VRK1 can be a novel therapeutic target in small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix

ABSTRACT: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix (SCNEC) is a rare and highly aggressive cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of vaccinia-related kinase 1 (VRK1) as a therapeutic target for SCNEC and to elucidate its functional mechanisms. VRK1 expression was found to be higher in SCNEC than in other histological types of cervical cancer. In both 3D cell culture and subcutaneous mouse models, shRNA-mediated VRK1 knockdown (shVRK1) exhibited significant antitumor effects. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis of RNA-seq data from the subcutaneous mouse models indicated that the effects of VRK1 are related to responses to external stimuli and mitochondrial pathways. In vitro, mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased under hydrogen peroxide stimulation in shVRK1 cells compared to controls, suggesting that VRK1 knockdown induces mitochondrial dysfunction under external stimuli. In summary, VRK1 may be a promising therapeutic target for SCNEC, particularly through its role in mitochondrial responses to external stimuli.

VRK1 is required in VRK2-methylated cancers of the nervous system

Project description:Collateral lethality occurs when loss of one paralog renders cancer cells dependent on the remaining paralog. Combining genome scale CRISPR/Cas9 screens coupled with RNA-sequencing in over 900 cancer cell lines, we found that cancers of nervous system lineage, including adult and pediatric gliomas and neuroblastomas, required the nuclear kinase Vaccinia-Related Kinase 1 (VRK1) for their survival. VRK1 dependency was inversely correlated with expression of its paralog VRK2. VRK2 knockout in VRK2-expressing cell lines sensitized cells to VRK1 knockout, and conversely, VRK2 overexpression increased cell fitness in VRK1-dependent cell lines upon suppression of VRK1. DNA methylation of the VRK2 promoter was associated with low VRK2 expression in human neuroblastomas, and adult and pediatric gliomas. Mechanistically, depletion of VRK1 reduced Barrier-to-Autointegration Factor (BAF) phosphorylation, induced abnormal chromosome segregation. and dysregulated nuclear membrane re-formation following mitosis, resulting in increased DNA damage and apoptosis. Together, these observations identify VRK1 as a synthetic lethal target in VRK2-methylated adult and pediatric gliomas and neuroblastomas.

Comparative interactomes of VRK1 and VRK3: implication in cell cycle, chromatin assembly, RNA processing and DNA repair

Project description:Vaccinia related kinase (VRK) family is a ser/threonine kinase. VRK1 and VRK3 are localized in the same organelle, mainly in the nucleus. Comparative interactomes of VRK1 and VRK3 were not performed yet. We identified over 200 unreported VRK1/3-interacting proteins by proteomics-based analyses using the complementary mass spectrometry approach. Among those proteins, nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins were mostly enriched reflecting nuclear and cytoplasmic localization of VRK1/3. The interaction networks of interactome indicated biological processes associated with cell cycle, DNA repair, chromatin assembly and RNA processing. Interactions and co-localization of NCL, PARP1, HSP70, XRCC5, p53, NPM1, BAF1, cyclinB1 and ALYREF with VRK1/3 were confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent staining. Overall, this study represents a valuable resource for investigating VRK1 and VRK3 functions in health and disease, encompassing emerging themes of VRK1/3 regulation in cell cycle, mRNA processing, chromatin assembly and DNA repair.
