Project description:Small cell lung cancer can be divided into several molecular subtypes based on the expression of four master transcription factors (ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1). These master factors have not been directly druggable, and we hypothesized that targeting their transcriptional coactivator(s) could provide an alternative approach. Here, we identify that BET bromodomain proteins physically interact with NEUROD1 and function as transcriptional coactivators. Using CRISPR knockout and ChIP-seq, we demonstrate that NEUROD1 plays a critical role in defining the landscapes of BET bromodomain proteins in the SCLC genome. Targeting BET bromodomain proteins by BET inhibitors leads to broad suppression of the NEUROD1-target genes, especially those associated with superenhancers, and reduces SCLC growth in vitro and in vivo. LSAMP, a membrane protein in the IgLON family, was identified as one of the NEUROD1-target genes mediating BET inhibitor sensitivity in SCLC. Altogether, our study reveals that targeting transcriptional coactivators could be a novel approach to blocking the master transcription factors in SCLC for therapeutic purposes. The goals for this part of the study were: 1) to identify the NEUROD1 target genes in the SCLC-N subtype small cell lung cancer. To this end, we knocked out NEUROD1 in H446 cells (SCLC-N subtype) by CRISPR and assessed gene expression alterations in three knockout and three control clones. An integrated analysis of the RNA-seq data and the NEUROD1 ChIP-seq data was performed to identify the NEUROD1 target genes; 2) to assess how NEUROD1 knockout affects the response to JQ1 (a BET inhibitor).

To investigate what genes are affected by NHWD-870 (a BET inhibitor) in SCLC-N subtype tumors in vivo, we performed an RNA-seq analysis of the tumor cells isolated from the LX22 PDX after NHWD-870 treatment at 2mg/kg via oral gavage daily for five days.

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.

Project description:Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine malignancy with a poor prognosis. Here, we focus on the neuroendocrine SCLC subtypes SCLC-A and SCLC-N, whose transcription addiction was driven by ASCL1 and NEUROD1 transcription factors which target E-box motifs to activate up to 40% of total genes, the promoters of which are maintained in a steadily open chromatin environment according to ATAC and H3K27Ac signatures. This leverage is used by the marine agent lurbinectedin, which preferentially targets the CpG islands located downstream of the transcription start site, thus arresting elongating RNAPII and promoting its degradation. This abrogates the expression of ASCL1 and NEUROD1 and of their dependent genes such as BCL2, INSM1, MYC and AURKA, which are responsible for relevant SCLC tumorigenic properties such as inhibition of apoptosis and cell survival, as well as for a part of its neuroendocrine features. In summary, we show how the transcription addiction of these cells becomes their Achilles' heel, and how this is effectively exploited by lurbinectedin as a novel and highly specific SCLC therapeutic endeavor.

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a neuroendocrine tumor treated clinically as a single disease with poor outcomes. Distinct SCLC molecular subtypes have been defined based on expression of lineage-related transcription factors: ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3 or YAP1, but their origins remain unknown. We developed an in vitro model of MYC-driven SCLC tumor cell progression, and performed a time-series analysis of single-cell transcriptome profiling to reveal that MYC drives the dynamic evolution of SCLC subtypes. Analyses of these single-cell RNA seq data reveal that MYC promotes a temporal shift from an ASCL1-to-NEUROD1-to-YAP1+ state from a neuroendocrine cell of origin. MYC activates Notch signaling to dedifferentiate tumor cells to non-neuroendocrine fates. Additional single-cell RNA sequencing of 4RPM tumors reveal individual tumors to consist of cells at nearly every stage of RPM tumor evolution modeled in vitro. With the single-cell RNA sequencing of this human SCLC liver biopsy, along with IHC on a panel of 21 human biopsies, we show that human SCLC exhibits intratumoral SCLC subtype heterogeneity, suggesting this dynamic evolution occurs in patient tumors. Together, these single-cell RNA sequencing data support our conclusions that genetics, cell of origin, and tumor cell plasticity determine SCLC subtype.
