Basal cell of origin resolves neuroendocrine-tuft lineage plasticity in cancer [Single cell RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Neuroendocrine and tuft cells are rare, chemosensory epithelial lineages defined by expression of ASCL1 and POU2F3 transcription factors, respectively. Neuroendocrine cancers, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC), frequently display tuft-like subsets, a feature linked to poor patient outcomes. The mechanisms driving neuroendocrine–tuft tumour heterogeneity, and the origins of tuft-like cancers are unknown. Using multiple genetically-engineered animal models of SCLC, we demonstrate that a basal cell of origin (but not the accepted neuroendocrine origin) generates neuroendocrine–tuft-like tumours that highly recapitulate human SCLC. Single-cell clonal analyses of basal-derived SCLC further uncovers unexpected transcriptional states and lineage trajectories underlying neuroendocrine–tuft plasticity. Uniquely in basal cells, introduction of genetic alterations enriched in human tuft-like SCLC, including high MYC, PTEN loss, and ASCL1 suppression, cooperate to promote tuft-like tumours. Transcriptomics of 944 human SCLCs reveal a basal-like subset and a tuft-ionocyte-like state that altogether demonstrate remarkable conservation between cancer states and normal basal cell injury response mechanisms. Together, these data suggest that the basal cell is a plausible origin for SCLC and other neuroendocrine-tuft cancers that can explain neuroendocrine–tuft heterogeneity—offering new insights for targeting lineage plasticity.

Distinct Function for ASCL1 and NEUROD1 in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) are high-grade pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors. The neural basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors ASCL1 and NEUROD1 have been shown to play crucial roles in promoting the malignant behavior and survival of human SCLC cell lines. In this study, we find ASCL1 and NEUROD1 identify distinct neuroendocrine tumors, bind distinct genomic loci, and regulate mostly distinct genes. ASCL1 and NEUROD1 are often bound in super-enhancers that are associated with highly expressed genes in their respective SCLC cell lines suggesting different cell lineage of origin for these tumors. ASCL1 targets oncogenic genes such as MYCL1, RET, and NFIB, while NEUROD1 targets the oncogenic gene MYC. Although ASCL1 and NEUROD1 regulate different genes, many of these gene targets commonly contribute to neuroendocrine and cell migration function. ASCL1 in particular also regulates genes in the NOTCH pathway and genes important in cell-cycle dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate ASCL1 but not NEUROD1 is required for SCLC and LCNEC tumor formation in current in vivo genetic mouse models of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors ChIP-seq analysis performed on three ASCL1high and two NEUROD1high human SCLC cell lines to identify ASCL1 and/or NEUROD1 binding sites in these two types of cells. Also, we performed ChIP-seq for Ascl1 binding sites in mouse neuroendocrine lung tumors obtained from Trp53;Rb1;Rbl2 triple knockout model mice treated with Adeno-CMVCRE intratracheally.

MYC drives temporal evolution of small cell lung cancer subtypes by reprogramming neuroendocrine fate [Single Cell RNA seq on RPM time-series cells and 4 RPM bulk tumors]

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a neuroendocrine tumor treated clinically as a single disease with poor outcomes. Distinct SCLC molecular subtypes have been defined based on expression of lineage-related transcription factors: ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3 or YAP1, but their origins remain unknown. Here, we develop an in vitro model of MYC-driven SCLC tumor cell progression and perform a time-series analysis of single-cell transcriptome profiling to reveal that MYC drives the dynamic evolution of SCLC subtypes. Analyses of these single-cell RNA seq data reveal that MYC promotes a temporal shift from an Ascl1-to-Neurod1-to-Yap1+ state from a neuroendocrine cell of origin. They also support our findings that MYC activates Notch signaling to dedifferentiate tumor cells to non-neuroendocrine fates. Additional single-cell RNA sequencing of 4 bulk Rb1/Trp53/MycT58A (RPM) tumors reveal individual tumors to consist of cells at nearly every stage of RPM tumor evolution modeled in vitro. Together, these single-cell RNA sequencing data place 3 of 4 SCLC subtypes on a defined trajectory and suggest that genetics, cell of origin, and tumor cell plasticity determine SCLC subtype.

MYC drives temporal evolution of small cell lung cancer subtypes by reprogramming neuroendocrine fate [Bulk RNA-seq of RPM time-series cells]

Project description:Distinct SCLC molecular subtypes have been defined based on expression of lineage-related transcription factors: ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3 or YAP1, but their origins remain unknown. To study transcriptional dynamics of MYC-driven tumor evolution and compare transcriptional states to human SCLC tumors, we performed bulk RNA-sequencing on various timepoints of Rb1/Trp53/MycT58A (RPM) tumor cells (from Ad-Cgrp-Cre infected mice) as they progress in culture. These bulk RNA-seq data of the RPM time-series cells complement time-series analysis of single-cell transcriptome profiling of similar timepoints and ultimately reveal that MYC drives the dynamic evolution of SCLC subtypes. We find that MYC promotes a temporal shift from an ASCL1-to-NEUROD1-to-YAP1+ state from a neuroendocrine cell of origin. MYC activates Notch signaling to dedifferentiate tumor cells to non-neuroendocrine fates. These findings support our overall conclusions that genetics, cell of origin, and tumor cell plasticity determine SCLC subtype.

MYC drives temporal evolution of small cell lung cancer subtypes by reprogramming neuroendocrine fate [Human SCLC biopsy]

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a neuroendocrine tumor treated clinically as a single disease with poor outcomes. Distinct SCLC molecular subtypes have been defined based on expression of lineage-related transcription factors: ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3 or YAP1, but their origins remain unknown. We developed an in vitro model of MYC-driven SCLC tumor cell progression, and performed a time-series analysis of single-cell transcriptome profiling to reveal that MYC drives the dynamic evolution of SCLC subtypes.

MYC activates Notch signaling to dedifferentiate tumor cells to non-neuroendocrine fates. Additional single-cell RNA sequencing of 4RPM tumors reveal individual tumors to consist of cells at nearly every stage of RPM tumor evolution modeled in vitro. With the single-cell RNA sequencing of this human SCLC liver biopsy, along with IHC on a panel of 21 human biopsies, we show that human SCLC exhibits intratumoral SCLC subtype heterogeneity, suggesting this dynamic evolution occurs in patient tumors. Together, these single-cell RNA sequencing data support our conclusions that genetics, cell of origin, and tumor cell plasticity determine SCLC subtype.

MYC drives temporal evolution of small cell lung cancer subtypes by reprogramming neuroendocrine fate [Bulk RNA-seq of RPM and RPR2 tumors]

Project description:Distinct SCLC molecular subtypes have been defined based on expression of lineage-related transcription factors: ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3 or YAP1, but their origins remain unknown. We perform bulk RNA-sequencing on SCLC tumors from RPM and Rb1/Trp53/Rbl2 (RPR2) GEMMs, initiated by CGRP-Cre, to complement time-series analysis of single-cell transcriptome profiling and reveal that MYC drives the dynamic evolution of SCLC subtypes. MYC promotes a temporal shift from an ASCL1-to-NEUROD1-to-YAP1+ state from a neuroendocrine cell of origin. MYC activates Notch signaling to dedifferentiate tumor cells to non-neuroendocrine fates. Sequenced RPM tumors driven by MycT58A, in comparison to RPR2 tumors associated with high Mycl, have increased intratumoral subtype heterogeneity by bulk-seq, single-cell RNA seq, and IHC compared to RPR2 tumors. In RPM tumors with high MYC, tumors are able to proceed to non-NE subtypes resembling the NEUROD1+ and YAP1+ human SCLC subtypes. These findings support our overall conclusions that genetics, cell of origin, and tumor cell plasticity determine SCLC subtype.

Small Cell Lung Cancer Subtype Plasticity is Regulated by KDM6A/UTX [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Using a CRISPR-based autochthonous SCLC GEMM to study the consequences of KDM6A/UTX inactivation, we found that KDM6A inactivation induced plasticity from ASCL1 to NEUROD1 resulting in SCLC tumors with open chromatin at the NEUROD1 promoter that express both ASCL1 and NEUROD1. Mechanistically, KDM6A binds and maintains ASCL1 target genes in an active chromatin state with its loss decreasing H3K4me1 and increasing H3K27me3 at enhancers of neuroendocrine genes leading to a cell state that is primed for ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype switching. This work identifies KDM6A as an epigenetic regulator that controls ASCL1 to NEUROD1 subtype plasticity and provides a novel autochthonous SCLC GEMM to model ASCL1 and NEUROD1 subtype heterogeneity and plasticity, which is found in 35-40% of human SCLCs.

ASCL1 represses a latent osteogenic program in small cell lung cancer in multiple cells of origin [RNA-Seq]

Project description:ASCL1 is a neuroendocrine-lineage-specific oncogenic driver of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), highly expressed in a significant fraction of tumors. However, ~25% of human SCLC are ASCL1-low and associated with low-neuroendocrine fate and high MYC expression. Using genetically-engineered mouse models (GEMMs), we show that alterations in Rb1/Trp53/Myc in the mouse lung induce an ASCL1+ state of SCLC in multiple cell types. Genetic depletion of ASCL1 in MYC-driven SCLC dramatically inhibits tumor initiation, but surprisingly converts tumors to a SOX9+mesenchymal/neural-crest-stem-like state that has the capacity to differentiate into RUNX2+bone tumors. ASCL1 represses SOX9 expression, as well as WNT and NOTCH developmental pathways, consistent with human gene expression data. SCLC demonstrates remarkable cell fate plasticity with ASCL1 repressing the emergence of non-endodermal stem-like fates that have the capacity for bone differentiation. Here we perform bulk RNA sequencing on RPMA tumor samples to compare gene expression patterrns with RPM tumors with intact ASCL1.
