BET inhibitors target the SCLC-N subtype of small-cell lung cancer by blocking NEUROD1 transactivation

ABSTRACT: Small cell lung cancer can be divided into several molecular subtypes based on the expression of four master transcription factors (ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1). These master factors have not been directly druggable, and we hypothesized that targeting their transcriptional coactivator(s) could provide an alternative approach. Here, we identify that BET bromodomain proteins physically interact with NEUROD1 and function as transcriptional coactivators. Using CRISPR knockout and ChIP-seq, we demonstrate that NEUROD1 plays a critical role in defining the landscapes of BET bromodomain proteins in the SCLC genome. Targeting BET bromodomain proteins by BET inhibitors leads to broad suppression of the NEUROD1-target genes, especially those associated with superenhancers, and reduces SCLC growth in vitro and in vivo. LSAMP, a membrane protein in the IgLON family, was identified as one of the NEUROD1-target genes mediating BET inhibitor sensitivity in SCLC. Altogether, our study reveals that targeting transcriptional coactivators could be a novel approach to blocking the master transcription factors in SCLC for therapeutic purposes. The goals for this part of the study were: 1) to identify the NEUROD1 target genes in the SCLC-N subtype small cell lung cancer. To this end, we knocked out NEUROD1 in H446 cells (SCLC-N subtype) by CRISPR and assessed gene expression alterations in three knockout and three control clones. An integrated analysis of the RNA-seq data and the NEUROD1 ChIP-seq data was performed to identify the NEUROD1 target genes; 2) to assess how NEUROD1 knockout affects the response to JQ1 (a BET inhibitor).

ChIP-seq of NeuroD1 and H3K4me3 in SCLC cells

Project description:We hypothesized that functional polymorphisms in NEUROD1 target genes may also affect the clinical outcomes of patients with SCLC, as NEUROD1 plays a crucial role in SCLC carcinogenesis. To test this hypothesis, we performed ChIP-seq of NeuroD1 and H3K4me3 in SCLC cells. Then we evaluated the association between putative functional polymorphisms in NEUROD1 target genes and the chemotherapy response and survival outcomes of patients with SCLC.

Distinct Function for ASCL1 and NEUROD1 in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) are high-grade pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors. The neural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1 have been shown to play crucial roles in promoting the malignant behavior and survival of human SCLC cell lines. In this study, we find ASCL1 and NEUROD1 identify distinct neuroendocrine tumors, bind distinct genomic loci, and regulate mostly distinct genes. ASCL1 and NEUROD1 are often bound in super-enhancers that are associated with highly expressed genes in their respective SCLC cell lines suggesting different cell lineage of origin for these tumors. ASCL1 targets oncogenic genes such as MYCL1, RET, and NFIB, while NEUROD1 targets the oncogenic gene MYC. Although ASCL1 and NEUROD1 regulate different genes, many of these gene targets commonly contribute to neuroendocrine and cell migration function. ASCL1 in particular also regulates genes in the NOTCH pathway and genes important in cell-cycle dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate ASCL1 but not NEUROD1 is required for SCLC and LCNEC tumor formation in current in vivo genetic mouse models of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors ChIP-seq analysis performed on three ASCL1high and two NEUROD1high human SCLC cell lines to identify ASCL1 and/or NEUROD1 binding sites in these two types of cells. Also, we performed ChIP-seq for Ascl1 binding sites in mouse neuroendocrine lung tumors obtained from Trp53;Rb1;Rbl2 triple knockout model mice treated with Adeno-CMVCRE intratracheally.

BET bromodomain proteins regulate enhancer function during adipogenesis

Project description:Developmental transitions are guided by master regulatory transcription factors. During adipogenesis, a transcriptional cascade culminates in expression of PPARg and C/EBPa, which orchestrate activation of the adipocyte gene expression program. However, the coactivators controlling PPARg and C/EBPa expression are less well characterized. Here we show the bromodomain-containing protein, BRD4, regulates transcription of PPARg and C/EBPa. Analysis of BRD4 chromatin occupancy reveals that induction of adipogenesis in 3T3L1 fibroblasts provokes dynamic redistribution of BRD4 to de novo super enhancers proximal to genes controlling adipocyte differentiation. BET bromodomain inhibition impedes BRD4 occupancy at these de novo enhancers and disrupts transcription of Pparg and Cebpa, thereby blocking adipogenesis. Furthermore, silencing of these BRD4-occupied distal regulatory elements at the Pparg locus by CRISPRi demonstrates a critical role for these enhancers in the control of Pparg gene expression and adipogenesis in 3T3L1s. Together, these data establish BET bromodomain proteins as time- and context-dependent coactivators of the adipocyte cell state transition.

Inhibition of Karyopherin β1-mediated nuclear import of lineage-defining TFs in small cell lung cancer

Project description:Extensive genomic studies support the classification of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) into subtypes based on expression of lineage-defining transcription factors including ASCL1 and NEUROD1, which together account for ~80% of this disease. ASCL1 and NEUROD1 activate SCLC oncogene expression and drive distinct transcriptional programs. ASCL1 is also required for tumorigenesis in SCLC mouse models, and both ASCL1 and NEUROD1 maintain the in vitro growth and oncogenic properties of ASCL1+ or NEUROD1+ SCLC cell lines. Strategies to inhibit ASCL1 and NEUROD1 may therefore represent an attractive, targeted SCLC therapy and provide a tool to investigate the underlying plasticity of the predominant SCLC subtypes. However, ASCL1 and NEUROD1 have long been considered “undruggable” vulnerabilities. Here, we use a proteomic approach to identify Karyopherin β1 (KPNB1) as a nuclear import receptor for ASCL1 and NEUROD1 in SCLC, and demonstrate that the inhibition of KPNB1 using a variety of genetic or pharmacological approaches leads to impaired ASCL1 and NEUROD1 nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activity. Pharmacological targeting of KPNB1 preferentially disrupts ASCL1/NEUROD1+ SCLC cell line growth in vitro and ASCL1+ tumor growth in an in vivo patient derived xenograft (PDX) model of SCLC.

Global gene expression response to BET inhibition in two cancer cell lines

Project description:The MYC transcription factor is a master regulator of diverse cancer pathways and somatic cell reprogramming. MYC is a compelling therapeutic target that exhibits cancer-specific cellular effects. Pharmacologic inhibition of MYC function has proven challenging due to its numerous modes of forced expression and the difficulty of disrupting protein-DNA interactions. Here we demonstrate the rapid and potent abrogation of MYC gene transcription by representative small molecule bromodomain inhibitors of the BET family of chromatin adaptors. This transcriptional suppression of MYC was observed in the context of the natural, chromosomally translocated, and amplified gene locus. Inhibition of BET bromodomain-promoter interactions and subsequent reduction of MYC transcript and protein levels resulted in G1 arrest and extensive apoptosis in a variety of leukemia and lymphoma cell lines. Exogenous expression of MYC from an artificial promoter that is resistant to BET regulation significantly protected cells from growth suppression by BET inhibitors and revealed that MYC exerts a direct and tight control of key pro-growth and anti-apoptotic target genes. Transcriptional profiling of two cells after 4 and 8 hours of treatment with BET inhibitor shows that both MYC and its targets are strongly down-regulated. We thus demonstrate that pharmacologic inhibition of MYC is achievable through targeting BET bromodomains, and suggest that such inhibitors may have broad clinical applicability given the widespread pathogenetic role of MYC in cancer. LP-1, a multiple myeloma cell line, and Raji, a Burkitt lymphoma cell line, were treated with BET inhibitor and an inactive enantiomer for 4 or 8 hours. Two biological replicates of each sample were profiled on exon arrays.

KDM6A Epigenetically Regulates Subtype Plasticity in Small Cell Lung Cancer (scatac)

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) exists broadly in four molecular subtypes: ASCL1, NEUROD1,POU2F3, and Inflammatory. Initially SCLC subtypes were thought to be mutually exclusive, butrecent evidence shows intra-tumoral subtype heterogeneity and plasticity between subtypes.Using a CRISPR-based autochthonous SCLC GEMM to study the consequences of KDM6A/UTXinactivation, we found that KDM6A inactivation induced plasticity from ASCL1 to NEUROD1resulting in SCLC tumors with open chromatin at the NEUROD1 promoter that express bothASCL1 and NEUROD1. Mechanistically, KDM6A binds and maintains ASCL1 target genes in anactive chromatin state with its loss increasing H3K27me3 near their promoters leading to a cell state that is primed for ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype switching. This work identifies KDM6A as \an epigenetic regulator that controls ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype plasticity and provides a novel autochthonous SCLC GEMM to model ASCL1 and NEUROD1 subtype heterogeneity and plasticity, which is found in 35-40% of human SCLCs.
