The tumour suppressor STAG2 cooperates with DREAM to maintain quiescence in the urothelium [Hi-C]

ABSTRACT: The maintenance of quiescence is essential for tissue homeostasis. STAG2 is one of the few genes mutated in the normal urothelium of organ donors, with mutant cells undergoing positive selection 1. STAG2 is also a major tumour suppressor gene 2–4 and its inactivation is an early event in bladder carcinogenesis 1,3. However, the mechanisms through which STAG2, a cohesin component, disrupt urothelial homeostasis remain largely unknown. Here, we show that, in normal murine urothelial cells, Stag2 inactivation disrupts differentiation programs, induces a transient cell cycle entry, and primes cells for clonal expansion under stress conditions. In addition, STAG2 loss in urothelial cells expressing mutant FGFR3 —the most important bladder cancer oncogene 5— enhances tumour formation. For the first time, we show that STAG2 co-operates with the transcriptional complex DREAM, a master regulator of quiescence 6,7, binding to common genomic sites, including genes involved in cell cycle control. STAG2 loss results in changes in the expression of DREAM targets, its composition and chromatin distribution, and in the rewiring of chromatin interactions involving DREAM binding motifs in genes critical for cell cycle entry. Our findings provide strong evidence that STAG2 loss leads to changes in 3D genome organization through a novel mechanism involving the DREAM complex, leading to the disruption of homeostatic quiescence and oncogenic sensitivity.

Truncating mutations of STAG2 define a molecular subgroup of aneuploid bladder cancers with poor prognosis.

Project description:Aneuploidy is among the most common hallmarks of cancer, yet the underlying genetic mechanisms are still poorly defined. We have recently identified STAG2 as a gene that is mutated in human cancer and whose inactivation leads directly to chromosomal instability and aneuploidy. However, no single tumor type has yet been identified in which inactivation of a cohesin subunit represents a predominant mutational event. Here we used immunohistochemistry to screen a panel of 2,214 tumors from each of the major human tumor types to identify additional tumor types harboring somatic loss of STAG2. Strikingly, STAG2 expression was completely absent in 18% of urothelial carcinomas, the most common type of bladder cancer and the fifth most common cancer in the United States. DNA sequencing revealed that somatic mutations of STAG2 were present in 21% of urothelial carcinomas, which were found to be a group of highly aneuploid tumors. The acquisition of STAG2 mutations was shown to be an early event in the pathogenesis of urothelial carcinoma. STAG2 loss was significantly associated with lymph node invasion, increased disease recurrence, and reduced cancer-specific survival. These results identify STAG2 as one of the most commonly mutated genes in bladder cancer discovered to date, and demonstrate that STAG2 inactivation defines an aggressive subtype of bladder cancer with particularly poor prognosis. Affymetrix CytoScan HD Arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on genomic DNA extracted directly from snap-frozen human urothelial carcinoma primary tumors. Copy number analysis using Affymetrix CytoScan HD Arrays was performed for 12 human urothelial carcinomas of the bladder with truncating mutations of the STAG2 gene.

Frequent truncating mutations of STAG2 in bladder cancer

Project description:Here we report the discovery of truncating mutations of the gene encoding the cohesin subunit STAG2, which regulates sister chromatid cohesion and segregation, in 36% of papillary non-invasive urothelial carcinomas and 16% of invasive urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. Our studies suggest that STAG2 has a role in controlling chromosome number but not the proliferation of bladder cancer cells. These findings identify STAG2 as one of the most commonly mutated genes in bladder cancer. Affymetrix CytoScan HD Arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on genomic DNA extracted directly from 12 snap-frozen human urothelial carcinoma primary tumors with somatic mutations of the STAG2 gene.

Lin37 is essential for repression of cell-cycle genes in quiescence

Project description:The DREAM complex represses cell-cycle gene transcription in quiescence. To investigate the role of the DREAM component Lin37, we created Lin37 knockout cells by CRISPR/Cas9-nickase. pRTS episomal vectors expressing luciferase or Lin37 were introduced in two independent knockout clones (411-27 and 632-2) to create Lin37 knockout and rescue cells. To exit the cell cycle and to enter quiescence, cells were serum starved for 60h. RNA-seq was applied to identify genes de-regulated by loss of Lin37 during quiescence.
