摘要
交替多腺苷酸化(APA)影响着大多数人类基因,并在所有研究的癌症中反复出现失调。然而,人们对这种失调的机理还不完全清楚。我们描述了对整个《癌症基因组图谱》中多聚(A)位点选择的分子调控因子的无偏见分析,并发现结直肠腺癌相对于所有其他癌症亚型是一个异常值。这种区别是由于结直肠腺癌中经常出现功能缺失的 APC 突变,与缺乏 APC 突变的肿瘤相比,这种突变与长 3′ UTR 表达密切相关。APC 基因敲除同样会导致人类结肠器官组织中的 APA 失调。通过挖掘以前发表的 APC eCLIP 数据,我们发现 APC 会优先结合近端 poly(A) 位点上游的富含 G 和 C 的基序。最后,我们发现在缺乏复发性 APC 突变的肿瘤类型中,APC 表达的减少与 APA 失调有关。我们的研究结果表明,APC 促进了近端 poly(A) 位点的使用,APC 的缺失和表达改变导致了癌症中普遍存在的 APA 失调。
APC mutations dysregulate alternative polyadenylation in cancer
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) affects most human genes and is recurrently dysregulated in all studied cancers. However, the mechanistic origins of this dysregulation are incompletely understood. We describe an unbiased analysis of molecular regulators of poly(A) site selection across The Cancer Genome Atlas and identify that colorectal adenocarcinoma is an outlier relative to all other cancer subtypes. This distinction arises from the frequent presence of loss-of-function APC mutations in colorectal adenocarcinoma, which are strongly associated with long 3′ UTR expression relative to tumors lacking APC mutations. APC knockout similarly dysregulates APA in human colon organoids. By mining previously published APC eCLIP data, we show that APC preferentially binds G- and C-rich motifs just upstream of proximal poly(A) sites. Lastly, we find that reduced APC expression is associated with APA dysregulation in tumor types lacking recurrent APC mutations. As APC has been previously identified as an RNA-binding protein that preferentially binds 3′ UTRs during mouse neurogenesis, our results suggest that APC promotes proximal poly(A) site use and that APC loss and altered expression contribute to pervasive APA dysregulation in cancers.
