Project description:Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) exihibit a high capacity to take up glucose, however, how metabolic cues derived from glucose uptake rewire TAMs remains unclear. Here, we report that glucose metabolism-driven protein O-GlcNAcylation shapes the differentiation of protumoral TAMs, thereby accelerating tumor progression. We constructed O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) conditional-deletion mice to examine MC38 tumor growth.

Project description:Gene transcription is a highly regulated process, and deregulation of transcription factors activity underlie numerous pathologies including cancer. FOXK1 and FOXK2 (FOXK1/2) transcription factors have recently emerged as important regulators of cell metabolism, autophagy and cell differentiation. While FOXK1/2 possesses many overlapping functions in normal biology, their specific functions as well as deregulation of their transcriptional activity in cancer is less clear and often contradictory. FOXK1, but less FOXK2, is known to have oncogenic properties as higher expression levels of FOXK1 has been observed in several cancers and is correlated with tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis. However, the molecular mechanism by which FOXK1 exert its oncogenic properties in caner remains unknown. Here we show that elevated expression of FOXK1, but not FOXK2, in normal human fibroblasts promotes transcription of E2F target genes associated with increased proliferation and delayed senescence entry. Fibroblasts overexpressing FOXK1 are also more prone to cellular transformation with minimal oncogenic combinations, suggesting important oncogenic proprieties of FOXK1. Mechanistically, we found that FOXK1, but not FOXK2, is specifically modified by O-GlcNAcylation. FOXK1 O-GlcNAcylation is modulated during the cell cycle and its highest levels coincides with the G1/S phase transition. Moreover, FOXK1 O-GlcNAcylation is increased following cell transformation and loss of this modification leads to decreased FOXK1 ability to promote cellular transformation and tumor growth. Cells overexpressing FOXK1 O-GlcNAcylation-defective mutants have lower E2F1 expression, cell proliferation, and tumour growth. Our results define a distinct role of FOXK1 via O-GlcNAcylation in controlling the cell cycle through the orchestration of the E2F pathway.

Project description:We report that histone GlcNAcylation of H2B S112 is a vital histone modification which facilitates histone monoubiquitination (ub). In a genome-wide analysis, H2B S112 GlcNAcylation sites were observed widely distributed over entire chromosomes including transcribed gene loci, together with co-localization of H2B S112 GlcNAcylation and K120 ub.

Project description:We report that cellular O-GlcNAcylation levels decline along the course of megakaryocyte (MK) differentiation from human-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and that inhibition of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), of which catalyzes O-GlcNAcylation, prolongedly decreases O-GlcNAcylation and induces megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis. To gain the better insight into the potential mechanisms underlying platelet regulation by O-GlcNAcylation ,we compared the genome-wide transcription profiles of megakaryblastic MEG-01 cells with decreased O-GlcNAcylation (OGTi) and its control counterpart using RNA sequencing. Gene ontology and enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes suggest that platelet formation might be regulated through the perturbation in cell adhesion molecules, i.e. integrin-a4 and b7, downstream of O-GlcNAc/c-Myc axis.

Project description:OGT (O-GlcNAc transferase) is the distinctive enzyme responsible for catalyzing O-GlcNAc to the serine or threonine residues of thousands of cytoplasm and nuclear proteins that are involved in DNA damage, RNA splicing, and transcription preinitiation and initiation complex assembly. However, the molecular mechanism by OGT regulating gene transcription remains elusive. Using proximity labeling based mass spectrometry, we searched for functional partners of OGT and found that Dot1L, the conserved and unique histone methyltransferase mediated histone H3 lys79 methylation required for gene transcription, DNA damage repair, cell proliferation, and embryo development, interacts with OGT. Although this specific interaction does not regulate the enzymatic activity of Dot1L, it facilitates OGT-dependent histones O-GlcNAcylation. Moreover, OGT associates with Dot1L at transcription start sites, and depleting Dot1L decreased OGT associated with chromatin globally. Notably, downregulation of Dot1L reduces the levels of histone H2B S112 O-GlcNAcylation and histone H2B K120 ubiquitination in vivo, which are associated with gene transcription regulation. Taken together, these results reveal a Dot1L-dependent O-GlcNAcylation of chromatin.

Project description:The transcription factor FOXA1, which functions in epigenetic reprogramming, plays a critical role in breast cancer progression. However, the molecular mechanisms by which FOXA1 achieves its oncogenic functions remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the O-GlcNAcylation of FOXA1 increases breast cancer metastasis capacity by orchestrating the transcription of numerous metastasis regulators. O-GlcNAcylation at Thr432, Ser441 and Ser443 regulates the stability of FOXA1 and promotes its assembly with chromatin in breast cancer cells. We provide evidence that O-GlcNAcylation shapes the FOXA1 interactome, especially triggering the recruitment of the transcriptional repressor MECP2 and consequently stimulating FOXA1 chromatin-binding sites to switch to chromatin loci of adhesion-related genes, including EPB41L3 and COL9A2. Site-specific depletion of O-GlcNAcylation on FOXA1 affects the expression of various downstream genes and thus inhibits breast cancer proliferation and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:TET proteins convert 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, an emerging dynamic epigenetic state of DNA that can influence transcription. Evidence has linked TET1 function to epigenetic repression complexes, yet mechanistic information, especially for the TET2 and TET3 proteins, remains limited. Here, we show a direct interaction of TET2 and TET3 with O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). OGT does not appear to influence hmC activity, rather TET2 and TET3 promote OGT activity. TET2/3-OGT co-localize on chromatin at active promoters enriched for H3K4me3 and reduction of either TET2/3 or OGT activity results in a direct decrease in H3K4me3 and concomitant decreased transcription. Further, we show that Host Cell Factor 1 (HCF1), a component of the H3K4 methyltransferase SET1/COMPASS complex, is a specific GlcNAcylation target of TET2/3-OGT, and modification of HCF1 is important for the integrity of SET1/COMPASS. Additionally, we find both TET proteins and OGT activity promote binding of the SET1/COMPASS H3K4 methyltransferase, SETD1A, to chromatin. Finally, studies in Tet2 knockout mouse bone marrow tissue extend and support the data as decreases are observed of global GlcNAcylation and also of H3K4me3, notably at several key regulators of haematopoiesis. Together, our results unveil a step-wise model, involving TET-OGT interactions, promotion of GlcNAcylation, and influence on H3K4me3 via SET1/COMPASS, highlighting a novel means by which TETs may induce transcriptional activation. ChIP-Seq experiments were performed on Illumina HiScanSQ sequencer in wild-type HEK293T cells for H3K4me3 histone marks, O-GlcNAc and HCF1, for HT-TET2, HT-TET3 and HT-OGT in HEK293T cells overexpressing those three fusion proteins and in TET2 Kd HEK293T cells for H3K4me3 histone marks. ChIP-Seqs were also performed in mouse bone marrow tissues for H3K4me3 histone marks, O-GlcNAc, endogenous Tet2 and in Tet2 Ko bone marrow tissues for H3K4me3 histone marks.
