ASCL1: a pioneer factor that induces subtype switching and characterizes adrenergic neuroblastoma

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma is an embryonic malignancy originating from early nerve cells. Neuroblastoma retains plasticity, interconverting between the mesenchymal (MES) and adrenergic (ADRN) states, which are controlled by different sets of transcription factors forming the core regulatory circuit (CRC). However, their functional roles and cooperative mechanisms in neuroblastoma pathogenesis are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of ASCL1 in MES neuroblastoma cells opens closed chromatin at the promoters of key ADRN genes, accompanied by epigenetic activation and establishment of enhancer-promoter interactions, thereby initiating subtype switching. ASCL1 inhibits the TGFb-SMAD2/3 pathway but activates the BMP-SMAD1-ID3/4 pathway, serving as negative feedback to balance the function of ASCL1-TCF12 dimers. ASCL1 and other ADRN CRC members potentiate each other’s activity, increasing the expression of the original targets and inducing a new set of genes, thereby promoting conversion to ADRN neuroblastoma. Thus, via its pioneer factor function, ASCL1 serves as a master regulator that characterizes ADRN neuroblastoma.

Neuroblastoma originates from developing neural crest and can interconvert between the mesenchymal (MES) and adrenergic (ADRN) states, each of which are controlled by different sets of transcription factors forming the core regulatory circuit (CRC). However, the roles of CRC factors in induction and maintenance of specific state are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of ASCL1, an ADRN CRC factor, in MES neuroblastoma cells opens closed chromatin at the promoters of key A ...[more]

Project description:We used phosphoproteomics to compare the responses of the ERK1/2 inhibitors, SCH772984 and GDC0994, and the MKK1/2 inhibitor, trametinib. These are compared with responses to the MKK1/2 inhibitor, selumetinib (AZD6244), previously measured by our lab in the same metastatic melanoma cell line. In three replicate experiments, we quantified a total of 12,805 class I phosphosites on 3,819 proteins in the trametinib-SCH772984-DMSO experiment, and 7,074 class I phosphosites on 2,453 in the GDC0994-SCH772984-DMSO experiment. This included 466 phosphosites that reproducibly decreased in response to at least one inhibitor in the trametinib-SCH772984-DMSO experiment and 414 phosphosites in the GDC0994-SCH772984-DMSO experiment. The results demonstrate linearity in signaling through the MAP kinase pathway. By comparing multiple inhibitors targeted to multiple tiers of protein kinases in the MAPK pathway, we gain insight into regulation and new targets of the oncogenic BRAF driver pathway in cancer cells, and a useful approach for evaluating the specificity of drugs and drug candidates.
