Project description:Purpose: More than 90% of children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) die within 2 years of diagnosis. There is a dire need to identify therapeutic targets, however lack of patient material for research has limited progress. We evaluated a large cohort of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) to identify recurrent genomic abnormalities and gene expression signatures underlying DIPG. Patients and Methods: We used single nucleotide polymorphism arrays to evaluate genomic copy number imbalances in 43 DIPGs from 40 patients and in 8 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas. Gene expression arrays were used to evaluate expression signatures from 27 DIPGs, 6 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas and 66 low-grade gliomas arising outside the brainstem. Results: Frequencies of specific large-scale and focal imbalances varied significantly between DIPGs and pediatric glioblastomas outside the brainstem. Focal amplifications of genes within the receptor tyrosine kinase-Ras-PI3-kinase signaling pathway were found in 47% of DIPG, with PDGFRA and MET showing the highest frequency. 30% of DIPG contained focal amplifications of cell-cycle regulatory genes controlling RB phosphorylation, and 21% had concurrent amplification of genes from both pathways. Some tumors showed heterogeneity in amplification patterns. DIPGs showed distinct gene expression signatures relating to developmental processes compared to pediatric glioblastomas arising outside the brainstem, while expression signatures of low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas were similar to low-grade gliomas outside the brainstem. Copy number analaysis: 43 DIPG samples, 8 Low Grade Gliomas using SNP6.0. Available matched normals are also profiled with SNP6.0. Expression analysis: 29 DIPG samples, 6 Low grade samples Please contact Suzanne Baker at Suzanne.Baker@stjude.org for CEL files and genotype calls.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are lethal pediatric brain tumors with limited therapeutic options. Frequently harboring H3K27M mutations, these tumors are resistant to Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) in clinical trials for yet unclear reasons. Given this, there is a critical need for exploring the reasons of insufficient clinical manifestations of HDACi and identifying effective combinatorial therapeutic strategy for the treatment of DIPG. To explore the possibility of combining HDACi with EC-8042, an analog of Mithramycin that blocks the DNA binding of SP/KLF factors, We performed RNA-seq in SU-DIPG-IV and SU-DIPG-XVII cells after treated with DMSO, vorinostat and combination vorinostat with EC-8042. And revealed that HDACi treatment amplifies the expression of hypoxia-responsive genes and promotes tumor invasiveness, which is efficiently counteracted by EC8042. And EC-8042 in combination with HDACi synergistically represses the expression of cell cycle-associated genes and therefore suppresses H3K27M-DIPG cell proliferation, inhibiting tumor progression in orthotopic xenograft models. Transcriptomic analysis further supports that the combination treatment drives transcriptional programs correlating with favorable prognosis in DIPG patients. Therefore, our regulome profiling in H3K27M-DIPGs has provided mechanistic insights into HDACi resistance and a proof-of-concept for novel targeting therapeutics.

And discovered that EC-8042 reverses the activated transcriptional programs caused by HDACi.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare pediatric brain tumor with a median survival of 10-15 months. Histone H3 is mutated in 80% of DIPGs, dictating tumor location, onset, and outcome. Therapeutic resistance remains a major obstacle to preventing tumor recurrence and is in part driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which exhibit self-renewal properties and tumorigenic potential. In previous studies, we have identified these proliferative and tumorigenic features in aldehyde dehydrogenase positive (ALDH+) CSCs in H3K27M mutant DIPG. We hypothesize that ALDH-mediated cancer stemness and resistance may in part be driven by H3K27M. Histone H3 K27 acetylation was assayed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq).

Given this, there is a critical need for exploring the reasons of insufficient clinical manifestations of HDACi and identifying effective combinatorial therapeutic strategy for the treatment of DIPG. Using ATAC-seq, we identified that HDACi cause heightened accessibility, and the HDACi-opened chromatin regions are highly enriched for SP/KLF motifs. To explore the possibility of combining HDACi with EC-8042, an analog of Mithramycin that blocks the DNA binding of SP/KLF factors，We performed ATAC-seq in SU-DIPG-XVII cells after treated with DMSO, vorinostat and combination vorinostat with EC-8042. And discovered that EC-8042 reverses the gained accessibility caused by HDACi.

We hypothesize that ALDH-mediated cancer stemness and resistance may in part be driven by H3K27M. ALDH1A3 expression was reduced in CRISPR-edited DIPG cells (SU-DIPG-XIII) where the H3K27M mutation had been removed (H3K27M-KO). Furthermore, these gained differentiation characteristics and lost their neurosphere-forming potential. The parental (H3K27M) and H3K27M-KO cells were also subjected to ionizing radiation to identify genes responsible for radioresistance in histone-mutated DIPG radioresistance. Nascent transcriptomes were obtained from these cells using bromouridine labeling and capture followed by sequencing (Bru-seq).

Project description:Lysine 27 to methionine mutation (H3K27M) of the H3F3A gene, which encodes the variant histone H3.3, is found in the majority of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPGs). DIPGs are the most aggressive form of pediatric gliomas and have a median survival of <1 year from diagnosis. As H3K27M mutation is necessary but not sufficient to cause DIPGs, it is accompanied by several other mutations in tumors. However, the mechanisms by which H3K27M increases vulnerability to DIPG tumorigenesis, while expected to involve altered epigenetic regulation is unclear. Thus, in this work we built pairs of isogenic human embryonic stem cell lines with versus without this mutation, in the absence of other DIPG contributory mutations, to investigate mechanisms by which H3K27M mutation could affect cellular proliferation and differentiation and how these were related to alterations in the transcriptome, H3K27me3, and the DNA methylome. We found that H3K27M increased stem cell proliferation and interfered with differentiation, resulting in loss of most H3K27me3 and resulting in anomalous onset of expression of developmental genes during multilineage or directed differentiation. This work suggests mechanisms by which H3K27M mutation influences stem cell properties, contributing to DIPG tumorigenesis.
