A unifying gene signature for adenoid cystic cancer identifies parallel MYB-dependent and MYB-independent therapeutic targets (mRNA)

ABSTRACT: MYB activation is proposed to underlie development of adenoid cystic cancer (ACC), an aggressive salivary gland tumor with no effective systemic treatments. To discover druggable targets for ACC, we performed global mRNA/miRNA analyses of 12 ACC with matched normal tissues, and compared these data with 14 mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) and 11 salivary adenocarcinomas (ADC). We detected a unique ACC gene signature of 1160 mRNAs and 22 miRNAs. MYB was the top-scoring gene (18-fold induction), however we observed the same signature in ACC without detectable MYB gene rearrangements. We also found 4 ACC tumors (1 among our 12 cases and 3 from public databases) with negligible MYB expression that retained the same ACC mRNA signature including over-expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes. Integration of this signature with somatic mutational analyses suggests that NOTCH1 and RUNX1 participate with MYB to activate ECM elements including the VCAN/HAPLN1 complex. We observed that forced MYB-NFIB expression in human salivary gland cells alters cell morphology and cell adhesion in vitro and depletion of VCAN blocked tumor cell growth of a short-term ACC tumor culture. In summary, we identified a unique ACC signature with parallel MYB-dependent and independent biomarkers and identified VCAN/HAPLN1 complexes as a potential target.

Retinoic acid suppresses MYB in adenoid cystic carcinoma [RNA-seq]

Project description:Translocations that drive overexpression of the oncogenic transcription factor MYB are molecular hallmarks of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), a malignant salivary gland tumor. Surgical resection, whenever possible, is the standard therapy for ACC, but there are no available therapeutic options available if surgery fails. Here we performed a chemical genetic screen using a zebrafish embryo culture system and identified retinoic acid agonists as potent suppressors of c-myb. Retinoic acid treatment strongly decreased c-myb gene expression in U937 cells and suggested a direct transcriptional mechanism of regulation. Retinoic acid agonists strongly inhibited tumor growth in vivo in different ACC patient derived xenograft models. Analysis of the xenografts revealed a significant decrease in MYB binding at translocated enhancers, thereby disrupting the MYB positive feedback loop that drives ACC. Our findings identify an important role of retinoic acid in MYB regulation and as a potential new effective therapy for ACC.

Xenograft model systems of adenoid cystic carcinoma

Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is one of the most common malignancies that arise in the salivary glands, with an incidence of 4.5 per 1,000,000. It can also arise in glandular tissue closely related to salivary glands in the lacrimal gland, nasal passages and tracheobronchial tree, as well as in glands of the breast and vulva. At all of these sites, it is characterized by a distinctive histology of basaloid epithelial cells arranged in cribriform or tubular patterns, usually demonstrating abundant hyaline extracellular matrix secretion and some degree of myoepithelial differentiation. ACC is generally a slow-growing tumor characterized by a protracted clinical course, usually well over 5 years in duration, marked by regional recurrence, distant metastasis and/or spread along peripheral nerves. A recurrent chromosomal translocation, t(6;9)(q23;p21), has been identified in ACC, and recently it has been discovered that in a majority of ACC the MYB gene on chromosome 6 is fused to the 3’ terminus of the NFIB gene on chromosome 9, creating a fusion gene product resulting in increased MYB-related transcriptional activation. Recently it has been determined that most cell lines with attribution of ACC derivation are either contaminants of other cell lines or do not have the characteristic MYB-NFIB translocation. Also, there are no animal models of this histologically and genetically defined tumor type. To address the paucity of experimental and pre-clinical models systems of ACC, we have for several years been establishing xenograft tumor lines from clinical samples of ACC. We describe our experience with these models and their characterization here. Analysis of 12 xenografts of human adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) along with 10 samples of ACC directly from humans. Note, that 12 of these samples are paired primary ACC & xenograft ACC from the same individual (6 pairs in total).

An oncogenic MYB feedback loop drives alternate cell fates in adenoid cystic carcinoma

Project description:Translocation events are frequent in cancer and may create chimeric fusions or ‘regulatory rearrangements’ that drive oncogene overexpression. Here we identify super-enhancer translocations that drive overexpression of the oncogenic transcription factor MYB as a recurrent theme in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Whole-genome sequencing data and chromatin maps reveal distinct chromosomal rearrangements that juxtapose super-enhancers to the MYB locus. Chromosome conformation capture confirms that the translocated enhancers interact with the MYB promoter. Remarkably, MYB protein binds to the translocated enhancers, creating a positive feedback loop that sustains its expression. MYB also binds enhancers that drive different regulatory programs in alternate cell lineages in ACC, cooperating with TP63 in myoepithelial cells and a Notch program in luminal epithelial cells. Bromodomain inhibitors slow tumor growth in ACC primagraft models in vivo. Thus, our study identifies super-enhancer translocations that drive MYB expression and provides insight into downstream MYB functions in the alternate ACC lineages.

Cell-type-specific tumour sensitivity identified with a bromodomain targeting PROTAC in adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Project description:Salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with limited treatment options. The development of novel therapies is hindered by a lack of preclinical models. We have generated several ACC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) lines that retain the physical and genetic properties of the original tumours, including the presence of the common MYB/MYBL1-NFIB translocation. Using these PDXs, we have developed the conditions for the generation of 2D and 3D ACC models that retain MYB expression and can be used for drug studies. Using these models, we show in vitro and in vivo sensitivity of ACC cells to the bromodomain degrader, dBET6. Molecular studies show a decrease in BRD4 and MYB protein levels and target gene expression with treatment. The most prominent effect of dBET6 on tumours in vivo was a change in the relative composition of ACC cell types expressing either myoepithelial or ductal markers. We show that dBET6 inhibits the progenitor function of ACC cells, particularly in the myoepithelial marker-expressing population, revealing a cell-type-specific sensitivity. These studies reveal a novel mechanistic impact of bromodomain inhibitors on tumours and highlight the need to impact both cell-type populations for more effective treatments in ACC patients.

Integrated, genome-wide screening for hypomethylated oncogenes in salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma

Project description:Salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy amongst head and neck tumors that is poorly understood on a molecular level. We sought to perform a comprehensive approach for novel oncogene candidate screening under the control of promoter methylation in order to learn more about the molecular basis of this unusual disease. We performed global demethylation of normal salivary gland cell strains using 5-aza-deoxycytidine (5-Aza dC) and trichostatin (TSA). Expression arrays were performed, and the profiles of treated and untreated cells compared. We then used expression microarray analysis of primary ACC and normal salivary gland samples to generate ACC-specific expression profiling. Next, we integrated the two profiles to identify a subset of genes for further validation of decreased methylation in the promoter region in ACC vs normals. Finally, only genes that showed decreased methylation in ACC compared to normal were further validated for mRNA, protein, and promoter methylation levels in a larger ACC cohort.

Expression data after knockdown of MYB-NFIB and IGF1R/INSR inhibition in ACC cells

Project description:The MYB-NFIB gene is a driver-mutation in the majority of adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACCs) and believed to control a large number of genes involved in tumorigenesis. This experiment investigates the effects on gene expression after siRNA knock-down of MYB-NFIB and/or inhibition of IGF1R/INSR signaling in ACC cells.
