Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation in neuroblastoma cell lines identifies MEGF10 as a novel epigenetically repressed tumour suppressor gene.

ABSTRACT: Background: Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer in which many children still have poor outcomes, emphasising the need to better understand its pathogenesis. Despite recent genome-wide mutation analyses, most neuroblastomas do not contain recognisable driver mutations, suggesting that epigenetic changes could underlie many cases. Methods: To discover genes that become epigenetically deregulated during neuroblastoma tumorigenesis, we compared neuroblastomas to their neural crest precursor cells, using genome-wide DNA methylation analysis; probing CpG island promoter microarrays with methyl CpG-immunoprecipitated DNA. Results: We identified 93 genes that were significantly differently methylated between neuroblastoma cell lines and neural crest cells, of which 26 (28%) were hypermethylated and 67 (72%) were hypomethylated. Concentrating on hypermethylated genes to identify candidate tumour suppressor loci, we found the cell engulfment and adhesion factor gene MEGF10 to be epigenetically repressed by DNA hypermethylation or by H3K27/K9 methylation in neuroblastoma cell lines. MEGF10 showed significantly down-regulated expression in neuroblastoma tumour samples; furthermore patients with the lowest-expressing tumours had reduced relapse-free survival. Knock-down of MEGF10 expression in neuroblastoma cell lines promoted cell growth. Conclusion: Our results suggest that MEGF10 is a clinically relevant, epigenetically-deregulated neuroblastoma tumour suppressor.

Analysis of RNA-seq of human neuroblastomas from mouse-human neural crest chimeric mice model and in other neuroblastoma models

Project description:To confirm the neuroblastomas (NB) identity of human neuroblastomas from mouse-human neural crest chimeric mice model (CHNBs) we characterized their gene expression profiles by RNA-Seq (CHNBs MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=8). For a global comparison of gene expression profiles of CHNBs with other NB models, we further collected RNA-seq data from patient derived xenografts of neuroblastoma (PDX NBs ; MYCNamp+ALKwt PDX; n=2, and MYCNamp+ALKF1174L PDX; n=3), neuroblastomas from genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM NBs; Th-MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=3), neuroblastoma established cell lines (n=2; Kelly, MYCNamp+ALKF1174L; SH-SY5Y, MYCNwt+ ALKF1174L), human pluripotent derived human neural crest cells (hNCCs; wt hNCCs; n=2, and MYCN+ALKF1174L hNCCs, with Dox; n=2) and from hNCC xenografts (MYCN+ALKF1174L; n=5).

Transcription profiling of human neuroblastoma cell line expressing PHOX2B

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumour of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system (SNS). One of the master regulator genes for peripheral SNS differentiation, the homeobox transcription factor PHOX2B, is mutated in familiar and sporadic neuroblastomas. Here we report that inducible expression of PHOX2B in the neuroblastoma cell line SJNB-8 down-regulates MSX1, a homeobox gene important for embryonic neural crest development. Inducible expression of MSX1 in SJNB-8 caused inhibition of both cell proliferation and colony formation in soft agar. Affymetrix micro- array and Northern blot analysis demonstrated that MSX1 strongly up-regulated the Delta-Notch pathway. These experiments describe for the first time regulation of the Delta-Notch pathway by MSX1, and connect these genes to the PHOX2B oncogene, indicative of a role in neuroblastoma biology. Experiment Overall Design: Time course experiments of two independent clones (K2 and K5), with 2 or 4 time points, respectively.

Phosphoproteome and gene expression profiling of ALK inhibition in neuroblastoma cells lines reveals conserved oncogenic pathways

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a neural crest-derived embryonal tumor or the postganglionic sympathetic nervous system. Neuroblastomas show heterogeneous biologic and clinical features and , whereas a subset may undergo spontaneous differentiation or regression with little or no therapy, the majorities are difficult to cure with current modalities. The origin of these tumours remains unknown in most cases, although a number of familial cases have been associated with mutations of the ALK gene. In this study we established both phosphoproteomic and gene expression profiles of ALK activity in neuroblastoma cells exposed to first and third generation ALK TKIs, to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms and identify relevant biomarkers, signaling networks, and new therapeutic targets.

GRHL1 acts as a tumor suppressor in neuroblastoma and is negatively regulated by MYCN and HDAC3

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonic solid tumor of neural crest origin and accounts for 11% of all cancer-related deaths in children. Novel therapeutic strategies are therefore urgently required. MYCN oncogene amplification, which occurs in 20% of neuroblastomas, is a hallmark of high risk. Here we aimed to exploit molecular mechanisms that can be pharmacologically addressed with epigenetically modifying drugs, such as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. GRHL1, a gene critical for Drosophila neural development, belonged to the genes most strongly responding to HDAC inhibitor treatment of neuroblastoma cells in a genome- wide screen. An increase in the histone H4 pan-acetylation associated with its promoter preceded transcriptional activation. Physically adjacent, HDAC3 and MYCN co-localized to the GRHL1 promoter and repressed its transcription. High-level GRHL1 expression in primary neuroblastomas correlated on transcriptional and translational levels with favorable patient survival and established clinical and molecular markers for favorable tumor biology, including lack of MYCN amplification. Enforced GRHL1 expression in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells with low endogenous GRHL1 levels abrogated anchorage-independent colony formation, inhibited proliferation and retarded xenograft growth in mice. GRHL1 regulated 170 genes genome-wide, and most were involved in pathways regulated during neuroblastomagenesis, including nervous system development, proliferation, cell-cell adhesion, cell spreading and cellular differentiation. In summary, the data presented here indicate a significant role of HDAC3 in the MYCN-mediated repression of GRHL1 and suggest drugs that block HDAC3 activity and suppress MYCN expression as promising candidates for novel treatment strategies of high-risk neuroblastoma. Twelve samples were analyzed. Each 2 replicated of paired empty vector control and GRHL1 forced expression at 3 different time points.

Transcriptional profiles of transgenic ALK^F1174L/MYCN vs. MYCN tumors

Project description:The ALK^F1174L mutation is associated with intrinsic and acquired resistance to crizotinib and cosegregates with MYCN in neuroblastoma. In this study, we generated a mouse model overexpressing ALK^F1174L in the neural crest. Comapred to mice expressing ALK^F1174L or MYCN alone, combined expression of the two aberrations led to development of neuroblastoma with a shorter latency and higher penetrance. Here, we evaluated the transcriptional profiles of MYCN-driven neuroblastomas with or without the expression of ALK^F1174L to determine the pathogenic consequences of the ALK^F1174L/MYCN interaction in neuroblastoma.

Genetic Predisposition to Neuroblastoma Results from a Regulatory Polymorphism that Promotes the Adrenergic Cell State

Project description:Childhood neuroblastomas exhibit plasticity between an undifferentiated neural crest-like “mesenchymal” cell state and a more differentiated sympathetic “adrenergic” cell state. These cell states are governed by autoregulatory transcriptional loops called core regulatory circuitries (CRCs), which drive the early development of sympathetic neuronal progenitors from migratory neural crest cells during embryogenesis. The adrenergic cell identity of neuroblastoma requires LMO1 as a transcriptional co-factor. Both LMO1 expression levels and the risk of developing neuroblastoma in children are associated with a single nucleotide polymorphism G/T that affects a GATA motif in the first intron of LMO1. Here we showed that wild-type zebrafish with the GATA genotype developed adrenergic neuroblastoma, while knock-in of the protective TATA allele at this locus reduced the penetrance of MYCN-driven tumors, which were restricted to the mesenchymal cell state. Whole genome sequencing of childhood neuroblastomas demonstrated that TATA/TATA tumors also exhibited a mesenchymal cell state and were low risk at diagnosis. Thus, conversion of the regulatory GATA to a TATA allele in the first intron of LMO1 reduced the neuroblastoma initiation rate by preventing formation of the adrenergic cell state, a mechanism that was conserved over 400 million years of evolution separating zebrafish and humans.

NOTCH3 is a master-regulator of motility in neuroblastoma and is essential for cell survival

Project description:Migratory embryonal neuroblasts give rise to several tissues, including the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Neuroblastomas are paediatric tumours of the peripheral SNS with a highly variable prognosis. We observed that high NOTCH3 expression in neuroblastomas correlated with a poor prognosis. Expression of a NOTCH3 transgene in neuroblastoma cells induced many motility genes and conferred a highly motile phenotype. Expression of these motility genes strongly correlated with NOTCH3 expression in neuroblastomas and many other tumours, suggesting a general role for NOTCH3 in regulation of these genes. Silencing of NOTCH3 or genes of the Notch-processing γ-secretase complex induced apoptosis in all neuroblastoma cell lines tested. These data suggest that NOTCH3 is a key-regulator of motility, and indispensable for survival of neuroblastoma cells.

Transcription profiling of human cell lines reveals Dickkopf-1 is down-regulated by MYCN and inhibits neuroblastoma cell proliferation

Project description:Neuroblastomas are tumors of the developing peripheral sympathetic nervous system, which originates from the neural crest. Twenty percent of neuroblastomas show amplification of the MYCN oncogene, which correlates with poor prognosis. The MYCN transcription factor can activate and repress gene expression. To broaden our insight in the spectrum of genes down-regulated by MYCN, we generated gene expression profiles of the neuroblastoma cell lines SHEP-21N and SKNAS-NmycER, in which MYCN activity can be regulated. In this study, we show that MYCN suppresses the expression of Dickkopf-1 (DKK1) in both cell lines. DKK1 is a potent inhibitor of the wnt/ï?¢-catenin signalling cascade, which is known to function in neural crest cell migration. We generated a DKK1 inducible cell line, IMR32-DKK1, which showed impaired proliferation upon DKK1 expression. Surprisingly, DKK1 expression did not inhibit the canonical wnt/ï?¢-catenin signalling, suggesting a role of DKK1 in an alternative route of the wnt pathway. Gene expression profiling of two IMR32-DKK1 clones showed that only a few genes, amongst which SYNPO2, were up-regulated by DKK1. SYNPO2 encodes an actin-binding protein and was previously found to inhibit proliferation and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells. These results suggest that MYCN might stimulate cell proliferation by inhibiting the expression of DKK1. DKK1 might exert part of its growth suppressive effect by induction of SYNPO2 expression.
