XIAP promotes metastasis of bladder cancer cells by ubiquitylating YTHDC1

ABSTRACT: X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), a member of the IAP family, is overexpressed in a variety of tumors and plays an important role in tumor progression. Increasing evidence suggests that XIAP promotes metastasis of bladder cancer but the underlying mechanism is not very clear. The RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader YTHDC1 regulates RNA splicing, nuclear transport, and mRNA stability and is a potential tumor target; however, its ubiquitin E3 ligase has not been described. In this study, screening of proteins that specifically interact with XIAP identified YTHDC1 to be its degradation substrate. Ectopic overexpression of XIAP promoted degradation of YTHDC1, and knockout of XIAP upregulated YTHDC1, which inhibited metastasis of bladder cancer. Furthermore, YTHDC1 reduced expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) by destabilizing its mRNA. These experiments revealed that XIAP promotes ubiquitination of YTHDC1, positively regulating expression of MMP-2 and promoting metastasis of bladder cancer. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that XIAP is a critical regulator of YTHDC1 and pinpoint the XIAP/YTHDC1/MMP-2 axis as a promising target for the treatment of bladder cancer.

Project description:Metastatic malignant melanoma is the deadliest skin cancer type, and it is characterized by its high resistance to apoptosis. The main driving mutations in melanoma cause hyperactivation of genes within the ERK pathway, with BRAF mutations being the most frequent ones, followed by NRAS, NF1 and MEK mutations. Increasing evidence shows that the MST2/Hippo pathway is also deregulated in this cancer type. While mutations are rare, MST2/Hippo pathway core proteins expression levels are often dysregulated in melanoma. The expression of the tumour suppressor RASSF1A, a bona fide activator of the pro-apoptotic MST2 pathway, is silenced by promoter methylation in over half of melanomas and correlates with poor prognosis. Here, using mass spectrometry-based interaction proteomics we identified Second Mitochondria-derived Activator of Caspases (SMAC) as a novel LATS1 interactor. We show that RASSF1A-dependent activation of the pro-apoptotic MST2 pathway promotes LATS1-SMAC interaction and negatively regulates the anti-apoptotic signal mediated by the members of the IAP family. Moreover, proteomic experiments identified a common cluster of the apoptotic regulator that bind to SMAC and LATS1. Mechanistic analysis show that the LATS1-SMAC complex promotes XIAP ubiquitination and its subsequent degradation which ultimately results apoptosis. Importantly, we show that the oncogenic BRAFV600E mutant prevents the pro-apoptotic signal mediated by the LAST1-SMAC complex while treatment of melanoma cell lines with BRAF inhibitors promotes this complex, indicating that inhibition of the LATS1-SMAC might be necessary for BRAFV600E-driven melanoma. Finally, we show that LATS1-SMAC interaction is regulated by the SMAC mimetic Birinapant which requires the inhibition of C-IAP1 and the degradation of XIAP, indicating that the MST2/Hippo pathway is part of the mechanism of action of Birinapant. Overall, the current work shows SMAC-dependent apoptosis is regulated by the LATS1 tumour suppressor and supports the idea that LATS1 is a signalling hub that regulates the crosstalk between the MST2 pathway, the apoptotic network and the RAF/ERK pathway.
