Project description:Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is an aggressive soft tissue malignant tumor characterized by a unique t(12; 22) translocation, leading to the expression of a chimeric EWS/ATF1 fusion gene. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying how EWS/ATF1 is involved in the development of CCSs. In addition, the cells of origin for CCSs remain to be determined. We generated EWS/ATF1-inducible mice, and examined the effects of EWS/ATF1 expression in adult cells. We show that the forced expression of EWS/ATF1 results in the development of EWS/ATF1-dependent sarcomas in mice. The histology of EWS/ATF1-induced sarcomas resembles that of CCSs and EWS/ATF1-induced tumor cells express CCS-markers, such as S100, Sox10, and Mitf. A lineage tracing experiment revealed that such sarcomas are derived from neural crest-lineage cells. Finally, we found that EWS/ATF1 directly induces Fos in an ERK-independent manner, and demonstrated that the increased Fos expression is important for the active cell proliferation in not only EWS/ATF1-induced sarcomas, but also in human CCSs. Our results indicate that FOS, as well as EWS/ATF1 itself, could be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of EWS/ATF1-related sarcomas. Tumor cell lines were exposed to different concentrations of doxycycline, and total RNAs were isolated at 24 hours after the doxycycline exposure. Total RNAs were also isolated directly from a tumor developed in a EWS/ATF1-inducible mouse given doxycycline for 3 months. The doxycycline concentration and time point for each sample is EWS-ATF1_control; 0 microg/ml (no dox), 24 hours after the exposure, EWS-ATF1_24h_highDox; 0.2 microg/ml, 24 hours after the exposure and EWS-ATF1_tumor1; a tumor was resected from a EWS/ATF1-inducible mouse given doxycycline for 3 months.

Tumor cell lines were established from soft tissue sarcomas in EWS/ATF1-induced mice. Because these cell lines contain doxycycline-inducible EWS/ATF1 alleles, EWS/ATF1 expression can be regulated by the different concentrations of doxycycline. Tumor cell lines were exposed to different concentrations of doxycycline, and total RNAs were isolated at 3 and 48 hours after the doxycycline exposure.

Project description:Here we present the study on ChIP-chip mapping of the genomic binding sites for Sty1, Atf1, and the Atf1's binding partner Pcr1; the genome-wide transcriptional profiling of the atf1 and pcr1 strains in response to H2O2; and the phenotypic assessment of ~90 Atf1/Pcr1-bound or unbound genes for growth fitness under H2O2 conditions. ChIP-chip analysis shows that Atf1 and Pcr1 binding sites are overlapped in the genome and constitutively present before H2O2 stress. On the other hand, Sty1 recruitment primarily occurs at the Atf1/Pcr1 binding sites and is induced by H2O2. We found that Atf1/Pcr1 is clearly responsible for the high-level transcriptional response to H2O2. Furthermore, phenotypic assessment indicates that among the H2O2-induced genes, Atf1/Pcr1-bound genes exhibit a higher likelihood of functional requirement for growth fitness under the stress condition than the Atf1/Pcr1-unbound genes do. Notably, we found that the Atf1/Pcr1-bound genes regardless of their responsiveness to H2O2 show a high probability of requirement for growth fitness. .

Expression level of genes in triplicates at 0min (without stress) is compared with that at 10, 30, 60, and 120min after stress treatment. ChIP-chip analyses is done for Atf1-HA, pcr1-HA, sty1-HA, Sty1-HA allele in the atf1D or pcr1D background without and with H2O2 (0.5mM for 30min).

Project description:In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, heterochromatic silencing is quite stable at pericentromeres but unstable at the mating-type (mat) locus under chronic heat stress. We found that the compromised gene silencing at the mat locus at elevated temperature is linked to the phosphorylation status of Atf1 (a member of the ATF/CREB superfamily) by Sty1, one of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). To gain a full picture of Sty1-dependent phosphosite map of Atf1 under heat stress, we purified HA-Atf1 protein from cultures of wild type and sty1Δ strains shifted from 25℃ to either 30℃ or 37℃ for 5 hr followed by immunoprecipitation. Samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, and Coomassie blue-stained gel slices were excised and submitted for mass spectrometry analyses.

Project description:Chimeric proteins resulting from chromosomal translocations play a major role as driver oncogenes in cancer. Among them, fusions between EWSR1 and a set of transcription factors (TFs) generate oncogenes with powerful chromatin regulatory activities, capable of establishing complex gene expression programs. However, specific EWSR1 fusion proteins have been implicated in distinct tumor types, suggesting an enhancement of their functional properties by permissive precursor cells. Here we combined functional epigenomics with nuclear topology mapping to define the epigenetic and 3D connectivity landscape of Clear Cell Sarcoma (CCS), one of the most aggressive forms of human cancer, driven by the EWSR1-ATF1 fusion gene. We find that EWSR1-ATF1 display a distinctive binding pattern that depends on the EWSR1 prion-like domain, and is divergent from wild type ATF1, despite the physical interaction between wt and EWSR1-ATF1 proteins. This cooperativity promotes ATF1 retargeting to new distal sites, leading to chromatin activation and the establishment of a 3D network that controls oncogenic and differentiation signatures shared with primary CCS tumors. Conversely, EWSR1-ATF1 depletion results in a marked reconfiguration of 3D connectivity, including the emergence of a new set of connections controlling neural crest-related developmental programs. Accordingly, interrogation of more than 160,000 single cell expression profiles from the human skin atlas reveals loss of EWSR1-ATF1 expression to induce a more differentiated tumor cell state. Taken together, our study uncovers the cooperativity network of EWSR1-ATF1, delineates the molecular underpinnings of its epigenetic function in CCS, and points to precursor cells along the Schwann cell-melanocytic axis as a candidate origin for these tumors.
