Neuroblastoma and adrenal gland single-cell study

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the developing sympathetic nervous system. However, the cellular origin of neuroblastoma remains to be defined. Here, we study single-cell transcriptomes of neuroblastomas and normal human developing adrenal glands at various stages of embryonic and fetal development. We define normal differentiation trajectories during adrenal medullary development and identify the cellular origin of neuroblastoma. Importantly, adrenergic and mesenchymal neuroblastomas with varying clinical phenotypes match different temporal states along normal differentiation trajectories, with the degree of differentiation corresponding to clinical prognosis.

Single cell RNA seq of the developing murine adrenal gland reveals correlation of Schwann cell precursor signature to neuroblastoma phenotype.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor and accounts for ~10% of pediatric cancer-related deaths. The exact cell-of-origin has yet to be elucidated, but it is generally accepted that neuroblastoma derives from the neural crest and should thus be considered an embryonal malignancy. About 50% of primary neuroblastoma tumors arise in the adrenal gland. Here we present an atlas of the developing mouse adrenal gland at a single cell level. Five main cell cluster groups (medulla, cortex, endothelial, stroma and immune) make up the mouse adrenal gland during fetal development. The medulla group, which is of neural crest origin, is further divided into seven clusters. Of interest is the Schwann cell precursor (SCP) and the neuroblast cluster, a highly cycling cluster that shares markers with sympathoblasts. The signature of the medullary SCP cluster differentiates neuroblastoma patients based on disease phenotype: the SCP signature score anti- correlates with ALK and MYCN expression, two indicators of poor prognosis. Furthermore, a high SCP signature score is associated with better overall survival rates. This study provides an insight in the developing adrenal gland and introduces the SCP gene signature as being of interest for further research in understanding neuroblastoma phenotype.

MOXD1 is a gate-keeper of organ homeostasis and functions as a tumor-suppressor in neuroblastoma

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer believed to result from dysfunctional development. Its origin during embryogenesis remains poorly understood. The lack of appropriate models has hindered in-depth mapping of early tumor-driving events. Here, we identify a novel tumor suppressor gene associating with worse outcome in MOXD1-deprived high-risk patients, by applying bulk and single cell RNA sequencing data of neuroblastoma and human fetal adrenal glands. Trunk neural crest-specific MOXD1 discriminates cell populations during normal and tumor development, with implications for deciphering neuroblastoma cell origin. We created an embryonic conditional knockout model and show that cell type-specific loss of MOXD1 leads to disrupted organ homeostasis and failed adrenal gland formation, home for neuroblastoma. We show that MOXD1 is a tumor suppressor gene in zebrafish, chick, and mice in vivo models.

Developmental programs in childhood neuroblastoma [scRNA-seq SK-N-AS]

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the developing sympathetic nervous system. We investigate the developmental origin of neuroblastoma, the role of oncogenic MYCN in blocking normal differentiation and evaluate therapeutic interventions to overcome differentiation blocks. Here, we provide single cell expression profiles (scRNA-seq MARS-seq) of SK-N-AS cells (n=603).

RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of mouse sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells

Project description:Adrenal chromaffin cells and sympathetic neuron are derived from neural crest precursors and both cell types can give rise to childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. However only limited is known about the mechanism of their development. Better understanding of their transcriptomic profiles during development could gives an insight into the cell fates acquisition as well as the origin of neuroblastoma. Yellow fluorescent protein expressing sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells were isolated from E12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mouse embryos by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Transcriptomic profiles of sympathetic neuroblasts and adrenal chromaffin cells from embryonic age (E)12.5 TH-IRES-Cre;ROSA26-EYFP mice were generated by RNA sequencing, in four paired biological replicates.

GRHL1 acts as a tumor suppressor in neuroblastoma and is negatively regulated by MYCN and HDAC3

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonic solid tumor of neural crest origin and accounts for 11% of all cancer-related deaths in children. Novel therapeutic strategies are therefore urgently required. MYCN oncogene amplification, which occurs in 20% of neuroblastomas, is a hallmark of high risk. Here we aimed to exploit molecular mechanisms that can be pharmacologically addressed with epigenetically modifying drugs, such as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. GRHL1, a gene critical for Drosophila neural development, belonged to the genes most strongly responding to HDAC inhibitor treatment of neuroblastoma cells in a genome- wide screen. An increase in the histone H4 pan-acetylation associated with its promoter preceded transcriptional activation. Physically adjacent, HDAC3 and MYCN co-localized to the GRHL1 promoter and repressed its transcription. High-level GRHL1 expression in primary neuroblastomas correlated on transcriptional and translational levels with favorable patient survival and established clinical and molecular markers for favorable tumor biology, including lack of MYCN amplification. Enforced GRHL1 expression in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells with low endogenous GRHL1 levels abrogated anchorage-independent colony formation, inhibited proliferation and retarded xenograft growth in mice. GRHL1 regulated 170 genes genome-wide, and most were involved in pathways regulated during neuroblastomagenesis, including nervous system development, proliferation, cell-cell adhesion, cell spreading and cellular differentiation. In summary, the data presented here indicate a significant role of HDAC3 in the MYCN-mediated repression of GRHL1 and suggest drugs that block HDAC3 activity and suppress MYCN expression as promising candidates for novel treatment strategies of high-risk neuroblastoma. Twelve samples were analyzed. Each 2 replicated of paired empty vector control and GRHL1 forced expression at 3 different time points.

Phosphoproteome and gene expression profiling of ALK inhibition in neuroblastoma cells lines reveals conserved oncogenic pathways

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a neural crest-derived embryonal tumor or the postganglionic sympathetic nervous system. Neuroblastomas show heterogeneous biologic and clinical features and , whereas a subset may undergo spontaneous differentiation or regression with little or no therapy, the majorities are difficult to cure with current modalities. The origin of these tumours remains unknown in most cases, although a number of familial cases have been associated with mutations of the ALK gene. In this study we established both phosphoproteomic and gene expression profiles of ALK activity in neuroblastoma cells exposed to first and third generation ALK TKIs, to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify relevant biomarkers, signaling networks, and new therapeutic targets.

Complexity and tumor potential of human embryonic sympatho-adrenal area including neural crest and mesodermal derivatives

Project description:We addressed heterogeneity of neural crest- and mesoderm-derived lineages developing into adrenal glands, kidneys, endothelium and hematopoietic tissue for understanding transitions, integration and tumor-initiating states between week 6 and 14 of human development. We identified new transitions connecting intermediate mesoderm and progenitors of organ primordia, hematopoietic system and endothelial subtypes. Unexpectedly, we revealed that in humans, contrary to mice, nerve-associated Schwann cell precursors give rise to highly-proliferative sympathoblasts within adrenal gland, which in turn could transit into neuroendocrine chromaffin cells. The analysis of cell state signatures in relation to survival curves of patients suggested Schwann cell precursor-derived sympathoadrenal subtypes as origin for different neuroblastoma tumors.

SOX11 regulates SWI/SNF complex components as member of the adrenergic neuroblastoma core regulatory circuitry [Cut & Run]

Project description:The pediatric extra-cranial tumor neuroblastoma displays a low mutational burden while recurrent copy number alterations are present in most high-risk cases. We identify SOX11 as a dependency transcription factor in adrenergic neuroblastoma based on recurrent chromosome 2p focal gains and amplifications, specific expression in the normal sympatho-adrenal lineage and adrenergic neuroblastoma, regulation by multiple adrenergic specific (super-)enhancers and strong dependency on high SOX11 expression in adrenergic neuroblastomas. SOX11 regulated direct targets include genes implicated in epigenetic control, cytoskeleton and neurodevelopment. Most notably, SOX11 controls chromatin regulatory complexes, including 10 SWI/SNF core components among which SMARCC1, SMARCA4/BRG1 and ARID1A. Additionally, the histone deacetylase HDAC2, PRC1 complex component CBX2, chromatin-modifying enzyme KDM1A/LSD1 and pioneer factor c-MYB are regulated by SOX11. Finally, SOX11 is identified as a core transcription factor of the core regulatory circuitry (CRC) in adrenergic high-risk neuroblastoma with a potential role as epigenetic master regulator upstream of the CRC.
