TFE3-splicing factor fusions represent functional drivers and druggable targets in translocation renal cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: TFE3 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper MiT transcription factor family and its chimeric proteins are associated with translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC). Despite the variety of genes fusions, most of TFE3 fusions partner genes are related to spliceosome machinery. Dissecting the function of TFE3 fused to spliceosome machinery factors (TFE3-SF) could direct the development of effective therapies for this lethal disease, which is refractory to standard treatments for kidney cancer. Here, by using a combination of in silico structure prediction, transcriptome profiling, molecular characterization, and high-throughput high-content screening (HTHCS) we interrogated a number of oncogenic mechanisms of TFE3-SF-containing fusions. We demonstrate that inhibition of TFE3-SF dimerization reverses its oncogenic activity and represents a potential new target for therapeutic intervention. Using HTHCS combined with FRET technology, we screened the FDA approved drugs library LOPAC and a small molecule library (Microsource) and identified compounds that inhibit TFE3-SF dimerization. Hit compounds were validated in 2D and 3D models utilizing patient derived xenolines and xenografts expressing TFE3-SF. The antihistamine terfenadine demonstrated decreased cell proliferation and reduced in vivo tumor growth. Overall, our results unmask synthetic vulnerabilities of TFE3-SF dimerization for novel therapeutic strategies in patients with this aggressive type of kidney cancer.

TFE3 Xp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma mouse model

Project description:Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) associated with Xp11.2 translocation (TFE3-RCC) has been recently defined as a distinct subset of RCC. The Xp11 translocations involve the TFE3 transcription factor and produce chimeric TFE3 proteins retaining the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper structure for dimerization. To facilitate the development of molecular-based diagnostic tools and targeted therapies for TFE3-RCC, we generated a translocation RCC mouse model and performed DNA microarray analysis.

DETECTION OF FOUR NOVEL RENAL TUMORS CASES HARBORING RBM10-TFE3 FUSIONS

Project description:Microphtalmia-associated-transcriptional-factor-family translocation renal cell carcinoma (MiTF-tRCC) currently includes two main subtypes: “TFEB-tRCC” most often characterized by a t(6;11)(p21;q13) that generates a fusion of TFEB with MALAT1 and “TFE3-tRCC” characterized by rearrangements of TFE3 at Xp11.23 (2-3) that produce a variety of fusion genes. FISH is a handy method in routine practice that allows the detection of a rearrangement of TFE3. However, it reaches its limits in cases of micro-inversions or insertions: in fact paracentric microinversions that involve GRIPAP1 (Xp11.23) (23, Classe) or RBM10 (Xp11.3), very close to TFE3 , are most often undetectable.We report the clinical, immunohistological, genomic and molecular description of four novel TFE3-tRCC with RBM10-TFE3 fusion detected by targeted RNASeq analysis that illustrate the difficulties of diagnosis, especially in reason of disconcerting negative TFE3 FISH results.

Comparative genomics incorporating translocation renal cell carcinoma mouse model reveals molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis

Project description:Translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) most commonly involves an ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion, but molecular mechanisms remain elusive and animal models are lacking. Here, we show that human ASPSCR1-TFE3 driven by Pax8-Cre (a credentialed clear cell RCC driver) disrupted nephrogenesis and glomerular development, causing neonatal death, while the clear cell RCC failed driver, Sglt2-Cre, induced aggressive tRCC (as well as alveolar soft part sarcoma) with complete penetrance and short latency. However, in both contexts, ASPSCR1-TFE3 led to characteristic morphological cellular changes, loss of epithelial markers, and an epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Electron microscopy of tRCC tumors showed lysosome expansion, and functional studies revealed simultaneous activation of autophagy and mTORC1 pathways. Comparative genomic analyses encompassing an institutional human tRCC cohort (including a hitherto unreported SFPQ-TFEB fusion) and a variety of tumorgraft models (ASPSCR1-TFE3, PRCC-TFE3, SFPQ-TFE3, RBM10-TFE3, and MALAT1-TFEB) disclosed significant convergence in canonical pathways (cell cycle, lysosome, and mTORC1) and less established pathways such as Myc, E2F, and inflammation (IL-6/JAK/STAT3, interferon-γ, TLR signaling, systemic lupus, etc.). Therapeutic trials (adjusted for human drug exposures) showed antitumor activity of cabozantinib. Overall, this study provides insight into MiT/TFE-driven tumorigenesis, including the cell of origin, and characterizes diverse mouse models available for research

Integrative Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Translocation Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is a poorly-characterized subtype of kidney cancer driven by MiT/TFE gene fusions. Here, we define the landmarks of tRCC through an integrative analysis of 152 patients with tRCC identified across multiple genomic, clinical trial, and retrospective cohorts. Most tRCCs harbor few somatic alterations apart from MiT/TFE fusions and homozygous deletions at chromosome 9p21.3 (19.2% of cases). Transcriptionally, tRCCs display a heightened NRF2-driven antioxidant response that is associated with resistance to many targeted therapies. Consistently, we find that outcomes for patients with tRCC treated with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitors (VEGFR-TKI) are worse than those treated with immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). Multiparametric immunofluorescence confirmed the presence of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating T cells compatible with a clinical benefit from ICI and revealed an exhaustion immunophenotype distinct from that of clear cell RCC. Our findings comprehensively define the clinical and molecular features of tRCC and may inspire new therapeutic hypotheses.

The TAZ-CAMTA1 and YAP-TFE3 fusion proteins modulate the basal TAZ/YAP transcriptional program by recruiting the Ada2a-containing histone acetyltransferase complex [rnaseq_3T3]

Project description:The WWTR1(TAZ)-CAMTA1 and YAP1-TFE3 gene fusions are disease defining gene alterations for epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, a vascular cancer. The resultant fusion proteins fuse the C terminus of CAMTA1 and TFE3 in frame to the N terminus of TAZ and YAP, respectively. An unbiased BioID-mass spectrometry/RNAi screen identified YEATS2 and ZZZ3 as components of the Ada2a-containing histone acetyltransferase complex and key interactors of both TAZ-CAMTA1 and YAP-TFE3. An integrative NGS approach including RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and ATAC-Seq showed TAZ-CAMTA1 and YAP-TFE3 transcriptional programs overlap with TAZ and YAP but also drive expression of a novel transcriptome.

The altered transcriptional program of the fusion proteins is modulated by the Ada2a-containing histone acetyltransferase complex.
