Tumor hypoxia causes DNA hypermethylation by reducing TET activity (TAB-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor gene (TSG) promoters confers growth advantages to cancer cells, but how these changes arise is poorly understood. Here, we report that tumor hypoxia reduces the activity of oxygen-dependent TET enzymes, which catalyze DNA de-methylation through 5-methylcytosine oxidation. This occurs independently of hypoxia-associated alterations in TET gene expression, basal metabolism, HIF activity or nuclear reactive oxygen species, but directly depends on oxygen shortage. Hypoxia-induced loss of TET activity increases hypermethylation at gene promoters in vitro, while also in patients, gene promoters are markedly more methylated in hypoxic than normoxic tumors. Affected genes are frequently involved in DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, angiogenesis and metastasis, indicating cellular selection of hypermethylation events. Overall, up to 50% of the tumor-associated hypermethylation is ascribable to hypoxia across various cancer types. Accordingly, spontaneous murine breast tumors become hypermethylated when rendered hypoxic through vessel pruning, whereas vessel normalisation rescues this effect. Tumor hypoxia thus acts as a novel regulator underlying DNA methylation.

Tumor hypoxia causes DNA hypermethylation by reducing TET activity (BeadChip)

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normoxic and hypoxic non-small-cell lung cancer samples for 5mC and 5hmC. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation profiles across 485,512 CpGs from DNA extracted from fresh-frozen tumor samples. Samples included 12 hypoxic and 12 normoxic tumor samples, with hypoxia determined according to the hypoxia metagene score (Buffa et al, Br J Cancer 2010). To profile hydroxymethylation, 5hmC was glycosylated and 5mC was oxidised as described by Yu and colleagues (Nat Protoc 2012), and hydroxymethylation and methylation were differentially profiled according to the Nazor and colleagues (Genomics 2014). Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor gene (TSG) promoters confers growth advantages to cancer cells, but how these changes arise is poorly understood. Here, we report that tumor hypoxia reduces the activity of oxygen-dependent TET enzymes, which catalyze DNA de-methylation through 5-methylcytosine oxidation.

Hypoxia-induced proteomic remodeling of human mammary cancer associated fibroblast

Project description:Intratumoral hypoxia causes the formation of dysfunctional blood vessels which contribute to tumor metastasis. Blood vessels are embedded in the tumor stroma where cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent cellular component. We found that hypoxic human mammary CAFs promote blood vessel growth in CAF-endothelial cell co-cultures in vitro. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of CAF secretome unravels how hypoxic CAFs contribute to blood vessel abnormalities by altering the secretion of a multitude of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induces pronounced remodeling of the CAF proteome, including proteins that have not been previously related to this process. Our study provides a map of unprecedented depth of hypoxia-induced molecular alterations in mammary CAFs that can be exploited to identify novel mechanisms that control hypoxic CAF functions.

Hypoxia-induced proteomic remodeling of human mammary cancer associated fibroblast - siRNA NCBP2-AS2

Project description:Intratumoral hypoxia causes the formation of dysfunctional blood vessels which contribute to tumor metastasis. Blood vessels are embedded in the tumor stroma where cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent cellular component. We found that hypoxic human mammary CAFs promote blood vessel growth in CAF-endothelial cell co-cultures in vitro. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of CAF secretome unravels how hypoxic CAFs contribute to blood vessel abnormalities by altering the secretion of a multitude of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induces pronounced remodeling of the CAF proteome, including proteins that have not been previously related to this process. Amongst those, the uncharacterized antisense gene protein NCBP2-AS2 is one of the most transcriptionally upregulated proteins in the proteome and secretome of hypoxic CAFs. Silencing of NCBP2-AS2 abrogates the pro-angiogenic function acquired by hypoxic CAFs through decreasing VEGF expression levels to the levels found in normoxic CAFs.

Relief of hypoxia by angiogenesis promotes neural stem cell differentiation by targeting glycolysis

Project description:The neural stem cell (NSC) niche controls the expansion and differentiation of NSCs. Blood vessels are part of this neurogenic niche, but their functional significance for the regulation of NSC differentiation and the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here, we report that blood vessel formation in the developing mouse and ferret cortex coincided with induction of NSC differentiation in time and space. Moreover, selective inhibition of brain angiogenesis in vessel-specific Gpr124 null embryos caused hypoxia and increased NSC expansion at the expense of differentiation. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1Îą mediated this process, as the level of HIF-1Îą controlled NSC differentiation. Niche blood vessels regulated NSC differentiation at least in part by providing oxygen, as exposure to increased ambient oxygen levels rescued NSC differentiation in hypoxic brains of Gpr124 deficient embryos. Our findings establish a novel oxygen-dependent mechanism of how blood vessels regulate NSC differentiation.

Hypoxia-responsive gene expression profile of U87 MG glioblastoma cells and their exosomes.

Project description:How cancer cells adapt to hypoxia during tumor development remains an important question. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that tumor cell-derived exosome vesicles (also known as microvesicles or extracellular vesicles) are mediators of hypoxia-dependent intercellular signaling in glioblastoma (GBM), i.e. highly aggressive brain tumors characterized by hypoxia and a vascular density that is among the highest of all human malignancies. In vitro hypoxia experiments and studies with patient materials reveal the enrichment in exosomes of hypoxia-regulated mRNAs and proteins, several of which were associated with poor patient prognosis. We show that cancer cell exosomes mediate hypoxia-dependent, phenotypic modulation of stromal cells in vitro and ex vivo, resulting in accelerated GBM tumor angiogenesis and growth in mice. These data suggest that exosomes constitute potent mediators of hypoxia-driven tumor development, and circulating multiparameter biomarkers of tumor hypoxia. U87 MG glioblastoma cells were grown at normoxic (21% oxygen) or hypoxic (1% oxygen) conditions for 48 hours. Conditioned media from normoxic and hypoxic cells were then used to isolate exosomes by differential centrifugation. Both cells and exosomes were lysed in Trizol reagent, and RNA was isolated.Total RNA from all samples (four types of samples in three biological repilicates) was subjected to genome-wide transcriptional analysis with Illumina HumanHT-12 V3.0 expression beadchip. Gene expression profile obtained from hypoxic U87 MG glioblastoma cells was compared to the profile of normoxic control cells. Analogically, gene expression profile obtained from hypoxic U87 MG cells was compared to the profile of exosomes secreted by normoxic U87 MG cells.
