Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), frequently harboring H3K27M mutations, are lethal pediatric brain tumors within no effective treatment. Here our epigenomic analyses uncover a marked enrichment of the SP/KLF transcription factors in open chromatin regions specifically in H3K27M-mutated DIPG cells compared to normal pontine neural progenitor cells. We show that SP1 depletion or inhibition of SP/KLF DNA binding with EC-8042, an optimized Mithramycin analog, significantly suppresses the proliferation and invasiveness of H3K27M-DIPG cells. In a screen of epigenetic drugs, we find that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) synergize with EC-8042 to suppress H3K27M-DIPG cell growth. The RNA-seq in SU-DIPG-IV and SU-DIPG-XVII cells after treated with DMSO, EC-8042, vorinostat and combination vorinostat with EC-8042 revealed that HDACi activates transcriptional programs that enhance tumor adaptability and invasiveness, an effect counteracted by EC-8042. And EC-8042 in combination with HDACi synergistically represses the expression of cell cycle-associated genes and therefore suppresses H3K27M-DIPG cell proliferation, inhibiting tumor progression in orthotopic xenograft models. Transcriptomic analysis further supports that the combination treatment drives transcriptional programs correlating with favorable prognosis in DIPG patients. Therefore, our regulome profiling in H3K27M-DIPGs has provided mechanistic insights into HDACi resistance and a proof-of-concept for novel targeting therapeutics.

Project description:The lysine-to-methionine mutation at residue 27 of histone H3 (H3K27M) is a driving mutation in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a highly aggressive form of pediatric brain tumor with no effective treatment and little chance of survival. H3K27M reshapes the epigenome through a global inhibition of PRC2 catalytic activity, displacement of methylation at lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me2/3), and thus promoting oncogenesis of DIPG. As a consequence, a histone modification H3K36me2, antagonistic to H3K27me2/3, is aberrantly elevated. Here, we investigate the role of H3K36me2 in H3K27M-DIPG by tackling its upstream catalyzing enzymes (writers) and downstream binding factors (readers). We determine that NSD1 and NSD2 are the key writers for H3K36me2. Loss of NSD1/2 in H3K27M-DIPG impedes cellular proliferation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo, and disrupts tumor-promoting gene expression programs. Further, we demonstrate that LEDGF and HDGF2 are the main readers that mediate the pro-tumorigenic effects downstream of NSD1/2-H3K36me2. Treatment with a chemically modified peptide mimicking endogenous H3K36me2 dislodges LEDGF/HDGF2 from chromatin and specifically inhibits the proliferation of H3K27M-DIPG. Together, our results indicate a functional pathway of NSD1/2-H3K36me2-LEDGF/HDGF2 as an acquired dependency in H3K27M-DIPG and suggest a possibility to target this pathway for therapeutic interventions.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are characterized by a heterozygous lysine-to-methionine mutation of histone H3 (H3K27M) that potently reduces Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) methylation of wild-type histone H3K27 (H3K27wt). The role of H3K27M and reduced H3K27wt methylation in DIPG pathogenesis has yet to be determined. Here, we have performed epigenomic profiling of patient-derived H3K27M mutant DIPG cells and demonstrate that H3K27M resides in nucleosomes with H3K27wt acetylation (H3K27ac), and H3K27M-H3K27ac containing nucleosomes co-localize with bromodomain proteins at actively transcribed genes and that PRC2 is excluded from H3K27M occupied regions. With respect to therapeutic implications of these observations, we demonstrate that pharmacologic bromodomain protein inhibition suppresses tumor growth in vivo. In total, our results indicate that H3K27M promotes H3K27ac at the expense of H3K27 methylation, and points to bromodomain protein inhibition as a clinical strategy for treating DIPG.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare pediatric brain tumor with a median survival of 10-15 months. Histone H3 is mutated in 80% of DIPGs, dictating tumor location, onset, and outcome. Therapeutic resistance remains a major obstacle to preventing tumor recurrence and is in part driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which exhibit self-renewal properties and tumorigenic potential. In previous studies, we have identified these proliferative and tumorigenic features in aldehyde dehydrogenase positive (ALDH+) CSCs in H3K27M mutant DIPG. We hypothesize that ALDH-mediated cancer stemness and resistance may in part be driven by H3K27M. ALDH1A3 expression was reduced in CRISPR-edited DIPG cells (SU-DIPG-XIII) where the H3K27M mutation had been removed (H3K27M-KO). Furthermore, these gained differentiation characteristics and lost their neurosphere-forming potential. The parental (H3K27M) and H3K27M-KO cells were also subjected to ionizing radiation to identify genes responsible for radioresistance in histone-mutated DIPG radioresistance. Nascent transcriptomes were obtained from these cells using bromouridine labeling and capture followed by sequencing (Bru-seq).

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs), frequently harboring H3K27M mutations, are lethal pediatric brain tumors within no effective treatment. By performing ATAC-seq in human pontine progenitor cells (hPPCs) and H3K27M-mutated DIPG cells, we identified that the DIPG-opened chromatin regions are highly enriched for SP/KLF motifs. We show that SP1 depletion or inhibition of SP/KLF DNA binding with EC-8042, an optimized Mithramycin analog, significantly suppresses the proliferation and invasiveness of H3K27M-DIPG cells. In a screen of epigenetic drugs, we find that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) synergize with EC-8042 to suppress H3K27M-DIPG cell growth. We then performed ATAC-seq in SU-DIPG-XVII cells after treated with DMSO, EC-8042, vorinostat and combination vorinostat with EC-8042. And discovered that HDACi treatment enhances chromatin accessibility to SP/KLF factors, while EC-8042 disrupts both the primary SP/KLF transcription regulatory network and the secondary network induced by HDACi treatment.

Project description:Histone H3 lysine 27 to methionine mutations (H3K27M) resulting in aberrant chromatin regulation are frequently observed in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a pediatric brain tumor with no cure. We conducted a CRISPR screen to determine if various chromatin regulators might be targeted to treat DIPG. Excitingly, this genetic screen reveals that co-targeting lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) results in an enhanced growth suppressive effect in patient DIPG cells. Consistent with the genetic screen, a bifunctional inhibitor of HDACs and LSD1, Corin, inhibits DIPG growth in vitro and in xenografts. Mechanistically, Corin rescues H3K27me3 levels typically suppressed by the dominant effects of H3K27M mutations in DIPG and simultaneously increases HDAC-targeted H3K27ac and LSD1-targeted H3K4me1 at enhancers. Further studies reveal that Corin de-regulates DIPG transcription resulting in cell death, cell cycle arrest, and the induction of neuronal differentiation. These data suggest that co-targeting LSD1 and HDACs may represent a novel strategy for treating DIPG.

Project description:Lysine 27 to methionine mutation (H3K27M) of the H3F3A gene, which encodes the variant histone H3.3, is found in the majority of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPGs). DIPGs are the most aggressive form of pediatric gliomas and have a median survival of <1 year from diagnosis. As H3K27M mutation is necessary but not sufficient to cause DIPGs, it is accompanied by several other mutations in tumors. However, the mechanisms by which H3K27M increases vulnerability to DIPG tumorigenesis, while expected to involve altered epigenetic regulation is unclear. Thus, in this work we built pairs of isogenic human embryonic stem cell lines with versus without this mutation, in the absence of other DIPG contributory mutations, to investigate mechanisms by which H3K27M mutation could affect cellular proliferation and differentiation and how these were related to alterations in the transcriptome, H3K27me3, and the DNA methylome. We found that H3K27M increased stem cell proliferation and interfered with differentiation, resulting in loss of most H3K27me3 and resulting in anomalous onset of expression of developmental genes during multilineage or directed differentiation. This work suggests mechanisms by which H3K27M mutation influences stem cell properties, contributing to DIPG tumorigenesis.
