Project description:Human cancer cell lines are the most frequently used preclinical models in the study of cancer biology and the development of therapeutics. Although anatomically diverse, human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven cancers have a common etiology and similar mutations that overlap with but are distinct from those found in HPV-negative cancers. Building on prior studies that have characterized subsets of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) cell lines separately, we performed genomic, viral gene expression, and viral integration analyses on 74 cell lines that include all readily-available HPV-positive (9 HNSCC, 8 CESC) and CESC (8 HPV-positive, 2 HPV-negative) cell lines and 55 HPV-negative HNSCC cell lines. We used over 700 human tumors for comparison. Mutation patterns in the cell lines were similar to those of human tumors. We confirmed HPV viral protein and mRNA expression in the HPV-positive cell lines. We found HPV types in three CESC cell lines that are distinct from those previously reported. We found that cell lines and tumors had similar patterns of viral gene expression; there were few sites of recurrent HPV integration. As seen in tumors, HPV integration did appear to alter host gene expression in cell lines. The HPV-positive cell lines had higher levels of p16 and lower levels of Rb protein expression than did the HPV-negative lines. Although the number of HPV-positive cell lines is limited, our results suggest that these cell lines represent suitable models for studying HNSCC and CESC, both of which are common and lethal.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous disease with significant morbidity and mortality and frequent recurrence. Pre-NGS efforts to transcriptionally classify HNSCC into groups of varying prognosis have identified four accepted molecular subtypes of disease: Atypical (AT), Basal (BA), Classical (CL), and Mesenchymal (MS). Here, we investigated the active enhancer landscapes of these subtypes using representative HNSCC cell lines and identified samples belonging to the AT subtype as having increased enhancer activity compared to the other 3 HNSCC subtypes. Cell lines belonging to atypical subtype were more resistant to bromodomain inhibitors (BETi). PRO-Seq experiments that both TCGA tumors and AT cell lines showed higher eRNA transcripts for enhancers controlling BETi resistance pathways, such as lipid metabolism and MAPK signaling. Additionally, HiChIP experiments suggested higher enhancer-promoter (E-P) contacts in the AT subtype, including on genes identified in the eRNA analysis. Consistently, known BETi resistance pathways were upregulated upon exposure to these inhibitors. Together, our results identify that the AT subtype of HNSCC is associated with high enhancer activity, resistance to BET inhibition, and signaling pathways that could serve as future targets for sensitizing HNSCC to BET inhibition.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer in the world. Its mortality rate is high, and metastasis is one of the main reasons for the poor prognosis. Therefore, it is quite urgent to elucidate the mechanism of HNSCC metastasis and to discover valuable therapeutic targets. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been characterized as key regulators of gene expression in numerous malignances. However, the role of circRNAs in HNSCC metastasis remains largely unknown. In this study, circRFWD3, was defined. We demonstrated a novel circRNA, circRFWD3, was significantly upregulated in HNSCC tissues and cell lines by circRNA microarray analysis and qPCR. Notably, high expression of circRFWD3 is related to highly aggressive HNSCC cell lines and lymph node metastasis in HNSCC patients. After that, Sanger sequencing, RNase R and actinomycin D assay were performed to verify the ring structure of circRFWD3. Then functional experiments found it could promote the metastasis of HNSCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, dual luciferase reporter assay, FISH, RIP, RNA pull-down, RNA-seq and western blot experiments were employed, and found that circRFWD3 served as a miRNAs sponge for miR-27a/27b, leading to upregulation of PPARγ, and then activate NF-κB/MMP13 signaling. Finally, ISH and IHC were carried out to determine the expression levels and clinical significances of circRFWD3 and PPARγ in clinical cohorts of HNSCC. According to the analysis results from two independent HNSCC cohorts, upregulated expression of circRFWD3 and PPARγ were positively associated with worse survival in patients with HNSCC. Overall, our results uncover that circRFWD3 acts a critical role in promoting the aggressiveness of HNSCC cells and is a prognostic marker for the disease, indicating that circRFWD3 may act as a potential therapeutic target in HNSCC.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with 5-year survival of ~50%. Genomic profiling studies have identified important somatic mutations in this disease which presents an opportunity for precision medicine. We demonstrate that KMT2D, a histone methyltransferase harbors somatic mutations in ~17% of HNSCC and is associated with 2-year recurrence in TCGA data. Consistent with algorithmic prediction of bring a driver tumor-suppressor event, its loss results in larger oral tumors in immune-proficient orthotopic models. Mechanistically, we find that KMT2D knockdown or KMT2D mutation causes loss of H3K4me1-marked enhancers harboring IRF7/9 binding sites, which is known to regulate interferon signaling. Indeed, KMT2D loss in human and murine cell lines deregulated transcriptional levels of cytokine expression and impacted numerous immune signaling pathways, including interferon signaling. Consistently, Kmt2d knockdown in murine tumors exhibited decrease in IFN-producing effector T cells and an increase in T-cells with an exhausted phenotype. Epistasis experiments showed that exogenous treatment with IFNabrogated the increased tumor growth in Kmt2d-deficient oral tumors. Together, these results support the role of KMT2D as a tumor suppressor in HNSCC that regulates the tumor microenvironment by modulating H3K4me1-marked enhancers controlling interferon signaling.
