Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare pediatric brain tumor with a median survival of 10-15 months. Histone H3 is mutated in 80% of DIPGs, dictating tumor location, onset, and outcome. Therapeutic resistance remains a major obstacle to preventing tumor recurrence and is in part driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which exhibit self-renewal properties and tumorigenic potential. In previous studies, we have identified these proliferative and tumorigenic features in aldehyde dehydrogenase positive (ALDH+) CSCs in H3K27M mutant DIPG. We hypothesize that ALDH-mediated cancer stemness and resistance may in part be driven by H3K27M. ALDH1A3 expression was reduced in CRISPR-edited DIPG cells (SU-DIPG-XIII) where the H3K27M mutation had been removed (H3K27M-KO). Furthermore, these gained differentiation characteristics and lost their neurosphere-forming potential. The parental (H3K27M) and H3K27M-KO cells were also subjected to ionizing radiation to identify genes responsible for radioresistance in histone-mutated DIPG radioresistance. Nascent transcriptomes were obtained from these cells using bromouridine labeling and capture followed by sequencing (Bru-seq).

Project description:Background: The histone variant H3.3 K27M mutation is a defining characteristic of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)/diffuse midline glioma (DMG). This histone mutation is responsible for major alterations to histone H3 post-translational modification (PTMs) and subsequent aberrant gene expression. However, much less is known about the effect this mutation has on chromatin structure and function, including open versus closed chromatin regions as well as their transcriptomic consequences. Results: Recently, we developed isogenic CRISPR-edited DIPG cell lines that are wild- type for histone H3.3 that can be compared to their matched K27M lines. Here we show via ATAC-seq analysis that H3.3K27M glioma cells have unique accessible chromatin at regions corresponding to neurogenesis, NOTCH, and neuronal development pathways and associated genes that are overexpressed in H3.3K27M compared to our isogenic wild-type cell line. As to mechanisms, accessible enhancers and super-enhancers corresponding to increased gene expression in H3.3K27M cells were also mapped to genes involved in neurogenesis and NOTCH signaling, suggesting that these pathways are key to DIPG tumor maintenance. Motif analysis implicates specific transcription factors as central to the neuro-oncogenic K27M signaling pathway including, in particular, ASCL1 and NEUROD1. Conclusions: Altogether our findings indicate that H3.3K27M causes chromatin to take on a more accessible configuration at key regulatory regions for NOTCH and neurogenesis genes resulting in increased oncogenic gene expression, which is at least partially reversible upon editing K27M back to wild- type.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an aggressive and incurable childhood brain tumor for which new treatments are needed. A high throughput drug screen of 3600 pharmaceutical compounds found that anti-malarials, including quinacrine had potent activity against DIPG neurospheres. CBL0137 is a novel anti-cancer compound developed from quinacrine, which targets Facilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT), a chromatin remodelling complex involved in transcription, replication, and DNA repair. We have found that CBL0137 displays profound cytotoxic activity against a panel of patient derived DIPG cultures, inhibiting cell proliferation and clonogenic potential, restoring tumor suppressor TP53 and Rb activity and inducing cell death through induction of apoptosis. Moreover, in an orthotopic model of DIPG, treatment with CBL0137 significantly extended animal survival. Histone mutations leading to the loss of histone trimethylation result in epigenetic dysregulation driving DIPG tumorigenesis. Treatment with CBL0137 targets this epigenetic defect, restoring both histone H3.3 acetylation and trimethylation and leading to tumor cell death. Combined epigenetic treatment with the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor panobinostat led to inhibition of the Rb/E2F1 pathway, and increased the enzymatic activity of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), leading to the restoration of H3K27 trimethylation. This combination therapy had synergistic activity against DIPG neurospheres with induction of apoptosis. Consistent with the in vitro results, the combination of CBL0137 and panobinostat significantly prolonged the survival of mice bearing DIPG orthografts suggesting a potential treatment strategy for DIPG.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are lethal pediatric brain tumors with limited therapeutic options. Frequently harboring H3K27M mutations, these tumors are resistant to Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) in clinical trials for yet unclear reasons. Given this, there is a critical need for exploring the reasons of insufficient clinical manifestations of HDACi and identifying effective combinatorial therapeutic strategy for the treatment of DIPG. Using ATAC-seq, we identified that HDACi cause heightened accessibility, and the HDACi-opened chromatin regions are highly enriched for SP/KLF motifs. To explore the possibility of combining HDACi with EC-8042, an analog of Mithramycin that blocks the DNA binding of SP/KLF factors，We performed ATAC-seq in SU-DIPG-XVII cells after treated with DMSO, vorinostat and combination vorinostat with EC-8042. And discovered that EC-8042 reverses the gained accessibility caused by HDACi.

Project description:DIPG is a devastating paediatric and young adult brainstem tumour with no cure and a median overall survival of 9 months. Cellular immunotherapy approaches require specific targeting of unique and tumour specific cell surface antigens, however, there is a paucity of known targets for DIPG. Here we used a proteomics platform approach to interrogate an array of patient derived DIPG cell lines to facilitate a multi-omics based approach to identify cell surface protein candidates enriched or unique to DIPG.
