Regulatory landscape fusion in rhabdomyosarcoma by interactions between the PAX3 promoter and FOXO1 regulatory elements

ABSTRACT: Results: Using a combination of 4C-seq datasets, we were able to model the three-dimensional organisation of the translocated chromosome in a PAX3:FOXO1 fusion-positive alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. We show that PAX3 and FOXO1 regulatory landscapes fuse into a novel TAD, allowing the PAX3 promoter to interact ectopically with FOXO1 sequences with potential enhancer function. The borders of this novel TAD correspond to the original 5'- and 3'- borders of the PAX3 and FOXO1 TADs, respectively, suggesting that TAD organisation precedes the formation of regulatory long-range interactions. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the chromosomal translocation that leads to ARMS development generates a novel TAD that favours ectopic PAX3:FOXO1 oncogene activation in non-PAX3 territories, which may be an essential step in the tumorigenic process, as expression in a particular cell type, the often elusive cell-of-origin, may be required for disease development.

Targeting KDM4B to disrupt the core regulatory transcription network governed by PAX3-FOXO1 in high-risk rhabdomyosarcoma [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Chimeric transcription factors drive lineage-specific oncogenesis but are notoriously difficult to target. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is an aggressive childhood soft tissue sarcoma, mainly driven by the pathognomonic PAX3–FOXO1, which governs a core regulatory circuitry transcription factor (CRC TF) network. Here we show that the histone lysine demethylase KDM4B is a therapeutic vulnerability to the PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS. Genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of KDM4B significantly delays tumor growth, disrupting the expression of CRC TFs in accordance with the alterations of PAX3–FOXO1-determining super enhancers. Combination of KDM4B inhibitor with cytotoxic chemotherapy leads to significant tumor regression in preclinical PAX3–FOXO1+ RMS models. In summary, we have identified a targetable epigenetic modifier required for the functions of PAX3–FOXO1, which may translate to a novel therapeutic approach for the high-risk RMS.

The role of insulators and transcription in 3D chromatin organisation of flies

Project description:The DNA in humans and many animals is compartmentalised in topologically associating domains (TADs). In Drosophila, several architectural proteins are enriched at TAD borders, but we are still missing evidence that these proteins have a functional role in TAD maintenance. Here, we show that depletion of BEAF-32, Cp190 and Chro leads to changes in TAD organisation and chromatin loops. Their depletion affects mainly TAD borders in heterochromatin, while euchromatin TAD borders are resilient to these mutants. Furthermore, transcriptomic data identified thousands of genes displaying differential expression in these mutants and that majority of differentially expressed genes are in TADs that are reorganised. In contrast, we observed a lower effect on gene expression by the loss of chromatin loops. Our work identified for the first time a functional role for architectural proteins at TAD borders in Drosophila and a strong link between TAD reorganisation and changes in gene expression.

PAX3-FOXO1 suppresses cellular senescence through RASSF4-mediated restraint of the mammalian Hippo/MST1 pathway

Project description:Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) is an aggressive sarcoma of skeletal muscle characterized by expression of the PAX3-FOXO1 fusion gene. Despite its discovery over almost 20 years ago, PAX3-FOXO1 remains an enigmatic tumor driver. Previously, we reported that PAX3-FOXO1 supports aRMS initiation by enabling bypass of cellular senescence. Here, we show that bypass occurs in part by PAX3-FOXO1-mediated upregulation of RASSF4, a Ras-association domain family (RASSF) member, which then suppresses the evolutionarily conserved mammalian Hippo/Mst1 pathway. RASSF4 loss-of-function activates Hippo/Mst1 and inhibits downstream YAP, causing aRMS cell cycle arrest and senescence. This is the first evidence for an oncogenic role for RASSF4, and a novel mechanism for Hippo signaling suppression in human cancer. Human skeletal muscle myoblasts (HSMMs) were retrovirally transduced with either an empty vector (Vp, pK1) or PAX3-FOXO1 (PFp, pK1-PAX3-FOXO1) and selected on puromycin. Presenescent (presen) cells were harvested before the senescence checkpoint. Since cells expressing PAX3-FOXO1 can bypass the senescence checkpoint, postsenescent (postsen) cells expressing PAX3-FOXO1 were also harvested. the gene expression affected by the introduction of PAX3-FOXO1

BioID HEK293T PAX3-FOXO1 proximity labelling

Project description:PAX3-FOXO1 is a fusion transcription factor that is the main driver of tumorigenesis leading to the development of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS). Since aRMS cells are addicted to PAX3-FOXO1 activity, the fusion protein also represents a major target for therapeutic interference, which is however challenging as transcription factors usually cannot be inhibited directly by small molecules. Hence, characterization of the biology of PAX3-FOXO1 might lead to the discovery of new possibilities for an indirect inhibition of its activity. Here, our goal was to characterize the proteomic neighborhood of PAX3-FOXO1 and to find candidates potentially affecting its activity and tumor cell viability. Towards this aim, we expressed BirA fused versions of PAX3-FOXO1 (N- and C-terminal) in HEK293T cells under presence of biotin. In the control setup, we expressed the BirA enzyme alone. After Streptavidin purification of biotinylated proteins, we performed mass spectrometry and quantified relative abundances compared to control conditions. This enabled us to determine PAX3-FOXO1 proximal proteins, which we investigated further in orthogonal endogenous systems.

M1BP cooperates with CP190 to activate transcription at TAD borders and promote chromatin insulator activity

Project description:Genome organization is driven by forces affecting transcriptional state, but the relationship between transcription and genome architecture remains unclear. Here, we identified the Drosophila transcription factor Motif 1 Binding Protein (M1BP) in physical association with the gypsy chromatin insulator core complex, including the universal insulator protein CP190. M1BP is required for enhancer-blocking and barrier activities of the gypsy insulator as well as its proper nuclear localization. Genome-wide, M1BP specifically colocalizes with CP190 at Motif 1-containing promoters, which are enriched at topologically associating domain (TAD) borders. M1BP facilitates CP190 chromatin binding at many shared sites and vice versa. Both factors promote Motif 1-dependent gene expression and transcription near TAD borders genome-wide. Finally, loss of M1BP reduces chromatin accessibility and increases both inter- and intra-TAD local genome compaction. Our results reveal physical and functional interaction between CP190 and M1BP to activate transcription at TAD borders and mediate chromatin insulator-dependent genome organization.

Piperacetazine directly binds to the PAX3::FOXO1 fusion protein and inhibits its transcriptional activity

Project description:The tumor-specific chromosomal translocation product, PAX3::FOXO1, is an aberrant fusion protein that plays a key role for oncogenesis in the alveolar subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). PAX3::FOXO1 represents a validated molecular target for alveolar RMS and successful inhibition of its oncogenic activity is likely to have significant clinical applications. Even though several PAX3::FOXO1 function-based screening studies have been successfully completed, a directly binding small molecule inhibitor of PAX3::FOXO1 has not been reported. Therefore, we screened small molecule libraries to identify compounds that were capable of directly binding to PAX3::FOXO1 protein using surface plasmon resonance technology. Compounds that directly bound to PAX3::FOXO1 were further evaluated in secondary transcriptional activation assays. We discovered that piperacetazine can directly bind to PAX3::FOXO1 protein and inhibit fusion protein-derived transcription in multiple alveolar RMS cell lines. Piperacetazine inhibited anchorage-independent growth of fusion positive alveolar RMS cells but not embryonal RMS cells. Based on our findings, piperacetazine is a molecular scaffold upon which derivatives could be developed as specific inhibitors of PAX3::FOXO1. These novel inhibitors could potentially be evaluated in future clinical trials for recurrent or metastatic alveolar RMS as novel targeted therapy options.

Chromatin architecture reorganisation during neuronal cell differentiation in Drosophila genome

Project description:Compartmentalisation of the genome as topologically associating domains (TADs) may have a regulatory role in development and cellular functioning, but the mechanism involved in TAD establishment is still unclear. Here, we present the first high-resolution contact map of Drosophila melanogaster neuronal cells (BG3) and identify different classes of TADs by comparing this to genome organisation in embryonic cells (Kc167). We find new interactions during differentiation in neuronal cells, which are reflected as enhanced long-range interactions. This is supported by pronounced enrichment of CTCF at TAD borders. Furthermore, we observed strong divergent transcription, together with RNA Polymerase II occupancy, and an increase in DNA accessibility at the TAD borders. Interestingly, TAD borders that are specific to neuronal cells are enriched in enhancers controlled by neuronal specific transcription factors. Our results suggest that TADs are dynamic across developmental stages and reflect the interplay between insulators, transcriptional states and enhancer activities.
