ZBTB16 inhibits DNA replication and induces cell cycle arrest by targeting WDHD1 transcription in lung adenocarcinoma [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality. ZBTB16 plays a double role in various tumors; however, the potential mechanism of ZBTB16 in the pathophysiology of lung adenocarcinoma has yet to be elucidated. We herein observed a decreased expression of ZBTB16 mRNA and protein in lung adenocarcinoma and a significantly increased DNA methylation level of ZBTB16 in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Analysis of public databases and patients’ clinical data indicated a close association between ZBTB16 and patient survival. Ectopic expression of ZBTB16 in lung adenocarcinoma cells significantly inhibited cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. It also induced cell cycle arrest in the S phase. Meanwhile, mitotic catastrophe was induced, and DNA damage and apoptosis occurred. In line with these findings, the overexpression of ZBTB16 in xenograft mice resulted in the inhibition of tumor growth. Comprehensive analysis showed that WDHD1 was a potential target for ZBTB16. The overexpression of both isoforms of WDHD1 significantly reversed the ZBTB16-mediated inhibition of lung adenocarcinoma proliferation and cell cycle. These studies suggest that ZBTB16 impedes the progression of lung adenocarcinoma by interfering with WDHD1 transcription, making it a potential novel therapeutic target in the management of lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Minichromosome maintenance protein 2 (MCM2) is a licensing factor for DNA replication. It interacts with other MCM proteins to comprise MCM2-7 complex, which acts as a helicase for DNA unwinding and limits DNA replication to one round per cell cycle. MCM2 has been widely used as a biomarker for proliferation in many types of cancer. However, the molecular regulation underlying MCM2 in lung cancer cells is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of MCM2 in lung adenocarcinoma A549 (wild-type p53) and H1299 (null p53) cells. MCM2 overexpression increased cell proliferation in A549 cells while silencing MCM2 decreased cell proliferation in H1299 cells. We performed global quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis to uncover the important downstream networks regulated by MCM2 in lung cancer cells. We identified 1484 phosphorylation sites in 593 phosphoproteins of MCM2-overexpressed A549 cells. Of these phosphosites, 110 phosphoproteins were significantly changed in response to MCM2 overexpression. In addition, we identified 1599 phosphorylation sites in 592 phosphoproteins of MCM2-silenced H1299 cells. Of these phosphosites, 57 phosphoproteins were significantly changed in response to MCM2 silencing. The differentially regulated phosphoproteins are involved in biological functions such as RNA splicing, cell cycle and cytoskeleton regulation. Functional study demonstrated that MCM2 overexpression promoted cell migration in A549 cells. Moreover, silencing MCM2 inhibits cell migration and induces cell cycle arrest in H1299 cells. Furthermore, we observed a common phosphorylation change at Ser-99 of high mobility group protein HMG-I/HMG-Y (HMGA1) in both MCM2 overexpression and silencing, indicating an important regulatory effect of Ser-99 HMGA1 on lung cancer cells. The phosphoproteomic profiling of MCM2 in lung cancer cells provides new insight about phosphorylation networks regulated by MCM2 and reveals novel targets for lung cancer therapy.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of 60 lung adenocarcinoma tumors and their matched histologically normal adjacent lung tissue samples were analyzed using Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 expression beadchip. We integrated these data with DNA methylation profiles of the same samples to identify potential DNA methylation regulated genes. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and adenocarcinoma is its most common histological subtype. Clinical and molecular evidence indicates that lung adenocarcinoma is a heterogeneous disease, which has important implications for treatment. Here we performed genome-scale DNA methylation profiling using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 platform on 59 matched lung adenocarcinoma/non-tumor lung samples, with genome-scale verification on an independent set of tissues. We identified 766 genes showing altered DNA methylation between tumors and non-tumor lung. By integrating DNA methylation and mRNA expression data, we identified 164 hypermethylated genes showing concurrent downregulation, and 57 hypomethylated genes showing increased expression. Integrated pathways analysis indicates that these genes are involved in cell differentiation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, RAS and WNT signaling pathways and cell cycle regulation, among others. Comparison of DNA methylation profiles between lung adenocarcinomas of current and never-smokers showed modest differences, identifying only LGALS4 as significantly hypermethylated and downregulated in smokers. LGALS4, encoding a galactoside-binding protein involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, was recently shown to be a tumor-suppressor in colorectal cancer. Unsupervised analysis of the DNA methylation data identified two tumor subgroups, one of which showed increased DNA methylation and was significantly associated with KRAS mutation and to a lesser extent, with smoking. Our analysis lays the groundwork for further molecular studies of lung adenocarcinoma by providing new candidate DNA methylation biomarkers for early detection, identifying novel molecular alterations potentially involved in lung adenocarcinoma development/progression, and describing an epigenetic subgroup of lung adenocarcinoma associated with KRAS mutation. 58 lung adenocarcinoma and 58 adjacent non-tumor lung fresh frozen tissues were macrodissected, and total RNA was isolated to be analyzed using the Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 expression beadchip.

Project description:Pathologic differentiation of tissue of origin in tumors found in the lung can be challenging, with differentiation of mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma emblematic of this problem. Indeed, proper classification is essential for determination of treatment regimen for these diseases, making accurate and early diagnosis critical. Here we investigate the potential of epigenetic profiles of lung adenocarcinoma, mesothelioma, and non-malignant pulmonary tissues (n=285) as differentiation markers in an analysis of DNA methylation at 1413 autosomal CpG loci associated with 773 cancer-related genes. Using an unsupervised recursively-partitioned mixture modeling technique for all samples, the derived methylation profile classes were significantly associated with sample type (P < 0.0001). In a similar analysis restricted to tumors, methylation profile classes significantly predicted tumor type (P < 0.0001). Random forests classification of CpG methylation of tumors - which splits the data into training and test sets - accurately differentiated MPM from lung adenocarcinoma over 99% of the time (P < 0.0001). In a locus-by-locus comparison of CpG methylation between tumor types, 1266 CpG loci had significantly different methylation between tumors following correction for multiple comparisons (Q < 0.05); 61% had higher methylation in adenocarcinoma. Using the CpG loci with significant differential methylation in a pathways analysis revealed significant enrichment of methylated gene-loci in Cell Cycle Regulation, DNA Damage Response, PTEN Signaling, and Apoptosis Signaling pathways in lung adenocarcinoma when compared to mesothelioma. Methylation-profile-based differentiation of lung adenocarcinoma and mesothelioma is highly accurate, informs on the distinct etiologies of these diseases, and holds promise for clinical application. Mesotheliomas (n=158) and grossly non-tumorigenic parietal pleura (n=18) were obtained following surgical resection at Brigham and Womenâ??s Hospital through the International Mesothelioma Program from a pilot study conducted in 2002 (n=70) and an incident case series beginning in 2005 (n=88) with a participation rate of 85%. We used biopsy specimens from patients treated for NSCLC at the Massachusetts General Hospital from 1992 â?? 1996 (18) including lung adenocarcinomas (n=57) and non-malignant pulmonary tissues (n=48) (of which 22 (39%) were taken from the adenocarcinoma patients) (18). Additional normal lung tissues were obtained from the National Disease Research Interchange from donors free of lung malignancy (n=4).
