Transcriptional profiling of EGFR variants in mouse Glioblastoma model

ABSTRACT: The RTK/PI3K/MAPK pathway is one of the most frequently altered pathways in Glioblastoma (GBM) with EGFR mutations and/or amplifications present in 57% of all samples. It remains the most frequently mutated oncogene in GBM. We utilized an established in vivo competition screening assay to identify and validate bona fide, driver mutations in GBM. The screen nominated A298I, T263P, and R108G mutations as potential drivers. We also analyzed R108K and R222C which were not identified by the screen. The goal of this study is to characterize the transcriptional changes of GBM when driven by different EGFR variants. Using in utero electroporation (IUE) and CRISPR/Cas9 constructs we knocked out Tp53 and Pten in developing glial cells. Each EGFR variant was overexpressed in this model and tumors were collected at end stage for RNA-sequencing analysis.

Transcriptome analysis of mouse tumors driven by PIK3CA mutation variants

Project description:The RTK/RAS/PI3K pathway is a key driver of tumorigenesis across all cancers, with 90% of Glioblastoma (GBM) tumors exhibiting alterations in this pathway. Among the specific genes in this pathway mutations in PI3K’s catalytic subunit, PIK3CA, are found in 11% of GBM tumors. Sequencing of GBM samples has revealed several known hotspot mutations that drive tumorigenesis in several cancers (E545K, H1047R), as well as a series of 63 in frame mutations (as indexed in COSMIC) that remain largely unclassified. To decode which of these PIK3CA variants function as drivers of GBM, we established an in vivo complementation screening platform for GBM. Our mouse GBM model relies on in utero electroporation (IUE) and CRISPR-Cas9 mediated knockout of NF1, p53, and PTEN (termed 3xCR). Because PTEN catalyzes the reverse reaction of PIK3CA, phosphorylation of PIP2 to PIP3, we complemented loss of PTEN with overexpression of E545K or H1047R, two bona fide hot spot driver mutations of PIK3CA. Both these variants accelerated tumor associated death, demonstrating that known PIK3CA drivers can complement PTEN loss in our system.

Receptor tyrosine kinase signaling promotes post-embryonic morphogenesis and survival of glia and neural progenitor cells

Project description:Glioblastomas (GBMs), which are the most deadly malignant brain tumors of children and adults, infiltrate the brain and grow rapidly, and are resistant to current therapies. Glioblastomas (GBMs) frequently display mutations that activate receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as EGFR, which are thought to cooperate with additional factors to drive tumorigenesis. To identify and characterize genetic pathways that cooperate with RTKs to drive GBM progression, we performed RNA sequencing on several cell cultures created from surgical specimens from tumors with alterations in RTKs, and these cultures were grown as neurospheres in serum-free media used for normal neural stem/progenitor cell cultures. Under these conditions, GBM cells retain many defining features and mutations found in primary tumors. For comparison, we profiled commercially available human normal neural stem cells (HNPCs), which were grown under the same conditions. Data from these cell cultures was analyzed for transcripts differentially expressed between GBM cells and HNPCs, which showed that GBM cells that show RTK alterations strongly overexpressed the PDGFA and IGF2 secreted factors, which likely cooperate with EGFR to drive tumor progression.

EGFR Mutation Promotes Glioblastoma Through Epigenome and Transcription Factor Network Remodeling

Project description:Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene amplification and mutations are the most common oncogenic events in Glioblastoma (GBM), but the mechanisms by which they promote aggressive tumor growth are not well understood. Here, through integrated epigenome and transcriptome analyses of cell lines, genotyped clinical samples and TCGA data, we show that EGFR mutations remodel the activated enhancer landscape of GBM, promoting tumorigenesis through a SOX9 and FOXG1-dependent transcriptional regulatory network in vitro and in vivo. The most common EGFR mutation, EGFRvIII, sensitizes GBM cells to the BET-bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 in a SOX9, FOXG1-dependent manner. These results identify the role of transcriptional/epigenetic remodeling in EGFR-dependent pathogenesis and suggest a mechanistic basis for epigenetic therapy. ChIP-Seq for H3K27ac, H3K4me1, and H3K4me3, and RNA-seq for Glioblastoma (GBM) cells and/or tissues with or without EGFRvIII mutation.

Feedback circuitry between miR-218 repression and RTK activation in glioblastoma

Project description:Receptor tyrosine kinase pathway signalings plays a central role in the growth and progression of glioblastoma, a highly aggressive group of brain tumors. We recently reported that miR-218 repression, an essentially uniform feature of human GBM, directly promotes RTK hyperactivation by increasing the expression of key positive signaling effectors, including EGFR, PLCr1, PIK3CA and ARAF. However, enhanced RTK signaling is known to activate compensatory inhibitory feedback mechanisms in both normal and cancer cells. We demonstrate here that miR-218 repression in GBM cells also increases the abundance of additional up stream and downstream signaling mediators, including PDGFRa, RSK2, and S6K1, which collectively funciton to alleviate inhibitory RTK feedback regulation. In turn, RTK signaling suppresses miR-218 expression via STAT3, which binds to the miR-218 locus, along with BCLAF1, to repress its expression. These data identify novel interacting feedback loops by which miR-218 repression promotes increased RTK signaling in high-grade gliomas.

PHLDA1 mediates drug resistance in receptor tyrosine kinase driven cancer

Project description:Mutations or amplifications of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are common in many cancers. Given the emergence of small molecule inhibitors specific to RTKs, these signalling cascades are attractive therapeutic targets. However, compensatory and adaptation mechanisms limit the clinical utility of compounds that target nodes in RTK networks. Here we show that PHLDA1 down-regulation is critical to acquisition and maintenance of drug resistance in RTK-driven cancer.

Methylation data from glioblastoma tumor samples

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable brain tumor carrying a dismal prognosis, which displays considerable heterogeneity. We have recently identified recurrent H3F3A mutations affecting two critical positions of histone H3.3 (K27, G34) in one-third of pediatric GBM. Here we show that each of these H3F3A mutations defines an epigenetic subgroup of GBM with a distinct global methylation pattern, and are mutually exclusive with IDH1 mutations (characterizing a CpG-Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) subgroup). Three further epigenetic subgroups were enriched for hallmark genetic events of adult GBM (EGFR amplification, CDKN2A/B deletion) and/or known transcriptomic signatures. We also demonstrate that the two H3F3A mutations give rise to GBMs in separate anatomic compartments, with differential regulation of OLIG1/2 and FOXG1, possibly reflecting different cellular origins. We identified six epigenetic and biological GBM subgroups displaying distinct global DNA methylation patterns, which harbor unique hotspot mutations, DNA copy-number alterations, and transcriptomic patterns. We investigated a subset of childhood (n=59) and adult GBMs (n=77) using the Illumina 450k methylation array. Six non-neoplastic brain tissue samples are included as controls.

MEOX2 homeobox gene promotes growth of malignant gliomas [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive tumor that frequently exhibits gain of chromosome 7, loss of chromosome 10 and aberrantly activated RTK signaling pathways. Here, we identify mesenchymal homeobox 2 (MEOX2) as a salient oncogenic transcription factor candidate with increased expression in GBMs. Our results suggest that MEOX2 can enhance ERK signaling through a feed-forward mechanism. We show that MEOX2 overexpression can lead to increased growth in bona fide GBM implantation models and cooperates with loss of p53 and PTEN in cerebral organoid models of human malignant gliomas to induce cell proliferation. Furthermore, using high-throughput genomics, we identify transcriptional target genes of MEOX2 in patient-derived GBM tumorsphere models and a fresh frozen GBM tumor.
