Gene expression profiling of human Ewing sarcoma cells after knockdown of EGR2 or EWSR1-FLI1.

ABSTRACT: To get insight in the functional role of EGR2 for Ewing sarcoma, we performed a transcriptional profiling of Ewing sarcoma cells after knockdown of EGR2 and compared the resulting transcriptional signature with that of EWSR1-FLI1-silenced Ewing sarcoma cells. In accordance with the strong EGR2-induction by EWSR1-FLI1, both genes highly significantly overlap in their transcriptional signatures. Gene-set enrichment analyses (GSEA) and DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visualisation and Integrated Discovery) gene ontology analyses indicated a strong impact of EGR2 on cholesterol and lipid biosynthesis resembling its function in orchestrating lipid metabolism of myelinating Schwann cells. A673 and SK-N-MC Ewing sarcoma cells were transfected with specific siRNAs directed against EGR2 or EWSR1-FLI1 or non-targeting control siRNA. 48 h thereafter RNA was harvested and processed for microarray analysis.

Targeting EWSR1-FLI1 oncogene induced protein kinase C beta abolishes Ewing sarcoma growth in vivo

Project description:Identification of druggable targets is a prerequisite for developing targeted therapies against Ewing sarcoma. We report the identification of Protein Kinase C Beta (PRKCB) as a protein specifically and highly expressed in Ewing sarcoma as compared to other pediatric cancers. Its transcriptional activation is directly regulated by the EWSR1-FLI1 oncogene. Getting insights in PRKCB activity we show that, together with PRKCA, it is responsible for the phosphorylation of histone H3T6, allowing global maintenance of H3K4 trimethylation on a variety of gene promoters. In the long term, PRKCB RNA interference induces apoptosis in vitro. More importantly, in xenograft mice models, complete impairment of tumor engraftment and even tumor regression were observed upon PRKCB inhibition, highlighting PRKCB as a most valuable therapeutic target. Deciphering PRKCB roles in Ewing sarcoma using expression profiling, we found a strong overlap with genes modulated by EWSR1-FLI1 and an involvement of RPKCB in regulating crucial signaling pathways. Altogether, we show that PRKCB may have two important independent functions and should be considered as highly valuable for understanding Ewing sarcoma biology and as a promising target for new therapeutic approaches in Ewing sarcoma. A673 Ewing cell line was treated for 72 hours by either control siRNA or siRNA directed against PRKCB or EWSR1-FLI1. Total RNAs were extracted and hybridized on HuGene1.1STv1 Affymetrix Arrays. Normalisation was performed using specific Brainarray Enrtez gene CDF file (v14.1).

Gene expression profile upon EWSR1::FLI1 knockdown in Ewing sarcoma cells A673 in vitro

Project description:Ewing sarcoma, a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer, is characterized by chromosomal translocations that give rise to chimeric transcription factors. The most frequent of these chromosomal translocations is the t(11;22) that produces the fusion of the EWSR1 and FLI1 genes to generate the chimeric transcription factor EWSR1::FLI1. EWSR1::FLI1 is the main oncogenic event in Ewing's sarcoma. Recently, it has been proposed that EWSR1::FLI1 levels may fluctuate in Ewing sarcoma cells, giving rise to two cell populations: cells expressing low levels of EWSR1::FLI1 are characterized by a more migratory and invasive phenotype, while cells expressing high levels of EWSR1::FLI1 are more proliferative. The identification and functional characterization of EWSR1::FLI1 gene targets is therefore relevant to understanding the pathobiology of Ewing sarcoma, which in turn could contribute to the identification of new therapeutic targets. Using this approach, we have observed that CD44, a transmembrane protein involved in cell adhesion and migration and associated with metastasis in various cancer types, is overexpressed in the EWSR1::FLI1-low phenotype. Our results suggest that CD44 may play a role in regulating cell migration in Ewing sarcoma cells and thus contribute to the spread of tumor cells.

Knowk-down of EWSR1-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cell lines (RNA-seq)

Project description:EWSR1-FLI1 is a chimeric transcription factor resulting from the pathognomonic translocation present in Ewing sarcoma cells. Here, we silenced EWSR1-FLI1 in different Ewing sarcoma cell lines. RNA from SKNMC, TC71 and MHH-ES1 cells was extracted 96h post transfection (siCT or siEWSR1-FLI1) or prior doxycycline (day 0) and 7 days after inducing silencing of EWSR1-FLI1 with doxycycline in ASP14 cells. RNA-seq was performed for all conditions.

Fusion protein EWS-FLI1 is incorporated into a protein granule in cells

Project description:Ewing sarcoma is driven by fusion proteins containing a low complexity (LC) domain that is intrinsically disordered and a powerful transcriptional regulator. The most common fusion protein found in Ewing sarcoma, EWS-FLI1, takes its LC domain from the RNA-binding protein EWSR1 (Ewing Sarcoma RNA-binding protein 1) and a DNA-binding domain from the transcription factor FLI1 (Friend Leukemia Virus Integration 1). The LC domain in EWS-FLI1 can bind RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II) and can self-assemble through a process known as phase separation. The ability of EWSR1 and related RNA-binding proteins to assemble into ribonucleoprotein granules in cells has been intensely studied but the role of phase separation in EWS-FLI1 activity is less understood. We investigated the overlapping functions of EWSR1 and EWS-FLI1 in controlling gene expression and tumorigenic cell growth in Ewing sarcoma, and our results suggested that these proteins function closely together. We then studied the nature of interactions among EWS-FLI1, EWSR1, and RNA Pol II. We observed EWSR1 and RNA Pol II to be present in protein granules in cells. We then identified protein granules in cells associated with the fusion protein, EWS-FLI1. The tyrosine residues in the LC domain are required for the abilities of EWS-FLI1 to bind its partners, EWSR1 and RNA Pol II, and to incorporate into protein granules. These data suggest that interactions among EWS-FLI1, RNA Pol II, and EWSR1 in Ewing sarcoma can occur in the context of a molecular scaffold found within protein granules in the cell.

Expression profiling of Ewing sarcoma samples

Project description:Expression profiling of Ewing sarcoma samples in the frame of the CIT program from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net). Ewing sarcoma a rare pediatric tumor characterized by EWSR1-ETS fusions, is predominantly observed in populations of European ancestry. A genome-wide association study of at least 401 French ES patients compared to either 684 French or 3668 US self-described Caucasian controls consistently revealed candidate loci at chromosomes 1 and 10 (p<10-6). These loci were further replicated in two independent sets of cases and controls. Joint analysis identified rs9430161 (p=1.4x10-20; OR=2.2, CI99=1.8-2.7) 25kb upstream to TARDBP (1p36.22) and rs224278 (p=4.0x10-17 OR=1.7, CI99=1.4-1.9) 5kb upstream to EGR2 (10q21). The frequency of the major risk haplotypes in the European population were observed to be less prevalent in the African population, suggesting that variants at these loci could contribute to the differences in ES incidence observed between continents. TARDBP shares structural similarities with EWSR1 and FUS (TLS) EGR2 is an EWSR1-ETS target gene. Variants at both loci were associated with expression levels of TARDBP, ADO and EGR2. 117 Ewing sarcoma samples were profiled using affymetrix hgu133Plus2 arrays.

The transcription factor FEZF1, a direct target of EWSR1-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cells, regulates the expression of neural-specific genes

Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of the well-characterized Ewing sarcoma cell line A673 indicated that one of the genes more strongly upregulated by EWSR1-FLI1 was FEZF1 (FEZ family zinc finger protein 1), a transcriptional repressor involved in brain development and neural cell identity. FEZF1 was highly expressed in Ewing sarcoma cells but not in other bone tumors such as osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma. FEZF1 promoter contains a large GGAA-microsatellite and the number of GGAA repeats correlated positively with FEZF1 expression levels in Ewing sarcoma cell lines. To characterize the functional role of FEZF1 in Ewing sarcoma we analyzed the effect of FEZF1 knockdown in three Ewing sarcoma cell lines (A673, SKNMC, SKES1). FEZF1 knockdown inhibited clone formation in clonogenic assays and cell proliferation. Finally, we analyzed the FEZF1-dependent expression profile in A673 cells by RNAseq. Interestingly, several neural genes regulated by FEZF1 were concomitantly regulated by EWSR1-FLI1. In summary, FEZF1 is a transcriptional target of EWSR1-FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cells involved in the regulation of neural-specific genes which could explain, at least in part, the neural-like phenotype observed in several Ewing sarcoma tumors and derived cell lines.

ChIP-seq data in MSC_Pat and EWIma1 (FLI1 & H3K27ac)

Project description:Ewing sarcoma is characterized by pathognomonic translocations fusing most frequently EWSR1 with FLI1 (EF1). In addition, Ewing sarcoma can also display alterations in STAG2, TP53 and CDKN2A (SPC). Starting from Ewing sarcoma derived human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCpat), we recapitulated this translocation and SPC alterations using a CRISPR/cas9 approach and generated a bona fide Ewing sarcoma model (EWIma1) displaying transcriptomic and epigenetic hallmarks of EwS.
