- W4242172021 abstract "Abstract Reversing the DNA methylation abnormalities by targeting the maintenance DNA methylation machinery represents a sought-after therapy paradigm in both liquid and solid tumors. UHRF1, a multi-domain protein with both chromatin reader and writer functions, is essential for targeting DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) to replicating DNA to maintain DNA methylation in both normal and cancer cells. Dysregulation of the DNMT1-UHRF1 axis is being increasingly linked to malignant transformation and progression across cancer types. Our recent study shows that UHRF1 depletion, alone or in combination with low doses of a DNMT inhibitor, effectively induces DNA demethylation and tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) reactivation. These findings collectively suggest UHRF1 represents a promising target for developing next-generation DNA demethylation agents for cancer therapy. Understanding the collective contribution of UHRF1’s domains for maintenance methylation is essential for the major translational goal of blocking maintenance of abnormal DNA methylation in established cancers and throughout cancer initiation and progression. While the UHRF1 domains responsible for de novo or re-methylation have been identified, the domain requirements specifically for maintaining normal and cancer-specific DNA methylation are poorly characterized. Herein, by developing a carefully timed genetic complementation assay, we systematically interrogate the roles for each major domain of UHRF1 for maintaining genome-wide DNA methylation in human colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Distinct from the domain required for establishing methylation, we find that UHRF1 histone-binding and hemimethylated DNA reader domains, but not E3 ligase activity, are essential for maintaining cancer-specific DNA methylation in both HCT116 and RKO cells. Disrupting either one of the essential domains phenocopies UHRF1 depletion for global DNA demethylation and reactivation of epigenetically silenced TSGs. Supporting the essential roles of abnormal DNA methylation in sustaining the key oncogenic properties of CRC cells, we further show genetic perturbation of either histone- or hemimethylated DNA-binding activities of UHRF1 dramatically impairs CRC proliferation, invasion, and metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, for eight UHRF1 chromatin-reader domain regulated TSGs, we reveal a strong negative correlation between high UHRF1 expression, promoter hypermethylation, and their low expression with disease progression and overall survival in CRC patients in both TCGA and two independent CRC cohorts (n=363 and 390, respectively). Taken together, our data identify important differences from domains dominant for de novo DNA methylation, and provide important implications for the oncogenic functions of UHRF1 in CRC, and for credentialing UHRF1 as a desirable target for cancer drug development and means to personalize this.
