Genome wide enhancer loops (HiChIP) and 3-D high order chromatin features associated with EWS-FLI1 in Ewing Sarcoma. [HiChIP]

ABSTRACT: Tumor cell identity is the product of complex interactions between oncogenic drivers and mechanisms regulating normal differentiation pathways. Cell fate transitions observed in embryonic development involve structural changes in genomic organization that provide proper lineage specification, however, whether similar events also occur within tumor cells and contribute to cancer evolution remains largely unexplored. Here we modeled this process in the pediatric bone cancer Ewing sarcoma and investigated high resolution looping and large-scale 3D nuclear conformation changes associated with EWS-FLI1, the oncogenic fusion protein that drives this tumor. We find that chromatin interactions in Ewing sarcoma cells are dominated by highly connected looping hubs centered on EWS-FLI1 binding sites, which directly control the activity of linked enhancers and promoters to establish oncogenic expression programs. Depletion of EWS-FLI1 leads to the loss of looping networks associated with the fusion protein and, strikingly, also results in widespread nuclear reorganization through the establishment of new patterns of looping and large-scale inter-compartment connectivity that resemble the chromatin configuration of mesenchymal stem cells, a candidate cell of origin of this tumor. Our data thus demonstrate that major architectural features of nuclear organization in cancer cells can be linked to a single oncogenic event and readily reversed to re-establish latent differentiation programs.

USP1 expression driven by EWS-FLI1 transcription factor stabilizes Survivin and promotes Ewing sarcoma cell survival

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is a malignant pediatric bone cancer. Most Ewing sarcomas are driven by EWS-FLI1 oncogenic transcription factor that plays roles in transcriptional regulation, DNA damage response, cell cycle checkpoint control, and alternative splicing. USP1, a deubiquitylase which regulates DNA damage and replication stress responses, is overexpressed at both the mRNA and protein levels in EWS cell lines compared to human mesenchymal stem cells, the EWS cell of origin. The functional significance of high USP1 expression in Ewing sarcoma is not known. Here, we identify USP1 as a transcriptional target of EWS-FLI1 and a key regulator of EWS cell survival. We show that EWS-FLI1 knockdown decreases USP1 mRNA and protein levels. ChIP and ChIP-seq analyses show EWS-FLI1 occupancy on the USP1 promoter. Importantly, USP1 knockdown or inhibition arrests EWS cell growth and induces cell death by apoptosis. We observe destabilization of Survivin (also known as BIRC5 or IAP4) and activation of caspases-3 and -7 following USP1 knockdown or inhibition in the absence of external DNA damage stimuli. Notably, EWS cells display hypersensitivity to combinatorial treatment of doxorubicin or etoposide, EWS standard of care drugs, and USP1 inhibitor compared to single agents alone. Together, our study demonstrates that USP1 is regulated by EWS-FLI1, the USP1-Survivin axis promotes EWS cell survival, and USP1 inhibition sensitizes EWS cells to standard of care chemotherapy.

Expression data from the inducible expression of EWS-FLI1 (EF) in embryoid bodies

Project description:Oncogenic transformation in Ewing sarcoma tumors is driven by the fusion oncogene EWS-FLI1. The inducible expression of EWS-FLI1 (EF) in embryoid bodies, or collections of differentiating stem cells, generates cells with properties of Ewing sarcoma tumors, including characteristics of transformation. These cell lines exhibit anchorage-independent growth, a lack of contact inhibition and a strong Ewing sarcoma gene expression signature. These cells also demonstrate a requirement for the persistent expression of EWS-FLI1 for cell survival and growth. We used microarrays to detail the effects of doxycycline-inducible expression of EWS-FLI1 on the gene expression signature of cells derived from differentiating stem cells, or embryoid bodies. Triplicate biological replicates were collected and analyzed.

EWS-FLI1 and HOXD13 control tumor cell plasticity in Ewing sarcoma [RNA-seq]

Project description:Posterior homeobox D genes, in particular HOXD13, are over-expressed by Ewing sarcoma, a tumor driven by the oncogenic fusion protein EWS-FLI1. Here, we have found that EWS-FLI1 maintains HOXD13 expression through a GGAA microsatellite enhancer in the developmental posterior HOXD regulatory domain. Activation of this enhancer is EWS-FLI1 dependent and epigenomic silencing of this region leads to loss of HOXD13 expression in Ewing sarcoma cells, but not in unrelated cells. To determine the function of HOXD13 activation in Ewing sarcoma we performed nascent RNA sequencing or RNA sequencing upon HOXD13 knockdown.

Neo-peptides identification in Ewing sarcoma cell lines using proteomics approach

Project description:Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is an adolescent and young adult sarcoma characterized by chromosome translocations between members of the FET family of RNA binding proteins and members of the ETS family of transcription factors, the most frequent fusion being EWS-FLI1. EWS-FLI1 acts as a pioneer factor, creating de novo enhancers and activating genes located in the vicinity of EWS-FLI1-bound microsatellite sequences. recent results from our lab indicate that EWS-FLI1, which activates transcription through binding to the DNA at specific sites, can generate fully novel, unconventional transcription units in regions of the genome that are fully quiescent in normal cells (manuscript in preparation). The hypothesis of the project is that the open reading frames (ORFs) of these transcripts may encode peptides presented at the cell surface by HLA class I molecules and hence be recognized as non-self by the immune system. The aim of this study is to detect Ewing-specific neo-peptides/proteins using proteomics approach.

hnRNPK knock down in Ewing cell line

Project description:Ewing sarcoma is a highly aggressive tumor characterized by a translocation between members of the FET family of RNA binding proteins and one of several ETS transcription factors, with the most common translocation being EWS-FLI1. EWS-FLI1 leads to changes in gene expression through mechanisms that are not completely understood. We performed RNA sequencing analysis on primary pediatric human mesenchymal progenitor cells (pMPCs) expressing EWS-FLI1 in order to identify novel target genes. This analysis identified lnc277 as a previously uncharacterized long non-coding RNA upregulated by EWS-FLI1 in pMPCs. Inhibiting the expression of lnc277 diminished the ability of Ewing sarcoma cell lines to proliferate and form colonies in soft agar whereas inhibiting lnc277 had no effect on other cell types tested. By analyzing gene expression after shRNA knockdown, we found that both EWS-FLI1 and lnc277 repressed many more genes that they induced and that a significant fraction of EWS-FLI1 repressed targets were also repressed by lnc277. Analysis of primary human Ewing sarcoma RNA sequencing data further supports a role for lnc277 in mediating gene repression. We identified hnRNPK as an RNA binding protein that interacts directly with lnc277. We found a significant overlap in the genes repressed by hnRNPK and those repressed by both EWS-FLI1 and lnc277, suggesting that hnRNPK participates in lnc277 mediated gene repression. Thus, lnc277 is a previously uncharacterized long non-coding RNA downstream of EWS-FLI1 that facilitates the development of Ewing sarcoma via the repression of target genes. Our studies identify a novel mechanism of oncogenesis downstream of a chromosomal translocation and underscore the importance of lncRNA-mediated gene repression as a mechanism of EWS-FLI1 transcriptional regulation. A673 Ewing cells expressing an shRNA targeting hnRNPK or control were subjected to paired end RNA sequencing and compared to shGFP control.
