Project description:Functional genomic screen in 2D cell culture is limited in identifying therapeutic targets that modulates tumor-microenvironment interaction. Through comparison of targeted CRISPR-Cas9 screens in 2D cell culture and cell line derived xenografts of lung cancer A549, we identified MEN1 as the top hit that confers differential essentialities in vitro and in vivo. Knockout of MEN1 in multiple solid cancer types does not impact cell proliferation in vitro, but significantly promotes and inhibits tumor growth in immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice, respectively. Mechanistically, knockout of MEN1 leads to redistribution of its interaction partner MLL1, a histone methyltransferase, to repetitive genomic regions that produce double stranded RNA. This resulted in MARV and cGAS-STING dependent activation of viral mimicry response, which induces tumor promoting neutrophil and tumor suppressing CD8+ T cell infiltrations in immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice, respectively. Consistently, multiple immune cell infiltrations are negatively correlated with MEN1 abundance and positively correlated with that of MLL1 in patient tumors of a broad range of cancer types. Pharmacological inhibition of MEN1-MLL1 interaction reduces tumor growth in CD8+ T cell dependent manner, and synergizes with anti-PD-L1 treatment. These findings reveal tumor microenvironment dependent oncogenic and tumor suppressive function of MEN1 and provide rationale for therapeutic targeting of MEN1 alone or in combination with immunotherapy in multiple solid cancer types.

Project description:In this study, we used a targeted CRISPR/Cas9 screen to identify genes that determine growth of A549 cells in vivo and in vitro. Functional genomic screens in 2D cell culture are of limited use for identifying therapeutic targets that modulate tumor cell-microenvironment cell interactions. By comparing targeted CRISPR-Cas9 screens in 2D culture of A549 lung cancer cells versus xenografts derived from the same cell line, we identified MEN1 as the top hit that confers differential effects in vitro and in vivo. Knockout of MEN1 in multiple solid cancer types does not impact cell proliferation in vitro, but significantly promotes or inhibits tumor growth in immunodeficient or immunocompetent mice, respectively. Mechanistically, knockout of MEN1 leads to increased chromatin interaction of its interaction partner MLL1 (KMT2A), a histone methyltransferase, to repetitive genomic regions, where it activates expression of double-stranded RNA. This results in MARV and cGAS-STING dependent activation of viral mimicry response, which induces infiltration of neutrophils and CD8+ T cells in immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice respectively. Consistently, multiple immune cell infiltrations are negatively correlated with MEN1 abundance and positively correlated with that of MLL1 in patient tumors of a broad range of cancer types. Pharmacological inhibition of MEN1-MLL interaction reduces tumor growth in CD8+ T cell dependent manner, with enhanced activity in combination with anti-PD-1 treatment. These findings reveal tumor microenvironment dependent oncogenic and tumor suppressive functions of MEN1 and provide rationale for therapeutic targeting of MEN1 alone or in combination with immunotherapy in multiple solid cancer types.

Project description:Combinatorial CRISPR-Cas screens have advanced the mapping of genetic interactions, but their experimental scale limits the number of targetable gene combinations. Here, we describe 3Cs multiplexing, a rapid and scalable method to generate highly diverse and uniformly distributed combinatorial CRISPR libraries. We demonstrate that the library distribution skew is the critical determinant of its required screening coverage. By circumventing iterative cloning of PCR-amplified oligonucleotides, 3Cs multiplexing facilitates the generation of combinatorial CRISPR libraries with low distribution skews. We show that combinatorial 3Cs libraries can be screened with minimal coverages, reducing associated efforts and costs at least 10-fold. We apply a 3Cs multiplexing library targeting 12,736 autophagy gene combinations with 247,032 paired gRNAs in viability and reporter-based enrichment screens. In the viability screen, we identify, among others, the synthetic lethal WDR45B-PIK3R4 and the proliferation-enhancing ATG7-KEAP1 genetic interactions. In the reporter-based screen, we identify over 1,570 essential genetic interactions for autophagy flux, including interactions among paralogous genes, namely ATG2A-ATG2B, GABARAP-MAP1LC3B and GABARAP-GABARAPL2. However, we only observe few genetic interactions within paralogous gene families of more than two members, indicating functional compensation between them. This work establishes 3Cs multiplexing as a platform for genetic interaction screens at scale.

Project description:Previously, we described a novel alternative to chromatin immunoprecipitation, CUT&RUN, in which unfixed permeabilized cells are incubated with antibody, followed by binding of a protein A-Micrococcal Nuclease (pA/MNase) fusion protein (Skene and Henikoff, 2017). Here we introduce three enhancements to CUT&RUN: A hybrid protein A-Protein G-MNase construct that expands antibody compatibility and simplifies purification, a modified digestion protocol that inhibits premature release of the nuclease-bound complex, and a calibration strategy based on carry-over of E. coli DNA introduced with the fusion protein. These new features, coupled with the previously described low-cost, high efficiency, high reproducibility and high-throughput capability of CUT&RUN make it the method of choice for routine epigenomic profiling.

Project description:Determining the genomic location of DNA-binding proteins is essential to understanding their function. Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN) is a powerful method for mapping protein-DNA interactions at high resolution. In CUT&RUN, a recombinant protein A-microccocal nuclease (pA-MN) fusion is recruited by an antibody targeting the chromatin protein of interest; this can be done with either uncrosslinked or formaldehyde-crosslinked cells. DNA fragments near sites of antibody binding are released from the insoluble bulk chromatin through endonucleolytic cleavage and used to build barcoded DNA-sequencing libraries that can be sequenced in pools of at least 30. Therefore, CUT&RUN provides an alternative to ChIP-seq approaches for mapping chromatin proteins, which typically have relatively high signal-to-noise ratios, while using fewer cells and at a lower cost. Here, we describe the methods for performing CUT&RUN, generating DNA-sequencing libraries, and analyzing the resulting datasets. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Project description:We introduce CUT&RUNTools as a flexible, general pipeline for facilitating the identification of chromatin-associated protein binding and genomic footprinting analysis from antibody-targeted CUT&RUN primary cleavage data. CUT&RUNTools extracts endonuclease cut site information from sequences of short-read fragments and produces single-locus binding estimates, aggregate motif footprints, and informative visualizations to support the high-resolution mapping capability of CUT&RUN. CUT&RUNTools is available at https://bitbucket.org/qzhudfci/cutruntools/ .
