Project description:Protein synthesis-targeting agents against eIF4A activity, including rocaglates, are actively pursued as anticancer and antiviral therapies. Yet, their full effect on the translational landscape is unknown, especially with regards to up-regulated proteins and drug-activated translation factors that mediate rocaglates’ remarkable anticancer potency. Here, we investigated rocaglate-driven global translational remodeling in cancer cells. Proteomic translatome analysis by TMT-pulse-SILAC revealed an extensive repertoire of rocaglate-inducible proteins that regulate hitherto unrecognized mechanisms of cytotoxicity. As proof-of-concept, we show that GEF-H1 induction activates anti-survival RHOA/JNK signaling. Intriguingly, rocaglate responses persist in eIF4A-depleted cells. Global MATRIX survey of translation machinery adaptations to rocaglates revealed augmented translational activities of the general translation factor eEF1ε1, and the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX17, which drive rocaglate-specific protein induction and drug response. This original unbiased proteomic interrogation of rocaglate-driven translational reprogramming transforms the current definition of rocaglates as one-dimensional eIF4A inhibitors to comprehensive remodelers of the protein synthesis landscape.

Project description:c-MYC (MYC) overexpression or hyperactivation is one of the most common drivers of human cancer. Despite intensive study, the MYC oncogene remains recalcitrant to therapeutic inhibition. Like other classic oncogenes, hyperactivation of MYC leads to collateral stresses onto cancer cells, suggesting that tumors harbor unique vulnerabilities arising from oncogenic activation of MYC. Herein, we discover the spliceosome as a new target of oncogenic stress in MYC-driven cancers. We identify BUD31 as a MYC-synthetic lethal gene, and demonstrate that BUD31 is a splicing factor required for the assembly and catalytic activity of the spliceosome. Core spliceosomal factors (SF3B1, U2AF1, and others) associate with BUD31 and are also required to tolerate oncogenic MYC. Notably, MYC hyperactivation induces an increase in total pre-mRNA synthesis, suggesting an increased burden on the core spliceosome to process pre-mRNA. In contrast to normal cells, partial inhibition of the spliceosome in MYC-hyperactivated cells leads to global intron retention, widespread defects in pre-mRNA maturation, and deregulation of many essential cell processes. Importantly, genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of the spliceosome in vivo impairs survival, tumorigenicity, and metastatic proclivity of MYC-dependent breast cancers. Collectively, these data suggest that oncogenic MYC confers a collateral stress on splicing and that components of the spliceosome may be therapeutic entry points for aggressive MYC-driven cancers.

Project description:Recent studies have highlighted the oncogenic roles of KDM5A; however, its molecular mechanism has not been fully delineated. Here we identifies KDM5A as a transcriptional activator of MYC target genes in multiple myeloma (MM). Genetic ablation of KDM5A or pharmacologic inhibition of KDM5 by novel inhibitor JQKD82 impairs MM cell growth. Gene expression profile reveals that JQKD82 decreases expression of MYC targets. Expression of MYC targets is similarly downregulated by KDM5A depletion, but little affected by KDM5B knockdown. Mechanistically, KDM5A co-localizes with MYC across the genome, and KDM5A and MYC coordinately promote MYC target gene transcription. The treatment with JQKD82 reduces phosphorylation level of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII), resulting in RNAPII pausing, accompanied by hyper-H3K4me3 status at the MYC loci. Finally, we shows that JQKD82 exerts anti-MM activity and prolongs overall survival in vivo mouse xenograft models. Our results delineate KDM5A function that reinforces MYC transcriptional program, and identify KDM5A as a potential therapeutic target in MM.

Project description:Myc is an oncogenic transcription factor frequently dysregulated in human cancer. To identify pathways supporting the Myc oncogenic program, we employed a genome-wide RNAi screen for Myc-synthetic-lethal (MySL) genes and uncovered a role for the SUMO-activating-enzyme (SAE1/2). Loss of SAE1/2 enzymatic activity drives synthetic lethality with Myc. Mechanistically, SAE2 inhibition switches a transcriptional subprogram of Myc from activated to repressed. A subset of these SUMOylation-dependent Myc-switchers (SMS genes) governs mitotic spindle function and is required to support the Myc oncogenic program. comparison of 4 treatments: normal HMEC, High Myc in HMEC, SUMO depleted in HMEC, High Myc+Sumo Depleted in HMEC

Project description:Splicing is a central RNA-based process commonly altered in human cancers; however, how the splicing machinery is co-opted during tumorigenesis remains largely unresolved. Here we identify the splice factor SF3A3 at the nexus of an oncogenic translation program that rewires splicing to promote tumorigenesis. Our results suggest that key spliceosomal networks centered on the essential core U2-associated factor, SF3A3, are exquisitely controlled at the translation level during oncogenic stress. Upon oncogene activation, SF3A3 translation is rapidly enabled via a conserved internal stem-loop structure embedded in the transcript 5’ untranslated region (UTR). Uncoupled SF3A3 translation leads to alternative splicing of several mRNAs involved in mitochondrial dynamics, and induces a metabolic switch that fuels cancer initiation properties in MYC-driven breast tumorigenesis in vivo. Finally, we compelling show that SF3A3 is post-transcriptionally altered and predicts for poor prognosis in aggressive triple negative breast cancers. Together, these findings unveil a highly dynamic regulatory network that interfaces mRNA splicing and translation to orchestrate cancer gene expression networks.

Project description:Recurrent chromosomal translocations are central to the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM), with t(4;14) translocation being the second-most common and associated with poor prognosis. The nuclear receptor-binding SET domain 2 (NSD2) is overexpressed as a result of the translocation and has been suggested to be the primary oncogenic factor in t(4;14) MM. However, the detailed oncogenic mechanism of NSD2 in MM is still not completely understood. To address the relevant pathways downstream of NSD2 that contributes to myelomagenesis, SILAC-based mass-spectrometry analysis was used to determine NSD2-interacting proteins. We identified 74 proteins and in silico analysis showed that one of them, SMARCA2, interacts with NSD2. Comparison of SMARCA2 expression across MM cell lines with different translocation statuses showed that SMARCA2 was highly expressed in t(4;14) MM cells but not in non-t(4;14) MM cells. SMARCA2 knockdown in t(4;14) MM cells showed reduced cell growth and capacity to form colonies. We further investigated how NSD2 and SMARCA2 regulate the expressions of key myeloma genes, such as PRL3 and CCND1. This study reveals a spectrum of NSD2-interacting proteins involved in different biological pathways, indicating the importance of NSD2 in t(4;14) MM. The interaction between NSD2 and SMARCA2 in regulating the expression of CCND1 and PRL3 suggests the potential of SMARCA2 as a novel therapeutic target for t(4;14) MM.
