4C-seq analysis of chromatin interactions at the TLX3 and BCL11B loci in human primary leukemia samples and cell lines

ABSTRACT: Structural variants (SVs) involving enhancer hijacking can disrupt chromatin topologies to cause oncogene activation in cancer genomes, yet the molecular determinants for the transcriptional output of enhancer hijacking remain largely unknown. We developed a multimodal approach to integrate genome sequencing, chromosome conformation, and sequence-based deep learning for quantitative analysis of transcriptional effects and structural reorganization imposed by SVs in leukemic genomes. We identified candidate pathogenic SVs including recurrent t(5;14) translocations that cause the hijacking of BCL11B enhancers for oncogenic activation of TLX3-dependent transcriptional programs. By engineering patient-associated t(5;14) in isogenic leukemia cells, we uncovered an uncharacterized mechanism whereby DNA methylation serves as an epigenetic barrier to enhancer hijacking and loss of epigenetic barrier is a molecular determinant for the transcriptional output of pathogenic SVs. Hence, leveraging the epigenetic barriers of SV-mediated oncogenic programs may provide new opportunities to reprogram gene regulation as epigenetic therapies in human disease.

Genome-wide detection of enhancer-hijacking events from chromatin interaction data in rearranged genomes

Project description:Recent efforts have shown that structural variations (SVs) can disrupt three-dimensional genome organization and induce enhancer hijacking, yet no computational tools exist to identify such events from chromatin interaction data. Here, we develop NeoLoopFinder, a computational framework to identify the chromatin interactions induced by SVs, including interchromosomal translocations, large deletions and inversions. Our framework can automatically resolve complex SVs, reconstruct local Hi-C maps surrounding the breakpoints, normalize copy number variation and allele effects and predict chromatin loops induced by SVs. We applied NeoLoopFinder in Hi-C data from 50 cancer cell lines and primary tumors and identified tens of recurrent genes associated with enhancer hijacking. To experimentally validate NeoLoopFinder, we deleted the hijacked enhancers in prostate adenocarcinoma cells using CRISPR–Cas9, which significantly reduced expression of the target oncogene. In summary, NeoLoopFinder enables identification of critical oncogenic regulatory elements that can potentially reveal therapeutic targets.

Focal deletions of a promoter tether activate the IRX3 oncogene in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [UMI4C]

Project description:Oncogenes can be activated in cis through multiple mechanisms including enhancer hijacking events and noncoding mutations that create enhancers or promoters de novo. These paradigms have helped parse somatic variation of noncoding cancer genomes, thereby providing a rationale to identify noncanonical mechanisms of gene activation. Here we describe a novel mechanism of oncogene activation whereby focal copy number loss of an intronic element within the FTO gene leads to aberrant expression of IRX3, an oncogene in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Loss of this CTCF bound element downstream to IRX3 (+224 kb) leads to enhancer hijack of an upstream developmentally active super-enhancer of the CRNDE long noncoding RNA (-644 kb). Unexpectedly, the CRNDE super-enhancer interacts with the IRX3 promoter with no transcriptional output until it is untethered from the FTO intronic site. We propose that 'promoter tethering' of oncogenes to inert regions of the genome is a previously unappreciated biological mechanism preventing tumorigenesis.
