Hi-C for genome-wide detection of enhancer-hijacking rearrangements in routine clinical biopsies of lymphoid cancers

ABSTRACT: We performed Hi-C retrospectively on archival formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue biopsies of lymphoid cancers to explore the utility of Hi-C for comprehensively identifying enhancer-hijacking oncogene rearrangements in routine clinical samples. Our data shows that FFPE-compatible Hi-C retains state-specific topological features of tumor cells at gene loci associated with germinal center B cell or plasma cell state and comprehensively detects rearrangements genome-wide with high concordance against prior clinical testing. Hi-C additionally reveals enhancer-promoter interactions consistent with enhancer-hijacking across rearrangement breakpoints at recurrent, uncommon, and diversely-rearranging loci, and provides topological information to support the interpretation of these events that is not provided by alternative routine clinical assays such as FISH.

Detection of Enhancer-Associated Rearrangements Reveals Mechanisms of Oncogene Dysregulation in B-cell Lymphoma [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:B-cell lymphomas frequently demonstrate inter-chromosomal translocations that lead to oncogene activation by heterologous distal regulatory elements. We utilized a novel approach, termed ‘Pinpointing of Enhancer-Associated Rearrangements by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation’ or PEAR-ChIP, to simultaneously map enhancer activity and proximal rearrangements in lymphoma cell lines and patient biopsies. The method efficiently detects rearrangements within and adjacent to known cancer genes such as CCND1, BCL2, MYC, PDCD1LG2, NOTCH1, CIITA, and SGK1, as well as novel enhancer duplication events of likely oncogenic significance. We identify novel enhancer-like elements in the MYC locus that interact with the MYC promoter, are associated with germline polymorphisms that alter lymphoma risk, show lymphoma subtype-specific acetylation, and are silenced in lymphomas where MYC is activated by “enhancer hijacking” translocations. We also identify an array of BCL6-interacting enhancers that are subject to genomic alterations, are acetylated by the BCL6-activating transcription factor MEF2B, and target the MYC promoter in the context of a “pseudo-double-hit” t(3;8) genomic rearrangement linking the BCL6 and MYC loci. Our findings uncover diverse mechanisms by which genomic rearrangements can lead to aberrations in enhancer-mediated oncogene regulation.

Genome-wide detection of enhancer-hijacking events from chromatin interaction data in rearranged genomes

Project description:Recent efforts have shown that structural variations (SVs) can disrupt three-dimensional genome organization and induce enhancer hijacking, yet no computational tools exist to identify such events from chromatin interaction data. Here, we develop NeoLoopFinder, a computational framework to identify the chromatin interactions induced by SVs, including interchromosomal translocations, large deletions and inversions. Our framework can automatically resolve complex SVs, reconstruct local Hi-C maps surrounding the breakpoints, normalize copy number variation and allele effects and predict chromatin loops induced by SVs. We applied NeoLoopFinder in Hi-C data from 50 cancer cell lines and primary tumors and identified tens of recurrent genes associated with enhancer hijacking. To experimentally validate NeoLoopFinder, we deleted the hijacked enhancers in prostate adenocarcinoma cells using CRISPR–Cas9, which significantly reduced expression of the target oncogene. In summary, NeoLoopFinder enables identification of critical oncogenic regulatory elements that can potentially reveal therapeutic targets.

Dynamic-network-guided CRISPRi screen identifies CTCF loop-constrained 1 nonlinear enhancer-gene regulatory activity in cell state transitions

Project description:Enhancers play key roles in gene regulation. However, comprehensive enhancer discovery is challenging because most enhancers, especially those affected in complex diseases, have weak effects on gene expression. Through gene regulatory network modeling, we identified that dynamic cell state transitions, a critical missing component in prevalent enhancer discovery strategies, can be utilized to improve the cells’ sensitivity to enhancer perturbation. Guided by the modeling results, we performed a mid-transition CRISPRi-based enhancer screen utilizing human embryonic stem cell definitive endoderm differentiation as a dynamic transition system. The screen discovered a comprehensive set of enhancers (4 to 9 per locus) for each of the core lineage-specifying transcription factors (TFs), including many enhancers with weak to moderate effects. Integrating the screening results with enhancer activity measurements (ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq) and three-dimensional enhancer-promoter interaction information (CTCF looping, Hi-C), we were able to develop a CTCF loop-constrained Interaction Activity (CIA) model that can better predict functional enhancers compared to models that rely on Hi-C-based enhancer-promoter contact frequency. Together, our dynamic network-guided enhancer screen and the CIA enhancer prediction model provide generalizable strategies for sensitive and more comprehensive enhancer discovery in both normal and pathological cell state transitions.

Robust detection of translocations in lymphoma FFPE samples using Targeted Locus Capture-based sequencing - NGS targeted capture control cohort

Project description:In routine diagnostic pathology, cancer biopsies are preserved by Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedding (FFPE) procedures for examination of (intra-) cellular morphology. Such procedures inadvertently induce DNA fragmentation, which compromises sequencing-based analyses of chromosomal rearrangements. Yet, rearrangements drive many types of hematolymphoid malignancies and solid tumors, and their manifestation is instructive for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Here, we present FFPE-Targeted Locus Capture (FFPE-TLC) for targeted sequencing of proximity-ligation products formed in FFPE tissue blocks, and PLIER, a computational framework that allows automated identification and characterization of rearrangements involving selected, clinically-relevant, loci. FFPE-TLC, blindly applied to 149 lymphoma and control FFPE samples, identifies the known and novel rearrangement partners. It outperforms fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in sensitivity and specificity, and shows clear advantages over standard capture-NGS methods, finding rearrangements involving repetitive sequences which they typically miss. FFPE-TLC is therefore a powerful clinical diagnostics tool for accurate targeted rearrangement detection in FFPE specimens.

FFPEcap-seq: a method for sequencing capped RNAs in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples

Project description:The majority of clinical cancer specimens are preserved as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples. In order for clinical molecular tests to have wide reaching impact, they must be applicable to FFPE material. Accurate quantitative measurements of RNA derived from FFPE specimens is challenging due to low yields and high amounts of degradation. Here we present FFPEcap-seq, a method specifically designed for sequencing capped 5’ ends of RNA derived from FFPE samples. FFPEcap-seq combines enzymatic enrichment of 5’ capped RNAs with template switching to create sequencing libraries. We find that FFPEcap-seq can faithfully capture mRNA expression levels in FFPE specimens while also detecting enhancer RNAs that arise from distal regulatory regions. FFPEcap-seq is a fast and straightforward method for making high quality 5’ end RNA-seq libraries from FFPE-derived RNA.

3D genomics analysis identifies enhancer hijacking caused by structural alterations and extrachromosomal circular DNA formation [HiChIP]

Project description:Enhancer hijacking, caused by structural alterations, is a common cancer driver event that causes aberrant expression of oncogenes. Unfortunately, enhancer hijacking is difficult to detect due to the complexity of the cancer genome. Here we propose a simple yet robust strategy HAPI (Highly Active Promoter Interactions) to identify and characterize such events by following two rules: 1) oncogenes subject to enhancer hijacking should be potentially highly regulated by enhancers, 2) the hijacked enhancers should contribute an appreciable proportion of an oncogene’s overall enhancer activity. Applying this strategy to HiChIP data we and others generated in 34 cancer cell lines, we identified known enhancer hijacking events and uncovered novel enhancers hijacked by known or potentially novel oncogenes such as CCND1, ETV1, ID4, and NKX2-5, which we validated using CRISPRi assays and RNA-seq analysis. Furthermore, we found that complex enhancer hijacking events connecting genes and enhancers from multiple chromosomal segments are often caused by the formation of extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA). Focusing on ecDNAs harboring the MYC oncogene, one of the most common gene targets of ecDNA, we found that these ecDNAs often stitch additional genes such as CDX2, ERBB2, and NFIB from other chromosomes to the MYC locus. These genes heavily hijack MYC enhancers for their activation, a novel insight into ecDNA biology, suggesting alternative therapeutic targets for MYC ecDNAs. Our study provides an efficient strategy to detect enhancer hijacking events, and more importantly reveals novel mechanisms underlying oncogene activation caused by simple or complex structural alterations.
