Oncogenic deregulation of EZH2 as an opportunity for targeted therapy in lung cancer [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: As a master regulator of chromatin structure and function, the EZH2 lysine methyltransferase orchestrates transcriptional silencing of developmental gene networks. Overexpression of EZH2 is commonly observed in human epithelial cancers, such as non- small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), yet definitive demonstration of malignant transformation by deregulated EZH2 has proven elusive. Here, we demonstrate the causal role of EZH2 overexpression in NSCLC with a new genetically-engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma. Deregulated EZH2 silences normal developmental pathways leading to epigenetic transformation independent from canonical growth factor pathway activation. As such, tumors feature a transcriptional program distinct from KRAS- and EGFR-mutant mouse lung cancers, but shared with human lung adenocarcinomas exhibiting high EZH2 expression. To target EZH2-dependent cancers, we developed a novel and potent EZH2 inhibitor that arises from a facile synthesis and possesses improved pharmacologic properties. JQEZ5 promoted the regression of EZH2-driven tumors in vivo, confirming oncogenic addiction to EZH2 in established tumors and providing the rationale for epigenetic therapy in a defined subset of lung cancer.

Transcriptomic heterogeneity of EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer evolution towards small cell lung cancer

Project description:Histological transformation from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the major resistance mechanism of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In our analysis of 59 regions of interest from EGFR-mutant NSCLC or combined SCLC/NSCLC tumors, we compared the transcriptomic profiles before and after transformation.

Microarray study to understand acquired resistance to EGFR-targeted therapy in lung cancer

Project description:Activating mutations of EGFR have been characterized as important mechanisms for carcinogenesis in a subset of EGFR-dependent non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), such as erlotinib and gefitinib, have dramatic clinical effects on EGFR-addicted lung cancers and are used as first-line therapy for EGFR-mutant tumors. However, eventually all tumors acquire secondary resistance to the drugs and progress. We established a model to better understand mechanisms of acquired resistance. NCI- HCC827 cells are EGFR-mutant and highly erlotinib-sensitive. In this study we exposed HCC827 cells to increasing concentrations of erlotinib and two highly erlotinib-resistant subclones were developed (ER3 and T15-2). In these subclones no acquired alterations of EGFR or MET were found. We hereby performed a gene expression microarray studies to understand changes that might explain mechanisms of resistance. Through these studies we demonstrated in one resistant clone (ER3) overexpression of AXL, a tyrosine kinase implicated in imatinib and lapatinib resistance. Gene expression profilings were measured in NSCLC cell line HCC827 and two erlotinib-resistant HCC827-originated sublines ER3 and T15-2.

YWHAZ is an Invasion and Metastasis promoting genes of Lung cancer

Project description:Metastasis is a major cause leading to mortality for lung cancer patients. We identified YWHAZ as a potential metastasis-promoting candidate and found that overexpression of YWHAZ promotes lung cancer cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, migration, and invasion in vitro, as well as tumorigenesis and metastasis in vivo. It not only increases cell protrusions and branchings but also induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Most importantly, YWHAZ protein could prevent Â£]-catenin from ubiquitination via its association with Â£]-catenin and enhance slug transcriptional activity which is regulated by Â£]-catenin/TCF signaling pathway. Moreover, YWHAZ expression was higher in tumors than in adjacent normal tissues in 63 Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. NSCLC patients with high YWHAZ expressing tumors had shorter overall survival than those with low-expressing tumors. We conclude that YWHAZ play a critical role in promoting NSCLC metastasis. In this investigation, we used a lung cancer invasion cell model to identify the genes involved in cancer progression. YWHAZ is a potential oncogene whose expression is correlated to the survival of patients with breast, prostate and liver cancers. However, the role of YWHAZ in lung caner progression has not been reported, particularly in metastasis. Here, YWHAZ was ectopically expressed in lower invasive lung cancer cell line its impact on colonogenesis, migration and invasiveness was assessed. The underlying mechanism was explored by YWHAZ-expressed transfectants and microarrays and the clinical relevance was evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR.

Gene expression data from human NSCLC U1810 residual clones 9 days after a one-hour pulse treatment with cisplatin

Project description:Background: The platinum compounds cisplatin and carboplatin are the mainstay of chemotherapy for lung cancer; however, treatment failure remains a critical issue since about 60% of all non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients display intrinsic platinum resistance. Methods: We analyzed global gene expression profiles in NSCLC clones surviving a pulse treatment with cisplatin by microarray and mapped deregulated signaling networks in silico by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Results: Cisplatin-surviving NSCLC clones were demonstrated to have heterogeneous gene expression patterns both in terms of the number and the identity of the altered genes. Genes involved in Wnt signaling pathway (DKK1), DNA repair machinery (XRCC2) and cell-cell/ cell-matrix interaction (FMN1 and LGALS9) were among the top deregulated genes by microarray and were subsequently validated by q-RT-PCR. We focused on DKK1, which was previously reported to be overexpressed in NSCLC. IPA network analysis revealed coordinate up-regulation of several DKK1 transcriptional regulators (TCF4, EZH2, DNAJB6 and HDAC2) in cisplatin-surviving clones. Knockdown of DKK1 by siRNA sensitized untreated NSCLC cells to cisplatin, illustrating a putative role of DKK1 in intrinsic platinum resistance. Conclusions: Gene expression analysis identified DKK1 as a putative cisplatin resistance marker and a potential novel therapeutic target to overcome platinum resistance in NSCLC. U1810 cells were sparsely seeded for clonogenic survival assay in three separate experiments (replicate 1-3), left untreated or treated with cisplatin for 1 h and then kept for 9 days to assay long-term effects of a single pulse treatment.

Selective Loss of RB in Resistant EGFR Mutant Lung Adenocarcinomas that Transform to SCLC [CGH]

Project description:The study was designed to identify the molecular changes that occur in EGFR mutant NSCLCs that become resistant to TKI by transforming to SCLC. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective treatments for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. However, they do not lead to cures, and, on average, relapse occurs after one year of continuous treatment. In a subset of patients, a fundamental histological transformation from NSCLC to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is observed in the resistant cancers, but the molecular changes associated with this transformation remain unknown. Analysis of a cohort of tumor samples and cell lines derived from resistant EGFR mutant patients with SCLC transformation revealed that RB is lost in 100% of these cases, but rarely in those that remain NSCLC. Global changes in gene expression, including increased neuroendocrine marker expression and absence of EGFR expression, are observed in cancers that transformed to SCLC. Consistent with their genetic and epigenetic similarities to classical SCLC, cell lines derived from resistant EGFR mutant SCLC biopsies are substantially more sensitive to ABT-263 treatment compared to those derived from resistant EGFR mutant NSCLCs. Together, these findings suggest that despite developing initially as EGFR mutant adenocarcinomas, this subset of resistant cancers ultimately take on many of the molecular and phenotypic characteristics of classical SCLC. Overall, we completed array CGH analysis on 4 tumor specimens from EGFR mutant, TKI-resistant patients. Three of these samples had transformed to SCLC and one remained NSCLC.

Expression data from Hif 2alpha Knockdown study

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. The oxygen-sensitive Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) transcriptional regulators HIF-1Î± and HIF-2Î± are overexpressed in many human NSCLCs, and constitutive HIF-2Î± activity can promote murine lung tumor progression, suggesting that HIF proteins may be effective NSCLC therapeutic targets. To investigate the consequences of inhibiting HIF activity in lung cancers, we deleted Hif-1Î± or Hif-2Î± in an established KrasG12D-driven murine NSCLC model. Deletion of Hif-1Î± had no obvious effect on tumor growth, whereas Hif-2Î± deletion resulted in an unexpected increase in tumor burden that correlated with reduced expression of the candidate tumor suppressor gene Scgb3a1 (HIN-1). Here, we identify Scgb3a1 as a direct HIF-2Î± target gene, and demonstrate that HIF-2Î± regulates Scgb3a1 expression and tumor formation in human KrasG12D-driven NSCLC cells. AKT pathway activity, reported to be repressed by Scgb3a1, was enhanced in HIF-2Î± deficient human NSCLC cells and xenografts. Finally, a direct correlation between HIF-2Î± and SCGB3a1 expression was observed in approximately 70% of human NSCLC samples analyzed. These data suggest that whereas HIF-2Î± overexpression can contribute to NSCLC progression, therapeutic inhibition of HIF-2Î± below a critical threshold may paradoxically promote tumor growth by reducing expression of tumor suppressor genes, including Scgb3a1. RNA was isolated from tumors of experimental (Hif2alpha deficient) mice and control mice (seven for each group).
