Epigenome programming by H3.3K27M mutation creates a dependence of pediatric glioma on SMARCA4

ABSTRACT: Patients with diffuse midline gliomas-H3K27-altered (DMG) display a dismal prognosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying DMG tumorigenesis remain poorly defined. Here we show that SMARCA4, the catalytic subunit of mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is essential for the proliferation, migration and invasion of DMG cells and tumor growth in patient-derived DMG xenograft models. SMARCA4 co-localizes with SOX10 at gene regulatory elements (GRE) to control the expression of genes involved in cell growth and extracellular matrix (ECM). Moreover, SMARCA4 chromatin binding is reduced upon depletion of SOX10 or H3.3K27M, a mutation occurring in about 60% DMG tumors. Furthermore, the SMARCA4 occupancy at enhancers marked by both SOX10 and H3K27 acetylation is reduced the most upon depleting the H3.3K27M mutation. Taken together, our results support a model in which epigenome reprogramming by H3.3K27M creates a dependence on SMARCA4-mediated chromatin remodeling to drive gene expression and the pathogenesis of H3.3K27M DMG.

The histone H3.3K27M mutation in pediatric glioma reprograms H3K27 methylation and gene expression

Project description:Recent studies have identified a Lys 27-to-methionine (K27M) mutation at one allele of H3F3A, one of the two genes encoding histone H3 variant H3.3, in 60% of high-grade pediatric glioma cases. The median survival of this group of patients after diagnosis is ∼1 yr. Here we show that the levels of H3K27 di- and trimethylation (H3K27me2 and H3K27me3) are reduced globally in H3.3K27M patient samples due to the expression of the H3.3K27M mutant allele. Remarkably, we also observed that H3K27me3 and Ezh2 (the catalytic subunit of H3K27 methyltransferase) at chromatin are dramatically increased locally at hundreds of gene loci in H3.3K27M patient cells. Moreover, the gain of H3K27me3 and Ezh2 at gene promoters alters the expression of genes that are associated with various cancer pathways. These results indicate that H3.3K27M mutation reprograms epigenetic landscape and gene expression, which may drive tumorigenesis. We performed chromatin-immunoprecipitation of H3K27me3, H3K4me3, and EZH2 in SF7761 and NSC cell lines. And do RNA-seq in SF7761, SF8828 and NSC cell lines. SF7761 and SF8628 cell lines from patients harboring the histone H3.3 K27M mutation were obtained from Hashizume et al. (2012). NSCs (N7800-100) were purchased from Invitrogen and cultured and maintained in NSC medium (A10509-01, StemPro NSC SFM, Invitrogen).

Targeting SWI/SNF ATPases in H3.3K27M Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), including diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), bearing lysine-to-methionine mutations in histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27M) are lethal childhood brain cancers. These tumors harbor a global reduction in the transcriptional repressive mark H3K27me3 accompanied by an increase in the transcriptional activation mark H3K27ac. We postulated that H3K27M mutations, in addition to altering H3K27 modifications, reprogram the master chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF complex. The SWI/SNF complex can exist in two main forms termed BAF and PBAF that play central roles in neurodevelopment and cancer. Moreover, BAF antagonizes PRC2, the main enzyme catalyzing H3K27me3. We demonstrate that H3K27M gliomas show increased protein levels of the SWI/SNF complex ATPase subunits SMARCA4 and SMARCA2 and the PBAF component PBRM1. Additionally, knockdown of mutant H3K27M lowered SMARCA4 protein levels. The proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) AU-15330 that simultaneously targets SMARCA4, SMARCA2, and PBRM1 for degradation exhibits cytotoxicity in H3.3K27M but not H3 wild-type cells. AU-15330 lowered chromatin accessibility measured by ATAC-seq at non-promoter regions and reduced global H3K27ac levels. Integrated analysis of gene expression, proteomics, and chromatin accessibility in AU-15330-treated cells demonstrated reduction in levels of FOXO1, a key member of the forkhead family of transcription factors. Moreover, genetic or pharmacologic targeting of FOXO1 resulted in cell death in H3K27M cells. Overall, our results suggest that H3K27M upregulates SMARCA4 levels and combined targeting of SWI/SNF ATPases in H3.3K27M can serve as a potent therapeutic strategy for these deadly childhood brain tumors.

A Novel Mouse Model of Diffuse Midline Glioma Initiated in Neonatal Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells Highlights Cell- of-origin Dependent Effects of H3K27M III

Project description:Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a type of lethal brain tumor that develops mainly in children. The majority of DMG harbor the K27M mutation in histone H3. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the brainstem are candidate cells-of-origin for DMG, yet there is no genetically engineered mouse model of DMG initiated in OPCs. Here, we used the RCAS/Tv-a avian retroviral system to generate DMG in Olig2-expressing progenitors and Nestin-expressing progenitors in the neonatal mouse brainstem. PDGF-B overexpression, along with p53 deletion, resulted in gliomas. Exogenous overexpression of H3.3K27M had a significant effect on tumor latency and tumor cell proliferation when compared with H3.3WT in Nestin+ cells but not in Olig2+ cells. Further, the fraction of H3.3K27M-positive cells was significantly lower in DMGs initiated in Olig2+ cells relative to Nestin+ cells, suggesting that the requirement for H3.3K27M is reduced when tumorigenesis is initiated in Olig2+ cells. Interestingly, H3K27 trimethylation was decreased with H3.3K27M induction even in Olig2+ cells. Therefore, we need to find if there is transcriptional changes for the tumorigenesis with H3.3K27M in Olig2+ cells.

The H3.3K27M oncohistone antagonizes reprogramming in Drosophila

Project description: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.

H2A.Z histone variants facilitate HDACi-dependent removal of H3.3K27M mutant protein in paediatric high-grade glioma cells

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are a deadly paediatric brain tumours, non-resectable due to brainstem localisation and diffusive growth. Patients with DIPG have a dismal prognosis of 9-12 months of survival with no effective therapy. Over 80% of DIPGs harbour a mutation in histone 3 (H3.3 or H3.1) resulting in a lysine to methionine substitution (H3K27M). H3K27M causes global epigenetic alterations (a loss of H3K27 trimethylation and an increase in H3K27 acetylation) resulting in aberrant gene expression. To date, no therapeutic strategy exists to suppress the levels of oncogenic H3K27M. We show that pan-HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) lead to the temporary but significant reduction in the H3.33K27M protein (up to 80%) in multiple glioma cell lines expressing the H3.3K27M histone variant, without changes in the H3F3A mRNA expression. The H3.3K27M occupancy at the chromatin is greatly reduced upon HDACi (SB939) treatment, as shown by ChIPseq analysis. H3.3K27M loss is most striking at SB939-upregulated genes suggesting the role in repression of these genes. In addition, genes previously reported as H3K27M-dependent become downregulated in response to SB939 treatment. We discover that the SB939-mediated loss of H3.3K27M is partially blocked by a lysosomal inhibitor, chloroquine. Moreover, the loss of H3.3K27M is facilitated by co-occurrence of H2A.Z, as evidenced by the knock-down of H2A.Z histone isoforms. ChIPseq analysis confirms the occupancy of H3.3K27M and H2A.Z at the same SB939-inducible genes. Altogether, we provide new insight into disease-specific mechanism of HDAC inhibition and demonstrate pharmacological modulation of the oncogenic H3.3K27M protein levels. These findings open a new possibility to directly target the H3.3K27M oncohistone, which may be exploited in future therapies.

A Novel Mouse Model of Diffuse Midline Glioma Initiated in Neonatal Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells Highlights Cell- of-origin Dependent Effects of H3K27M I

Project description:Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a type of lethal brain tumor that develops mainly in children. The majority of DMG harbor the K27M mutation in histone H3. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the brainstem are candidate cells-of-origin for DMG, yet there is no genetically engineered mouse model of DMG initiated in OPCs. Here, we used the RCAS/Tv-a avian retroviral system to generate DMG in Olig2-expressing progenitors and Nestin-expressing progenitors in the neonatal mouse brainstem. PDGF-A or PDGF-B overexpression, along with p53 deletion, resulted in gliomas in both models. Exogenous overexpression of H3.3K27M had a significant effect on tumor latency and tumor cell proliferation when compared with H3.3WT in Nestin+ cells but not in Olig2+ cells. Further, the fraction of H3.3K27M-positive cells was significantly lower in DMGs initiated in Olig2+ cells relative to Nestin+ cells, both in PDGF-A and PDGF-B-driven models, suggesting that the requirement for H3.3K27M is increased when tumorigenesis is initiated in Nestin+ cells. Therefore, we need to find how the tumorigenic effects of H3.3K27M are more oncogenic in Nestin+ cells than Olig2+ cells.

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (Atm) disruption sensitizes spatially-directed H3.3K27M/TP53 diffuse midline gliomas to radiation therapy

Project description:Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are lethal brain tumors characterized by inactivating p53 mutations and oncohistone H3.3K27M mutations that rewire the cellular response to genotoxic stress, presenting therapeutic opportunities. We used RCAS/tv-a retroviruses and Cre recombinase to inactivate p53 and induce K27M in the native H3f3a allele in a lineage- and spatially-directed manner, yielding primary mouse DMGs. Disruption of the DNA damage response kinase Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (Atm) enhanced the efficacy of focal brain irradiation, extending mouse survival. This finding suggests that targeting ATM will enhance the efficacy of radiation therapy for p53-mutant DMG but not p53-wildtype DMG. We used spatial in situ transcriptomics and an allelic series of primary murine DMG models to identify transactivation-independent p53 activity as the key mediator of such radiosensitivity.
