A MYOD-SKP2 axis boosts tumorigenesis in fusion negative rhabdomyosarcoma by preventing differentiation through p57Kip2 targeting [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric mesenchymal-derived malignancy encompassing Fusion Positive (FP)-RMS expressing PAX3/7-FOXO1 and Fusion Negative (FN)-RMS often mutated in the RAS pathway. RMS expresses the master myogenic transcription factor MYOD that, paradoxically, is unable to support differentiation while essential for tumor cell survival. We identify here SKP2, an oncogenic E3-ubiquitin ligase, as a critical driver of tumorigenesis in FN-RMS. SKP2 is overexpressed in RMS at the highest levels among several adult and pediatric cancers and its expression is maintained by MYOD through an intronic enhancer within the gene. In FN-RMS SKP2 promotes cell cycle progression and prevents differentiation directly targeting p27Kip1 and p57Kip2, respectively, unlocking a transcriptional myogenic program, partly MYOD-dependent, resulting in de novo expression of terminal muscle differentiation markers. SKP2 depletion strongly affects stemness and tumorigenic features in vitro and prevents in vivo tumor growth. The in vitro effects are mirrored by the SKP2 inhibitor SMIP004. Moreover, the investigational NEDDylation inhibitor MLN4924 hampers SKP2 functions restraining FN-RMS cell survival and tumor growth. Our results uncover a MYOD-SKP2 axis crucial for the crosstalk between transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms that contribute to FN-RMS tumorigenesis and broaden the understanding of MYOD function. Furthermore, they suggest inhibition of NEDDylation as a potential therapeutic approach in this tumor.

A MYOD-SKP2 axis boosts tumorigenesis in fusion negative rhabdomyosarcoma by preventing differentiation through p57Kip2 targeting [Hi-ChIP]

Liaison between SNAI2 and MYOD enhances oncogenesis and suppresses differentiation in Fusion-Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric malignancy of mesenchymal origin. Fusion Negative-RMS (FN-RMS) tumors are associated with RAS-pathway activation. RMS tumors express pro-differentiation myogenic transcription factors MYOD and MYOG, yet why they are unable to differentiate is poorly understood. Here we show that SNAI2 is highly expressed in FN-RMS, is regulated by MYOD and blocks myogenic differentiation promoting growth. Molecularly, SNAI2 preferentially binds E-Box-associated enhancer elements and represses expression by dampening enhancer function. SNAI2 inhibits MYOD at a subset of myogenic enhancers associated with terminal differentiation. Functional dissection demonstrates SNAI2 suppresses a MYOG, MEF2 and CDKN1A differentiation program. SNAI2 knockdown transcriptionally mimics a chemical blockade of the mutant RAS signal in FN-RMS, providing new insight connecting the genetic and epigenetic causes of this disease.

TWIST2-Mediated Chromatin Remodeling Promotes Fusion-Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma [RNA-seq Xenograft]

Project description:Sarcomas are derailed in pathways that specify mesenchymal lineages during embryogenesis, causing tumor cells to stall at early stages of differentiation. Among them, rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue sarcoma of skeletal muscle origin. A key feature of RMS is their inability to terminally differentiate despite the high expression of master myogenic regulator MYOD. The bHLH transcription factor TWIST2, which governs mesenchymal stem cell identity and restricts myogenesis, is overexpressed in patient fusion-negative RMS (FN-RMS) tumors. We show that knockdown of TWIST2 enables FN-RMS cells to exit the cell cycle and undergo myogenic differentiation, thereby reducing the growth of FN-RMS xenograft tumors. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that most TWIST2-mediated gene regulation occurs independent of changes in MYOD binding in FN-RMS cells. Instead, TWIST2 controls the deposition of H3K27 acetylation at distal enhancers by interacting with the chromatin remodelers, SMARCA4 and CHD3, to activate growth-related and repress myogenesis-related TWIST2 target genes. Our findings provide new insights into the role of TWIST2 in maintaining an undifferentiated and tumorigenic state of FN-RMS and highlight the clinical potential of reversing the TWIST2-regulated phenotype.

SNAIL is a key regulator of rhabdomyosarcoma progression and myogenic differentiation

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a frequent non-epithelial tumor of soft tissue that originates from a myogenic differentiation defect. Expression of SNAIL transcription factor is elevated in the alveolar subtype of RMS, characterized by a low myogenic differentiation status and high aggressiveness. SNAIL affects RMS metastasis by reorganization of actin cytoskeleton, regulation of ezrin expression and chemotaxis to HGF and SDF-1. The differentiation of human RMS diminishes SNAIL level. SNAIL silencing completely abolishes the growth of human RMS xenotransplants. SNAIL inhibits myogenic differentiation of RMS by binding to the MYF5 promoter, suppressing its expression, displacing MYOD from canonical to alternative E-box sequences and regulating myomiRs expression. SNAIL silencing allows the re-expression of MYF5 and canonical MYOD binding, promoting RMS cell myogenic differentiation. These novel results open potential avenues for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies based on SNAIL silencing.

Transcriptome analysis of genetically engineered murine fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma model-derived cell lines

Project description:Fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma (FN-RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood arising from undifferentiated skeletal muscle cells. Tumor cells derived from genetically engineered murine models are a valid tool to study cancer biology. In order to investigate the poor myogenic commitment of FN-RMS, we performed RNA sequencing of two cell lines derived from a previously described genetically engineered murine model of FN-RMS. We then performed bioinformatics analysis to compare the transcriptome with murine satellite cells, and identify the key factors that distinguish FN-RMS from skeletal muscle cells.

Transcription profiling of human rhabdomyosarcoma cells expressing Myod and E-protein heterodimer and controls

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are characterized by expression of myogenic specification genes, such as MyoD and/or Myf5, as well as their bHLH partners for heterodimerization, the E-proteins. We have shown that expression of a forced heterodimer of MyoD with one of the E2A proteins, E12, leads to differentiation in a RMS cell culture model when exposed to low serum conditions. Experiment Overall Design: RD cells (a type of RMS) were retrovirally infected with either the MyoD~E heterodimer or an empty control vector, differentiated for 24 hours and then RNA collected.

The 3D chromatin landscape of rhabdomyosarcoma [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue cancer with no precision therapy available for affected patients. We hypothesized that with a general paucity of known mutations in RMS, chromatin structural driving mechanisms are essential for tumor proliferation. Thus, we carried out high-depth in situ Hi-C in representative cell lines and patient-derived xenografts to understand chromatin architecture in each major RMS subtype. We report a comprehensive 3D chromatin structural analysis and characterization of fusion-positive (FP-RMS) and fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma (FN-RMS). We have generated spike-in in situ Hi-C chromatin interaction maps for the commonest FP-RMS and FN-RMS cell lines, and compared our data with patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. In our studies we uncover common and distinct structural elements in large Mb-scale chromatin compartments, tumor-essential genes within variable topologically associating domains, and unique patterns of structural variation. This study enables a comprehensive resource for contextualizing gene regulation events in RMS, and high-depth chromatin interactivity maps for identification of functionally critical chromatin domains in this tumor.
