Establishment of tractable human iPSC-based models for the study and targeting of glioma initiation (ChIP-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Gliomas can originate upon transformation of adult Neural Progenitor Cells (NPCs) to Tumor Initiating Cells (TICs). Studies on human Glioma TICs (GTICs) have focused on the use of primary tumors from which GTICs could be isolated. Therefore investigations on the driver events underlying NPC transformation and human glioma initiation remain limited to the use of human embryonic material. Here we report on the development of strategies for the modeling of human gliomagenesis based on the use of human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs). Transformation of hiPSC-derived NPCs (iNPCs) by defined genetic alterations led to the establishment of tractable human GTIC models suitable for studying the early steps of gliomagenesis as well as for screening studies. Dysregulation of PI3K, MAPK and p53 signaling in iNPCs led to the acquisition of functional GTIC properties. In vivo transplantation led to the formation of highly aggressive, infiltrative and heterogeneous tumors upon limited dilutions and secondary transplantation, faithfully recapitulating gliomagenesis. Metabolic modulation by chemical approaches compromised GTIC viability. Pilot screening of 101 anti-cancer compounds identified 3 molecules specifically targeting transformed iNPCs and primary GTICs. Together, our results demonstrate the potential of hiPSCs for the functional testing of putative driver mutations underlying human tumorigenesis and pave new avenues for the development of personalized cancer therapeutics.

Modeling kidney development, disease, and plasticity with clonal expandable nephron progenitor cells and nephron organoids

Project description:Nephron progenitor cells (NPCs) self-renew and differentiate into nephrons, the functional units of the kidney. Here we report manipulation of p38 and YAP activity creates a synthetic niche that allows the long-term clonal expansion of primary mouse and human NPCs, and induced NPCs (iNPCs) from human pluripotent stem cells. Cultured iNPCs resemble closely primary human NPCs, generating nephron organoids with abundant distal convoluted tubule cells, which are not observed in published kidney organoids. The synthetic niche reprograms differentiated nephron cells into NPC state, recapitulating the plasticity of developing nephron in vivo. Scalability and ease of genome-editing in the cultured NPCs allow for genome-wide CRISPR screening, identi-fying novel genes associated with kidney development and disease. A rapid, efficient, and scala-ble organoid model for polycystic kidney disease was derived directly from genome-edited NPCs, and validated in drug screen. These technological platforms have broad applications to kidney development, disease, plasticity, and regeneration.

Genome-wide activation of a glioma cancerous transcription program and super-enhancers by a single enhancer HOXDeRNA [ChIP-seq]

Project description:A growing number of studies describe multiple functions of lncRNAs in chromatin that support their active roles in normal and disease-specific gene expression. We identified a specific enhancer-associated LINC01116 (named HOXDeRNA), which targeted activation transformed human astrocytes into glioma-like cells. Using a combination of RNA-Seq, ChIRP-Seq, and ChIP-Seq, we defined the transcriptomic and epigenetic changes underlying the transformation. We demonstrate that HOXDeRNA binds in trans to the promoters of 44 glioma-specific transcription factors distributed throughout the genome and derepresses them by removing the Polycomb 2 complex. This process is mediated by the RNA G-quadruplex structure of HOXDeRNA. Moreover, HOXDeRNA-induced astrocyte transformation is accompanied by the activation of glioma-specific super-enhancers enriched for binding sites of glioma master transcription factors SOX2 and OLIG2, and multiple oncogenes such as EGFR, PDGFR, BRAF, and miR-21. Our results help reconstruct the sequence of events underlying the process of astrocyte transformation and suggest a driving role of HOXDeRNA eRNA in gliomagenesis.

Expression comparison of mutant EGFR-driven gliomas with relapse tumors upon mutant EGFR ablation

Project description:To determine the roles of oncogenic EGFR signaling in gliomagenesis and tumor maintenance, we generated a novel glioma mouse model driven by inducible expression of a mutant EGFR (EGFR*). Genetic suppression of EGFR* induction led to significant tumor regression and prolonged survival. But in spite of the initial response, the tumors relapsed invariably and propagated independent of EGFR*. We used microarrys to directly compare geen expression of control and relapse tumors and identified gene sets specifically activated in relapse tumors. Control and relasped glioma samples upon mutant EGFR extinction were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of iNPCs induced by 6 or 5 TFs

Project description:To clarify the gene expression profile of iNPC, microarray analysis was performed using iNPCs induced by 6 TFs (Pax6, Hmga2, Etv6, Gatad2b, Nfxl1, and Esx1) and 5 TFs (Esx1 was omitted from 6 TFs). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering indicated that iNPC is expressing a global transcriptional profile more similar to that of NPCs rather than that of MEFs, and suggested that the TFs present in the pool acted as inducing TFs. iNPCs were induced from MEF using 6 or 5 transcription factors. iNPCs were induced from MEF (MEFSH, derived from mice carrying IRES-Hygro in Sox allele) using retroviral vectors (pMXs-IRESNeo) of 6 or 5 transcription factors. Four weeks after the infection, Hygromycin was added and cultured for 1 week before the harvest. NSBAg2 and NSEB5-2C were used for the data of NPC. GSM396240 and GSM336010 were used for the data of ESC.GSM651349 and GSM336011 were used for the data of MEF.

Atrx facilitate normal neuronal differentiation

Project description:Purpose: the chromatin-remodeler ATRX is frequently mutated in a range of human malignancies including pediatric and adult gliomas, and its loss underlies induction of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway for chromosome-end maintenance. But how ATRX exters its glioma suppresor role remains unclear. Here, we combine RNAi and somatic deletion approaches to demonstrate ATRX as a glioma suppressor controlling neural differentiation. Loss of ATRX promotes gliomagenesis by blocking neuronal progenitors from undergoing terminal maturation. Our findings provide the molecular and cellular mechanism underline ATRX's function in gliomagenesis.
