Chromatin remodeling factor metastatic tumor protein 1 (MTA1), one of the most upregulated oncogene in human cancer, has an important role in gene expression, cell survival and promoting hypoxic response. Successful cancer progression is dependent on the ability of cells to utilize its survival pathways for adapting to hypoxic microenvironment. Although MTA1 is a stress-responsive gene, but whether hypoxia modulates its function and its role in engaging other core stress-responsive survival pathway(s) remains unknown. Here we have discovered that MTA1 is a novel corepressor of serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1). Surprisingly, this regulatory corepressive function of MTA1 is lost under hypoxia, allowing upregulation of SGK1 expression and engaging the MTA1–SGK1 axis for the benefit of the cell survival. The underlying mechanism of the noticed stimulation of SGK1 expression by hypoxia includes de-repression of SGK1transcription because of hypoxia-triggered nucleus-to-cytoplasmic translocation of MTA1. In addition, the newly recognized cytoplasmic translocation of MTA1 was dependent on the chaperoning function of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and co-accompanied by the formation of MTA1, HSP90 and HIF1α complex under hypoxic condition but not under normoxic condition. Hypoxia-triggered redistribution of MTA1, SGK1 upregulation and cell survival functions were compromised by a pharmacological SGK1 inhibitor. In summary, for the first time, we report MTA1 regulation of SGK1 expression, hypoxia-dependent MTA1 translocation to the cytoplasm and de-repression of SGK1transcription. These findings illustrate how cancer cells utilize a chromatin remodeling factor to engage a core survival pathway to support its cancerous phenotypes, and reveal new facets of MTA1–SGK1 axis by a physiologic signal in cancer progression. |
