The Ewing Sarcoma Cell Line Atlas (ESCLA) - expression profiling of 18 Ewing sarcoma cell lines in EWSR1-ETS-high versus -low condition

ABSTRACT: Cell lines have been essential for major discoveries in cancer including Ewing sarcoma (EwS). EwS is a highly aggressive pediatric bone or soft-tissue cancer characterized by oncogenic EWSR1-ETS fusion transcription factors converting polymorphic GGAA-microsatellites (mSats) into neo-enhancers. However, further detailed mechanistic evaluation of gene regulation in EwS have been hindered by the limited number of well-characterized cell line models. Here, we present the Ewing Sarcoma Cell Line Atlas (ESCLA) comprising 18 EwS cell lines with inducible EWSR1-ETS knockdown that were profiled by whole-genome-sequencing, DNA methylation arrays, gene expression and splicing arrays, mass spectrometry, and ChIP-seq for EWSR1-ETS and histone marks. Systematic analysis of these multi-dimensional data illuminated hundreds of new potential EWSR1-ETS target genes, the nature of EWSR1-ETS-preferred GGAA-mSats, and potential indirect modes of EWSR1-ETS-mediated gene regulation. Moreover, we identified putative co-regulatory transcription factors and heterogeneously regulated EWSR1-ETS target genes that may have implications for the clinical heterogeneity of EwS. Collectively, our freely available ESCLA constitutes an extremely rich resource for EwS research and highlights the power of leveraging multidimensional and comprehensive datasets to unravel principles of heterogeneous gene regulation by dominant fusion oncogenes.

Systematic multi-omics cell line profiling uncovers principles of Ewing sarcoma fusion oncogene-mediated gene regulation

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.

The Ewing sarcoma cell line atlas (ESCLA) - The relevance of the transcription factors GATA2 and E2F2 in a Ewing sarcoma cell line model

Systematic analysis of these multi-dimensional data identified GATA2 and E2F2 as EWSR1-ETS-driven putative co-regulatory transcription factors. To evaluate the relevance of these transcrition factors, RNA interference in a Ewing sarcoma cell line was employed with subsequent Affymetrix Exon array profiling. The expression data were analysed in synopsis with the effects of EWSR1-FLI1 in the same cell line.

Genome-wide chromatin analysis of Ewing sarcoma (ChIP-seq)

Project description:We show that EWS-FLI1, an aberrant transcription factor responsible for the pathogenesis of Ewing sarcoma, reprograms gene regulatory circuits by directly inducing or directly repressing enhancers. At GGAA repeats, which lack regulatory potential in other cell types and are not evolutionarily conserved, EWS- FLI1 multimers potently induce chromatin opening, recruit p300 and WDR5, and create de novo enhancers. GGAA repeat enhancers can loop to physically interact with target promoters, as demonstrated by chromosome conformation capture assays. Conversely, EWS-FLI1 inactivates conserved enhancers containing canonical ETS motifs by displacing wild-type ETS transcription factors and abrogating p300 recruitment. ChIP-seq for of 4 histone modifications (H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3), FLI1, p300, WDR5, ELF1 and GABPA in primary Ewing sarcomas, Ewing sarcoma cell lines (A673 and SKMNC cells), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). EWS-FLI1 was knocked down in Ewing sarcoma cell lines with lentiviral shRNAs (shFLI1 and shGFP control). EWS-FLI1 was expressed in MSCs with lentiviral expression vectors (pLIV EWSFLI1 or pLIV empty vector control). * Raw data not provided for the MSC and Primary Ewing sarcoma samples. *

Effect of RREB1 knockdown using siRNA in A673 Ewing sarcoma cells (RNA-seq)

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is a rare bone and soft tissue malignancy driven by chromosomal translocations encoding chimeric transcription factors, such as EWSR1-FLI1, that bind GGAA motifs forming novel enhancers that alter nearby expression. We propose germline microsatellite variation at the 6p25.1 EwS susceptibility locus could impact downstream gene expression and EwS biology. We performed targeted long-read sequencing of EwS blood DNA to characterize variation and genomic features important for EWSR1-FLI1 binding. We identified 50 microsatellite alleles at 6p25.1 and observed EwS cases had longer alleles (>135 bp) with more GGAA repeats. The 6p25.1 GGAA microsatellite showed chromatin features of an EWSR1-FLI1 enhancer, and regulated expression of RREB1, a transcription factor associated with RAS/MAPK signaling. RREB1 knockdown reduced proliferation and clonogenic potential, and reduced expression of cell cycle and DNA replication genes. Our integrative analysis at 6p25.1 details increased binding of longer GGAA microsatellite alleles with acquired EWSR-FLI1 to promote Ewing sarcomagenesis by RREB1-mediated proliferation.

Transcriptional constraint of EWS/FLI by an ETS transcription factor promotes Ewing sarcoma growth [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Pediatric cancers frequently harbor sentinel mutations involving transcription factors (TFs) that dysregulate normal development. A recurrent mechanism involves the ability of mutant TFs to co-opt cell lineage-specific, activating TFs to promote cancer growth. Ewing sarcoma, the second most common pediatric bone cancer, is defined by the presence of a 11;22 chromosomal translocation fusing the N-terminus of the EWS protein with the C-terminal DNA binding domain of an ETS (E26 Transformation Specific) TF family member, most commonly (85-90% of cases), FLI1. The EWS/FLI fusion exhibits the neomorphic ability to pioneer de novo enhancers at repeating 5’-GGAA-3’ motifs in the cell-of-origin, which has not been identified. To date, efforts to elucidate the key mechanisms by which EWS/FLI promotes oncogenesis have prioritized identifying the genes that are profoundly activated by EWS/FLI and highly expressed in Ewing sarcoma compared to other cancers, with particular focus on transcription factors capable of altering cell state. However, it is not known whether, globally, these genes constitute the most critical drivers of Ewing sarcoma cell growth. Here, we describe the results of an unbiased deletion screen revealing that the wild-type repressive ETS family TF, ETV6 (ETS Variant 6, or TEL), is a novel and most critical TF dependency specific to Ewing sarcoma. We demonstrate that the repressive activity of ETV6 constrains EWS/FLI gene activation at GGAA repeat enhancers to promote Ewing sarcoma cell growth.
