ARTICLE ABSTRACT

Polycomb chromobox (CBX) proteins participate in the polycomb repressive complex (PRC1) that mediates epigenetic gene silencing and endows PRC1 with distinct oncogenic or tumor suppressor functions in a cell-type–dependent manner. In this study, we report that inhibition of cell migration, invasion, and metastasis in colorectal carcinoma requires CBX4-mediated repression of Runx2, a key transcription factor that promotes colorectal carcinoma metastasis. CBX4 inversely correlated with Runx2 expression in colorectal carcinoma tissues, and the combination of high CBX4 expression and low Runx2 expression significantly correlated with overall survival, more so than either CBX4 or Runx2 expression alone. Mechanistically, CBX4 maintained recruited histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) to the Runx2 promoter, which maintained a deacetylated histone H3K27 state to suppress Runx2 expression. This function of CBX4 was dependent on its interaction with HDAC3, but not on its SUMO E3 ligase, its chromodomain, or the PRC1 complex. Disrupting the CBX4–HDAC3 interaction abolished Runx2 inhibition as well as the inhibition of cell migration and invasion. Collectively, our data show that CBX4 may act as a tumor suppressor in colorectal carcinoma, and strategies that stabilize the interaction of CBX4 with HDAC3 may benefit the colorectal carcinoma patients with metastases.
