Project description:HIF2a function is both necessary and sufficient for the growth of VHL-null clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC). Targeting HIF2a function can therefore be a promising therapeutic strategy. We used microarray analysis to characterize a novel pharmacological inhibitor of HIF2a named PT2399. By comparing genes that are responsive to PT2399 in parental cells vs cells lacking HIF2a, by virtue of CRISPR-mediated genetic editing, we characterized gene signatures that are regulated by PT2399 in a HIF2a dependent manner. Cells were treated with either DMSO (control) or 2uM PT2399 for indicated time periods, total RNA was extracted and analyzed. Please note that the experiments with 786O Parental and HIF2a null cells were conducted independently.

Project description:VHL loss is the most common genetic alteration event in ccRCC. VHL loss stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF2a). We compared the changes in transcriptomics profiles after VHL restoration or HIF2a siRNA knockdown in 786-O cells.

Project description:As shown by large-scale human genetic data, cancer mutations display strong tissue-selectivity, but how this selectivity arises remains unclear. Here, using experimental models, functional genomics and analysis of patient samples, we demonstrate that the lineage transcription factor paired box 8 (PAX8) is required for oncogenic signalling by two common clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC)-causing genetic alterations in humans: the germline variant rs7948643 at 11q13.3 and somatic inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor (VHL). VHL loss, observed in ~90% of ccRCCs, can lead to hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF2A) stabilization. We show that HIF2A is preferentially recruited to PAX8-bound transcriptional enhancers, including a pro-tumorigenic cyclin D1 (CCND1) enhancer that is controlled by PAX8 and HIF2A. The ccRCC protective allele C at rs7948643 inhibits PAX8 binding at this enhancer and downstream activation of CCND1 expression. Co-option of a PAX8-dependent physiological programme that supports proliferation of normal renal epithelial cells is also required for MYC expression from the ccRCC metastasis-associated amplicons at 8q21.3-q24.3. These results demonstrate that transcriptional lineage factors are essential for the expression of canonical oncogenes and they mediate tissue-specific cancer risk associated with somatic and inherited genetic variants

Project description:VHL/HIF2a axis alters transcriptomic profiles in ccRCC

Project description:von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is a critical tumor suppres- sor in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs). It is important to identify additional therapeutic targets in ccRCC downstream of VHL loss besides hypox- ia-inducible factor 2a (HIF2a). By performing a genome-wide screen, we identified Scm-like with four malignant brain tumor domains 1 (SFMBT1) as a candidate pVHL target. SFMBT1 was considered to be a transcriptional repressor but its role in cancer remains unclear. ccRCC patients with VHL loss-of- function mutations displayed elevated SFMBT1 pro- tein levels. SFMBT1 hydroxylation on Proline residue 651 by EglN1 mediated its ubiquitination and degra- dation governed by pVHL. Depletion of SFMBT1 abolished ccRCC cell proliferation in vitro and in- hibited orthotopic tumor growth in vivo. Integrated analyses of ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and patient prog- nosis identified sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) as a key SFMBT1 target gene contributing to its onco- genic phenotype. Therefore, the pVHL-SFMBT1- SPHK1 axis serves as a potential therapeutic avenue for ccRCC

Project description:Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by a loss of tumor suppressor Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) function, which leads to accumulation of hypoxia inducible factor (including HIF1 and HIF2). HIF2 was previously reported to be one of the major oncogenic drivers in ccRCC, however its therapeutic targeting remains challenging. Here we performed a deubiquitinase (DUB) cDNA library binding screen and discovered that USP37 is a DUB that binds HIF2 and promotes HIF2 deubiquitination. As a result, USP37 promotes HIF2 protein stability in an enzymatically dependent manner and depletion of USP37 leads to HIF2 downregulation in ccRCC. Functionally, USP37 depletion causes decreased cell proliferation measured by MTS, 2-D colony formation as well as 3-D anchorage independent growth. USP37 is also essential for maintaining kidney tumorigenesis in an orthotopic xenograft model and its depletion leads to decreased primary kidney tumorigenesis and spontaneous lung metastasis. Our results suggest that USP37 is a potential new therapeutic target in ccRCC.

Project description:The oncogenic potential of cancer-associated genetic alterations displays strong tissue-selectivity, the origins of which remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the lineage transcription factor PAX8 is essential for oncogenic signaling downstream of the most common genetic alterations causing clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Through interaction at a distal enhancer element PAX8 facilitates CCND1 expression by HIF2A, an oncogenic driver that is genetically activated due to VHL loss in ~90% of ccRCCs. PAX8 binding at this enhancer which mediates HIF2A-dependent ccRCC formation is inhibited by the common ccRCC protective allele C at rs7948643. In addition, PAX8 supports MYC expression in ccRCC through HNF1B, another renal lineage factor. Transcriptional lineage factors are thus critical determinants of the tissue-specific cancer risk associated with somatic and inherited genetic variants. Our data also suggest that lineage factors could be targeted for therapeutic inhibition of canonical oncogenic drivers such as MYC and CCND1.
