MYC regulates a DNA repair gene expression program in small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type

ABSTRACT: SCCOHT is an aggressive and often fatal cancer that belongs to the ~20% of all cancers defined by mutations to subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. In SCCOHT, mutations to the SMARCA4 gene, which encodes the SWI/SNF ATPase BRG1, is sufficient to impair SWI/SNF function. This single genetic lesion leads to a cascade of events that promote tumorigenesis, some of which may involve the intersection of SWI/SNF with oncogenic pathways such as those regulated by the MYC oncogene. In SCCOHT tumors and other cancers like it, MYC target genes are recurrently activated, pointing to a relationship between SWI/SNF, BRG1, and MYC that has yet to be fully explored. In this study we investigate the contribution of MYC to SCCOHT biology through chromatin binding and transcriptome analysis performed in genetically engineered cell lines and patient tumor data. We find that MYC binds to thousands of active promoters in the BIN-67 cell line, and that depletion of MYC results in a broad range of gene expression changes with a notable effect on expression of genes related to DNA repair. We identify a MYC-regulated DNA repair gene expression program in BIN-67 cells that is oppositely regulated by BRG1 in an ATPase-independent manner. Finally, we uncover a DNA repair gene signature that is glaringly upregulated in SCCOHT tumors and in tumors defined by loss of the SWI/SNF subunit, SNF5. Collectively, these data implicate MYC as a robust regulator of DNA repair gene expression in SCCOHT and lay a foundation for future studies focused on interrogating the relationship between BRG1 and MYC.

Re-expression of SMARCA4/BRG1 in Small Cell Carcinoma of Ovary, Hypercalcemic Type (SCCOHT) promotes an epithelial-like gene signature through an AP-1-dependent mechanism

Project description:Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. SCCOHT tumors have inactivating mutations in SMARCA4 (BRG1), one of the two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. To address the role that BRG1 loss plays in SCCOHT tumorigenesis, we performed integrative multi-omic analyses in SCCOHT cell lines +/- BRG1 re-expression. BRG1 re-expression induced a gene and protein signature similar to an epithelial cell and gained chromatin accessibility sites correlated with other epithelial originating TCGA tumors. Furthermore, AP-1 motifs were enriched at the promoters of highly upregulated epithelial genes. Using a dominant negative AP-1 cell line, we found that both AP-1 DNA binding activity and BRG1 re-expression are necessary for the gene and protein expression of epithelial genes. Our study demonstrates that BRG1 re-expression drives an epithelial-like gene and protein signature in SCCOHT cells that depends upon AP-1 activity.

Role of SWI/SNF in acute leukemia maintenance and enhancer-mediated Myc regulation [array]

Project description:Cancer cells frequently depend on chromatin regulatory activities to maintain a malignant phenotype. Here, we show that leukemia cells require the mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex for their survival and aberrant self-renewal potential. While Brg1, an ATPase subunit of SWI/SNF, is known to suppress tumor formation in several cancer types, we found that leukemia cells instead rely on Brg1 to support their oncogenic transcriptional program, which includes Myc as one of its key targets. To account for this context-specific function, we identify a cluster of lineage-specific enhancers located 1.7 megabases downstream of Myc that are occupied by SWI/SNF, as well as the BET protein Brd4. Brg1 is required at these distal elements to maintain transcription factor occupancy and for long-range chromatin looping interactions with the Myc promoter. Notably, these distal Myc enhancers coincide with a region that is focally amplified in 3% of acute myeloid leukemia. Together, these findings define a leukemia maintenance function for SWI/SNF that is linked to enhancer-mediated gene regulation, providing general insights into how cancer cells exploit transcriptional coactivators to maintain oncogenic gene expression programs In order to understanding the transcription regulation network downstream of Brg1 in murine AML, we performed microarray in murine MLL-AF9/NrasG12D cell line under the condition that Brg1 was suppressed by three independent shRNAs for 96h.

The SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex helps resolve R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts

Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers are commonly mutated in human cancer. Mammalian SWI/SNF complexes comprise three conserved multi-subunit chromatin remodelers (cBAF, ncBAF and PBAF) that share the BRG1 (also known as SMARCA4) subunit responsible for the main ATPase activity. BRG1 is the most frequently mutated Snf2-like ATPase in cancer. Here we have investigated the role of SWI/SNF in genome instability, a hallmark of cancer cells, given its role in transcription, DNA replication and DNA damage repair. We show that depletion of BRG1 increases R-loops and R-loop-dependent DNA breaks, as well as transcription-replication conflicts. BRG1 colocalizes with R-loops and replication fork blocks, as determined by FANCD2 foci, with BRG1 depletion being epistatic to FANCD2 silencing. Our study, extended to other components of SWI/SNF, uncovers a key role of the SWI/SNF complex, in particular cBAF, in helping resolve R-loop-mediated transcription-replication conflicts; thus, unveiling a novel mechanism by which chromatin remodeling protects genome integrity.

To define the rapid downregulated genes in response to JQ1, BET bromodomian inhibitor, in RN2 cell, we performed RNA-seq in RN2 exposing to 250nM JQ1 for 48h time course.

Role of SWI/SNF in acute leukemia maintenance and enhancer-mediated Myc regulation (4C-seq)

Project description:Cancer cells frequently depend on chromatin regulatory activities to maintain a malignant phenotype.

In order to study chromosome conformation of Myc locus and potential distal enhancer E1-E5 region in murine AML cells, we utilize the high resolution 4C-seq and analysis pipeline to search cis elements that physical interact with Myc and E1-E5 region through setting up two individual viewpoints in these two regions.

Protein-protein interactions of BRG1 or BRG1-HSA in SW13 cells

Project description:The SWI/SNF complex remodels chromatin in an ATP-dependent manner through the ATPase subunits BRG1 and BRM. Chromatin remodeling alters nucleosome structure to change gene expression, however aberrant remodeling and gene expression can result in cancer. The function and localization on chromatin of the SWI/SNF complex depends on the protein makeup of the complex. Here we report the protein-protein interactions of wild-type BRG1 or mutant BRG1 in which the HSA domain has been deleted (BRG1-HSA). We demonstrate the interaction of BRG1 with most SWI/SNF complex members and a failure of a number of these members to interact with BRG1-HSA. These results demonstrate that the HSA domain of BRG1 is a critical interaction platform for the correct formation of SWI/SNF remodeling complexes.

Our study demonstrates that the BRG1 re-expression drives an epithelial-like gene and protein signature in SCCOHT cells that depends upon by AP-1 activity.
