An autoregulatory feedback loop converging on H2AK119ub1 drives synovial sarcoma [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: The SS18-SSX fusion drives oncogenic transformation in synovial sarcoma by bridging SS18, a member of mSWI/SNF complex, to polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) target genes. Here we show that the SSX C-terminus, via its SSXRD domain, directs SS18-SSX chromatin binding independently of SS18. SSXRD specific targeting is mediated by interaction with H2AK119ub1 and histone MacroH2A with which the fusion overlaps genome wide. Variant Polycomb Repressive Complex 1.1 (PRC1.1) acts as the main depositor of H2AK119ub1 and consequently is required for SS18-SSX occupancy. Importantly, SSX C-terminus not only depends on H2AK119ub1 for localization but also further promotes it and consequently, high H2AK119ub1 levels are acquired during synovial sarcoma development. These results reveal an SS18-SSX/PRC1 autoregulatory feedback-loop that enforces fusion binding and could play a role in a wide-range of cancers and physiological settings where SSX proteins are overexpressed.

Aberrant gene activation in synovial sarcoma relies on SSX specificity and increased PRC1.1 stability

Project description:The SS18-SSX fusion drives oncogenic transformation in synovial sarcoma by bridging SS18, a member of the mSWI/SNF (BAF) complex, to Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) target genes. Here we show that the ability of SS18-SSX to occupy H2AK119ub1-rich regions is an intrinsic property of its SSX C terminus, which can be exploited by fusion to transcriptional regulators beyond SS18. Accordingly, SS18-SSX recruitment occurs in a manner that is independent of the core components and catalytic activity of BAF. Alternative SSX fusions are also recruited to H2AK119ub1-rich chromatin and reproduce the expression signatures of SS18-SSX by engaging with transcriptional activators. Variant Polycomb repressive complex 1.1 (PRC1.1) acts as the main depositor of H2AK119ub1 and is therefore required for SS18-SSX occupancy. Importantly, the SSX C terminus not only depends on H2AK119ub1 for localization, but also further increases it by promoting PRC1.1 complex stability. Consequently, high H2AK119ub1 levels are a feature of murine and human synovial sarcomas. These results uncover a critical role for SSX-C in mediating gene deregulation in synovial sarcoma by providing specificity to chromatin and further enabling oncofusion binding by enhancing PRC1.1 stability and H2AK119ub1 deposition.

A stage-specific induction system reveals that the oncogenic fusion protein in synovial sarcoma, SS18-SSX, is a cellular context-dependent epigenetic modifier

Project description:We analyzed the effects of cellular context on the function of the synovial sarcoma-specific fusion protein, SS18-SSX, using human pluripotent stem cells containing the drug-inducible SS18-SSX gene. To investigate the cell-type-dependent effecfts of SS18-SSX, we performed gene expression profiling experiments.

The chromatin landscape of primary synovial sarcoma organoids is linked to specific epigenetic mechanisms and dependencies [RNA-seq]

Project description:Synovial sarcoma (SyS) is an aggressive mesenchymal malignancy invariably associated with the chromosomal translocation t(X:18; p11:q11), which results in the in-frame fusion of the BAF complex gene SS18 to one of three SSX genes. Fusion of SS18 to SSX generates an aberrant transcriptional regulator, which, in permissive cells, drives tumor development by initiating major chromatin remodeling events that disrupt the balance between BAF-mediated gene activation and Polycomb-dependent repression. Here, we developed SyS organoids and performed genome-wide epigenomic profiling of these models and mesenchymal precursors to define SyS-specific chromatin remodeling mechanisms and dependencies. We show that SS18-SSX induces broad BAF domains at its binding sites, which oppose Polycomb Repressor Complex (PRC) 2 activity while facilitating recruitment of a non-canonical (nc)PRC1 variant. Along with the uncoupling of Polycomb complexes, we observed H3K27me3 eviction, H2AK119ub deposition and the establishment of de novo active regulatory elements that drive SyS identity. These alterations are completely reversible upon SS18-SSX depletion and confer vulnerability to USP7 loss, a core member of ncPRC1.1. SyS organoids thus provide a powerful model to define mechanisms of epigenetic dysregulation on which SyS cells are dependent.

The SS18-SSX oncoprotein hijacks KDM2B-PRC1.1 to drive synovial sarcoma [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Gene fusions arising from chromosomal translocations are key oncogenic drivers in soft tissue sarcomas but little is known about how they exert their oncogenic effects. Our study explores the molecular mechanisms by which the SS18-SSX fusion oncoprotein subverts epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation to drive synovial sarcoma. Using functional genomics, we identify KDM2B – a histone demethylase and core component of a non-canonical Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1.1) – as selectively required for sustaining synovial sarcoma cell transformation. SS18-SSX physically interacts with PRC1.1 and co-associates with SWI/SNF and KDM2B complexes on unmethylated CpG islands genome-wide. Via KDM2B, SS18-SSX binds and aberrantly activates expression of a series of developmentally regulated transcription factors that would otherwise be targets of polycomb-mediated repression, which is restored upon KDM2B depletion leading to irreversible mesenchymal differentiation. Thus, SS18-SSX de-regulates developmental programs to drive transformation by hijacking a transcriptional repressive complex to aberrantly activate gene expression.
