Project description:PAX3-FOXO1 is a fusion transcription factor that is the main driver of tumorigenesis leading to the development of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS). Since aRMS cells are addicted to PAX3-FOXO1 activity, the fusion protein also represents a major target for therapeutic interference, which is however challenging as transcription factors usually cannot be inhibited directly by small molecules. Hence, characterization of the biology of PAX3-FOXO1 might lead to the discovery of new possibilities for an indirect inhibition of its activity. Here, our goal was to characterize the proteomic neighborhood of PAX3-FOXO1 and to find candidates potentially affecting its activity and tumor cell viability. Towards this aim, we expressed BirA fused versions of PAX3-FOXO1 (N- and C-terminal) in HEK293T cells under presence of biotin. In the control setup, we expressed the BirA enzyme alone. After Streptavidin purification of biotinylated proteins, we performed mass spectrometry and quantified relative abundances compared to control conditions. This enabled us to determine PAX3-FOXO1 proximal proteins, which we investigated further in orthogonal endogenous systems.

Project description:Chimeric transcription factors drive lineage-specific oncogenesis but are notoriously difficult to target. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive childhood soft tissue sarcoma transformed by the pathognomonic PAX3–FOXO1 fusion protein, which governs a core regulatory circuitry transcription factor (CRC TF) network. Here we show that the histone lysine demethylase KDM4B is a therapeutic vulnerability for PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS. Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of KDM4B significantly delays tumor growth by disrupting the expression of CRC TFs caused by epigenetic alterations of PAX3–FOXO1-governed super enhancers. Combining KDM4B inhibition with cytotoxic chemotherapy leads to significant tumor regression in preclinical PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS models. In summary, we have identified a targetable mechanism required for maintenance of PAX3-FOXO1-related CRC TF network, which may translate to a novel therapeutic approach for fusion-positive RMS.

Project description:Fusion-positive alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS) is an aggressive pediatric sarcoma driven primarily by the PAX3-FOXO1 fusion oncogene, for which therapies targeting PAX3-FOXO1 are lacking. We screened 62,643 compounds using an engineered cell line that monitors PAX3-FOXO1 transcriptional activity identifying a hitherto uncharacterized compound, PFI-63. RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and docking analyses implicated histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) as its targets. Enzymatic assays confirmed the inhibition of multiple KDMs with highest selectivity for KDM3B. Structural similarity search of PFI-63 identified PFI-90 with improved solubility and potency. Biophysical binding of PFI-90 to KDM3B was demonstrated using NMR and SPR. PFI-90 suppressed the growth of FP-RMS in vitro and in vivo through downregulating PAX3-FOXO1 activity, and combined knockdown of KDM3B and KDM1A phenocopied PFI-90 effects. Thus, we report novel KDM inhibitors with highest specificity for KDM3B. Its potent suppression of PAX3-FOXO1 activity can be exploited as a new therapeutic approach for FP-RMS and other transcriptionally driven cancers.

Project description:Results: Using a combination of 4C-seq datasets, we were able to model the three-dimensional organisation of the translocated chromosome in a PAX3:FOXO1 fusion-positive alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. We show that PAX3 and FOXO1 regulatory landscapes fuse into a novel TAD, allowing the PAX3 promoter to interact ectopically with FOXO1 sequences with potential enhancer function. The borders of this novel TAD correspond to the original 5'- and 3'- borders of the PAX3 and FOXO1 TADs, respectively, suggesting that TAD organisation precedes the formation of regulatory long-range interactions. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the chromosomal translocation that leads to ARMS development generates a novel TAD that favours ectopic PAX3:FOXO1 oncogene activation in non-PAX3 territories, which may be an essential step in the tumorigenic process, as expression in a particular cell type, the often elusive cell-of-origin, may be required for disease development.

Project description:Hallmarks of the alveolar subclass of Rhabdomyosarcoma are chromosomal translocations that generate PAX3-FOXO1 or PAX7-FOXO1 chimeric transcription factors. Both PAX-FOXO1s drive related cell transformation in animal models, yet the two mutations are associated with distinct pathological manifestations in patients. To evaluate the mechanisms underlying these differences, we generated isogenic fibroblast lines expressing either PAX-FOXO1 paralog. Mapping their genome recruitment using CUT&Tag revealed that the two chimeric proteins have distinct DNA binding preferences. Furthermore, PAX7-FOXO1 causes stronger de novo transactivation of its bound regions than PAX3-FOXO1, resulting in greater transcriptomic dynamics involving genes regulating cell shape and cycle. Consistently, PAX3-FOXO1 accentuates fibroblast cellular traits associated with contractility and surface adhesion and limits entry to M phase. Instead, PAX7-FOXO1 pushes cells to adopt an amoeboid-like shape, reduce S phase entry and provokes more genome instabilities. Altogether, our results demonstrate that PAX7-FOXO1 has a greater chromatin remodelling and transactivating abilities and is more deleterious to cells than PAX3-FOXO1. Altogether our results argue that the diversity in rhabdomyosarcoma manifestation stems, in part, from the diverging transcriptional activity of PAX3-FOXO1 and PAX7-FOXO1. Furthermore, PAX7-FOXO1 pronounced deleterious effects provides an explanation for the low frequency of the translocation generating this factor in Rhabdomyosarcoma patients.
