Project description:Many human cancers are resistant to immunotherapy for reasons that are poorly understood. We used a genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify mechanisms of tumor cell resistance to killing by cytotoxic T cells, the central effectors of anti-tumor immunity. Inactivation of >100 genes sensitized mouse B16F10 melanoma cells to killing by T cells, including Pbrm1, Arid2 and Brd7, which encode components of the PBAF form of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. Loss of PBAF function increased tumor cell sensitivity to interferon-gamma, resulting in enhanced secretion of chemokines that recruit effector T cells. Treatment-resistant tumors became responsive to immunotherapy when Pbrm1 was inactivated. In many human cancers, expression of PBRM1 and ARID2 inversely correlated with expression of T cell cytotoxicity genes, and Pbrm1-deficient murine melanomas were more strongly infiltrated by cytotoxic T cells.

Project description:PBRM1 is an accessory subunit of the PBAF subclass of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler. The inactivation of PBRM1 is the second most frequent mutational event in kidney tumorigenesis. Here we show that in VHL-deficient ccRCC tumors, PBRM1 loss results in an altered PBAF complex that retains the association between SMARCA4 and ARID2 but disengages BRD7 from SMARCA4. The PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes redistribute from promoter proxy regions to distal enhancer regions. The ATPase function of SMARCA4 enhances the recruitment of nuclear factor RELA to aberrant sites and promotes NF-κB activity. Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib reverses NF-κB activation by reducing RELA binding at regions bound by PBRM1-deficient PBAF and delays PBRM1-deficient tumor growth. In conclusion, PBRM1 safeguards the chromatin by repressing aberrant liberation of pro-tumorigenic NF-κB target genes by residual PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes.

Project description:Subunits of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes are frequently mutated in human malignancies. The PBAF complex is composed of multiple subunits, including the putative tumor suppressor proteins PBRM1 (BAF180) and ARID2 (BAF200) that are unique to this SWI/SNF complex. PBRM1 is mutated in various cancers, with a high mutation frequency in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Here, we integrate RNA-seq, ARID2 and histone mark ChIP-seq, and ATAC-seq data to show that PBAF acts to enhance or repress gene expression depending on the genomic context. At baseline, ARID2 binds to areas of open chromatin at both active enhancers and promoters. Depletion of PBRM1 leads to attenuated and redistributed ARID2 chromatin binding that correlates significantly with gene expression changes. At enhancers, ARID2 binding loss leads to diminishment of the histone mark H3K4me1 and gene downregulation. Alternatively, at a subset of promoters, ARID2 binding loss derepresses gene expression. Interestingly, ARID2, which remains bound to other PBAF subunits after loss of PBRM1, is essential for many of the pro-tumorigenic transcriptional changes observed after loss of PBRM1, whereas other core SWI/SNF components are dispensable. Upon loss of PBRM1, ARID2 positively regulates cancer-related genes and pathways, including the cancer stem cell marker ALDH1A1 and EGF signaling, to stimulate tumor cell growth. Therefore, ARID2 is crucial for maintaining the transformed state of PBRM1-deficient ccRCC cells. In total, this study suggests a novel mechanism of transcriptional control by PBRM1, whereby its loss alters the chromatin distribution of the residual PBAF complex leading to altered transcription that promotes tumorigenesis.

Project description:PBRM1 encodes an accessory subunit of the PBAF subclass of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler and the inactivation of PBRM1 is the second most frequent mutational event in kidney cancer. However, the impact of PBRM1 loss on chromatin remodeling, especially pertaining to kidney tumorigenesis, has not been well examined. Here we show that in VHL-deficient renal tumors, PBRM1 deficiency results in aberrant PBAF complexes that localize to de novo genomic loci and activate the pro-tumorigenic NF-κB pathway. PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes, despite retaining the association between SMARCA4 and ARID2, have loosely tethered BRD7 and redistribute from promoter proximal regions to distal enhancers containing NF-κB motifs. Subsequently, PBRM1-deficient cells display heightened NF-κB activity in multiple models and clinical samples. The ATPase function of SMARCA4 maintains chromatin occupancy of both pre-existing and newly acquired RELA specific to PBRM1 loss, and activates downstream target gene expression. Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib reverses NF-κB activation by reducing RELA occupancy and delays growth of PBRM1-deficient tumors. In conclusion, PBRM1 safeguards the chromatin by repressing aberrant liberation of pro-tumorigenic NF-κB target genes by residual PBRM1-deficient PBAF complexes.
