Abstract :
[en] Germline variants in the NSD1 gene are responsible for Sotos syndrome, while somatic variants promote neoplastic cell transformation. Our previous studies revealed three alternative RNA isoforms of NSD1 present in fibroblast cell lines (FBs): the canonical full transcript and 2 alternative transcripts, termed AT2 (NSD1 Δ5Δ7) and AT3 (NSD1 Δ19-23 at the 5' end). The precise molecular pathways affected by each specific isoform of NSD1 are uncharacterized to date. To elucidate the role of these isoforms, their expression was suppressed by siRNA knockdown in FBs and protein expression and transcriptome data was explored. We demonstrate that one gene target of NSD1 isoform AT2 is ARP3 actin-related protein 3 homolog B (ACTR3B). We show that loss of both canonical NSD1 and AT2 isoforms impaired the ability of fibroblasts to regulate the actin cytoskeleton, and we observed that this caused selective loss of stress fibers. Our findings provide novel insights into NSD1 function by distinguishing isoform function and demonstrating an essential role of NSD1 in regulating the actin cytoskeleton and stress fiber formation in fibroblasts.
