Project description:CoREST complexes (LSD1, HDAC1/2 and RCoR1/2/3) are pivotal in neurodevelopment and have long been recognized as transcriptional repressors across various cancers. However, distinct roles of RCoR factors remain underexplored. Here, we unveil non-canonical functions of RCoR2 in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma (NB), underscoring its unique significance compared to its paralogues. This insight shifts the paradigm, highlighting RCoR2 as a key determinant of the NB chromatin landscape. Our findings demonstrate that RCoR2 is a super-enhancer driven gene, which, unlike RCoR1, acts as a positive regulator of gene expression as a partner of the adrenergic NB core regulatory circuitry (CRC). We propose a model in which RCoR2 facilitates interactions between CRC-bound enhancers and their associated transcription start sites, thereby sustaining the expression of genes critical for neuroblastoma cell survival. Thus, we identify RCoR2 as a critical vulnerability in high-risk neuroblastoma and a promising target for cancer therapeutics.

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of bone formation is a complex network of active proteins and their cofactors. Recent developments in calcified tissue research have revealed several important pathways of epigenetic regulation leading to transcriptional changes in bone cells. Rest Corepressor 2 (Rcor2) is a coregulator of Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (Lsd1), a demethylase linked to osteoblast activity, hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and malignancy of different neoplasms. However, the role of Rcor2 in osteoblast differentiation has not yet been examined in detail. We have previously shown that Rcor2 is highly expressed in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and particularly in the osteoblastic lineage. The role of Rcor2 in osteoblastic differentiation in vitro was further characterized and we demonstrate here that lentiviral silencing of Rcor2 in MC3T3-E1 cells led to a decrease in osteoblast differentiation, as shown by decreased alkaline phosphatase and von Kossa stainings as well as by decreased expression of several osteoblast-related marker genes. RNA-sequencing of the Rcor2-downregulated MC3T3-E1 cells revealed decreased repression of Rcor2 target genes, as well as significant upregulation of majority of the differentially expressed genes. While the heterozygous, global loss of Rcor2 in vivo did not lead to a detectable bone phenotype, conditional deletion of Rcor2 in limb-bud mesenchymal cells led to a moderate decrease in cortical bone volume, which was not accentuated by challenging bone formation by ovariectomy or tibial fracture. Furthermore, a global deletion of Rcor2 led to decreased amount of white adipose tissue in vivo and decreased the capacity of primary cells to differentiate into adipocytes in vitro, while the conditional deletion led to decreased adiposity in fracture calluses. Taken together, these results suggest that epigenetic regulation of mesenchymal stromal cell differentiation is mediated by Rcor2, which could thus play an important role in defining the MSC fate.
