Project description:The epigenetic regulator BMI1 is upregulated in many human malignancies and has been implicated in cell migration, but the impact on autochthonous tumor progression is unexplored. Our analyses of human expression data show that BMI1 levels increase with progression in melanoma. We find that BMI1 expression in melanoma cells does not influence cell proliferation or primary tumor growth. In contrast, BMI1 levels are a key determinant of melanoma metastasis, whereby deletion impairs and overexpression enhances dissemination. Remarkably, BMI1’s pro-metastatic effect reflects enhancement of all stages of the metastatic cascade including invasion, migration, extravasation, adhesion and survival. Additionally, downregulation or upregulation of BMI1 induces sensitivity or resistance to BRAF inhibitor. Consistent with these pleiotropic effects, we find that BMI1 promotes widespread gene expression changes that encompass key hallmarks of the melanoma invasive signature, including activation of TGFβ, non-canonical Wnt, EMT and EGF/PDGF pathways. Importantly, for both primary and metastatic melanoma samples, this BMI1-induced signature identifies invasive subclasses of human melanoma and predicts poor patient outcome. Our data yield key insights into melanoma biology and establish BMI1 as a compelling drug target whose inhibition would suppress both metastasis and chemoresistance.

Project description:NguyenLK2011 - Ubiquitination dynamics in
Ring1B-Bmi1 system
This theoretical model investigates the
dynamics of Ring1B/Bmi1 ubiquitination to identify bistable
switch-like and oscillatory behaviour in the
system. Michaelis-Menten (MM) equations are used to formulate
the model. However, the authors show that the dynamics persist even
for Mass-Action kinetics. This SBML file is the MM version of the
model.

Abstract:
In an active, self-ubiquitinated state, the Ring1B ligase
monoubiquitinates histone H2A playing a critical role in
Polycomb-mediated gene silencing. Following ubiquitination by
external ligases, Ring1B is targeted for proteosomal
degradation. Using biochemical data and computational modeling,
we show that the Ring1B ligase can exhibit abrupt switches,
overshoot transitions and self-perpetuating oscillations
between its distinct ubiquitination and activity states. These
different Ring1B states display canonical or multiply branched,
atypical polyubiquitin chains and involve association with the
Polycomb-group protein Bmi1. Bistable switches and oscillations
may lead to all-or-none histone H2A monoubiquitination rates
and result in discrete periods of gene (in)activity. Switches,
overshoots and oscillations in Ring1B catalytic activity and
proteosomal degradation are controlled by the abundances of
Bmi1 and Ring1B, and the activities and abundances of external
ligases and deubiquitinases, such as E6-AP and USP7.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor with limited therapeutic options, possibly because of the highly tumorigenic subpopulations of stem cell-like cells. Mechanisms that sustain cancer stem cells are crucial to tumor progression. The polycomb group protein BMI1 (BMI1 proto-oncogene, polycomb ring finger) maintains cancer hallmarks including the glioblastoma stem-like cell (GSC) state. Ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) is highly expressed in and required for the maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Previously, we observed that forced expressed microRNA-218 in glioblastoma cells led to suppressed BMI1 expression. However, the pathways engaged by USP22 or driving BMI1 accumulation in GSCs remained elusive. Here, we found USP22 to be a novel deubiquitylase of BMI1. USP22 directly deubiquitylates and stabilizes BMI1. USP22 protein levels are elevated in tumor neurosphere. USP22 depletion induces BMI1 destabilization, and results in the inhibition of GSCs self-renewal by regulating a broad range of genes involved in glioma stemness and progression. Xenograft analyses using U87MG cells showed that both USP22 and BMI1 depletion attenuated tumor growth. Clinically, the expression levels of USP22 and BMI1 were positively correlated with those common targets like POSTN, HEY2, or PDGFRA and inversely correlated with ATF3 in human glioblastoma specimens. Taken together, our data reveals that USP22 functions as a novel deubiquitylase of BMI1 and inhibits self-renewal of GSCs by stabilizing BMI1. These findings also indicate that the USP22-BMI1 axis has a critical role in glioma tumorigenesis and that targeting the axis may provide a new therapeutic approach for human glioblastoma.

Project description:The epigenetic repressor BMI1 plays an integral role in promoting the self-renewal and proliferation of many adult stem cell populations, and also tumor types, primarily through silencing the Cdkn2a locus, which encodes the tumor suppressors p16Ink4a and p19Arf. However, in cutaneous melanoma, BMI1 drives epithelial-mesenchymal transition programs, and thus metastasis, while having little impact on proliferation or primary tumor growth. This raised questions about the requirement and role for BMI1 in melanocyte stem cell (MeSC) biology. Here, we demonstrate that murine melanocyte-specific Bmi1 deletion causes premature hair greying, which results from gradual MeSC loss. We establish that MeSC loss begins in the second hair cycle and is accompanied by melanocyte depletion. RNA-seq of MeSCs revealed that Bmi1 deletion induces transcriptional upregulation of p16Ink4a and p19Arf, mirroring the central role of BMI1 in other stem cell contexts. Additionally, the glutathione S-transferase enzymes Gsta1 and Gsta2 are downregulated by BMI1 loss, raising the possibility that MeSCs could be susceptible to oxidative stress. Accordingly, treatment with the antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) partially rescued melanocyte expansion. Together, our data establish a critical role for BMI1 in MeSC maintenance that reflect a partial role for suppression of oxidative stress, and likely transcriptional repression of Cdkn2a.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive intrinsic brain tumour in adults. Epigenetic mechanisms controlling normal brain development are often dysregulated in GBM. Among these, BMI1, a structural component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), which promotes the H2AK119ub catalytic activity of Ring1B, is upregulated in GBM and its tumorigenic role has been shown in vitro and in vivo. Here, we have used protein and chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis to elucidate the protein composition of PRC1 in GBM and CRISPR/dCAS9-mediated modulation of BMI1 to assess its influence on protein interactions. We show that while well-established BMI1 functions such as control of cell proliferation and cell adhesion are PRC1-dependent, novel regulatory functions in mRNA splicing and cholesterol transport are PRC1 independent and may represent novel targetable mechanisms in GBM.

Project description:Several studies have demonstrated that melanoma-derived exosomes home in sentinel lymph nodes favoring metastasis. Here, we determined the proteomic signature in exosomes derived from lymph node metastatic models. We found a signature of genes over-expressed and proteins hyper-secreted in exosomes related to lymph node metastasis in the B16 mouse melanoma model. Out of these candidates, we found that Emilin1, a protein with an important function in lymph node physiology, was hyper-secreted in exosomes. Interestingly, we found that Emilin1 is degraded and secreted in exosomes as a mechanism favoring metastasis. Indeed, we found that Emilin1 has a tumor suppressor-like role regulating negatively cell viability and migration. Importantly, our in vivo studies demonstrate that Emilin1 overexpression reduced primary tumor growth and metastasis in mouse melanoma models. Analysis in human melanoma samples showed that cells expressing high levels of EMILIN1 are reduced in metastatic lesions. Overall, our analysis suggests a novel mechanism involved in the inactivation of Emilin1 in melanoma favouring melanoma progression and metastasis.

Project description:The Bmi1 Polycomb protein is involved in the epigenetic repressive control of self renewal and survival of cancer initiating cells. In Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), bmi1 expression increases gradually as the disease progresses from a chronic latent phase to a deadly blast crisis. We developped an inducible shRNA system to silence Bmi1 in the human K562 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line in order to identify new Bmi1-target genes.

Project description:S100A4 is a known metastasis-promoting factor, rich in the tumor microenvironment. To clarify how extracellular S100A4 execute its pro-metastatic function, we analyzed gene expression in melanoma cells stimulated with recombinant protein rS100A4 and compared it to the expression in control non-stimulated cells. Two melanoma cell lines representing two distinct phenotypes M-bM-^@M-^S invasive (Melmet 1) and non-invasive/proliferative (Melmet 5) M-bM-^@M-^S were included in the study. The response at the gene expression level was much stronger in Melmet 5 than in Melmet 1. Melmet 5 down-regulated genes associated with melanocytic differentiation, indicating that Melmet 5 cells gained dedifferentiated, more invasive phenotype after stimulation with rS100A4. The observed changes in the expression of metabolism associated genes suggested the occurrence of metabolic reprogramming. We conclude that extracellular S100A4 stimulate the transition to the invasive phenotype in poorly-invasive melanoma cells, and that this transition is associated with metabolic reprogrammingve Total RNA was isolated from Melmet 1 and Melmet 5 cells stimulated with rS100A4 protein for 48hrs compared to non-stimulated cells.

Project description:Cancer stem-like traits contribute to prostate cancer (PCa) progression and metastasis. Discovering and clarifying the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with PCa stem-like traits would be great beneficial to clinical treatment of advanced PCa. Cullin 4B (CUL4B) is a scaffold protein overexpressed in several solid malignancies. It is known to silence tumor suppressor through post-transcriptional manner. In this study, through gain- and loss-of-function experiments, we showed that CUL4B promotes PCa pluripotency-associated markers expression, sphere formation and anchorage-independent growth ability in virto. Mechanically, we identified BMI1 as a target of CUL4B. CUL4B unregulates BMI1 expression via epigenetically repressing microRNA-200b (miR200b) and microRNA-200c (miR200c). In addition, miR200b and miR200c (miR200b/c) could partially reverse CUL4B-induced BMI1 and pluripotency-associated marker expression. Finally, our study revealed a CUL4B-miR200b/c-BMI1 oncoprotein axis in PCa, which might give novel insight into how CUL4B promotes PCa progression through regulating cancer stem-like traits.
