Title An ErbB2/c-Src axis drives mammary tumorigenesis through metabolically directed translational regulation of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 [array]
Organism Mus musculus
Experiment type Expression profiling by array
Summary Perturbations in histone modifications alter transcription and promote carcinogenesis. Breast cancers frequently overexpress the histone methyltransferase EZH2, the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2). However, the mechanisms driving EZH2 overexpression are obscure and elucidating the role of PRC2 in breast cancer, which is highly heterogeneous, is challenging given its context-dependent oncogenic and tumor suppressive functions. Here, using genetically engineered mouse, PDX and cell line models, we show that the tyrosine kinase c-Src links energy sufficiency with PRC2 subunit overexpression via control of mRNA translation. In breast cancers initiated by the oncogene ErbB2, c-Src stimulates mitochondrial ATP production to suppress energy stress and permit sustained activation of the mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), which increases the translation of mRNAs encoding the PRC2 subunits Ezh2 and Suz12. We show that Ezh2 overexpression and activity are pivotal in ErbB2-mediated mammary tumorigenesis. These results reveal the hitherto unknown c-Src/mTORC1/PRC2 axis, which is essential for ErbB2-driven carcinogenesis.
 
Overall design We used microarrays to analyze transcriptional responses to c-Src ablation in the resulting c-Src-deficient mammary tumors. ErbB2-expressing tumors from mice without conditional Src alleles (hence expressing normal levels of c-Src) were used as the control.
We extracted total RNA from four control tumors (MMTV-NIC/c-Src+/+) and four c-Src-deficient tumors (MMTV-NIC/c-SrcL/L) of equivalent size and subjected the RNA to Affymetrix microarray analysis.
