Integrative Single Cell Multiomic Profiling Analysis Reveals HOX-PBX Gene Regulatory Network Regulating the Survival of mTOR Hyperactive Cells [snATAC-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, debilitating lung disease that predominantly affects women of reproductive age. LAM cells carry deleterious mutations of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC1/TSC2) genes, resulting in hyperactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and ultimately dysregulated cell growth. The integrative single cell omics data identified the activation of uterine specific HOX-PBX transcriptional programming in pulmonary LAMCORE cells. Network analysis predicted homeobox transcription factors including PBX1 and HOXD11 as key regulators controlling LAMCORE cell fate. Targeting the HOX-PBX network may have therapeutic value in LAM and TSC-related diseases, and possibly in other mTORC1-hyperactive neoplasms.
