RNA-Seq of osteosarcoma cell lines

ABSTRACT: The Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) pathway stimulates telomere elongation and prevents cellular senescence in approximately 60% of osteosarcoma. While the precise mechanisms underlying the ALT pathway are unclear, mutations in the chromatin remodeling protein ATRX, histone chaperone DAXX, and the histone variant H3.3, correlate with ALT status. ATRX and DAXX facilitate deposition of the histone variant H3.3 within heterochromatic regions including the telomere suggesting that loss of ATRX, DAXX, and/or H3.3 lead to defects in heterochromatin maintenance at telomeres, ultimately contributing to ALT activity. Previous studies have detected genetic mutations in ATRX, DAXX, and H3.3 in ALT cell lines and tumor samples. However, a subset of ALT samples show loss of ATRX or DAXX protein expression or localization without evidence of genetic alterations, indicating a role for other defects in ATRX/DAXX/H3.3 function. Here, using Next Generation Sequencing, we identified a novel gene fusion event between DAXX and the kinesin motor protein, KIFC3, which leads to the translation of a chimeric DAXX-KIFC3 fusion protein. Here, we demonstrate that the fusion of KIFC3 to DAXX leads to defects in DAXX function and likely perpetuates ALT activity. These data highlight a previously unrecognized mechanism of DAXX inactivation in ALT positive osteosarcoma and provide rationale for thorough and comprehensive analyses of ATRX/DAXX/H3.3 proteins in ALT positive cancers.

DAXX Suppression of ALT

Project description:<p>Many tumors maintain chromosome ends through a telomerase-independent, homologous recombination based mechanism called alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). While ALT occurs in only a subset of tumors, it is strongly associated with mutations in the genes encoding components of the histone H3.3 chaperone complex, ATRX and DAXX. To date the mechanistic role of ATRX and particularly DAXX mutations in potentiating ALT remains poorly understood. We identify an osteosarcoma cell line, G292, with a unique chromosomal translocation resulting in loss of DAXX function, while retaining functional ATRX. Using this distinctive resource, we demonstrate that introduction of wild type DAXX suppresses the ALT phenotype and restores localization of the ATRX/DAXX complex to PML bodies. This provides the first direct molecular evidence that ongoing DAXX deficiency is essential for maintenance of the ALT phenotype and highlights the potential for therapeutic targeting of this oncogenic pathway.</p>

DAXX-ATRX-H3.3 Regulation of p53 Chromatin Binding and DNA Damage Response [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:DAXX and ATRX are tumor suppressor proteins that form a complex with histone H3.3 chaperone and are frequently mutated in cancers with the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), such as pediatric glioblastoma. Rapid loss of function of either DAXX or ATRX are not by themselves sufficient to induce the ALT phenotype. However, cells lacking DAXX or ATRX can be readily selected for ALT-like features. Here, we show that a key feature of ALT selected DAXX and ATRX null glioblastoma cells is the attenuation of p53 function. RNA-seq analysis of DAXX or ATRX null U87 glioblastoma cells with ALT-like features revealed that p53 pathway is among perturbed. ALT-selected DAXX and ATRX-null cells had aberrant response to DNA damaging agent etoposide. Both DAXX and ATRX-null ALT cells showed a loss of p53 binding at a subset of response elements. Complementation of DAXX null cells with wt DAXX rescued p53 binding and transcription, while the tumor associated mutation L130R, that disrupts ATRX binding, was incapable of rescuing p53 chromatin binding. We show that histone H3.3 binding is reduced in DAXX-null cells especially at subtelomeric p53 binding sites and telomere repeats. These findings indicate that DAXX and ATRX function to enable p53 chromatin binding through modulation of histone H3.3 binding, especially at sub-telomeric sites.

HIRA protects telomeres against R-loop-induced instability in ALT cancer cells [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Alterations to chromatin modifiers, such as the inactivating mutations in the ATRX-DAXX chromatin remodeling/histone H3.3 deposition complex, are implicated as drivers of the cancer-specific Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) pathway. Prior studies revealed that HIRA adapts to compensate for ATRX-DAXX loss to sustain ALT cancer cell survival. However, the specific mechanisms underlying HIRA’s ability to rescue telomeres from the consequences of ATRX-DAXX loss remain unclear. Here, using ATAC-seq and CUT&RUN, we demonstrate that HIRA-mediated deposition of new H3.3 is essential to maintain chromatin accessibility and to prevent the detrimental accumulation of nucleosome-free single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) at telomeres in ATRX-deficient ALT cancer cells. We provide evidence that the timely deposition of new H3.3 by HIRA and interacting partners UBN1 and UBN2 is crucial to prevent unwarranted TERRA R-loop formation and transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs) at telomeres. Furthermore, we determined that the delivery of H3.3 to telomeric chromatin by HIRA may link the phosphorylation of an H3.3-specific amino acid, serine 31, by Chk1 with mechanisms that promote productive ALT. Therefore, these studies identify a role for HIRA-mediated histone H3.3 deposition in TERRA R-loop homeostasis that we propose is essential for ensuring the survival of ALT cancer cells where the ATRX-DAXX complex is activated.

TIN2 deficiency leads to ALT-associated phenotypes and differentiation defects in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Telomere integrity is critical for embryonic development and core telomere-binding proteins such as TIN2 are key to maintaining telomere stability. Here we report that homozygous Tin2S341X resulted in embryonic lethality in mice and reduced expression of Tin2 in the derived mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Homozygous mutant mESCs were able to self-renew and remain undifferentiated but displayed many phenotypes associated with alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), including excessively long and heterogeneous telomeres, increased ALT-associated PML bodies, and unstable chromosomal ends. These cells also showed upregulation of Zscan4 expression and elevated targeting of DAXX/ATRX and H3K9me3 marks on telomeres. Furthermore, the mutant mESCs were impeded in their differentiation capacity. Upon differentiation, DAXX/ATRX and PML bodies disassociated from telomeres in these cells, where elevated DNA damage was also apparent. Our results reveal differential responses to telomere dysfunction in mESCs versus differentiated cells and highlight the critical role of TIN2 in embryonic development.

Proteomics of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation uncovers a role for HIRA in the chromatin adaptation at ALT telomeres

Project description:The synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) reconfigures the local environment and recruits repair complexes to damaged chromatin. The degradation of PAR by PARG is essential for progression and completion of DNA repair. Here, we show that inhibition of PARG disrupts homology-directed repair (HDR) mechanisms that underpin alternative telomere lengthening (ALT). By proteomics, we uncovered a novel role for PARylation in regulating the chromatin assembly factor, HIRA in ALT cancer cells. We show that HIRA is enriched at telomeres during G2 phase and is indispensable for histone H3.3 deposition and telomere DNA synthesis. Depletion of HIRA elicits systemic death of ALT cancer cells was mitigated by re-expression of ATRX protein that is frequently inactivated in ALT tumors. We propose that PARylation enables HIRA to fulfill its essential role in the adaptive response due to ATRX deficiency that pervades ALT cancers.

Structural and mechanistic insights into ATRX-dependent and –independent functions of the histone chaperone DAXX [RNA-seq]

Project description:The histone variant H3.3 is incorporated in a replication-independent manner at heterochromatic regions by the ATRX-DAXX histone chaperone complex. Here, we present a high-resolution x-ray crystal structure of an interaction surface between ATRX and DAXX. We used single amino acid substitutions in DAXX that abrogate formation of the complex to explore ATRX-dependent and -independent functions of DAXX. We found that the repression of specific murine endogenous retroviruses is dependent on DAXX, but not on ATRX. In support, we reveal the existence of two biochemically distinct DAXX-containing complexes: The ATRX-DAXX complex involved in gene repression and telomere chromatin structure, and a DAXX-SETDB1-KAP1-HDAC1 complex that represses endogenous retroviruses independently of ATRX and H3.3 incorporation into chromatin. We found that histone H3.3 stabilizes DAXX protein levels and affects DAXX-regulated genes independently of its incorporation into nucleosomes. Our findings represent the first description of a nucleosome-independent function for the H3.3 histone variant.
