Project description:Thousands of enhancers are characterized in the human genome, yet few have been shown important in cancer. Inhibiting oncokinases, such as EGFR, ALK, HER2, and BRAF, is a mainstay of current cancer therapy but is hindered by innate drug resistance mediated by upregulation of the HGF receptor, MET. The mechanisms mediating such genomic responses to targeted therapy are unknown. Here, we identify lineage-specific MET enhancers for multiple common tumor types, including a melanoma lineage-specific MET enhancer that displays inducible chromatin looping and MET gene induction upon BRAF inhibition. Epigenomic analysis demonstrated that the melanocyte-specific transcription factor, MITF, mediates this enhancer function. Targeted genomic deletion (<7bp) of the MITF motif within the MET enhancer suppressed inducible chromatin looping and innate drug resistance, while maintaining MITF-dependent, inhibitor-induced melanoma cell differentiation. Epigenomic analysis can thus guide functional disruption of regulatory DNA to decouple pro- and anti-oncogenic functions of tumor lineage-enriched transcription factors mediating innate resistance to oncokinase therapy. MITF ChIP-seq was performed in primary human melanocytes with overexpression of BRAFV600E or a lentiviral control (RFP), and in COLO829 melanoma cells treated with DMSO, or PLX4032

Project description:Malignant melanoma is an aggressive cancer known for its notorious resistance to most current therapies. The basic helix-loop-helix microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) is the master regulator determining the identity and properties of the melanocyte lineage, and is regarded as a lineage-specific ‘oncogene’ that has a critical role in the pathogenesis of melanoma. MITF promotes melanoma cell proliferation, whereas sustained supression of MITF expression leads to senescence. By combining chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequen- cing analyses, we show that MITF directly regulates a set of genes required for DNA replication, repair and mitosis. Our results reveal how loss of MITF regulates mitotic fidelity, and through defective replication and repair induces DNA damage, ultimately ending in cellular senescence. These findings reveal a lineage-specific control of DNA replication and mitosis by MITF, providing new avenues for therapeutic intervention in melanoma. The identification of MITF-binding sites and gene- regulatory networks establish a framework for under- standing oncogenic basic helix-loop-helix factors such as N-myc or TFE3 in other cancers. 4 samples corresponding to genomic occupancy profiling of MITF (Cl8), PolII (501Mel), H3K4me3 501Mel). Anti-HA ChIP-seq on untagged cell line (501Mel) was used as a control.

Project description:Somatic oncogenic mutation of BRAF coupled with inactivation of PTEN constitute a frequent combination of genomic alterations driving development of human melanoma. Mice genetically engineered to conditionally express oncogenic BrafV600E and inactivate Pten in melanocytes following tamoxifen treatment rapidly develop melanoma. While early stage melanomas comprised melanin-pigmented Mitf and Dct-expressing cells, expression of these and other melanocyte identity genes was lost in later stage tumours that showed histological and molecular characteristics of de-differentiated neural crest type cells. Melanocyte identity genes displayed loss of active chromatin marks and RNA polymerase II and gain of heterochromatin marks indicating epigenetic reprogramming during tumour progression. Nevertheless, late stage tumour cells grown in culture re-expressed Mitf and melanocyte markers and Mitf together with Sox10 co-regulated a large number of genes essential for their growth. In this melanoma model, somatic inactivation that the catalytic Brg1 (Smarca4) subunit of the SWI/SNF complex and the scaffolding Bptf subunit of the NuRF delayed tumour formation and deregulated large and overlapping gene expression programs essential for normal tumour cell growth. Moreover, we show that Brg1 and Bptf co-regulated many genes together with Mitf and Sox10. Together these transcription factors and chromatin remodelling complexes orchestrate essential gene expression programs in mouse melanoma cells

Project description:Increased MITF expression contributes to melanoma progression and resistance to BRAF pathway inhibition. We show that, unexpectedly, lack of MITF is associated with more severe resistance to a range of inhibitors. Indeed, the presence of endogenous MITF was essential for robust drug responses. Both in primary and acquired resistance, MITF levels inversely correlated with expression of several activated receptor tyrosine kinases, most commonly AXL. The MITF-low/AXL-high/drug resistance phenotype was seen in roughly half of BRAF mutant and the majority of NRAS mutant melanoma cell lines. The dichotomous behavior of MITF in drug response was corroborated in vemurafenib-resistant biopsies, including MITF high and low clones in a relapsed patient. Drug cocktails containing AXL inhibitor enhanced melanoma cell elimination by BRAF or ERK inhibition. Our results demonstrate that a low MITF/AXL ratio predicts early resistance to multiple targeted drugs, and warrant clinical validation of AXL inhibitors to combat resistance of BRAF and NRAS mutant MITF-low melanomas. Experssion analysis by RNAseq of 14 melanoma cell lines.

Project description:Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) lacks targeted therapies beyond the oft-circumvented BRAF inhibitors. Part of the difficulty in treating melanomas has been attributed to a strong survival program controlled by melanocyte transcription factors such as MITF - a phenomenon first described in melanoma as “lineage dependency.” Recently, a highly selective covalent CDK7 inhibitor (THZ1) has been shown to potently suppress the growth of various cancers through the depletion of master transcription-regulating oncogenes and the disruption of their attendant super-enhancers. We now show that melanoma cells are highly sensitive to CDK7 inhibition and that a melanocyte “lineage cluster,” whose members are transcriptionally driven by super-enhancers, is also strongly suppressed by THZ1. These results point to CDK7 inhibition as a viable strategy to deprive oncogenic transcription and suppress tumor growth in melanoma.

Project description:We have used a mouse model where melanoma can be induced by Tamoxifen treatment that induces expression of oncogenic Braf and deletion of Pten in the melanocyte lineage using a Tyr::Cre-ER-T2 transgene to mediate recombination. Cells from these melanoma tumours were cultured in vitro and the effects of siRNA mediated silencing of transcription factors Mitf and Sox10 was performed and analysed by RNA-seq. We then crossed these mice with mice bearing floxed alleles of the genes encoding the chromatin remodelling factors Bptf and Brg1 (Smarca4). Tumour cells were grown in culture and Bptf or Brg1 inactivated by 4-OHT treatment. The effects on gene expression were assessed by RNA-seq.
