Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (Atm) disruption sensitizes spatially-directed H3.3K27M/TP53 diffuse midline gliomas to radiation therapy

ABSTRACT: Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are lethal brain tumors characterized by inactivating p53 mutations and oncohistone H3.3K27M mutations that rewire the cellular response to genotoxic stress, presenting therapeutic opportunities. We used RCAS/tv-a retroviruses and Cre recombinase to inactivate p53 and induce K27M in the native H3f3a allele in a lineage- and spatially-directed manner, yielding primary mouse DMGs. Disruption of the DNA damage response kinase Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (Atm) enhanced the efficacy of focal brain irradiation, extending mouse survival. This finding suggests that targeting ATM will enhance the efficacy of radiation therapy for p53-mutant DMG but not p53-wildtype DMG. We used spatial in situ transcriptomics and an allelic series of primary murine DMG models to identify transactivation-independent p53 activity as the key mediator of such radiosensitivity.

A Novel Mouse Model of Diffuse Midline Glioma Initiated in Neonatal Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells Highlights Cell- of-origin Dependent Effects of H3K27M III

Project description:Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a type of lethal brain tumor that develops mainly in children. The majority of DMG harbor the K27M mutation in histone H3. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the brainstem are candidate cells-of-origin for DMG, yet there is no genetically engineered mouse model of DMG initiated in OPCs. Here, we used the RCAS/Tv-a avian retroviral system to generate DMG in Olig2-expressing progenitors and Nestin-expressing progenitors in the neonatal mouse brainstem. PDGF-B overexpression, along with p53 deletion, resulted in gliomas. Exogenous overexpression of H3.3K27M had a significant effect on tumor latency and tumor cell proliferation when compared with H3.3WT in Nestin+ cells but not in Olig2+ cells. Further, the fraction of H3.3K27M-positive cells was significantly lower in DMGs initiated in Olig2+ cells relative to Nestin+ cells, suggesting that the requirement for H3.3K27M is reduced when tumorigenesis is initiated in Olig2+ cells. Interestingly, H3K27 trimethylation was decreased with H3.3K27M induction even in Olig2+ cells. Therefore, we need to find if there is transcriptional changes for the tumorigenesis with H3.3K27M in Olig2+ cells.

A Novel Mouse Model of Diffuse Midline Glioma Initiated in Neonatal Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells Highlights Cell- of-origin Dependent Effects of H3K27M I

Project description:Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a type of lethal brain tumor that develops mainly in children. The majority of DMG harbor the K27M mutation in histone H3. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the brainstem are candidate cells-of-origin for DMG, yet there is no genetically engineered mouse model of DMG initiated in OPCs. Here, we used the RCAS/Tv-a avian retroviral system to generate DMG in Olig2-expressing progenitors and Nestin-expressing progenitors in the neonatal mouse brainstem. PDGF-A or PDGF-B overexpression, along with p53 deletion, resulted in gliomas in both models. Exogenous overexpression of H3.3K27M had a significant effect on tumor latency and tumor cell proliferation when compared with H3.3WT in Nestin+ cells but not in Olig2+ cells. Further, the fraction of H3.3K27M-positive cells was significantly lower in DMGs initiated in Olig2+ cells relative to Nestin+ cells, both in PDGF-A and PDGF-B-driven models, suggesting that the requirement for H3.3K27M is increased when tumorigenesis is initiated in Nestin+ cells. Therefore, we need to find how the tumorigenic effects of H3.3K27M are more oncogenic in Nestin+ cells than Olig2+ cells.

Cell-of-origin and Developmental Trajectories Cooperate to Determine Chromatin Landscapes in Histone-Mutant Diffuse Midline Gliomas

Project description:Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are universally fatal pediatric brain tumors associated with mutations in genes encoding either histone H3.1 or histone 3.3, often substitution of methionine for lysine 27 (H3K27M). H3K27 is a critical determinant of chromatin state via methylation by Enhancer-of-Zeste-Homolog-2 (EZH2). Previous reports have suggested that the pathologically low levels of H3K27me3 found in histone-mutant DMGs result primarily from H3K27M inhibiting EZH2 directly, but recent reports have called this model into question. To better understand the chromatin landscape of DMGs, we applied CUT&RUN to patient-derived DMG cell lines. Remarkably, we find that the PRC2 activity is similar in DMGs and embryonic stem cells, suggesting a primitive cell-of-origin, despite transcriptionally active regions maintaining markers of both stem cells and differentiated cells. We also show that exogenous expression of H3.3M at physiological levels has little effect on H3K27me3 levels, that H3K27M can colocalize with H3K27me3 in vivo and that the H3.3K27M oncohistone does not show evidence of sequestering PRC2 components. Our results suggest that chromatin landscapes in DMGs are a consequence of a stem-like chromatin state that is retained despite activation of differentiation programs. Our findings have implications for understanding DMG gliomagenesis and therapeutic approaches centered on epigenome-modifying agents.

Novel genetically engineered H3.3G34R model reveals cooperation with ATRX loss in upregulation of PRC2 targets, NOTCH activation, promotion of neuronal lineage

Project description:Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs) are an aggressive pediatric CNS tumor, often characterized by mutations in H3F3A, the gene that encodes Histone H3.3 (H3.3). Substitution of the Glycine at position 34 of H3.3 with either Arginine or Valine (H3.3G34R/V), was recently described and characterized in a large cohort of pHGG samples as occurring in 5-20% of pHGGs. We developed a genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) that incorporates PDGF-A activation, TP53 loss and the H3.3G34R mutation both in the presence and loss of Alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX), which is commonly mutated in H3.3G34 mutant pHGGs. Nestin Tv-a; p53 fl/fl and Nestin Tv-a; p53 fl/fl; ATRX fl/fl mice were injected with DF-1 cells transfected with RCAS-Cre, RCAS-PDGFA, and either RCAS-H3.3WT-GFP or RCAS-H3.3G34R-GFP. By 210 days old, a majority of mice develop symptoms of tumor growth (erratic behavior, domed head, ataxia) or have 20% weight loss and are euthanized. Our goal is to develop a biologically relevant animal model of pHGG in order to probe the downstream effects of the H3.3G34R mutation in the context of vital co-occurring mutations.

Effects of the Combination Therapy of a CDK4/6 and a MEK inhibitor in a Mouse Model of Diffuse Midline Glioma

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) arises in the brainstem of children, leading tumor-related death among children. A heterozygous histone H3.3K27M mutation has been shown to occur in ~80% of DIPGs, and results in brainstem gliomagenesis. There is no clinical trial for the patients with DIPG that proved to prolong survival time so far. Recently, CDK4/6 inhibitor showed feasibility and early therapeutic effect against DIPG. Also, recent research with human DIPG specimens have detected the MAPK pathway highly activated. Here, we evaluated a novel combination therapy with CDK4/6 inhibitor and MEK inhibitor to the mouse DIPG model. In order to generate DIPG‐bearing mice, we are using the RCAS/Tv‐a system, with which we are able to target specific genetic alterations in RCAS viruses (avian retroviruses) to specific cells‐of‐origin using transgenic Tv‐a‐expressing mice (Tv‐a being the receptor for RCAS viruses). We injected P3‐P5 Nestin-Tv-a;p53fl/fl mice (C56Bl/6 background) with RCAS‐PDGF‐A + RCAS‐H3.3K27M, and RCAS-Cre. The mice are treated with vehicle (methylcellurose), ribociclib as monotherapy, trametinib as monotherapy, and ribociclib and combination as combination. For short-term use, tumor tissues treated with ribociclib showed cytostatic effect, and those treated with trametinib showed cytotoxic effect, and those with combination showed both. Long-term use showed that combination therapy modestly prolonged mice survival compared with vehicle. Therefore, we need to find how DIPG showed registence to the long-term chemotherapy.

Integrated analyses reveal two molecularly and clinically distinct subtypes of H3 K27M-mutant diffuse midline gliomas with prognostic significance

Project description:We identified two subgroups of diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) with unsupervised hierarchical cluster analyses of DNA methylation data from 149 DMGs derived from different localisations: DMG-A and DMG-B. The two epigenetic DMG-subtypes have different characteristics: DMG-A are enriched for cases with MAPK-signalling-pathway associated mutations, a methylated MGMT-promoter, medullary localisation and adult age, while DMG-B are enriched for cases with TP53-mutations, PDGFRA-amplifications, pontine localisation and paediatric patients. DMG-A have a significantly better overall survival compared to DMG-B (p < 0.001). This effect on survival is larger than that of all other parameters tested, and all other parameters are dependent on the cluster attribution. Hence, the subtype attribution based on two methylation clusters is best suited to predict survival as it integrates different molecular and clinical parameters.

The H3.3K27M oncohistone antagonizes reprogramming in Drosophila

Project description:Development proceeds by the activation of genes by transcription factors and the inactivation of others by chromatin-mediated gene silencing. In some cases development can be reversed or redirected by mis-expression of master regulator transcription factors. This must involve the activation of previously silenced genes, and such developmental aberrations are thought to underlie a variety of cancers. Here, we express the wing-specific Vestigial master regulator to reprogram the developing eye, and test the role of silencing in reprogramming using an H3.3K27M oncohistone mutation that dominantly inhibits histone H3K27 trimethylation. We find that expression of the oncohistone blocks eye-to-wing reprogramming. CUT&Tag chromatin profiling of mutant tissues shows that H3K27me3 domains are globally reduced with oncohistone expression, suggesting that previous developmental programs must be silenced for effective transformation. Strikingly, mis-expressed Vg and H3.3K27M synergize to stimulate overgrowth of eye tissue, a phenotype that resembles that of mutations in Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 components. Our results imply that growth dysregulation can result from the simple combination of crippled silencing and transcription factor mis-expression, an effect that may explain the origins of oncohistone-bearing cancers.

Epigenome programming by H3.3K27M mutation creates a dependence of pediatric glioma on SMARCA4

Project description:Patients with diffuse midline gliomas-H3K27-altered (DMG) display a dismal prognosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying DMG tumorigenesis remain poorly defined. Here we show that SMARCA4, the catalytic subunit of mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is essential for the proliferation, migration and invasion of DMG cells and tumor growth in patient-derived DMG xenograft models. SMARCA4 co-localizes with SOX10 at gene regulatory elements (GRE) to control the expression of genes involved in cell growth and extracellular matrix (ECM). Moreover, SMARCA4 chromatin binding is reduced upon depletion of SOX10 or H3.3K27M, a mutation occurring in about 60% DMG tumors. Furthermore, the SMARCA4 occupancy at enhancers marked by both SOX10 and H3K27 acetylation is reduced the most upon depleting the H3.3K27M mutation. Taken together, our results support a model in which epigenome reprogramming by H3.3K27M creates a dependence on SMARCA4-mediated chromatin remodeling to drive gene expression and the pathogenesis of H3.3K27M DMG.
