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

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue sarcoma, wherein the malignant tumors arise from the myoblast like cells due to the perturbations in growth and differentiation. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is one of the two major histological subtypes which exhibits high metastatic potential and tumor recurrence culminating in poor prognosis. In the recent past, understanding the epigenetic modifications in these tumors with less genetic alterations has shed light on the process of tumor pathogenesis and development of potential epi-drugs for the effective treatment strategies. Epigenetic regulator, Euchromatin histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (EHMT1)/G9A-like protein (GLP) and its homolog Euchromatin histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (EHMT2)/G9A has been shown to promote proliferation and inhibit differentiation in the mouse myoblast cells, independently. Also, previous study from our lab reported the overexpression of EHMT2 and molecular mechanism associated with the oncogenic phenotype in ARMS. However, expression pattern and functional role of EHMT1 in ARMS is unknown. Herein, we investigated the role of EHMT1 in ARMS. Our preliminary data indicated the overexpression of EHMT1 and the associated oncogenic phenotypes in ARMS. Although EHMT1 has shown to be upregulated and correlated with the increased disease severity in several cancers including gastric, esophagus, squamous cell carcinoma, ovarian and breast cancer, the mechanism involved in the EHMT1 mediated tumorigenesis was unclear. Therefore, through our current study we aimed to understand the expression pattern and the mechanism through which EHMT1 regulated cancer phenotypes in ARMS, for this we performed whole transcriptomic analysis in ARMS cell lines upon EHMT1 knockdown for the first time. In addition, we also compared the expression levels of EHMT1 between Human skeletal muscle myoblasts (HSMM) and ARMS patient samples (obtained from St Jude cloud database).

Project description:N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is well-known for controlling different processes of linear RNA metabolism. Conversely, its role in the biogenesis and function of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is still poorly understood. Here, we characterize circRNA expression in the pathological context of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), observing a global increase when compared to wild-type myoblasts. For a set of circRNAs, such an increase is due to the raised expression of the m6A machinery, which we also find to control the proliferation activity of RMS cells. Furthermore, we identify the RNA helicase DDX5 as a novel mediator of the back-splicing reaction and as a co-factor of the m6A regulatory network. DDX5 and the m6A reader YTHDC1 are shown to interact and to promote the production of a common subset of circRNAs in RMS. In line with the observation that YTHDC1/DDX5 depletion reduces RMS proliferation, our results provide proteins and RNA candidates for the study of rhabdomyosarcoma tumorigenicity.

Project description:Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is the most aggressive subtype mainly caused by the expression of PAX3/7-FOXO1 oncoproteins Here, we show that G9a interacts with PAX3-FOXO1 and regulates its activity. In line with this, transcriptomic analysis by RNA-seq revealed that G9a depletion in RH41 cells induced transcriptional changes inversely correlated by those imposed by PAX3-FOXO1 expression. Overall, our results indicate that G9a promotes PAX3-FOXO1 stability, thus sustaining ARMS myoblastic state.

Project description:Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a class of covalently closed RNAs, derived from a non-canonical splicing event, ubiquitously expressed among Eukaryotes and conserved among different species. We identified a circRNA (circ-ZNF609) involved in the regulation of human primary myoblast proliferation. Upon its depletion, the percentage of proliferating myoblasts was highly reduced. To deepen our knowledge about circ-ZNF609 role in cell cycle regulation, we studied its expression and function in Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a pediatric skeletal muscle malignancy. We found that circ-ZNF609 is up-regulated in biopsies from both the two major RMS subtypes, the alveolar (ARMS) and the embryonal (ERMS), and we discovered that its knock-down blocks proliferation of an ERMS-derived cell line, while it has no effect on ARMS-derived cells. To understand the mechanism through which circ-ZNF609 affects cell proliferation we compared the different effects of circ-ZNF609 depletion in ERMS and ARMS and we identified genes and pathways on which the circRNA acts.

Project description:Exosomes were isolated by differential centrifugation from the fusion negative human embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS) cell lines (JR1, Rh36, and RD) and fusion positive alveolar RMS (ARMS) cell lines (Rh30 and Rh41) and characterized by western blot for exosomal markers. miRNA content of the RMS-derived exosomes was determined using the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 3.0 array and analyzed to specify differentially deregulated (either enriched or depleted) miRNA relative to cellular miRNA from the respective ERMS and ARMS cell lines. Characterization of the miRNA content of RMS exosome is needed to better understand the mechanism by which these particles exert their physiologic effects, notably on proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant tumour accounting for nearly half of soft tissue sarcomas in children. Altered miRNA levels have been reported in human cancers, including RMS. Using deep sequencing technology, a total of 685 miRNAs were investigated in a group of alveolar RMSs (ARMSs), embryonal RMSs (ERMSs) as well as in normal skeletal muscle (NSM). Bioinformatics pipelines were used for miRNA target prediction and clustering analysis. Ninety-seven miRNAs were significantly deregulated in ARMS and ERMS when compared to NSM. MiR-378 family members were dramatically decreased in RMS tumour tissue and cell lines. Interestingly, members of the miR-378 family presented as a possible target the insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF1R), a key signalling molecule in RMS.

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.

Project description:To elucidate the pathogenesis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), particularly for different subgroups, we performed a SNP array-based copy number analysis of 46 RMS specimens from primary cases with ERMS (N = 21), ARMS (N = 14), unclassified RMS (N = 1), and RMS of unknown histology (N = 3) together with 7 RMS-derived cell lines. The ERMS subtype was characterized by hyperploidy and was significantly associated with gains of chromosomes 2, 8, and 12, whereas majority of ARMS cases exhibited near-diploid copy number profiles. Recurrent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosomes 3 (28.6%) and 15q (35.7%) was detected in ARMS. Uniparental disomy/polysomy of 11p was commonly found in both tumor types. Focal gains/amplifications were associated mostly with PAX3-FOXO1 (5/10) or PAX7-FOXO1 (6/6) fusions, but novel amplified regions were also found, including the IRS2 in 2 ARMS. Gain of 13q was significantly associated with good patient outcome in ERMS. These findings not only illustrate genetic differences between ARMS and ERMS but also provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of RMS. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 50K/250K SNP arrays was performed for 46 RMS samples.
