Project description:In mammalian cells, gene copy number is tightly controlled to maintain gene expression and genome stability. However, a near-universal molecular feature across cancer types is oncogene amplification, which promotes cancer progression by dramatically increasing the copy number and expression of tumor-promoting genes. For example, in tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), oncogene amplification occurs in over 40% of patients’ tumors. Despite the prevalence of oncogene amplification in TKI-resistant tumors, the mechanisms facilitating oncogene amplification are not fully understood. Here, we find that LUAD tumors exhibit a unique chromatin signature demarcated by strong CTCF and cohesin deposition in drug-naïve tumors, which correlates with the boundaries of oncogene amplicons in TKI-resistant LUAD cells. Throughout the acquisition of TKI resistance, we identified a global chromatin priming effect, marked by a dynamic increase of H3K27Ac, cohesin loading, and inter-TAD interactions, which occurs before the onset of oncogene amplification. Furthermore, we have identified that the protein METTL7A, which was previously reported to localize to the ER and inner nuclear membrane, has a novel chromatin regulatory function in binding to amplified oncogenes and regulating cohesin recruitment and inter-TAD interactions. Surprisingly, we discovered that METTL7A remodels the chromatin landscape prior to any noticeable oncogene copy number gains. Furthermore, while METTL7A depletion has little effect on drug-naïve cells, METTL7A depletion prevents the formation of TKI resistant-clones, highlighting the specific role of METTL7A as cells are acquiring resistance. In summary, we discovered an unexpected mechanism required for the acquisition of TKI resistance regulated by a largely uncharacterized factor, METTL7A. This discovery sheds new light into maintenance of oncogene copy number and paves the way to the development of new therapeutics for preventing TKI resistance in LUAD.
