Project description:Somatic mutations in various epigenetic regulators, including histone methyltransferases KMT2C and KMT2D, have emerged as important cancer-driving events. However, the mechanism of action and therapeutic vulnerability imparted by these mutations remain poorly understood. We identified KMT2D and 8 other epigenetic regulators as potential suppressors to melanoma initiation through an in vivo pooled epigenome-focused RNAi screen. Loss of KMT2D, which exhibits somatic mutations in human melanoma and other cancers, drastically enhanced melanoma progression in xenograft models and a BRAFV600E-driven genetically engineered mouse model of melanoma. Epigenome profiling of 6 histone marks and chromatin state alterations showed substantial reprogramming of H3K4me1- and H3K27ac-marked active enhancer states in KMT2D mutant tumors. Energy metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, OxPhos and TCA/electron transport showed high degree of deregulation which was confirmed with metabolic profiling. Pharmacological abrogation of glycolysis led to reduced proliferation and tumorigenesis preferentially in KMT2D mutant cells. Mechanistically, we find that enhancer loss at IGFBPs increases IGF signaling and downstream AKT phosphorylation that leads to upregulation of metabolic pathways rendering KMT2D mutant cells dependent on these energy metabolism pathways for their higher growth potential. Overall, we present evidence that KMT2D mutations promote tumorigenesis by reprogramming energy metabolism pathways through enhancer reprogramming.

Project description:Define and compare H3K4me2 enrichment in murine B220 cells transduced with empty vector (ct) or KMT2D-shRNA. Compare gene expression by RNAseq in murine B220 cells transduced with empty vector (ct) or KMT2D-shRNA. Using H3K4me1/2 ChIPseq and RNAseq we profiled murine B220 purified cells from tumors transduced with EV (n=3) or KMT2D-shRNA (n=3).

Project description:KMT2D is required in the cardiac mesoderm, anterior heart field precursors and cardiomyocytes. Kmt2d deletion in cardiac mesoderm (Mesp1Cre) is embryonic lethal at E10.5 and mutants have hypoplastic hearts; Kmt2d deletion in anterior heart field precursors (Mef2cAHF::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E13.5 and mutants have defects in septation of outflow tract and interventricular septum (IVS); Kmt2d deletion in cardiomyocytes (Tnnt2::Cre) deletion is embryonic lethal at E14.5 and mutants have defects in IVS septation and compact myocardium. The goal of this study is to compare changes in gene expression in these Kmt2d conditional deletion mutants and understand common or distinct pathways dysregulated in absence of KMT2D. Whole genome gene expression analysis was performed on RNA isolated from control and mutant embryonic hearts (or right ventricles and outflow tract for anterior heart field deletion samples). Libraries were prepared using Illumina TruSeq Paired-End Cluster Kit v3, and sequenced with the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system for pair-ended 100 base pairs (PE 100 bp).

Project description:Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also called Machado-Joseph disease (MJD), is a polyQ neurodegenerative disease that is still seeking cure. We used SCA-3 84Q transgenic mice as a disease model to study the therapeutic effect of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles were established and compared between the control (15Q), disease(84Q) and treatment(84Q+IGF-1) groups using RNA-seq and metabolic network analysis. SCA3-84Q mice showed a decrease in glycolysis, lipolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and an increase in apoptosis, and IGF-1 treatment reversed the alterations slightly.

Project description:Kabuki Syndrome (KS) is a multisystemic rare disorder, characterized by growth delay, distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, and rarely autism spectrum disorder. This condition is mostly caused by de novo mutations of KMT2D, encoding a catalytic subunit of the COMPASS complex involved in enhancer regulation. KMT2D catalyzes the deposition of histone-3-lysine-4 mono-methyl (H3K4Me1) that marks active and poised enhancers. To assess the impact of KMT2D mutations in the chromatin landscape of KS tissues, we have generated patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), which we further differentiated into neural crest stem cells (NCSC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and cortical neurons (iN). In addition, we further collected blood samples from 5 additional KS patients. To complete our disease modeling cohort we generated an isogenic KMT2D mutant line from human embryonic stem cells, which we differentiated into neural precursor and mature neurons. Micro-electrode-array (MEA)-based neural network analysis of KS iNs revealed an altered pattern of spontaneous network-bursts in a Kabuki-specific pattern. RNA-seq profiling was performed to relate this aberrant MEA pattern to transcriptional dysregulations, revealing that dysregulated genes were enriched for neuronal functions, such as ion channels, synapse activity, and electrophysiological activity. Here we show that KMT2D haploinsufficiency tends to heavily affect the transcriptome of cortical neurons and differentiated tissues while sparing multipotent states, suggesting that KMT2D has a most prevalent role in terminally differentiated cell and activate transcriptional circuitry unique to each cell type. Moreover, thorough profiling of H3K4Me1 unveiled the almost complete uncoupling between this chromatin mark and the regulatory effects of KMT2D on transcription, which is instead reflected by a defect of H3K27Ac. By integrating RNA-seq with ChIP-seq data we defined TEAD and REST as the master effectors of KMT2D haploinsufficiency. Also, we identified a subset of genes whose regulation is controlled by the balance between KMT2D and EZH2 dosage. Finally, we identified the bona fide direct targets of KMT2D in healthy and KS mature cortical neurons and TEAD2 as the main proxy of KMT2D dysregulation in KS. Overall, our study provides the transcriptional and epigenomic characterization of patient-derived tissues as well as iPSCs and differentiated disease-relevant cell types, as well as the identification of KMT2D direct target in cortical neurons, together with the identification of a neuronal phenotype of the spontaneous electrical activity.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with 5-year survival of ~50%. Genomic profiling studies have identified important somatic mutations in this disease which presents an opportunity for precision medicine. We demonstrate that KMT2D, a histone methyltransferase harbors somatic mutations in ~17% of HNSCC and is associated with 2-year recurrence in TCGA data. Consistent with algorithmic prediction of bring a driver tumor-suppressor event, its loss results in larger oral tumors in immune-proficient orthotopic models. Mechanistically, we find that KMT2D knockdown or KMT2D mutation causes loss of H3K4me1-marked enhancers harboring IRF7/9 binding sites, which is known to regulate interferon signaling. Indeed, KMT2D loss in human and murine cell lines deregulated transcriptional levels of cytokine expression and impacted numerous immune signaling pathways, including interferon signaling. Consistently, Kmt2d knockdown in murine tumors exhibited decrease in IFN-producing effector T cells and an increase in T-cells with an exhausted phenotype. Epistasis experiments showed that exogenous treatment with IFNabrogated the increased tumor growth in Kmt2d-deficient oral tumors. Together, these results support the role of KMT2D as a tumor suppressor in HNSCC that regulates the tumor microenvironment by modulating H3K4me1-marked enhancers controlling interferon signaling.
