Project description:This study shows for the first time that the FOXP3Î3 isoform is preferentially expressed in bladder cancer and induces a more aggressive and luminal isoform is preferentially expressed in bladder cancer and induces a more aggressive and luminal regulation of cancer differentiation and the plasticity amongst cancer subtypes which can be leveraged to optimize therapeutic regimens. These findings also identify a novel molecular marker as a putative companion diagnostic to guide therapy and target to undermine chemotherapy resistance. examination of RNA-Seq in two bladder cancer cell lines

Project description:Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer is a common aggressive disease with unmet clinical needs. Recent work established a set of consensus bladder cancer transcriptomic subtypes that distinguishes the cell identity of bladder cancers for improved diagnosis and treatment. However, how these distinct subtypes are regulated remains unclear. Given the link between super-enhancers and the regulation of cell identity, we hypothesized that epigenetic activation of distinct super-enhancers could drive the transcriptional programs of the various bladder cancer subtypes. Results: Through integrated RNA sequencing and epigenomic profiling of histone marks (H3K27ac, H3K27me3, H3K9me3) in a diverse panel of 15 primary bladder tumours, seven bladder cancer cell lines, and two primary cultures from normal human urothelia, we established the first integrated epigenetic map of bladder cancer and demonstrate the link between bladder cancer subtype and epigenetic control. Through H3K27ac analysis, we identify the repertoire of activated super-enhancers in bladder cancer that distinguish molecular subtypes. Building on these findings, we reveal the super-enhancer-regulated networks of candidate master transcription factors for Luminal and Basal bladder cancer subgroups. We find that FOXA1, a key pioneer factor in Luminal bladder cancers identified in our Luminal transcription factor network, binds subgroup-specific bladder super-enhancers and correlates with their activation. Furthermore, CRISPR-Cas9 inactivating mutation of FOXA1 triggers a shift from Luminal to Basal cell identity. This shift is accompanied by an overexpression of ZBED2, one of the newly identified transcriptional regulators in the Basal-specific transcription factor network. 5Finally, we show that both FOXA1 and ZBED2 play concordant roles in preventing inflammatory response in bladder cancer cells through STAT2 inhibition and promote cancer cell survival. Conclusions: Overall, our study provides new data for understanding epigenetic regulation of muscle- invasive bladder cancer and identifies a coregulated network of super-enhancers and associated transcription factors as new potential targets for the treatment of this aggressive disease

Project description:Bladder cancer prognosis is closely linked to the underlying differentiation state of the tumor, ranging from the less aggressive and most differentiated luminal tumors to the more aggressive and least differentiated basal tumors. Sequencing of bladder cancer has revealed that loss-of-function mutations in chromatin regulators and mutations that activate receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling frequently occur in bladder cancer. However, little is known as to whether and how these two types of mutations functionally interact or cooperate to regulate tumor growth and differentiation state. Here, we focus on loss of the histone demethylase UTX (also known as KDM6A) and activation of the RTK FGFR3, two events that commonly co-occur in muscle invasive bladder tumors. We show that UTX loss and FGFR3 activation cooperate to disrupt the balance of luminal and basal gene expression in bladder cells. UTX localized to enhancers surrounding many genes that are important for luminal cell fate, and supported the transcription of these genes in a catalytic-independent manner. In contrast to UTX, FGFR3 activation was associated with lower expression of luminal genes in tumors and FGFR inhibition increased transcription of these same genes in cell culture models. This suggests an antagonistic relationship between UTX and FGFR3. In support of this model, UTX loss-of-function potentiated FGFR3-dependent transcriptional effects and the presence of UTX blocked an FGFR3-mediated increase in the colony formation of bladder cells. Taken together, our study reveals how mutations in UTX and FGFR3 converge to disrupt bladder differentiation programs that could serve as a therapeutic target.

Project description:Muscle-invasive bladder cancers are characterized by their distinct expression of luminal and basal genes, which could be used to predict key clinical features such as disease progression and overall survival. Transcriptionally, FOXA1, GATA3, and PPARg are shown to be essential for luminal subtype-specific gene regulation and subtype switching, while TP63, STAT3 and TFAP2 family members are critical for regulation of basal subtype-specific genes. Despite these advances, the underlying epigenetic mechanisms and 3D chromatin architecture responsible for subtype-specific regulation in bladder cancer remains unknown. Result: We determine the genome-wide transcriptome, enhancer landscape and transcription factor binding profiles of FOXA1 and GATA3 in luminal and basal subtypes of bladder cancer. Furthermore, we report the first-ever mapping of genome-wide chromatin interactions by Hi-C in both bladder cancer cell lines and primary patient tumors. We show that subtype-specific transcription is accompanied by specific open chromatin and epigenomic marks, at least partially driven by distinct transcription factor binding at distal-enhancers of luminal and basal bladder cancers. Finally, we identify a novel clinically relevant transcription factor, Neuronal PAS Domain Protein 2 (NPAS2), in luminal bladder cancers that regulates other subtype-specific genes and influences cancer cell proliferation and migration. Conclusion: In summary, our work identifies unique epigenomic signatures and 3D genome structures in luminal and basal urinary bladder cancers and suggests a novel link between the circadian transcription factor NPAS2 and a clinical bladder cancer subtype.

Project description:Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is an aggressive disease with high morbidity and mortality that can be divided into basal and luminal subtypes based on genomic characteristics. Due to the complex heterogeneity of MIBC, specific markers are needed to distinguish MIBC subtypes to guide future clinical treatment. In this study, we explore abnormal lncrnas that are specific to the basic and intracavitary subtypes of MIBC, which will provide potential biomarkers for precision therapy of MIBC.

Project description:In vitro and in vivo studies including single cell sequencing showed that LPAR6 and CAB39L play a major role in regulating basal to luminal urothelial differentiation. Their loss of function contributed to bladder carcinogenesis by dysregulating urothelial differentiation program and sensitizing the urothelium to N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) induced cancers, which recapitulated luminal and basal subtypes of human bladder cancer.
