Extreme structural heterogeneity rewires glioblastoma chromosomes to sustain patient-specific transcriptional programs [CUT&TAG]

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma multiforme encompasses a range of brain malignancies marked by phenotypic and transcriptional heterogeneity, which is thought to render these tumors aggressive, resistant to therapy, and inevitably recurrent. However, little is known about how the spatial organization of glioblastoma genomes underlies this heterogeneity and its effects. We compiled a cohort of 28 patient-derived glioblastoma stem-like lines (GSCs) known to reflect the properties of their tumor-of-origin; six of these came from primary-relapse tumor pairs in the same patient. We generated and analyzed kbp-resolution whole-genome chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data from all GSCs to systematically map >3,100 structural variants (SVs) and >6,300 neoloops. By combining Hi-C, histone modification, and gene expression data with 3D chromatin folding simulations, we explain how the pervasive, uneven, and idiosyncratic occurrence of neoloops sustains tumor-specific transcriptional programs via the formation of new enhancer-promoter contacts. We also exemplify how neoloops, albeit scarcely recurring, can help us infer potential patient-specific vulnerabilities. Thus, our data serve as a resource for dissecting glioblastoma biology and heterogeneity, as well as for informing therapeutic approaches.

Proteomic profiling of glioblastoma stem cells and their small extracellular vesicles

Project description:The heterogeneous nature of glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs) creates hurdles in developing effective therapies against glioblastoma, making it extremely difficult to eradicate. In this part of the project, we investigated the potential role of GSCs-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in glioblastoma heterogeneity, plasticity, and aggressiveness with the particular focus on their complexity in term of proteins. Proteome profiling of sEVs and their respective cell lines showed that GSCs-derived sEVs retain their subtype characteristics and are enriched in proteins playing a role in amino acids, carboxylic acids, organic acids transmembrane transport, and growth factor binding. In summary, we revealed the protein content of GSCs-derived sEVs and unveiled their potential contribution to tumor heterogeneity and critical cellular processes commonly deregulated in glioblastoma.

Targeting EYA2 tyrosine phosphatase activity in glioblastoma stem cells induces mitotic catastrophe

Project description:Glioblastoma ranks among the most lethal of primary brain malignancies, with glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) at the apex of tumor cellular hierarchies. Here, to discover novel therapeutic GSC targets, we interrogated gene expression profiles from GSCs, differentiated glioblastoma cells (DGCs), and neural stem cells (NSCs), revealing EYA2 as preferentially expressed by GSCs. Targeting EYA2 impaired GSC maintenance and induced cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and loss of self-renewal. EYA2 displayed novel localization to centrosomes in GSCs, and EYA2 tyrosine (Tyr) phosphatase activity was essential for proper mitotic spindle assembly and survival of GSCs. Inhibition of the EYA2 Tyr phosphatase activity, via genetic or pharmacological means, mimicked EYA2 loss in GSCs in vitro and extended the survival of tumor-bearing mice. Supporting the clinical relevance of these findings, EYA2 portends poor patient prognosis in glioblastoma. Collectively, our data indicate that EYA2 phosphatase function plays selective critical roles in the growth and survival of GSCs, potentially offering a high therapeutic index for EYA2 inhibitors.

Zika Virus Has Oncolytic Activity against Glioblastoma Stem Cells

Project description:We explored the utility of oncolytic virus therapy against glioblastoma with Zika virus (ZIKV), a flavivirus that induces cell death and differentiation of neural precursor cells in the developing fetus. ZIKV preferentially infected and killed glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) relative to differentiated tumor progeny or normal neuronal cells. The effects against GSCs were not a general property of neurotropic flaviviruses, as West Nile Virus (WNV) indiscriminately killed both tumor and normal neural cells. ZIKV potently depleted patient-derived GSCs grown in culture and in organoids. Moreover, mice with glioblastoma survived substantially longer and at greater rates when the tumor was inoculated with a murine adapted strain of ZIKV. Our results suggest that ZIKV is an oncolytic virus that can preferentially target GSCs, and thus, genetically modified strains that further optimize safety could have therapeutic efficacy for adult glioblastoma patients.

Morphoregulatory ADD3 underlies glioblastoma growth and formation of tumor-tumor connections

Project description:Glioblastoma is a major unmet clinical need characterized by striking inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity and a population of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), conferring aggressiveness and therapy resistance. GSCs communicate through a network of tumor-tumor connections (TTCs), including nanotubes and microtubes, promoting tumor progression. However, very little is known about the mechanisms underlying TTC formation and overall GSC morphology. As GSCs closely resemble neural progenitor cells during neurodevelopment, we hypothesised that GSCs’ morphological features affect tumour progression. We identified GSC morphology as a new layer of tumoral heterogeneity with important consequences on GSC proliferation. Strikingly, we showed that the neurodevelopmental morphoregulator ADD3, is sufficient and necessary for maintaining proper GSC morphology, TTC abundance and cell cycle progression as well as required for cell survival. Remarkably, both the effects on cell morphology and proliferation depend on the stability of actin cytoskeleton. Hence, cell morphology and its regulators play a key role in tumor progression by mediating cell-cell communication. We thus propose that GSC morphological heterogeneity holds the potential to identify new therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers.

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and BMP7 regulate glioblastoma stem cells differentiation status

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) fate is controlled by environmental cues, among which cytokines play a crucial role. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family signaling pathways controls GSCs. On one hand, TGFβ promotes cell proliferation in GBM, it induces the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB). Moreover, TGFβ, via its signaling mediators Smad2/3, induces the expression of the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and Sox4, which in turn enhances the expression of the stem cell transcription factor Sox2; this increases the self-renewal capacity of the GSCs and their stemness characteristics, and enhances the GSC tumor-initiating potential. On the other hand, Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are known to promote GSC differentiation towards the astrocytic phenotype. To further understand which genes are regulated by TGFβ and BMP7 in GSCs we performed a microarray in the Affymetrix HTA2 platform in three different glioblastoma cell line, U2987, and two patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, U3031MG and U3034MG, in the presence or absence of 5 ng/ml of TGFβ or 30 ng/ml BMP7 for 24 h, three biological replicates per condition.

Sorting nexin 10 sustains platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling in glioblastoma stem cells via endosomal protein sorting

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most malignant primary brain tumor for which the prognosis is still dismal despite aggressive surgical, medical, and radiation therapies. Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) promote therapeutic resistance and cellular heterogeneity due to their self-renewal properties and capacity for plasticity. To understand the molecular processes essential for maintaining GSCs, we performed an integrative analysis comparing active enhancer landscapes, transcriptional profiles, and functional genomics profiles of GSCs and non-neoplastic neural stem cells (NSCs). We identified sorting nexin 10 (SNX10), an endosomal protein sorting factor, as selectively expressed in GSCs compared to NSCs and essential for GSC survival. Targeting SNX10 impaired GSC viability and proliferation, induced apoptosis, and reduced self-renewal capacity. Mechanistically, GSCs utilized endosomal protein sorting to promote platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) proliferative and stem cell signaling pathways via post-transcriptional regulation of the PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase. Targeting SNX10 expression extended survival of orthotopic xenograft-bearing mice, and high SNX10 expression correlated with poor glioblastoma patient prognosis, suggesting its potential clinical importance. Thus, our study reveals an essential connection between endosomal protein sorting and oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase signaling and suggests that targeting endosomal sorting may represent a promising therapeutic approach for glioblastoma treatment.

Glioma Stem Cell Specific Super Enhancer Drives Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Synthesis to Support EGFR Signaling

Project description:Glioblastoma ranks among the most aggressive and lethal of all human cancers. Functionally defined glioma stem cells (GSCs) contribute to this poor prognosis by driving therapeutic resistance and maintenance of cellular heterogeneity. To understand the molecular processes essential for GSC maintenance and tumorigenicity, we interrogated the super-enhancer landscapes of primary glioblastoma specimens and in vitro GSCs. GSCs epigenetically upregulated ELOVL2, a key polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis enzyme. Targeting ELOVL2 inhibited glioblastoma cell growth and tumor initiation. ELOVL2 depletion altered cellular membrane phospholipid composition, disrupted membrane structural properties, and diminished EGFR signaling through control of fatty acid elongation. In support of the translational potential of these findings, dual targeting of polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis and EGFR signaling had a combinatorial cytotoxic effect on GSCs.
