Abstract
In human cells BRAF oncogene is invariably expressed as a mix of two coding transcripts: BRAF-ref and BRAF-X1. These two mRNA isoforms, remarkably different in the sequence and length of their 3′UTRs, are potentially involved in distinct post-transcriptional regulatory circuits. Herein, we identify PARP1 among the mRNA Binding Proteins that specifically target the X1 3′UTR in melanoma cells. Mechanistically, PARP1 Zinc Finger domain down-regulates BRAF expression at the translational level. As a consequence, it exerts a negative impact on MAPK pathway, and sensitizes melanoma cells to BRAF and MEK inhibitors, both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, our study unveils PARP1 as a negative regulator of the highly oncogenic MAPK pathway in melanoma, through the modulation of BRAF-X1 expression.
To the editor
Although BRAFV600E oncogenic kinase is extensively studied as cancer driver and represents a valuable therapeutic target, the regulation of BRAF gene expression remains largely unknown [1]. Recently, we reported that, irrespectively of its mutational status, BRAF is expressed as a mix of two different splicing variants, namely BRAF-ref and BRAF-X1. These mRNA isoforms are characterized by 3′UTRs of different sequence and length (~ 100nt vs. ~ 1300 to 7000nt) [2]. The corresponding protein isoforms differ at the C-terminal, however they are both endowed with kinase activity and together account for BRAFV600E oncogenic features in melanoma cells [2, 3].
A very long 3′UTR such as the X1 calls for post-transcriptional regulation. Indeed, we have already identified quite a large group of X1-targeting microRNAs that positively or negatively affect RNA stability and translation [4]. Since increasing evidence links RBPs with tumorigenesis [5], we performed a high-throughput screening for X1-targeting mRBPs. Such screening led us to the identification of PARP1 as negative regulator of BRAF-X1 translation and, consequently, of MAPK pathway signaling.
We performed REMSA on the ~ 1300nt long version of X1 3′UTR, using S100 cytoplasmic protein extract obtained from A375 melanoma cell line. We observed an X1-specific band shift when a radiolabeled riboprobe corresponding to the last 186nt of the 3′UTR was used (R8 probe in Fig. 1a; see also Additional file 1, Additional file 2: Figs. S1–S3 and Additional file 3: Table S1). Subsequently, we performed a pull-down experiment incubating A375 S100 extract with a desthiobiotinylated R8 riboprobe, and 87 cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind to the probe were identified by mass spectrometry. Among these proteins, we selected 51 for which no peptides were found in control samples (pull-down performed with a riboprobe of unrelated sequence; see Fig. 1b and Additional file 4: Table S2). STRING analysis revealed that these 51 proteins form a highly interconnected network (Fig. 1c) and belong to pathways related to RNA metabolism (Additional file 5: Table S3). The subset of 20 proteins classified as mRBPs ([6], red nodes in Fig. 1c; see also Additional file 2: Fig. S4) were further characterized using GEPIA database (http://gepia.cancer-pku.cn/detail.php?gene =). 6 mRBPs out of 20 have a prognostic value in melanoma (Additional file 2: Fig. S5), and 5 show a positive correlation with BRAF mRNA levels (DHX36, ILF3, KHSRP, PARP1 and STRAP, Additional file 2: Fig. S6). According to two databases (ARED (https://brp.kfshrc.edu.sa/ARED/) and AREsite2 (http://rna.tbi.univie.ac.at/AREsite2/welcome)), the R8 fragment of X1 3′UTR does not contain AU-Rich Elements. Therefore, known AUBPs such as ILF3 and KHSRP were not prioritized for further analysis. The binding affinity of the remaining 3 proteins (DHX36, PARP1, and STRAP) with R8 fragment of X1 3′UTR was predicted and ranked using the catRAPID omics v2.0 program. As shown in Fig. 1d and Additional file 6: Table S4, the affinity of PARP1 is top-scoring.
PARP1 directly binds the 3′UTR of BRAF-X1 mRNA and negatively regulates its translation in melanoma cells. a REMSA. On the top, schematic representation of the radiolabeled riboprobes used for the experiment. On the bottom, band shifts obtained incubating S100 cytoplasmic protein extract obtained from A375 cells with probe R7 and R8 (blue asterisks). See Additional file 2: Fig. S3 for further details. b Summary of the analytic workflow to which we subjected the 87 cytoplasmic proteins obtained by mass spectrometry analysis of R8 pull-down. c Interaction network of the 51 proteins showing no peptides in pull-down control samples, as obtained by STRING analysis. The 51 proteins are represented as nodes of the network, with the 20 mRBPs highlighted in red. The connections among nodes are depicted as lines and their strength as colors: light gray/gray/black corresponds to 0.5 (weak)/0.75 (intermediate)/1 (strong) overall score. Nodes have been arranged according to the number of connections they have with the other nodes of the network. The lower is the number of connections, the more peripheral is the position of a node. The Protein–Protein Interaction (PPI) enrichment p-value of the network is < 1.0E − 16. d Binding affinity of the 20 mRBPs to the R8 fragment of X1 3′UTR, according to catRAPID omics v2.0 program. RNA Fragment of R8: part of the R8 fragment bound by the mRBP. Interaction Propensity: probability of interaction between one protein (or region) and one RNA (or region). Z_score: correction of potential biases originating from the length of the RNAs and impacting the Interaction Propensity. RBP Propensity: measure of the propensity of the protein to bind the RNA (1 if the protein is in the RBP precompiled library). RNA Binding Domains: number of RNA binding domain occurrences found in the protein sequence. RNA Binding Motifs: number of RNA binding motif instances found on the RNA sequence. Conserved Interactions: number of organisms in which the interaction is conserved out of those in which an orthologous pair is found. Ranking: the ranking results from three individual values: (1) catRAPID corrected propensity, (2) RBP propensity, and (3) presence of known RNA Binding Motifs. The 5 top-scoring protein are reported. PARP1 has the highest rank, DHX36 is fourth, while STRAP is 17th (complete list in Additional file 6: Table S4). e Pull-down assay reveals the direct binding between desthiobiotinylated R8 riboprobe and recombinant PARP1 protein. Both the unrelated 3′UTR of Androgen Receptor mRNA, provided by the pull-down kit, and R2 riboprobe, which does not show any band shift when incubated with S100 cytoplasmic protein extract of A375 cells (see also Additional file 1), were used as negative controls. f Luciferase assays in A375 cells. The full-length ref or X1 3ʹUTR, as well as the X1 3′UTR missing the R8 region (X1 ΔR8, left) were cloned downstream of Luciferase CDS in pMIR plasmid, so that pMIR-ref-3′UTR, pMIR-X1-3′UTR and pMIR-X1-3′UTRΔR8 Luciferase plasmids were obtained. Such plasmids were either cotransfected with siCT/siPARP1 in A375 cells (middle), or transfected in A375 cells previously infected with pCW-CTRL/pCW-PARP1 vectors (right). 48 h after transfection, PARP1 knock-down is associated with an increase in the Luciferase activity of pMIR-X1-3′UTR plasmid, but not of pMIR-ref-3′UTR and pMIR-X1-3′UTRΔR8 plasmids, indicating that PARP1 interacts specifically with the X1 3′UTR, and more precisely with the R8 region. Consistently, 48 h after transfection and concomitant induction with 2ug/ml of doxycycline, PARP1 overexpression results in a decrease in the Luciferase activity of pMIR-X1-3′UTR plasmid. g Western blot analysis of BRAF protein level in A375 and 501Mel cells. Western blot was performed 48 h after the transfection of siPARP1 (left), or 48 h after induction of PARP1 overexpression in cells stably infected with pCW-PARP1 vector and treated with 2ug/ml doxycycline (right). A representative western blot result (top) and bands quantification (bottom) are shown. h The RTE of pMIR-X1-3′UTR plasmid, which is the ratio between Luciferase protein activity and Luciferase mRNA level, was calculated in A375 cells, 48 h after the cotransfection of the Luciferase plasmids with siPARP1.

PARP1 has been intensively studied and therapeutically exploited as a nuclear enzyme involved in recognition and repair of DNA damage. However, it has recently emerged as a multifaceted post-transcriptional regulator [7], also considering its partially cytoplasmic localization (Additional file 2: Figs. S7, S8) and its ability to bind mature poly(A) + mRNA [8]. After demonstrating that the binding of PARP1 protein to X1 3′UTR is direct (Fig. 1e), we explored the consequences of such binding, in terms of BRAF mRNA/protein levels and MAPK signaling.
Using appropriate Luciferase reporters (Fig. 1f, left and middle) and western blot analysis of A375 (BRAFV600E homozygous) and 501Mel (BRAFV600E heterozygous) melanoma cell lines (Fig. 1g, left), we observed that PARP1 knock down by siRNA leads to an increase in Luciferase activity of full length X1 reporter, and in endogenous BRAF protein levels, respectively. Conversely, PARP1 stable overexpression by means of inducible pCW-PARP1 vector (Additional file 2: Fig. S9, see also [4]) leads to opposite results (Fig. 1f, right and Fig. 1g, right). Interestingly, in Additional file 2: Fig. S10 we show that the negative regulation exerted by PARP1 on BRAF persists in a context of acquired resistance to vem. Next, we investigated whether PARP1 affects X1 mRNA or protein. We found that PARP1 does not alter X1 mRNA levels nor stability (Additional file 2: Figs. S11, S12), and rather impairs X1 mRNA translation (Fig. 1h). Consistently, the K222I mutant, which causes nuclear exclusion (Additional file 2: Fig. S13 and S14a,b), allowed us to confirm that it is cytoplasmic PARP1 to act as negative regulator of BRAF (Additional file 2: Fig. S14c).
To validate our findings using melanoma patient data, we resorted to the TCGA-SKCM dataset. Specifically, we compared BRAF mRNA and protein level in the 25% high PARP1 protein expressors versus the 25% low PARP1 protein expressors. Notably, no differences in BRAF mRNA level are present between the two groups (Fig. 1i), but the 25% high PARP1 protein expressors show lower BRAF protein levels, in accordance with our in vitro data (Fig. 1j, see also Additional file 2: Fig. S15). All together these data indicate that cytoplasmic PARP1 directly binds to the R8 region and represses BRAF-X1 translation.
PARP1 consists of three functional domains: the DNA/RNA Binding domain, which in turn is composed of 3 Zinc Finger motifs (Zn), the Auto-modification domain (Auto) and the Catalytic (parylating) domain (Cat) (Fig. 2a). To pinpoint which domain is responsible for BRAF-X1 regulation, we stably overexpressed each of them separately, by means of inducible pCW-HA vectors (Fig. 2a and Additional file 2: Fig. S13). Interestingly, we found that the Zn domain, which maintains similar intracellular localization as full length PARP1 (Additional file 2: Fig. S16), recapitulates the effect of full length protein in terms of decrease in Luciferase activity (Fig. 2b), decrease in endogenous BRAF protein level (Fig. 2c), and translation impairment (Fig. 2d). We modeled the complex that PARP1 protein forms with R8 RNA fragment and found two interaction sites that fall within the Zn domain (Fig. 2e and Additional file 2: Fig. S17). In addition, the interaction between Zn domain and X1 3′UTR was confirmed experimentally, by performing RIP-qRT-PCR analysis on the Zn domain (Fig. 2f). Interestingly, a PARP1 catalytic inhibitor such as Olaparib does not affect endogenous BRAF protein level (Additional file 2: Figs. S18, S19). All together, these results indicate that PARP1 requires the Zn domain to bind X1 mRNA and that, contrary to what is known so far about PARP1-mediated regulation of mRNA stability [9], parylation is completely dispensable for PARP1-mediated regulation of X1 mRNA translation.
PARP1 Zn domain is responsible for the negative regulation of BRAF-X1 translation, and inhibits MAPK pathway in vitro and in vivo. a Schematic representation of the functional domains of PARP1 protein (3042 bp, 1014 aa): DNA/RNA Binding domain, which in turn is composed of 3 Zinc Finger motifs (Zn, green); Auto-modification domain (Auto, gray); Catalytic (parylating) domain (Cat, blue). b Luciferase assay in A375 cells. Among the functional domains tested (pCW-HA-Zn (green), pCW-HA-Auto (gray) and pCW-HA-Cat (blue)), only the overexpression of the Zn domain recapitulates the decrease in Luciferase activity of pMIR-X1-3′UTR plasmid, as observed with full length pCW-PARP1 (orange). The assay was performed 48 h after the transfection of the Luciferase plasmids in cells stably infected with the indicated pCW(-HA) vectors, and the induction of protein overexpression with 2ug/ml doxycycline. c Western blot analysis of BRAF protein level in A375 cells stably infected with pCW-CTRL, pCW-HA-Zn, pCW-HA-Auto, pCW-HA-Cat and pCW-PARP1 vectors, 48 h after induction with 2ug/ml doxycycline.

PARP1 is a new player in the regulation of the highly oncogenic MAPK pathway in melanoma. Through the mRNA binding activity of its Zn domain, it negatively regulates the translation of BRAF-X1 isoform, leading to a decrease in MAPK signaling and, consequently, a decrease in cell proliferation/motility accompanied by an increase in sensitivity to MAPKi.

BRAFV600E-X1 downregulation results in a reduction in pMEK, which ultimately affects cellular features such as proliferation and migration [2]. Consistently, we observed that the over-expression of PARP1 Zn domain decreases pMEK levels (Fig. 2g), and impairs cell proliferation (Fig. 2h), as well as cell motility in vitro (Fig. 2i and Additional file 2: Fig. S20) and in a xenograft model in zebrafish (Fig. 2j). Crucially, by detecting no change in γ-H2AX foci, we excluded that Zn domain acts as a dominant negative mutant that is trapped on DNA and triggers DNA damage [7] (Fig. 2k and Additional file 2: Fig. S21). Conversely, in agreement with its role as negative regulator of the MAPK pathway, we found that the Zn domain increases vem-induced ROS (Fig. 2l), hence sensitizes melanoma cells to vem, cob and vem + cob treatment, both in vitro (Fig. 2m, n) and in vivo in a zebrafish xenograft model (Fig. 2o).
In summary, we show that cytoplasmic PARP1 binds BRAF-X1 mRNA and negatively regulates translation (Fig. 2p), in a 3′UTR binding-dependent, but parylation-independent manner. On one side, our results further consolidate the notion that the X1 variant of BRAF is subjected to a tight post-transcriptional regulation, which ultimately has an impact on the output of MAPK pathway. On the other side, our results provide the first example of a specific mRNA whose translation is directly affected by PARP1 mRNA binding activity [10]. Considering that such an mRNA is BRAF-X1, they also unveil how PARP1 sphere of influence extends to the regulation of MAPK pathway, hence prompt to explore whether PARP1 is involved in the pathogenesis of those tumor types that are driven by the hyperactivation of such pathway [11]. In more general terms, our data uncover the oncosuppressive liaison existing between BRAF-X1 3′UTR and PARP1 Zn domain, challenging the definition of BRAFV600E and PARP1 as pure oncogenes that cooperate in melanocyte transformation [12].
