HIFa isoform specific activation drives cell-type specificity of VHL-associated oncogenesis

ABSTRACT: Cancers arising from dysregulation of generally operative signaling pathways are commonly tissue specific, but the mechanisms underlying this paradox are poorly understood. Based on striking cell-type specificity, we postulated that these mechanisms must operate very early in cancer development and set out to study them in a model of von Hippel Lindau disease. Biallelic mutation of the VHL ubiquitin ligase leads to constitutive activation of hypoxia inducible factors HIF1A and HIF2A and is often a truncal event in clear cell renal carcinoma. We used an oncogenic tagging strategy in which VHL-mutant cells are marked by tdTomato, enabling their observation, retrieval, and analysis early after VHL-inactivation. Our findings reveal markedly different consequences of HIF1A and HIF2A activation, but that both contribute to renal cell-type specific consequences of VHL-inactivation in the kidney. Early involvement of HIF2A in promoting proliferation within proximal tubular epithelium supports therapeutic targeting of HIF2A early in VHL disease.

786-O and 786-VHL in EMCV study

Project description:786-0 is a cell line derived from a clear cell renal carcinoma. Previous studies have shown that the 786-O cell line harbors an inactivating mutation in the von-Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene. Mutations in the VHL gene occur in the majority of sporadic clear cell renal cell. To determine how inactivation of the VHL affects cellular functions, we created a derivative of 786-0, which we call 786-VHL in which a functional allele of VHL has been introduced back into the 786-O cell line. The renal cell carcinoma cell line 786-0, which harbors a mutated allele of VHL, was compared to a cell line derived from 786-0, termed 786-VHL, that contains a functional allele of VHL. Genes whose expression characteristics were dependent on functional VHL were identified.

2-hydroxyglutarate drives whole-genome hypermethylation in kidney cancer cells with inactivated VHL

Project description:Hypermethylation of tumor suppressors and other aberrations of DNA methylation in tumors play a significant role in cancer progression. DNA methylation can be affected by various environmental conditions including hypoxia. The response to hypoxia is mainly achieved through activation of the transcription program associated with HIF1a transcription factor. VHL inactivation by genetic or epigenetic events, which also induces aberrant activation of HIF1a, is the most common driver event for renal cancer. With whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and LC-MS, we demonstrated that VHL inactivation induced global genome hypermethylation in human kidney cancer cells under normoxic conditions. This effect was reverted by exogenous expression of wild-type VHL. We show that global genome hypermethylation in VHL mutants can be explained by the accumulation of 2-hydroxyglutarate -- a metabolite that inhibits DNA demethylation by Tet enzymes.

Next Generation Sequencing of 786-O-Ctrl and786-O-VHL Transcriptomes

Project description:Inactivation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is critical to clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) and VHL syndrome. VHL loss leads to stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIFα) and other substrate proteins, which may drive various tumor-promoting pathways. This process is likely reversible, because even in the highly aggressive human VHL-deficient ccRCC cell line 786-O, restoring VHL expression almost completely abolishes orthotopic tumor formation in immuno-deficient mice. This result highlights the potential of treating ccRCC by re-expressing VHL with gene therapy. However, there is inadequate understanding of the consequence of VHL restoration at the molecular level. Here, we reinstalled VHL expression in 786-O and performed transcriptome, proteome and ubiquitome profiling to assess the molecular impact.

Transcription profiling of HIF dependent and independent effects of VHL inactivation in C. elegans

Project description:The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor functions as a ubiquitin ligase that mediates proteolytic inactivation of hydroxylated a subunits of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Although studies of VHL defective renal carcinoma cells suggest the existence of other VHL tumor suppressor pathways, dysregulation of the HIF transcriptional cascade has extensive effects that make it difficult to distinguish whether, and to what extent, observed abnormalities in these cells represent effects on pathways distinct from HIF. Here, we report on a genetic analysis of HIF dependent and independent effects of VHL inactivation by studying gene expression patterns in C. elegans. We show tight conservation of the HIF-1/VHL-1/EGL-9 hydroxylase pathway. However, persisting differential gene expression in hif-1 versus hif-1; vhl-1 double mutant worms clearly distinguished HIF-1 independent effects of VHL-1 inactivation. Genomic clustering, predicted functional similarities, and a common pattern of dysregulation in both vhl-1 worms and a set of mutants (dpy-18, let-268, gon-1, mig-17 and unc-6), with different defects in extracellular matrix formation, suggest that dysregulation of these genes reflects a discrete HIF-1 independent function of VHL-1 that is connected with extracellular matrix function.

RNAseq transcriptome analysis of THP-1 macrophages activated by VHL-deficient kidney tubule cells

Project description:Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most prevalent subtype of renal cell carcinoma (up-to 70% of all RCC types). There is a very close causal correlation between ccRCC and inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) located on chromosome 3p25‐26. Up to 80% of sporadic ccRCC carry genomic mutations or epigenetic inactivation of VHL and nearly 100% familial ccRCC (in VHL disease) contain VHL deficiency. Accumulating evidence has indicated that ccRCC arises at the site of chronic inflammation and this solid tumor contains a substantial number of infiltrated immune cells. This indicates that ccRCC may be induced by the interaction between kidney tubule cells carrying inactivated VHL gene and the inflammatory microenvironment. In this study we characterized the interaction between VHL-deficient kidney tubule cells and macrophages with relevance to ccRCC formation, and found that human macrophages induced by VHL-deficient kidney tubule cells exhibit distinct gene expression program containing the signatures of tumor-associated macrophages that can promote ccRCC progression.

Lineage factor-dependent signalling by kidney cancer-associated genetic alteration

Project description:As shown by large-scale human genetic data, cancer mutations display strong tissue-selectivity, but how this selectivity arises remains unclear. Here, using experimental models, functional genomics and analysis of patient samples, we demonstrate that the lineage transcription factor paired box 8 (PAX8) is required for oncogenic signalling by two common clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC)-causing genetic alterations in humans: the germline variant rs7948643 at 11q13.3 and somatic inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor (VHL). VHL loss, observed in ~90% of ccRCCs, can lead to hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF2A) stabilization. We show that HIF2A is preferentially recruited to PAX8-bound transcriptional enhancers, including a pro-tumorigenic cyclin D1 (CCND1) enhancer that is controlled by PAX8 and HIF2A. The ccRCC protective allele C at rs7948643 inhibits PAX8 binding at this enhancer and downstream activation of CCND1 expression. Co-option of a PAX8-dependent physiological programme that supports proliferation of normal renal epithelial cells is also required for MYC expression from the ccRCC metastasis-associated amplicons at 8q21.3-q24.3. These results demonstrate that transcriptional lineage factors are essential for the expression of canonical oncogenes and they mediate tissue-specific cancer risk associated with somatic and inherited genetic variants

VHL Substrate Transcription Factor ZHX2 As An Oncogenic Driver In Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase protein is a hallmark of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Identifying how pathways affected by VHL loss contribute to ccRCC remains challenging. We used a genome-wide in vitro expression strategy to identify proteins that bound VHL only when hydroxylated. Zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2) was found as a VHL target and its hydroxylation allowed VHL to regulate its protein stability. Tumor cells from ccRCC patients with VHL loss-of-function mutations usually had increased ZHX2 amount and nuclear localization. Functionally, depletion of ZHX2 inhibited VHL-deficient ccRCC cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, integrated ChIP-Seq and microarray analysis showed that ZHX2 promoted NF-kB activation. These studies reveal ZHX2 as a potential therapeutic target for ccRCC.

VHL/HIF2a axis alters transcriptomic profiles in ccRCC

Project description:VHL loss is the most common genetic alteration event in ccRCC. VHL loss stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF2a). We compared the changes in transcriptomics profiles after VHL restoration or HIF2a siRNA knockdown in 786-O cells.
