Liaison between SNAI2 and MYOD enhances oncogenesis and suppresses differentiation in Fusion-Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma

ABSTRACT: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric malignancy of mesenchymal origin. Fusion Negative-RMS (FN-RMS) tumors are associated with RAS-pathway activation. RMS tumors express pro-differentiation myogenic transcription factors MYOD and MYOG, yet why they are unable to differentiate is poorly understood. Here we show that SNAI2 is highly expressed in FN-RMS, is regulated by MYOD and blocks myogenic differentiation promoting growth. Molecularly, SNAI2 preferentially binds E-Box-associated enhancer elements and represses expression by dampening enhancer function. SNAI2 inhibits MYOD at a subset of myogenic enhancers associated with terminal differentiation. Functional dissection demonstrates SNAI2 suppresses a MYOG, MEF2 and CDKN1A differentiation program. SNAI2 knockdown transcriptionally mimics a chemical blockade of the mutant RAS signal in FN-RMS, providing new insight connecting the genetic and epigenetic causes of this disease.

A MYOD-SKP2 axis boosts tumorigenesis in fusion negative rhabdomyosarcoma by preventing differentiation through p57Kip2 targeting [RNA-seq]

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric mesenchymal-derived malignancy encompassing Fusion Positive (FP)-RMS expressing PAX3/7-FOXO1 and Fusion Negative (FN)-RMS often mutated in the RAS pathway. RMS expresses the master myogenic transcription factor MYOD that, paradoxically, is unable to support differentiation while essential for tumor cell survival. We identify here SKP2, an oncogenic E3-ubiquitin ligase, as a critical driver of tumorigenesis in FN-RMS. SKP2 is overexpressed in RMS at the highest levels among several adult and pediatric cancers and its expression is maintained by MYOD through an intronic enhancer within the gene. In FN-RMS SKP2 promotes cell cycle progression and prevents differentiation directly targeting p27Kip1 and p57Kip2, respectively, unlocking a transcriptional myogenic program, partly MYOD-dependent, resulting in de novo expression of terminal muscle differentiation markers. SKP2 depletion strongly affects stemness and tumorigenic features in vitro and prevents in vivo tumor growth. The in vitro effects are mirrored by the SKP2 inhibitor SMIP004. Moreover, the investigational NEDDylation inhibitor MLN4924 hampers SKP2 functions restraining FN-RMS cell survival and tumor growth. Our results uncover a MYOD-SKP2 axis crucial for the crosstalk between transcriptional and post-translational mechanisms that contribute to FN-RMS tumorigenesis and broaden the understanding of MYOD function. Furthermore, they suggest inhibition of NEDDylation as a potential therapeutic approach in this tumor.

TWIST2-Mediated Chromatin Remodeling Promotes Fusion-Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma [RNA-seq Xenograft]

Project description:Sarcomas are derailed in pathways that specify mesenchymal lineages during embryogenesis, causing tumor cells to stall at early stages of differentiation. Among them, rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue sarcoma of skeletal muscle origin. A key feature of RMS is their inability to terminally differentiate despite the high expression of master myogenic regulator MYOD. The bHLH transcription factor TWIST2, which governs mesenchymal stem cell identity and restricts myogenesis, is overexpressed in patient fusion-negative RMS (FN-RMS) tumors. We show that knockdown of TWIST2 enables FN-RMS cells to exit the cell cycle and undergo myogenic differentiation, thereby reducing the growth of FN-RMS xenograft tumors. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that most TWIST2-mediated gene regulation occurs independent of changes in MYOD binding in FN-RMS cells. Instead, TWIST2 controls the deposition of H3K27 acetylation at distal enhancers by interacting with the chromatin remodelers, SMARCA4 and CHD3, to activate growth-related and repress myogenesis-related TWIST2 target genes. Our findings provide new insights into the role of TWIST2 in maintaining an undifferentiated and tumorigenic state of FN-RMS and highlight the clinical potential of reversing the TWIST2-regulated phenotype.

SNAIL is a key regulator of rhabdomyosarcoma progression and myogenic differentiation

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a frequent non-epithelial tumor of soft tissue that originates from a myogenic differentiation defect. Expression of SNAIL transcription factor is elevated in the alveolar subtype of RMS, characterized by a low myogenic differentiation status and high aggressiveness. SNAIL affects RMS metastasis by reorganization of actin cytoskeleton, regulation of ezrin expression and chemotaxis to HGF and SDF-1. The differentiation of human RMS diminishes SNAIL level. SNAIL silencing completely abolishes the growth of human RMS xenotransplants. SNAIL inhibits myogenic differentiation of RMS by binding to the MYF5 promoter, suppressing its expression, displacing MYOD from canonical to alternative E-box sequences and regulating myomiRs expression. SNAIL silencing allows the re-expression of MYF5 and canonical MYOD binding, promoting RMS cell myogenic differentiation. These novel results open potential avenues for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies based on SNAIL silencing.

Transcription profiling of mouse embryonic fibroblasts isolated from Myod-/-Myf-/- mice were tranduced with either MDER or MDER+Myog, MDER was activated by the addition of beta-estradiol and samples collected at multiple time points

Project description:We used a combination of genome-wide and promoter-specific DNA binding and expression analyses to assess the functional roles of Myod and Myog in regulating the program of skeletal muscle gene expression. Our findings indicate that Myod and Myog have distinct regulatory roles at a similar set of target genes. At genes expressed throughout the program of myogenic differentiation, Myod can bind and recruit histone acetyltransferases. At early targets, Myod is sufficient for near full expression; whereas, at late expressed genes Myod initiates regional histone modification but is not sufficient for gene expression. At these late genes, Myog does not bind efficiently without Myod, however, transcriptional activation requires the combined activity of Myod and Myog. Therefore, the role of Myog in mediating terminal differentiation is, in part, to enhance expression of a subset of genes previously initiated by Myod. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts isolated from Myod-/-Myf-/- mice were tranduced with either MDER or MDER+Myog. MDER was activated by the addition of beta-estradiol. Cells were induced to differentiate for various times, and triplate samples were collected from the indicated time points.

RNA-seq data of si-Snai1, si-Snai2, si-Snai1/2 and si-Scrambled treated mouse primary myoblasts

Project description:In skeletal myogenesis, the transcription factor MyoD, activates distinct transcriptional programs in progenitors compared to terminally differentiated cells. Using ChIP-seq and gene expression analyses, we show that in primary myoblasts, Snai1/2-HDAC1/2 repressive complex bind and exclude MyoD from its targets. Notably, Snail binds E-box motifs that are G/C-rich in their central dinucleotides, and such sites are almost exclusively associated with genes expressed during differentiation. By contrast, Snai1/2 does not bind the A/T-rich E-boxes associated with MyoD targets in myoblasts. Thus, Snai1/2-HDAC1/2 prevents MyoD occupancy on differentiation-specific regulatory elements and the change from Snail1/2- to MyoD-binding often results in enhancer switching during differentiation. Furthermore, we show that a regulatory network involving Myogenic Regulatory Factors (MRFs), Snail/2, miR-30a and miR-206 acts as a molecular switch that controls entry into myogenic differentiation. Together, these results reveal a regulatory paradigm that directs distinct gene expression programs in progenitors versus terminally differentiated cells. In vivo depletion of transcription factor with siRNA followed by whole transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq) to identify target genes.
