Virus-Human Chromatin Interactions Reorganise 3D Genome and Hijack KDM5B for Promoting Metastasis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: As the first human DNA tumour virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is detectable in over 90% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients in the endemic regions. Genome-wide analysis of 3D chromosome conformation revealed the virus-host chromatin interactions induce spatial reorganisation of loops and compartments, exhibiting “enhancer infestation” and “H3K27 bivalency” at EBV interaction regions (EBVIRs). Through this mechanism, EBV hijacks KDM5B, a genome stability gatekeeper, and its binding targets leading to aberrant activation of the EBVIRs-enhancer-KDM5B signature. The cancer cells with this signature had increased MYC activation, DNA damage responses, and epigenetic plasticity for epithelial-immune cell dual features with metastatic potential. Our multi-centre multi-omics study further confirmed that this signature was highly relevant to chromosome instability and could be utilised as a risk factor for distant metastasis. This study highlights a novel paradigm where latent viral episomes could alter host high-order epigenotype, promoting transcriptional rewiring and risk of metastasis in NPC.

Virus-Human Chromatin Interactions Reorganise 3D Genome and Hijack KDM5B for Promoting Metastasis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma [Omni-C]

Epstein-Barr virus BOLF1-containing extracellular vesicles promote nasopharyngeal carcinoma metastasis via SPP1+ macrophages

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with elevated plasma Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA levels are more susceptible to distant metastasis. However, the mechanisms underlying NPC progression mediated by EBV interactions with surrounding immune cells remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated immune cell subsets within the tumor microenvironment of NPC patients, stratified by EBV-DNA load. We innovatively identified SPP1+ tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), uniquely associated with EBV, as crucial prognostic indicators in NPC, within a retrospective cohort of 186 patients with a 10-year follow-up. Additionally, utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), we confirmed the presence of EBV protein in plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs). Screening revealed that only BOLF1-EVs promote NPC metastasis by upregulating SPP1+ TAMs. Notably, BOLF1-EVs induced significant metabolic alterations in TAMs, characterized by increased glycolysis and spare respiratory capacity. Importantly, we identified the JAK1-STAT3 pathway as a key mediator of BOLF1-EV-induced upregulation of SPP1 in macrophages, a crucial mechanism underlying tumor metastasis promotion. These findings highlight a potential biomarker for predicting patient metastasis and offer valuable insights for therapeutic decision-making.

Aberrant DNA methylation epigenotype expanding to non-polycomb target genes, induced by Epstein-Barr virus infection in human gastric cancer [Affymetrix Expression]

Project description:Aberrant promoter methylation is known to be deeply involved in human gastric carcinogenesis, while association of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to the aberrant methylation has not been fully clarified. We analyzed promoter methylation in clinical gastric cancer cases using illumina's Infinium beadarray, and hierarchical clustering analysis classified gastric cancer into three subgroups: low and high methylation epigenotypes in EBV-negative cases, and markedly higher methylation epigenotype that was completely matched to EBV-positive cases. Three epigenotypes were characterized by three groups of genes: genes methylated specifically in the EBV-positive epigenotype (EBV(+)-markers, e.g. CXXC4, TIMP2, PLXND1), genes methylated both in EBV-positive and high epigenotypes (High-markers, e.g. COL9A2, EYA1, ZNF365), and genes methylated all in EBV-positive, high and low epigenotypes of gastric cancer (Common-markers, e.g. AMPH, SORCS3, AJAP1). Polycomb repressive complex (PRC)-target genes in ES cells were significantly enriched in High- and Common-markers (P=2x10-15 and 2x10-34, respectively), but not in EBV(+)-markers (P=0.2), suggesting a different cause for EBV(+)-marker methylation. Recombinant EBV was infected to low epigenotype gastric cancer cell, MKN7. In all the three independently established clones, DNA methylation was induced in High- and EBV(+)-markers after 18 weeks, demonstrating that EBV-positive epigenotype should involve methylation of Common-, High-, and EBV(+)-markers simultaneously. The de novo methylated genes were overlapped well among the three clones, and the methylation caused gene repression. In summary, gastric cancer was classified into three DNA methylation epigenotypes, EBV-positive gastric cancer showed markedly high methylation epigenotype expanding to non-PRC target genes, and EBV infection per se could induce the EBV-positive epigenotype.

Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and Nasopharyngeal Epithelial Tissues [SeqCapEpi]

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is enedemic in Southeast Asia but is uncommon worldwide. In Hong Kong, approximately 95% of NPC cases are associated with Esptein-Barr Virus (EBV). EBV has been shown to induce changes in the epigenetics of EBV-malignancies. Epigenetics in NPC may thus play an important role in NPC pathogensis. We performed targeted bisulfite sequencing to accurately profile the methylation changes in NPC and investigate the role of abberant methylation pattern in NPC.

miRNA-Seq profiling of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and normal control samples

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). EBV encodes two groups of microRNAs (miRNAs) which are divided into BamHI fragment H rightward open reading frame 1 (BHRF1) and BamHI-A rightward transcripts (BART) microRNAs. EBV miR-BARTs have been found to be involved in the development and progression of NPC. However, the role of EBV-miR-BARTs in NPC progression remains illusive. This study aimed to investigate the role of EBV-miR-BARTs in NPC and explore the underlying mechanisms.

Expression data from EBV-encoded latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) positive and negative nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines

Project description:Latent infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is recognised as a factor in the pathogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We found that EBV encoded Latent membrane protein 2A (LMP2A) enhances lipid accumulation significantly in NPC cells. We used microarrays to identify differential genes regulated by LMP2A in NPC cell lines.
