Project description:Amplification of the MYCN oncogene predicts treatment resistance in childhood neuroblastoma. Using a MYC target gene signature that predicts poor neuroblastoma prognosis we identified the histone chaperone, FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT), as a crucial mediator of the MYC signal and a therapeutic target in the disease. FACT and MYCN expression created a forward feedback loop in neuroblastoma cells that was essential for maintaining mutual high expression. FACT inhibition by the small molecule Curaxin compound, CBL0137, markedly reduced tumor initiation and progression in vivo. CBL0137 exhibited strong synergy with chemotherapy in standard use by blocking repair of DNA damage caused by genotoxic drugs, thus creating a synthetic lethal environment in MYCN amplified neuroblastoma cells and a treatment strategy for MYCN-driven neuroblastoma

Project description:In neuroblastoma, amplification of the oncogenic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) MYCN is the defining prognosticator of high-risk disease, occurs in one-third of neuroblastoma, and drastically reduces overall survival rates. As a proto-oncogene, targeted MYCN overexpression in peripheral neural crest is sufficient to initiate disease in mouse models. In MYCN amplified neuroblastoma, elevated expression of the factor is crucial to maintain tumor stemness and is associated with increased proliferation and aberrant cell cycle progression, as these tumors lack the ability to arrest in G1 in response to irradiation. MYCN down-regulation broadly reverses these oncogenic phenotypes in a variety of neuroblastoma models and recent thereapeutic strategies to indirectly target MYCN production or protein stability have reduced tumor growth in vivo. These observations motivate an investigation of MYCN binding in MYCN amplified tumors as it remains fundamentally unclear how elevated levels of the factor occupy the genome and alter transcriptional programs in neuroblastoma. Here we present the first dynamic chromatin and transcriptional landscape of direct MYCN perturbation in neuroblastoma. We find that at oncogenic levels, MYCN associates with E-box (CANNTG) binding motifs in an affinity dependent manner across most active cis-regulatory promoters and enhancers. MYCN shutdown globally reduces histone acetylation and transcription, consistent with prior descriptions of MYC proteins as non-linear amplifiers of gene expression. We establish that MYCN load at the promoter and proximal enhancers predicts transcriptional responsiveness to MYCN shutdown and that MYCN enhancer binding occurs prominently at the most strongly occupied and down-regulated genes, suggesting a role for these tissue specific elements in predicating MYCN responsive âtargetâ genes. At these invaded enhancers, we identify the lineage specific bHLH TWIST1 as a key collaborator and dependency of oncogenic MYCN. These data suggest that MYCN enhancer invasion helps shape transcriptional amplification of the neuroblastoma gene expression program to promote tumorigenesis.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial malignancy in childhood and accounts for approximately 15% of childhood cancer deaths. Amplification of N-Myc in neuroblastoma is associated with aggressive disease and predicts for poor prognosis. Novel therapeutic approaches are therefore essential to improving patient outcomes in this setting. The histone deacetylases are known to interact with N-Myc and regulate numerous cellular processes, including differentiation in neuroblastoma. We therefore investigated the antitumor activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitor, panobinostat in the setting of N-Myc amplified neuroblastoma using the TH-MYCN murine model. Continuous treatment of tumor bearing TH-MYCN transgenic mice with panobinostat for 9 weeks led to a significant improvement in survival as compared to mice treated with vehicle, or continuous treatment with panobinostat for a three week period. Panobinostat induced rapid tumor regression with no regrowth observed during the treatment period. Tumor response was associated with an initial apoptosis phenotype mediated via up-regulation of BMF and BIM. When treated was stopped at three weeks 100% of mice relapsed with aggressive neuroblastoma. Differentiation of neuroblastoma into benign ganglioneuroma, with a characteristic increase in S100 expression and reduction of N-Myc expression, was observed in mice treated for nine weeks, resulting in a sustained remission on 90% of mice treated. RNA-sequencing analysis of tumors from treated animals confirmed significant up-regulation of gene pathways associated with apoptosis and differentiation as early as 24 hours after treatment. Together our data demonstrate the potential of panobinostat as a therapeutic strategy for high-risk neuroblastoma patients. Eight homozygous TH-MYCN mice bearing neuroblastomas were treated with either 5mg/kg panobinostat (4 animals) or vehicle (4 animals) for 24hr (two doses) and tumours harvested 4hr post the second dose.

Project description:The net transcriptome of a cancer cell is defined by relative levels of transcription factors, activators, suppressors and co-factors. These in turn are controlled by epigenetic, genetic and metabolic restraints. Here we used RNA-Seq, ChIP-qPCR, and ChIP-Seq to determine the impact of MYCN protein levels on p53 and MYCN mediated transcription in neuroblastoma, a p53 wild-type neural crest derived pediatric malignancy. Of note, about 25% of neuroblastoma is MYCN amplified and expresses 10-100 fold higher levels of MYCN protein than non-amplified tumors. We hypothesized that p53 functions would be globally altered by extreme MYCN levels and this could help to explain aggressive biology and poor long term survival which distinguishes MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma. In fact, we found that in the context of high MYCN levels, activation of p53 results in marked changes in transcription of specific p53 and MYCN target loci regulating apoptosis, DNA repair and cell cycle progression. Co-immunoprecipitation of endogenous and GST-fused proteins, as well as ChIP-qPCR confirms formation of p53/MYCN complexes and enrichment of both transcription factors at active loci. This p53/MYC interaction is independent of MYC/MAX complexes. Together, these data demonstrate MYCN to be a direct co-factor modulating p53 transcriptional output in MYCN amplified cancer.
