Gene expression profiles associated with myxoid liposarcoma scaffold culture compared to monolayer growth and effect of fusion oncogene FUS-DDIT3

ABSTRACT: Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is the second most common type of liposarcoma and is characterized by the fusion oncogene FUS‐DDIT3 or the less common EWSR1‐DDIT3. FUS-DDIT3 is causative in tumor development, but the molecular function of FUS-DDIT3 remains largely unknown. In addition, the tumor microenvironment is important in MLS development. However, due to a lack of relevant experimental model systems, it has been challenging to examine the microenvironmental impact in MLS development. Therefore, we have developed an in vivo-like experimental model system utilizing cell-free scaffolds derived from myxoid liposarcoma patient-derived xenograft tumors that can be repopulated with tumor cells. To study the effect of FUS-DDIT3 expression in combination with the MLS microenvironment, we analyzed MLS cell lines as well as fibrosarcoma cells with and without ectopic FUS-DDIT3 expression cultured in scaffolds using cells cultured in monolayers as reference. We identified several gene networks and processes that are uniquely associated with FUS-DDIT3 expression as well as microenvironment. The use of in vivo-like experimental systems opens new possibilities to understand tumor development and develop treatments.

Single-cell gene expression profiles associated with myxoid liposarcoma scaffold culture compared to xenograft and effect of fusion oncogene FUS-DDIT3

Project description:Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is the second most common type of liposarcoma and is characterized by the fusion oncogene FUS‐DDIT3 or the less common EWSR1‐DDIT3. While the presence of FUS-DDIT3 as a driver oncoprotein in most MLS cases has been confirmed, the exact molecular action behind the capacity of FUS-DDIT3 for transformation is still unclear and therefore creates a challenge in finding new treatments against this type of cancer. The importance of the microenvironment for tumor progression have long been accepted and might also influence the effect of the fusion oncoprotein. However, due to a lack of relevant experimental model systems, it has been challenging to examine the microenvironmental impact in myxoid liposarcoma development. Therefore, we have developed a new model system utilizing scaffolds derived from myxoid liposarcoma patient-derived xenograft tumors that are decellularized and then repopulated with sarcoma cell lines. This cell culture system mimics in vivo-like tumor cell growth conditions and induce transcriptional changes within the cells. In order to investigate the effect of the microenvironment as well as the fusion oncogene, we analyzed myxoid liposarcoma cell lines as well as fibrosarcoma cells with and without ectopic FUS-DDIT3 expression cultured in scaffolds and adherent two-dimensional growth conditions. We identified several gene networks and processes that are uniquely associated with FUS-DDIT3 expression and with the microenvironment, respectively. The development of patient-derived scaffolds opens up new possibilities to understand tumor development.

Fusion protein-driven IGF-IR/PI3K/AKT signals deregulate Hippo pathway promoting oncogenic cooperation of YAP1 and FUS-DDIT3 in myxoid liposarcoma

Project description:Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) represents a common subtype of liposarcoma molecularly characterized by a recurrent chromosomal translocation that generates a chimeric FUS DDIT3 fusion gene. The FUS-DDIT3 oncoprotein has been shown to be crucial in MLS pathogenesis. Acting as a transcriptional dysregulator, FUS-DDIT3 stimulates proliferation and interferes with adipogenic differentiation. As the fusion protein represents a therapeutically challenging target, a profound understanding of MLS biology is elementary to uncover FUS DDIT3-dependent molecular vulnerabilities. Recently, a specific reliance on the Hippo pathway effector and transcriptional co-regulator YAP1 was detected in MLS; however, details on the molecular mechanism of FUS-DDIT3-dependent YAP1 activation, and YAP1's precise mode of action remain unclear. In elaborate in vitro studies, employing RNA interference-based approaches, small-molecule inhibitors, and stimulation experiments with IGF-II, we show that FUS-DDIT3-driven IGF-IR/PI3K/AKT signaling promotes stability and nuclear accumulation of YAP1 via deregulation of the Hippo pathway. Co-immunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assays revealed nuclear co localization of FUS-DDIT3 and YAP1/TEAD in FUS-DDIT3-expressing mesenchymal stem cells and MLS cell lines. Transcriptome sequencing of MLS cells demonstrated that FUS DDIT3 and YAP1 co-regulate oncogenic gene signatures related to proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and adipogenesis. In adipogenic differentiation assays, we show that YAP1 critically contributes to FUS-DDIT3-mediated adipogenic differentiation arrest. Taken together, our study provides mechanistic insights into a complex FUS-DDIT3-driven network involving IGF-IR/PI3K/AKT signals acting on Hippo/YAP1, and uncovers substantial cooperative effects of YAP1 and FUS-DDIT3 in the pathogenesis of MLS.

Characterisation of a cell-free myxoid liposarcoma patient-derived xenograft scaffold model

Project description:Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is the second most common type of liposarcoma, and today few model systems to study the disease exists. To be able to model the disease in vitro, cell-free scaffolds from MLS patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were generated. The MLS scaffolds were then used as a 3D growth platform for MLS cell lines to study the cancer microenvironments impact on cellular heterogeneity using RNA sequencing. Key components in the microenvironment have also been shown to influence the fraction of cellular subpopulations, such as cancer stem cells and migratory cells but also to promote aggressive features of cancers. Therefore, to better understand and characterize these scaffolds, protein analyses were performed and links between scaffold compositions and the induced gene expression profiles of the cells grown therein could be made. This model system provides a better insight to the composition of the cell-free cancer microenvironment in a rare disease, which can lead to identification of novel malignancy inducing properties in MLS.

Genes regulated by JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib and myxoid liposarcoma-specific fusion onccogene FUS-DDIT3 in HT1080 cells.

Project description:Sarcomas and leukemias that are characterized by FET (FUS, EWSR1, TAF15) fusion oncogenes consist of more than 20 entities. Myxoid liposarcoma, one of the most common FET sarcoma types, is defined by the FUS-DDIT3 or the less common EWSR1-DDIT3 fusion oncogene. Previously, JAK-STAT signaling have been connected to cancer stem cell properties and chemotherapy resistance in myxoid liposarcoma, but the role of FUS-DDIT3 is not known. Therefore, we treated HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells expression FUS-DDIT3 with JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib and performed RNA sequencing of treated and control cells. Additionally, we analyzed native HT1080 cells to be able to compare the induced gene expression changes due to FUS-DDIT3 expression with those induced by JAK-STAT pathway inhibition.

FET fusion oncoprotein-regulated genes in HT1080 cell line

Project description:Some specific sarcomas and leukemias are defined by characteristic FET (FUS, EWSR1, TAF15) fusion oncogenes. Myxoid liposarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the most common entities characterized by FUS-DDIT3 and EWSR1-FLI1, respectively. Here, we performed whole transcriptome analysis of HT1080 cells with either ectopic FUS-DDIT3 or ectopic EWSR1-FLI1 expression.

Identification of FET-oncoprotein-interacting proteins by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry analysis in sarcoma cell lines

Project description:The FET family of fusion oncogenes carry one of the three genes, FUS, EWSR1 or TAF15, as 5’‑partners juxtaposed to one of many different DNA binding transcription factor genes as 3’‑partners. FET fusion oncogenes are pathognomonic for many types of sarcoma and leukemia, such as FUS-DDIT3 in myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) and EWSR1-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma (EWS). We used recombinant FET N-terminal domains in a pulldown screen to find interaction partners to the FET proteins and identified components of the SWI/SNF complex. The ~2 MDa SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex utilizes energy from ATP hydrolysis to remodel nucleosomes and expose DNA. We used immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry or western blot analysis to extensively characterize the interaction between FET fusion oncoproteins and the SWI/SNF complex.

Gene expression profiling of myxoid liposarcomas (validation set INT-B)

Project description:FUS-CHOP and EWS-CHOP balanced translocations characterize myxoid liposarcoma which encompasses myxoid (ML) and round cell (RC) variants initially believed to be distinct diseases. Currently, myxoid and RC liposarcoma are regarded to represent the well differentiated and the poorly differentiated ends, respectively, within spectrum of myxoid liposarcoma where the fusion proteins blocking lipogenic differentiation play a role in tumor initiation while molecular determinants associated to progression to RC remain poorly understood. Activation of AKT pathway sustained by PIK3CA and PTEN mutations and growth factor receptor signalling such as RET and IGF1R have been recently correlated with the increasing of aggressiveness and RC. Aim of the present study is to elucidate molecular events involved in driving round cell progression analyzing two small series of MLS selected to be representative of the two end of the gamut: the pure myxoid (0% of RC component) and RC with high cellular component (≥80%).
