HOXA3 and KDM6A cooperate in transcriptional control of aerobic glycolysis and glioblastoma progression

Abstract
Background
Alterations in transcriptional regulators of glycolytic metabolism have been implicated in brain tumor growth, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understand.
Methods
Knockdown and overexpression cells were used to explore the functional roles of HOXA3 in cell proliferation, tumor formation and aerobic glycolysis. Chromatin immunoprecipitation, luciferase assays and western blotting were performed to verify the regulation of HK2 and PKM2 by HOXA3. PLA, Immunoprecipitation and GST pull down assays were used to examine the interaction of HOXA3 and KDM6A.
Results
We report that transcription factor homeobox A3 (HOXA3), which is aberrantly highly expressed in glioblastoma (GBM) patients and predicts poor prognosis, transcriptionally activates aerobic glycolysis, leading to a significant acceleration in cell proliferation and tumor growth. Mechanically, we identified KDM6A, a lysine-specific dem ethylase, as an important cooperator of HOXA3 to regulating aerobic glycolysis. HOXA3 activates KDM6A transcription and recruits KDM6A to genomic binding sites of glycolytic genes, targeting glycolytic genes for transcriptional activation by removing the suppressive histone modification H3K27 trimethylation. Further evidences demonstrate that HOXA3 requires KDM6A for transcriptional activation of aerobic glycolysis and brain tumor growth.
Conclusion
Our findings provide a novel molecular mechanism linking HOXA3-mediated transactivation and KDM6A-coupled H3K27 demethylation in regulating glucose metabolism and GBM progression.
