Neuroendocrine lineage commitment of small cell lung cancers can be leveraged into p53-independent non-cytotoxic therapy [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Small cell lung cancers (SCLC) rapidly resist cytotoxic chemotherapy and immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatments. New, non-cross-resistant therapies are thus needed. SCLC cells are committed into neuroendocrine-lineage then maturation-arrested. The corepressor DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) mediates the maturation-arrests: (i) the repression mark methylated-CpG, written by DNMT1, is retained at suppressed neuroendocrine-lineage genes, even as other repression marks are erased; (ii) DNMT1 is recurrently amplified, while Ten-Eleven-Translocation 2 (TET2) that functionally opposes DNMT1 is deleted; (iii) DNMT1 is recruited into neuroendocrine-lineage master transcription factor (ASCL1, NEUROD1) hubs in SCLC cells; and (iv) DNMT1 knock-down activated ASCL1-target genes and released SCLC cell cycling exits by terminal lineage-maturation, cycling exits that do not require the p53/apoptosis-pathway used by cytotoxic chemotherapy. Inhibiting DNMT1/corepressors with clinical compounds accordingly extended survival of mice with chemo- and ICI-refractory disseminated SCLC. Neuroendocrine-lineage commitment of SCLC cells can thus be leveraged into p53/apoptosis-independent therapy, active against chemo- and ICI-refractory SCLC.

Distinct Function for ASCL1 and NEUROD1 in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) are high-grade pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors. The neural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1 have been shown to play crucial roles in promoting the malignant behavior and survival of human SCLC cell lines. In this study, we find ASCL1 and NEUROD1 identify distinct neuroendocrine tumors, bind distinct genomic loci, and regulate mostly distinct genes. ASCL1 and NEUROD1 are often bound in super-enhancers that are associated with highly expressed genes in their respective SCLC cell lines suggesting different cell lineage of origin for these tumors. ASCL1 targets oncogenic genes such as MYCL1, RET, and NFIB, while NEUROD1 targets the oncogenic gene MYC. Although ASCL1 and NEUROD1 regulate different genes, many of these gene targets commonly contribute to neuroendocrine and cell migration function. ASCL1 in particular also regulates genes in the NOTCH pathway and genes important in cell-cycle dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate ASCL1 but not NEUROD1 is required for SCLC and LCNEC tumor formation in current in vivo genetic mouse models of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors ChIP-seq analysis performed on three ASCL1high and two NEUROD1high human SCLC cell lines to identify ASCL1 and/or NEUROD1 binding sites in these two types of cells. Also, we performed ChIP-seq for Ascl1 binding sites in mouse neuroendocrine lung tumors obtained from Trp53;Rb1;Rbl2 triple knockout model mice treated with Adeno-CMVCRE intratracheally.

ASCL1 represses a SOX9+ neural-crest-stem-like state in small cell lung cancer

Project description:ASCL1 is a neuroendocrine-lineage-specific oncogenic driver of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), highly expressed in a significant fraction of tumors. However, ~25% of human SCLC are ASCL1-low and associated with low-neuroendocrine fate and high MYC expression. Using genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMMs), we show that alterations in Rb1/Trp53/Myc in the mouse lung induce an ASCL1+ state of SCLC in multiple cells of origin. Genetic depletion of ASCL1 in MYC-driven SCLC dramatically inhibits tumor initiation and progression to the NEUROD1+ subtype of SCLC. Surprisingly, ASCL1 loss promotes a SOX9+ mesenchymal/neural-crest-stem-like state and the emergence of bone and more rarely, cartilaginous tumors. ASCL1 is critical for expression of key lineage-related transcription factors NKX2-1, FOXA2, and INSM1, and represses regulators of Hippo, Wnt and Notch developmental pathways in vivo. ASCL1 also represses SOX9 expression in human SCLC cells, suggesting a conserved function for ASCL1. Here, we utilize single-cell RNA sequencing to capture transcriptomic signatures of RPM (Rb1/Trp53/Myc), RPR2 (Rb1/Trp53/Rbl2), and RPMA (Rb1/Trp53/Myc/Ascl1) GEMM tumors to support our conclusion that in MYC-driven SCLC, ASCL1 promotes neuroendocrine fate and represses the emergence of SOX9+ non-endodermal stem-like or mesenchymal fates. These data were integrated with 4 additional invasive RPM tumors from NCBI GEO: GSE149180.

ASCL1 represses a latent osteogenic program in small cell lung cancer in multiple cells of origin [RNA-Seq]

Project description:ASCL1 is a neuroendocrine-lineage-specific oncogenic driver of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), highly expressed in a significant fraction of tumors. However, ~25% of human SCLC are ASCL1-low and associated with low-neuroendocrine fate and high MYC expression. Using genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMMs), we show that alterations in Rb1/Trp53/Myc in the mouse lung induce an ASCL1+ state of SCLC in multiple cell types. Genetic depletion of ASCL1 in MYC-driven SCLC dramatically inhibits tumor initiation, but surprisingly converts tumors to a SOX9+mesenchymal/neural-crest-stem-like state that has the capacity to differentiate into RUNX2+bone tumors. ASCL1 represses SOX9 expression, as well as WNT and NOTCH developmental pathways, consistent with human gene expression data. SCLC demonstrates remarkable cell fate plasticity with ASCL1 repressing the emergence of non-endodermal stem-like fates that have the capacity for bone differentiation. Here we perform bulk RNA sequencing on RPMA tumor samples to compare gene expression patterrns with RPM tumors with intact ASCL1.

Prototypical oncogene family Myc defines unappreciated distinct lineage states of small cell lung cancer [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) frequently harbors mutually exclusive genomic amplification of MYC family members. Therefore, it has been long suggested that they are functionally equivalent; however, more recently, their expression has been associated with specific neuroendocrine markers and distinct histopathology. Integrated transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses showed that c-Myc and L-Myc impart neuronal and non-neuroendocrine associated transcriptional programs, respectively, both associated with distinct SCLC lineage. Genetic replacement of c-Myc with L-Myc in c-Myc-SCLC induced a neuronal state but was insufficient to induce ASCL1 lineage. In contrast, c-Myc induced transition from ASCL1-SCLC to NeuroD1-SCLC characterized by distinct LCNEC-like histopathology. Collectively, we characterize an undescribed role of historically defined general oncogenes, c-Myc and L-Myc, for regulating lineage plasticity across molecular subtypes as well as histological subclasses.
