Single-cell data for FGFR3-driven gene regulatory network analysis reveals a pro-tumoral role for p63 in luminal bladder tumors

ABSTRACT: FGFR3 (Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3) is one of the most frequently altered genes in bladder cancer, primarily through activating mutations that drive oncogenesis and are enriched in luminal tumors. However, the underlying gene regulatory network (GRN) remains poorly characterized. Here, we inferred an FGFR3-mutated GRN using a bottom-up bioinformatics approach, integrating transcriptomic data from bladder cancer cell lines, FGFR3-mutated tumors, and FGFR3-perturbation experiments in human and mouse models. Using CRISPR-Cas9 screen public data, we identified transcription factors (TFs) from this GRN that regulate the viability of FGFR3-mutated cells, with a focus on p63 (TP63). We showed that FGFR3 activation upregulates p63 in patient-derived xenografts and cell lines, while single-cell RNA sequencing revealed heterogeneous p63 activation associated with basal differentiation. Functional studies, including TP63 knock-down in FGFR3-dependent in vitro and in vivo models and RNA-seq along with p63 ChIP-seq, demonstrated that p63 directly promotes cell proliferation and migration, and uncovered a positive feedback loop between FGFR3 and p63. Together, these findings identified p63 as a pro-tumorigenic regulator in FGFR3 mutated tumors despite their luminal differentiation and provide a detailed FGFR3-driven GRN, offering insights into FGFR3-induced oncogenic dependency and potential strategies to circumvent resistance to FGFR inhibitors.

Gene expression data from FGFR3 induced mouse bladder tumors

Project description:Somatic mutations of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) are one of the most frequent genetic alterations in bladder carcinomas. We report here that human-FGFR3-S249C expression in urothelial cells of transgenic mice induces low-grade papillary tumors presenting genomic instability and resembling human pTa urothelial tumors at the transcriptomic level. Mutated-FGFR3 expression levels impacted the incidence of tumor formation and could account for the tissue specificity of human mutated FGFR3-driven tumors restricted to epithelia presenting high normal expression levels of FGFR3.

Loss of UTX/KDM6A and the activation of FGFR3 converge to regulate differentiation gene expression programs in bladder cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Bladder cancer prognosis is closely linked to the underlying differentiation state of the tumor, ranging from the less aggressive and most differentiated luminal tumors to the more aggressive and least differentiated basal tumors. Sequencing of bladder cancer has revealed that loss-of-function mutations in chromatin regulators and mutations that activate receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling frequently occur in bladder cancer. However, little is known as to whether and how these two types of mutations functionally interact or cooperate to regulate tumor growth and differentiation state. Here, we focus on loss of the histone demethylase UTX (also known as KDM6A) and activation of the RTK FGFR3, two events that commonly co-occur in muscle invasive bladder tumors. We show that UTX loss and FGFR3 activation cooperate to disrupt the balance of luminal and basal gene expression in bladder cells. UTX localized to enhancers surrounding many genes that are important for luminal cell fate, and supported the transcription of these genes in a catalytic-independent manner. In contrast to UTX, FGFR3 activation was associated with lower expression of luminal genes in tumors and FGFR inhibition increased transcription of these same genes in cell culture models. This suggests an antagonistic relationship between UTX and FGFR3. In support of this model, UTX loss-of-function potentiated FGFR3-dependent transcriptional effects and the presence of UTX blocked an FGFR3-mediated increase in the colony formation of bladder cells. Taken together, our study reveals how mutations in UTX and FGFR3 converge to disrupt bladder differentiation programs that could serve as a therapeutic target.

Gene expression data from MGH-U3 following FGFR3 knock-down using FGFR3 siRNAs

Project description:To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying altered-FGFR3 oncogenic activity in bladder carcinomas, we made use of MGH-U3 cell lines, which were derived from a human bladder tumor and endogenously expressed a mutated activated form of FGFR3 (FGFR3-Y375C), the growth and transformation of these cell lines being dependent on activated-FGFR3 activity. We conducted a gene expression analysis using Affymetrix DNA arrays in this cell line treated or not with FGFR3 siRNAs.

FGFR3-shRNA induced transcriptional changes in RT112 bladder cancer cells

Project description:Aberrant activation of FGFR3 via overexpression or mutation is a frequent feature of bladder cancer; however, its molecular and cellular consequences and functional relevance to carcinogenesis are not well understood. In this study with a bladder carcinoma cell line expressing inducible FGFR3 shRNAs, we sought to identiy transcriptional targets of FGFR3 and investigate their contribution to bladder cancer development. Bladder cancer cell line RT112 was transduced with a doxycycline-inducible control EGFP shRNA or three independent FGFR3 shRNAs, designated FGFR3 shRNA 2-4, FGFR3 shRNA 4-1 and FGFR3 shRNA 6-16. These four cell lines were treated with or without doxycycline for 48 hr to deplete FGFR3 protein prior to the isolation of mRNA for microarray analysis. Genes that were differentially expressed after doxycycline induction in all three FGFR3-depleted cell lines but not in the control cell line were considered potential FGFR3-regulated genes. Each treatment group was run in triplcates, and there are 24 samples.
