iTRAQ Analysis of a Cell Culture Model for Malignant Transformation, Including Comparison with 2D-PAGE and SILAC
To study human cancer development, cell culture models
for malignant
transformation can be used. In 1999 Hahn and Coworkers introduced
such a model system and established herewith a basis for research
on human tumorigenesis. Primary human fibroblasts are sequentially
transduced with defined genetic elements (hTERT, SV40 ER, and H-Ras<sup>V12</sup>), resulting in four defined cell lines, whereby the last
has a fully transformed phenotype. In order to get a deeper insight
into the molecular biology of human tumorigenesis, we compared the
proteomes of these four cell lines following a multimethod concept.
At the beginning we assumed SILAC and sample fractionation with COFRADIC
is the method of choice to analyze the cell culture model for malignant
transformation. Here, the compared samples are combined before sample
preparation, thus avoiding differences in sample preparation, and
using COFRADIC notably reduces sample complexity. Because 2D-PAGE
is a standard method for the separation and visualization of closely
related proteomes, we decided to analyze and compare the proteomes
of these four cell lines in a first approach by differential 2D-PAGE.
Surprisingly, we discovered much more unique results with iTRAQ and
sample fractionation with SCX than with the combination of 2D-PAGE
and SILAC-COFRADIC. Moreover, iTRAQ outperforms the other strategies
not only in number of yielded results but also in analysis time. Here,
we present the iTRAQ quantification results and compare them with
the results of 2D-PAGE and SILAC-COFRADIC. We found changes in the
protein level at each transition. Thereby, SV40 has the strongest
impact on the proteome. In detail we identified 201 regulated proteins.
Beside others, these proteins are involved in cytoskeleton, RNA processing,
and cell cycle, such as CDC2, hnRNPs, snRNPs, collagens, and MCM proteins.
For example, MCM proteins are up-regulated and collagens are down-regulated
due to SV40 ER expression. Furthermore we made the observation that
proteins containing the same domain have analogous regulation profiles
during malignant transformation. For instance, several proteins containing
a CH or LIM domain are down-regulated. Moreover, by this study and
the defined cell culture model, changes could be clearly matched to
specific steps during tumorigenesis
MGA, L3MBTL2 and E2F6 determine genomic binding of the non-canonical Polycomb repressive complex PRC1.6
<div><p>Diverse Polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1) play essential roles in gene regulation, differentiation and development. Six major groups of PRC1 complexes that differ in their subunit composition have been identified in mammals. How the different PRC1 complexes are recruited to specific genomic sites is poorly understood. The Polycomb Ring finger protein PCGF6, the transcription factors MGA and E2F6, and the histone-binding protein L3MBTL2 are specific components of the non-canonical PRC1.6 complex. In this study, we have investigated their role in genomic targeting of PRC1.6. ChIP-seq analysis revealed colocalization of MGA, L3MBTL2, E2F6 and PCGF6 genome-wide. Ablation of MGA in a human cell line by CRISPR/Cas resulted in complete loss of PRC1.6 binding. Rescue experiments revealed that MGA recruits PRC1.6 to specific loci both by DNA binding-dependent and by DNA binding-independent mechanisms. Depletion of L3MBTL2 and E2F6 but not of PCGF6 resulted in differential, locus-specific loss of PRC1.6 binding illustrating that different subunits mediate PRC1.6 loading to distinct sets of promoters. Mga, L3mbtl2 and Pcgf6 colocalize also in mouse embryonic stem cells, where PRC1.6 has been linked to repression of germ cell-related genes. Our findings unveil strikingly different genomic recruitment mechanisms of the non-canonical PRC1.6 complex, which specify its cell type- and context-specific regulatory functions.</p></div
