Project description:BCL11A is upregulated in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) but not in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). BCL11A interacts with SOX2 at protein level. ChIP-Seq experiment was performed for BCL11A and SOX2 in LUSC LK-2 control or BCL11A-KD cell line in order to identify their role in LUSC pathology.

Project description:The histone-3 lysine-4 methyltransferase KMT2D is frequently mutated in human cancers. However, knowledge of its role in the initiation and maintenance of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is incomplete. Here, we show that KMT2D is generally downregulated in human AML. Using shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, we show that Kmt2d loss, by cooperating with Trp53 and Nf1 loss, promoted mouse acute myeloid leukemogenesis through a differentiation block of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Furthermore, using a doxycycline-induced shRNA system, we show that restoring Kmt2d impairs AML maintenance. Multi-omics analyses of Kmt2d-deficient and -restored AML cells showed that Kmt2d, via histone methyltransferase activity and chromatin remodeling, epigenetically regulates the expression of genes controlling hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. Lastly, we showed that 3-Deazaneplanocin A, a histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibitor, could specifically repress Kmt2d-deficient AML cell growth and reverse pro-leukemia programs. Thus, our study indicate Kmt2d is a tumor suppressor, whose downregulation promotes AML development through differentiation blockage.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with 5-year survival of ~50%. Genomic profiling studies have identified important somatic mutations in this disease which presents an opportunity for precision medicine. We demonstrate that KMT2D, a histone methyltransferase harbors somatic mutations in ~17% of HNSCC and is associated with 2-year recurrence in TCGA data. Consistent with algorithmic prediction of bring a driver tumor-suppressor event, its loss results in larger oral tumors in immune-proficient orthotopic models. Mechanistically, we find that KMT2D knockdown or KMT2D mutation causes loss of H3K4me1-marked enhancers harboring IRF7/9 binding sites, which is known to regulate interferon signaling. Indeed, KMT2D loss in human and murine cell lines deregulated transcriptional levels of cytokine expression and impacted numerous immune signaling pathways, including interferon signaling. Consistently, Kmt2d knockdown in murine tumors exhibited decrease in IFN-producing effector T cells and an increase in T-cells with an exhausted phenotype. Epistasis experiments showed that exogenous treatment with IFNabrogated the increased tumor growth in Kmt2d-deficient oral tumors. Together, these results support the role of KMT2D as a tumor suppressor in HNSCC that regulates the tumor microenvironment by modulating H3K4me1-marked enhancers controlling interferon signaling.

Project description:Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is associated with high mortality and limited targeted therapies. USP13 is one of the most amplified genes in LUSC, and yet its role in lung cancer is largely unknown. Here, we establish a novel mouse model of LUSC by overexpressing USP13 in KrasG12D/+; Trp53flox/flox background (KPU). KPU model faithfully recapitulates the key pathohistological, molecular features, and cellular pathways of human LUSC. We found that USP13 altered lineage-determining factors such as NKX2-1 and SOX2 in club cells (CC10+) of the airway and reinforced the fate of club cells to squamous carcinoma development. We also showed a strong molecular association between USP13 and MYC, leading to the upregulation of squamous programs in murine and human lung cancer cells. Collectively, our data demonstrate USP13 as a molecular driver of lineage plasticity in club cells and provide mechanistic insight that may have potential implications for the treatment of NSCLC.

Project description:Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) represents 30% of NSCLC and is associated with high mortality and a lack of therapies. Targeted therapies for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) improve overall survival, but such advances have not been made for treatment of LUSC irrespective of frequent molecular abnormalities. Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies have achieved some success in LUSC patients. However, most patients do not respond adequately to such treatment, thereby patients are left with fewer specific treatment options. Exploring vulnerabilities in NSCLC, we showed that a high percentage of LUSC patients bear genetic alterations in the PI3K-mTOR-AKT signaling pathway. Loss of function of mTORC2 in LUSC cells inhibits glycolysis and lactate secretion in cultured cells and tumor growth in vivo. The goal of this study was to investigate how targeting mTORC2 impacts LUSC and the tumor microenvironment, which can be harness for therapeutic options.

Project description:To investigate the subcellular localization of maspin in lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and its functional relevance, gene expression profiles were analyzed in RERF-LC-AI and LK-2 cells overexpressing maspin. The data provides insight into the differential function of maspin in LUSC depending on its subcellular localization.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality due to limited diagnosis and interception of disease at its earliest curable stages. We have identified transcriptional alterations in epithelial and immune pathways in human lung squamous premalignant lesions (PMLs). To investigate the molecular alterations identified and test prevention strategies pre-clinical models are required. The carcinogen induced N-nitroso-tris-chloroethylurea (NTCU) mouse model of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a promising model that develops histologically comparable lung PMLs to those that precede LUSC development in humans; however, the associated molecular alterations and immune environment driving PML and LUSC development in this model have not been well characterized.
