Project description:Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene amplification and mutations are the most common oncogenic events in Glioblastoma (GBM), but the mechanisms by which they promote aggressive tumor growth are not well understood. Here, through integrated epigenome and transcriptome analyses of cell lines, genotyped clinical samples and TCGA data, we show that EGFR mutations remodel the activated enhancer landscape of GBM, promoting tumorigenesis through a SOX9 and FOXG1-dependent transcriptional regulatory network in vitro and in vivo. The most common EGFR mutation, EGFRvIII, sensitizes GBM cells to the BET-bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 in a SOX9, FOXG1-dependent manner. These results identify the role of transcriptional/epigenetic remodeling in EGFR-dependent pathogenesis and suggest a mechanistic basis for epigenetic therapy. ChIP-Seq for H3K27ac, H3K4me1, and H3K4me3, and RNA-seq for Glioblastoma (GBM) cells and/or tissues with or without EGFRvIII mutation.

Project description:EGFRvIII is the most common deletion mutant of EGFR in human cancer and its levels are highly correlated with poor prognosis in GBM. The deletion of exons 2-7 removes most of the extracellular ligand binding domain, so it is unable to bind EGF or other EGFR-binding ligands. Nevertheless, the mutant receptor is constitutively phosphorylated, and is capable of activating downstream signaling pathways at a low level. To comprehensively identify the downstream signaling consequences of the EGFRvIII, we incorporated phosphoproteomic, transcription profiling and DNase-Seq data from U87MG glioblastoma cells expressing titrated levels of this mutant receptor. Total RNA were extracted from U87MG cells engineered to expressed different levels of EGFRvIII: medium (U87M; 1.5 million copies of EGFRvIII receptor per cell), high (U87H; 2 million copies per cell), super-high (U87SH; 2.5 million copies per cell), and kinase-dead EGFRvIII (U87DK; 2 million copies of kinase dead EGFRvIII per cell). RNA was hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Analysis of mouse glioma tumors (in RAG1-/- mouse host) overexpressing Control(C) or Slug(S) viruses, and treated with doxycyclin(D) to turn off EGFRviii expression. Results provide insight into molecular basis of EGFRviii targeted therapy-induced resistence in GBM. By utilizing animals engineered with doxycycline (dox)-off oncogenic EGFRvIII transgene and conditional Ink4a/Arf and Pten alleles (Nestin-CreERT2; Ink4aL/L; PtenL/L; hGFAP_tTA; tetO-EGFRvIII, designated iEIP), we previously demonstrated that sustained oncogenic EGFR signaling was required for maintenance of EGFR-driven glioma progression and suppression of oncogenic EGFRvIII transgene expression induces tumor regression. But despite of a robust initial response, the regressed tumors relapsed inevitably. The finding that relapsed tumors had escaped oncogenic EGFR signaling addiction promoted our search for potential genetic events that might fuel the resistance development. Three relapse and two matched treatment-naïve tumors derived from the same parental line were analyzed by whole exome sequencing.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive and heterogeneous form of primary brain tumors, driven by a complex repertoire of oncogenic alterations, including the constitutively active epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFRvIII). EGFRvIII impacts both cell-intrinsic and non-cell autonomous aspects of GBM progression, including cell invasion, angiogenesis and modulation of the tumor microenvoiront, this is, at least in part, attributable to the release and intercellular trafficking of extracellular vesicles (EVs), heterogeneous membrane structures containing multiple bioactive macromolecules. Here we analyzed the impact of EGFRvIII on the profile of glioma EVs using a series of isogenic tumor cell lines, in which this oncogene exhibits a strong transforming activity. Thus, we observed that EGFRvIII expression alters several properties of glioma EVs, including their output and global protein composition. Using mass spectrometry, quantitative proteomic analysis and Gene Ontology terms filters, we observed that EVs released by EGFRVIII-transformed cells were enriched for extracellular exosome and focal adhesion related proteins. Among them, we validated the association of pro-invasive proteins (CD44, BSG, CD151) with EVs of EGFRvIII expressing cells, and down-regulation of exosomal markers (CD81 and CD82) in EVs of their indolent counterparts. Nano-flow cytometry revealed that the EV output from individual glioma cell lines was highly heterogeneous, such that only a fraction of EVs contained specific proteins such as EGFR, CD9, or others. Notably, cells expressing EGFRvIII released ample EVs double positive for CD44/BSG, and these proteins also co-localized in cellular filopodia. We also detected the expression of homophilic adhesion molecules and increased homologous EV uptake by EGFRvIII-positive glioma cells. These results suggest that oncogenic EGFRvIII reprograms the proteome of GBM-related EVs, a notion with considerable implications for their biological activity and properties relevant for development of EV-based cancer biomarkers.

Project description:Next generation sequencing platforms were used to identify STAT3 targets in the background of EGFRvIII expresssion mRNA of 3 EGFRvIII positive brain tumor stem cell lines (BTSC #68, 73, and 90) were compared to an EGFRvIII negative line (#41) to identify EGFRvIII-regulated targets in human BTSC. EGFRvIII-dependent targets in mouse astrocytes were identified by mRNA-seq analyses of EGFRvIII- or MSCV-expressing astrocytes. STAT3-differentially regulated genes in EGFRvIII expressing mouse astrocytes were obtained by subjecting EGFRvIII,STAT3f/f and EGFRvIII, STAT3-/- astrocytes to mRNA-Seq analyses. Sites of STAT3 occupancy in EGFRvIII expressing astrocytes were identified by ChIP-Seq using a STAT3 antibody or IgG control. We identified OSMR as a direct target of STAT3 in both EGFRvIII-expressing human BTSC and mouse astrocytes. Therefore to identify OSMR-regulated genes, we used a lentiviral mediated RNAi system to knockdown OSMR in EGFRvIII-expressing astrocytes. OSMR-dependent differentially expressed genes were obtained by comparison of OSMR knockdown (KD1 and KD2) astrocytes to control groups (ShRNA control and Vector control)
