An ErbB2/c-Src axis drives mammary tumorigenesis through metabolically directed translational regulation of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 [array]

ABSTRACT: Perturbations in histone modifications alter transcription and promote carcinogenesis. Breast cancers frequently overexpress the histone methyltransferase EZH2, the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2). However, the mechanisms driving EZH2 overexpression are obscure and elucidating the role of PRC2 in breast cancer, which is highly heterogeneous, is challenging given its context-dependent oncogenic and tumor suppressive functions. Here, using genetically engineered mouse, PDX and cell line models, we show that the tyrosine kinase c-Src links energy sufficiency with PRC2 subunit overexpression via control of mRNA translation. In breast cancers initiated by the oncogene ErbB2, c-Src stimulates mitochondrial ATP production to suppress energy stress and permit sustained activation of the mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), which increases the translation of mRNAs encoding the PRC2 subunits Ezh2 and Suz12. We show that Ezh2 overexpression and activity are pivotal in ErbB2-mediated mammary tumorigenesis. These results reveal the hitherto unknown c-Src/mTORC1/PRC2 axis, which is essential for ErbB2-driven carcinogenesis.

Deep sequencing of GSK-126 treated HER2+ PDX tumours

Project description:Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase ERBB2/HER2, such as Trastuzumab, are the standard of care therapy for breast cancers driven by ERBB2 overexpression and activation. However, a substantial proportion of patients exhibits de novo resistance. Here, by comparing matched Trastuzumab-naïve and post-treatment patient samples from a neoadjuvant trial, we link resistance with elevation of H3K27me3, a repressive histone modification catalyzed by Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2). In ErbB2+ breast cancer models, PRC2 silences endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) to suppress anti-tumor Type-I interferon (IFN) responses. In patients, elevated H3K27me3 in tumor cells following Trastuzumab treatment correlates with suppression of IFN-driven viral defense gene expression signatures and poor response. Using an immunocompetent model, we provide evidence that EZH2 inhibitors promote IFN-driven immune responses that enhance the efficacy of anti-ErbB2 mAbs, suggesting the potential clinical benefit of epigenomic reprogramming by H3K27me3 depletion in Trastuzumab-resistant disease.

Affinify Purification of EZH2 and phosphodeficient EZH2 identifies phosphorylation dependent interactions of EZH2

Project description:Overexpression of EZH2 in estrogen receptor negative (ER-) breast cancer promotes metastasis. EZH2 has been mainly studied as the catalytic component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) that mediates gene repression by trimethylating histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3). However, how EZH2 drives metastasis despite the low H3K27me3 levels observed in ER- breast cancer is unknown. We have shown that in human invasive carcinomas and distant metastases, cytoplasmic EZH2 phosphorylated at T367 is significantly associated with ER- disease and low H3K27me3 levels. Here, we explore the interactome of EZH2 and of a phosphodeficient mutant EZH2_T367A. We identified novel interactors of EZH2, and identified interactions that are dependent on the phosphorylation and cellular localization of EZH2 that may play a role in EZH2 dependent metastatic progression.

GPIF constrains Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 activity in germ cells

Project description:The project aimed at identifying the cofactors regulating Polycomb complex PRC2 enzymatic activity in gonads. We used a knock-in mouse model where the enzymatic subunit of PRC2 (either EZH2 or EZH1) is tagged (Flag-tag) to purify PRC2 from mouse adult testis. This experiment revealed the existence of a new cofactor for PRC2 that we called GPIF (AU022751).

Chromatin immunoprecipitation of estrogen receptor in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) treated with estrogen

Project description:Cross talk between the Estrogen Receptor (ER) and ErbB2/HER-2 pathways have long been implicated in breast cancer aetiology and drug response1, yet no direct connection at a transcriptional level has been shown. We now show that estrogen-ER and tamoxifen-ER complexes directly repress ErbB2 transcription via a cis-regulatory element within the ERBB2 gene. We implicate the Paired Box 2 gene product (Pax2), in a novel role, as a crucial mediator of ER repression of ErbB2 by the anti-cancer drug tamoxifen. We show that Pax2 and the ER co-activator AIB-1/SRC-3 compete for binding and regulation of ErbB2 transcription, the outcome of which determines tamoxifen response in breast cancer cells. The repression of ErbB2 by ER-Pax2 links these two important breast cancer subtypes and suggests that aggressive ErbB2 positive tumours can originate from ER positive luminal tumours by circumventing this repressive mechanism. These data provide mechanistic insight into the molecular basis of endocrine resistance in breast cancer.

Genome-wide profiling analysis reveals annexin A6 is a novel EZH2 target gene involving gastric cellular proliferation

Project description:Polycomb repressive complexes (PRC) play a critical role during tumorigenesis and development. The histone methyltransferase Enhancer of Zeste homologue 2 (EZH2), as a core component of PRC2, is frequently overexpressed in a wide variety of cancers. EZH2-mediated gene silencing contributes to carcinogenesis. To further the understanding of the EZH2 biology in gastric cancer, here we performed transcriptome analyses and identified EZH2-responsive genes upon EZH2 knockdown by RNA-seq.
