ABSTRACT: Whole genome sequencing detected structural rearrangements of TERT in 17/75 high stage neuroblastoma with 5 cases resulting from chromothripsis. Rearrangements were associated with increased TERT expression and targeted immediate up- and down-stream regions of TERT, placing in 7 cases a super-enhancer close to the breakpoints. TERT rearrangements (23%), ATRX deletions (11%) and MYCN amplifications (37%) identify three almost non-overlapping groups of high stage neuroblastoma, each associated with very poor prognosis. This submission contains all newly sequenced samples only. study_refcenter AMC

Telomerase is a prognostic marker of poor outcome and a therapeutic target in neuroblastoma

Project description:The aim of this study is to determine the clinical relevance of telomerase activation versus ALT as biomarkers in pre-treatment neuroblastoma, and to assess the potential value of telomerase as a therapeutic target. Therefore, the genomic status of TERT and MYCN was assessed in 457 pretreatment neuroblastomas by fluorescence-in-situ-hybridization. ALT was examined in 273/457 tumors by detection of ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies, and TERT expression was determined by 4x44k microarrays in 223 of these. The presence of activated telomerase, i.e., TERT rearrangements, MYCN amplification, or high TERT expression without these alterations, was associated with poorest overall survival, and was an independent prognostic marker in multivariable analyses.

Brd4, H3K27Ac, and H3K36me3 binding profiles with or without Dinaciclib in human neuroblastoma CLB-GA cells

Project description:Promoter rearrangement of the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene juxtaposes the coding sequence to strong enhancer elements, leading to TERT overexpression and poor prognosis. TERT associated oncogenic signaling in neuroblastoma remains unclear. Gene set enrichment analysis of RNA-seq data from 498 neuroblastoma patients revealed a coordinated activation of oncogenic signaling pathways and differentially overexpressed gene signature in a subgroup of MycN non-amplified neuroblastomas with TERT overexpression. ChIP-seq analysis of human neuroblastoma cell line CLB-GA harboring TERT rearrangement uncovered genome-wide chromatin co-occupancy of Brd4 and H3K27Ac and robust enrichment of H3K36me3 in TERT and multiple TERT-associated genes. We demonstrated a critical regulatory role of Brd4 and cyclin-dependent kinases in the expression and chromatin activation. Inhibition of both with AZD5153 and dinaciclib proved most effective in tumor growth suppression of neuroblastoma cell lines, primary cells, and xenograft. Our study provides a therapeutic strategy utilizing epigenetic targeting of neuroblastoma with TERT overexpression.

Targeting super-enhancer induced gene expression using novel BRD4 inhibitor OTX015 in preclinical models of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma

Project description:Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) functions as an epigenetic reader and binds to so-called super-enhancer regions of driving oncogenes such as MYC in cancer. We investigated the possibility to target super-enhancer regulated genes in neuroblastoma and in MYCN amplified disease in particular. We used OTX015, the first small-molecule BRD4 inhibitor to enter clinical phase I/II trials in adults, to test the feasibility to specifically target super-enhancer regulated gene-expression in neuroblastoma. BRD4 inhibition lead to significant transcriptional down-regulation of genes that were associated with super-enhancers, supporting the notion that BRD4 preferentially acts at these chromatin sites. BRD4 inhibition not only attenuated MYCN transcription but most significantly affected MYCN-regulated transcriptional programs.

A mechanistic classification of clinical phenotypes in neuroblastoma (telomere maintenance cohort)

Project description:Our study proposes a precise mechanistic classification of clinical neuroblastoma phenotypes that is based on telomere maintenance mechanisms and RAS or p53 pathway mutations. A crucial factor in telomere maintenance is overexpression of TERT. We therefore determined a TERT expression threshold to identify MYCN-WT TERT-WT tumors whose TERT mRNA levels are comparable to those of tumors bearing MYCN or TERT alterations.

Telomerase activation by genomic rearrangements in high-risk neuroblastoma

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a malignant pediatric tumor of the sympathetic nervous system1. Roughly half of these tumors regress spontaneously or are cured by limited therapy. By contrast, high-risk neuroblastomas have an unfavorable clinical course despite intensive multimodal treatment, and their molecular basis has remained largely elusive2-4. We have performed whole-genome sequencing of 56 neuroblastomas (high-risk, n=39; low-risk, n=17) and discovered recurrent genomic rearrangements affecting a chromosomal region (5p15.22) proximal of the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (TERT). These rearrangements occurred only in high-risk neuroblastomas (12/39, 31%) in mutually exclusive fashion with MYCN amplifications and ATRX mutations, which are known genetic events in this tumor type1,2,5. In an extended case series (n=217), TERT rearrangements defined a subgroup of high-risk tumors with particularly poor outcome. Despite the large diversity of these rearrangements, they all induced massive transcriptional upregulation of TERT. In the remaining high-risk tumors, TERT expression was also elevated in MYCN-amplified tumors, whereas alternative lengthening of telomeres was present in neuroblastomas without TERT or MYCN alterations, suggesting that telomere lengthening represents a central mechanism defining this subtype. The 5p15.22 rearrangements juxtapose the TERT coding sequence to strong enhancer elements, resulting in massive chromatin remodeling and DNA methylation of the affected region. Supporting a functional role of TERT, neuroblastoma cells bearing rearrangements or amplified MYCN exhibited both upregulated TERT expression and enzymatic telomerase activity. In summary, our findings show that remodeling of the genomic context abrogates transcriptional silencing of TERT in high-risk neuroblastoma and places telomerase activation in the center of transformation in a large fraction of these tumors.
