Genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies ELP5 as a determinant of gemcitabine sensitivity in gallbladder cancer
NATURE COMMUNICATIONS(2019)
摘要
Gemcitabine is the first-line treatment for locally advanced and metastatic gallbladder cancer (GBC), but poor gemcitabine response is universal. Here, we utilize a genome-wide CRISPR screen to identify that loss of ELP5 reduces the gemcitabine-induced apoptosis in GBC cells in a P53-dependent manner through the Elongator complex and other uridine 34 (U 34 ) tRNA-modifying enzymes. Mechanistically, loss of ELP5 impairs the integrity and stability of the Elongator complex to abrogate wobble U 34 tRNA modification, and directly impedes the wobble U 34 modification-dependent translation of hnRNPQ mRNA, a validated P53 internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) trans -acting factor. Downregulated hnRNPQ is unable to drive P53 IRES-dependent translation, but rescuing a U 34 modification-independent hnRNPQ mutant could restore P53 translation and gemcitabine sensitivity in ELP5 -depleted GBC cells. GBC patients with lower ELP5, hnRNPQ, or P53 expression have poor survival outcomes after gemcitabine chemotherapy. These results indicate that the Elongator/hnRNPQ/P53 axis controls gemcitabine sensitivity in GBC cells.
