The genetics of splicing in neuroblastoma

ABSTRACT: Regulation of mRNA splicing is a critical and tightly regulated cellular function, underlying the majority of proteomic diversity in our genomes. While disruption of this process is common in disease, the basic genetic complexity of alternative splicing in vivo remains poorly understood. To delineate the splicing landscape in disease, we used an integrative genomics approach and combined both genome and exon level transcriptome data in two somatic tissues (cerebella and peripheral ganglia) from a transgenic mouse model of neuroblastoma, a tumor that arises from peripheral ganglia. These data identify splicing quantitative trait loci (sQTL) that modulate differential splicing across the genome. Among these, an sQTL at FUBP1 revealed a splicing event that modulated levels of the MYC oncoprotein in human neuroblastoma-derived cell lines and correlated with outcome in neuroblastoma. Through this unbiased sQTL analysis, we also define de novo splicing motifs that serve as sites for recurrent mutations in cancer and lead to functional changes in exon expression, enhancing our understanding of the cancer genome.

Exon expression from Superior Cervical Ganglia and Cerebellum from 102 backcrossed mice (TH-MYCN, FVB/NJ and 129/SvJ) were correlated with 349 genotyping markers to identify putative sQTL The mice were the N1 generation of a backcross between TH-MYCN (FVB/NJ background) and wild-type 129/SvJ: TH-MYCN (FVB/NJ) + 129/SvJ -> F1 (TH-MYCN FVB/NJ,129/SVJ) F1 (TH-MYCN FVB/NJ,129/SVJ) + 129/SvJ -> N1

Expression analysis of superior cervical ganglion from backcrossed TH-MYCN transgenic mice

Project description:Neuroblastoma susceptibility in TH-MYN mice is heavily influence by mouse strain background. We have combined linkage analysis of tumor susceptibility with expression QTL analysis of superior cervical ganglia (pure peripheral symptathetic nervous tissue) to identify genes underlying tumor formation The development of targeted therapeutics for neuroblastoma, the third most common tumor in children, has been limited by a poor understanding of growth signaling mechanisms unique to the peripheral nerve precursors from which tumors arise. In this study, we combined genetics with gene expression analysis in the peripheral sympathetic nervous system to implicate arginase 1 and GABA signaling in tumor formation in vivo. In human neuroblastoma cells, activation of GABA-A receptors by a benzodiazepine induced apoptosis and inhibited mitogenic signaling through AKT and MAPK. These results suggest that GABA influences both neural development and neuroblastoma, and that benzodiazepines in clinical use may have potential for neuroblastoma therapy. 224 backcrossed mice were genotyped at 349 markers to identify susceptibility loci for neuroblastoma. Gene expression from Superior Cervical Ganglia from 116 of these mice were correlated with genotyping data to identify putative eQTL.

FUBP1 is a core splicing factor that facilitates 3' splice site recognition and splicing of long introns [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Splicing is a central process in metazoans and greatly expands their proteome by alternative splicing of pre-mRNA transcripts. An essential regulatory step during early spliceosome assembly is the recognition of cis-regulatory RNA motifs in pre-mRNAs. Here, we identified the RNA binding protein FUBP1 as a novel core splicing factor with a ubiquitous footprint on pre-mRNAs. FUBP1 binds to a previously unknown cis-regulatory motif upstream of the branch point of human introns. We show that FUBP1 binds and stabilises known 3' splice site components such as the essential splicing factor U2AF2. FUBP1 mutant cell lines and patient data indicate that FUBP1 is particularly relevant for efficient splicing of exons flanked by long introns. In addition to its role at the 3’ splice site, FUBP1 shows multiple interactions with U1 snRNP- associated proteins. This demonstrates an important role for FUBP1 in splice site bridging in the context of long introns.

Exon array analysis reveals neuroblastoma tumors have distinct alternative splicing patterns according to stage and MYCN amplification status

Project description:This dataset contains Human Exon 1.0 ST Array data from 47 neuroblastoma samples In this study, we used exon array profiling to investigate global alternative splicing pattern of 47 neuroblastoma samples in stage 1 and stage 4 with normal or amplified MYCN copy number (stage 1-, 4- and 4+).

A mutation in a splicing factor that causes retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has a transcriptome-wide effect on mRNA splicing

Project description:Background: Substantial progress has been made in the identification of sequence elements that control mRNA splicing and the genetic variants in these elements that alter mRNA splicing (referred to as splicing quantitative trait loci -- sQTLs). Genetic variants that affect mRNA splicing in trans are harder to identify because their effects can be more subtle and diffuse, and the variants are not co-located with their targets. We carried out a transcriptome-wide analysis of the effects of a mutation in a ubiquitous splicing factor that causes retinitis pigmentosa (RP) on mRNA splicing, using exon microarrays. Results: Exon microarray data was generated from whole blood samples obtained from four individuals with a mutation in the splicing factor PRPF8 and four sibling controls. Although the mutation has no known phenotype in blood, there was evidence of widespread differences in splicing between cases and controls (affecting between 10\% and 25\% of exons). Most probesets with significantly different inclusion (defined as the expression intensity of the exon divided by the expression of the corresponding transcript) between cases and controls had higher inclusion in cases and corresponded to exons that were shorter than average, AT-rich, located towards the 5' end of the gene and flanked by long introns. Introns flanking affected probesets were particularly depleted for the shortest category of introns, associated with splicing via intron definition. Conclusions: Our results show that a mutation in a splicing factor, with a phenotype that is restricted to retinal tissue, acts as a trans-sQTL cluster in whole blood samples. Characteristics of the affected exons suggest that they are spliced co-transcriptionally and via exon definition. Eight samples consisting of four sibling pairs were analysed. One individual in each pair harboured an RP-causing mutation on the PRPF8 gene (cases). Unaffected siblings were used as controls.

Polyclonal lymphoid expansion drives paraneoplastic autoimmunity in neuroblastoma [TCR-Seq]

Project description:Two percent of children with Neuroblastoma, a pediatric solid tumor of the peripheral nerve ganglia, develop Opsoclonus Myoclonus Ataxia Syndrome (OMAS), a paraneoplastic disease characterized by devastating cerebellar and brainstem-directed autoimmunity, but typically with outstanding cancer-related outcomes. Here, we compared tumor transcriptomes and tumor infiltrating T- and B-cell repertoires from a cohort of OMAS subjects with neuroblastoma to a set of controls from 13 low- and 13 high-risk non-OMAS associated neuroblastoma tumors.
