Gene expression profiling of enforced HOXA1 expression in melanoma cell line (SkMel30)

ABSTRACT: We recently reported an oncogenomics-guided screening approach designed to identify genetic drivers of early stage melanoma metastasis, and in this study we functionally validate the top-scoring candidate, homeobox transcription factor A1 (HOXA1), by demonstrating HOXA1‘s robust effects on melanoma cell invasion, metastasis and tumorigenicity. Transcriptome and pathway profiling analyses of cells expressing HOXA1 reveal up-regulation of factors involved in diverse cytokine pathways that include the TGFβ signaling axis, which we further demonstrate to be required for HOXA1-mediated cell invasion. Transcriptome profiling also informed HOXA1’s ability to potently down-regulate expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and other genes required for melanocyte differentiation, suggesting a mechanism by which HOXA1 expression de-differentiates cells into a pro-invasive precursor cell state concomitant with TGFβ activation. Our analysis of publicly available datasets indicate that the HOXA1-induced gene signature successfully categorizes melanoma specimens based on their metastatic potential and, importantly, is capable of stratifying melanoma patient risk for metastasis based on expression in primary tumors.

The HOXA1-induced transcription analysis was conducted using RNAs extracted from SkMel30 cells transduced with either control or HOXA1, followed by hybridization of labeled cDNA onto Affymetrix GeneChips (Human Genome U133Plus2.0).

Identification of Hoxa1 downstream targets

Project description:To better understand the role of Hoxa1 during embryogenesis and gain insight to the transcriptional network controlled by this gene, we carried out a large-scale screening for Hoxa1 downstream targets by performing microarray analysis. Tissue from the rhombomere 3-5 region of wildtype and Hoxa1 null embryos, including neuroectoderm, mesoderm and otic ectoderm was microdissected at the peak of Hoxa1 expression. RNA from wildtype and Hoxa1Δ/Δ samples was hybridized to the Agilent mouse whole genome array.

Modeling myelodysplastic syndromes in mice by altered Hoxa1 spliceform expression

Project description:The homeobox gene, Hoxa1, has two different isoforms generated by alternative splicing: a full-length homeodomain-containing Hoxa1 (Hoxa1-FL), and a truncated Hoxa1 (Hoxa1-T), that lacks the homeodomain. Oncoretroviral overexpression of wildtype Hoxa1 cDNA (WT-Hoxa1), which generates both Hoxa1 isoforms, in murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) perturbed hematopoiesis, resulting in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in mice. Overexpression of a mutated Hoxa1 cDNA (MUT-Hoxa1) that generates Hoxa1-FL but not Hoxa1-T led to a more severe MDS capable of transforming to secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML). Similar to human MDS, DNA damage repair pathways were downregulated in Hoxa1-overexpressing hematopoietic progenitor cells. Conditional knock-in mouse models revealed a Hoxa1-FL dosage-dependent effect on MDS disease severity. Our data reveal that increased expression of Hoxa1-FL in HSPCs is sufficient to initiate MDS in mice. CD34+ cells from up to 50% of patients with MDS had elevated HOXA1-FL expression, highlighting the clinical relevance of our mouse models.

A distal enhancer maintaining Hoxa1 expression orchestrates retinoic acid-induced early ESCs differentiation

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) induces rapid differentiation of ESCs, partly by activating expression of the transcription factor Hoxa1, which regulates downstream target genes that promote ESCs differentiation. However, mechanisms of RA-induced Hoxa1 expression and ESCs early differentiation remain largely unknown. Here, we identify a distal enhancer interacting with the Hoxa1 locus through a long-range chromatin loop. Enhancer deletion significantly inhibited expression of RA-induced Hoxa1 and endoderm master control genes such as Gata4 and Gata6. Transcriptome analysis revealed that RA-induced early ESCs differentiation was blocked in Hoxa1 enhancer knockout cells, suggesting a requirement for the enhancer. Restoration of Hoxa1 expression partly rescued expression levels of ~40% of genes whose expression changed following enhancer deletion, and ~18% of promoters of those rescued genes were directly bound by Hoxa1. Our data show that a distal enhancer maintains Hoxa1 expression through long-range chromatin loop and that Hoxa1 directly regulates downstream target gene expression and then orchestrates RA-induced early differentiation of ESCs.

MITF and BRN2 contribute to metastatic growth after dissemination of melanoma.

Project description:Melanoma tumors are highly heterogeneous, comprising of different cell types that vary in their potential for growth and invasion. Heterogeneous expression of the Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor (MITF) and the POU domain transcription factor BRN2 (POU3F2) has been found in malignant melanoma. Changing expression of these transcription factors as the disease progresses has been linked to the metastatic mechanism of phenotype switching. We therefore investigated the effects of MITF and BRN2 expression in melanoma growth and metastasis. Depletion of MITF resulted in a cell population that had a slowed cell cycle progression, was less invasive in vitro and had hindered tumor and metastasis forming ability in mouse xenograft studies. BRN2 depletion left a cell population with intact proliferation and invasion in vitro; however metastatic growth was significantly reduced in the mouse xenograft model. These results suggest that the proliferative population within melanoma tumors express MITF, and both MITF and BRN2 are important for metastatic growth in vivo. This finding highlights the importance of BRN2 and MITF expression in development of melanoma metastasis.
