CBX7 Promotes Lung Adenocarcinoma Metastasis by Transcriptionally Repressing SOCS3

ABSTRACT: In lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), metastasis is a leading cause of mortality and notably tends to occur at an early stage of the disease. CBX7, a component of canonical Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) which mediates transcriptional repression, exhibits complex and context-dependent functions across different types of cancer. However, the roles of CBX7 in LUAD metastasis remain largely uncharacterized. Here we report that overexpression of CBX7 promotes, whereas its knockdown suppresses, LUAD cell migration and invasion in vitro. In vivo studies further confirm the pro-metastatic role of CBX7 in LUAD. Mechanistically, CBX7 suppresses the expression of SOCS3, which has been reported to be involved in cancer cell migration and invasion. At the molecular level, CBX7 binds to SOCS3 transcription start site (TSS) downstream region to establish monoubiquitination of histone H2A at lysine 119 (H2AK119ub), leading to transcriptional repression of SOCS3. Furthermore, knockdown of SOCS3 rescues the reduced migration and invasion caused by CBX7 depletion in LUAD cells. Together, our findings identify CBX7 as a positive regulator of LUAD metastasis and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target for LUAD treatment.

Project description:Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) down-regulates several signaling pathways in multiple cell types, and previous data suggest that SOCS3 may shut off cytokine activation at the early stages of liver regeneration. We developed hepatocyte-specific Socs3 knockout (Socs3 h-KO) mice to directly study the role of SOCS3 during liver regeneration after 2/3 partial hepatectomy (PH). Socs3 h-KO mice demonstrate marked enhancement of DNA replication and liver weight restoration after 2/3 PH in comparison with littermate controls. Without SOCS3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation is prolonged, and activation of the mitogenic kinases extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) is enhanced after PH. In vitro, we show that SOCS3 deficiency enhances hepatocyte proliferation in association with enhanced STAT3 and ERK activation after epidermal growth factor (EGF) or interleukin 6 (IL-6) stimulation. Microarray analyses show that SOCS3 modulates a distinct set of genes after PH, which fall into diverse physiologic categories. Using a model of chemical-induced carcinogenesis, we found that Socs3 h-KO mice develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) at an accelerated rate. By acting on cytokines and multiple proliferative pathways, SOCS3 modulates both physiologic and neoplastic proliferative processes in the liver, and may act as a tumor suppressor. Experiment Overall Design: Hepatocyte-specific excision of the Socs3 gene was achieved by breeding Socs3 fl/fl mice with mice expressing the Cre recombinase transgene under control of the albumin promoter (Alb-Cre+), yielding Socs3 h-KO mice. Socs3 fl/fl, Alb-Cre- littermates were used as controls for all experiments, and are henceforth referred to as littermates. All mice (C57BL/6) were free of Helicobacter species, housed in a specific pathogen free facility with 12-h light/dark cycles with free access to standard food and water. 2/3 PH and sham operations were performed as previously described (15, 50) (n=3-6 mice per genotype per time point). Liver remnants were weighed after removal of necrotic stumps and sutures, and compared to post-operative body weight. For HCC experiments, a single i.p. injection of DEN (5mg/kg, Sigma) was performed 12-14 d after birth. For short time points, a single injection of DEN (100mg/kg) (31) was given to 4 wk old mice. At indicated time points, mice were sacrificed by CO2 inhalation. All animal studies were carried out under approved IACUC protocols at the University of Washington.
