SOX11 regulates SWI/SNF complex components as member of the adrenergic neuroblastoma core regulatory circuitry [ATAC-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The pediatric extra-cranial tumor neuroblastoma displays a low mutational burden while recurrent copy number alterations are present in most high-risk cases. We identify SOX11 as a dependency transcription factor in adrenergic neuroblastoma based on recurrent chromosome 2p focal gains and amplifications, specific expression in the normal sympatho-adrenal lineage and adrenergic neuroblastoma, regulation by multiple adrenergic specific (super-)enhancers and strong dependency on high SOX11 expression in adrenergic neuroblastomas. SOX11 regulated direct targets include genes implicated in epigenetic control, cytoskeleton and neurodevelopment. Most notably, SOX11 controls chromatin regulatory complexes, including 10 SWI/SNF core components among which SMARCC1, SMARCA4/BRG1 and ARID1A. Additionally, the histone deacetylase HDAC2, PRC1 complex component CBX2, chromatin-modifying enzyme KDM1A/LSD1 and pioneer factor c-MYB are regulated by SOX11. Finally, SOX11 is identified as a core transcription factor of the core regulatory circuitry (CRC) in adrenergic high-risk neuroblastoma with a potential role as epigenetic master regulator upstream of the CRC.

Histone lysine demethylase 4 family proteins maintain the transcriptional program and adrenergic cellular state of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma [RNA-seq]

Project description:Neuroblastoma with MYCN amplification (MNA) is a high-risk disease that requires long-term intensive multimodal therapies. Less than 50% survival rate of high-risk patients has prompted active and extensive studies to seek more effective therapies against MNA neuroblastomas but with few successes. We show that MYCN transdifferentiates the neuroblastoma cells from mesenchymal state to adrenergic state accompanied with induction of histone lysine demethylase 4 family members (KDM4A-C), all of which act in concert to control the expression of MYCN and adrenergic core regulatory transcription factors (CRC TF). Pharmacologic inhibition of KDM4 blocks expression of MYCN and adrenergic CRC transcriptome with genome-wide induction of transcriptionally repressive H3K9me3, resulting in potent anticancer activity against MNA neuroblastomas by inducing differentiation, apoptosis and type I interferon response. KDM4 inhibition in combination with chemotherapy leads to complete tumor response of MNA xenografts, without overt toxicity in animals. Thus, KDM4 blockade may be a transformative strategy to target the dependency of adrenergic CRC TFs in MNA neuroblastomas.

ASCL1: a pioneer factor that induces subtype switching and characterizes adrenergic neuroblastoma

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonic malignancy originating from early nerve cells. Neuroblastoma retains plasticity, interconverting between the mesenchymal (MES) and adrenergic (ADRN) states, which are controlled by different sets of transcription factors forming the core regulatory circuit (CRC). However, their functional roles and cooperative mechanisms in neuroblastoma pathogenesis are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of ASCL1 in MES neuroblastoma cells opens closed chromatin at the promoters of key ADRN genes, accompanied by epigenetic activation and establishment of enhancer-promoter interactions, thereby initiating subtype switching. ASCL1 inhibits the TGFb-SMAD2/3 pathway but activates the BMP-SMAD1-ID3/4 pathway, serving as negative feedback to balance the function of ASCL1-TCF12 dimers. ASCL1 and other ADRN CRC members potentiate each other’s activity, increasing the expression of the original targets and inducing a new set of genes, thereby promoting conversion to ADRN neuroblastoma. Thus, via its pioneer factor function, ASCL1 serves as a master regulator that characterizes ADRN neuroblastoma.

Histone lysine demethylase 4 family proteins maintain the transcriptional program and adrenergic cellular state of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Neuroblastoma with MYCN amplification (MNA) is a high-risk disease that requires long-term intensive multimodal therapies. Despite this, high-risk patients have a poor survival rate, which has prompted extensive studies aimed at identifying more effective therapies against neuroblastomas with MNA. Neuroblastoma displays cellular heterogeneity, including more differentiated (adrenergic) and more primitive (mesenchymal) cellular states. Here, we demonstrate that MYCN oncoprotein can promote a cellular state switch in mesenchymal cells to an adrenergic state. This cellular state transition is accompanied by induction of histone lysine demethylase 4 family members (KDM4A-C), which act in concert to control the expression of MYCN and adrenergic core regulatory transcription factors (CRC TF). Pharmacologic inhibition of KDM4 blocks expression of MYCN and the adrenergic CRC transcriptome with genome-wide induction of transcriptionally repressive H3K9me3, resulting in potent anticancer activity against neuroblastomas with MNA by inducing neuroblastic differentiation, apoptosis, and a type I interferon response. Further, KDM4 inhibition in combination with conventional, cytotoxic chemotherapy results in complete tumor responses of xenografts with MNA, without overt toxicity in animals. Thus, KDM4 blockade may be a novel and transformative strategy to target the adrenergic CRC dependencies in MNA neuroblastomas.

Super-enhancer Driven Core Regulatory Circuitry in MYCN-amplified Neuroblastoma [array]

Project description:Transcriptional dysregulation plays a major role in the development and progression of human tumors such as pediatric neuroblastoma. Therefore, we sought to elucidate the relationship between genes required for neuroblastoma cell growth and survival and the transcriptional core regulatory circuitry (CRC) that controls the gene expression program. A genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screen for oncogenic dependencies revealed that 143 genes are essential for cell survival and growth in neuroblastoma relative to other cancers, including many super-enhancer (SE) regulated transcription factors. Genome-wide occupancy analysis of transcription factor binding demonstrated that at least six of these transcription factors were both dependency genes and components of the CRC in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma including: HAND2, ISL1, PHOX2B, GATA3, TBX2, and MEIS2. Binding sites for these transcription factors were clustered within a few hundred base pairs in their own enhancers and the enhancers of downstream target genes, which surprisingly included 40% of the independently determined neuroblastoma dependency genes. This profound level of transcriptional control of oncogenesis through self-reinforcing transcriptional circuits led us to test combinatorial pharmacological inhibition of transcriptional initiation and elongation, which synergistically induced tumor cell death, supporting drugging transcription as a means to advance the treatment of high risk neuroblastoma.

Retinoic acid rewires the adrenergic core regulatory circuitry of neuroblastoma but can be subverted by enhancer hijacking of MYC or MYCN (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Neuroblastoma cell identity depends on a core regulatory circuit (CRC) of transcription factors that incorporate MYCN to drive the oncogenic gene expression program. For neuroblastomas dependent on the adrenergic CRC, treatment with retinoids can inhibit cell growth and induce differentiation in both primary neuroblastomas and cell lines; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that when MYCN-amplified neuroblastomas cells are treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), they undergo modifications of histone H3K27 acetylation and methylation that decommission super-enhancers driving the expression of PHOX2B and GATA3, together with the activation of new super-enhancers that drive high levels of expression of MEIS1, HIC1 and SOX4. These findings indicate that treatment with ATRA can reprogram the enhancer landscape to collapse the adrenergic CRC, which downregulates MYCN expression, while upregulating a new “retino-sympathetic” CRC that causes proliferative arrest and sympathetic differentiation. Thus, we provide mechanisms that account for the beneficial effects of retinoids against high-risk neuroblastoma and explain the rapid downregulation of expression of MYCN despite massive levels of gene amplification.
