Level of FACT defines the transcriptional landscape and aggressive phenotype of breast cancer cells

ABSTRACT: FACT inhibition, via small molecule or shRNA, lead to reduced growth and viability of all BrCa cells tested. Phenotypic changes were more severe in high FACT cells (death or growth arrest) than in low FACT cells (decreased proliferation). Though inhibition had no effect on the rate of general transcription, expression of individual genes was changed in a cell-specific manner. Initially distinct transcriptional profiles of BrCa cells became almost identical via equalizing FACT expression. We found that in “high-FACT” cells FACT supports expression of genes involved in the regulation of cell cycle, DNA replication, maintenance of undifferentiated cell state and regulated by the activity of proto-oncogenes, such as Hras, cMyc, E2F family ets. In “low-FACT” cells presence of FACT reduces expression of genes coding enzymes of steroid metabolism characteristic for the differentiated mammary epithelia. Inhibition of FACT leads to the shift from more aggressive transcriptional program to more benign, accompanied with similar type of phenotypical changes. Thus we propose FACT as a marker to predict aggressiveness of BrCa and as a target to either kill aggressive BrCa cells or to convert them to a less aggressive phenotype.

Therapeutic Targeting Ewing Sarcoma through Inhibition of the FACT Complex (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:EWS/ETS fusion transcription factors, most commonly EWSR1-FLI1, drive initiation and progression of Ewing sarcoma (EwS), a highly aggressive childhood cancer of bone and soft tissues. Even though direct targeting EWSR1-FLI1 is a formidable challenge, epigenetic or transcriptional modulators have been recently proved to be promising therapeutic targets for indirectly disrupting its expression and/or function. Here, we performed transcriptome and functional genomics dataset analyses, and combined with small molecule screening of EwS lines to identify novel epigenetic/transcriptional-targeted therapeutic strategies. SSRP1 and SUPT16H, two subunits of the Facilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT) complex, are both found to be EWSR1-FLI1-induced essential oncogenes in EwS. The FACT-targeted drug CBL0137 exhibits potent therapeutic efficacy against multiple EwS preclinical models in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the FACT complex and EWS-FLI1 form oncogenic positive feedback loop via mutual transcriptional regulation and activation, and cooperatively promote cell cycle/DNA replication process and IGF1R-PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway to drive EwS oncogenesis. The FACT inhibitor drug CBL0137 effectively targets the EWSR1-FLI1-FACT circuit, resulting in transcriptional disruption of EWS-FLI1, SSRP1 and their downstream effector oncogenic signatures. Our study illustrates a crucial role of the FACT complex in facilitating the expression and function of EWSR1-FLI1 and demonstrates FACT inhibition as a novel therapeutic strategy against EwS via indirect targeting the oncogenic fusion TF, providing preclinical support for adding EwS to CBL0137’s future clinical trials.

Effect of CBL0137 on gene expression in FACT positive and negative organs of mice

Project description:CBL0137 is chromatin destabilizing agent, which causing trapping of FACT histone chaperone in chromatin (Gasparian et all, Science TM, 2011, Safina et all, NAR, 2017). We compared effect of CBL0137 on gene expression in mouse organs, expressing FACT (testes, spleen ) or not (lung, liver) to figure out what effects of CBL0137 is due to the inhibition of FACT and which are independent of FACT.

Effect of FACT depletion on the cell composition of bone marrow and intestine in mice

Project description:Preservation of nucleosomes during replication has been extensively studied, while the maintenance of nucleosomes during transcription has gotten less attention. The histone chaperone FACT is involved in transcription elongation, although whether it disassembles or assembles nucleosomes during the passage of RNA polymerase is still unclear. We deleted the FACT subunit in adult mice to clarify the function of FACT in mammals. FACT loss was lethal due to bone marrow and intestinal failure, where the earliest progenitors completely vanished, while several other cell types were increased or decreased. Using cells isolated from several tissues, we showed that FACT loss was lethal only for stem cells but not cells differentiated in vitro. FACT depletion led to increased chromatin accessibility in a transcription-dependent manner, suggesting that nucleosomes are lost from transcribed regions in the absence of FACT. The most prominent response to the loss of chromatin integrity was the activation of interferon signaling and the accumulation of immunocytes in sensitive organs. FACT maintained chromatin integrity during transcription in mammalian adult stem cells, suggesting that chromatin transcription in these cells is different from more differentiated cells.

FACT maintains pluripotency factor expression through gene-distal regulation in embryonic stem cells [TT-Seq]

Project description:The mammalian FACT complex is a highly conserved histone chaperone with essential roles in transcription elongation, histone deposition, and maintenance of stem cell state. FACT is essential for viability in pluripotent cells and cancer cells, but otherwise dispensable for most mammalian cell types. FACT deletion or inhibition can block reprogramming of fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells, yet the molecular mechanisms through which FACT regulates cell fate decisions remain unclear. To determine the mechanism by which FACT regulates stem cell identity, we used the auxin-inducible degron systems to deplete murine embryonic stem cells of FACT subunit SPT16 and subjected depleted cells to genome-wide factor localization, nascent transcription analyses, and genome-wide nucleosome profiling. Inducible depletion of SPT16 reveals a critical role in regulating targets of the master regulators of pluripotency: OCT4, KLF4, MYC, NANOG, and SOX2. Depletion of SPT16 leads to increased nucleosome occupancy at genomic loci occupied by these transcription factors, as well as gene-distal regulatory sites defined by DNaseI hypersensitivity. This heightened occupancy suggests a mechanism of nucleosome filling, wherein the sites typically maintained in an accessible state by FACT are occluded through loss of FACT-regulated nucleosome spacing. 20% of transcription arising from gene-distal regions bound by these factors is directly dependent on FACT, and putative gene targets of these non-coding RNAs are highly enriched for pluripotency in pathway analyses. Upon FACT depletion, transcription of Pou5f1 (OCT4), Sox2, and Nanog are downregulated, suggesting that FACT not only co-regulates expression of the encoded proteins’ targets, but also the pluripotency factors themselves. We find that FACT maintains cellular pluripotency through a complex regulatory network of both coding and non-coding transcription.
