CFDP1 is a neuroblastoma susceptibility gene that regulates transcription factors of the noradrenergic cell identity

ABSTRACT: Pleiotropic genetic factors (e.g., DNA polymorphisms) may be involved in the initiation of neuroblastoma (NB) and coronary artery disease (CAD) given their common origin from defects in neural crest development. To discover novel NB susceptibility genes, we conducted a three-stage survey including a meta-analysis of NB and CAD genome-wide association data, prioritization of NB causal variants, and validation in an independent case-controls cohort. The lead SNP, rs13337397 at the 16q23.1 locus, associated with both diseases in the meta-analysis and with NB in the validation study. All the SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with rs13337397 were annotated using the H3K27ac epigenetic marker of neural crest cells (NCC) and NB cell lines. Indeed, we identified the functional SNP rs13337017, mapping within an enhancer of NCCs and NB cell lines and showing long-range interactions with CFDP1 by Hi-C analysis. Luciferase assays indicated that the risk allele of rs13337017 increased CFDP1 expression in NB cell lines. Of note, CFDP1 high expression associated with unfavorable prognostic markers in an analysis including 498 NB transcriptomes. Moreover, depletion of CFDP1 markedly decreased viability and migration and increased apoptotic rates in NB cell lines. Finally, transcriptome and qPCR analyses revealed that the depletion of CFDP1 may affect noradrenergic neuron differentiation by downregulating master regulators of sympathetic noradrenergic identity, including PHOX2B, HAND2 and GATA3. Our data strongly suggest that CFDP1 acts as oncogene in NB. Additionally, we provide evidence that genetic predisposition to NB can be mediated by the alteration of noradrenergic lineage-specific gene expression.

Norepinephrine transporter-deficient neural crest cells

Project description:Background: The goal of this study was to determine the transcriptional consequences of norepinephrine transporter (NET) gene deletion in noradrenergic neuron differentiation. The norepinephrine transporter (NET) is the target of powerful mind-altering substances, such as tricyclic antidepressants and the drug of abuse, cocaine. NET function in adult noradrenergic neurons of the peripheral and central nervous systems is that of a scavenger that internalizes norepinephrine from the synaptic cleft. By contrast, norepinephrine (NE) transport has a different role in embryogenesis. It promotes differentiation of neural crest cells and locus ceruleus progenitors into noradrenergic neurons, whereas NET inhibitors, such as the tricyclic antidepressant desipramine and the drug of abuse, cocaine, inhibit noradrenergic differentiation. While NET structure und regulation of NET function is well described, little is known about downstream targets of NE transport. Results: We have determined by long serial analysis of gene expression (LongSAGE) the gene expression profiles of in vitro differentiating wild type and norepinephrine transporter-deficient (NETKO) neural crest derivatives. Comparison analyses with the wild type library (GSM 105765) have identified a number of important differentially expressed genes, including genes relevant to noradrenergic neuron differentiation and to the phenotype of NETKO mice. Furthermore we have identified novel differentially expressed genes. Conclusions: Loss of NET function during embryonic development deregulates signaling pathways that are critically involved in neural crest formation and noradrenergic neuron differentiation. The library was constructed from total RNA of 60 neural crest culture at culture day 7. The neural tubes were dissected from E9.5 embryos that lack the norepinephrine transporter gene.

Gene expression analysis in NB adherent primary cell lines after endothelin-1 treatment

Project description:We cultured adherent primary cell lines from NB tumor samples. Adherent primary cell lines from NB tumor samples have a subpopulation of neural crest progenitors that grow as spheres when cultured in low-binding conditions. We tested the changes in gene expression induced by endothelin-1 (ET1), a cytokine that regulates proliferation, migration, differentiation and survival of NC cells .

11q deletion or ALK activity curbs DLG2 expression to maintain an undifferentiated state in neuroblastoma.

Project description:High-risk 11q deleted neuroblastomas (NBs) typically display an undifferentiated/poorly differentiated morphology. NB is thought to develop from Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) and un-differentiated neural crest derived cells (NCC). It is therefore vital to understand the mechanisms involved in the block of differentiation. We showed that an important and novel role for oncogenic ALK-ERK1/2-SP1 signaling may be the maintenance of an undifferentiated state of transformed NC-derived progenitors that is achieved by repression of DLG2, a tumor suppressor in NB. DLG2 is expressed in the ‘bridge signature’ that represents the transcriptional transition state when neural crest cells or Schwann Cell Precursors (SCP) become chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland. The importance of SP1 and DLG2 in this process is highlighted by our findings that restoring DLG2 expression spontaneously drives NB differentiation. Further, genetic analysis of high-risk 11q deletion NB patient identified genetic lesions in the DLG2 gene, Our data also suggest that further exploration of other ‘bridge genes’ may help to better understand the mechanisms underlying the differentiation of NC-derived progenitors and their contribution to NB.

Heterogeneity of neuroblastoma cell identity revealed by transcriptional circuitries

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a tumor of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, derived from multipotent neural crest cells (NCCs). To define Core Regulatory Circuitries (CRCs) controlling the gene expression program of neuroblastoma, we established and analyzed the neuroblastoma super-enhancer landscape. We discovered three types of identity in neuroblastoma cell lines: a sympathetic noradrenergic identity defined by a CRC module including the PHOX2B, HAND2 and GATA3 transcription factors (TFs); an NCC-like identity, driven by a CRC module containing AP-1 family TFs; a mixed type further deconvoluted at the single cell level. Treatment of the mixed type with chemotherapeutic agents resulted in enrichment of NCC-like cells. The noradrenergic module was validated by ChIP-seq. Functional studies demonstrated dependency of neuroblastoma with noradrenergic identity on PHOX2B, evocative of lineage addiction. Most neuroblastoma primary tumors express TFs from the noradrenergic and NCC-like modules. Our data demonstrate a novel aspect of tumor heterogeneity relevant for neuroblastoma treatment strategies.

Analysis of RNA-seq of human neuroblastomas from mouse-human neural crest chimeric mice model and in other neuroblastoma models

Project description:To confirm the neuroblastomas (NB) identity of human neuroblastomas from mouse-human neural crest chimeric mice model (CHNBs) we characterized their gene expression profiles by RNA-Seq (CHNBs MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=8). For a global comparison of gene expression profiles of CHNBs with other NB models, we further collected RNA-seq data from patient derived xenografts of neuroblastoma (PDX NBs ; MYCNamp+ALKwt PDX; n=2, and MYCNamp+ALKF1174L PDX; n=3), neuroblastomas from genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM NBs; Th-MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=3), neuroblastoma established cell lines (n=2; Kelly, MYCNamp+ALKF1174L; SH-SY5Y, MYCNwt+ ALKF1174L), human pluripotent derived human neural crest cells (hNCCs; wt hNCCs; n=2, and MYCN+ALKF1174L hNCCs, with Dox; n=2) and from hNCC xenografts (MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=5).

Human embryonic stem cell-derived neural crest model for neuroblastoma

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a common childhood malignant tumor of neural crest origin with remarkable heterogeneity in outcomes. Amplification of the oncogene MYCN is strongly associated with highly malignant behaviour and poor prognosis. Here, we used human ESC-derived neural crest model to recapitulate the initiation of MYCN-driven neuroblastoma and to identify MYCN downstream effectors. Our results show that induced deregulation of MYCN in human neural crest progenitor cells is sufficient to induce tumors that recapitulate the pathological and molecular features of human MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma(MNA-NB). By using this platform, we are able to identify a group of 28 genes that are associated with MYCN expression level only in MNA-NB.

Proteomic characterization of media conditioned by embryonic sympathetic ganglia and dorsal root ganglia

Project description:Embryonic malignant transformation is concomitant to organogenesis, often affecting multipotent and migratory progenitors. Neuroblastoma (NB) is an emblematic example, arising from neural crest progenitors and characterized by a high heterogeneity and a widely disseminated clinical presentation. Metastatic triggers from the embryonic environment are suspected but yet unknown due to limited investigation access in patients and current models. Using combinations of ex vivo and in vivo models mimicking the embryonic context coupled to proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, we identify Olfactomedin1 (OLFM1) released by sympathetic derivatives at the core of a gene program promoting NB cells decohesion, primary tumor escape and dissemination.

Loss of RET promotes mesenchymal identity in neuroblastoma cells

Project description:Aberrant activation of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) drives neuroblastoma (NB). Previous work has identified the RET receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) as a downstream target of ALK activity in NB models. We show here that ALK activation in response to ALKAL2 ligand results in the rapid phosphorylation of RET in NB cells, providing additional insight into the contribution of RET to the ALK driven gene signature in NB. To further address the role of RET in NB, RET knock-out (KO) SK-N-AS cells were generated by CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering. Gene expression analysis of RET KO NB cells identified a reprogramming of NB cells to a mesenchymal (MES) phenotype that was characterized by increased migration and upregulation of the AXL and MET RTKs as well as integrins and extracellular matrix components. Strikingly, the upregulation of AXL in the absence of RET reflects the development timeline observed in the neural crest as progenitor cells undergo differentiation during embryonic development. Together, these findings suggest that a MES phenotype is promoted in mesenchymal NB cells in the absence of RET, reflective of a less differentiated developmental status.
