The 3D chromatin landscape of rhabdomyosarcoma [HiC]

ABSTRACT: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue cancer with no precision therapy available for affected patients. We hypothesized that with a general paucity of known mutations in RMS, chromatin structural driving mechanisms are essential for tumor proliferation. Thus, we carried out high-depth in situ Hi-C in representative cell lines and patient-derived xenografts to understand chromatin architecture in each major RMS subtype. We report a comprehensive 3D chromatin structural analysis and characterization of fusion-positive (FP-RMS) and fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma (FN-RMS). We have generated spike-in in situ Hi-C chromatin interaction maps for the commonest FP-RMS and FN-RMS cell lines, and compared our data with patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. In our studies we uncover common and distinct structural elements in large Mb-scale chromatin compartments, tumor-essential genes within variable topologically associating domains, and unique patterns of structural variation. This study enables a comprehensive resource for contextualizing gene regulation events in RMS, and high-depth chromatin interactivity maps for identification of functionally critical chromatin domains in this tumor.

Stem cell and developmental hierarchies in rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood and is comprised of two major molecular subtypes. Despite sharing features with skeletal muscle, the conservation of underlying cellular hierarchy with human muscle development and the identification of molecularly-defined tumor-propagating cells have not been reported. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of patient-derived RMS, DNA-barcode cell fate mapping, and antibody enrichment and functional stem cell assays using in vitro culture and mouse xenografts, we have uncovered tumor cell hierarchies in Fusion-negative (FN-) RMS that are shared with normal human muscle development. We also identified common developmental stages at which tumor cells become arrested. FN-RMS resemble early muscle found in embryonic and larval development, while fusion-positive (FP-)RMS express a highly specific developmental gene program found in muscle cells transiting from embryonic to fetal development at 7-7.75 weeks of age. FP-RMS also have neural-pathway enriched cell states, suggesting less-rigid adherence to muscle development hierarchies in this disease. Finally, we identify a molecularly-defined tumor-propagating cell in FN-RMS that shares remarkable similarity to the newly described bi-potent, muscle mesenchyme stem/progenitor cell that makes both muscle and osteogenic cells.

A MYOD-SKP2 axis boosts tumorigenesis in fusion negative rhabdomyosarcoma by preventing differentiation through p57Kip2 targeting [RNA-seq]

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric mesenchymal-derived malignancy encompassing Fusion Positive (FP)-RMS expressing PAX3/7-FOXO1 and Fusion Negative (FN)-RMS often mutated in the RAS pathway. RMS expresses the master myogenic transcription factor MYOD that, paradoxically, is unable to support differentiation while essential for tumor cell survival. We identify here SKP2, an oncogenic E3-ubiquitin ligase, as a critical driver of tumorigenesis in FN-RMS. SKP2 is overexpressed in RMS at the highest levels among several adult and pediatric cancers and its expression is maintained by MYOD through an intronic enhancer within the gene. In FN-RMS SKP2 promotes cell cycle progression and prevents differentiation directly targeting p27Kip1 and p57Kip2, respectively, unlocking a transcriptional myogenic program, partly MYOD-dependent, resulting in de novo expression of terminal muscle differentiation markers. SKP2 depletion strongly affects stemness and tumorigenic features in vitro and prevents in vivo tumor growth. The in vitro effects are mirrored by the SKP2 inhibitor SMIP004. Moreover, the investigational NEDDylation inhibitor MLN4924 hampers SKP2 functions restraining FN-RMS cell survival and tumor growth. Our results uncover a MYOD-SKP2 axis crucial for the crosstalk between transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms that contribute to FN-RMS tumorigenesis and broaden the understanding of MYOD function. Furthermore, they suggest inhibition of NEDDylation as a potential therapeutic approach in this tumor.

PAX3-FOXO1 dictates myogenic reprogramming and rhabdomyosarcoma identity in endothelial progenitors [RNA-seq]

Project description:Fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS) driven by the expression of the PAX3-FOXO1 (P3F) fusion oncoprotein is an aggressive subtype of pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma. FP-RMS histologically resembles developing muscle yet occurs throughout the body in areas devoid of skeletal muscle highlighting that FP-RMS is not derived from an exclusively myogenic cell of origin. Here we demonstrate that P3F reprograms mouse and human endothelial progenitors to FP-RMS. We show that P3F expression in aP2-Cre expressing cells reprograms endothelial progenitors to functional myogenic stem cells capable of regenerating injured muscle fibers. Further, we describe a FP-RMS mouse model driven by P3F expression and Cdkn2a loss in endothelial cells. Additionally, we show that P3F expression in TP53-null human iPSCs blocks endothelial-directed differentiation and guides cells to become myogenic cells that form FP-RMS tumors in immunocompromised mice. Together these findings demonstrate that FP-RMS can originate from aberrant development of non-myogenic cells driven by P3F.

Dependence of PAX3-FOXO1 chromatin occupancy on ETS1 at important disease-promoting genes exposes new targetable vulnerability in Fusion-Positive Rhabdomyosarcoma [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a malignancy of impaired myogenic differentiation, is the most common soft tissue pediatric cancer. PAX3-FOXO1 oncofusions drive the majority of the clinically more aggressive fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS). Recent studies have established an epigenetic basis for PAX3-FOXO1-driven oncogenic processes. However, details of PAX3-FOXO1 epigenetic mechanisms, including interactions with, and dependence on, other chromatin and transcription factors, are incompletely understood. We previously identified a novel disease-promoting epigenetic axis in RMS, involving the histone demethylase KDM3A and the ETS1 transcription factor, and demonstrated that this epigenetic axis interfaces with PAX3-FOXO1 both phenotypically and transcriptomically, including co-regulation of biological processes and genes important to FP-RMS progression. In this study, we demonstrate that KDM3A and ETS1 colocalize with PAX3-FOXO1 to enhancers of important disease-promoting genes in FP-RMS, including FGF8, IL4R, and MEST, as well as PODXL, which we define herein as a new FP-RMS-promoting gene. We show that ETS1, which is induced by both PAX3-FOXO1 and KDM3A, exists in complex with PAX3-FOXO1, and augments PAX3-FOXO1 chromatin occupancy. We further show that the PAX3-FOXO1/ETS1 complex can be disrupted by the clinically relevant small molecule inhibitor YK-4-279. YK-4-279 displaces PAX3-FOXO1 from chromatin and interferes with PAX3-FOXO1-dependent gene regulation, resulting in potent inhibition of growth and invasive properties in FP-RMS, along with downregulation of FGF8, IL4R, MEST and PODXL expression. We additionally show that, in some FP-RMS, KDM3A also increases PAX3-FOXO1 levels. Together, our studies illuminate mechanisms of action of the KDM3A/ETS1 regulatory module, and reveal novel targetable mechanisms of PAX3-FOXO1 chromatin complex regulation, in FP-RMS.
