Project description:Chromatin remodeling complexes regulate gene expression by shifting, evicting, and exchanging nucleosomes along the chromosomes of eukaryotic organisms. The mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex (mSWI/SNF or BAF) is mutated in over 20% of human cancers and loss of the SMARCB1 gene, encoding the BAF47 protein subunit, results in one of the most aggressive and lethal pediatric cancers. An accumulation of point mutations occurs at the C-terminal end of the protein, for which the functional ramifications are unknown. We previously demonstrated that reintroduction of SMARCB1 in SMARCB1-null malignant rhabdoid tumor cells results in a genome-wide increase of mSWI/SNF complex occupancy coupled with activation of PRC2-repressed genes. Here, we study the functional consequences that these point mutations exert on mSWI/SNF complex activity in SMARCB1-deficient tumor cells and extend this investigation to a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SMARCB1-heterozygous mutant induced pluripotent stem cell. Intriguingly, we observe that the mutant complexes bind similarly to wild-type SMARCB1 complexes at enhancers throughout the genome but often fail to transcriptionally activate nearby genes in a cis-regulatory manner.

Project description:We interfeered with the ASCL1-mSWI/SNF interaction: to abolish ASCL1 function, we knocked out ASCL1 in human iPSCs, while we used the BRM014 inhibitor to block the mSWI/SNF ATPase activity. We then performed ASCL1 ChIPseq in DIV24 WT and BRM014-treated neural cultures, and SMARCB1 ChIPseq in DIV24 WT and ASCL1 KO neural cultures, when ASCL1 expression is highest.

Project description:While oncogenes can potentially be inhibited with small molecules, the loss of tumor suppressors is more common and presents a conundrum for precision therapy because the proteins are no longer present. SMARCB1-mutant cancers epitomize this challenge because these highly lethal cancers are driven by inactivation of a single gene, a subunit of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes. To generate mechanistic insight into the consequences of SMARCB1 mutation and to seek vulnerabilities, we contributed 16 SMARCB1-mutant cell lines to a near-genomewide CRISPR screen as part of the Cancer Dependency Map1-3. Here we report that the little-studied gene DCAF5 (DDB1-CUL4 Associated Factor 5) is a specific dependency in SMARCB1-mutant cancers. We show that DCAF5 serves a quality control function for SWI/SNF complexes and in the absence of SMARCB1 DCAF5 causes degradation of incompletely assembled SWI/SNF complexes. Upon inhibition of DCAF5 SMARCB1-deficient SWI/SNF complexes re-accumulate, bind to target loci, and restore gene expression to levels sufficient to fully reverse the cancer state, including in a xenograft mouse model. Consequently, cancer results not from the loss of SMARCB1 function per se but rather from DCAF5-mediated degradation of SWI/SNF complexes. These data indicate that therapeutic targeting of DCAF5 may be sufficient to restore substantial SWI/SNF function and reverse cancer phenotypes caused by SMARCB1 loss.

Project description:SMARCB1 (Snf5/Ini1/Baf47) is a potent tumor suppressor, the loss of which serves as the diagnostic feature in Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors (MRT) and Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumors (AT/RT), two highly aggressive forms of pediatric neoplasms. Here, we restore Smarcb1 expression in cells derived from Smarcb1-deficient tumors which developed in Smarcb1-heterozygous p53-/- mice. Profiling Smarcb1 dependent gene expression we find genes which are dependent on Smarcb1 expression to be enriched for ECM and cell adhesion functions. We identify Igfbp7, which is related to the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins family, as a downstream target of Smarcb1 transcriptional activity, and show that re-introduction of Igfbp7 alone can hinder tumor development. Two cancer cell lines, 167 and 365, derived from Smarcb1-deficient tumors which developed in Smarcb1-heterozygous p53-/- mice were re-infected with a retro-viral vector for Smarcb1 re-expression or an empty retro-viral vector as control. Total-RNA was collected 3 days post infection so as to enrich for direct targets of Smarcb1 transcriptionaly regulated genes

Project description:Genes encoding subunits of SWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin remodeling complexes are mutated in >20% of cancers. SWI/SNF complexes exist in three distinct families that each contribute to regulation of transcription, although the functional interactions between the families are not well understood. Rhabdoid tumors constitute an informative model system as these highly aggressive cancers are driven by inactivation of a single SWI/SNF subunit, SMARCB1, which is present in two SWI/SNF families (cBAF and PBAF) but not in the third (GBAF/ncBAF). We and others have shown that BRD9, a therapeutically targetable member of ncBAF, is essential specifically in SMARCB1-deficient cancers, suggesting key functional relationships between SMARCB1-containing complexes and BRD9/ncBAF. However, the mechanistic underpinnings of these relationships are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that genomic binding of BRD9 is largely dependent upon SMARCB1 such that the absence of SMARCB1 results in significantly reduced BRD9 binding. At select sites, however, we show that SMARCB1-loss results in gain of BRD9 binding and BRD9-dependent accessibility. We find that this gain is associated with expression of genes promoting cell migration. Our results define relationships between SWI/SNF complex families, elucidate mechanisms by which SMARCB1 loss drives oncogenesis, and provide mechanistic insight into the synthetic-lethal relationship between SMARCB1 and BRD9.
