Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant cancers worldwide, with high mortality. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of liver cancer, especially transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms, should be further studied. Here we used chromatin and cross-linking immunoprecipitation with high throughput sequencing methods (ChIP-seq and CLIP-seq) to capture the global binding profiles on RNAs and DNAs of Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and its partner Jumonji And AT-Rich Interaction Domain Containing 2 (JARID2) in liver carcinoma cell lines (HepG2) and normal liver cell line (THLE-2), respectively. We also integrated HCC transcriptome data from the TCGA to analyze the expression pattern of bound genes. We found that EZH2 and JARID2 both showed distinct binding profiles between HepG2 and THLE-2 cells. By binding to the primary RNAs, bound transcripts of EZH2 and JARID2 in HepG2 showed significantly increased transcriptional levels in HCC patients. By performing gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), the bound transcripts were also highly related to HCC development. We also found EZH2 and JARID2 could specifically bind to several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), including H19. By exploring the DNA binding profile, we detected a dramatically repressed DNA binding ability of EZH2 in HepG2 cells. We also found that the EZH2-bound genes showed slightly increased transcriptional levels in HepG2 cells. Integrating analysis of the RNA and DNA binding profiles suggests EZH2 and JARID2 shift their binding ability from DNA to RNA in HepG2 cells to promote cancer development in HCC. Our study provided a comprehensive and distinct binding profile on RNAs and DNAs of EZH2 and JARID2 in liver cancer cell lines, suggesting their potential novel functional manners to promote HCC development.

摘要

肝细胞癌(HCC)是全球最恶性的癌症之一,死亡率很高。然而,肝癌的分子调控机制,尤其是转录和转录后机制,仍有待进一步研究。在此,我们分别使用染色质和交联免疫沉淀高通量测序方法(ChIP-seq和CLIP-seq),捕获了肝癌细胞系(HepG2)和正常肝细胞系(THLE-2)中zeste同源物2增强子(EZH2)及其伙伴含Jumonji和富含AT互作结构域2(JARID2)在RNA和DNA上的全局结合图谱。我们还整合了来自TCGA的HCC转录组数据,以分析结合基因的表达模式。我们发现,EZH2和JARID2在HepG2和THLE-2细胞之间均表现出不同的结合图谱。通过与初级RNA结合,HepG2中EZH2和JARID2的结合转录本在HCC患者中显示出显著升高的转录水平。通过进行基因集富集分析(GSEA),结合转录本也与HCC发展高度相关。我们还发现EZH2和JARID2可以特异性结合几种长链非编码RNA(lncRNA),包括H19。通过探索DNA结合图谱,我们检测到HepG2细胞中EZH2的DNA结合能力显著降低。我们还发现,EZH2结合的基因在HepG2细胞中的转录水平略有升高。RNA和DNA结合图谱的整合分析表明,在HepG2细胞中,EZH2和JARID2将其结合能力从DNA转移到RNA,以促进HCC的癌症发展。我们的研究提供了肝癌细胞系中EZH2和JARID2在RNA和DNA上全面且独特的结合图谱,表明它们促进HCC发展的潜在新功能方式。
