CD99 inhibits neural differentiation of human Ewing sarcoma cells

ABSTRACT: Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is an aggressive bone tumor of uncertain cellular origin. CD99 is a membrane protein that is expressed in most cases of EWS, although its function in the disease is unknown. Here we have shown that endogenous CD99 expression modulates EWS tumor differentiation and malignancy. We determined that knocking down CD99 expression in human EWS cell lines reduced their ability to form tumors and bone metastases when xenografted into immunodeficient mice and diminished their tumorigenic characteristics in vitro. Further, reduction of CD99 expression resulted in neurite outgrowth and increased expression of β-III tubulin and markers of neural differentiation. Analysis of a panel of human EWS cells revealed an inverse correlation between CD99 and H-neurofilament expression, as well as an inverse correlation between neural differentiation and oncogenic transformation. As knockdown of CD99 also led to an increase in phosphorylation of ERK1/2, we suggest that the CD99-mediated prevention of neural differentiation of EWS occurs through MAPK pathway modulation. Together, these data indicate a new role for CD99 in preventing neural differentiation of EWS cells and suggest that blockade of CD99 or its downstream molecular pathway may be a new therapeutic approach for EWS.

CD99 modulates the proteomic landscape of Ewing sarcoma cells and related-extracellular vesicles.

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is an aggressive pediatric bone tumor characterized by unmet clinical needs and an incompletely understood epigenetic heterogeneity. Here we considered CD99, a major surface molecule hallmark of EWS malignancy. Fluctuations of CD99 expression strongly impair cell dissemination, differentiation, and death. CD99 is also loaded within extracellular vesicles (EVs) and the delivery of CD99 positive or CD99 negative EVs dynamically exerts oncogenic or oncosuppressive functions to recipient cells, respectively. We undertook mass spectrometry and functional annotation analysis to investigate the consequences of CD99 silencing on the proteomic landscape of EWS cells and related EVs. Our data demonstrate that i. the decrease of CD99 leads to major changes in the proteomic profile of EWS cells and EVs; ii. intracellular and extracellular compartments display two distinct signatures of differentially expressed proteins; iii. proteomic changes converge to the modulation of cell migration and immune-modulation biological processes; iv. CD99-silenced cells and related EVs are characterized by a migration-suppressive, pro-immunostimulatory proteomic profile. Overall, our data provide a novel source of CD99-associated protein biomarkers to be considered for further validation as mediators of EWS malignancy and as EWS disease liquid biopsy markers.

CD99 triggering induces a novel processes of death in Ewing's sarcoma cells involving reactivation of p53 functions and RAS upregulation.

Project description:CD99 is a transmembrane protein, whose expression is constantly associated to EwingM-bM-^@M-^Ys Sarcoma (EWS), a class of pediatric bone tumors with particular poor prognosis. We previously reported that engagement of CD99 leads to massive and rapid EWS cell death through a non-canonical path. Here we report that death occurs through a novel mechanism starting from classical apoptotic features, such as phosphatydilserine exposure on cell surface and mitochondrial depolarization and ending with massive cytoplasmic hypervacuolization (autophagosomes and micropinosomes). Mechanistically, CD99 induces upregulation of IGFI-R and RAS and rapid MDM2 degradation, which leads to p53 reactivation. We propose that upon CD99 engagement and subsequent p53 reactivation, the EWS-ets oncogene becomes insufficient to sustain EWS transformation; in this context, up-regulated RAS, deprived of a cooperating oncogenic stimulus, might contribute to the delivery of fatal rather than pro-survival signal. The most CD99-responsive EWS cells have either wild type or transcriptional active P53, though mutated, and greatly benefit from MDM2 degradation. Due to the low rate of P53 inactivating mutations in EWS patients, these findings sustain CD99-targeting with specific MAbs either to directly kill EWS cells or to increase sensitivity to chemotherapy. By recruiting also RAS, CD99 delivers a signal which exceeds that of drugs designed exclusive to reactivate p53 functions, besides being easily druggable Ewing Sarcoma cell lines 6647 control or treated with the anti-CD99 0662 MAb were profiled to discover mechanisms related to CD99 targeting. Treated cells were compared to control cells after 30, 60 and 120 minutes of exposure to 0662 (10M-BM-5g/ml); all treatments are in duplicate.

CD99 contributes to the EWS:FLI transcriptome by specifically affecting FOXM1-targets involved in the G2/M cell cycle phase

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EwS), a highly aggressive malignancies affecting children and young adults, is primarily driven by a distinctive oncogenic fusion (EWSR1-ETS), whose activity is a principal source of epigenetic and clinical heterogeneity. However, another molecule (CD99) is constantly present in EWS cells. Despite the fact that this molecule is widely reported to modulate EWS genetic profile and tumor malignancy, the relevance of CD99 alone or in association with the chimera has been largely ignored. In this study, we explored the dynamic relationship between EWS::FLI1, the main fusion observed in EWS, and CD99 through experimental inducible models for the expression of one or the other molecule. The transcriptome of cells with or without expression of EWS::FLI or CD99 were analyzed in dynamics and associated with in tumor cell growth. CD99-associated EWS gene profile was found to have commonalities with that induced by EWS::FLI but also some peculiar diversities. In particular, both EWS::FLI and CD99 regulates targets of the DREAM complex but CD99 expression specifically impacts on those genes that are targets of FOXM1 and involved in the setting of G2/M phase of cell cycle. Most of these CD99-regulated genes were found to be associated to worst clinical prognosis in two different clinical datasets on the freely available R2 platform , further supporting the clinical relevance of CD99-mediated regulation of EWS gene expression.

Exosomes from CD99-deprived Ewing sarcoma cells reverse tumor malignancy by inhibiting cell migration and promoting neural differentiation

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is an aggressive mesenchymal tumor with unmet clinical need and significant social impacts on children, adolescents and young adults. CD99, a hallmark surface molecule of EWS, participates in crucial biological processes including cell migration, differentiation and death. EWS cells can release CD99 through exosomes, specialized extracellular vesicles with major cell communication roles. Here we show that, as a consequence of CD99 silencing, EWS cells deliver exosomes with oncosuppressive functions which significantly reduce tumor aggressiveness. These CD99-lacking microvesicles modulate gene expression of the EWS recipient cells, reduce proliferation and migration, in turn inducing a more differentiated less malignant phenotype. The most relevant effects were detected on the AP-1 signaling pathway whose regulation was found to be dependent on the specific cargo loaded in vesicles after CD99 shutdown. Investigation of the miRNA content of CD99-deprived exosomes identified miR-199a-3p as a key driver to reverse EWS malignancy in experimental models as well as in clinical specimens. All together our data provide evidence that the abrogation of CD99 in EWS tumor cells leads to produce and release exosomes capable to transfer their antineoplastic effects into the nearby tumor cells, suggesting a novel atypical role for these microvesicles in reversion of malignancy rather than in priming the soil for progression and metastatic seeding. This conceptually innovative approach might offer a new therapeutic opportunity to treat a tumor still refractory to most treatments.

Proteolytic processing of CD99

Project description:The adhesion molecule CD99 is essential for transendothelial migration (TEM) of leukocytes. Here we demonstrate by biochemical and cellular assays that CD99 undergoes ectodomain shedding by the metalloprotease meprin β and subsequent intramembrane proteolysis by γ-secretase. The cleavage site in CD99 was identified by mass spectrometry within an acidic region highly conserved through different vertebrate species.
