Transcription elongation factors represent in vivo cancer dependencies in glioblastoma.

Project description:Glioblastoma is a universally lethal cancer with a median survival time of approximately 15 months. Despite substantial efforts to define druggable targets, there are no therapeutic options that notably extend the lifespan of patients with glioblastoma. While previous work has largely focused on in vitro cellular models, here we demonstrate a more physiologically relevant approach to target discovery in glioblastoma. We adapted pooled RNA interference (RNAi) screening technology for use in orthotopic patient-derived xenograft models, creating a high-throughput negative-selection screening platform in a functional in vivo tumour microenvironment. Using this approach, we performed parallel in vivo and in vitro screens and discovered that the chromatin and transcriptional regulators needed for cell survival in vivo are non-overlapping with those required in vitro. We identified transcription pause-release and elongation factors as one set of in vivo-specific cancer dependencies, and determined that these factors are necessary for enhancer-mediated transcriptional adaptations that enable cells to survive the tumour microenvironment. Our lead hit, JMJD6, mediates the upregulation of in vivo stress and stimulus response pathways through enhancer-mediated transcriptional pause-release, promoting cell survival specifically in vivo. Targeting JMJD6 or other identified elongation factors extends survival in orthotopic xenograft mouse models, suggesting that targeting transcription elongation machinery may be an effective therapeutic strategy for glioblastoma. More broadly, this study demonstrates the power of in vivo phenotypic screening to identify new classes of 'cancer dependencies' not identified by previous in vitro approaches, and could supply new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

Epigenetic Profile in Transcription elongation factors are in vivo-specific cancer dependencies in glioma

Project description:Glioblastoma ranks as one of the most lethal human cancers, with no effective therapies. To discover novel therapeutic targets, here we performed parallel in vivo and in vitro RNA interference screens of epigenetic regulators and show that transcription elongation factors are essential for human glioblastoma cell survival in vivo, but not in vitro. Context-specific dependency in vivo is driven by microenvironment-induced global changes in the cancer epigenome. JMJD6, a top in vivo-specific hit, binds at enhancers and correlates with increased transcription of known pause-controlled genes. JMJD6 knockdown in patient-derived glioblastoma cells enhances survival of mice bearing orthotopic tumors. Moreover, elevated levels of JMJD6 alone, as well as transcription elongation factors collectively, informs tumor grade and predicts poor prognosis for patients. Our work provides a rationale for targeting transcription elongation as a therapeutic strategy in glioblastoma and, more broadly, the power of in vivo phenotypic screening to identify therapeutically relevant targets in cancer.

Tissue-location-specific transcription programs drive tumor dependencies in colon cancer.

Project description:Cancers of the same tissue-type but in anatomically distinct locations exhibit different molecular dependencies for tumorigenesis. Proximal and distal colon cancers exemplify such characteristics, with BRAFV600E predominantly occurring in proximal colon cancers along with increased DNA methylation phenotype. Using mouse colon organoids, here we show that proximal and distal colon stem cells have distinct transcriptional programs that regulate stemness and differentiation. We identify that the homeobox transcription factor, CDX2, which is silenced by DNA methylation in proximal colon cancers, is a key mediator of the differential transcriptional programs. Cdx2-mediated proximal colon-specific transcriptional program concurrently is tumor suppressive, and Cdx2 loss sufficiently creates permissive state for BRAFV600E-driven transformation. Human proximal colon cancers with CDX2 downregulation showed similar transcriptional program as in mouse proximal organoids with Cdx2 loss. Developmental transcription factors, such as CDX2, are thus critical in maintaining tissue-location specific transcriptional programs that create tissue-type origin specific dependencies for tumor development.
