Epigenetic and pharmacological control of pigmentation via the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex

ABSTRACT: Lineage-specific differentiation programs are activated by epigenetic changes in chromatin structure. Melanin-producing melanocytes maintain a gene expression program ensuring appropriate enzymatic conversion of metabolites into the pigment, melanin, and its transfer to surrounding cells. During neuroectodermal development, SMARCA4, the catalytic subunit of SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes, is essential for lineage specification. SMARCA4 is also required for development of multipotent neural crest precursors into melanoblasts, which differentiate into pigment-producing melanocytes. In addition to the catalytic domain, SMARCA4 and several SWI/SNF subunits contain bromodomains which are amenable to pharmacological inhibition. We investigated the effects of pharmacological inhibitors of SWI/SNF bromodomains on melanocyte differentiation. Strikingly, treatment of murine melanoblasts and human neonatal epidermal melanocytes with selected bromodomain inhibitors abrogated melanin synthesis and visible pigmentation. Using functional genomics, iBRD9, a small molecule selective for the bromodomain of BRD9, repressed pigmentation-specific gene expression. Depletion of BRD9 confirmed a requirement for expression of pigmentation genes in the differentiation program from melanoblasts into pigmented melanocytes and in melanoma cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that iBRD9 disrupts the occupancy of bromodomain containing 9 (BRD9) and the catalytic subunit SMARCA4. These data indicate that BRD9 promotes melanocyte differentiation and pigmentation whereas pharmacological inhibition of BRD9 is repressive.

BRD9 defines a novel SWI/SNF sub-complex and constitutes a specific vulnerability in malignant rhabdoid tumors [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) was recently identified to be associated with the chromatin remodeling SWI/SNF(BAF) complex, yet its function within the complex has remained unclear. Here, using genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screens, we found that BRD9 constitutes a specific vulnerability in highly malignant pediatric rhabdoid tumors, which are driven by inactivating mutations of SMARCB1 subunit of SWI/SNF complexes. Surprisingly, we found that BRD9 does not belong to the previously identified BAF or PBAF complexes, but instead is found exclusively in a novel of SWI/SNF sub-complex. We show that BRD9-containing complexes lack SMARCB1, which had previously been considered a core subunit present in all SWI/SNF variants. We recently demonstrated that both SMARCB1-containing and ARID1A-containing SWI/SNF complexes preferentially function at enhancers, but here we show that BRD9-containing complexes are located at active promoters as well as enhancers. We show that loss of SMARCB1, as observed in rhabdoid tumors, results in increased BRD9 interaction with SWI/SNF core subunit SMARCC1, consistent with competition between SMARCB1 and BRD9 in the formation of SWI/SNF complexes. Underlying the dependency, we demonstrate that BRD9, via its DUF3512 domain, is essential for maintaining the integrity of its sub-complex, which predominates in the absence of SMARCB1. Taken together, our results reveal a BRD9-containing SWI/SNF subcomplex which is required for the survival of SMARCB1-mutant rhabdoid tumors.

siRNA Knockdown of SWI/SNF complex proteins in prostate cancer cell lines

Project description:Here we performed transcriptional profiling of the prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and 22Rv1 comparing non-targeting siRNA treatment versus siRNAs targeting SWI/SNF complex proteins (SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and SMARCB1). Goal was to determine the effect of SWI/SNF knockdown on gene expression in prostate cancer. Two-condition experiment: non-targeting siRNA versus SWI/SNF-siRNA treated cells. Three SWI/SNF proteins were targeted: SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and SMARB1. Biological replicates: 1 control replicate, 2 treatment replicates per SWI/SNF protein. Technical replicates: 1 replicate per SWI/SNF protein. Cell lines: 22Rv1 and LNCaP.

Gene expression profiling on isogenic lines expressing wild-type and mutant forms of SMARCA2 and SMARCA4

Project description:SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 are two mutually exclusive ATPase subunits of SWI/SNF complex. SMARCA4 deficient lung cancer population selectively depend on SMARCA2 for cancer growth phenotype. Rescue experiments with ectopic expression of wild-type, bromodomain mutant and ATPase dead SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 highlight that ATPase domain is the drug target. In this study, we performed genome-wide microarray and differential gene expression profiling on isogenic lung cancer lines expressing cDNA rescue constructs for wild-type, bromodomain mutant and ATPase dead SMARCA2 and SMARCA4

Catalytic subunits switch drives resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in ARID1A-mutated cells [RNA-seq]

Project description:The SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex is altered in ~20% of human cancers. ARID1A, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, is the most frequently mutated epigenetic regulator in human cancers. Inactivation of the SWI/SNF complex is synthetically lethal with inhibition of EZH2 activity. EZH2 inhibitors are entering clinical trials for specific tumor types with SWI/SNF mutations. However, mechanisms of de novo or acquired resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in cancers with inactivating SWI/SNF mutations are unknown. Here we show that the switch of the SWI/SNF catalytic subunits from SMARCA4 to SMARCA2 drives resistance to EZH2 inhibitors in ARID1A-mutated ovarian cancer cells.

Development of an orally bioavailable SWI/SNF ATPase degrader and acquired mechanisms of resistance [WES]

Project description:SWI/SNF ATPase degraders have been shown to be effective in enhancer-driven cancers by functioning to impede oncogenic transcription factor chromatin accessibility. Here we developed AU-24118, a first-in-class, orally bioavailable degrader of SMARCA2/4 and PBRM1. AU-24118 demonstrated tumor regression in a castration resistant model of prostate cancer which was further enhanced in combination with enzalutamide. Prostate cancer cell lines exposed to increasing doses of a SWI/SNF degrader developed SMARCA4 bromodomain mutations and ABCB1 overexpression as acquired mechanisms of resistance. While SMARCA4 mutations provided specific resistance to SWI/SNF degraders, ABCB1 overexpression provided broader resistance to other compounds as well as could be overcome with ABCB1 inhibition.

The study of SWI/SNF subunits and other transcription factors deposition in asynchronous and mitotic mESCs and cells released from mitosis

Project description:We executed CUT&RUN-seq for SWI/SNF components ARID1A, BRD9, SMARCA4, SMARCB1, SMARCE1, as well as ESRRB, SOX2, and EZH2 in asynchronous and mitotic cells and reported that, in asynchronous cells, ARID1A localized primarily at enhancer regions and EZH2 preferentially deposited at bivalent promoters and silent enhancer domains. The remaining factors were enriched at both TSS/promoters and to varying degrees at active enhancers. Unexpectedly, in mitosis, the chromatin regulatory factors almost all tethered at proximal gene regions with very little binding at enhancers. While the SWI/SNF subunits were bound principally at promoters, EZH2, the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 was bound at both promoters and silent enhancers in mitotic cells. Moreover, we reported that upon the degradation of SMARCE1 in mitosis, the occupancy of SOX2, ESRRB, and EZH2 on mitotic chromatin was disrupted.
