Defining super-enhancers by highly ranked histone H4 multi-acetylation levels identifies transcription factors associated with glioblastoma stem-like properties

ABSTRACT: The bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family consists of acetyllysine-binding proteins involved in many cancers, including glioblastoma multiforme. While the BET family activates transcription through binding to hyperacetylated histone H4 with simultaneous acetylation of K5 and K8 (H4K5acK8ac), so far epigenomic analysis of the BET family has mainly focused on H3K27ac, which is not their binding target. Here, we have examined the epigenomic profiles, including H4K5acK8ac and a BET family protein, BRD4, along with transcriptomics using a BET inhibitor, JQ1, in three human glial cell lines. We found that the expression of genes in which H4K5acK8ac is preferred over H3K27ac at promoters was mostly downregulated upon JQ1 in a glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) line. Knockdown of genes with the H4K5acK8ac-preferred promoters diminished the stemness of GSC. By defining super-enhancers (SEs) ranked by H4K5acK8ac, we found that 43% of the H4K5acK8ac-ranked SE were different from H3K27ac-ranked SE in GSC. CRISPR-Cas9-mediated deletion of the H4K5acK8ac-preferred SEs reduced the expression of associated genes including MYCN and NFIC in GSC and diminished its stemness. These results validate a novel strategy to identify genes involved in the regulation of glioblastoma stemness, through histone H4 hyperacetylation.

Project description:The bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins are known as drug targets in diseases. However, the BET protein association profile to histone H4 hyperacetylation is not well understood and BET inhibition effects have been studied more in the context of BRD4 than BRD2. Here, by integrating chromatin and transcriptome analyses of ChIP-seq and Cap Analysis Gene Expression (CAGE) datasets, we show that di-acetylation at K5 and K8 of histone H4 (H4K5acK8ac) co-localizes with H3K27ac and BRD2 in the majority of active enhancers and promoters, where BRD2 has a stronger association with H4K5acK8ac than H3K27ac. Interestingly, although BET inhibition by JQ1 led to complete reduction of BRD2 binding, only local changes of H4K5acK8ac were observed and surprisingly a remarkable number of BRD2-bound genes including MYC and its target genes were upregulated. Using BRD2-enriched sites and transcriptional activity analysis, we identified candidate transcription factors (TFs) potentially involved in the JQ1 response in BRD2-dependent and independent manner.

CAGE profiling after treatment with JQ1 BET inhibitor in lung cancer cell line.

Project description:The bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins are promising drug targets for cancer and immune diseases. However, BET inhibition effects have been studied more in the context of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) than BRD2, and the BET protein association to histone H4-hyperacetylated chromatin is not understood at the genome-wide level. Here, we report transcription start site (TSS)-resolution integrative analyses of ChIP-seq and transcriptome profiles in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line H23. We show that di-acetylation at K5 and K8 of histone H4 (H4K5acK8ac) co-localizes with H3K27ac and BRD2 in the majority of active enhancers and promoters, where BRD2 has a stronger association with H4K5acK8ac than H3K27ac. Although BET inhibition by JQ1 led to complete reduction of BRD2 binding to chromatin, only local changes of H4K5acK8ac levels were observed, suggesting that recruitment of BRD2 does not influence global histone H4 hyperacetylation levels. This finding supports a model in which recruitment of BET proteins via histone H4 hyperacetylation is predominant over hyperacetylation of histone H4 by BET protein-associated acetyltransferases. In addition, we found a remarkable number of BRD2-bound genes, including MYC and its downstream target genes, were transcriptionally upregulated upon JQ1 treatment. Using BRD2-enriched sites and transcriptional activity analysis, we identified candidate transcription factors potentially involved in the JQ1 response in BRD2-dependent and independent manner.

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and BMP7 regulate glioblastoma stem cells differentiation status

Project description:Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) fate is controlled by environmental cues, among which cytokines play a crucial role. The transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family signaling pathways controls GSCs. On one hand, TGFβ promotes cell proliferation in GBM, it induces the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGFB). Moreover, TGFβ, via its signaling mediators Smad2/3, induces the expression of the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and Sox4, which in turn enhances the expression of the stem cell transcription factor Sox2; this increases the self-renewal capacity of the GSCs and their stemness characteristics, and enhances the GSC tumor-initiating potential. On the other hand, Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are known to promote GSC differentiation towards the astrocytic phenotype. To further understand which genes are regulated by TGFβ and BMP7 in GSCs we performed a microarray in the Affymetrix HTA2 platform in three different glioblastoma cell line, U2987, and two patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, U3031MG and U3034MG, in the presence or absence of 5 ng/ml of TGFβ or 30 ng/ml BMP7 for 24 h, three biological replicates per condition.

Glioblastoma stem cells after treatment with sulconazole.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is a uniformly lethal disease that is driven by GBM stem cells (GSCs). However, methods that selectively eradicate the GSCs remain limited. Here, we employed a chemical biology approach to identify novel compounds and strategies that target GSC proliferation, invasiveness and stemness. We studied the effect of sulconazole (SN) previously reportedly known as an antifungal drug. In GSCs SN inhibited multiple biotin-dependent carboxylases by competing with biotin, an important co-factor for these enzymes. Consequently, there was reduced carbon flux into the cholesterol biosynthesis and TCA cycle pathways, depleting intracellular cholesterol and impairing oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in impaired GSC proliferation. Notably, these metabolic changes were GSC-specific and undetected in SN treated mouse astrocytes. Thus, the pharmacologic inhibition of biotin-dependent carboxylases represents a viable therapy for GBM.

Functional characterization of RNA-binding protein IMP2 in primary Glioma cell lines [array]

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSC) dictate tumor cell heterogeneity in diverse cancer types and arise, in part, from microRNA (miRNA)-dependent alteration of gene expression. The let-7 miRNA family induces differentiation by silencing genes that maintain stemness and is repressed by the RNA-binding proteins LIN28A/B, which preserve stemness in normal embryonic and malignant cells. Here, we observed that LIN28A/B is undetectable in glioma stem cells (GSC) whereas let-7 and, paradoxically, their target genes are highly expressed. Using photoactivatable-ribonucloside-enchanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (PAR-CLIP), we show that insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IMP2) protects let-7 target genes from silencing and provides a mechanistically distinct alternative to LIN28A/B toward both GSC and neural stem cell specification. Our observations define the RNA-binding repertoire of IMP2 and identify a mechanism by which it supports GSC maintenance.

AffymetrixHuman Gene 2.0 ST Array

Project description:Gene expression in glioblastoma cells from patients before treatment. The cells were inhibited or not for FGFR1. Glioblastoma are known to be aggressive and therapy-resistant tumors, due to the presence of glioblastoma stem cells (GSC) inside this heterogeneous tumor. We investigate here the involvement of FGFR1 in glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSLC) radioresistance mechanisms. We first demonstrated that the survival after irradiation was significantly diminished in FGFR1-silenced (FGFR1-) GSLC compared to control GSLC. The transcriptome analysis of GSLCs FGFR1(-) showed that FOX family members are differentially regulated by FGFR1 inhibition, particularly with an upregulation of FOXN3 and a downregulation of FOXM1. GSLC survival after irradiation was significantly increased after FOXN3 silencing and decreased after FOXM1 inhibition, showing opposite effects of FGFR1/FOX family members on cell response to ionizing radiation. Silencing FGFR1 or FOXM1 downregulated genes involved in mesenchymal transition such as GLI2, TWIST1, and ZEB1 in GSC. It also dramatically reduced GSLC migration, strongly suggesting that FGFR1/FOXM1 pathway which regulates GSLC radioresistance. Databases analysis confirmed that the combined expression of FGFR1/FOXM1/MELK/GLI2/ZEB1/TWIST1 is significantly associated with patients overall survival after chemo-radiotherapy treatment. All these results, associated with our previous conduced ones with differentiated cells, clearly established that FGFR1-FOXM1 dependent GSC radioresistance pathway is a central actor of GBM treatment resistance and a key target to inhibit in the aim to increase the sensitivity of GBM to the radiotherapy.

Identifying genes regulated by Kruppel-like factor-9 by RNA-seq in human glioblastoma stem cells.

Project description:Kruppel-like factor-9 (KLF9), a member of the large KLF transcription factor family, has emerged as a regulator of oncogenesis, cell differentiation and neural development; however, the molecular basis for KLF9M-bM-^@M-^Ys diverse contextual functions remains unclear. This study focuses on the functions of KLF9 in human glioblastoma stem-like cells. We establish for the first time a genome-wide map of KLF9-regulated targets in human glioblastoma stem-like cells, and show that KLF9 functions as a transcriptional repressor and thereby regulates multiple signaling pathways involved in oncogenesis and stem cell regulation. A detailed analysis of one such pathway, integrin signaling, shows that the capacity of KLF9 to inhibit glioblastoma cell stemness and tumorigenicity requires ITGA6 repression. These findings enhance our understanding of the transcriptional networks underlying cancer cell stemness and differentiation, and identify KLF9-regulated molecular targets applicable to cancer therapeutics. Two cell lines were used as biological replicates. Each cell line has one KLF9 induction sample and one control sample.
