Running Title: STUB1 regulates YTHDF1 stability and suppresses tumorigenesis of renal cell carcinomas

ABSTRACT: STIP1 homology and U-box protein 1 (STUB1), a key RING family E3 ubiquitin ligase, plays both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive roles in a variety of human cancers. However, the role and mechanism of STUB1 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains poorly defined. Here, we identified YTHDF1 as a novel STUB1 interactor by affinity purification mass spectrometry (AP-MS). STUB1 polyubiquitylates YTHDF1 and promotes YTHDF1 degradation. STUB1 depletion stabilizes YTHDF1 in renal cancer cells. STUB1-knockdown renal cancer cells exhibit increased migration and invasion in YTHDF1 dependent manner. Further study demonstrates that STUB1 knockdown promoted the tumorigenicity of ccRCC in a xenograft model. Clinically, STUB1 expression is down-regulated in ccRCC tissues, and the low expression level of STUB1 was associated with higher tumor stage and poor overall survival in patients with ccRCC. These findings reveal that STUB1 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and promotes degradation of YTHDF1, and STUB1 inhibits the tumorigenicity of ccRCC through ubiquitinating YTHDF1.

Loss of VHL-mediated pRb regulation promotes clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Project description:The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor is a substrate-defining component of E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that target cellular substrates for proteasome-mediated degradation. VHL inactivation by mutation or transcriptional silencing is observed in most sporadic cases of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). VHL loss in ccRCC leads to constitutive stabilization of E3 ligase substrates, including hypoxia inducible factor α (HIFα). HIFα stabilization upon VHL loss is known to contribute to ccRCC development through transactivation of hypoxia-responsive genes. HIF-independent VHL targets have been implicated in oncogenesis, although those mechanisms are less well-defined than for HIFα. Using proximity labeling to identify proteasomal-sensitive VHL interactors, we identified retinoblastoma protein (pRb) as a novel substrate of VHL. Mechanistically, VHL interacts with pRb in a proteasomal-sensitive manner, promoting its ubiquitin-mediated degradation. Concordantly, VHL-inactivation results in pRb hyperstabilization. Functionally, loss of pRb in ccRCC led to increased cell death, transcriptional changes, and loss of oncogenic properties in vitro and in vivo. We also show that downstream transcriptional changes induced by pRb hyperstabilization may contribute to ccRCC tumor development. Together, our findings reveal a novel VHL-related pathway which can be therapeutically targeted to inhibit ccRCC tumor development.

Identification of the RNAs that bind with MDM2 by high-throughput RIP-seq in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells

Project description:The E3 ligase MDM2 promotes tumor growth and progression by inducing ubiquitin-mediated degradation of P53 and other tumor suppressing proteins. Here, we identified an MDM2-interacting lncRNA NRON, which promotes tumor formation by suppressing both P53-dependent and independent pathways. NRON binds to MDM2 and MDMX (MDM4) via two different stem-loops respectively and induces their heterogenous dimerization, thereby enhancing the E3 ligase activity of MDM2 towards its tumor suppressing substrates, including P53, RBI and NFATI, etc.

DRAIC mediates hnRNPA2B1 stability and m6A-modified IGF1R instability to inhibit tumor progression

Project description:Both N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mediates RNA fates and ubiquitin mediates protein fates play an important role in either physiology or pathology including cancer, yet how long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in a link of molecular fate between m6A and ubiquitin remains unknown. Here, we reveal a role for a lncRNA Downregulated RNA in Cancer (DRAIC) to suppress tumor growth and metastasis in clear cell Renal Carcinoma (ccRCC). Mechanistically, DRAIC physically interacts with heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (hnRNPA2B1) and enhances its protein stability by blocking E3 ligase F-box protein 11 (FBXO11)-mediated ubiquitin and proteasome-dependent degradation. Subsequently, hnRNPA2B1 destabilizes m6A modified-type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) to lead to inhibition of ccRCC progression. Moreover, four m6A modification sites of IGF1R are identified and results in its mRNA degradation. Collectively, our findings reveal that DRAIC/hnRNPA2B1 axis regulates IGF1R mRNA expression in an m6A-dependent manner and highlights an important mechanism of IGF1R fate. These findings shed light on DRAIC/hnRNPA2B1/FBXO11/IGF1R axis as potential therapeutic targets in ccRCC and build a link of molecular fate between m6A-modified RNA and ubiquitin-modified protein.

USP5 stabilizes YTHDF1 to control cancer immune surveillance through mTORC1-mediated phosphorylation

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) binding protein YTHDF1 emerges as a frequently upregulated oncogene across various cancer types. Its depletion significantly improves the efficacy of cancer immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment. A comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing YTHDF1 protein stability is pivotal for enhancing clinical response rates and the effectiveness of ICB in cancer patients. Here, we report that USP5 interacts with YTHDF1, removing K11-linked polyubiquitination on multiple lysine residues to stabilize YTHDF1, thereby conferring its oncogenic properties. In response to insulin, mTORC1 phosphorylates USP5 at S149, promoting its dimerization. Dimerized USP5 then binds to YTHDF1, preventing its degradation. Conversely, the CUL7-FBXW8 E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes K11-linked polyubiquitination and degradation of YTHDF1. USP5 and FBXW8 thus regulate YTHDF1 ubiquitylation at defined residues through mutually exclusive interactions and opposing activities. Furthermore, deficiency in YTHDF1 or USP5 enhances PD-L1 expression and compromises the expression of multiple immune response-related genes, fostering cancer immune evasion. Remarkably, combining USP5 inhibitor treatment with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy reprograms the antitumor T-cell immunity environment, leading to enhanced tumor regression and markedly improved overall survival rates in mouse tumor models. Therefore, in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer patients, USP5 may serve as a promising biomarker for stratifying individuals for anti-PD-1 therapy. Our findings reveal a ubiquitination-dependent regulation of YTHDF1 protein stability influencing immune response gene expression, suggesting USP5 inhibition combined with PD-(L)1 blockade as a novel and promising strategy for cancer treatment.

Next Generation Sequencing of 786-O-Ctrl and786-O-VHL Transcriptomes

Project description:Inactivation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is critical to clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) and VHL syndrome. VHL loss leads to stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor α (HIFα) and other substrate proteins, which may drive various tumor-promoting pathways. This process is likely reversible, because even in the highly aggressive human VHL-deficient ccRCC cell line 786-O, restoring VHL expression almost completely abolishes orthotopic tumor formation in immuno-deficient mice. This result highlights the potential of treating ccRCC by re-expressing VHL with gene therapy. However, there is inadequate understanding of the consequence of VHL restoration at the molecular level. Here, we reinstalled VHL expression in 786-O and performed transcriptome, proteome and ubiquitome profiling to assess the molecular impact.

VHL Substrate Transcription Factor ZHX2 As An Oncogenic Driver In Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase protein is a hallmark of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Identifying how pathways affected by VHL loss contribute to ccRCC remains challenging. We used a genome-wide in vitro expression strategy to identify proteins that bound VHL only when hydroxylated. Zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2) was found as a VHL target and its hydroxylation allowed VHL to regulate its protein stability. Tumor cells from ccRCC patients with VHL loss-of-function mutations usually had increased ZHX2 amount and nuclear localization. Functionally, depletion of ZHX2 inhibited VHL-deficient ccRCC cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, integrated ChIP-Seq and microarray analysis showed that ZHX2 promoted NF-kB activation. These studies reveal ZHX2 as a potential therapeutic target for ccRCC.

USP13 Promotes Deubiquitination of ZHX2 and Tumorigenesis in Kidney Cancer

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by loss of tumor suppressor Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) function. VHL is the component of E3 ligase complex that promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia inducible factor alpha (including HIF1alpha and HIF2alpha) and Zinc Fingers And Homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2). Our recent research showed that ZHX2 contributed to ccRCC tumorigenesis in a HIF independent manner. However, it remains unknown whether ZHX2 can be regulated through deubiquitination. Here we performed a deubiquitinase (DUB) cDNA library binding screen and identified USP13 as a novel DUB that bound ZHX2 and promoted ZHX2 deubiquitination. As a result, USP13 promoted ZHX2 protein stability in an enzymatically dependent manner and depletion of USP13 led to ZHX2 downregulation in ccRCC. Functionally, USP13 depletion led to decreased cell proliferation measured by 2-D colony formation and 3-D anchorage independent growth. USP was a critical effector on maintaining kidney tumorigenesis in an orthotopic xenograft model and its depletion led to both decreased primary kidney tumorigenesis and spontaneous lung metastasis. Our results suggest that USP13 is a potential new therapeutic target in ccRCC.

VHL acts as an adaptor to promote the phosphorylation of FTO by CK2 to suppress clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Project description:Inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase protein is a hallmark feature of ccRCC, a clear cell renal cell carcinoma. However, elucidating how VHL loss drives ccRCC pathogenesis remains challenging. As the most abundant posttranscriptional modification of mRNA in eukaryotes, N6-methyladenine (m6A) is involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of mRNA molecules and has been found to play an important role in the biological process of tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Here, we show that VHL has a protein interaction with the m6A demethylase FTO, but does not perform the classical function of targeting FTO for ubiquitination degradation. Rather, VHL acts as an adapter that promotes CK2 phosphorylation of FTO, thereby regulating the enzymatic activity of FTO. MeRIP-Seq and RNA-seq sequencing analyses identified EGR1 as one of the FTO targets for VHL-deficient ccRCC cell survival. Mechanistically, FTO in ccRCC decreases the m6A level of EGR1 and inhibits EGR1 and P53 protein levels, thereby promoting ccRCC proliferation. In summary, our study identified FTO as a potential non-hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) classical substrate of VHL, highlighted the critical role of FTO in regulating m6A levels in ccRCC progression, and identified the CK2-FTO-EGR1-P53 regulatory axis as a potential target for the treatment of VHL-deficient ccRCC.
