Aberrant cell state plasticity mediated by developmental reprogramming precedes colorectal cancer initiation [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Cell state (phenotypic) plasticity is a carefully regulated feature of adult epithelial cells that enables adaptive responses to injury, inflammation, and other forms of stress.Aberrant expansion of the normally restricted capability for cell state plasticity to escape terminal differentiation is a critical aspect of neoplasia. The nongenetic factors and specific programs that mediate aberrant cell state plasticity and impaired differentiationrequire deeper characterization to understand this elusive aspect ofcancer pathogenesis. Using genetically engineered andcarcinogen-induced murine models of intestinal neoplasia, wedemonstrate that impaired differentiation is a conserved eventpreceding cancer development. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq)of neoplastic intestinal lesions from both mouse models and a patientwith familial adenomatous polyposis revealed that cancer initiates byadopting an aberrant transcriptional state characterized bynonoverlapping expression of a regenerative pathway, marked by Ly6a(Sca-1), and a fetal intestinal program, positive for Tacstd2 (Trop2).Genetic inactivation of Sox9 prevented adenoma formation in ApcKOmice, obstructed emergence of aberrant regenerative and fetalintestinal programs, and restored multi-lineage differentiation byscRNA-seq. Expanded chromatin accessibility at regeneration and fetalgenes upon Apc inactivation was reduced by concomitant Sox9suppression. These studies indicate that aberrant cell stateplasticity mediated by unabated regenerative activity anddevelopmental reprogramming precedes cancer development.

Aberrant cell state plasticity mediated by developmental reprogramming precedes colorectal cancer initiation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Cell state plasticity is carefully regulated in adult epithelia, enabling adaptive responses to stressors. The nongenetic factors that control aberrant expansion of the normally restricted capability for cell state plasticity to escape terminal differentiation in neoplasia require deeper characterization. Using genetically-engineered and carcinogen-induced murine models of intestinal neoplasia, we demonstrate that impaired differentiation is a conserved event preceding cancer development. Single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of intestinal neoplasia from both mouse models and a patient with hereditary polyposis revealed that cancer initiates by adopting an aberrant transcriptional state characterized by regenerative activity, marked by Ly6a (Sca-1), and reactivation of fetal intestinal genes, including Tacstd2 (Trop2). Genetic inactivation of Sox9 prevented adenoma formation, obstructed emergence of regenerative and fetal programs, and restored multi-lineage differentiation by scRNA-seq. Expanded chromatin accessibility at regeneration and fetal genes upon Apc inactivation was reduced by concomitant Sox9 suppression. These studies indicate that aberrant cell state plasticity mediated by unabated regenerative activity and developmental reprogramming precedes cancer development.

Transcription profiling by array of human colorectal cancer SW620 cells upon MSX1 depletion.

Project description:The first step in the development of human colorectal cancer (CRC) is the aberrant hyperactivation of the Wnt signaling pathway, predominantly caused by inactivating mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene encoding an essential tumor suppressor. In order to identify genes affected by Apc loss, expression profiling of intestinal epithelium isolated from mice harboring the conditional allele of the gene was performed. The gene encoding transcriptional factor msh homeobox 1 (Msx1) displayed robust upregulation upon Apc inactivation. Subsequently, the expression pattern of human MSX1 was examined in a collection of colonic tumors. The MSX1 mRNA level was increased in all types of human intestinal neoplasia tested. In order to identify genes affected by MSX1 loss, expression profiling of human colorectal cancer cells SW620 upon MSX1 gene depletion was performed.

Single cell transcriptomics of Autophagy high and low intestinal epithelial cells.

Project description:The intestinal epithelium exhibits a rapid and efficient regenerative response to injury. Emerging evidence supports a model where plasticity of differentiating(ed) cells, particularly those in the secretory lineages, contributes to epithelial regeneration upon ablation of injury-sensitive stem cells. However, such facultative stem cell activity is rare within secretory populations. Here we ask whether specific functional properties predict facultative stem cell activity. We utilize in vivo labeling combined with ex vivo organoid formation assays to evaluate how cell age and autophagic state contribute to facultative stem cell activity within secretory lineages. Strikingly, we find that cell age (time elapsed since cell cycle exit) does not correlate with secretory cell plasticity. Instead, high autophagic activity predicts plasticity and resistance to DNA damaging injury independently of cell lineage. Our findings indicate that autophagic status prior to injury serves as a lineage-agnostic proxy for the prospective identification of facultative stem cells.

KDM6A Epigenetically Regulates Subtype Plasticity in Small Cell Lung Cancer

Project description:Using a CRISPR-based autochthonous SCLC GEMM to study the consequences of KDM6A/UTX inactivation, we found that KDM6A inactivation induced plasticity from ASCL1 to NEUROD1 resulting in SCLC tumors with open chromatin at the NEUROD1 promoter that express both ASCL1 and NEUROD1. Mechanistically, KDM6A binds and maintains ASCL1 target genes in an active chromatin state with its loss increasing H3K27me3 near their promoters leading to a cell state that is primed for ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype switching. This work identifies KDM6A as an epigenetic regulator that controls ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype plasticity and provides a novel autochthonous SCLC GEMM to model ASCL1 and NEUROD1 subtype heterogeneity and plasticity, which is found in 35-40% of human SCLCs
