Purpose
GAS41 is a YEATS domain protein that binds to acetylated histone H3 to promote the chromatin deposition of H2A.Z in non-small cell lung cancer. The role of GAS41 in pancreatic cancer is still unknown. Here, we aimed to reveal this role.
Methods
GAS41 expression in pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines was examined using qRT-PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. MTT, colony formation, spheroid formation and in vivo tumorigenesis assays were performed to assess the proliferation, tumorigenesis, stemness and gemcitabine (GEM) resistance of pancreatic cancer cells. Mechanistically, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays were used to evaluate the roles of GAS41, H2A.Z.2 and Notch1 in pancreatic cancer.
Results
We found that GAS41 is overexpressed in human pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines, and that its expression increases following the acquisition of GEM resistance. We also found that GAS41 up-regulates Notch, as well as pancreatic cancer cell stemness and GEM resistance in vitro and in vivo. We show that GAS41 binds to H2A.Z.2 and activates Notch and its downstream mediators, thereby regulating stemness and drug resistance. Depletion of GAS41 or H2A.Z.2 was found to down-regulate Notch and to sensitize pancreatic cancer cells to GEM.
Conclusion
Our data indicate that GAS41 mediates proliferation and GEM resistance in pancreatic cancer cells via H2A.Z.2 and Notch1.
