Project description:The histone methyltransferase enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2)-mediated epigenetic regulation of T cell differentiation in acute infection has been extensively investigated. However, the role of EZH2 in T cell exhaustion remains under-explored. Here, using in vitro exhaustion models, we demonstrate that transient inhibition of EZH2 in T cells prior to the phenotypic onset of exhaustion with a clinically approved inhibitor, Tazemetostat, delays their dysfunctional progression and preserves T cell stemness and polyfunctionality while having no negative impact on cell proliferation. Tazemetostat induces T-cell epigenetic reprogramming and increases the expression of the self-renewal T cell transcription factor TCF1 by reducing its promoter H3K27 methylation preferentially in rapidly dividing T cells. Transcriptomic profiling revealed a cell division-dependent upregulation of genes associated with thymocytes, memory and effector T cell subsets. Mapping of EZH2-associated genomic regions by ChIP-seq showed an enrichment of promoters among H2K27me3 loci reduced in abundance by tazemetostat, including those genes upregulated in taz-treated T cells.

Project description:Mutations and structural alterations of the SWI/SNF-like chromatin remodeler ATRX have been reported at high frequency in a number of adult and pediatric tumors1. However, the consequences of ATRX (Alpha Thalassemia/Mental Retardation, X-linked) mutations in cancer and their underlying epigenetic sensitivities remain ill defined. Particularly intriguing are the large N-terminal deletions of ATRX in neuroblastoma that generate in-frame fusion (IFF) proteins1–3 devoid of key chromatin interaction domains. Here we demonstrate that neuroblastoma cells harbouring ATRX IFFs have distinct gene expression programs compared to neuroblastoma cells that are wild type for ATRX. This is due in part to H3K27me3-mediated silencing of REST (RE1 Silencing Transcription Factor) target genes involved in neuronal differentiation. In turn, we find that ATRX IFF cells display exquisite sensitivity to EZH2 inhibition in both adherent and tumorsphere conditions, due in part to derepression of neurogenesis genes, including REST targets. Examination of the epigenomic landscape of a pediatric neuroblastoma tumor harboring an ATRX IFF revealed that H3K27me3 occupies a subset of REST target genes that are transcriptionally silenced, and are sensitive to EZH2 inhibition in our cell-based assays. Thus, our study greatly advances our understanding of indolent neuroblastoma and identifies EZH2 inhibition as a potential therapy for patients with ATRX mutant disease. Further, these studies may be applicable to other ATRX mutant pediatric malignancies, particularly those carrying similar structural alterations of ATRX.

Project description:Macrophages play a key role in both innate and adaptive immunity, but our knowledge on the changes in transcription regulation that occurs during their differentiation from monocytes is still limited. In this study, we used a meta-analysis followed by a systems biology approach for the identification of differentially expressed genes between monocytes and macrophages and possible regulators of these changes in transcription. Based on the pattern of gene expression change, transcription regulator analysis predicted a decrease in Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone 3 lysine 27 methyl transferase, activity after differentiation of monocytes into macrophages. This inhibition was validated by a significant decrease in trimethylated H3K27 during differentiation of both human primary monocytes into macrophages and the THP-1 cell line into macrophage-like cells. Overexpressing EZH2 during differentiation of monocytes and THP-1 cells obstructs cellular adhesion, thus preventing the first step in differentiation. Another facet of macrophage differentiation is the cessation of proliferation, and inhibition of EZH2 by the small molecule inhibitor GSK126 in THP-1 cells indeed impedes proliferation. This study shows an important part for epigenetic changes during monocyte differentiation. It highlights the role of EZH2 activity behind the changes needed in adhesion and proliferation mechanisms for macrophage formation. THP-1s were treated with the EZH2 inhibitor GSK126 for phenotypic and genotypic analysis.

Project description:The purpose of this research is to study the mechanism of the synergistic effect combining EZH2 inhibition and PI3K inhibition. In this study, we observed that the PIK3CA-mutant or amplified lung cancer cells were more sensitive to EZH2 inhibition. PIK3CA E545K, the most common mutation in lung cancer, harbored a modest transformation capacity along with p53 loss in lung epithelial cells, and developed adenocarcinoma autochthonously. EZH2 inhibitor synergized with PI3K inhibitor in human cancer cells in vitro and worked together efficiently in vivo. Mechanistically, EZH2 inhibition cooperated with PI3K inhibition to produce a more potent suppression of phospho-AKT downstream of PI3K.

Project description:To understand the role of Ezh2 in B cell differentiation B cells were stimulated ex vivo with LPS, Il2, and Il5 in the presence of DMSO or the selective Ezh2 inhibitor GSK343. Following 3 days culture, activated B cells and Plasmablasts were FACS isolated and RNA-seq was performed to identify the molecular effects of Ezh2 inhibition on B cell subsets during differentiation.

Project description:This study investigates the potential of EZH2 inhibition as a preventive strategy for colorectal cancer in Lynch Syndrome (LS) by modulating the immune system. Using a mouse model of LS and colonic organoids, researchers treated the mice with the EZH2 inhibitor GSK503 and observed increased CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in both spleen and colon tissue. Over a 9-week period, the inhibitor reduced adenoma formation, indicating its preventive efficacy. RNA sequencing and ChIPseq analyses revealed that EZH2 inhibition activated immune and apoptotic markers and decreased H3K27 methylation, leading to changes in gene regulation. These findings suggest that EZH2 inhibitors hold promise for cancer prevention in LS by reprogramming immune responses and gene expression patterns.
