Eradicating neuroblastomas by an RBM39 degrader in combination with anti-GD2 immunotherapy regardless of cancer cell state alterations [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The lineage plasticity of neuroblastoma cells is defined by a mixture of two major cell states, adrenergic (ADRN) and mesenchymal (MES), which presumably contributes to therapy resistance. However, how the neuroblastoma cells switch their cell states during therapy remains largely unknown and how to eradicate neuroblastoma cells regardless of their cell state alterations is a clinical challenge. By using four distinct human and murine neuroblastoma models treated with indisulam, a molecular glue drug serving as a selective RBM39 degrader, we show that cancer cells not only can undergo bidirectional switch of ADRN and MES cell states, but also can acquire additional cell states of melanoma and Schwann cell progenitors, reminiscent of the cellular pliancy of neural crest cells. The lineage alterations of neuroblastoma cells are coupled with epigenetic changes and dependency switch of lineage-specific transcription factors. Nevertheless, indisulam treatment induces an inflamed tumor microenvironment leading to an immune cell infiltration. The combination of indisulam with anti-GD2 monoclonal immunotherapy results in a durable complete response in transgenic neuroblastoma models driven by MYCN and ALK mutant oncogenes, providing a therapeutic rationale to eradicate tumor cells even when they acquire alternative cell lineage(s) in response to treatment.

Transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling of adrenergic and mesenchymal neuroblastomas with cell state conversion [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Neuroblastoma accounts for 15% cancer related deaths in children, largely due to the disease relapse after multimodal therapy. Understanding the mechanism by which cancer cells acquire therapy resistance is critical to develop therapies for eradicating all cancer cells. Neuroblastoma are composed of two major cell states, adrenergic (ADRN) and mesenchymal (MES), which are presumed to interconvert and contribute to therapy resistance. To better understand the cell plasticity of neuroblastoma in chemoresistance, we repeatedly treated human and murine neuroblastoma models with indisulam, a molecular glue drug that selectively degrades RBM39, a splicing factor critical to neuroblastoma cell survival. until these tumors developed full resistance. We then generated transcriptomic data, ATAC-seq data, CUT&Tag for H3K27Ac from these tumors, and defined their cell state features. These datasets provided a comprehensive transcriptomic and epigenetic profiling on ADRN and MES neuroblastoma cells after they developed therapy resistance. Here, we provided a detailed description of these unique datasets to facilitate their reusing. We anticipate that these datasets are useful resources to understand the role of cell lineage switching in therapy resistance.

A NOTCH feed-forward loop drives reprogramming from adrenergic to mesenchymal state in neuroblastoma.

Project description:Transition between differentiation states in development occurs swift but the mechanisms leading to epigenetic and transcriptional reprogramming are poorly understood. The pediatric cancer neuroblastoma includes adrenergic (ADRN) and mesenchymal (MES) tumor cell types, which differ in phenotype, super-enhancers (SEs) and core regulatory circuitries. These cell types can spontaneously interconvert, but the mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we unravel how a NOTCH3 intracellular domain reprogrammed the ADRN transcriptional landscape towards a MES state. A transcriptional feed-forward circuitry of NOTCH-family transcription factors amplifies the NOTCH signaling levels, explaining the swift transition between two semi-stable cellular states. This transition induces genome-wide remodeling of the H3K27ac landscape and a switch from ADRN SEs to MES SEs. Once established, the NOTCH feed-forward loop maintains the induced MES state. In vivo reprogramming of ADRN cells shows that MES and ADRN cells are equally oncogenic. Our results elucidate a swift transdifferentiation between two semi-stable epigenetic cellular states.

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.

Effects of PP121/ bufalin-induced differentiation on gene expression of neuroblastoma SK-N-AS and GIMEN cells

Project description:Tumor cell heterogeneity in neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer arising from neural crest-derived progenitor cells, poses a significant clinical challenge. In particular, unlike adrenergic (ADRN) neuroblastoma cells, mesenchymal (MES) cells are resistant to chemotherapy and retinoid therapy and thereby significantly contribute to relapses and treatment failures. Previous research suggested that overexpression or activation of miR-124, a neurogenic microRNA with tumor suppressor activity, can induce the differentiation of retinoic acid-resistant neuroblastoma cells. Leveraging our established screen for miRNA modulatory small molecules, we validated PP121, a dual inhibitor of tyrosine and phosphoinositide kinases, as a robust inducer of miR-124. A combination of PP121 and miR-132-inducing bufalin synergistically arrests proliferation, induces differentiation, and prolongs the survival of differentiated MES SK-N-AS cells for 8 weeks. RNA-seq and deconvolution analyses revealed a collapse of the ADRN core regulatory circuitry (CRC) and the emergence of novel CRCs associated with chromaffin cells and Schwann cell precursors. Using a similar protocol, we differentiated and maintained other MES neuroblastoma, as well as glioblastoma cells, over 16 weeks. In conclusion, our novel protocol suggests a promising treatment for therapy-resistant cancers of the nervous system. Moreover, these long-lived, differentiated cells provide valuable models for studying mechanisms underlying differentiation, maturation, and senescence.

Exceptional response of high-risk neuroblastoma to RBM39 degrader Indisulam (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:Indisulam selectively bridges splicing factor RBM39 to DCAF15 for proteasomal degradation. However, clinical trials indicate that patient stratification based upon the mechanism of action of indisulam may be required to achieve the best response. Here we show that neuroblastoma, a MYC-driven cancer characterized by splicing dysregulation, requires RBM39 for survival, expresses high levels of DCAF15 among different solid tumor lineages, and is the most sensitive cancer lineage to indisulam that achieves therapeutic effect by specifically targeting RBM39 in neuroblastoma. Genetic depletion or proteasomal degradation of RBM39 by indisulam induces drastic splicing event changes in neuroblastoma cells. Through specifically targeting RBM39, indisulam induces exceptional tumor response in multiple high-risk neuroblastoma models. Collectively we demonstrate that high RBM39 dependency and high-level expression of DCAF15 provide indisulam a more efficacious therapeutic window to treating high-risk neuroblastoma.
