Project description:Background: N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is, a more common epigenetic modification in addition to m6A modification, mainly found in mRNA capsids, mRNA interiors, transfer RNA (tRNA), pri-miRNA, and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It has been found that m7G modifications play an important role in mRNA transcription, tRNA stability, rRNA processing maturation, and miRNA biosynthesis. However, the role of m7G modifications within mRNA and its “writer” methyltransferase 1(METTL1) in tumors, particularly prostate cancer (PCa), has not been revealed. Methods： The differential expression level of METTL1 between hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) and castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) was evaluated via RNA-seq and in vitro experiments. The effects of METTL1 on CRPC progression were investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays. The upstream molecular mechanism of METTL1 expression upregulation and the downstream mechanism of its action were explored via Chromatin Immunoprecipitation quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (CHIP-qPCR), Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), luciferase reporter assay, transcriptome-sequencing, m7G AlkAniline-Seq, and mRNA degradation experiments, etc. Results and conclusion： Here, we found that METTL1 was elevated in CRPC and that patients with METTL1 elevation tended to have a poor prognosis. Functionally, the knockdown of METTL1 in CRPC cells significantly limited cell proliferation and invasive capacity. Mechanistically, we unveiled that P300 can form a complex with SP1 and bind to the promoter region of the METTL1 gene via SP1, thereby mediating METTL1 transcriptional upregulation in CRPC. Subsequently, our findings indicated that METTL1 leads to enhanced mRNA stability of CDK14 by adding m7G modifications inside its mRNA, ultimately promoting CRPC progression.

Project description:N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification is one of the most prevalent tRNA modifications in human. The precise function and molecular mechanism of m7G tRNA modification in regulation of cancer remain poorly understood. Here we showed that m7G tRNA modification, METTL1 and WDR4 are elevated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and associated with HCC patient prognosis. Functionally, silencing METTL1 or WDR4 inhibits HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while forced expression of wild type METTL1 but not its catalytic dead mutant promotes HCC progression. Knockdown of METTL1 reduces m7G tRNA modification and decreases m7G modified tRNA expression. Mechanistically, METTL1 depletion selectively decreases the mRNA translation of a subset of oncogenic genes, especially cell cycle and EGFR pathway genes, in m7G-related codon dependent manner. Moreover, in vivo studies using Mettl1 knock-in and knockout mice reveal a critical function of Mettl1 mediated m7G tRNA modifications in promoting hepatocarcinogenesis in the hydrodynamics transfection HCC model. Our work uncovers the critical functions of tRNA m7G modification in regulating cancer mRNA translation and promoting hepatocarcinogenesis, thus provides new insights into role of the mis-regulated tRNA modifications in cancers.

Project description:The RNA methyltransferase METTL1 catalyzes the N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification of certain tRNAs, mRNAs, and miRNA precursors. However, the role of METTL1 and its cofactor WDR4 in cancer remains largely unexplored. Here we reveal the oncogenic role of METTL1/WDR4. METTL1 is frequently amplified and overexpressed in cancers and correlates with poor patient survival. METTL1 depletion in human cancer cells causes decreased abundance of m7G-modified tRNAs, altered cell cycle, and inhibits oncogenicity. Strikingly, METTL1/WDR4 overexpression induces oncogenic transformation and carcinogenesis. Mechanistically, we find increased abundance of a subset of m7G-modified tRNAs including tRNA-Arg(TCT), and increased translation of mRNAs enriched in the corresponding AGA codon including cell cycle regulators. Accordingly, expression of tRNA-Arg(TCT) is significantly elevated in many cancer types, correlates with patient survival, and overexpression of this tRNA enhances reporter gene expression and cell transformation. Thus, METTL1/WDR4-mediated m7G tRNA modification drives oncogenic transformation, thereby highlighting METTL1 as a promising cancer therapeutic target.

Project description:We generated and characterized an androgen-independent LNCaP-AI cell line by long-term culture of androgen-dependent LNCaP cells in RPMI-1640 medium containing charcoal-stripped serum. This approach used to generate the line mimics the castration resistant condition for treating prostate cancer, supporting the relevance of the LNCAP-AI cell line to Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Project description:Methylation of N7-methylguanosine (m7G) is found at mRNA caps and at defined internal positions within abundant tRNAs and rRNAs. However, its detection within low abundance mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) has been hampered by lack of sensitive detection strategies. Here, we adapt a chemical reactivity assay to detect internal m7G in RNA from eukaryotic cells. Using this approach, alongside a confirmational RNA immunoprecipitation assay, we identify m7G within miRNAs inhibiting cell migration, and show that METTL1 mediates this m7G methylation. Using Let-7 as an example we demonstrate that METTL1 activity is necessary for correct processing, is required for Let-7 dependent gene regulation and consequently has a negative effect on cell migration. These results identify m7G modification as a new pathway for the regulation of miRNAs.

Project description:N7-methylguanosine (m7G) in variable loop region of tRNA stabilizes target tRNA expression, which is catalyzed by METTL1/WDR4 heterodimer. Here, we unveil essential functions of Mettl1 in Drosophila fertility. Mettl1-knockout (Mettl1-KO) decreases elongated spermatid and mature sperm, which is fully rescued by Mettl1-transgene expression, but not catalytic dead Mettl1-transgene, demonstrating that Mettl1-dependent m7G is required for spermatogenesis. Mettl1-KO shows loss of m7G modification on subset of tRNAs and decreased level of tRNA expression. Strikingly, overexpression of translational elongation factor EF1α that can compete with rapid tRNA decay (RTD) pathway in S. cerevisiae, significantly counteract the sterility in Mettl1-KO male, supporting a critical role of m7G tRNA modification in spermatogenesis. Ribo-seq analysis shows that Mettl1-KO elevates ribosome collisions at codons decoded by reduced tRNAs and significantly reduces translation of genes involved in elongated spermatid formation and sperm stability. These findings reveal a developmental role for m7G tRNA modifications and suggest that m7G modification-dependent tRNA stability differs among tissues.
