TWIST2-Mediated Chromatin Remodeling Promotes Fusion-Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Sarcomas are derailed in pathways that specify mesenchymal lineages during embryogenesis, causing tumor cells to stall at early stages of differentiation. Among them, rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue sarcoma of skeletal muscle origin. A key feature of RMS is their inability to terminally differentiate despite the high expression of master myogenic regulator MYOD. The bHLH transcription factor TWIST2, which governs mesenchymal stem cell identity and restricts myogenesis, is overexpressed in patient fusion-negative RMS (FN-RMS) tumors. We show that knockdown of TWIST2 enables FN-RMS cells to exit the cell cycle and undergo myogenic differentiation, thereby reducing the growth of FN-RMS xenograft tumors. ChIP-seq analysis revealed that most TWIST2-mediated gene regulation occurs independent of changes in MYOD binding in FN-RMS cells. Instead, TWIST2 controls the deposition of H3K27 acetylation at distal enhancers by interacting with the chromatin remodelers, SMARCA4 and CHD3, to activate growth-related and repress myogenesis-related TWIST2 target genes. Our findings provide new insights into the role of TWIST2 in maintaining an undifferentiated and tumorigenic state of FN-RMS and highlight the clinical potential of reversing the TWIST2-regulated phenotype.
