TRPS1 shapes YAP/TEAD-dependent transcription in breast cancer cells

ABSTRACT: Yes-associated protein (YAP), the downstream transducer of the Hippo pathway is a key regulator of organ size, differentiation and tumourigenesis. Yet, the activity of YAP can also be modulated by Hippo-independent functions. To disclose these Hippo-independent regulators, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR screening approach that identified the transcriptional repressor protein Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome 1 (TRPS1) as a potent repressor of YAP-dependent transactivation. Using RNA-Sequencing and ChIP-Sequencing approaches we show that TRPS1 globally regulates YAP-dependent transcription by binding to a large set of joint genomic sites, mainly enhancers. Mechanistically, TRPS1 represses YAP-dependent enhancers function by recruiting a spectrum of corepressor complexes to joint sites. Consequently, loss of TRPS1 leads to activation of enhancers due to increased H3K27 acetylation and an altered promoter-enhancer interaction landscape. TRPS1 is commonly amplified in breast cancer which is associated decreased YAP activity and leads to a decreased frequency of intratumoural immune cells. Consistently, depletion of TRPS1 in the syngeneic 4T1 tumour model leads to a strongly decreased tumour growth in vivo. Our study uncovers TRPS1 as a new epigenetic regulator of YAP activity and it connects repression of YAP-dependent enhancer function to breast cancer.

Project description:Regulation of organ size is important for development and tissue homeostasis. In Drosophila, Hippo signaling controls organ size by regulating the activity of a TEAD transcription factor, Scalloped, through modulation of its coactivator protein Yki. The role of mammalian Tead proteins in growth regulation, however, remains unknown. Here we examined the role of mouse Tead proteins in growth regulation. In NIH3T3 cells, cell density and Hippo signaling regulated the activity of Tead proteins by modulating nuclear localization of a Yki homologue, Yap, and the resulting change in Tead activity altered cell proliferation. Tead2-VP16 mimicked Yap overexpression, including increased cell proliferation, reduced cell death, promotion of EMT, lack of cell contact inhibition, and promotion of tumor formation. Growth promoting activities of various Yap mutants correlated with their Tead-coactivator activities. Tead2-VP16 and Yap regulated largely overlapping sets of genes. However, only a few of the Tead/Yapregulated genes in NIH3T3 cells were affected in Tead1-/-;Tead2-/- or Yap-/- embryos. Most of the previously identified Yap-regulated genes were not affected in NIH3T3 cells or mutant mice. In embryos, levels of nuclear Yap and Tead1 varied depending on cell types. Strong nuclear accumulation of Yap and Tead1 were seen in myocardium, correlating with requirements of Tead1 for proliferation. However, their distribution did not always correlate with proliferation. Taken together, mammalian Tead proteins regulate cell proliferation and contact inhibition as a transcriptional mediator of Hippo signaling, but the mechanisms by which Tead/Yap regulate cell proliferation differ depending on cell types, and Tead, Yap and Hippo signaling may play multiple roles in mouse embryos. We used microarrays to know the gene expression profiles regurated by Tead2-VP16, Tead2-EnR, Yap, and cell density in NIH3T3 cells. Keywords: Cell density, genetic modification Tead2-VP16-, Tead2-EnR-, Yap- and control vector-expressing cells were cultured at low or high density for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
