Project description:MYCN is an oncogene amplified in approximately 20% of all neuroblastomas and 50% of high risk neuroblastoma. It is a transcription factor regulating the expression of genes involved in proliferation and apoptosis.We would like to identify genes potentially regulated by MYCN in a conditional MYCN expression system. The SHEP Tet21N system is a conditional, tetracycline-regulated MYCN expression system established in the MYCN non-amplified SHEP neuroblastoma cell line (Lutz et al., 1996). Expression of MYCN is switched off by the addition of tetracycline to the growth medium. Levels of MYCN protein and RNA in the absence of tetracycline are comparable with those present in MYCN amplified cell lines (Bell et al., 2006).<br><br><br><br>By performing microarray analyses on the Tet21n cell lines in the presence and absence of MYCN we hope to identify genes whose expression had been altered by MYCN either upregulated or downregulated and may be potential MYCN targets. The altered expression of some of these genes will then be validated using quantitative RTPCR and a selection will be further investigated to determine if they are MYCN transcriptional targets and may be potential candidates for anti-MYCN therapies for neuroblastoma<br><br><br><br>Specific objectives<br><br>1) To investigate genes which are altered by 2 fold or more in the presence of or absence of MYCN in Tet21N cells.<br><br><br><br>Refs:<br><br>Bell, E., Premkumar, R., Carr, J., Lu, X., Lovat, P.E., Kees, U.R., Lunec, J. & Tweddle, D.A.

Project description:Neuroblastomas are tumors of the developing peripheral sympathetic nervous system, which originates from the neural crest. Twenty percent of neuroblastomas show amplification of the MYCN oncogene, which correlates with poor prognosis. The MYCN transcription factor can activate and repress gene expression. To broaden our insight in the spectrum of genes down-regulated by MYCN, we generated gene expression profiles of the neuroblastoma cell lines SHEP-21N and SKNAS-NmycER, in which MYCN activity can be regulated. In this study, we show that MYCN suppresses the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) in both cell lines. DKK1 is a potent inhibitor of the wnt/beta-catenin signalling cascade, which is known to function in neural crest cell migration. We generated a DKK1 inducible cell line, IMR32-DKK1, which showed impaired proliferation upon DKK1 expression. Surprisingly, DKK1 expression did not inhibit the canonical wnt/beta-catenin signalling, suggesting a role of DKK1 in an alternative route of the wnt pathway. Gene expression profiling of two IMR32-DKK1 clones showed that only a few genes, amongst which SYNPO2, were up-regulated by DKK1. SYNPO2 encodes an actin-binding protein and was previously found to inhibit proliferation and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells. These results suggest that MYCN might stimulate cell proliferation by inhibiting the expression of DKK1. DKK1 might exert part of its growth suppressive effect by induction of SYNPO2 expression.

Project description:Here we sought metabolic alterations specifically associated with amplified MYCN as nodes to indirectly target the MYCN oncogene. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based proteomics identified 7 proteins consistently correlated with MYCN in proteomes from 49 neuroblastoma biopsies and 13 cell lines. Among these were phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo serine synthesis. MYCN associated with two regions in the PHGDH promoter, supporting transcriptional PHGDH regulation by MYCN. Pulsed stable isotope-resolved metabolomics utilizing 13C-glucose labeling demonstrated higher de novo serine synthesis in MYCN-amplified cells compared to cells with diploid MYCN. An independence of MYCN-amplified cells from exogenous serine and glycine was demonstrated by serine and glycine starvation, which attenuated nucleotide pools and proliferation only in cells with diploid MYCN but did not diminish these endpoints in MYCN-amplified cells. Proliferation was attenuated in MYCN-amplified cells by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated PHGDH knockout or treatment with PHGDH small molecule inhibitors without affecting cell viability. PHGDH inhibitors administered as single-agent therapy to NMRI-Foxn1nu/nu mice harboring patient-derived MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma xenografts slowed tumor growth. However, combining a PHGDH inhibitor with the standard-of-care chemotherapy drug, cisplatin, revealed antagonism of chemotherapy efficacy in vivo. Emergence of chemotherapy resistance was confirmed in the genetic PHGDH knockout model in vitro. Altogether, PHDGH knockout and inhibition by small molecules consistently slows proliferation, but stops short of killing the cells, which then establish resistance to classical chemotherapy. Although PHGDH inhibition with small molecules has produced encouraging results in other preclinical cancer models, this approach must be considered with caution in patients with neuroblastoma.
