We previously established a human myoblast system for inducible expression of PAX3::FOXO1. In the current study, we modulate PAX3::FOXO1 protein expression to understand the epigenetic and phenotypic functions at different PAX3::FOXO1 levels. Proliferative and oncogenic outcomes depend on PAX3::FOXO1 dosage in this system with transformation dominant at intermediate levels and growth suppression dominant at high levels. After prolonged PAX3::FOXO1 expression, there is dosage-dependent heterogeneity in single cell gene expression profiles. We observe a dosage-specific effect for PAX3::FOXO1 chromatin recognition and identify factors that modulate PAX3::FOXO1 chromatin binding. PAX3::FOXO1 dosage affects expression signatures related to cell cycle, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and myogenesis. Whereas intermediate PAX3::FOXO1 expression maximizes chromatin binding to modulate gene expression, high PAX3::FOXO1 expression alters S phase progression and increases accessibility behind the replication fork. We conclude that PAX3::FOXO1 exerts dosage-dependent functions to influence epigenetic heterogeneity in fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcoma.2026/08/20GSE297125GSM8984269GSM8984279GSM8984268GSM8984267GSM8984278GSM8984288GSM8984277GSM8984266GSM8984287GSM8984265GSM8984276GSM8984275GSM8984286GSM8984285GSM8984274GSM8984284GSM8984273GSM8984272GSM8984283GSM8984282GSM8984271GSM8984281GSM8984270GSM898428024676297125Homo sapiens
