Miswired enhancer logic drives translocation positive rhabdomyosarcoma

ABSTRACT: Core regularity transcription factors (CR TFs) define cell identity and lineage through an exquisitely precise and logical order during embryogenesis and development. These CR TFs regulated one another in three-dimensional space via distal enhancers that serve as logic gates embedded in their TF recognition sequences. Aberrant chromatin organization resulting in miswired circuitry of enhancer logic is a newly recognized feature in many cancers. Here, we report that PAX3-FOXO1 expression is driven by a translocated FOXO1 distal super enhancer (SE). ChIP-seq in tumors bearing rare PAX translocations implicate enhancer miswiring is a pervasive feature across all FP-RMS tumors. Therefore, our data reveal a mechanism of a translocated hijacked enhancer which disrupts the normal CR TF logic during skeletal muscle development (PAX3 to MYOD to MYOG), replacing it with an infinite loop logic that makes rhabdomyosarcoma cells unable to exit the undifferentiated proliferating stage.

Targeting KDM4 for treating PAX3-FOXO1-driven alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Chimeric transcription factors drive lineage-specific oncogenesis but are notoriously difficult to target. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive childhood soft tissue sarcoma transformed by the pathognomonic PAX3–FOXO1 fusion protein, which governs a core regulatory circuitry transcription factor (CRC TF) network. Here we show that the histone lysine demethylase KDM4B is a therapeutic vulnerability for PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS. Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of KDM4B significantly delays tumor growth by disrupting the expression of CRC TFs caused by epigenetic alterations of PAX3–FOXO1-governed super enhancers. Combining KDM4B inhibition with cytotoxic chemotherapy leads to significant tumor regression in preclinical PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS models. In summary, we have identified a targetable mechanism required for maintenance of PAX3-FOXO1-related CRC TF network, which may translate to a novel therapeutic approach for fusion-positive RMS.

Regulatory landscape fusion in rhabdomyosarcoma by interactions between the PAX3 promoter and FOXO1 regulatory elements

Project description:Results: Using a combination of 4C-seq datasets, we were able to model the three-dimensional organisation of the translocated chromosome in a PAX3:FOXO1 fusion-positive alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. We show that PAX3 and FOXO1 regulatory landscapes fuse into a novel TAD, allowing the PAX3 promoter to interact ectopically with FOXO1 sequences with potential enhancer function. The borders of this novel TAD correspond to the original 5'- and 3'- borders of the PAX3 and FOXO1 TADs, respectively, suggesting that TAD organisation precedes the formation of regulatory long-range interactions. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the chromosomal translocation that leads to ARMS development generates a novel TAD that favours ectopic PAX3:FOXO1 oncogene activation in non-PAX3 territories, which may be an essential step in the tumorigenic process, as expression in a particular cell type, the often elusive cell-of-origin, may be required for disease development.

Targeting KDM4B to disrupt the core regulatory transcription network governed by PAX3-FOXO1 in high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Chimeric transcription factors drive lineage-specific oncogenesis but are notoriously difficult to target. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive childhood soft tissue sarcoma, mainly driven by the pathognomonic PAX3–FOXO1, which governs a core regulatory circuitry transcription factor (CRC TF) network. Here we show that the histone lysine demethylase KDM4B is a therapeutic vulnerability to the PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS. Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of KDM4B significantly delays tumor growth, disrupting the expression of CRC TFs in accordance with the alterations of PAX3–FOXO1-determining super enhancers. Combination of KDM4B inhibitor with cytotoxic chemotherapy leads to significant tumor regression in preclinical PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS models. In summary, we have identified a targetable epigenetic modifier required for the functions of PAX3–FOXO1, which may translate to a novel therapeutic approach for the high-risk RMS.

Transcription factor trapping by RNA in gene regulatory elements (GRO-Seq)

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) bind specific sequences in promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements in order to regulate gene transcription. RNA is transcribed from both promoter-proximal and distal DNA elements, and some DNA-binding TFs have also been shown to bind RNA. These obsevations led us to postulate that RNA transcribed from regulatory elements contributes to stable TF occupancy at these regulatory elements. We show here that the ubiquitously expressed TF YY1 binds to both proximal and distal regulatory elements and to the RNA species associated with these elements near active genes in embryonic stem cells. Inhibition of transcription from these elements reduces YY1 occupancy. In contrast, tethering of RNA species near YY1 DNA binding sites enhances YY1 occupancy. We propose that RNA acts as trap to maintain certain TFs at active enhancer and promoter-proximal regulatory elements. Thus, transcriptional control generally involves a positive feedback loop, where YY1 and other TFs stimulate local transcription, and newly transcribed nascent RNA reinforces local TF occupancy. This model helps explain why TFs occupy only the small fraction of their consensus motifs in the mammalian genome where transcription is detected.
