Genome-wide mapping of MYCN binding in neuroblastoma cells

ABSTRACT: To identify the MYCN transcription factor binding sites across the genome, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) using anti-MYCN and anti-IgG antibodies on a MYCN-amplified NB cell line, SK-N-BE(2)-C.

MYCN, an oncogenic transcription factor of the Myc family, is a major driver of neuroblastoma tumorigenesis. Due to the difficulty in drugging MYCN directly, revealing the molecules in MYCN regulatory networks will help to identify effective therapeutic targets for neuroblastoma therapy. Here we perform ChIP-sequencing and small RNA-sequencing of neuroblastoma cells to determine the MYCN-binding sites and MYCN-associated microRNAs, and integrate various types of genomic data to construct MYCN re ...[more]

Project description:In neuroblastoma, amplification of the oncogenic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor (TF) MYCN is the defining prognosticator of high-risk disease, occurs in one-third of neuroblastoma, and drastically reduces overall survival rates. As a proto-oncogene, targeted MYCN overexpression in peripheral neural crest is sufficient to initiate disease in mouse models. In MYCN amplified neuroblastoma, elevated expression of the factor is crucial to maintain tumor stemness and is associated with increased proliferation and aberrant cell cycle progression, as these tumors lack the ability to arrest in G1 in response to irradiation. MYCN down-regulation broadly reverses these oncogenic phenotypes in a variety of neuroblastoma models and recent thereapeutic strategies to indirectly target MYCN production or protein stability have reduced tumor growth in vivo. These observations motivate an investigation of MYCN binding in MYCN amplified tumors as it remains fundamentally unclear how elevated levels of the factor occupy the genome and alter transcriptional programs in neuroblastoma. Here we present the first dynamic chromatin and transcriptional landscape of direct MYCN perturbation in neuroblastoma. We find that at oncogenic levels, MYCN associates with E-box (CANNTG) binding motifs in an affinity dependent manner across most active cis-regulatory promoters and enhancers. MYCN shutdown globally reduces histone acetylation and transcription, consistent with prior descriptions of MYC proteins as non-linear amplifiers of gene expression. We establish that MYCN load at the promoter and proximal enhancers predicts transcriptional responsiveness to MYCN shutdown and that MYCN enhancer binding occurs prominently at the most strongly occupied and down-regulated genes, suggesting a role for these tissue specific elements in predicating MYCN responsive âtargetâ genes. At these invaded enhancers, we identify the lineage specific bHLH TWIST1 as a key collaborator and dependency of oncogenic MYCN. These data suggest that MYCN enhancer invasion helps shape transcriptional amplification of the neuroblastoma gene expression program to promote tumorigenesis.

Project description:MYCN is an oncogene amplified in approximately 20% of all neuroblastomas and 50% of high risk neuroblastoma. It is a transcription factor regulating the expression of genes involved in proliferation and apoptosis.We would like to identify genes potentially regulated by MYCN in a conditional MYCN expression system. The SHEP Tet21N system is a conditional, tetracycline-regulated MYCN expression system established in the MYCN non-amplified SHEP neuroblastoma cell line (Lutz et al., 1996). Expression of MYCN is switched off by the addition of tetracycline to the growth medium. Levels of MYCN protein and RNA in the absence of tetracycline are comparable with those present in MYCN amplified cell lines (Bell et al., 2006). By performing microarray analyses on the Tet21n cell lines in the presence and absence of MYCN we hope to identify genes whose expression had been altered by MYCN either upregulated or downregulated and may be potential MYCN targets. The altered expression of some of these genes will then be validated using quantitative RTPCR and a selection will be further investigated to determine if they are MYCN transcriptional targets and may be potential candidates for anti-MYCN therapies for neuroblastoma Specific objectives 1) To investigate genes which are altered by 2 fold or more in the presence of or absence of MYCN in Tet21N cells.
