Project description:RNA-sequencing has been used to obtain and observe transcriptome-wide differences that occur in two parasspeckle-deficient, MYCN-amplified/model high-risk and one paraspeckle-abundant, non-MYCN-amplified/low-risk cell lines, to decipher the role of paraspeckles in this cancer type.

Project description:MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma leads to aberrant expression of MYCN oncoprotein, which binds active genes promoting transcriptional amplification. Yet how MYCN coordinates transcription elongation to meet productive transcriptional amplification and which elongation machinery represents MYCN-driven vulnerability remain to be identified. We conducted a targeted screen of transcription elongation factors and identified the super elongation complex (SEC) as a unique vulnerability in MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas. MYCN directly binds EAF1 and recruits SEC to enhance processive transcription elongation. Depletion of EAF1 or AFF1/AFF4, another core subunit of SEC, leads to a global reduction in transcription elongation and elicits selective apoptosis of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells. A combination screen reveals SEC inhibition synergistically potentiates the therapeutic efficacies of FDA-approved BCL2 antagonist ABT-199, in part due to suppression of MCL1 expression, both in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells and in patient-derived xenografts. These findings identify disruption of the MYCN-SEC regulatory axis as a promising therapeutic strategy in neuroblastoma.

Project description:The long non-coding RNA NEAT1 (nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1) nucleates the formation of paraspeckles, which constitute a type of nuclear body that has multiple roles in gene expression. How the NEAT1 gene itself is regulated and how paraspeckles communicate with other cell compartments remains poorly understood. Here we identify regulators of NEAT1 transcription using an endogenous NEAT1 promoter-driven EGFP reporter in human cells coupled with genome-wide RNAi screens. In addition to transcription factors and chromatin modulators, the screens unexpectedly yielded gene candidates involved in mitochondrial functions as essential regulators of NEAT1 expression and paraspeckle formation. Mitochondrial defects altered NEAT1 transcription via ATF2 and subsequently uncoupled 3’ end processing of NEAT1_1 from its long isoform to favour NEAT1_2 production, which is key for generating elongated paraspeckles that have different features from the regular, globular bodies. Correspondingly, NEAT1 depletion has profound effects on mitochondrial dynamics and function by altering sequestration of mRNAs of mitochondrial genes enriched in paraspeckles. Overall, our data provided a rich resource for understanding NEAT1 and paraspeckle regulation, and revealed an unexpected crosstalk between cytoplasmic organelles and nuclear bodies.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is the third most common pediatric cancer and is responsible for approximately 15% of all childhood cancer deaths (Maris & Matthay, 1999). In our analysis, we found that poor patient survival with increasing mRNA expression level of AURKA and AURKB in Mycn-amplified neuroblastoma. In the light of this evidence, we were able to find possibilities of existing inhibitors for therapy. According to the following experiments, we found that tozasertib, a pan-Aurora kinase inhibitor, has high therapeutic potential in neuroblastoma treatment. First, we performed in vitro experiments to reveal that tozasertib suppressed cell proliferation in multiple Mycn-amplified neuroblastoma cell lines. Next, we evaluated ex vivo not only in Mycn-amplified neuroblastoma xenograft mouse model but also TH-Mycn transgenic mouse model. The results showed that tozasertib significantly inhibited the tumor growth and prolonged the survival probability in both animal models. Finally, we explored the mechanism of tozasertib-treated tissues in two animal models by iTRAQ proteomic.

Project description:Here we sought metabolic alterations specifically associated with amplified MYCN as nodes to indirectly target the MYCN oncogene. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based proteomics identified 7 proteins consistently correlated with MYCN in proteomes from 49 neuroblastoma biopsies and 13 cell lines. Among these were phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo serine synthesis. MYCN associated with two regions in the PHGDH promoter, supporting transcriptional PHGDH regulation by MYCN. Pulsed stable isotope-resolved metabolomics utilizing 13C-glucose labeling demonstrated higher de novo serine synthesis in MYCN-amplified cells compared to cells with diploid MYCN. An independence of MYCN-amplified cells from exogenous serine and glycine was demonstrated by serine and glycine starvation, which attenuated nucleotide pools and proliferation only in cells with diploid MYCN but did not diminish these endpoints in MYCN-amplified cells. Proliferation was attenuated in MYCN-amplified cells by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated PHGDH knockout or treatment with PHGDH small molecule inhibitors without affecting cell viability. PHGDH inhibitors administered as single-agent therapy to NMRI-Foxn1nu/nu mice harboring patient-derived MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma xenografts slowed tumor growth. However, combining a PHGDH inhibitor with the standard-of-care chemotherapy drug, cisplatin, revealed antagonism of chemotherapy efficacy in vivo. Emergence of chemotherapy resistance was confirmed in the genetic PHGDH knockout model in vitro. Altogether, PHDGH knockout and inhibition by small molecules consistently slows proliferation, but stops short of killing the cells, which then establish resistance to classical chemotherapy. Although PHGDH inhibition with small molecules has produced encouraging results in other preclinical cancer models, this approach must be considered with caution in patients with neuroblastoma.

Project description:<p>Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in children. It represents 8% to 10% of all childhood cancers. Stage 4 Neuroblastoma is characterized by its clinical heterogeneous outcome. The special category, stage 4S tumors (2-5% of all NB) are chemo-sensitive, and the patients show spontaneous regression. On the other hand, MYCN amplification (25-30% of all NB) is associated with poor outcome of neuroblastoma, thus we further categorize stage 4 neuroblastoma into MYCN non-amplified and MYCN amplified group. Here we use transcriptome sequencing to characterize the transcriptome in 29 stage 4 Neuroblastoma samples.</p>

Project description:The aims of this study are to compare transcripts that are differentially expressed in the MYCN amplified compare to the MYCN non-amplified neuroblastoma cell lines, in particular, long non-coding RNAs. Methods: Ribosomal depleted RNAs from six human neuroblastoma cell lines were subjected to deep sequencing, using Illumina Hiseq. Results: We identified 459 transcripts are differentially expressed betweeen the MYCN amplified and the MYCN non-amplified cell lines. Conclusions: We have identified a novel long noncoding RNA lncNB1 that is highly expressed in the MYCN amplified compared to the MYCN non-amplified cell lines.

Project description:The MYCN locus is amplified in about half of high-risk neuroblastoma tumors. To identify genomic loci occupied by MYCN protein in the MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell lines NGP, Kelly and NB-1643, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with Next-Generation Sequencing (ChIP-seq) using an anti-MYCN antibody.

Project description:NEAT1 is one of the most studied lncRNAs, in part because its silencing in mice causes defects in mammary gland development and corpus luteum formation and protects them from skin cancer development. Moreover, depleting NEAT1 in established cancer cell lines reduces growth and sensitizes cells to DNA damaging agents. However, NEAT1 produces two isoforms and because the short isoform, NEAT1_1, completely overlaps the 5' part of the long NEAT1_2 isoform, the respective contributions of each of the isoforms to these phenotypes has remained unclear. Whereas NEAT1_1 is highly expressed in most tissues, NEAT1_2 is the central architectural component of paraspeckles, which are nuclear bodies that assemble in specific tissues and cells exposed to various forms of stress. Using dual RNA-FISH to detect both NEAT1_1 outside of paraspeckles and NEAT1_2/NEAT1 inside this nuclear body, we report herein that NEAT1_1 levels are dynamically regulated during the cell cycle and targeted for degradation by the nuclear RNA exosome. Unexpectedly, however, cancer cells engineered to lack NEAT1_1, but not NEAT1_2, do not exhibit cell cycle defects. Moreover, Neat1_1-specific knockout mice do not exhibit the phenotypes observed in Neat1-deficient mice. We propose that NEAT1 functions are mainly, if not exclusively, attributable to NEAT1_2 and, by extension, to paraspeckles.
