The H3.3K27M oncohistone antagonizes reprogramming in Drosophila

ABSTRACT: Development proceeds by the activation of genes by transcription factors and the inactivation of others by chromatin-mediated gene silencing. In some cases development can be reversed or redirected by mis-expression of master regulator transcription factors. This must involve the activation of previously silenced genes, and such developmental aberrations are thought to underlie a variety of cancers. Here, we express the wing-specific Vestigial master regulator to reprogram the developing eye, and test the role of silencing in reprogramming using an H3.3K27M oncohistone mutation that dominantly inhibits histone H3K27 trimethylation. We find that expression of the oncohistone blocks eye-to-wing reprogramming. CUT&Tag chromatin profiling of mutant tissues shows that H3K27me3 domains are globally reduced with oncohistone expression, suggesting that previous developmental programs must be silenced for effective transformation. Strikingly, mis-expressed Vg and H3.3K27M synergize to stimulate overgrowth of eye tissue, a phenotype that resembles that of mutations in Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 components. Our results imply that growth dysregulation can result from the simple combination of crippled silencing and transcription factor mis-expression, an effect that may explain the origins of oncohistone-bearing cancers.

Expression data from transdetermined Drosophila eye antennal imaginal disc by vestigial and simjang overexpression.

Project description:Drosophila imaginal disc cells exhibit a remarkable ability to switch cell fates under various perturbations, a phenomenon known as transdetermination (TD). The process of cell reprogramming seems to be regulated in stochastic manners. Ectopic expression of the master transcription factor of wing identity, vestigial, in eye progenitor cells induces eye-to-wing TD, but the frequency of the TD is low. We found that the overexpression of simjang gene dramatically enhanced eye-to-wing TD frequency. Gene network controlling this process, however, is largely unclear. We used microarray to detail the global gene network underlying simj-mediated facilitation of eye-to-wing TD.

Tag-seq in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs of D.melanogaster, D.yakuba, and D.virilis; RNA-seq in wild-type and glass mutant D.melanogaster eye-antennal imaginal discs.

Project description:In this study we use Tag-sequencing in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs across Drosophila species to determine a set of conserved eye-specific developmental genes. Next, we perform motif discovery analysis using the tool i-cisTarget, to depict the core gene developmental network underlying compound eye photoreceptor. The Glass position weight matrix appears as the most highly overrepresented motif, thus positioning Glass as a master regulator in compound eye photoreceptor development. Differential gene expression analysis by RNA-seq in D.melanogaster wild-type eye-antennal versus glass mutant [gl 60j] shows that the majority of our predicted Glass targets show strong downregulation in the glass mutant. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE39781: RNA-seq in wild-type and glass mutant eye-antennal discs in Drosophila melanogaster GSE39782: Tag-seq profiling in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs of D. melanogaster, D. yakuba and D. virilis

Inhibition of Histone H3-H4 Chaperone Pathways Rescues Dysfunctional Oncohistone H2B

Project description:Oncohistone mutations are crucial drivers for tumorigenesis, but how a living organism responds to and governs the loss-of-function oncohistone remains unclear. Here, we generated a histone H2B triple knockout (3KO) strain in Caenorhabditis elegans, which decreased the embryonic H2B level, disrupted cell divisions, and caused animal sterility. Our genetic screens identified mutations defective in a histone H3-H4 chaperone UNC-85 as suppressors that recovered H2B 3KO fertility. We found that unc-85 mutations reduced chromatin H3-H4 levels and that inhibiting other H3-H4 chaperones or H3-H4 histones also rescued H2B 3KO sterility. The oncohistone H2BE76K mutation disrupts the H2B-H4 interface and causes nucleosome instability, and we showed that blocking H3-H4 chaperones restored cell division defects in C. elegans or human cells carrying H2BE76K. Thus, our results indicate that reducing chromatin H3-H4 rescues H2B loss and suggest that inhibiting H3-H4 chaperones may be a therapeutic strategy to treat cancers resulting from loss-of-function H2B oncohistone.

Multi-omic analysis of cell-of-origin and epigenomic state in pediatric H3K27M gliomas

Project description:It is not known whether midline pediatric gliomas driven by Histone 3 K27M mutations (oncohistones) or EZHIP expression (oncohistone-mimics) share a common cell-of-origin, or arise from distinct cell types with unique vulnerabilities to PRC2 inhibition and partner alterations. Here, we define the etiological and oncogenic relationship between pediatric midline gliomas characterized by inhibition of K27M and K27M-like oncohistones. We assemble an extensive reference for gliogenesis from the developing mouse and human fetal brain. With bulk and single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics, we profiled a large cohort of primary tumors comprising H3.1K27M and H3.3K27M pontine gliomas, H3.3K27M thalamic gliomas, and EZHIP+ posterior fossa ependymomas. We focus on differences across axes of location (thalamus vs. pons vs. posterior fossa), tumor type (diffuse midline gliomas vs. ependymomas), and oncohistone (H3.1/2K27M vs. H3.3K27M vs. EZHIP). We use tumor molecular features to delineate transcriptional states and cell-of-origin in each entity. Finally, we use culture models in isogenic contexts to interrogate the effect of each oncohistone or mimic.

Tag-seq profiling in eye-antennal and wing imaginal discs of D. melanogaster, D. yakuba and D. virilis

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify a set of eye-specific genes across Drosophila species. Species are used as replicates to remove biological noise and identify a core set of conserved eye-developmental genes. We analyze this conserved core using the motif discovery tool i-cisTarget, and identify master regulators of retinal determination, including the Zinc Finger transcription factor Glass. Six samples were analyzed by Illumina Digital Gene Expression (DGE) using the NlaIII restriction enzyme, namely two different tissues (eye-antennal discs and wing discs) for each of the three species under study.

Local inhibition of PRC2 activity by histone H3.3K27M drives replication defects through misregulation of the JNK pathway [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Substitution of lysine 27 with methionine in histone H3.3 is a recently discovered driver mutation of pediatric high-grade gliomas. Tumor cells carrying the mutation show a dramatic decrease in H3K27me3 levels due to physical inhibition of PRC2 methyltransferase activity. Here we use a C. elegans model to quantify the antagonistic effects of the H3.3K27M oncohistone on H3K27 trimethylation genome wide. We demonstrate that PRC2 is locally both simulated by H3K27me3 and inhibited by the oncohistone in a concentration-dependent manner.

H3.3K27M cooperates with p53 loss and Pdgfra gain in mouse embryonic neural progenitor cells to induce invasive high-grade gliomas [Mouse WES]

Project description:Gain-of-function mutations in histone 3 (H3) variants are found in a large proportion ofpediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) and are often associated with p53 loss and PDGFRA amplification. However, a lack of faithful models has hampered investigation of disease mechanisms and preclinical development. Here, we describe a somatic mouse model of H3.3K27M-driven HGG, which faithfully recapitulates human H3.3K27M pHGG. H3.3K27M and p53 loss are sufficient for neoplastic transformation but only within a specific window of brain development. In this model, H3.3K27M primes the PDGFRA pathway during transformation, and accordingly gain of wild-type PDGFRA decreases latency and increases invasion. Finally, we reveal a previously underappreciated dynamic regulation of H3K27 trimethylation at specific loci. Overall, this experimental model provides key insights into oncohistone-driven pHGG pathogenesis and will enable investigations of future therapies.
