Project description:Ewing sarcoma is characterized by pathognomonic translocations fusing most frequently EWSR1 with FLI1 (EF1). In addition, Ewing sarcoma can also display alterations in STAG2, TP53 and CDKN2A (SPC). Starting from Ewing sarcoma derived human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCpat), we recapitulated this translocation and SPC alterations using a CRISPR/cas9 approach and generated a bona fide Ewing sarcoma model (EWIma1) displaying transcriptomic and epigenetic hallmarks of EwS.

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is characterized by EWSR1-ETS fusion transcription factors converting polymorphic GGAA microsatellites (mSats) into potent neo-enhancers. Although the paucity of additional mutations makes EwS a genuine model to study principles of cooperation between dominant fusion oncogenes and neo-enhancers, this is impeded by the limited number of well-characterized models. Here we present the Ewing Sarcoma Cell Line Atlas (ESCLA), comprising whole-genome, DNA methylation, transcriptome, proteome, and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data of 18 cell lines with inducible EWSR1-ETS knockdown. The ESCLA shows hundreds of EWSR1-ETS-targets, the nature of EWSR1-ETS-preferred GGAA mSats, and putative indirect modes of EWSR1-ETS-mediated gene regulation, converging in the duality of a specific but plastic EwS signature. We identify heterogeneously regulated EWSR1-ETS-targets as potential prognostic EwS biomarkers. Our freely available ESCLA (http://r2platform.com/escla/) is a rich resource for EwS research and highlights the power of comprehensive datasets to unravel principles of heterogeneous gene regulation by chimeric transcription factors.

Project description:The FET family of fusion oncogenes carry one of the three genes, FUS, EWSR1 or TAF15, as 5’‑partners juxtaposed to one of many different DNA binding transcription factor genes as 3’‑partners. FET fusion oncogenes are pathognomonic for many types of sarcoma and leukemia, such as FUS-DDIT3 in myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) and EWSR1-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma (EWS). We used recombinant FET N-terminal domains in a pulldown screen to find interaction partners to the FET proteins and identified components of the SWI/SNF complex. The ~2 MDa SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex utilizes energy from ATP hydrolysis to remodel nucleosomes and expose DNA. We used immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry or western blot analysis to extensively characterize the interaction between FET fusion oncoproteins and the SWI/SNF complex.

Project description:STAG2, a member of cohesin, is one of the most recurrently mutated genes in human cancer. Here, we investigated STAG2 function in the context of Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive bone tumor driven by EWS-FLI1 oncogene chimeric transcription factor. Five different Ewing sarcoma cell lines were transfected with siCT or 2 different siRNAs targeting STAG2 (siSA2#6 or siSA2#8). RNA in A673 & TC71 (siSTAG2) was extracted 24, 48 and 72 hours post-transfection. RNA in EW1, CHLA-10 and CHLA-258 (siSTAG2 and siEWSR1-FLI1) was extracted 72 hours post-transfection. RNA-seq based anlayses of these experiments highligted that STAG2 knock-down alters EWSR1-FLI1 activation signature.

Project description:Ewing Sarcoma (EwS) is a highly aggressive tumor of bone and soft tissues that mostly affects children and adolescents. The pathognomonic oncofusion EWSR1-ETS (EWS-FLI1/EWSR1-ERG) transcription factors drive EwS by orchestrating an oncogenic transcription program through de novo enhancers. Pharmacological targeting of these oncofusions has been challenged by unstructured prion-like domains and common DNA binding motifs in the EWSR1 and ETS protein, respectively. Alternatively, identification and characterization of mediators and downstream targets of EWS-FLI1 dependent or independent function could offer novel therapeutic options. By integrative analysis of thousands of transcriptome datasets representing pan-cancer cell lines, primary cancer, metastasis, and normal tissues, we have identified a 32 gene signature (ESS32) that could stratify EwS from pan-cancer. Of the ESS32 (Ewing Sarcoma Specific 32), LOXHD1 - coding for a stereociliary protein was the most exquisite gene expressed in EwS. CRISPR-Cas9 mediated deletion or silencing of EWS-FLI1 bound upstream de novo enhancer elements in EwS cells led to the loss of LOXHD1 expression and altered the EWS-FLI1, MYC, and HIF1 pathway genes, resulting in decreased proliferation and invasion in vitro and in vivo. These observations open up new avenues for developing LOXHD1-targeted drugs or cellular therapies for this deadly disease.

Project description:Ewing sarcoma is driven by fusion proteins containing a low complexity (LC) domain that is intrinsically disordered and a powerful transcriptional regulator. The most common fusion protein found in Ewing sarcoma, EWS-FLI1, takes its LC domain from the RNA-binding protein EWSR1 (Ewing Sarcoma RNA-binding protein 1) and a DNA-binding domain from the transcription factor FLI1 (Friend Leukemia Virus Integration 1). The LC domain in EWS-FLI1 can bind RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) and can self-assemble through a process known as phase separation. The ability of EWSR1 and related RNA-binding proteins to assemble into ribonucleoprotein granules in cells has been intensely studied but the role of phase separation in EWS-FLI1 activity is less understood. We investigated the overlapping functions of EWSR1 and EWS-FLI1 in controlling gene expression and tumorigenic cell growth in Ewing sarcoma, and our results suggested that these proteins function closely together. We then studied the nature of interactions among EWS-FLI1, EWSR1, and RNA Pol II. We observed EWSR1 and RNA Pol II to be present in protein granules in cells. We then identified protein granules in cells associated with the fusion protein, EWS-FLI1. The tyrosine residues in the LC domain are required for the abilities of EWS-FLI1 to bind its partners, EWSR1 and RNA Pol II, and to incorporate into protein granules. These data suggest that interactions among EWS-FLI1, RNA Pol II, and EWSR1 in Ewing sarcoma can occur in the context of a molecular scaffold found within protein granules in the cell.

Project description:EWSR1-FLI1 is a chimeric transcription factor resulting from the pathognomonic translocation present in Ewing sarcoma cells. Here, we silenced EWSR1-FLI1 in different Ewing sarcoma cell lines. RNA from SKNMC, TC71 and MHH-ES1 cells was extracted 96h post transfection (siCT or siEWSR1-FLI1) or prior doxycycline (day 0) and 7 days after inducing silencing of EWSR1-FLI1 with doxycycline in ASP14 cells. RNA-seq was performed for all conditions.

Project description:Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive malignancy characterized by oncogenic rearrangements of the EWS gene with an ETS-family transcription factor, most commonly FLI. Recent comprehensive next-generation sequencing efforts have revealed few other highly recurrent mutations in this disease apart from loss-of-function mutations in STAG2 which occur in 15-20% of tumors. STAG2 is a member of the cohesin complex, which regulates sister chromatid alignment during mitosis and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. While some studies suggest that loss of STAG2 is associated with the development of aneuploidy, this is not the case in Ewing sarcoma. To investigate whether STAG2 loss effects epigenetic regulation of gene expression in Ewing sarcoma, we developed isogenic Ewing sarcoma cell lines with STAG2 knockout. We found that Ewing sarcoma cells engineered for loss of STAG2 maintain an intact cohesion complex that alternately incorporates STAG1.
