ACTL6A regulates the Warburg effect through coordinated activation of AP-1 signaling in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: ACTL6a is an essential component of SWI/SNF and expressed on the chromosome 3q26 cytoband, which is amplified in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). While ACTL6A is emerging as an oncogene, its role as a treatment target and mechanisms of transcription factor induction remain unknown. Here, we show that ACTL6A expression is a mediator of the Warburg effect, with ACTL6A knockdown inducing mitochondrial dependency and significantly decreasing levels of aerobic glycolysis. Using ATAC-seq, we identify ACTL6A as a mediator of chromatin accessibility of AP-1 transcription factor sites and find that it regulates upstream MAPK signaling through induction Ras and Galectin-1. These effects sensitize ACTL6A over-expressing cells to inhibition of glycolysis by MEK inhibitors. Our results link SWI/SNF subunit amplification with potentiation of MAPK signaling in HNSCC and provide a novel mechanism by which cancer cells drive aerobic glycolysis and reduce mitochondrial dependency.

Microarray Samples for shACTL6A in HNSCC Cells to Investigate How ACTL6A and p63 Activate Hippo-YAP in SCC

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations in SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling subunit genes are observed in many cancers, but an oncogenic role for SWI/SNF is not well established. Here we reveal that ACTL6A, encoding a SWI/SNF subunit linked to stem and progenitor cell function, is frequently co-amplified and highly expressed together with the p53 family member p63 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). ACTL6A and p63 physically interact and cooperatively control a transcriptional program that promotes proliferation and suppresses differentiation, in part through activation of the Hippo-YAP pathway via regulators including WWC1. Consequently, loss of ACTL6A or p63 in tumor cells induces YAP phosphorylation and inactivation, associated with growth arrest and terminal differentiation, all phenocopied by WWC1 overexpression. In vivo, ectopic ACTLC6A/p63 expression promotes tumorigenesis, while ACTL6A expression and YAP activation are highly correlated in primary HNSCC and predict poor patient survival. Thus, ACTL6A and p63 collaborate as oncogenic drivers in HNSCC. Gene expression profiling of HNSCC cells with and without ablated endogenous ACTL6A via lentiviral shRNA.

ACTL6a Enforces the Epidermal Progenitor State by Suppressing SWI/SNF-Dependent Induction of KLF4

Project description:Somatic progenitors suppress differentiation to maintain tissue self-renewal. While epigenetic regulators of DNA and histone modifications can support such repression, a role for nuclear actin-like proteins is unclear. In epidermis, ACTL6a/BAF53A was found enriched in progenitors and down-regulated during differentiation. Conditional ACTL6a deletion abolished epidermal self-renewal and induced terminal differentiation, whereas ectopically expressed ACTL6a suppressed differentiation. Among known activators of epidermal differentiation, KLF4 was found to control 227 genes also regulated by ACTL6a. ACTL6a loss upregulated KLF4 and its target genes, effects that were blocked by KLF4 depletion. Among multiple ACTL6a-interacting epigenetic regulators, the SWI/SNF complex was required for KLF4 activation and differentiation. In progenitors, ACTL6a loss led to enhanced SWI/SNF binding to the promoters of KLF4 and other differentiation genes. ACTL6a thus maintains the undifferentiated progenitor state, in part by suppressing SWI/SNF complex-enabled induction of KLF4. Gene expression analysis: To identify the gene set controlled by ACTL6a in human keratinocyte. Total RNA was isolated in biologic duplicate from cells with ACTL6a loss as compared to controls, and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133 2.0 Plus arrays.

CUT&Tag result of ACTL6A, BRG1 and NRF2 related site in SNU638 gastric cancer cell line

Project description:ACTL6A has been identified as a transcriptional regulator and driving pathways that are of specific benefit to the malignant elements within the tumor. Here, we aimed to find genes that are regulated by ACTL6A by CUT&Tag. BRG1 is the catalytic subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2, NRF2) is a transcription factor that governs the antioxidant pathway. IgG was used as a control.

ACTL6a knockout peripheral nerve RNA seq at postnatal day 3

Project description:Cells need to integrate chemical and physical signals into transcriptional programs. In the peripheral nerves, axonal caliber selection by specialized Schwann cells, is critical for developmental myelination. However, only mechanisms through which Schwann cells sense chemical signals are well characterized. We identify ACtin-Like protein 6a (ACTL6a), a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, as critical for axonal caliber recognition and developmental myelination. ACTL6a is expressed in the developing nerve and, when activated by contact with axons or nanofibers of specific caliber, it promotes the eviction of repressive histone marks thereby enhancing the transcriptional program of myelination. Mutant mice with Schwann cells lacking ACTL6a display aberrant recognition of axonal caliber, resulting in defective radial sorting and lower levels of transcripts regulating myelination of developing nerves. We suggest that developing peripheral nerves require an ACTL6a-dependent integration of physical and chemical signals in Schwann cells to release of repressive histone modifications and promote myelination.

Mediator Kinase Complexes Regulates ATOH1-Dependent Intestinal Differentiation

Project description:Cyclin Dependent Kinases CDK8 and CDK19 (Mediator kinase) are regulatory components of the Mediator complex, a highly conserved complex that fine tunes transcriptional output. While Mediator kinase has been implicated in the transcriptional control of key pathways necessary for development and growth, its function in vivo has not been well described. Herein, we report the consequences of complete ablation of both Cdk8/19 on tissue homeostasis. We show that intestinal epithelial specific deletion of Mediator kinase leads to a distinct defect in secretory progenitor differentiation with broad loss of the intestinal secretory cell types. Using a phospho-proteogenomic approach, we show that the Cdk8/19 kinase module interacts with and phosphorylates components of the chromatin remodeling complex Swi/Snf in intestinal epithelial cells. Genomic localisation of Swi/Snf and Mediator shows Cdk8/19-dependent genomic binding at distinct super-enhancer loci within key lineage specification genes, including the master regulator of secretory differentiation ATOH1. Using CRISPRi/CRISPRa, we identify a distinct Mediator- Swi/Snf bound enhancer element that is necessary and sufficient for ATOH1 expression in a Mediator-kinase dependent manner. As such, these studies uncover a newly described transcriptional mechanism of ATOH1-dependent intestinal cell specification that is dependent on the coordinated interaction of the chromatin remodeling complex Swi/Snf and Mediator complex.
