ASPSCR1-TFE3 orchestrates the angiogenic program of alveolar soft part sarcoma 3


ABSTRACT: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft part malignancy affecting adolescents and young adult. ASPS is characterized by its alveolar structure consisting of tumor cells and highly integrated vascular network, and its high metastatic potential indicates the importance of the prominent angiogenic activity of ASPS. Here we find that the expression of ASPSCR1-TFE3, the fusion transcription factor causatively associated with ASPS, is dispensable for in vitro tumor maintenance but required for in vivo tumor development via angiogenesis. ASPSCR1-TFE3 frequently associates with active enhancers including super-enhancers (SE) upon its DNA binding, and the loss of its expression induces dynamic modification of SE distribution related to genes belonging to the angiogenesis pathway. Using epigenomic CRISPR/dCas9 screening, we identify Pdgfb, Rab27a, Sytl2, and Vwf as critical target genes associated with reduced enhancer activities due to the ASPSCR1-TFE3 loss. ASPSCR1-TFE3 thus orchestrates higher ordered angiogenesis via enhanced intracellular trafficking of angiogenic factors.
