Effect of genomic imbalances on gene expression in rhabdomyosarcoma

ABSTRACT: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common paediatric soft-tissue sarcoma and resembles developing skeletal muscle. Specific genomic alterations including translocations, deletions and amplification events have been associated with the alveolar and embryonal subtypes of RMS. Characterizing these changes has led to increased understanding of the underlying molecular biology. However, further aberrations and their significance remain to be defined. Genomic copy number variations have been shown to affect the level of transcription in several tumor types. In this study, we have combined array comparative genomic hybridization analysis of 13 RMS cell lines, supported by confirmatory PCR analyses, with their corresponding expression profiles. This identified sets of genes that are altered in their level of expression by genomic imbalances. We also show that the effect on gene expression was proportional to the level of genomic gain or loss. Keywords: Rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines

SNAIL is a key regulator of rhabdomyosarcoma progression and myogenic differentiation

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a frequent non-epithelial tumor of soft tissue that originates from a myogenic differentiation defect. Expression of SNAIL transcription factor is elevated in the alveolar subtype of RMS, characterized by a low myogenic differentiation status and high aggressiveness. SNAIL affects RMS metastasis by reorganization of actin cytoskeleton, regulation of ezrin expression and chemotaxis to HGF and SDF-1. The differentiation of human RMS diminishes SNAIL level. SNAIL silencing completely abolishes the growth of human RMS xenotransplants. SNAIL inhibits myogenic differentiation of RMS by binding to the MYF5 promoter, suppressing its expression, displacing MYOD from canonical to alternative E-box sequences and regulating myomiRs expression. SNAIL silencing allows the re-expression of MYF5 and canonical MYOD binding, promoting RMS cell myogenic differentiation. These novel results open potential avenues for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies based on SNAIL silencing.

Methylation profiling reveals novel molecular classes of rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) represent a family of aggressive soft tissue sarcomas that present in both the pediatric and adult setting. Pathologic risk stratification for RMS has been based on histologic subtype, with poor outcomes observed in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) and adult-type pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (PRMS) compared to embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). Recent genomic sequencing studies have expanded the spectrum of RMS, with several new molecularly defined entities, including fusion-driven spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (SC/SRMS) and MYOD1-mutant SC/SRMS. Comprehensive genomic analysis has previously defined the mutational and copy number spectrum for the more common ERMS and ARMS, as well as revealed corresponding methylation signatures. In contrast, genetic and epigenetic correlates have not been defined for the rare SC/SRMS or PRMS histologic subtypes. Herein, we present genomic sequencing, copy number analysis, and methylation profiling of the largest cohort of molecularly characterized RMS samples to date. We identified two novel methylation subtypes, one having SC/SRMS histology and defined by MYOD1 p. L122R mutations and the other matching adult type PRMS. Selected tumors from adolescent patients grouped with the PRMS methylation class, expanding the age range of these rare tumors. Pediatric patients in the MYOD1-mutant group, as well as those clustering with PRMS, appear to have poor overall survival.

DNA methylation profiling of rhabdomyosarcoma tumor samples

Project description:In order to identify the specific DNA methylation pattern of different rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) samples we performed a genome-wide study using Human DNA methylation platform (Agilent). DNA methylation profiling was carried out in 15 RMS tumor samples using the Human DNA methylation microarray (Agilent) consisting of about 244,000 (60-mer) probes design to interrogate about 27,000 known CpG islands. Enriched-methylated dsDNA for each sample was labeled with Cy5 dye and the control genomic DNA for each sample was labeled with Cy3 dye using Agilent Genomic DNA labeling kit PLUS (Agilent).

Strategies to inhibit FGFR4 V550L-driven rhabdomyosarcoma

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a paediatric cancer driven either by a fusion protein (e.g. PAX3-FOXO1) or by mutations in key signalling molecules (e.g. RAS or FGFR4). Despite the latter giving potential for precision medicine approaches in RMS, there are no such treatments implemented in the clinic yet. In order to identify and test novel precision therapy strategies, appropriate cellular and mouse models are crucial. We have here thoroughly characterized a RMS patient-derived cell line model, RMS559, which harbours a FGFR4 V550L activating mutation with high allelic frequency (0.8). Importantly, we show that RMS559 cells are oncogenically dependent on FGFR4 signalling by treatment with the pan-FGFR inhibitor LY2874455. Phosphoproteomic analysis identified RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT as the major druggable signalling pathways downstream of FGFR V550L. Inhibitors against these pathways inhibited cell proliferation. Furthermore, we found that FGFR4 V550L is dependent on HSP90 and inhibitors targeting HSP90 efficiently restrain proliferation. Recently, FGFR4 specific inhibitors have been developed. While two of these, BLU-9931 and H3B-6527, did not efficiently inhibit FGFR4 V550L, probably because of the gatekeeper mutation (V550L), one of them, FGF401 inhibited FGFR4 V550L and cell proliferation at low nanomolar concentrations. Finally, we developed a mouse model using RMS559 cells and tested the in vivo efficacy of LY2874455 and FGF401. While LY2874455 inefficiently inhibited growth, FGF401 completely abrogated tumour growth in vivo.

The 3D chromatin landscape of rhabdomyosarcoma [HiC]

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a pediatric soft tissue cancer with no precision therapy available for affected patients. We hypothesized that with a general paucity of known mutations in RMS, chromatin structural driving mechanisms are essential for tumor proliferation. Thus, we carried out high-depth in situ Hi-C in representative cell lines and patient-derived xenografts to understand chromatin architecture in each major RMS subtype. We report a comprehensive 3D chromatin structural analysis and characterization of fusion-positive (FP-RMS) and fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma (FN-RMS). We have generated spike-in in situ Hi-C chromatin interaction maps for the commonest FP-RMS and FN-RMS cell lines, and compared our data with patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. In our studies we uncover common and distinct structural elements in large Mb-scale chromatin compartments, tumor-essential genes within variable topologically associating domains, and unique patterns of structural variation. This study enables a comprehensive resource for contextualizing gene regulation events in RMS, and high-depth chromatin interactivity maps for identification of functionally critical chromatin domains in this tumor.

Transcription profiling of human Rhabdomyosarcoma biopsy samples (15 embryonal RMS, 10 translocation-positive alveolar RMS and 5 translocation-negative alveolar RMS)

Project description:We measured the expression profiles of a series of 30 Rhabdomyosarcoma biopsy samples (15 embryonal RMS, 10 translocation-positive alveolar RMS and 5 translocation-negative alveolar RMS). Expression data was used for unsupervised hierarchical clustering as well as supervised analysis to find gene expression signatures characteristic for the different histological RMS subgroups.

RIP-seq of DDX5 in rhabdomyosarcoma cells

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood characterized by the inability to exit the proliferative myoblast-like stage. Here, we identified the DEAD box RNA helicase 5 (DDX5) as a potential therapeutic target to inhibit alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) growth. We show that DDX5 is overexpressed in alveolar RMS cells, demonstrating that its depletion drastically decreases ARMS viability and slows tumor growth in xenograft models. Mechanistically, we provide evidence that DDX5 functions upstream the G9a/AKT survival signalling pathway, by modulating G9a protein stability
