A non-coding single nucleotide polymorphism at 8q24 drives IDH1-mutant glioma formation

ABSTRACT: Establishing causal links between inherited polymorphisms and cancer risk is challenging. Here, we focus on the single nucleotide polymorphism rs55705857 (A>G), which confers a 6-fold increased risk of IDH-mutant low-grade glioma (LGG) and is amongst the highest genetic associations with cancer. By fine-mapping the locus, we reveal that rs55705857 itself is the causal variant and is associated with molecular pathways that drive LGG. Mechanistically, we show that rs55705857 resides within a brain-specific enhancer, where the risk allele disrupts OCT2/4 binding, allowing increased interaction with the Myc promoter and increased Myc expression. To functionally test rs55705857, we generated an IDH1R132H-driven LGG mouse model and show that mutating the highly conserved, orthologous mouse rs55705857 locus dramatically accelerated tumor development from 463 to 172 days and increased penetrance from 30% to 75%. Overall, our work generates new LGG models and reveals mechanisms of the heritable predisposition to lethal glioma in ~40% of LGG-patients.

EZH2 inhibition sensitizes IDH1R132H mutant gliomas to Panobinostat

Project description:Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) is commonly mutated in lower grade diffuse gliomas. The IDH1R132H mutation is an important diagnostic tool for tumor diagnosis and prognosis, however its role in glioma development, and its impact on response to therapy, is not fully understood. We developed a murine model of proneural IDH1R132H mutated glioma that shows elevated production of 2-Hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) and increased tri-methylation of lysine residue K27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) compared to IDH1 wild-type tumors. We found that using Tazemetostat to inhibit the methyltransferase for H3K27, Enhancer of Zeste 2 (EZH2), reduced H3K27me3 levels and increased acetylation on H3K27. We also found that, although the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) Panobinostat was less cytotoxic in IDH1R132H mutated cells (either isolated from murine glioma or oligodendrocyte progenitor cells infected in vitro with a retrovirus expressing IDH1R132H) compared to IDH1-wildtype cells, co-treatment with Tazemetostat is synergistic in both mutant and wildtype models. These findings indicate a novel therapeutic strategy for IDH1-mutated gliomas that targets the specific epigenetic alteration in these tumors.

Transcriptional analysis of ATRX deficiency in a CT2A glioma model

Project description:Stimulating the innate immune system has been explored as a therapeutic option for the treatment of gliomas. Inactivating mutations in ATRX, a defining molecular alteration in IDH-mutant astrocytomas, have been implicated in dysfunctional immune signaling. However, little is known about the interplay between ATRX loss and IDH mutation on innate immunity. To explore this biology, we generated ATRX knockout glioma models in the presence and absence of the IDH1R132H mutation. ATRX-deficient glioma cells were sensitive to dsRNA-based innate immune agonism and exhibited impaired lethality and increased T-cell infiltration in vivo. However, the presence of IDH1R132H dampened baseline expression of key innate immune genes and cytokines in a manner restored by genetic and pharmacological IDH1R132H inhibition. IDH1R132H co-expression did not interfere with the ATRX KO-mediated sensitivity to dsRNA. Thus, ATRX loss primes cells for recognition of dsRNA, while IDH1R132H reversibly masks this priming. This work reveals innate immunity as a therapeutic vulnerability of astrocytoma.

RNA expression at chromosome 8q24 in human colon

Project description:An inherited variant on chromosome 8q24, rs6983267, is significantly associated with cancer pathogenesis. We present evidence that this region is a transcriptional enhancer, that the risk region physically interacts with the MYC proto-oncogene, and that the alleles of rs6983267 differentially bind transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2). These data provide strong support for a biological mechanism underlying this non-protein coding risk variant.

Regulation of normal B cell differentiation and malignant B cell survival by OCT2 (expression)

Project description:The requirement for the B cell transcription factor OCT2 (encoded by Pou2f2) in germinal center B cells has proved controversial. Here, we report that germinal center B cells are formed normally after depletion of OCT2 in a conditional knockout mouse but that their proliferation is reduced and in vivo differentiation to antibody-secreting plasma cells is blocked. This led us to examine the role of OCT2 in germinal center derived lymphomas. ShRNA knockdown showed that almost all DLBCL cell lines are addicted to the expression of OCT2 and its co-activator OCA-B. Genome-wide chromatin Immunoprecipitation analysis and gene expression profiling revealed the broad transcriptional program regulated by OCT2 that includes the expression of STAT3, IL10, ELL2, XBP1, MYC, TERT and ADA. Importantly, genetic alteration of OCT2 is not a requirement for cellular addiction in DLBCL. However, we detected amplifications of the POU2F2 locus in DLBCL tumor biopsies as well as a recurrent mutation of threonine 223 in the DNA binding domain of OCT2. This neomorphic mutation subtly alters the DNA binding preference of OCT2 leading to the transactivation of novel target genes including HIF1a and FCRL3. Finally, by introducing mutations designed to disrupt the OCT2-OCA-B interface we reveal a requirement for this protein-protein interface that might ultimately be exploited therapeutically. Our findings, combined with the predominantly B cell restricted expression of OCT2 and the absence of systemic phenotype in our knockout mice, suggest that an OCT2-targeted therapeutic strategy would be efficacious in both major subtypes of DLBCL whilst avoiding systemic toxicity.

Identification of CDKN3 as an independent prognostic marker in LGG correlates with tumor proliferation and immune infiltration

Project description:Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a primary, slow-growing brain tumor; however, its treatment and prognosis remain challenging. In this study, we analyzed cancer data from the TCGA database, focusing particularly on the expression of the CDKN3 gene in LGG. The results showed that high CDKN3 expression in LGG patients was significantly associated with poor survival outcomes. Further gene expression analysis revealed that 379 genes were significantly upregulated in LGG samples with high CDKN3 expression, and these genes were primarily involved in the mitotic cell cycle and extracellular matrix organization. Additionally, high CDKN3 expression was closely linked to key signaling pathways such as tumor inflammation, hypoxic response, and tumor proliferation. Immune microenvironment analysis showed that high CDKN3 expression significantly increased the expression of CD4+ T cells and specific immune checkpoint genes, suggesting a potentially poor response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we confirmed that CDKN3 silencing significantly inhibited the proliferative capacity of LGG cells. Proteomics revealed that CDKN3 can bind ARG1 and upregulate intracellular arginine concentrations. These findings not only improve our understanding of LGG biology but also provide scientific evidence for developing potential therapeutic strategies targeting CDKN3.
