Project description:Tumor metastasis remains the major cause of cancer-related death, but its molecular basis is still not well understood. Here we uncovered a splicing-mediated pathway that is essential for breast cancer metastasis. We show that the RNA-binding protein hnRNPM promotes breast cancer metastasis by activating the switch of alternative splicing that occurs during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Genome-wide deep sequencing analysis suggests that hnRNPM potentiates TGFb signaling and identifies CD44 as a key downstream target of hnRNPM. hnRNPM ablation prevents TGFb-induced EMT and inhibits breast cancer metastasis in mice, whereas enforced expression of the specific CD44s splice isoform overrides the loss of hnRNPM and permits EMT and metastasis. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the ubiquitously expressed hnRNPM acts in a mesenchymal-specific manner to precisely control CD44 splice isoform switching during EMT. This restricted cell-type activity of hnRNPM is achieved by competition with ESRP1, an epithelial-splicing regulator that binds to the same cis-regulatory RNA elements and is repressed during EMT. Importantly, hnRNPM is associated with aggressive breast cancer and correlates with increased CD44s in patient specimens. These findings demonstrate a novel molecular mechanism through which tumor metastasis is endowed by the hnRNPM-mediated splicing program.

Project description:The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental developmental process that is abnormally activated in cancer metastasis. Dynamic changes in alternative splicing occur during EMT. ESRP1 and hnRNPM are splicing regulators that promote an epithelial splicing program and a mesenchymal splicing program, respectively. The functional relationships between these splicing factors in the genome-scale remain elusive. Comparing alternative splicing targets of hnRNPM and ESRP1 revealed that they co-regulate a set of cassette exon events, with the majority showing discordant splicing regulation. hnRNPM discordantly regulated splicing events show a positive correlation with splicing during EMT while concordant splicing events do not, highlighting the antagonistic role of hnRNPM and ESRP1 during EMT. Motif enrichment analysis near co-regulated exons identifies guanine-uridine rich motifs downstream of hnRNPM-repressed and ESRP1-enhanced exons, supporting a model of competitive binding to these cis-elements to antagonize alternative splicing. The set of co-regulated exons are enriched in genes associated with cell-migration and cytoskeletal reorganization, which are pathways associated with EMT. Splicing levels of co-regulated exons are associated with breast cancer patient survival and correlate with gene sets involved in EMT and breast cancer subtypes. In conclusion, hnRNPM and ESRP1 co-regulate antagonistically a set of alternative splicing events that occur during EMT. This regulation is likely mediated through competition for the same intronic binding sites downstream of variable exons. hnRNPM and ESRP1 regulated splicing events are associated with breast cancer survival.

Project description:Splicing factor SRSF1 promotes breast cancer progression via regulating alternative splicing

Project description:Tumor metastasis is the most lethal attribute of breast cancer, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in this process. Alternative splicing has been shown to causally contribute to EMT; however, the scope of critical splicing events and the regulatory network of splicing factors that govern them remain largely unexplored. Here we report the identification of A-Kinase Anchor Protein (AKAP8) as an EMT splicing regulatory factor that impedes EMT and breast cancer metastasis. AKAP8 not only is capable of inhibiting splicing activity of the EMT-promoting splicing regulator hnRNPM through protein-protein interaction, it also binds to RNA directly and alters splicing outcomes. Genome-wide analysis revealed that AKAP8-mediated splicing events, specifically in epithelial cells, are reversely regulated during EMT, suggesting that AKAP8 maintains an epithelial cell-state splicing program. Experimental manipulation of a newly identified AKAP8 splicing target calsyntenin-1 (CLSTN1) revealed that splice isoform switching of CLSTN1 is crucial for EMT. Mining breast cancer patient data supports the experimental findings and AKAP8 expression and the alternative splicing of CLSTN1 predict patient survival. Our work demonstrates the essentiality of RNA metabolism that impinges on metastatic breast cancer.

Project description:Metastasis is responsible for the majority of breast cancer (BrCa) deaths; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we report that suppression of MBD2 alternative splicing under hypoxia, which favors the production of MBD2a, facilitates BrCa metastasis. Specifically, we found that MBD2a promotes, whereas its less-known short form MBD2c suppresses metastasis. We elucidate that HIF-1 activation under hypoxia facilitates MBD2a production via repression of SRSF2-mediated alternative splicing and, as a result, the elevated MBD2a outcompetes MBD2c for binding to the promoter CpG islands to activate the expression of FZD1, thereby promoting EMT and metastasis. Strikingly, clinical data reveals significantly correlated expression pattern of MBD2a and MBD2c with the invasiveness of malignancy, indicating the opposing roles for MBD2 splicing variants in regulating human BrCa metastasis. Thus, our findings establish a novel link between MBD2 switching and tumor metastasis, and provide promising therapeutic strategy and predictive biomarkers for hypoxia-driven BrCa metastasis.

Project description:ABSTRACT RNA binding motif proteins (RBMs) have been widely implicated in the tumorigenesis of multiple human cancers, but scarcely studied in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Here, we compare the mRNA levels of 29 RBMs between 87 NPC and 10 control samples. We find that RBM47 is frequently upregulated in NPC specimens and its high expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients with NPC. Biological experiments show that RBM47 plays an oncogenic role in NPC cells. Mechanically, RBM47 binds to the promoter and regulates the transcription of BCAT1 and its overexpression partially rescues the inhibitory effects of RBM47-knockdown on NPC cells. Moreover, transcriptome analysis reveals that RBM47 regulates alternative splicing of pre-mRNA, including those cancer-related, to a large extent in NPC cells. Furthermore, RBM47 binds to hnRNPM and cooperativelyjointly regulates multiple splicing events in NPC cells. In addition, we find that knockdown of hnRNPM inhibits proliferation and migration of NPC cells. Taken together, our study shows that RBM47 promotes the progression of NPC through multiple pathways, acting as a transcriptional factor and a modulator of alternative splicing in cooperation with hnRNPM. Our study also highlights that RBM47 and hnRNPM could be prognostic factors and potential therapeutic targets for NPC.

Project description:Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) play a decisive role in alternative splicing, regulating the cell proteome and contributing to human diseases. hnRNPs are nuclear proteins but it is still an open question where they localize in the nucleus and what determines their tethering to nuclear assemblies in response to signals. Here we report that IQGAP1, a cytosolic scaffold protein, localizes in the nucleus of gastric cancer cells acting as a tethering module for hnRNPM as well as other spliceosome components. The IQGAP1-hnRNPM interaction alters, among others, the alternative splicing of ANAPC10 and is required for the response of hnRNPM to heat-induced stress signals. Together, IQGAP1 and hnRNPM promote gastric cancer cell growth while their depletion leads to cell cycle arrest and halts tumour progression. We propose that IQGAP1 localizes in the nucleus and coordinates gastric tumour growth by recruiting, in response to stress-signals, spliceosome components that drive cell cycle progression.

Project description:Autophagy is a catabolic process that facilitates the degradation of toxic molecules and contributes to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. However, the alternative splicing of genes involved in hypoxia-induced autophagy remains relatively unexplored. Here we performed pooled shRNA screening of multiple RNA binding proteins under hypoxia to mechanistically decipher their role in regulating alternative splicing of autophagy genes in breast cancer cells. We reported reduced SRSF9 expression under hypoxia that when exogenously expressed diminishes autophagosome formation. SRSF9 regulates alternative splicing of BNIP3 generating two functionally distinct isoforms regulating autophagosome formation and cancer progression through Warburg effect. Mechanistically, SRSF9 directly binds to exon 3 of BNIP3 mRNA inhibiting the truncated BNIP3- Δ3 generation and resultant warburg effect. Moreover, the individual ectopic expression of full length BNIP-FL promotes autophagosome formation. Collectively, our study identifies novel mechanism where SRSF9 mediates the switch between autophagy and Warburg effect via BNIP3 alternative splicing thereby impacting breast cancer progression and chemoresistance.

Project description:Cancer cells are differentially dependent on the splicing machinery compared to normal untransformed cells. The splicing machinery thus presents a potential therapeutic target in cancer. To identify splicing factors important for prostate cancer cell (PCa) growth, we performed an unbiased pooled shRNA screen in in vitro passaged cells and in vivo xenografted PCa tumors. Our screen revealed HNRNPM as a potential regulator of PCa cell growth. RNA- and eCLIP- sequencing data suggest that HNRNPM is bound to key homeostatic genes, and that loss of HNRNPM binding in a subset of these genes results in aberrant exon inclusion and exon back-splicing events in target transcripts. In mis-spliced transcripts, HNRNPM appears to preferentially bind to GU-rich elements in long flanking proximal introns. Mimicry of HNRNPM dependent splicing events using antisense oligonucleotides was sufficient to inhibit cell growth in HNRNPM expressing cells, suggesting that inhibition of cell growth in HNRNPM deficient cells likely has a multi-genic component. Taken together, our data reveal a role for HNRNPM in regulating PCa cell growth, and also as a potential therapeutic target in PCa.
