PPARG governs adipogenic differentiation and cell state plasticity in well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma

ABSTRACT: Well-differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (WD/DD LPS) represent a pathological continuum, often coexisting within the same tumor. While the dedifferentiated component is clinically aggressive, marked by rapid growth and metastatic potential, the evolutionary relationship between WD and DD LPS remains unknown. To investigate this, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing on matched WD and DD tumor regions. Both compartments shared a predominant population of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, but only WD regions contained cells expressing adipocytic differentiation markers and PPARG target genes. Given the central role of PPARG in coordinating lipid metabolism during adipogenesis, these findings suggest that loss of this program may underlie the poorly differentiated, proliferative phenotype of DD LPS. Functional studies confirmed that PPARG activation in DD LPS cells induces lipid accumulation, reduces proliferation, and impairs tumor growth in vivo. These support a model in which impaired adipogenic differentiation underlies DD LPS pathology and identify PPARG as a potential therapeutic target to promote differentiation and suppress tumor progression.

Cellular origin and clonal evolution of human dedifferentiated liposarcoma

Project description:Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is the most frequent high-grade soft tissue sarcoma subtype. It is characterized by a component of undifferentiated tumor cells coexisting with a component of well-differentiated adipocytic tumor cells. Both dedifferentiated (DD) and well-differentiated (WD) components exhibit MDM2 amplification, however their cellular origin remains elusive. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and functional assays in paired WD and DD components from primary DDLPS tumors, we characterized the cellular heterogeneity of DDLPS tumor and micro-environment. We identified a population of tumor adipocyte stem cells (ASC) showing striking similarities with adipocyte stromal progenitors found in white adipose tissue. We show that tumor ASC harbor the ancestral genomic alterations of WD and DD components, suggesting that both derive from these progenitors following clonal evolution. Last, we show that DD tumor cells keep important biological properties of ASC including pluripotency and that their adipogenic properties are inhibited by a TGF-β high immunosuppressive tumor micro-environment.

Epigenetic profiling of well differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma identifies H3K9me3 and Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) as determinants of aggressiveness in sarcoma (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Little is known about the epigenomics of liposarcoma (LPS). Here, we profiled the global expression of 9 epigenetic marks in well differentiated (WD) and dedifferentiated (DD) LPS from 151 patients and found increased H3K9me3 among DDLPS tumors. We performed ChIP-seq and gene expression profiling of patient derived cell lines to discover functionally significant regions of differential H3K9me3 enrichment between WDLPS and DDLPS associated with concomitant gene expression changes. We performed genome-wide transcriptional profiling of H3K9me3 in dedifferentiated liposarcoma DDLPS and well differentiated liposarcoma WDLPS cell lines.

Genomic profiling of matched well differentiated and de-differentiated liposarcoma.

Project description:Well-differentiated (WD) and de-differentiated (DD) liposarcoma, subtypes of adipocytic sarcomas, are pathologically and clinically dissimilar, but are poorly distinguishable at the molecular level. These tumors harbor neochromosomes formed from amplifications and rearrangements of chr12q. Nineteen selected patients with matched WD and DD tumors underwent extensive exomic and transcriptomic profiling to distinguish genomic features between the two subtypes. Shared point mutations suggest a common tumor origin and de-differentiated tumors have higher burdens of deletions.

The G-Quadruplex experimental drug QN-302 effectively impairs liposarcoma cell viability by inhibiting MDM2 expression and restoring p53 levels [RNA-seq]

Project description:Well-differentiated (WD) and dedifferentiated (DD) liposarcomas (LPS) account for ~60% of all liposarcomas, characterized by 12q13–q15 region amplification and aberrant MDM2 expression. Current therapies are limited, particularly for advanced stages, leading to poor outcomes. G-quadruplexes (G4s), secondary structures in G-rich nucleic acid sequences, were identified in the MDM2 P2 promoter. We investigated MDM2 inhibition via small molecule G4 ligands. Laboratory and patient-derived LPS cell lines, and normal pre-adipocytes were analyzed using CUT&Tag, RNA-seq, cell viability, qRT-PCR, Western blot, siRNA, and nascent transcript assays. QN-302, a naphthalene diimide (NDI)-derivative, emerged as the most effective G4 ligand, significantly impairing WD/DDLPS cell growth in a dose-dependent manner by stabilizing MDM2 G4 at the P2 promoter, inhibiting polymerase progression, and reducing full-length MDM2 transcripts, leading to p53 accumulation and apoptotic cell death. In vivo, QN-302 reduced tumor volume and was well-tolerated in xenograft models. This novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit MDM2 and reactivate p53 in WD/DDLPS could extend to all tumors with wild-type TP53 and enhance anticancer efficacy when combined with other drugs.

Integrated epigenomic analysis identifies structural alterations associated with oncogenic gene expression in liposarcoma

Project description:Liposarcoma (LPS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in adults. The two most frequent subtypes well differentiated (WD) and dedifferentiated (DD) LPS are often marked with the giant chromosome and the amplifications of chromosome 12q13-15. However, it remains unknown how this genomic aberrancy contributes to the dysregulation of the oncogenes. Here, we reported a comprehensive molecular characterization of both tumor and normal tissues from the same batch of LPS patients, including Hi-C, H3K27ac ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and WGS datasets. We identified a library of tumor-specific enhancers that may play a critical role in oncogenesis. We also demonstrated the enhancer co-amplification and hijacking events involved with proto-oncogenes such as MDM2, CDK4 and HMGA2, which have not been previously reported and as a novel mechanism to upregulate these genes. By combining Hi-C, optical mapping, Nanopore long reads and WGS data, we partially resolved complex structure variations (SVs) and reconstructed the local genome and the giant chromosome. We further validated the presence of multiple copies of MDM2 and CDK4 are located on the giant chromosome by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Consequently, this study provides a comprehensive resource for further research in LPS.
