Gene expression in Ewing tumor cell lines after STEAP1 silencing

ABSTRACT: Goal: identification of differentially expressed genes after STEAP1 silencing. Ewing tumors (ET) are characterized by oncogenic EWS/ETS translocations and early metastasis. STEAP1 is a membrane-bound channel protein of unkown function. While overexpressed in many cancers, STEAP1 expression is strongly restricted to mesenchymal stem cells, prostate and urothelium among benign tissues. Here we show that STEAP1 is a direct transcriptional target of EWS/FLI1 and critical for ET malignancy. We demonstrate that STEAP1 is most prominently expressed in ET among sarcomas and provide further evidence for the concept of STEAP1 as a universal diagnostic marker for carcinomas. Using RNA interference we determined that STEAP1 promotes cellular invasiveness and anchorage-independent growth in vitro and accelerates tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Transcriptome and proteome analyses as well as functional studies reveal that STEAP1 contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen species that in turn regulate the levels of redox-sensitive signaling molecules and pro-metatstatic genes. In synopsis, these data illuminate the hitherto unkown oncogenic function of STEAP1 as a redox-modulator in ET and point to a potential role of STEAP1 as universal drug target for anti-cancer therapy. 6 samples (3x A673 cells; 3x SK-N-MC cells); for each cell line one sample was transfected with control non silencing siRNA and two samples with different STEAP1 siRNAs (siSTEAP1_2 and siSTEAP1_3).

RNAi profiling of human ezh2 specific siRNA A673 treated cells reveals EZh2 is a mediator of EWS-FLI1 driven tumor growth blocking endothelial and neuro-ectodermal differentiation

Project description:Ewing Tumors (ET) are highly malignant tumors, localized in bone or soft tissue and are molecularly defined by ews/ets translocations. We identified histone methyl-transferase Enhancer of Zeste, Drosophila, Homolog 2 (EZH2) to be increased in ET. EZH2âs suppressive activity maintains stemness in normal and malignant cells. Here we found EZH2 to be upregulated by the pathognomonic fusion oncogene EWS-FLI1 in ET and mesenchymal stem cells. Downregulation of EZH2 by RNA interference in ET suppressed oncogenic transformation by inhibiting clonogenicity in vitro. Similarly, tumor development and metastasis in immunodeficient Rag2-/-Î³C-/- mice was suppressed. EZH2-mediated gene silencing was shown to be dependent on histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity. Subsequent microarray analysis of EZH2 knock down, HDAC-inhibitor treatment and confirmation in independent assays revealed an undifferentiated phenotype maintained by EZH2 in ET. Downregulation of EZH2 decreased histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) at target loci. EZH2 regulated stemness genes such as nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) as well as genes involved in neuroectodermal differentiation (EMP1, EPHB2, GFAP, GAP43). These data suggest that EZH2 might play a central role in Ewing Tumor pathology shaping the oncogenicity and stem cell phenotype of this tumor presumably by epigenetic regulation. Experiment Overall Design: A673 cells were treated for 24 hours either with 100 nM Trichostatin A (TSA) or 0.01% DMSO. In siRNA experiments with ezh2 specific siRNA A673 cells were resuspended in medium containing 5 nM siRNA and transfection reagent and incubated for 48 hours. RNA from cells under such treatment was isolated with Trizol and subjected to microarray analysis onto human U133A microarray following the Affymetrix protocol.

RUNX3 Facilitates Growth of Ewing Sarcoma Cells

Project description:Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive pediatric small round cell tumor that predominantly occurs in bone. Approximately 85% of Ewing sarcomas harbor the EWS/FLI fusion protein, which arises from a chromosomal translocation, t(11:22)(q24:q12). EWS/FLI interacts with numerous lineage-essential transcription factors to maintain mesenchymal progenitors in an undifferentiated state. We previously showed that EWS/FLI binds the osteogenic transcription factor RUNX2 and prevents osteoblast differentiation. In this study, we investigated the role of another Runt-domain protein, RUNX3, in Ewing sarcoma. RUNX3 participates in mesenchymal-derived bone formation and is a context dependent tumor suppressor and oncogene. RUNX3 was detected in all Ewing sarcoma cells examined, whereas RUNX2 was detected in only 73% of specimens. Like RUNX2, RUNX3 binds to EWS/FLI via its Runt domain. EWS/FLI prevented RUNX3 from activating the transcription of a RUNX-responsive reporter, p6OSE2. Stable suppression of RUNX3 expression in the Ewing sarcoma cell line A673 delayed colony growth in anchorage independent soft agar assays and reversed expression of EWS/FLI-responsive genes. These results demonstrate an important role for RUNX3 in Ewing sarcoma. RNA-seq to compare transcriptiome of control A673 ewing sarcoma cells stably expression a non-target or RUNX3 shRNA

Low-dose actinomycin D preferentially disrupts EWS-FLI1DNA binding.

Project description:Fusion of the EWS gene to FLI1 produces a fusion oncoprotein that drives an aberrant gene expression program responsible for the development of Ewing sarcoma. We used a homogenous proximity assay to screen for compounds that disrupt the binding of EWS-FLI1 to its cognate DNA targets. A number of DNA-binding chemotherapeutic agents were found to non-specifically disrupt protein binding to DNA. In contrast, actinomycin D was found to preferentially disrupt EWS-FLI1 binding by comparison to p53 binding to their respective cognate DNA targets in vitro. In cell-based assays, low concentrations of actinomycin preferentially blocked EWS-FLI1 binding to chromatin, and disrupted EWS-FLI1-mediated gene expression. Higher concentrations of actinomycin globally repressed transcription. These results demonstrate that actinomycin preferentially disrupts EWS-FLI1 binding to DNA at selected concentrations. Although the window between this preferential effect and global suppression is too narrow to exploit in a therapeutic manner, these results suggest that base-preferences may be exploited to find DNA-binding compounds that preferentially disrupt subclasses of transcription factors. Using proximity assays in A673 Ewing Sarcoma cells, we screened 7 bioactive-enriched small molecule libraries, totaling 5,200 compounds to identify compounds that could disrupt the binding of EWS-FLI1 to its cognate DNA binding sequence. We defined a set of EWS-FLI1-regulated genes by shRNA depletion of EWS-FLI1in the same cell line. Duplicate knock down experiments were carried out and compared to duplicate scrambled shRNA controls. This signature was used to interrogate the effects in duplicate experiments of low- and high-dose actinomycin D treatment in A673 cells as compared to DMSO and untreated controls (2 each).

IL1RAP augments cysteine metabolism to promote ferroptosis resistance and metastasis in Ewing sarcoma

Project description:Aggressive cancer cells must adapt and overcome oxidative stress encountered during the metastatic cascade to successfully disseminate. In this work, a combination of proteomic approaches is used to identify the IL1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP) as an in vitro suppressor of anoikis (detachment-induced cell death). IL1RAP is found to be a direct transcriptional target of characteristic Ewing sarcoma (EwS) oncogenic fusions and an important overall mediator of redox homeostasis through the maintenance of glutathione (GSH) synthesis. IL1RAP is found to control intracellular cysteine and GSH synthesis in EwS via binding to CD98 and SLC7A11 of the system Xc- transporter to enhance exogenous cystine uptake for cysteine conversion. In addition, IL1RAP transcriptionally controls cystathionine gamma lyase (CTH), an enzyme that is crucial for de novo cysteine synthesis via the transsulfuration pathway. IL1RAP or CTH depletion is found to susceptibility to ferroptosis and dramatically reduced overall lung metastasis of EwS xenografts in mice. Together, this work describes the critical role of IL1RAP in the maintenance of redox homeostasis through cysteine metabolism in EwS, and identifies a previously unidentified pathway in the pathobiology of this disease.

EZH2 is a mediator of EWS-FLI1 driven tumor growth blocking endothelial and neuro-ectodermal differentiation

Project description:Ewing Tumors (ET) are highly malignant tumors, localized in bone or soft tissue and are molecularly defined by ews/ets translocations.

Genome-wide chromatin analysis of Ewing sarcoma (RNA-seq)

Project description:We show that EWS-FLI1, an aberrant transcription factor responsible for the pathogenesis of Ewing sarcoma, reprograms gene regulatory circuits by directly inducing or directly repressing enhancers. At GGAA repeats, which lack regulatory potential in other cell types and are not evolutionarily conserved, EWS- FLI1 multimers potently induce chromatin opening, recruit p300 and WDR5, and create de novo enhancers. GGAA repeat enhancers can loop to physically interact with target promoters, as demonstrated by chromosome conformation capture assays. Conversely, EWS-FLI1 inactivates conserved enhancers containing canonical ETS motifs by displacing wild-type ETS transcription factors and abrogating p300 recruitment. Ewing sarcoma cell lines (A673 and SKNMC) were analyzed by RNA-seq. EWS-FLI1 was depleted by infection with lentiviral shRNAs (shFLI1 and shGFP control).

Epigenetic Maintenance of Stemness and Malignancy in Peripheral Neuroectodermal Tumors by EZH2

Project description:Chromatin modifications are increasingly recognized as a key mechanism in cancer. The histone methyl-transferase Enhancer of Zeste, Drosophila, Homolog 2 (EZH2) is the enzymatic subunit of the polycomb PRC2 complex and methylates histone H3K27, thereby, mediating gene silencing. Down-regulation of EZH2 by RNA interference in ET suppressed oncogenic transformation, tumor development and metastasis in a respective mouse model. Further microarray analysis of EZH2 knock down, or functionally linked HDAC-inhibitor treatment revealed an undifferentiated reversible phenotype in ET maintained by EZH2. EZH2 suppression resulted in a generalized loss of H3K27me3 as well as an increase in H3 acetylation levels. In addition, ChIP-Chip assays for H3K27me3 identified genes that had specifically lost H3K27me3 upon EZH2 silencing. These findings suggested that stemness features are preserved via epigenetic mechanisms. Taken together, the genetic EWS-Fli1 translocation is intimately linked to global and gene specific epigenetic alterations in ET biology. EZH2 mediates neuroectodermal and endothelial embryonal tumor stem cell growth and metastasic spread induced by a translocation derived chimeric transcription factor.

Transcription profiling of human Ewing sarcoma (A673) cells treated with cytarabine, doxorubicin and puromycin oral tongue squamous cell carcinomas to identify novel potential prognosticators

Project description:An increasing number of cancer-associated mutations have been identified. Unfortunately, little therapy today exploits these tumor-specific genetic lesions. Often, the resulting oncoproteins have been intractable to easy manipulation with current small molecule screening approaches. To overcome this impasse, we developed an expression-based approach to small molecule library screening. We applied this platform to the discovery of modulators of the activity of EWS/FLI, the Ewing sarcoma associated oncoprotein. Cytarabine (ARA-C) was identified as the top hit in a small molecule library screen. ARA-C modulates EWS/FLI by decreasing EWS/FLI protein level and has striking effects on cellular viability and transformation in in vitro and in vivo models of Ewing sarcoma. With poor outcomes for patients with relapsed Ewing sarcoma and the well established safety profile of ARA-C, clinical trials testing ARA-C in Ewing sarcoma are warranted. Expression data was created for A673 cells treated with ARA-C and two other compounds used to treat Ewing sarcoma (Puromycin and Doxorubicin) at two doses (EC50 and 2xEC50) and three time points (24 hours, 3 days, and 5 days). Experiment Overall Design: A673 cells were treated with ARA-C (at doses of EC50 and 2xEC50) or vehicle in triplicate and expression profiled at 24 hours, 3 days, and 5 days. To exclude the possibility that ARA-C's modulation of the EWS/FLI signature was simply a non-specific response to treatment with all cytotoxic agents, we asked whether other compounds known to kill Ewing sarcoma cells (Doxorubicin and Puromycin) would induce the EWS/FLI off genome-wide expression pattern. A673 cells were treated with Doxorubicin and Puromycin (at doses of EC50 and 2xEC50) and expression profiled at 24 hours, 3 days, and 5 days.
