We found that IKZF3/Aiolos is a downstream target of BART lncRNAs in NPC cells. The functions of BART lncRNAs and IKZF3 in EBV latency and pathogenesis of NPC remain elusive. In this study, meta-analysis of eight EBV-associated studies showed that IKZF3/Aiolos was consistently upregulated in EBV-infected NPC cells. Our study further showed that transcription of IKZF3/Aiolos is highly upregulated in EBV-infected NPC cells and clinical tissue samples due to the action of EBV encoded BART lncRNAs, with IKZF3/Aiolos was expressed at higher levels in late stage (stage III & IV) NPC patients than in early stage (stage I & II) disease. Secondly, we found that IKZF3/Aiolos was upregulated in BART-activated NPC cells but downregulated in BART-knockdown NPC cells. In addition, this study further demonstrated that IKZF3/Aiolos modulates transcription of EBV BZLF1 and the cellular gene, LRIG1, to maintain EBV latency and promote NPC tumorigenesis in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that the EBV lytic reactivator BZLF1 was upregulated in IKZF3/Aiolos knockout or Aiolos inhibitor-treated NPC cells. ChIP-qPCR, immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence analyses further revealed that IKZF3/Aiolos induces H3K27 deacetylation to silence expression of BZLF1 and maintain EBV latency in NPC cells. Moreover, functional analyses and western blotting showed that IKZF3/Aiolos inhibited the tumor suppressor, LRIG1, to upregulate expression and phosphorylation of the cellular proto-oncogene Erb-B2 for NPC pathogenesis. Sphere- and colony-formation assays demonstrated that IKZF3/Aiolos enhances growth of NPC cells in vitro, and in vivo experiments further showed that IKZF3/Aiolos promotes tumorigenicity of NPC cells in NOD mice. Mechanically, we found that the expression of EBV lytic reactivator BZLF1 and cellular LRIG1 were negatively regulated by BART lncRNA/IKZF3/Aiolos regulatory machinery in NPC cells, while Erb-B2 was positively regulated, which indicated that IKZF3/Aiolos is a new biomarker for NPC and may lead to the development of novel diagnostic tests and treatments for NPC.\u0000 Citation Format: Songtao He, Jiayan Liu, Bobo Wing-Yee Mok, Sai Wah Tsao, Honglin Chen.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER) proteins like ERCC2 play a critical role in maintaining genome integrity by recognizing and unwinding DNA at sites of damage1.Aberrant expression of ERCC2 alters NER capacity, influencing treatment outcomes2. The current investigation examined the expression of ERCC2 following epigenetic combination treatment in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and preclinical models. Attention was drawn to ERCC2 based on three observations. First, from online databases, when ERCC2 was overexpressed in colon tumors the corresponding CRC patients had reduced overall survival3. Second, ERCC2 was the most highly downregulated gene when dietary histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) inhibitor sulforaphane (SFN) was combined withJQ1, an inhibitor of the bromodomain and extra terminal domain family, in human colon cancer cells and in colon polyps from the polyposis in rat colon (Pirc) model4. Third, as reported here for the first time, RNA-seq analyses of Pirc colon polyps from rats treated withJQ1 and the SFN analog 6-SFN5 identified Ercc2 as the most highly downregulated gene. RNA-seq data were corroborated by RT-qPCR and immunoblotting experiments. There is much interest in combination approaches that target epigenetic ‘readers, writers, and erasers9 that are deregulated in cancer and other pathologies. The current work identified promising second-generation inhibitors with enhanced synergy and antitumor efficacy, especially in metastatic cells cultured in three-dimensions. Drug combinations decreased HDAC3, BRD4 and ERCC2 expression, while DNA damage and apoptosis markers were increased both in spheroids and in a mouse xenograft model. This investigation has potential clinical relevance for the identification of robust biomarkers that predict enhanced antitumor outcomes in CRC patients.1. Gillet LC, Scharer OD.
