Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare pediatric brain tumor with a median survival of 10-15 months. Histone H3 is mutated in 80% of DIPGs, dictating tumor location, onset, and outcome. Therapeutic resistance remains a major obstacle to preventing tumor recurrence and is in part driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which exhibit self-renewal properties and tumorigenic potential. In previous studies, we have identified these proliferative and tumorigenic features in aldehyde dehydrogenase positive (ALDH+) CSCs in H3K27M mutant DIPG. We hypothesize that ALDH-mediated cancer stemness and resistance may in part be driven by H3K27M. ALDH1A3 expression was reduced in CRISPR-edited DIPG cells (SU-DIPG-XIII) where the H3K27M mutation had been removed (H3K27M-KO). Furthermore, these gained differentiation characteristics and lost their neurosphere-forming potential. The parental (H3K27M) and H3K27M-KO cells were also subjected to ionizing radiation to identify genes responsible for radioresistance in histone-mutated DIPG radioresistance. Nascent transcriptomes were obtained from these cells using bromouridine labeling and capture followed by sequencing (Bru-seq).

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), frequently harboring H3K27M mutations, are lethal pediatric brain tumors within no effective treatment. Here our epigenomic analyses uncover a marked enrichment of the SP/KLF transcription factors in open chromatin regions specifically in H3K27M-mutated DIPG cells compared to normal pontine neural progenitor cells. We show that SP1 depletion or inhibition of SP/KLF DNA binding with EC-8042, an optimized Mithramycin analog, significantly suppresses the proliferation and invasiveness of H3K27M-DIPG cells. In a screen of epigenetic drugs, we find that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) synergize with EC-8042 to suppress H3K27M-DIPG cell growth. The RNA-seq in SU-DIPG-IV and SU-DIPG-XVII cells after treated with DMSO, EC-8042, vorinostat and combination vorinostat with EC-8042 revealed that HDACi activates transcriptional programs that enhance tumor adaptability and invasiveness, an effect counteracted by EC-8042. And EC-8042 in combination with HDACi synergistically represses the expression of cell cycle-associated genes and therefore suppresses H3K27M-DIPG cell proliferation, inhibiting tumor progression in orthotopic xenograft models. Transcriptomic analysis further supports that the combination treatment drives transcriptional programs correlating with favorable prognosis in DIPG patients. Therefore, our regulome profiling in H3K27M-DIPGs has provided mechanistic insights into HDACi resistance and a proof-of-concept for novel targeting therapeutics.

Project description:Background: The histone variant H3.3 K27M mutation is a defining characteristic of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)/diffuse midline glioma (DMG). This histone mutation is responsible for major alterations to histone H3 post-translational modification (PTMs) and subsequent aberrant gene expression. However, much less is known about the effect this mutation has on chromatin structure and function, including open versus closed chromatin regions as well as their transcriptomic consequences. Results: Recently, we developed isogenic CRISPR-edited DIPG cell lines that are wild- type for histone H3.3 that can be compared to their matched K27M lines. Here we show via ATAC-seq analysis that H3.3K27M glioma cells have unique accessible chromatin at regions corresponding to neurogenesis, NOTCH, and neuronal development pathways and associated genes that are overexpressed in H3.3K27M compared to our isogenic wild-type cell line. As to mechanisms, accessible enhancers and super-enhancers corresponding to increased gene expression in H3.3K27M cells were also mapped to genes involved in neurogenesis and NOTCH signaling, suggesting that these pathways are key to DIPG tumor maintenance. Motif analysis implicates specific transcription factors as central to the neuro-oncogenic K27M signaling pathway including, in particular, ASCL1 and NEUROD1. Conclusions: Altogether our findings indicate that H3.3K27M causes chromatin to take on a more accessible configuration at key regulatory regions for NOTCH and neurogenesis genes resulting in increased oncogenic gene expression, which is at least partially reversible upon editing K27M back to wild- type.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an aggressive and incurable childhood brain tumor for which new treatments are needed. A high throughput drug screen of 3600 pharmaceutical compounds found that anti-malarials, including quinacrine had potent activity against DIPG neurospheres. CBL0137 is a novel anti-cancer compound developed from quinacrine, which targets Facilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT), a chromatin remodelling complex involved in transcription, replication, and DNA repair. We have found that CBL0137 displays profound cytotoxic activity against a panel of patient derived DIPG cultures, inhibiting cell proliferation and clonogenic potential, restoring tumor suppressor TP53 and Rb activity and inducing cell death through induction of apoptosis. Moreover, in an orthotopic model of DIPG, treatment with CBL0137 significantly extended animal survival. Histone mutations leading to the loss of histone trimethylation result in epigenetic dysregulation driving DIPG tumorigenesis. Treatment with CBL0137 targets this epigenetic defect, restoring both histone H3.3 acetylation and trimethylation and leading to tumor cell death. Combined epigenetic treatment with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor panobinostat led to inhibition of the Rb/E2F1 pathway, and increased the enzymatic activity of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), leading to the restoration of H3K27 trimethylation. This combination therapy had synergistic activity against DIPG neurospheres with induction of apoptosis. Consistent with the in vitro results, the combination of CBL0137 and panobinostat significantly prolonged the survival of mice bearing DIPG orthografts suggesting a potential treatment strategy for DIPG.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a lethal pediatric cancer driven by H3K27M oncohistones, exhibits aberrant epigenetic regulation and stem-like cell states. Here, we uncover an axis involving H3.3K27M oncohistones, CREB5/ID1, which sustains the stem-like state of DIPG cells, promoting malignancy. We demonstrate that CREB5 mediates elevated ID1 levels in the H3.3K27M/ACVR1WT subtype, promoting tumor growth; while BMP signaling regulates this process in the H3.1K27M/ACVR1MUT subtype. Furthermore, we reveal that H3.3K27M directly enhances CREB5 expression by reshaping the H3K27me3 landscape at the CREB5 locus, particularly at super-enhancer regions. Additionally, we elucidate the collaboration between CREB5 and BRG1, the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex catalytic subunit, in driving oncogenic transcriptional changes in H3.3K27M DIPG. Intriguingly, disrupting CREB5 super-enhancers with ABBV-075 significantly reduces its expression and inhibits H3.3K27M DIPG tumor growth. Combined treatment with ABBV-075 and a BRG1 inhibitor presents a promising therapeutic strategy for clinical translation in H3.3K27M DIPG treatment.
