Project description:Recent single-cell transcriptomic studies report that IDH-mutant gliomas share a common hierarchy of cellular phenotypes, independent of genetic subtype. However, the genetic differences between IDH-mutant glioma subtypes are prognostic, predictive of response to chemotherapy, and correlate with distinct tumor microenvironments. To reconcile these findings, we profiled 22 human IDH-mutant gliomas via single-cell assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (scATAC-seq). We determined the cell-type specific differences in transcription-factor expression and associated regulatory grammars between IDH-mutant glioma subtypes. We find that while IDH-mutant gliomas do share a common distribution of cell types, there are significant differences in the expression and targeting of transcription factors that regulate glial identity and cytokine elaboration. We knocked out the chromatin-remodeler ATRX, which suffers loss-of-function alterations in most IDH-mutant astrocytomas, in an IDH-mutant immunocompetent intracranial murine model. We find that both human ATRX-mutant gliomas and murine ATRX-knockout gliomas are more heavily infiltrated by immunosuppressive monocytic-lineage cells derived from circulation than ATRX-intact gliomas, in an IDH-mutant background. ATRX knockout in murine glioma recapitulates gene expression and open-chromatin signatures that are specific to human ATRX-mutant astrocytomas, including drivers of astrocytic lineage and immune-cell chemotaxis. ATRX knockout in murine glioma recapitulates gene expression and open chromatin signatures that are specific to human ATRX-mutant astrocytomas, including drivers of astrocytic lineage and immune-cell chemotaxis. Through single-cell cleavage under targets and tagmentation assays and meta-analysis of public data, we show that ATRX loss leads to a global depletion in CCCTC-binding factor association with DNA, gene dysregulation along associated chromatin loops, and protection from therapy-induced senescence.

Project description:Gliomas are immunologically cold tumors that can be broken into several categories based on either RNA expression profiles or methylation profiles, with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations defining a major segregration between types. IDH mutant gliomas often exhibit defects in the retinoic acid pathway. We treated mice harboring IDH mutant gliomas with all-trans retinoic acid, and found that this treatment cause reductions in tumor growth and a swith in immune profiles in the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:We perform high-throughput single-nucleus RNA and ATAC sequencing (snRNA- and snATAC-seq) on primary IDH mutant gliomas and snRNA-seq on a cohort of primary and recurrent IDH mutant glioma pairs to comprehensively resolve tumor diversity and TAM states. Our results resemble previously described differentiation hierarchies, but also reveal a novel group of epigenetically and transcriptionally distinct non-cycling stem-like tumor cells in diffuse gliomas. Further, we identify significant transcriptional differences in TAM states between oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas, with a notable interaction between immunosuppressive TAMs and astrocytic tumor subpopulations in astrocytomas. These results suggest that TAM-tumor interactions may contribute to the clinical course of oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas.

Project description:Gain-of-function IDH mutations define major clinical and prognostic classes of gliomas. Mutant IDH protein produces a novel onco-metabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), that interferes with iron-dependent hydroxylase enzymes, including the TET family of 5'-methylcytosine hydroxylases. TET enzymes are critical for the dynamic regulation of DNA methylation. IDH mutant gliomas thus manifest a CpG island methylator phenotype (G-CIMP), though the functional significance of this altered epigenetic state remains unclear. Here we show that IDH1 mutant gliomas exhibit hyper-methylation at CTCF binding sites, leading to reduced binding of this methylation-sensitive insulator protein. Loss of CTCF binding is associated with a loss of insulation between topological domains and aberrant gene activation. We specifically demonstrate that loss of CTCF at a domain boundary permits a constitutive enhancer to aberrantly interact with the receptor tyrosine kinase gene PDGFRA, a prominent glioma oncogene. Treatment of IDH mutant gliomaspheres with demethylating agent partially restores insulator function and reduces PDGFRA expression. Conversely, CRISPR-mediated disruption of the CTCF binding sequence in IDH wildtype gliomaspheres induces PDGFRA expression and increases proliferation. Our study suggests that IDH mutations promote gliomagenesis by disrupting chromosomal topology and allowing aberrant regulatory interactions that induce oncogene expression. CTCF occupancy characterization and histone H3K27 acetylation profiling in IDH1 mutant and wild-type glioma patient specimens and culture models. ChIP-seq raw data is to be made available through dbGaP (controlled access) due to patient privacy concerns.

Project description:Intratumoral microglia and MΦ constitute up to 70% of the tumor mass of high-grade gliomas (HGG) with profound impact on hallmarks of malignancy such as angiogenesis and immunosuppression. The dynamics and functional states of intratumoral myeloid cells during tumor progression and the molecular mechanisms controlling them are poorly understood. Here we define homeostatic and antigen-presenting myeloid cellular states in experimental and human HGG by longitudinal single-cell RNA-sequencing and combined transcriptome and proteome profiling, respectively. During glioma progression, myeloid cells gradually shift from a homeostatic to a tumor-associated effector state. We show that these dynamics are under strict control by early changes in resident microglia and the tumor genotype: In gliomas with mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), a disease-defining driver mutation, differentiation of invaded myeloid cells was blocked resulting in an immature, immunosuppressive phenotype. In late-stage IDH-mutant gliomas, monocyte-derived MΦ drive a tolerogenic remodeling of the glioma microenvironment thus preventing T-cell response. We define the molecular mechanism responsible for blocking functional differentiation in IDH-mutant gliomas to be causally related to enhanced metabolization of tryptophan to kynurenine, an endogenous ligand of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), leading to a time-dependent uptake of extracellular tryptophan via LAT1-CD98 by intratumoral myeloid cells. Consequently, the immunosuppressive phenotype in IDH-mutant glioma models was reversed by pharmacologic inhibition of LAT1-CD98 or AHR. Thus, we provide evidence for a tumor genotype-dependent dynamic network of resident and recruited intratumoral myeloid cells shaping the immune microenvironment of IDH-mutant HGG and identify tryptophan metabolism as a viable therapeutic target for the immunotherapy of IDH-mutant tumors.

Project description:Oncogenic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-1 and -2 occur in a wide range of cancers, including acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) and gliomas1-3. Mutant IDH enzymes convert 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) to (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate [(R)-2HG]4,5, an oncometabolite that induces cellular transformation by dysregulating 2OG-dependent enzymes. The only direct target of (R)-2HG known to contribute to transformation is the 5-methylcytosine hydroxylase TET2, and there is ample evidence to suggest that (R)-2HG drives leukemogenesis at least in part by inhibiting TET26,7. However, IDH mutations, but not TET2 mutations, are specifically associated with aggressive hematologic diseases, suggesting that (R)-2HG has targets other than TET2 that contribute to mutant IDH-mediated transformation. Here, we report that (R)-2HG directly inhibits KDM5 histone lysine demethylases in IDH-mutant AMLs and gliomas to induce cellular transformation. These studies provide a functional link between dysregulation of histone lysine methylation and tumorigenesis in IDH-mutant cancers.

Project description:Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 (IDH1/2) define glioma subtypes and are 38 considered primary events in gliomagenesis, impacting tumor epigenetics and metabolism. 39 IDH enzymes are crucial for the generation of reducing potential, yet the impact of the mutation 40 on the cellular antioxidant system is not understood. Here, we investigate how glutathione 41 (GSH) levels are maintained in IDH1 mutant gliomas, despite an altered NADPH/NADP 42 balance. We find that IDH1 mutant astrocytomas specifically upregulate cystathionine γ-lyase 43 (CSE), the enzyme responsible for cysteine production upstream of GSH biosynthesis. Genetic 44 and chemical interference with CSE in patient-derived glioma cells carrying the endogenous 45 IDH1 mutation, sensitized tumor cells to cysteine depletion, an effect not observed in IDH1 46 wild-type gliomas. This correlated with reduced GSH synthesis as shown by in vitro and in vivo 47 serine tracing and led to delayed tumor growth in mice. Thus we show that IDH1 mutant 48 astrocytic gliomas critically rely on NADPH-independent de novo GSH synthesis to maintain 49 the antioxidant defense, which uncovers a novel metabolic vulnerability in this dismal disease.
