Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to stimulate proliferation of granule neuron precursor cells (GNPs) in the cerebellum. Deregulation of Shh target genes often results in unrestrained GNP proliferation and eventually medulloblastoma (MB), the most common pediatric brain malignancy. Gene expression profiling was coupled with transcription factor binding location analysis to determine the Gli1-controlled transcriptional regulatory networks in GNPs and medulloblastoma cells. We detected significant overlap, as well as differences, in the Gli1-controlled transcriptional regulatory networks in GNPs and MBs. We determined the presence of gene expression in each dataset. There were 9260 genes expressed in Gli1-FLAG GNPs and 9185 genes expressed in Gli1-FLAG;Ptc+/- tumors; 8691 of which are in common. The large overlap is consistent with the cellular origin of these tumors. When the genes detectably expressed were intersected with our binding data, there were only 132 putative Gli1 target genes shared by both cell populations. Due to the heightened activation of the Hh pathway in tumors relative to GNPs, we further deduced direct Gli1 target genes exclusive to tumors by determining significantly induced genes in tumors versus in Ptc+/- GNPs. We identified at least 116 tumor-specific Gli1 target genes. These data suggest that tumor formation is accompanied by a tremendous change in the battery of Gli target genes. Presence of gene expression was determined for all samples: Gli1-FLAG-expressing GNPs, Ptc+/- GNPs, and Gli1-FLAG;Ptc+/-medulloblastomas. These datasets were intersected with chIP-chip data to determine potential direct Gli1 target genes. Differential gene expression was determined by comparing expression profiles from medulloblastoma tumors to those from Ptc+/- GNPs.

Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to stimulate proliferation of granule neuron precursor cells (GNPs) in the cerebellum. Deregulation of Shh target genes often results in unrestrained GNP proliferation and eventually medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric brain malignancy. Transcription factor binding location analysis (chIP-chip) revealed 510 and 1,060 genomic loci bound by Gli1 with high confidence in murine GNP and medulloblastoma cells, respectively. In primary tumors, Gli1 associated with only one-third of the Gli1-bound regions in GNPs. Gene expression profiling, coupled with our binding results, indicated that there were more than one hundred target genes in common between the two cell populations, and importantly, there was an equivalent number of tumor-specific targets. These results indicate that the transformation of normal GNPs into deadly tumor cells is accompanied by some changes in the battery of genes regulated by Gli1.

Project description:The morphogen and mitogen, Sonic Hedgehog, activates a Gli1-dependent transcription program that drives proliferation of granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) within the external germinal layer of the postnatally developing cerebellum. Medulloblastomas with mutations activating the Sonic Hedgehog signaling pathway preferentially arise within the external germinal layer, and the tumor cells closely resemble GNPs. Atoh1/Math1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor essential for GNP histogenesis, does not induce medulloblastomas when expressed in primary mouse GNPs that are explanted from the early postnatal cerebellum and transplanted back into the brains of naïve mice. However, enforced expression of Atoh1 in primary GNPs enhances the oncogenicity of cells overexpressing Gli1 by almost three orders of magnitude. Unlike Gli1, Atoh1 cannot support GNP proliferation in the absence of Sonic Hedgehog signaling and does not govern expression of canonical cell cycle genes. Instead, Atoh1 maintains GNPs in a Sonic Hedgehog-responsive state by regulating genes that trigger neuronal differentiation, including many expressed in response to bone morphogenic protein-4. Therefore, by targeting multiple genes regulating the differentiation state of GNPs, Atoh1 collaborates with the pro-proliferative Gli1-dependent transcriptional program to influence medulloblastoma development.

Project description:Medulloblastoma encompasses a collection of clinically and molecularly diverse tumor subtypes that together comprise the most common malignant childhood brain tumor. These tumors are thought to arise within the cerebellum, with approximately 25% originating from granule neuron precursor cells (GNPCs) following aberrant activation of the Sonic Hedgehog pathway (hereafter, SHH-subtype). The pathological processes that drive heterogeneity among the other medulloblastoma subtypes are not known, hindering the development of much needed new therapies. Here, we provide evidence that a discrete subtype of medulloblastoma that contains activating mutations in the WNT pathway effector CTNNB1 (hereafter, WNT-subtype), arises outside the cerebellum from cells of the dorsal brainstem. We found that genes marking human WNT-subtype medulloblastomas are more frequently expressed in the lower rhombic lip (LRL) and embryonic dorsal brainstem than in the upper rhombic lip (URL) and developing cerebellum. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intra-operative reports showed that human WNT-subtype tumors infiltrate the dorsal brainstem, while SHH-subtype tumors are located within the cerebellar hemispheres. Activating mutations in Ctnnb1 had little impact on progenitor cell populations in the cerebellum, but caused the abnormal accumulation of cells on the embryonic dorsal brainstem that included aberrantly proliferating Zic1+ precursor cells. These lesions persisted in all mutant adult mice and in 15% of cases in which Tp53 was concurrently deleted, progressed to form medulloblastomas that recapitulated the anatomy and gene expression profiles of human WNT-subtype medulloblastoma. We provide the first evidence that subtypes of medulloblastoma have distinct cellular origins. Our data provide an explanation for the marked molecular and clinical differences between SHH and WNT-subtype medulloblastomas and have profound implications for future research and treatment of this important childhood cancer. A total of 16 samples are analyzed, repsresenting 4 experimental groups: Ctnnb1 medulloblastoma (3 samples); Ptch1 medulloblastoma (6 samples); embryonic dorsal brainstem (4 samples); and postnatal granule neuron precursor cells (3 samples). Every sample was prepared from a different mouse.

Project description:This study explores the role of Ezh2 in delaying the activation of differentiation genes during the development of cerebellar granule neurons (GNPs) and in SHH subtype medulloblastoma. To investigate the epigenetic landscape, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) on GNPs and medulloblastoma cells derived from Ptch1 heterozygous mice. We profiled histone modifications and key regulatory proteins, including H3K27me3, H3K27ac, H3K36me3, H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H2Aubi119, Ring1b, and Pol2S5. Additionally, we conducted ATAC-seq to assess chromatin accessibility and MIRA-seq to study DNA methylation. This dataset aims to compare the epigenetic state of normal granule neuron progenitors with that of medulloblastoma cells, providing insight into how epigenetic mechanisms contribute to neuronal differentiation. We found that the inhibition of Ezh2-mediated H3K27 methylation represses differentiation in both GNPs and medulloblastoma cells.
