PROX1 transcription factor is a master transcriptional regulator and essential for the stemness and growth of rhabdomyosarcoma

ABSTRACT: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive pediatric cancer in need of novel therapies. Here we show that the PROX1 transcription factor, which is essential for myoblast differentiation, is highly expressed in RMS tumors. We demonstrate that PROX1 regulates RMS cell proliferation, stemness and rhabdosphere formation in vitro and RMS tumor formation in mouse xenograft models. By using proximity labeling and mass spectrometry, we found that PROX1 interacts with the NuRD and CoREST (HDAC) complexes. PROX1 depletion reprogrammed the RMS transcriptome to resemble benign mesenchymal stem cells and repressed previously identified RMS effector transcripts, placing it upstream of these genes. Our studies reveal a major role of PROX1-HDAC interaction in RMS and give insights for novel therapeutic targets.

Endothelial and Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma mRNA expression

Project description:Frozen skeletal muscle, tumor adjacent skeletal muscle, Endothelial Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) and Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) samples were profiled on Illumina bead array. Total RNA from primary resected samples were profiled to allow comparison of 1) normal skeletal muscle tissue with RMS samples and 2) ARMS with ERMS tumors.

NuRD subunit CHD4 regulates super-enhancer accessibility in Rhabdomyosarcoma and represents a general tumor dependency

Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers modulate gene expression by regulating genome accessibility and can contribute to tumorigenesis. In fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS), we have previously identified the chromatin remodeler and NuRD subunit CHD4 as an essential gene for tumor survival. Here, we demonstrate that the FP-RMS vulnerability to CHD4 goes beyond its function as a NuRD member. Mechanistically, CHD4 interacts with BRD4 and co-localizes with the tumor driver and fusion protein PAX3-FOXO1 at super-enhancers where it generates a chromatin architecture permissive for the binding of the fusion protein. This allows the positioning of RNA polymerase 2 at promoters and the expression of the oncogenic program of PAX3-FOXO1. Additionally, analysis of genome-wide cancer dependency databases identifies CHD4 amongst the NuRD subunits as general novel cancer vulnerability. Our findings describe, for the first time, CHD4 as a regulator of super-enhancer-mediated gene expression and establish this chromatin remodeler as an unexpected broad tumor susceptibility.

SNAIL is a key regulator of rhabdomyosarcoma progression and myogenic differentiation

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a frequent non-epithelial tumor of soft tissue that originates from a myogenic differentiation defect. Expression of SNAIL transcription factor is elevated in the alveolar subtype of RMS, characterized by a low myogenic differentiation status and high aggressiveness. SNAIL affects RMS metastasis by reorganization of actin cytoskeleton, regulation of ezrin expression and chemotaxis to HGF and SDF-1. The differentiation of human RMS diminishes SNAIL level. SNAIL silencing completely abolishes the growth of human RMS xenotransplants. SNAIL inhibits myogenic differentiation of RMS by binding to the MYF5 promoter, suppressing its expression, displacing MYOD from canonical to alternative E-box sequences and regulating myomiRs expression. SNAIL silencing allows the re-expression of MYF5 and canonical MYOD binding, promoting RMS cell myogenic differentiation. These novel results open potential avenues for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies based on SNAIL silencing.

Effect of genomic imbalances on gene expression in rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common paediatric soft-tissue sarcoma and resembles developing skeletal muscle. Specific genomic alterations including translocations, deletions and amplification events have been associated with the alveolar and embryonal subtypes of RMS. Characterizing these changes has led to increased understanding of the underlying molecular biology. However, further aberrations and their significance remain to be defined. Genomic copy number variations have been shown to affect the level of transcription in several tumor types. In this study, we have combined array comparative genomic hybridization analysis of 13 RMS cell lines, supported by confirmatory PCR analyses, with their corresponding expression profiles. This identified sets of genes that are altered in their level of expression by genomic imbalances. We also show that the effect on gene expression was proportional to the level of genomic gain or loss. Keywords: Rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines will be added later on

The 3D chromatin landscape of rhabdomyosarcoma [HiC]

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue cancer with no precision therapy available for affected patients. We hypothesized that with a general paucity of known mutations in RMS, chromatin structural driving mechanisms are essential for tumor proliferation. Thus, we carried out high-depth in situ Hi-C in representative cell lines and patient-derived xenografts to understand chromatin architecture in each major RMS subtype. We report a comprehensive 3D chromatin structural analysis and characterization of fusion-positive (FP-RMS) and fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma (FN-RMS). We have generated spike-in in situ Hi-C chromatin interaction maps for the commonest FP-RMS and FN-RMS cell lines, and compared our data with patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. In our studies we uncover common and distinct structural elements in large Mb-scale chromatin compartments, tumor-essential genes within variable topologically associating domains, and unique patterns of structural variation. This study enables a comprehensive resource for contextualizing gene regulation events in RMS, and high-depth chromatin interactivity maps for identification of functionally critical chromatin domains in this tumor.

Transcription profiling of human Rhabdomyosarcoma biopsy samples (15 embryonal RMS, 10 translocation-positive alveolar RMS and 5 translocation-negative alveolar RMS)

Project description:We measured the expression profiles of a series of 30 Rhabdomyosarcoma biopsy samples (15 embryonal RMS, 10 translocation-positive alveolar RMS and 5 translocation-negative alveolar RMS). Expression data was used for unsupervised hierarchical clustering as well as supervised analysis to find gene expression signatures characteristic for the different histological RMS subgroups.

RIP-seq of DDX5 in rhabdomyosarcoma cells

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood characterized by the inability to exit the proliferative myoblast-like stage. Here, we identified the DEAD box RNA helicase 5 (DDX5) as a potential therapeutic target to inhibit alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) growth. We show that DDX5 is overexpressed in alveolar RMS cells, demonstrating that its depletion drastically decreases ARMS viability and slows tumor growth in xenograft models. Mechanistically, we provide evidence that DDX5 functions upstream the G9a/AKT survival signalling pathway, by modulating G9a protein stability

Methylation profiling reveals novel molecular classes of rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) represent a family of aggressive soft tissue sarcomas that present in both the pediatric and adult setting. Pathologic risk stratification for RMS has been based on histologic subtype, with poor outcomes observed in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) and adult-type pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (PRMS) compared to embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). Recent genomic sequencing studies have expanded the spectrum of RMS, with several new molecularly defined entities, including fusion-driven spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (SC/SRMS) and MYOD1-mutant SC/SRMS. Comprehensive genomic analysis has previously defined the mutational and copy number spectrum for the more common ERMS and ARMS, as well as revealed corresponding methylation signatures. In contrast, genetic and epigenetic correlates have not been defined for the rare SC/SRMS or PRMS histologic subtypes. Herein, we present genomic sequencing, copy number analysis, and methylation profiling of the largest cohort of molecularly characterized RMS samples to date. We identified two novel methylation subtypes, one having SC/SRMS histology and defined by MYOD1 p. L122R mutations and the other matching adult type PRMS. Selected tumors from adolescent patients grouped with the PRMS methylation class, expanding the age range of these rare tumors. Pediatric patients in the MYOD1-mutant group, as well as those clustering with PRMS, appear to have poor overall survival.
