of chromatin accessibility.

Lamin binding profiles in the ENCODE regions

Project description:A systems understanding of nuclear organization and events is critical for determining how cells divide, differentiate and respond to stimuli and for identifying the causes of diseases.

To better understand the biological processes in which chromatin remodeling proteins participate we globally mapped binding regions for several components of the SWI/SNF complex throughout the human genome using ChIP-Seq. SWI/SNF components were found to lie near regulatory elements integral to transcription (e.g. 5’ ends, RNA Polymerases II and III and enhancers) as well as regions critical for chromosome organization (e.g. CTCF, lamins and DNA replication origins). To further elucidate the association of SWI/SNF subunits with each other as well as with other nuclear proteins we also analyzed SWI/SNF immunoprecipitated complexes by mass spectrometry.

The impact of SWI/SNF and NuRD inactivation on gene expression is tightly coupled with levels of RNA Polymerase II occupancy at promoters

Project description:SWI/SNF and NuRD are protein complexes that antagonistically regulate DNA accessibility. However, repression of their activities often leads to unanticipated changes in target gene expression (paradoxical), highlighting our incomplete understanding of their activities. Here we show that SWI/SNF and NuRD are in a tug-of-war to regulate PRC2 occupancy at lowly expressed and bivalent genes in mESCs. In contrast, at promoters of average or highly expressed genes, SWI/SNF and NuRD antagonistically modulate RNA Polymerase II release kinetics, arguably via modifying H3.3 and H2A.Z turnover rates at promoter-flanking nucleosomes, leading to paradoxical changes in gene expression. Owing to this mechanism, the relative activities of the two remodelers potentiate gene promoters towards Pol II-dependent open or PRC2-dependent closed chromatin states. Our results highlight RNA Polymerase II occupancy as the primary parameter determining the direction of gene expression changes in response to SWI/SNF and NuRD inactivation at gene promoters in mESCs.

Brd7, a novel PBAF-specific SWI/SNF subunit, is required for gene activation and repression in embryonic stem cells

Project description:The composition of chromatin remodeling complexes dictates how these enzymes control transcriptional programs and cellular identity. Here, we investigate the composition of SWI/SNF complexes in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). In contrast to differentiated cells, ESCs have a biased incorporation of certain paralogous SWI/SNF subunits, with low levels of Brm, BAF170 and ARID1B. Upon differentiation, the expression of these subunits increases, resulting in a higher diversity of compositionally distinct SWI/SNF enzymes. We also identify Brd7 as a novel component of the PBAF complex in both ESCs and differentiated cells. Using shRNA-mediated depletion of Brg1, we show that SWI/SNF can function as both a repressor and an activator in pluripotent cells, regulating expression of developmental modifiers and signaling components such as Nodal, ADAMTS1, Bmi-1, CRABP1 and TRH. Knock-down studies of PBAF-specific Brd7 and of a signature subunit within the BAF complex, ARID1A, show that these two sub-complexes affect SWI/SNF target genes differentially, in some cases even antagonistically. This may be due to their different biochemical properties. Finally, we examine the role of SWI/SNF in regulating its target genes during differentiation. We find that SWI/SNF affects recruitment of components of the pre-initiation complex in a promoter-specific manner, to modulate transcription positively or negatively. Taken together, our results provide insight into the function of compositionally diverse SWI/SNF enzymes that underlie their inherent gene-specific mode of action. R1 ESCs were infected in duplicates with shRNA targeting Brg1 or GLUT4 (as a control). Knockdown of Brg1 mRNA affected Brg1 protein levels efficiently. RNA was isolated 67 hours post-infection and analyzed using microarrays.

Nucleosome remodeling by the SWI/SNF complex in non-coding RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing (ChIP-seq)

Project description:RNA-mediated transcriptional silencing prevents deleterious effects of transposon activity and controls the expression of protein-coding genes. It involves long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)1, which in Arabidopsis thaliana are produced by a specialized RNA Polymerase V (Pol V)2. lncRNAs guide Argonaute-siRNA complexes to specific genomic loci and mediate the establishment of DNA methylation3,4. The mechanism by which lncRNAs affect chromatin structure and mRNA production remains mostly unknown. Here we identify the SWI/SNF nucleosome remodeling complex as a component of the RNA-mediated transcriptional silencing pathway. We found that SWI3, an essential subunit of the SWI/SNF complex, physically interacts with a lncRNA-binding IDN2 protein5,6. RNA-mediated DNA methylation and transcriptional silencing was compromised in the swi3 mutant. Moreover, targets of SWI/SNF significantly overlapped with genes controlled by Pol V, which shows that the physical interaction reflects a functional relationship. We further found that non-coding transcription by Pol V affects nucleosome positioning on silenced regions. We propose that lncRNAs mediate transcriptional silencing by guiding the SWI/SNF complex and establishing positioned nucleosomes on specific genomic loci. We further propose that guiding ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes may be a more general function of lncRNAs. H3 ChIP-seq of 2 samples (Col-0 and nrpe1) with 2 biological repeats.
