Development of tools to induce exon skipping of a cryptic exon driving HLRCC

ABSTRACT: Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) arises from the loss of fumarate hydratase (FH) activity, leading to the development of cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas as well as early-onset type 2 papillary renal cell carcinoma. Recently, we identified a pathogenic intronic variant in the FH gene that disrupts splicing by creating a novel splice acceptor site, resulting in the aberrant inclusion of a cryptic exon. This exon introduces a premature termination codon, leading to loss of enzymatic function. To restore FH expression, we aimed to identify strategies to exclude the cryptic exon from the mature mRNA. To this end, we generated a mini-gene GFP reporter system that recapitulates the splicing defect observed in patients. We employed CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to modulate splicing and were able to show that both strategies can successfully promoted exon skipping in a reporter cell line. Furthermore, we were able to shift the balance between the different FH mRNA isoforms in patient derived fibroblasts using ASOs. These findings support the potential of splicing modulation as a therapeutic approach for HLRCC-associated FH non-coding loss-of-function mutations.

Expression data from mouse kidney epithelial cells

Project description:Fumarate hydratase (FH) is the enzyme in the Krebs cycle, which transforms fumarate to malate. Loss of fumarate hyrdragase leads to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). The biallelic inactivation has been highly accumulated in FH-deficient cells and is considered a major pro-oncogenic factor for HLRCC tumorigenesis. We used microarrays to understand the global readaptation of cell metabolism of gene expression underlying the truncated Krebs cycle by loss of function of fumarate hydratase. The fumarate hydratase wild type and knock out cells were generated for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Fumarate induces vesicular release of mtDNA to drive innate immunity

Project description:Fumarate Hydratase (FH) is an enzyme of the Tricarboxilic Acid Cycle (TCA) that catalyzes the conversion of fumarate into malate. In the last decade, studies have revealed FH as a bona fide tumour suppressor whose mutations cause Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC). Loss of FH in the kidney elicits several oncogenic signalling cascades through the accumulation of the oncometabolite fumarate. Yet, whilst the long-term consequences of FH loss have been extensively described, the acute response to FH loss has not been investigated due, in part, to the lack of a suitable model. Here, we generated a new inducible mouse model to investigate the chronology of the murine homologue of FH, Fh1, loss in the adult kidney.

HIRA loss transforms FH deficient cells [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Fumarate Hydratase (FH) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses the reversible hydration of fumarate to malate in the TCA cycle. Germline mutations of FH lead to HLRCC, a cancer syndrome characterised by a highly aggressive form of renal cancer(1). Although HLRCC tumours metastasise rapidly, FH-deficient mice develop premalignant cysts in the kidneys, rather than carcinomas(2). How Fh1-deficient cells overcome these tumour suppressive events during transformation is unknown. Here, we perform a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify genes that, when ablated, enhance the proliferation of Fh1-deficient cells. We found that the depletion of the HIRA enhances proliferation and invasion of Fh1-deficient cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Hira loss enables the activation of MYC and its target genes, increasing nucleotide metabolism specifically in Fh1-deficient cells, independent of its histone chaperone activity. These results are instrumental for understanding mechanisms of tumorigenesis in HLRCC and the development of targeted treatments for patients.

Proteogenomic Landscape of Uterine Leiomyomas from Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer Patients

Project description:Pathogenic mutations in fumarate hydratase (FH) drive hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) and increase the risk of developing uterine leiomyomas (ULMs). An integrated proteogenomic analysis of ULMs from HLRCC (n=16; FH-mutation confirmed) and non-syndromic (NS) patients (n=12) identified a significantly higher protein:transcript correlation in HLRCC (R=0.35) vs. NS ULMs (R=0.242, MWU p=0.0015). Co-altered proteins and transcripts (228) included antioxidant response element (ARE) target genes, such as thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1), and correlated with activation of NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response signaling in HLRCC ULMs. We confirm 185 transcripts previously described as altered between HLRCC and NS ULMs, 51 co-altered at the protein level and several elevated in HLRCC ULMs are involved in regulating cellular metabolism and glycolysis signaling. Furthermore, 367 S-(2-succino)cysteine peptides were identified in HLRCC ULMs, of which sixty were significantly elevated in HLRCC vs. NS ULMs (LogFC=1.86, MWU p<0.0001). These results confirm and define novel proteogenomic alterations in uterine leiomyoma tissues collected from HLRCC patients and underscore conserved molecular alterations correlating with inactivation of the FH tumor suppressor gene.

Expression data of cystic renal epithelial tissue from mice deficient for fumarate hydratase.

Project description:Fumarate hydratase (FH) mutations cause hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). We have conditionally inactivated the murine ortholog (Fh1) in renal tubular epithelial cells in order to generate an in vivo model of HLRCC. Fh1 knockout mice recapitulates important aspects of HLRCC including the development of renal cysts that overexpress hypoxia inducible factor alpha (Hifa) and Hif-target genes. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cyst development in Fh1 knockout mice and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Keywords: gene expression, comparison (wild-type n=3 vs knockout n=3)

An antioxidant response phenotype is shared between hereditary and sporadic type 2 papillary renal cell carcinoma

Project description:Fumarate hydratase (FH) mutation causes hereditary type 2 papillary renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC, Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (MM ID # 605839)). The main effect of FH mutation is fumarate accumulation. The current paradigm posits that the main consequence of fumarate accumulation is HIF-a stabilization. Paradoxically, FH mutation differs from other HIF-a stabilizing mutations, such as VHL and SDH mutations, in its associated tumor types. We identified that fumarate can directly up-regulate antioxidant response element (ARE)-controlled genes. We demonstrated that AKR1B10 is an ARE-controlled gene and is up-regulated upon FH knockdown as well as in FH-null cell lines. AKR1B10 overexpression is also a prominent feature in both hereditary and sporadic PRCC2. This phenotype better explains the similarities between hereditary and sporadic PRCC2.
