Targeting CDK12 disrupts estrogen-receptor chromatin recruitment and ER-MED1 transcription in advanced ER+ breast cancer [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) regulates general gene transcription elongation, and plays multiple roles in RNA splicing, DNA damage-response, cell cycle and genomic stability. However, transcriptional partners that guide CDK12-specific gene programs have not been identified. Genomic alterations in CDK12 have been observed in multiple cancers, exhibiting both pro-tumorigenic and tumor-suppressive functions, suggesting a context-dependent mechanism of action. This work describes a novel mechanism for CDK12, suggesting a potential vulnerability in ER+ breast cancer. CDK12 amplifications and gene overexpression were observed in brain metastatic tumors. In ER+ primary patient tumors, high CDK12 protein expression significantly associated with poor overall survival, particularly within the ER+/HER2-negative group. In ER+ endocrine resistant models, CDK12 regulated estrogen signaling pathways, with ER/MED1 identified as the master transcriptional complex directing CDK12-specific pro-tumorigenic gene programs. Pharmacological inhibition of CDK12 significantly reduced viability in endocrine resistant and metastatic cell and organoid models in vitro, and decreased metastatic spread in vivo. These findings provide a basis for further investigation into the role of CDK12 inhibition as a therapeutic approach, particularly in advanced disease settings.

RNA-sequencing for dynamic epi-transcriptomic landscape mapping with disease progression in ER-positive breast cancer

Project description:Advanced breast cancer is characterised by enhanced tumour adaptability to therapeutic pressure and the metastatic microenvironment. Transcriptome differences in three ER positive (ER+) cell models are uncovered through this RNA-seq analysis of MCF7 (endocrine sensitive), LY2 (endocrine resistant) and T347 (derived from an ER-positive, treatment resistant brain metastatic patient tumour) cells.

MeRIP-sequencing for dynamic epi-transcriptomic landscape mapping with disease progression in ER-positive breast cancer

Project description:Advanced breast cancer is characterised by enhanced tumour adaptability to therapeutic pressure and the metastatic microenvironment. Targeting epi-transcriptomic modulators may reverse cellular adaptability, offering new therapeutic strategies to treat metastatic disease. This study looks into the dynamic adaptations that occur in cancer cells in response to therapeutic pressure and metastatic evolution by profiling mRNA epi-transcriptomic modifications in models of disease progression. ER positive (ER+) cell models were used to represent progressive breast cancer, MCF7 (endocrine sensitive), LY2 (endocrine resistant) and T347 (derived from an ER-positive, treatment resistant brain metastatic patient tumour) cells. MeRIP sequencing was undertaken to determine genome-wide RNA methylated regions.

Epigenetic therapy suppresses tumour growth by rewiring ER-mediated long-range chromatin interactions in ER+ endocrine-resistant breast cancer [PCHiC]

Project description:Here we investigate the impact of epigenetic therapy with Decitabine in endocrine-resistant ER+ breast cancer by using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. Decitabine treatment restrained tumour growth, inhibited cell proliferation and resulted in significant loss of DNA methylation, particularly at enhancers and repetitive elements. Systematic integration of matched in situ Hi-C / PCHi-C, EPIC, RNA-seq and ChIP–seq datasets revealed widespread differences in epigenome regulation and enhancer-promoter communication with Decitabine. We find that loss of DNA methylation with Decitabine strongly affects the open (A) and closed (B) compartment structure and TAD boundary insulation. Our study identified and focused on key DNA methylation-dependent, enhancer ER binding sites that are activated in Decitabine-treated PDX tumours, enabling direct interactions between promoters and multiple distal enhancers, inducing expression of ER target genes and pathways. Overall, we demonstrate that epigenetic therapy inhibits tumour progression through to rewiring of ER-mediated 3D chromatin interactions and transcriptome programs. Our findings suggest that targeting the 3D epigenome with epigenetic therapies represents a promising strategy for anti-cancer treatment in ER+ endocrine resistant breast cancer patients.

Isolation and characterization of a metastatic hybrid cell line generated by ER negative and ER positive breast cancer cells in mouse bone marrow

Project description:The origin and the contribution of breast tumor heterogeneity to its progression are not clear. We investigated the effect of a growing orthotopic tumor formed by an aggressive estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer cell line on the metastatic potential of a less aggressive ER-positive breast cancer cell line for the elucidation of how the presence of heterogeneous cancer cells might affect each other’s metastatic behavior. ER positive ZR-75-1/GFP/puro cells, resistant to puromycin and non-tumorigenic/non-metastatic without exogenous estrogen supplementation, were injected intracardiacally into mice bearing growing orthotopic tumors, formed by ER negative MDA-MB-231/GFP/Neo cells resistant to G418. A variant cell line B6, containing both estrogen-dependent and -independent cells, were isolated from GFP expressing cells in the bone marrow and re-inoculated in nude mice to generate an estrogen-independent cell line B6TC.
