MRNA-seq data HNSCC cell line PLX51107 treatment for HNSCC subtypes


ABSTRACT: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous disease with significant morbidity and mortality and frequent recurrence. Pre-NGS efforts to transcriptionally classify HNSCC into groups of varying prognosis have identified four accepted molecular subtypes of disease: Atypical (AT), Basal (BA), Classical (CL), and Mesenchymal (MS). Here, we investigated the active enhancer landscapes of these subtypes using representative HNSCC cell lines and identified samples belonging to the AT subtype as having increased enhancer activity compared to the other 3 HNSCC subtypes. Cell lines belonging to atypical subtype were more resistant to bromodomain inhibitors (BETi). PRO-Seq experiments that both TCGA tumors and AT cell lines showed higher eRNA transcripts for enhancers controlling BETi resistance pathways, such as lipid metabolism and MAPK signaling. Additionally, HiChIP experiments suggested higher enhancer-promoter (E-P) contacts in the AT subtype, including on genes identified in the eRNA analysis. Consistently, known BETi resistance pathways were upregulated upon exposure to these inhibitors. Together, our results identify that the AT subtype of HNSCC is associated with high enhancer activity, resistance to BET inhibition, and signaling pathways that could serve as future targets for sensitizing HNSCC to BET inhibition.
