Project description:Polycomb CBX7 was stably expressed in embryonal carcinoma cells in order to identify target genes. The study was specifically geared toward unveiling gene targets that are susceptible to DNA hypermethylation in adult cancer. A number of CBX7 target tumor suppressor genes were thereby identified and used in further studies to characterize the mechanism surrounding CBX7 mediated gene suppression. Keywords: CBX7 target gene identification A cDNA encoding the ORF of polycomb CBX7 under the control of EF1alpha promoter was transfected into the Tera-2 embryonal carcinoma cell line. Empty vector was used to transfect control cells. The cells were subject to stable selection using puromycin and a pooled population of CBX7 overexpressing cells was established. Gene expression analysis was performed by comparing the gene expression profile of CBX7 cells to empty vector control cells.

Project description:Chromobox protein homolog 7 (CBX7) can inhibit the progression of various tumors, but its impact on the stem cell-like properties of GBM cells remains unclear. Clinically, low levels of CBX7 are associated with poor prognosis and increased distant metastasis in GBM patients, and this low expression is caused by methylation of the CBX7 promoter. In this study, through bioinformatics analysis, we found that CBX7 is the most significantly downregulated member of the CBX family in GBM and is closely associated with the stem-like phenotype of GBM cells. Subsequent research showed that CBX7 promotes the degradation of myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) protein through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway via the polycomb repressive complex (PRC1) and suppresses the stem-like phenotype of GBM cells by inhibiting the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF κB) signaling pathway. Furthermore, overexpression of MYH9 in GBM cells can reverse the inhibitory effects of CBX7 on migration, proliferation, invasion, and stemness of GBM cells. In summary, CBX7 acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting the stem cell-like characteristics of GBM. The CBX7-MYH9-NF-κB signaling axis may serve as a potential therapeutic target for GBM.

Project description:The Polycomb Group Proteins (PcG) are epigenetic regulatory complexes, dysregulation of which has been associated with multiple biological processes, including maintenance of cell identity, differentiation, proliferation, and cancer progression.PcGs form two multiprotein complexes, Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2(1).The PRC2 protein complex mainly consists of Early embryonic deficient (EED), Suppressor of Zeste (SUZ12) and Enhancer of Zeste (EZH), which can catalyzes the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), thereby leaving a transcriptionally repressive mark on the chromatin . Such alterations are recognized and read by canonical PRC1 which is composed of CBX (polycomb), PCGF (polycomb group factor), HPH (human polyhomeotic homolog), and the E3-ligase protein (RING) that catalyzes the monoubiquitination of histone H2A on lysine 119 (H2AK119ub1). The H3K27me3 mark is identified by and binds to the chromodomain within the CBX protein in PRC1, thereby ubiquitinating H2AK119 via the RING proteins. The interaction of PRC2 and PRC1 in chromatin contributes to chromatin compaction and transcriptional silencing of target genes.There are five chromobox proteins in humans, CBX2, 4, 6, 7 and 8. Increasing evidence supports essential roles of CBX proteins in tumorigenesis. Remarkably, CBX proteins have shown an opposite function in distinct cancer types in tumor development. For example, CBX7 is overexpressed in ovarian and prostate cancer , implying its oncogenic role in these tumor types. In contrast, CBX7 functions as a tumor suppressor and loss of CBX7 has been associated with increasing the malignancy grade in bladder, breast, pancreatic, glioma, and colon carcinomas (3 4 5 6 7), but its tumor suppression mechanism is unclear.

Project description:We have sequenced miRNA libraries from human embryonic, neural and foetal mesenchymal stem cells. We report that the majority of miRNA genes encode mature isomers that vary in size by one or more bases at the 3’ and/or 5’ end of the miRNA. Northern blotting for individual miRNAs showed that the proportions of isomiRs expressed by a single miRNA gene often differ between cell and tissue types. IsomiRs were readily co-immunoprecipitated with Argonaute proteins in vivo and were active in luciferase assays, indicating that they are functional. Bioinformatics analysis predicts substantial differences in targeting between miRNAs with minor 5’ differences and in support of this we report that a 5’ isomiR-9-1 gained the ability to inhibit the expression of DNMT3B and NCAM2 but lost the ability to inhibit CDH1 in vitro. This result was confirmed by the use of isomiR-specific sponges. Our analysis of the miRGator database indicates that a small percentage of human miRNA genes express isomiRs as the dominant transcript in certain cell types and analysis of miRBase shows that 5’ isomiRs have replaced canonical miRNAs many times during evolution. This strongly indicates that isomiRs are of functional importance and have contributed to the evolution of miRNA genes
