PAX3-FOXO1 dictates myogenic reprogramming and rhabdomyosarcoma identity in endothelial progenitors [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS) driven by the expression of the PAX3-FOXO1 (P3F) fusion oncoprotein is an aggressive subtype of pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma. FP-RMS histologically resembles developing muscle yet occurs throughout the body in areas devoid of skeletal muscle highlighting that FP-RMS is not derived from an exclusively myogenic cell of origin. Here we demonstrate that P3F reprograms mouse and human endothelial progenitors to FP-RMS. We show that P3F expression in aP2-Cre expressing cells reprograms endothelial progenitors to functional myogenic stem cells capable of regenerating injured muscle fibers. Further, we describe a FP-RMS mouse model driven by P3F expression and Cdkn2a loss in endothelial cells. Additionally, we show that P3F expression in TP53-null human iPSCs blocks endothelial-directed differentiation and guides cells to become myogenic cells that form FP-RMS tumors in immunocompromised mice. Together these findings demonstrate that FP-RMS can originate from aberrant development of non-myogenic cells driven by P3F.

BET Bromodomain Degradation Disrupts Function but Not 3D Formation of RNA Pol2 Clusters

Project description:Fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS) is driven by a translocation that creates the chimeric transcription factor PAX3-FOXO1 (P3F), which assembles de novo super enhancers to drive high levels of transcription of other core regulatory transcription factors (CRTFs). P3F recruits co-regulatory factors to super enhancers such as BRD4, which recognizes acetylated lysines via BET bromodomains. In this study, we demonstrate that inhibition or degradation of BRD4 leads to global decreases in transcription, and selective downregulation of CRTFs. We also show that the BRD4 degrader ARV-771 halts transcription while preserving RNA Polymerase II (Pol2) loops between super enhancers and their target genes, and causes the removal of Pol2 only past the transcriptional end site of CRTF genes, suggesting a novel effect of BRD4 on Pol2 looping. We finally test the most potent molecule, inhibitor BMS-986158, in an orthotopic PDX mouse model of FP-RMS with additional high-risk mutations, and find that it is well tolerated in vivo and leads to an average decrease in tumor size. This effort represents a partnership with an FP-RMS patient and family advocates to make preclinical data rapidly accessible to the family, and to generate data to inform future patients who develop this disease.

The BAF complex blocks Myogenesis in rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant pediatric cancer of skeletal muscle lineage. The aggressive alveolar subtype is commonly characterized by t(2;13) or t(1;13) translocations with the expression of PAX3- or PAX7-FOXO1 fusion transcription factors respectively and is known as fusion positive RMS (FP-RMS). FP-RMS tumors rely on the fusion gene to maintain their proliferative state while avoiding terminal differentiation program. Since disruptions of normal development are likely governed by epigenetic changes in these low-mutational-burden tumors, we investigated the contributions of chromatin regulatory complexes to RMS tumor maintenance. We demonstrate the essentiality of the mSWI/SNF ATPase BRG1 for FP-RMS proliferation and discover that RMS significantly overexpress SMARCA4 (encoding BRG1) compared to skeletal muscle. We define the mSWI/SNF subunit repertoire in FP-RMS and provide evidence for the assembly of multiple mSWI/SNF complexes including canonical BAF, PBAF and non-canonical (nc)BAF in FP-RMS. Proteomic studies suggest proximity between PAX3-FOXO1 and BAF complexes, which was further supported by genome-wide binding profiles revealing enhancer colocalization of BAF with FP-RMS core regulatory transcription factors. We report that mSWI/SNF complexes act as sensors of chromatin state, which are recruited to sites of de novo histone acetylation. Phenotypically, interference with mSWI/SNF complex function induces transcriptional activation of the skeletal muscle differentiation program associated with MYCN enhancer invasion at myogenic target genes. Finally, BRG1 targeting compounds reproduce the effects of genetic ablation. We conclude that inhibition of BRG1 overcomes the differentiation blockade of FP-RMS cells and may provide a therapeutic strategy for treating this lethal childhood tumor.

Culturing human fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines as rhabdospheres enriches for stemness and Notch signaling

Project description:The development of three-dimensional cell culture techniques has allowed cancer researchers to study the stemness properties of cancer cells in in vitro culture. However, a method to grow PAX3-FOXO1-positive fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma (FP-RMS) - an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma of childhood - has thus far not been achieved, hampering efforts to identify the dysregulated signaling pathways that underlie FP-RMS stemness. Here, we first examine the expression of canonical stem cell markers in human RMS tumors and cell lines. We then describe a method to grow FP-RMS cell lines as rhabdospheres and demonstrate that these spheres are enriched in expression of canonical stemness factors as well as Notch signaling components. Specifically, FP-RMS rhabdospheres have increased expression of SOX2, POU5F1 (OCT4), and NANOG, and several receptors and transcriptional regulators in the Notch signaling pathway. FP-RMS rhabdospheres also exhibit functional stemness characteristics including multipotency, increased tumorigenicity in vivo, and chemoresistance. This method provides a novel practical tool to support research into FP-RMS stemness and chemoresistance signaling mechanisms. We used microarray to understand the transcriptome profile of rhabdomyosarcoma in different culture condition (adherent, sphere, and xenograft).

Stem cell and developmental hierarchies in rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood and is comprised of two major molecular subtypes. Despite sharing features with skeletal muscle, the conservation of underlying cellular hierarchy with human muscle development and the identification of molecularly-defined tumor-propagating cells have not been reported. Using single-cell RNA sequencing of patient-derived RMS, DNA-barcode cell fate mapping, and antibody enrichment and functional stem cell assays using in vitro culture and mouse xenografts, we have uncovered tumor cell hierarchies in Fusion-negative (FN-) RMS that are shared with normal human muscle development. We also identified common developmental stages at which tumor cells become arrested. FN-RMS resemble early muscle found in embryonic and larval development, while fusion-positive (FP-)RMS express a highly specific developmental gene program found in muscle cells transiting from embryonic to fetal development at 7-7.75 weeks of age. FP-RMS also have neural-pathway enriched cell states, suggesting less-rigid adherence to muscle development hierarchies in this disease. Finally, we identify a molecularly-defined tumor-propagating cell in FN-RMS that shares remarkable similarity to the newly described bi-potent, muscle mesenchyme stem/progenitor cell that makes both muscle and osteogenic cells.

Negative correlation of Pax3:Foxo1 expression at the single-cell-level with tumorigenic potential in rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:In mouse Myf6Cre,Pax3:Foxo1,p53 rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cells, expression of Pax3:Foxo1 (P3F) is directed by the Pax3 promoter and coupled to an eYFP fluorescent marker. YFPlow/P3Flow mouse RMS cells differentially expressed transcripts involved in extracellular matrix interaction, reorganized their actin cytoskeleton to promote adhesion/ migration and exhibited higher tumor-propagating capacity in limiting dilution analyses.
