Epigenetic encoding, heritability and plasticity of glioma transcriptional cell states

ABSTRACT: Single cell RNA-sequencing revealed extensive transcriptional cell state diversity in cancer, often observed independently from genetic heterogeneity, raising the central question of how malignant cell states are encoded epigenetically. To address this, we performed multi-omics single-cell profiling Ã¢Â€Â“ integrating DNA methylation, transcriptome, and genotyping within the same cells Ã¢Â€Â“ of diffuse gliomas, tumors governed by defined transcriptional cell state diversity. Direct comparison of the epigenetic profiles of distinct cell states revealed key switches for state transitions recapitulating neurodevelopmental trajectories, and highlighted dysregulated epigenetic mechanisms underlying gliomagenesis. We further developed a quantitative framework to measure cell state heritability and transition dynamics based on high resolution lineage trees directly in human samples. We demonstrated heritability of malignant cell states, with key differences in hierarchal vs. plastic cell state architectures in IDH-mutant glioma vs. IDH-wildtype glioblastoma, respectively. This work provides a novel framework anchoring transcriptional cancer cell states in their epigenetic encoding, inheritance and transition dynamics.

Defining heritability, plasticity, and transition dynamics of cellular phenotypes in somatic evolution

Project description:Single-cell sequencing has revealed cell state heterogeneity across diverse healthy and malignant tissues. However, the extent these cell states are plastic or heritable remains largely unknown. To address this, we introduce PATH (Phylogenetic Analysis of Trait Heritability), a framework to quantify cell state heritability versus plasticity and infer cell state transition and proliferation dynamics from single-cell lineage tracing data. Here, we used PATH to measure phylogenetic correlations on single-cell phylogenies derived from gliomaspheres to reveal the somatic evolutionary relationships between Neural Progenitor-like (NPC), Oligodendrocyte Progenitor-like (OPC), Astrocyte-like (AC), and Mesenchymal-like (MES) cancer cell states.

RNA-seq of mouse embryonic stem cell states expressing Esrrb, Tbx3, and Zscan4

Project description:We develop a theoretical-computational framework for inferring cell state transition dynamics, and apply it to mouse embryonic stem cells states defined by expression levels of Esrrb, Tbx3, and Zscan4. RNA-seq was performed to characterize the larger transcriptional differences between states expressing combinations of these three specific genes, and proceed to explore their dynamic interconversion.

A NOTCH feed-forward loop drives reprogramming from adrenergic to mesenchymal state in neuroblastoma.

Project description:Transition between differentiation states in development occurs swift but the mechanisms leading to epigenetic and transcriptional reprogramming are poorly understood. The pediatric cancer neuroblastoma includes adrenergic (ADRN) and mesenchymal (MES) tumor cell types, which differ in phenotype, super-enhancers (SEs) and core regulatory circuitries. These cell types can spontaneously interconvert, but the mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we unravel how a NOTCH3 intracellular domain reprogrammed the ADRN transcriptional landscape towards a MES state. A transcriptional feed-forward circuitry of NOTCH-family transcription factors amplifies the NOTCH signaling levels, explaining the swift transition between two semi-stable cellular states. This transition induces genome-wide remodeling of the H3K27ac landscape and a switch from ADRN SEs to MES SEs. Once established, the NOTCH feed-forward loop maintains the induced MES state. In vivo reprogramming of ADRN cells shows that MES and ADRN cells are equally oncogenic. Our results elucidate a swift transdifferentiation between two semi-stable epigenetic cellular states.

Large-Scale Atlas of Mutant IDH1-Dependent Chromatin State Reprogramming, Reversibility, and Persistence [RNA-seq]

Project description:Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) mutations drive the development of gliomas and other human malignancies. Significant efforts are already underway to attempt to target mutant IDH in clinical trials. However, how mutation of IDH leads to tumorigenesis is poorly understood. Mutant IDH1 promotes epigenetic changes that promote tumorigenesis but the scale of these changes throughout the epigenome and the reversibility of these changes are unknown. Here, using both human astrocyte and glioma tumorsphere systems, we generate a large-scale atlas of mutant IDH1-induced epigenomic reprogramming. We characterize the changes in the histone code landscape, DNA methylome, chromatin state, and transcriptional reprogramming that occur following IDH1 mutation and characterize the kinetics and reversibility of these alterations over time. We discover coordinate changes in the localization and intensity of multiple histone marks and chromatin states throughout the genome. These alterations result in systematic chromatin states changes, which result in widespread gene expression changes involving oncogenic pathways. Specifically, mutant IDH1 drives alterations in differentiation state and establishes a CD24+ population that features enhanced self-renewal and other stem-like properties. Strikingly, prolonged exposure to mutant IDH1 results in irreversible genomic and epigenetic alterations. Together, these observations provide unprecedented molecular portraits of mutant IDH1-dependent epigenomic reprogramming at high resolution. These findings have significant implications for our understanding the mechanisms underlying mutant IDH function and for optimizing therapeutic approaches to targeting IDH mutant tumors.
