Project description:Glioblastoma is a universally fatal disease characterized by remarkable molecular heterogeneity. Prognostic biomarkers in glioblastoma have implications for patient management and drug development but are currently limited. In this study, we analyzed exome-wide human glioblastoma somatic copy number alteration data and discovered cytoband 6q27 as an independent poor prognostic marker across multiple glioblastoma datasets. We then combined CRISPR-Cas9 data, human spatial transcriptomic data, and human and mouse RNA sequencing data to nominate PDE10A as a potential haploinsufficient tumor suppressor in the 6q27 region. Mouse glioblastoma modeling using the RCAS/tv-a system confirmed that Pde10a suppression induced an aggressive glioma phenotype in vivo. Cell culture analysis showed that decreased Pde10a expression led to increased Pi3k/Akt signaling, a response blocked by selective Pi3k inhibitors. Single nucleus RNA sequencing from our mouse gliomas in vivo, in combination with cell culture validation showed that Pde10a suppression was associated with a proneural to a mesenchymal transition that exhibited increased cell adhesion and decreased cell migration. PDE10A loss was associated with unmethylated MGMT promoter status in human glioblastoma and resistance to temozolomide and radiation therapy in vitro. Our results indicate that patients with glioblastoma harboring PDE10A loss have worse outcomes, increased resistance to standard-of-care therapy, and potentially increased sensitivity to PI3K inhibition.

Project description:CUX1 is a homeodomain-containing transcription factor that is conserved, ubiquitous, and essential in vertebrates and invertebrates. CUX1 is mutated or deleted in high-risk myeloid neoplasms and solid tumors, resulting in haploinsufficiency and tumor growth. Here we provide the first analysis of endogenous, whole genome, CUX1 DNA binding. We demonstrate that CUX1 binds with transcriptional activators and cohesin at distal enhancers across three different human cell types. Haploinsufficiency of CUX1 altered the expression of a large number of genes, including cell cycle regulators, with concomitant increased cellular proliferation. Surprisingly, CUX1 occupancy decreased genome-wide in the haploinsufficient state, and binding site affinity did not correlate with differential gene expression. Instead, differentially expressed genes had multiple, low-affinity CUX1 binding sites, consistent with an analog model for CUX1 gene regulation. A machine-learning algorithm determined that chromatin accessibility, enhancer activity, and distance to the transcription start site are features of functional CUX1 DNA binding. Moreover, CUX1 is enriched at sites of DNA looping, and these loops connect CUX1 to the promoters of target genes. We propose that CUX1 is an analog transcription factor that regulates target genes through higher order genome architecture.

Project description:Cyclin C was cloned as a growth-promoting G1 cyclin, and was also shown to regulate gene transcription. Here we report that in vivo cyclin C acts as a haploinsufficient tumour suppressor, by controlling Notch1 oncogene levels. Cyclin C activates an 'orphan' CDK19 kinase, as well as CDK8 and CDK3. These cyclin-C-CDK complexes phosphorylate the Notch1 intracellular domain (ICN1) and promote ICN1 degradation. Genetic ablation of cyclin C blocks ICN1 phosphorylation in vivo, thereby elevating ICN1 levels in cyclin-C-knockout mice. Cyclin C ablation or heterozygosity collaborates with other oncogenic lesions and accelerates development of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL). Furthermore, the cyclin C encoding gene CCNC is heterozygously deleted in a significant fraction of human T-ALLs, and these tumours express reduced cyclin C levels. We also describe point mutations in human T-ALL that render cyclin-C-CDK unable to phosphorylate ICN1. Hence, tumour cells may develop different strategies to evade inhibition by cyclin C.

Project description:The PTEN/PI3K pathway is commonly mutated in cancer and therefore represents a rational target for therapeutic intervention. In order to investigate the primary phenotype(s) mediated by mutant PIK3CA in a clean and highly patient-relevant context, we utilized a non-tumorigenic MCF10A parental and isogenic knock-in cell line that harbors a common activating PIK3CA kinase domain mutation (H1047R). We found that introduction of an endogenously mutated PIK3CA primarily results in a marked epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasive phenotype compared to isogenic wild-type cells. Moreover, a potent and selective inhibitor of PIK3CA (GDC-0941) was highly effective and selective on reversing this phenotype compared to cell-proliferation, highlighting a potential new paradigm for studying PI3K-pathway targeted agents. Keywords: Expression Array Gene expression profiles from a parental MCF10A breast line and an MCF10A clone that has a PI3K activating mutation (H1047R) knocked-in. We plated the cells in 10cm dishes overnight in media with serum, but lacking EGF or insulin. DMSO or GDC-0941 (PI3K inhibitor) at an EC50 concentration were added to triplicate plates of cells in the morning. After 4 hours the RNA was harvested using the Qiagen RNeasy kit. There are 12 samples total.

Project description:A dosage-dependent role for tumor suppressor genes in the initiation of myeloid malignancies remains controversial. Here we show that MYBL2 is expressed at sharply reduced levels in CD34+ cells from most patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; 65%; n=26). In a murine competitive reconstitution model, Mybl2 knockdown by RNAi to 20-30% of normal levels in multipotent hematopoietic progenitors led to clonal dominance by these “sub-haploinsufficient” cells, affecting all blood cell lineages. By 6 months post-transplantation, the reconstituted mice had developed a myeloproliferative/myelodysplastic disorder originating from the cells with aberrantly reduced Mybl2 expression. Thus, downregulation of MYBL2 activity to levels below those predicted by classical haploinsufficiency drives the clonal expansion of hematopoietic progenitors in a large fraction of human MDS cases.
