ASCL1 activates neuronal stem cell-like lineage programing through remodeling of the chromatin landscape in prostate cancer [ATAC-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Treatment with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in prostate cancer leads to the emergence of resistant tumors characterized by lineage plasticity and divergent differentiation toward neuroendocrine lineage. We found that ARPIs induce a rapid epigenetic alteration mediated by large-scale chromatin remodeling to support activation of stem/neuronal transcriptional programs. We identified motifs for the proneuronal transcription factor ASCL1 to be enriched in hyper-accessible regions. ASCL1 acts as a driver of the lineage plastic, neuronal transcriptional program to support treatment resistance and neuroendocrine phenotype. Targeting ASCL1 switches the neuroendocrine lineage back to the luminal epithelial state. This effect is modulated by disruption of the polycomb repressive complex-2 and change the chromatin architecture in favor of luminal phenotype. Our study provides insights into the epigenetic alterations induced by ARPI governed by ASCL1, provides a proof of principle of targeting ASCL1 to reverse the neuroendocrine phenotype, support luminal conversion and re-addiction to ARPIs.

Distinct Function for ASCL1 and NEUROD1 in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) are high-grade pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors. The neural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1 have been shown to play crucial roles in promoting the malignant behavior and survival of human SCLC cell lines. In this study, we find ASCL1 and NEUROD1 identify distinct neuroendocrine tumors, bind distinct genomic loci, and regulate mostly distinct genes. ASCL1 and NEUROD1 are often bound in super-enhancers that are associated with highly expressed genes in their respective SCLC cell lines suggesting different cell lineage of origin for these tumors. ASCL1 targets oncogenic genes such as MYCL1, RET, and NFIB, while NEUROD1 targets the oncogenic gene MYC. Although ASCL1 and NEUROD1 regulate different genes, many of these gene targets commonly contribute to neuroendocrine and cell migration function. ASCL1 in particular also regulates genes in the NOTCH pathway and genes important in cell-cycle dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate ASCL1 but not NEUROD1 is required for SCLC and LCNEC tumor formation in current in vivo genetic mouse models of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors ChIP-seq analysis performed on three ASCL1high and two NEUROD1high human SCLC cell lines to identify ASCL1 and/or NEUROD1 binding sites in these two types of cells. Also, we performed ChIP-seq for Ascl1 binding sites in mouse neuroendocrine lung tumors obtained from Trp53;Rb1;Rbl2 triple knockout model mice treated with Adeno-CMVCRE intratracheally.

Prototypical oncogene family Myc defines unappreciated distinct lineage states of small cell lung cancer [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) frequently harbors mutually exclusive genomic amplification of MYC family members. Therefore, it has been long suggested that they are functionally equivalent; however, more recently, their expression has been associated with specific neuroendocrine markers and distinct histopathology. Integrated transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses showed that c-Myc and L-Myc impart neuronal and non-neuroendocrine associated transcriptional programs, respectively, both associated with distinct SCLC lineage. Genetic replacement of c-Myc with L-Myc in c-Myc-SCLC induced a neuronal state but was insufficient to induce ASCL1 lineage. In contrast, c-Myc induced transition from ASCL1-SCLC to NeuroD1-SCLC characterized by distinct LCNEC-like histopathology. Collectively, we characterize an undescribed role of historically defined general oncogenes, c-Myc and L-Myc, for regulating lineage plasticity across molecular subtypes as well as histological subclasses.

ASCL1 represses a SOX9+ neural-crest-stem-like state in small cell lung cancer

Project description:ASCL1 is a neuroendocrine-lineage-specific oncogenic driver of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), highly expressed in a significant fraction of tumors. However, ~25% of human SCLC are ASCL1-low and associated with low-neuroendocrine fate and high MYC expression. Using genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMMs), we show that alterations in Rb1/Trp53/Myc in the mouse lung induce an ASCL1+ state of SCLC in multiple cells of origin. Genetic depletion of ASCL1 in MYC-driven SCLC dramatically inhibits tumor initiation and progression to the NEUROD1+ subtype of SCLC. Surprisingly, ASCL1 loss promotes a SOX9+ mesenchymal/neural-crest-stem-like state and the emergence of bone and more rarely, cartilaginous tumors. ASCL1 is critical for expression of key lineage-related transcription factors NKX2-1, FOXA2, and INSM1, and represses regulators of Hippo, Wnt and Notch developmental pathways in vivo. ASCL1 also represses SOX9 expression in human SCLC cells, suggesting a conserved function for ASCL1. Here, we utilize single-cell RNA sequencing to capture transcriptomic signatures of RPM (Rb1/Trp53/Myc), RPR2 (Rb1/Trp53/Rbl2), and RPMA (Rb1/Trp53/Myc/Ascl1) GEMM tumors to support our conclusion that in MYC-driven SCLC, ASCL1 promotes neuroendocrine fate and represses the emergence of SOX9+ non-endodermal stem-like or mesenchymal fates. These data were integrated with 4 additional invasive RPM tumors from NCBI GEO: GSE149180.

Temporal evolution reveals bifurcated lineages in aggressive neuroendocrine small cell prostate cancer trans-differentiation (Bulk RNA-Seq)

Project description:Trans-differentiation from an adenocarcinoma to a small cell neuroendocrine state is associated with therapy escape in multiple cancer types. The temporal transcriptional changes of this process remain largely undefined. Here, we performed a multi-omics time course analysis of our pan-small cell neuroendocrine cancer model (termed PARCB), a forward genetic transformation using human prostate basal cells. With integrative analyses of RNA sequencing and ATAC sequencing, a shared developmental trajectory is identified among all transformed patient samples. Further mapping with single cell resolution reveals two distinct lineages defined by mutually exclusive expression of ASCL1 and ASCL2. Temporal regulation by groups of transcription factors across developmental stages reveals that cellular reprogramming precedes the induction of neuronal programs. Lastly, TFAP4 and ASCL1/2 feedback were identified as potential regulators of ASCL1 and ASCL2 expression. Our study provides temporal transcriptional patterns and uncovers pan-tissue parallels between prostate and lung cancers, and normal neuroendocrine cells.
