Single-cell RNA-sequence data of clinical small cell lung cancer samples

ABSTRACT: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is known for its high metastatic potential, with most patients demonstrating clinically evident metastases in multiple organs at diagnosis. The factors contributing to this exceptional metastatic capacity have not been defined. To bridge this gap, we compared gene expression in SCLC patient samples who never experienced metastasis or relapse throughout their clinical course, versus primary SCLC patient samples from more typical patients who had metastatic disease at diagnosis. This analysis identified FOXA2 as a transcription factor strongly associated with SCLC metastasis. Subsequent analyses in experimental models demonstrated that FOXA2 induces a fetal neuroendocrine gene expression program and promotes multi-site metastasis. Moreover, we identified ASCL1, a transcription factor known for its initiating role in SCLC tumorigenesis, as a direct binder of the FOXA2 promoter and regulator of FOXA2 expression. Taken together, these data define the ASCL1-FOXA2 axis as a critical driver of multiorgan SCLC metastasis.

ASCL1-ChiP sequence data of small cell lung cancer cell lines

Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is known for its high metastatic potential, with most patients demonstrating clinically evident metastases in multiple organs at diagnosis. The factors contributing to this exceptional metastatic capacity have not been defined. To bridge this gap, we compared gene expression in SCLC patient samples who never experienced metastasis or relapse throughout their clinical course, versus primary SCLC patient samples from more typical patients who had metastatic disease at diagnosis. This analysis identified FOXA2 as a transcription factor strongly associated with SCLC metastasis. To clarify the contribution of ASCL1 with the interaction with FOXA2, we performed ATAC-seq on clinical FFPE samples, and PDX samples to analyze the chromatin accessibility in FOXA2+ and FOXA2- state. Furthermore, we confirmed the binding of ASCL1 by ChiP-sequence.

Identify FOXA2-interacting proteins in NEPC cells

Project description:Following extensive treatment with androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibitors, a significant number of metastatic prostate cancer develop treatment resistance, and approximately 20% of these castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC) transdifferentiate, at least partially, into neuroendocrine (NE) prostate cancer (NEPC).In human cancer, FOXA2 is highly expressed in most of NEPC and a small portion of CRPC patients, has been suggested as a marker of NEPC and elevated in other NE lineage cancers including SCLC. In addition, preclinical studies demonstrated that Foxa2 is required for NEPC tumor growth and metastasis in TRAMP mouse model and associated with NEPC transformation in Pten, Trp53, and Rb1 triple knockout mouse model. However, whether FOXA2 is an essential driver of NEPC, and the underlying mechanism in shaping epigenetic landscape of NEPC is largely unknown.

ASCL1 represses a SOX9+ neural-crest-stem-like state in small cell lung cancer

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 cells of origin. Genetic depletion of ASCL1 in MYC-driven SCLC dramatically inhibits tumor initiation and progression to the NEUROD1+ subtype of SCLC. Surprisingly, ASCL1 loss promotes a SOX9+ mesenchymal/neural-crest-stem-like state and the emergence of bone and more rarely, cartilaginous tumors. ASCL1 is critical for expression of key lineage-related transcription factors NKX2-1, FOXA2, and INSM1, and represses regulators of Hippo, Wnt and Notch developmental pathways in vivo. ASCL1 also represses SOX9 expression in human SCLC cells, suggesting a conserved function for ASCL1. Here, we utilize single-cell RNA sequencing to capture transcriptomic signatures of RPM (Rb1/Trp53/Myc), RPR2 (Rb1/Trp53/Rbl2), and RPMA (Rb1/Trp53/Myc/Ascl1) GEMM tumors to support our conclusion that in MYC-driven SCLC, ASCL1 promotes neuroendocrine fate and represses the emergence of SOX9+ non-endodermal stem-like or mesenchymal fates. These data were integrated with 4 additional invasive RPM tumors from NCBI GEO: GSE149180.

Lineage transcription factors ASCL1, NKX2-1, and PROX1 are enriched at super enhancers and co-regulate subtype-specific genes in small cell lung cancer [HiCHIP]

Project description:Heterogeneity between tumors is a major barrier to the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Identification of molecular markers to characterize and classify tumors can facilitate the diagnosis and development of targeted therapies. Here, we analyzed genomic regions, called super enhancers (SE), across multiple SCLC cell lines and patient-derived xenograft models, and find SE enrichment is sufficient to classify SCLC models into recently defined SCLC molecular subtypes SCLC-A, SCLC-N, and SCLC-P defined by the transcription factors ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3, respectively. 3D chromatin structure analysis identified genes associated with the SE that assemble into subtype-specific tumor-signatures with genes functioning in diverse processes. Focusing on the SCLC-A subtype, transcription factors NKX2-1 and PROX1 were identified as ASCL1-interacting proteins. All three factors bind overlapping genomic regions within SEs in SCLC-A cell line models. Nevertheless, combined loss of all three factors suppresses growth of SCLC-A similar to that seen with ASCL1 loss alone, continuing to place ASCL1 as a key dependency factor in a subset of SCLC. Focusing on genes co-regulated by the three transcription factors, two SCLC-A subtype-specific cell surface proteins, SCN3A and KCNB2, were identified. Loss of either channel alone did not disrupt SCLC-A growth in vitro, but they may serve as diagnostic tools in subtyping SCLC.

Inhibition of Karyopherin β1-mediated nuclear import of lineage-defining TFs in small cell lung cancer

Project description:Extensive genomic studies support the classification of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) into subtypes based on expression of lineage-defining transcription factors including ASCL1 and NEUROD1, which together account for ~80% of this disease. ASCL1 and NEUROD1 activate SCLC oncogene expression and drive distinct transcriptional programs. ASCL1 is also required for tumorigenesis in SCLC mouse models, and both ASCL1 and NEUROD1 maintain the in vitro growth and oncogenic properties of ASCL1+ or NEUROD1+ SCLC cell lines. Strategies to inhibit ASCL1 and NEUROD1 may therefore represent an attractive, targeted SCLC therapy and provide a tool to investigate the underlying plasticity of the predominant SCLC subtypes. However, ASCL1 and NEUROD1 have long been considered “undruggable” vulnerabilities. Here, we use a proteomic approach to identify Karyopherin β1 (KPNB1) as a nuclear import receptor for ASCL1 and NEUROD1 in SCLC, and demonstrate that the inhibition of KPNB1 using a variety of genetic or pharmacological approaches leads to impaired ASCL1 and NEUROD1 nuclear accumulation and transcriptional activity. Pharmacological targeting of KPNB1 preferentially disrupts ASCL1/NEUROD1+ SCLC cell line growth in vitro and ASCL1+ tumor growth in an in vivo patient derived xenograft (PDX) model of SCLC.
