Dynamic Chromatin Alteration Induces Oncogenic Hijacking by Essential Transcriptional Factors during Medulloblastoma Tumorigenesis [CUT&Tag]

ABSTRACT: Using ATAC-seq analysis from GNPs to MBSHH we discovered a massive modification in chromatin accessibility during MBSHH formation. Next, using integrative bioinformatics, we identified genes of the nuclear factor I (NFI) family that function as oncogenes on the MBSHH epigenome. We demonstrate not only that these genes are essential in the early stages of murine MBSHHs tumorigenesis, but also that their genetic silencing inhibits tumor growth in murine and human MBSHHs in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we discovered that NFIA/B are post-translationally modified by an activating methylation in MBSHH, making it possibility to target this pathway. Further studies revealed that pharmacological inhibition of this methylated NFIA/B hindered tumor proliferation, demonstrating the requirement of NFIA/B for tumor progression. Collectively our data shed light on the mechanism underlying the epigenome during the formation of the most malignant pediatric brain tumor and emphasizes the importance of deciphering cancer-specific epigenome for identification of new therapeutic avenues.

Common regulatory targets of NFIA, NFIX and NFIB during postnatal cerebellar development

Project description:Transcriptional regulation plays a central role in controlling neural stem and progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation during neurogenesis. For instance, transcription factors from the nuclear factor I (NFI) family have been shown to co-ordinate neural stem and progenitor cell differentiation within multiple regions of the embryonic nervous system, including the neocortex, hippocampus, spinal cord and cerebellum. Knockout of individual Nfi genes culminates in similar phenotypes, suggestive of common target genes for these transcription factors. However, whether or not the NFI family regulates common suites of genes remains poorly defined. Here, we use granule neuron precursors (GNPs) of the postnatal murine cerebellum as a model system to analyse regulatory targets of three members of the NFI family: NFIA, NFIB and NFIX. By integrating transcriptomic profiling (RNA-seq) of Nfia- and Nfix-deficient GNPs with epigenomic profiling (ChIP-seq against NFIA, NFIB and NFIX, and DNase I hypersensitivity assays), we reveal that these transcription factors share a large set of potential transcriptional targets, suggestive of complementary roles for these NFI family members in promoting neural development.

Dynamic Chromatin Alteration Induces Oncogenic Hijacking by Nuclear Factor I Family Proteins for Medulloblastoma Progression

Project description:The cancer-specific epigenome is the critical scaffold on which genetic programs work to positively promote cancer growth and progression. Understanding and appropriately disrupting this epigenome will lead to the discovery of new, more extensive and effective therapies in addition to conventional personalized medicine that relies on genomic mutations. However, the epigenomic changes during the process from normal cells to cancer formation as well as the molecules involved in the maintenance of the aberrant epigenome are still poorly characterized, and the development of epigenome-based therapeutics is therefore undeniably stagnant. To address this issue, we here focus on SHH-subgroup medulloblastoma, a representative pediatric brain tumor for which we developed a reliable mouse model to capture the epigenomic changes that cerebellar granule cells, the cells of origin, undergo during tumorigenesis. By comparing the epigenomes of the different stages of transforming cells, we identified NFI family of developmental factors as oncogenic regulators in the epigenome of pre-cancerous and cancerous cells, which they also contribute to maintain. Furthermore, we report pharmacological experiments demonstrating that inhibition of NFIB methylation blocks tumor growth and increases sensitivity to molecularly targeted drugs by disrupting the cancer epigenome. Thus, this study is a unique example of how epigenomic studies of cancer have led directly to therapeutic insights, and similar approaches in various cancers would accelerate the establishment of novel therapies.

Mouse ESC-derived NSPCs NFIA OE (miRNA)

Project description:Since the NFI transcription factors have been shown to be key regulators of gliogenesis, we utilized this pathway to identify miRNAs involved in the regulation of the neurogenesis-to-gliogenesis switch by neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs). We focused on miRNAs with expression levels that were differentially regulated downstream of NFIA, and established a mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) line that expresses NFIA in a doxycycline (Dox)-dependent manner. NFIA-overexpressing (OE) and control NSPCs (neurospheres) derived from ESCs were purified from their mixed cultures (primary neursphsres (PNs) or secondary neurospheres (SNs) ) by fluorescence activated cell sorting and subjected to miRNAarray analysis.

Control of neurogenic competence in mammalian hypothalamic tanycytes [RNA-seq]

Project description:Hypothalamic tanycytes, radial glial cells that share many features with neuronal progenitors, can generate small numbers of neurons in the postnatal hypothalamus, but the identity of these neurons and the molecular mechanisms that control tanycyte-derived neurogenesis are unknown. We report that tanycyte-specific disruption of the NFI family of transcription factors (Nfia/b/x) stimulates proliferation and tanycyte-derived neurogenesis. Single-cell RNA- and ATAC-Seq analysis reveals that NFI factors repress Shh and Wnt signaling in tanycytes, and small molecule inhibition of these pathways blocks proliferation and tanycyte-derived neurogenesis in Nfia/b/x-deficient mice. We show that Nfia/b/x-deficient tanycytes give rise to multiple mediobasal hypothalamic neuronal subtypes that can mature, integrate into hypothalamic circuitry, and selectively respond to changes in internal states. These findings identify molecular mechanisms controlling tanycyte-derived neurogenesis that can potentially be targeted to selectively remodel hypothalamic neural circuitry controlling homeostatic physiological processes.
