The effect of STAG2 loss in Ewing sarcoma [RNA-Seq]


ABSTRACT: Ewing sarcoma is an aggressive malignancy characterized by oncogenic rearrangements of the EWS gene with an ETS-family transcription factor, most commonly FLI. Recent comprehensive next-generation sequencing efforts have revealed few other highly recurrent mutations in this disease apart from loss-of-function mutations in STAG2 which occur in 15-20% of tumors. STAG2 is a member of the cohesin complex, which regulates sister chromatid alignment during mitosis and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. While some studies suggest that loss of STAG2 is associated with the development of aneuploidy, this is not the case in Ewing sarcoma. To investigate whether STAG2 loss effects epigenetic regulation of gene expression in Ewing sarcoma, we developed isogenic Ewing sarcoma cell lines with STAG2 knockout. We found that Ewing sarcoma cells engineered for loss of STAG2 maintain an intact cohesion complex that alternately incorporates STAG1.
