ING1 inhibits Twist1 expression to block EMT and is antagonized by the HDAC inhibitor vorinostat

ING1 is a chromatin targeting subunit of the Sin3a histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex that alters chromatin structure to subsequently regulate gene expression. We find that ING1 knockdown increases expression of Twist1, Zeb 1&2, Snai1, Bmi1 and TSHZ1 drivers of EMT, promoting EMT and cell motili...

description ING1 is a chromatin targeting subunit of the Sin3a histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex that alters chromatin structure to subsequently regulate gene expression. We find that ING1 knockdown increases expression of Twist1, Zeb 1&2, Snai1, Bmi1 and TSHZ1 drivers of EMT, promoting EMT and cell motility. ING1 expression had the opposite effect, promoting epithelial cell morphology and inhibiting basal and TGF-β-induced motility in 3D organoid cultures. ING1 binds the Twist1 promoter and Twist1 was largely responsible for the ability of ING1 to reduce cell migration. Consistent with ING1 inhibiting Twist1 expression in vivo, an inverse relationship between ING1 and Twist1 levels was seen in breast cancer samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The HDAC inhibitor vorinostat is approved for treatment of multiple myeloma and cutaneous T cell lymphoma and is in clinical trials for solid tumours as adjuvant therapy. One molecular target of vorinostat is INhibitor of Growth 2 (ING2), that together with ING1 serve as targeting subunits of the Sin3a HDAC complex. Treatment with sublethal (LD25-LD50) levels of vorinostat promoted breast cancer cell migration several-fold, which increased further upon ING1 knockout. These observations indicate that correct targeting of the Sin3a HDAC complex, and HDAC activity in general decreases luminal and basal breast cancer cell motility, suggesting that use of HDAC inhibitors as adjuvant therapies in breast cancers that are prone to metastasize may not be optimal and requires further investigation.
