Project description:MYC-driven medulloblastoma (MB) is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor characterized by therapy resistance and disease recurrence. Here we integrated data from unbiased genetic screening and metabolomic profiling to identify multiple cancer-selective metabolic vulnerabilities in MYC-driven MB tumor cells, which are amenable to therapeutic targeting. Among these targets, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), an enzyme that catalyzes de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis, emerged as a favorable candidate for therapeutic targeting. Mechanistically, DHODH inhibition acts on-target leading to uridine metabolite scarcity and hyperlipidemia, accompanied by reduced protein O-GlcNAcylation and c-Myc degradation. Pyrimidine starvation evokes a metabolic stress response that leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We further show that an orally available small molecule DHODH inhibitor demonstrates potent mono-therapeutic efficacy against patient-derived MB xenografts in vivo. The reprogramming of pyrimidine metabolism in MYC-driven medulloblastoma represents an unappreciated therapeutic strategy and a potential new class of treatments with stronger cancer selectivity and fewer neurotoxic sequelae.

Project description:Deregulation of N-myc is a leading cause of malignant brain tumors in children. To target N-myc-driven medulloblastoma, most research has focused on identifying genomic alterations or on the analysis of the medulloblastoma transcriptome. Here, we have broadly characterized the translatome of medulloblastoma and shown that N-myc unexpectedly drives selective translation of transcripts that promote protein homeostasis. Cancer cells are constantly exposed to proteotoxic stress associated with alterations in protein production or folding. It remains poorly understood how cancers cope with proteotoxic stress to promote their growth. Here, our data unexpectedly revealed that N-myc regulates the expression of specific components (~5%) of the protein folding machinery at the translational level through the major cap binding protein, eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4E. Reducing eIF4E levels in mouse models of medulloblastoma blocked tumorigenesis. Importantly, targeting Hsp70, a protein folding chaperone translationally regulated by N-myc, suppressed tumor growth in mouse and human medulloblastoma xenograft models. These findings reveal a previously hidden molecular program that promotes medulloblastoma formation and identify new therapies that may have impact in the clinic.

Project description:We undertook a comprehensive clinical and biological investigation of serial medulloblastoma biopsies obtained at diagnosis and relapse. Combined MYC gene family amplifications and P53 pathway defects commonly emerged at relapse, and all patients in this molecular group died of rapidly progressive disease post-relapse. To study this genetic interaction, we investigated a transgenic model of MYCN-driven medulloblastoma and found spontaneous development of Trp53 inactivating mutations. Abrogation of Trp53 function in this model produced aggressive tumors that mimicked the characteristics of relapsed human tumors with combined P53–MYC dysfunction. Restoration of p53 activity, genetic and therapeutic suppression of MYCN all reduced tumor growth and prolonged survival. Our findings identify P53–MYC interactions which emerge at medulloblastoma relapse as biomarkers of clinically aggressive disease that may be targeted therapeutically. There are currently no effective therapies for children with relapsed medulloblastoma. While clinical and biological features of the disease at diagnosis are increasingly well understood, biopsy is rarely performed at relapse and few biological data are available to guide more effective treatments. Here, we show that medulloblastomas develop altered biology at relapse which is predictive of disease course and cannot be detected at diagnosis. We have discovered the emergence of P53–MYC interactions at relapse, as biomarkers of clinically aggressive relapsed disease, which can be modelled and targeted therapeutically in genetically-engineered mice. These data provide clear precedent for the incorporation of biopsy at relapse into routine clinical practice, to direct palliative care and the development of improved treatment strategies. mouse model expression profiles from various mouse Medulloblastoma models MYCN/MYC overexpressing with/without p53 Mutations were compared to human MB expression profiles using Non-negative Matrix Factorization projection in order to sub-type the mouse models

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Patients whose tumors exhibit overexpression or amplification of the MYC oncogene (c-MYC) usually have an extremely poor prognosis, but there are no animal models of this subtype of the disease. Here we show that cerebellar stem cells expressing Myc and mutant Trp53 (p53) generate aggressive tumors following orthotopic transplantation. These tumors consist of large, pleiomorphic cells and resemble human MYC-driven MB at a molecular level. Notably, antagonists of PI3K/mTOR signaling, but not Hedgehog signaling, inhibit growth of tumor cells. These findings suggest that cerebellar stem cells can give rise to MYC-driven MB, and identify a novel model that can be used to test therapies for this devastating disease. To gain insight into the pathways that control growth of MYC-driven MB, we compared gene expression profiles of murine Myc/DNp53 (MP) tumor cells to those of freshly isolated cerebellar stem cells (Prom1+Lin- cells) and of tumors from Ptch1 mutant mice (a model for Sonic Hedgehog-associated MB). RNA was isolated from stem cells and tumor cells using the RNAqueous kit (Ambion). RNA was labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. 19 mouse cell samples (stem cells and tumor cells) were analyzed. There are four groups of samples, three with five biological replicates and the last with four (one outlier was removed). To gain insight into the mechanisms of transformation into tumors, we compared the gene expression profiles of MP tumor cells derived from stem cells (Myc/DNp53-infected Prom1+Lin- cells, designated MP-pl) or progenitors (Myc/DNp53-infected Prom1+ cells, designated MP-p) to gene expression profiles of uninfected stem cells (designated NSC) and profiles from a distinct model of medulloblastoma, the patched mutant mouse (designated ptch1).

Project description:Aberrant oncogenic activation of MYC drives tumorigenesis in the most aggressive subset of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor in childhood. Metastatic dissemination at diagnosis and at recurrence is commonly observed in MYC-driven medulloblastomas. Since these tumors display remarkable resistance to standard multimodal therapeutic approaches, epigenetic modulators commonly altered in these tumors are highly promising targets for novel therapeutic approaches. Here, we report on a cross-entity, high-throughput epigenetic drug screen to evaluate therapeutic vulnerabilities in the most common malignant primary brain tumors. Specifically, we performed a primary screen including 78 epigenetic inhibitors and a secondary screen including 20 histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) to compare response profiles in atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT, n=11), medulloblastoma (n=14), and glioblastoma (n=14). This unbiased approach revealed preferential activity of HDACi in MYC-driven medulloblastoma. Importantly, the class I selective HDACi CI-994 showed significant cell viability reduction mediated by induction of apoptosis in MYC-driven medulloblastoma, with little to no activity in non-MYC-driven medulloblastoma, AT/RT, and glioblastoma in vitro. Notably, CI-994 displayed antitumoral effects at the primary site and the metastatic compartment in two orthotopic mouse models of MYC-driven medulloblastoma. Furthermore, synergistic drug screening and RNA sequencing revealed NFκB pathway induction as a mechanism of resistance to CI-994 treatment. Taken together, our findings identified MYC pathway activation as a predictive biomarker for epigenetic treatment intervention in high-risk medulloblastoma and provide a preclinical rationale for further exploration of CI-994 combined with NFκB pathway inhibitors in the treatment of MYC-driven medulloblastoma.

Project description:Myc-driven Group 3 medulloblastoma (MB) is the most aggressive tumor among the four subgroups classified by transcriptome, genomic landscape and clinical outcomes. So far in all available mouse Group 3 models, the constitutive ectopic Myc expression was under control of LTR element or other exogenous promoters within the vectors, which were randomly inserted into the genome with multiple copies. Here we are deploying nuclease deficient CRISPR/dCas9-based transactivator that is targeted to promoter DNA sequences by specific guide RNA to force the transcriptional activation of endogenous Myc in p53-/-;cdkn2c-/- neurospheres cells. A combination of three sgRNAs together with dCas9-VP64 induced the highest expression of endogenous Myc. When the targeted cells were transplanted to the cortex of recipients, tumors arose fully recapitulate the Group 3 MB in human. This novel mouse model should significantly strengthen our understanding and treatment of the Myc-driven Group 3 medulloblastoma.
