Project description:Epigenetic drugs exert a wide range of immune-related effects, but have strong drug-specific heterogeneity in immunomodulation, thus hampering selection of the most promising agent for innovative cancer immunotherapy approaches. Here we identified immune-related signatures induced by four classes of epigenetic drugs in melanoma cells to define the most active agent and to understand its biological activity in -vitro, in a pre-clinical model and in clinical samples. Gene modulation, induced by inhibitors of DNA methyltransferases (guadecitabine), histone deacetylases (givinostat), bromodomain and extraterminal domain proteins (JQ1 and OTX-015) and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (GSK126), was assessed in human melanoma cell lines. All drugs modulated genes belonging to 20 families. Guadecitabine, followed by givinostat, was the most active drug and upregulated >160 immune-related genes characterized by low expression and high methylation. JQ1 and OTX-015 showed predominant inhibitory effects, GSK126 was the least active. A dominant immunomodulatory effect of guadecitabine and JQ1 was observed in combinatorial treatments. This experiment deals with the characterization of gene modulation by epigenetic drugs (guadecitabine, givinostat, JQ1, GSK-126) and by the unrelated drug Abemaciclib in two melanoma cells lines CST30 and VRG100

This experiment deals with the characterization of gene expression in tumor nodules removed from immunodeficient mice treated or not with guadecitabine (as described in Covre A et al. Seminars in Oncology 2015;42:506-513) after s.c. tranplant of human melanoma cells from two cell lines 313 and 195 (cell lines described in Coral S et al. J. Cell Physiol 2006;207:58-66).

Project description:BackgroundImprovement of efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) remains a major clinical goal. Association of ICB with immunomodulatory epigenetic drugs is an option. However, epigenetic inhibitors show a heterogeneous landscape of activities. Analysis of transcriptional programs induced in neoplastic cells by distinct classes of epigenetic drugs may foster identification of the most promising agents.MethodsMelanoma cell lines, characterized for mutational and differentiation profile, were treated with inhibitors of DNA methyltransferases (guadecitabine), histone deacetylases (givinostat), BET proteins (JQ1 and OTX-015), and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (GSK126). Modulatory effects of epigenetic drugs were evaluated at the gene and protein levels. Master molecules explaining changes in gene expression were identified by Upstream Regulator (UR) analysis. Gene set enrichment and IPA were used respectively to test modulation of guadecitabine-specific gene and UR signatures in baseline and on-treatment tumor biopsies from melanoma patients in the Phase Ib NIBIT-M4 Guadecitabine + Ipilimumab Trial. Prognostic significance of drug-specific immune-related genes was tested with Timer 2.0 in TCGA tumor datasets.ResultsEpigenetic drugs induced different profiles of gene expression in melanoma cell lines. Immune-related genes were frequently upregulated by guadecitabine, irrespective of the mutational and differentiation profiles of the melanoma cell lines, to a lesser extent by givinostat, but mostly downregulated by JQ1 and OTX-015. GSK126 was the least active drug. Quantitative western blot analysis confirmed drug-specific modulatory profiles. Most of the guadecitabine-specific signature genes were upregulated in on-treatment NIBIT-M4 tumor biopsies, but not in on-treatment lesions of patients treated only with ipilimumab. A guadecitabine-specific UR signature, containing activated molecules of the TLR, NF-kB, and IFN innate immunity pathways, was induced in drug-treated melanoma, mesothelioma and hepatocarcinoma cell lines and in a human melanoma xenograft model. Activation of guadecitabine-specific UR signature molecules in on-treatment tumor biopsies discriminated responding from non-responding NIBIT-M4 patients. Sixty-five % of the immune-related genes upregulated by guadecitabine were prognostically significant and conferred a reduced risk in the TCGA cutaneous melanoma dataset.ConclusionsThe DNMT inhibitor guadecitabine emerged as the most promising immunomodulatory agent among those tested, supporting the rationale for usage of this class of epigenetic drugs in combinatorial immunotherapy approaches.

Project description:Micro-environment played an important role in the disease progression and overall survival. More recently, hypoxic signature were identified as one of the key signatures of innate anti-PD1 resistance, however, relatively little had been done to identify the key molecular signature of hypoxic response in melanoma and how these may correlated with other know signatures which correlate with poor prognosis. In this study we performed large scale study which integrate ChIP-seq of HIF (in one cell line) and RNA-seq (in three commonly used melanoma cell lines) to identify a common melanoma hypoxic signature. The finding were used to further integrated with our other genome wide which focus on MITF (the master regulator of the melanocyte lineage and a melanoma lineage oncogene, GSE77609) to elucidate the intricate interplay between MITF and HIF and how this interplay define a melanoma specific response to hypoxia.

Project description:Understanding the molecular processes underlying intra-tumor heterogeneity is of critical importance to improve the efficiency of therapy and overcome drug resistance. In malignant melanoma, heterogeneity is though to arise -at least partly- through epigenetic rather than genetic reprogramming of proliferating cells, leading to the appearance within the primary tumors of a phenotypically distinct invasive cell subpopulation. The invasive melanoma cells are at the origin of metastatic spread and are thought to provide a reservoir of therapeutically resistant cells. To decipher the gene regulatory networks that underlie the proliferative and invasive cellular states we integrated publicly available gene expression and DNA methylation data from tumor biopsies with a newly generated compendium of open chromatin and histone modification profiling of melanoma cultures that are dominant in either of the two subpopulations. Extensive in silico analyses identified SOX10 and MITF, and AP-1 and TEADs as key upstream regulators of the proliferative and invasive transcriptomes, respectively. Knock-down experiments confirmed the implication of TEADs in the invasive gene network and, more importantly, established a causative link between activation of these transcription factors and melanoma cell invasion and sensitivity to MAPK inhibitors.
