Project description:The lysine-to-methionine mutation at residue 27 of histone H3 (H3K27M) is a driving mutation in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a highly aggressive form of pediatric brain tumor with no effective treatment and little chance of survival. H3K27M reshapes the epigenome through a global inhibition of PRC2 catalytic activity, displacement of methylation at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me2/3), and thus promoting oncogenesis of DIPG. As a consequence, a histone modification H3K36me2, antagonistic to H3K27me2/3, is aberrantly elevated. Here, we investigate the role of H3K36me2 in H3K27M-DIPG by tackling its upstream catalyzing enzymes (writers) and downstream binding factors (readers). We determine that NSD1 and NSD2 are the key writers for H3K36me2. Loss of NSD1/2 in H3K27M-DIPG impedes cellular proliferation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo, and disrupts tumor-promoting gene expression programs. Further, we demonstrate that LEDGF and HDGF2 are the main readers that mediate the pro-tumorigenic effects downstream of NSD1/2-H3K36me2. Treatment with a chemically modified peptide mimicking endogenous H3K36me2 dislodges LEDGF/HDGF2 from chromatin and specifically inhibits the proliferation of H3K27M-DIPG. Together, our results indicate a functional pathway of NSD1/2-H3K36me2-LEDGF/HDGF2 as an acquired dependency in H3K27M-DIPG and suggest a possibility to target this pathway for therapeutic interventions.

Project description:<p>Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a universally fatal childhood cancer. Here, we performed a chemical screen in patient-derived DIPG cell cultures along with RNAseq expression analysis and integrated computational modeling to identify potentially effective therapeutic strategies. Panobinostat, among the more promising agents identified, demonstrated efficacy in pontine orthotopic xenograft models of both H3K27M and histone WT DIPG. These data suggest the potential utility of specific drug combinations and provides evidence of in vivo treatment efficacy of the multi-histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat. We are depositing to dbGaP deep sequencing whole exome data for 22 patient tumor samples and 13 matched normals, along with RNAseq data for 12 patient tumor samples and 6 normal pediatric brain tissue samples. In addition, we are depositing 22 RNAseq samples from DIPG cell lines before and after panobinostat treatment.</p>

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 ChIP-seq of H3K27ac in SU-DIPG-XVII cells after treated with DMSO, vorinostat and combination vorinostat with EC-8042. And discovered that EC-8042 reverses the activated transcriptional programs caused by HDACi.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a universally fatal malignancy of the childhood central nervous system, with a median overall survival of 9-11 months. We have previously shown that primary DIPG tissue contains numerous tumor-associated macrophages, and substantial work has demonstrated a significant pathological role for adult glioma-associated macrophages. However, work over the past decade has highlighted many molecular and genomic differences between pediatric and adult glioblastomas (GBM). Thus, we directly compared inflammatory characteristics of DIPG and adult GBM. We found that the leukocyte (CD45+) compartment in primary DIPG tissue samples is predominantly composed of CD11b+ macrophages, with very few CD3+ T-lymphocytes. In contrast, T-lymphocytes are more abundant in adult GBM tissue samples. RNA sequencing of macrophages isolated from primary tumor samples revealed that DIPG- and adult GBM-associated macrophages both express gene programs related to ECM remodeling and angiogenesis, but DIPG-associated macrophages express substantially fewer inflammatory factors than their adult GBM counterparts. Examining the secretome of glioma cells, we found that patient-derived DIPG cell cultures secrete markedly fewer cytokines and chemokines than patient-derived adult GBM cultures. Concordantly, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data indicates low to absent expression of chemokines and cytokines in DIPG. Together, these observations suggest that the inflammatory milieu of the DIPG tumor microenvironment is fundamentally different than adult GBM. The low intrinsic inflammatory signature of DIPG cells may contribute to the lack of lymphocytes and non-inflammatory phenotype of DIPG-associated microglia/macrophages. Understanding the glioma subtype-specific inflammatory milieu may inform the design and application of immunotherapy-based treatments.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a fatal malignancy of the childhood pons characterized by a unique lysine-to-methionine substitution in histone-3 at lysine 27 (H3K27M). We show here that the specific Polycomb targets disrupted by H3K27M and resultant oncogenic state is dependent on both the variant of histone-3 and the cell- context in which the mutation occurs. Through primary DIPG tumor characterization and isogenic expression, we show that the same H3K27M mutation displays distinct modes of oncogenic reprogramming and establishes distinct enhancer architecture depending on whether it occurs in genes encoding H3.3 or H3.1. By comparison to non-malignant pediatric pontine tissue, we create a molecular map for DIPG, identifying and functionally validating both shared and subgroup-specific pathophysiology. Directly comparing the earliest events of H3K27M tumor initiation in putative cells-of-origin demonstrates that DIPG arises only from an oligodendrocyte precursor cell state.

Project description:Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a rare and highly aggressive pediatric tumor. The average survival time after diagnosis is less than one year. Currently, there are no effective treatments. Characteristic of DIPG is a mutation in histone H3 which leads to a substitution of Lysine 27 to Methionine (H3K27M) which deregulates Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), including enzymatic activity of EZH2. Previous studies have shown that inhibition of EZH2 by chemical agents decreases DIPG cell proliferation and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. My thesis project aims to confirm that EZH2 could be a therapeutic target using chemical EZH2 inhibitors, small interfering RNAs and a CRISPR/Cas9 approach in a series of DIPG tumor cell lines and to determine underlying molecular mechanisms of action.

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. 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.
