Abstract

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell tumor localized to the bone marrow (BM). Despite the fact that current treatment strategies have improved patients' median survival time, MM remains incurable. Epigenetic aberrations are emerging as important players in tumorigenesis making them attractive targets for therapy in cancer including MM. Recently, we suggested the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) as a common denominator of gene silencing in MM and presented the PRC2 enzymatic subunit enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) as a potential therapeutic target in MM. Here we further dissect the anti-myeloma mechanisms mediated by EZH2 inhibition and show that pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 reduces the expression of MM-associated oncogenes; IRF-4, XBP-1, PRDM1/BLIMP-1 and c-MYC. We show that EZH2 inhibition reactivates the expression of microRNAs with tumor suppressor functions predicted to target MM-associated oncogenes; primarily miR-125a-3p and miR-320c. ChIP analysis reveals that miR-125a-3p and miR-320c are targets of EZH2 and H3K27me3 in MM cell lines and primary cells. Our results further highlight that polycomb-mediated silencing in MM includes microRNAs with tumor suppressor activity. This novel role strengthens the oncogenic features of EZH2 and its potential as a therapeutic target in MM.

摘要

多发性骨髓瘤(MM)是一种局限于骨髓(BM)的浆细胞肿瘤。尽管目前的治疗策略已改善了患者的中位生存时间,但MM仍然无法治愈。表观遗传异常在肿瘤发生过程中逐渐成为重要因素,使其成为包括MM在内的癌症治疗的有吸引力靶点。最近,我们提出多梳抑制复合物2(PRC2)是MM中基因沉默的共同特征,并将PRC2酶亚基zeste同源物2增强子(EZH2)作为MM的潜在治疗靶点。在此,我们进一步剖析了EZH2抑制介导的抗骨髓瘤机制,结果表明,EZH2的药理学抑制降低了MM相关癌基因的表达;即干扰素调节因子4(IRF-4)、X盒结合蛋白1(XBP-1)、PR结构域蛋白1/Blimp-1(PRDM1/BLIMP-1)和原癌基因c-MYC。我们发现,EZH2抑制可重新激活具有肿瘤抑制功能的微小RNA的表达,这些微小RNA预计可靶向MM相关癌基因;主要是miR-125a-3p和miR-320c。染色质免疫沉淀分析表明,miR-125a-3p和miR-320c是MM细胞系和原代细胞中EZH2和组蛋白H3第27位赖氨酸三甲基化(H3K27me3)的靶点。我们的结果进一步强调,MM中多梳介导的沉默包括具有肿瘤抑制活性的微小RNA。这一新作用强化了EZH2的致癌特性及其作为MM治疗靶点的潜力。
