HNF1A is a Novel Oncogene and Central Regulator of Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells [Bru-seq]

ABSTRACT: The biological properties of pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs) remain incompletely defined and the central regulators are unknown. By bioinformatic analysis of a PCSC-enriched gene signature, we identified the transcription factor HNF1A as a putative central regulator of PCSC function. Levels of HNF1A and its target genes were found to be elevated in PCSCs and tumorspheres, and depletion of HNF1A resulted in growth inhibition, apoptosis, impaired tumorsphere formation, PCSC depletion, and downregulation of OCT4 expression. Conversely, HNF1A overexpression increased PCSC numbers and tumorsphere formation in pancreatic cancer cells and drove PDA cell growth. Importantly, depletion of HNF1A in primary tumor xenografts impaired tumor growth and depleted PCSCs in vivo. Finally, we established an HNF1A-dependent gene signature in PDA cells that significantly correlated with reduced survivability in patients. These findings identify HNF1A as a central transcriptional regulator of the PCSC state and novel oncogene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

HNF1A is a Novel Oncogene and Central Regulator of Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells [ChIP-seq]

HNF1A, UTX, H3K27me3 and H3K27ac ChIP-seq in wild-type and UTX- or HNF1A-deficient mouse pancreas

Project description:HNF1A and UTX are putative tumor suppressors in pancreatic cancer. In this study, we have combined mouse genetics, transcriptomics and genome binding studies to link HNF1A and UTX in a molecular mechanism that suppresses pancreatic cancer. In this session, we have profiled UTX, HNF1A, H3K27me3 and H3K27ac in normal and UTX- or HNF1A-deficient mouse pancreas by ChIP-seq experiments. We show that HNF1A recruits UTX to its genomic targets in pancreatic acinar cells, which results in remodeling of the chromatin landscape and activation of a broad transcriptional program of differentiated acinar cells, which in turn indirectly suppresses tumor suppressor pathways.

RNA-seq of wild-type and Utx- or Hnf1a-deficient mouse pancreas

Project description:HNF1A and UTX are putative tumor suppressors in pancreatic cancer. In this study, we have combined mouse genetics, transcriptomics and genome binding studies to link HNF1A and UTX in a molecular mechanism that suppresses pancreatic cancer. In this session, we have determined the transcriptome of HNF1A and UTX in the exocrine pancreas. We show that HNF1A recruits UTX to its genomic targets in pancreatic acinar cells, which results in remodeling of the chromatin landscape and activation of a broad transcriptional program of differentiated acinar cells, which in turn indirectly suppresses tumor suppressor pathways.

HNF1A deficiency impairs β-cell fate, granule maturation and function

Project description:Mutations in HNF1A cause Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young type 3, the second most frequent form of diabetes caused by single gene mutation. We generated human pancreatic stem cell-derived endocrine cells with mutations in HNF1A and show that HNF1A deficiency impairs scβ-cell fate, insulin granule maturation and the secretion of insulin in a glucose responsive manner. Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that HNF1A orchestrates a network of genes involved in glucose metabolism, zinc transport, calcium ion binding and hormone exocytosis. Furthermore, in both patients and stem cell-derived β-cells, HNF1A deficiency altered the stoichiometry of secreted c-peptide to insulin. Sulfonylurea, used in the treatment of these patients, restored both insulin secretion and stoichiometry. Significantly, uncoupling of c-peptide and insulin secretion as described here questions the common practice in using c-peptide as a proxy to evaluate β-cell function. We also demonstrate that correction of the HNF1A locus restores function, providing a path to cell therapy.

Human Pancreatic Islets Expressing HNF1A Variant Have Defective β cell Transcriptional Regulatory Networks

Project description:Using an integrated approach to characterize the pancreatic tissue and isolated islets from a 33-year-old with 17 years of type 1 diabetes (T1D), we found donor islets contained β cells without insulitis and lacked glucose-stimulated insulin secretion despite a normal insulin response to cAMP-evoked stimulation. With these unexpected findings for T1D, we sequenced the donor DNA and found a pathogenic heterozygous variant in hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha (HNF1A). In one of the first studies of human pancreatic islets with a disease-causing HNF1A variant associated with the most common form of monogenic diabetes, we found that HNF1A dysfunction leads to insulin-insufficient diabetes reminiscent of T1D by impacting the regulatory processes critical for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and suggest a rationale for a therapeutic alternative to current treatment.

The GLI-code controls HNF1A levels during in-vitro foregut differentiation

Project description:Differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic islet endocrine cells is a complex process, involving the stepwise modulation of key developmental pathways, such as the Hedgehog signaling inhibition during early differentiation stages. In tandem with this active inhibition, key transcription factors for the islet endocrine cell fate, such as HNF1A, show specific changes in their expression patterns. Here we designed a forthright pilot study aimed at investigating the potential interconnection between HH-signaling inhibition and the increase in the HNF1A expression during early regeneration, by inducing changes in the GLI code. This unveiled a link between the two, where GLI3-R mediated Hedgehog target genes inhibition is apparently required for HNF1A efficient expression.
