CpG Hypermethylation and WNT/AP-1 cooperativity Define the Epigenetic Landscape and a Clinical Subgroup of High-Risk Pediatric Adrenocortical Carcinoma [cell line]

ABSTRACT: Treatment of two adult ACC cell lines (H295R and CU-ACC1) with the HDAC inhibitor entinostat led to consistent dose-dependent reductions in viability, outperforming the DNA demethylating agent decitabine. scRNA-seq analyses revealed global transcriptional reprogramming. This included downregulation of AP-1 transcription factors (FOS, JUND, JUNB), suppression of oxidative phosphorylation and steroidogenic pathways, and increased expression of pro-apoptotic genes. These findings support entinostat's potential to reverse high-risk epigenetic programs in pACT and highlight HDAC inhibition as a promising therapeutic avenue, particularly when combined with established treatments.
