Project description:Pediatric high-grade gliomas, specifically diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG), account for 20% of clinical cases but have a 100% fatality rate. A majority of DIPG cases are characterized by the signature H3K27M mutation that is predicted to oppose EZH2, the methyltransferase enzyme of the Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2). However, a clear understanding of EZH2’s role in DIPG is lacking. In this study, by incorporating Ezh2 loss and gain of function into our DIPG mouse models we demonstrate its tumor suppressor function. Genetic ablation of Ezh2 increased cell proliferation and tumor grade while expression of an Ezh2 gain of function mutation significantly reduced tumor incidence, increased tumor latency. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that EZH2 deletion upregulates an inflammatory response with upregulation of immunoproteasome genes such as Psmb8, Psmb9, and Psmb10 while EZH2 deletion an enrichment of the oxidative phosphorylation/mitochondrial metabolic pathway namely the isocitrate dehydrogenase Idh1/2/3 genes. Pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 augmented neural progenitor cell proliferation, supporting the tumor suppressive role of EZH2. In vivo treatment of DIPG tumor bearing Ntv-a;p53fl/fl; abcb1a-/-; abcb1b-/-; abcg2-/- (ABC knockout, ABC KO) mice with EZH2 inhibitor, EPZ-6438 did not alter proliferation or significantly impact survival. Together our results suggest that EZH2 has a tumor suppressor function in DIPG and warrants caution in clinical translation of these inhibitors to treat patients with DIPG.

Project description:Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a rare and highly aggressive pediatric tumor. The average survival time after diagnosis is less than one year. Currently, there are no effective treatments. Characteristic of DIPG is a mutation in histone H3 which leads to a substitution of Lysine 27 to Methionine (H3K27M) which deregulates Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), including enzymatic activity of EZH2. Previous studies have shown that inhibition of EZH2 by chemical agents decreases DIPG cell proliferation and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. My thesis project aims to confirm that EZH2 could be a therapeutic target using chemical EZH2 inhibitors, small interfering RNAs and a CRISPR/Cas9 approach in a series of DIPG tumor cell lines and to determine underlying molecular mechanisms of action.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a lethal pediatric cancer driven by H3K27M oncohistones, exhibits aberrant epigenetic regulation and stem-like cell states. Here, we uncover an axis involving H3.3K27M oncohistones, CREB5/ID1, which sustains the stem-like state of DIPG cells, promoting malignancy. We demonstrate that CREB5 mediates elevated ID1 levels in the H3.3K27M/ACVR1WT subtype, promoting tumor growth; while BMP signaling regulates this process in the H3.1K27M/ACVR1MUT subtype. Furthermore, we reveal that H3.3K27M directly enhances CREB5 expression by reshaping the H3K27me3 landscape at the CREB5 locus, particularly at super-enhancer regions. Additionally, we elucidate the collaboration between CREB5 and BRG1, the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex catalytic subunit, in driving oncogenic transcriptional changes in H3.3K27M DIPG. Intriguingly, disrupting CREB5 super-enhancers with ABBV-075 significantly reduces its expression and inhibits H3.3K27M DIPG tumor growth. Combined treatment with ABBV-075 and a BRG1 inhibitor presents a promising therapeutic strategy for clinical translation in H3.3K27M DIPG treatment.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a fatal pediatric brain tumor with limited therapeutic options. The majority of cases of DIPG exhibit a mutation in histone 3 (H3K27M) that results in oncogenic transcriptional aberrancies. We show here that DIPG is vulnerable to transcriptional disruption using either bromodomain inhibition or CDK7 blockade. We observe that targeting oncogenic transcription through either of these methods synergizes with HDAC inhibition and that DIPG cells resistant to HDAC inhibitor therapy retain sensitivity to CDK7 blockade. Furthermore, identification of super-enhancers in DIPG provides insights toward the cell of origin, highlighting oligodendroglial lineage genes, and reveals unexpected mechanisms mediating tumor viability and invasion, including potassium channel function and EPH-ephrin signaling. The findings presented here demonstrate transcriptional vulnerabilities of DIPG and elucidate previously unknown mechanisms of DIPG pathobiology.

Project description:Purpose: More than 90% of children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) die within 2 years of diagnosis. There is a dire need to identify therapeutic targets, however lack of patient material for research has limited progress. We evaluated a large cohort of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) to identify recurrent genomic abnormalities and gene expression signatures underlying DIPG. Patients and Methods: We used single nucleotide polymorphism arrays to evaluate genomic copy number imbalances in 43 DIPGs from 40 patients and in 8 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas. Gene expression arrays were used to evaluate expression signatures from 27 DIPGs, 6 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas and 66 low-grade gliomas arising outside the brainstem. Results: Frequencies of specific large-scale and focal imbalances varied significantly between DIPGs and pediatric glioblastomas outside the brainstem. Focal amplifications of genes within the receptor tyrosine kinase-Ras-PI3-kinase signaling pathway were found in 47% of DIPG, with PDGFRA and MET showing the highest frequency. 30% of DIPG contained focal amplifications of cell-cycle regulatory genes controlling RB phosphorylation, and 21% had concurrent amplification of genes from both pathways. Some tumors showed heterogeneity in amplification patterns. DIPGs showed distinct gene expression signatures relating to developmental processes compared to pediatric glioblastomas arising outside the brainstem, while expression signatures of low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas were similar to low-grade gliomas outside the brainstem. Copy number analaysis: 43 DIPG samples, 8 Low Grade Gliomas using SNP6.0. Available matched normals are also profiled with SNP6.0. Expression analysis: 29 DIPG samples, 6 Low grade samples Please contact Suzanne Baker at Suzanne.Baker@stjude.org for CEL files and genotype calls.
