Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor among adults, which is characterized by high invasion, migration and proliferation abilities. One important process that contributes to the invasiveness of GBM is the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is regulated by a set of defined transcription factors which tightly regulate this process, among them is the basic helix-loop-helix family member, TWIST1. Here we show that TWIST1 is methylated on lysine-33 at chromatin by SETD6, a methyltransferase with expression levels correlating with poor survival in GBM patients. RNA-seq analysis in U251 GBM cells suggested that both SETD6 and TWIST1 regulate cell adhesion and migration processes. We further show that TWIST1 methylation attenuates the expression of the long-non-coding RNA, LINC-PINT, thereby suppressing EMT in GBM. Mechanistically, TWIST1 methylation represses the transcription of LINC-PINT by increasing the occupancy of EZH2 and the catalysis of the repressive H3K27me3 mark at the LINC-PINT locus. Under un-methylated conditions, TWIST1 dissociates from the LINC-PINT locus, allowing the expression of LINC-PINT which leads to increased cell adhesion and decreased cell migration. Together, our findings unravel a new mechanistic dimension for selective expression of LINC-PINT mediated by TWIST1 methylation.

Project description:Using a TWIST1-inducible epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) model in HMLE cells, miRNA changes were profiled at different time points during an active EMT. This experiment includes a total of 12 samples consisting of 2 experimental groups at 2 matching time points (day 4, day 12), each with 3 biological repeats: 3 control empty vector samples as controls and 3 inducible TWIST1 samples as the experimental condition.

Project description:Twist1 is a transcription factor that induces EMT and drives metastasis in prostate cancer. We examined global gene expression in Myc-CaP mouse prostate cancer cells following overexpression of Twist1 and the Twist1 mutants F191G, AQA, and DQD. 15 total samples were analysed, with 3 replicates of 5 groups: Twist1-WT, Twist1-AQA, Twist1-DQD, Twist1-F191G, and vector control. We performed the comparisons: WT > VEC, F191G > VEC. Samples were normalized by Twist1 expression in addition to normal

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. NSCLC has significant metastasis ability, which is reported to be promoted by the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The total flavonoid aglycone extract (TFAE) isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis was reported to inhibit tumor growth and induce cell apoptosis. Here we reconstructed TFAE (reTFAE) according to the main active components and revealed new mechanism in inhibiting EMT process of lung cancer. We provided the solid evidence that the compound mainly composed of baicalein, wogonin, and oroxylin-A presented inhibitory effect on the EMT process of A549 cells, and established the relationship between reTFAE, PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, TWIST1, and glycolysis pathway. The new mechanism we revealed and the new combination of research technologies including bioinformatics technology, chemical biology and molecular biology in our manuscript may be of tremendous interest to a broad range of academic, clinic and industrial researchers.

Project description:Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important mechanism of metastasis and malignant progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the transcriptional regulation mechanism of EMT remains poorly understood. Some transcriptional co-activators can form phase-separated condensates at super-enhancers that compartmentalize and concentrate the transcription apparatus to drive robust gene expression. Here, we demonstrate that Twist1 and YY1, interact with p300 and form phase-separated local high-concentration interaction hubs at super-enhancers of miRNA-9 and activate its expression to induce EMT and promote the malignant evolution of HCC. Phase separation disrupted by metformin perturbs Twist–YY1 condensates, thereby inhibiting EMT. To explore how the Twist1 complex regulates miR-9 expression by binding SE region, we performed Twist1 ChIP-seq combined with H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K27ac, DNAse, p300, and YY1 ChIP-seq data to detect the SEs of miR-9. After metformin treatment, the peak of Twist1/YY1 on miR-9 SE decreased. Metformin specifically affects the binding of Twist1/YY1 to the miR-9 SE region. 1,6-hexanediol, as an aliphatic alcohol, can weaken hydrophobic interactions and inhibit liquid–liquid phase separation by disrupting hydrophobic interactions. In order to prove Twist1/YY1 interaction at these sites requires phase separation, we detect the accessibility of miR-9 SE regions in 1,6-hexanediol-treated cells. The result showed a general decrease in the accessibility of miR-9 super-enhancer regions in 1,6-hexanediol-treated cells and Twist1 / YY1 combines the SE region of miR-9 in the form of phase separation.

Project description:Purpose: to characterize epigenetic changes following Twist1 mediated Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in human Methods: we characterized the epigenetic and transcriptome landscapes using whole genome transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq, DNA methylation by digital restriction enzyme analysis of methylation (DREAM) and histone modifications by CHIP-seq of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells relative to cells induced to undergo EMT by Twist1. Results: EMT is accompanied by focal hypermethylation and widespread global DNA hypomethylation, predominantly within transcriptionally repressed gene bodies. At the chromatin level, the number of gene promoters marked by H3K4me3 increases by more than one fifth; H3K27me3 undergoes dynamic genomic redistribution characterized by loss at half of gene promoters and overall reduction of peak size by almost one-half. This is paralleled by increased phosphorylation of EZH2 at serine 21. Among genes with highly altered mRNA expression, 23.1% switch between H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 marks, and those point to the master EMT targets and regulators CDH1, PDGFRA and ESRP1. Strikingly, Twist1 increases the number of bivalent genes by more than two fold. Inhibition of the H3K27 methyltransferases EZH2 and EZH1, which form part of the PRC2 complex, results in blocking EMT and stemness properties. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that the EMT program requires epigenetic remodeling by the Polycomb/Trithorax complexes leading to increased cellular plasticity which suggests that its inhibition will prevent EMT, and the associated breast cancer metastasis. RNAseq profiles of human mammary epithelial cells before (HMLE_parental) and after Twist1 transfection (HMLE_Twist) were generated in monolayer (HMLE_Twist2D) and sphere culture by deep sequencing using SOLID
