    Abstract: Abstract 227 The histone methyl-transferase EZH2 is frequently mutated in germinal-center derived diffuse-large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma. We and others have demonstrated that these mutations in tyrosine 641 of EZH2 represent a dominant gain-of-function, enhancing the capability to trimethylate H3K27 in combination with wildtype activity (Yap et al, Blood 2011; Sneeringer et al, PNAS 2010). To further test if these EZH2 mutations can be driver mutations in lymphomagenesis we have now generated and characterized a mouse line transgenic for EZH2 Y641F (the most commonly observed mutant form). Transgenic mice were created on the C57/Bl6 background by pronuclear microinjection of a construct where EZH2 Y641F is expressed from a lymphoid specific Emu-lck promoter. Spleen cells isolated from the transgenic mice displayed a global increase in H3K27me3 when analyzed by Western Blot. However none of the mice showed signs of lymphoma even when observed for prolonged periods of time. As EZH2 mutations often coincide with other mutations in lymphoma, we also combined the expression of EZH2 Y641F with the over-expression of Myc by crossing one of the transgenic lines with Emu-myc transgenic mice. In this combination model, we observed a dramatic acceleration of lymphoma development with the combination of Myc and EZH2 Y641F as compared to Myc alone (Myc alone (n=26) 137.5 days, Myc+EZH2 Y641F (n=20) 51 days, p 〈 0.0001 Log-Rank (Mantel-Cox) Test). The resulting lymphomas are characterized by a generalized massive lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly (spleen weight 0.416 +/− 0.133 g), bone marrow infiltration (72 +/− 8 %) and lymphocytosis (WBC 138.5 +/− 77.1 ×1000/μl). They show histological features of high-grade disease, and initiate disease in secondary recipients. In contrast to lymphomas observed with Emu-myc alone, all of the lymphomas observed in mice transgenic for both, Myc and EZH2 Y641F, presented with a mature B cell phenotype (B220+IgM+). This shift in differentiation can also be observed in the bone marrow even before development of overt lymphomas. While Myc transgenics mainly show an increase in the B220+IgM−compartment, this is shifted towards B220+IgM+ in double transgenics. Cell cycle analysis by in vivo Brdu incorporation before disease onset shows a drastic increase in the fraction of cells in cycle in the splenic B cells of double transgenic mice (43.3 and 44.9 % cells in S phase) as compared to mice transgenic for Myc alone (10.6 % and 14.2 % cells in S phase). Southern Blot analysis using a probe specific for JH4 showed more than one clonal rearrangement in a majority of the lymphomas in the double-transgenic mice. In summary, EZH2 Y641F can collaborate with Emu-myc in high efficiency lymphoma induction. This new murine lymphoma model now provides a powerful tool to study global changes in the epigenome caused by this frequent mutation and may be a useful system for testing novel treatments.

    Abstract: Catalytic protein subunits of telomerase from the ciliate Euplotes aediculatus and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain reverse transcriptase motifs. Here the homologous genes from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and human are identified. Disruption of the S. pombe gene resulted in telomere shortening and senescence, and expression of mRNA from the human gene correlated with telomerase activity in cell lines. Sequence comparisons placed the telomerase proteins in the reverse transcriptase family but revealed hallmarks that distinguish them from retroviral and retrotransposon relatives. Thus, the proposed telomerase catalytic subunits are phylogenetically conserved and represent a deep branch in the evolution of reverse transcriptases.

    Abstract: Telomere shortening ultimately limits the replicative life span of cultured human somatic cells. Telomeres also shorten during replicative aging in vivo in hematopoietic cells, including early hematopoietic progenitors and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), from humans and mice, despite readily detectable levels of telomerase in these cells. To assess the relevance of telomerase to the long-term replicative capacity of HSCs in vivo, we serially transplanted HSCs from wild-type and telomerase-deficient mice until exhaustion and monitored telomere length in HSCs during this process. Telomerase-deficient HSCs could be serially transplanted for only 2 rounds, whereas wild-type HSCs could be serially transplanted for at least 4 rounds. Furthermore, the rate of telomere shortening was increased approximately 2-fold during serial transplantation of telomerase-deficient HSCs. These findings suggest that one role for telomerase in the HSC is to partially counter the rate of telomere shortening during division of HSCs, thereby preventing premature loss of telomere function and providing added replicative capacity.

    Abstract: Normal human cells undergo a finite number of cell divisions and ultimately enter a nondividing state called replicative senescence. It has been proposed that telomere shortening is the molecular clock that triggers senescence. To test this hypothesis, two telomerase-negative normal human cell types, retinal pigment epithelial cells and foreskin fibroblasts, were transfected with vectors encoding the human telomerase catalytic subunit. In contrast to telomerase-negative control clones, which exhibited telomere shortening and senescence, telomerase-expressing clones had elongated telomeres, divided vigorously, and showed reduced staining for β-galactosidase, a biomarker for senescence. Notably, the telomerase-expressing clones have a normal karyotype and have already exceeded their normal life-span by at least 20 doublings, thus establishing a causal relationship between telomere shortening and in vitro cellular senescence. The ability to maintain normal human cells in a phenotypically youthful state could have important applications in research and medicine.

    Abstract: Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) has a high unmet need in terms of precision therapy development as there are currently no approved immunotherapies or targeted therapies, and few in the developmental pipeline. Here we sought to identify cell surface oncoproteins as a target for novel RMS-directed immunotherapies. Methods: We first performed plasma membrane enrichment followed by mass spectrometry to define the cell surface landscape of 7 fusion(+) and 14 fusion(-) RMS patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The surfaceome data was filtered to only “high confidence” surface proteins by querying protein localization databases, Compartments (https://compartments.jensenlab.org/) and CIRFESS (https://gundrylab.shinyapps.io/cirfess/). We then developed a prioritization algorithm that uses a rank-product approach to score surface proteins. The input to the algorithm is a matrix that integrates multiple datasets to score the surface proteins based on their suitability to be an optimal immunotherapeutic target. In addition to the surfaceome data generated here, we also integrated matched RNA-sequencing data from eleven of the RMS PDX models, RNA-sequencing data from GTEx (n=15,253) and a recently developed normal tissue proteomics dataset (n=201) [Jiang. Cell. 2020], a list from Gene Ontology that included genes involved in muscle development pathways, and the gene dependency list for RMS in DepMap (https://depmap.org/portal/). Results: A total of 913 and 937 high confidence surface proteins were annotated from the mass spectrometry data for fusion(+) and fusion(−) samples, respectively. A dendrogram separated the surface protein profiles into two clusters based on fusion(+) and fusion(−) RMS subtypes, thus the algorithm was run separately on each subtype. Within the top 50% of prioritized targets, 88% and 86% of the targets overlapped and 12% and 14% were identified exclusively in fusion(+) and fusion(−) subtypes, respectively. ALK, a previously putative protein marker in fusion(+) RMS, scored in the top 10% of the fusion(+) targets based on the algorithm, and surprisingly we saw abundant ALK expression in 6/14 fusion(−) PDX samples. MEGF10, a novel target, was ranked as the top target for both fusion(+) and fusion(−) RMS. MEGF10 plays a role in cell adhesion, motility, and proliferation. It scored as a significant dependency in DepMap for RMS (p-value=0.0002). Based on RNA-sequencing and proteomics, MEGF10 shows no expression in most healthy tissues surveyed, with several orders of magnitude lower expression detected in RNASeq in muscle and brain tissue, but not in the proteomic datasets. Conclusion: Here, we defined the surfaceome of RMS, and found substantial overlap in surface proteins between fusion(+) and fusion(−) RMS subtypes. We validated previous observations that ALK is expressed in RMS, here verifying that the protein is expressed on the plasma membrane. MEGF10 appears to be a strong novel candidate target for RMS immunotherapies, and ongoing work to validate our proteogenomic findings will be reported. Citation Format: Rawan Shraim, Amber K.

    Abstract: Introduction: Immunotherapeutic strategies have produced remarkable results in some malignancies. However, optimal cell surface targets in many childhood cancers remain elusive and tools for novel target discovery are limited. We developed a proteogenomic approach to identify high confidence cell surface proteins for immunotherapy development and applied it to neuroblastoma, an often fatal childhood cancer. Through the Pediatric Immunotherapy Discovery and Development Network (PI-DDN), we have extended this approach to 14 high-risk childhood cancers. This effort includes MS-based surfaceome data generation for 175 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, 30 primary patient tumors, and 10 human derived cell line models. Methods/Results: To optimize the utility of our approach and data, we are developing a web-based application called PIONEER (Pediatric Integrative Omics Network Enhancing Early Research). The goal of PIONEER is to disseminate data to the broader scientific community and to provide the necessary analysis, query and visualization tools to make these data accessible to everyone, regardless of computational expertise. A pilot version of PIONEER was developed using R Shiny Dashboard and is derived from our neuroblastoma efforts. The application is comprised of two main categories: (1) target discovery data and prioritization (2) target validation and preclinical development. Modules include proteomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, multi-omics, validation and pre-clinical drug development. Cancer ‘omics data currently housed in PIONEER include tumor and cancer cell line mass-spectrometry based proteomics, RNA-sequencing, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing. Extensive normal tissue expression data from GTEx and mass spectrometry will be integrated. Surface proteins are prioritized through an integrative multi-omic analysis of tumor and normal tissue data. Users can perform queries and cancer subtype and cross-histotype studies, apply custom cutoffs, and generate plots for visualization. We are currently adding functionality to support automatic data analysis and integration for surface proteins (SPACE: Surface Protein Analysis for Collaborative Efforts). Through the target validation and preclinical development modules, users can view an antibody repository, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, drugs in development for each protein, and efficacy in patient derived xenograft models. PIONEER will be deployed using R Connect; data for additional histotypes will be incorporated as available. Conclusion: PIONEER will provide a comprehensive characterization of the surfaceome of high-risk pediatric cancers and a web-based application for data integration, visualization and sharing. This interface facilitates the discovery of optimal immunotherapeutic drug targets in high-risk childhood cancers. Citation Format: Amber K. Weiner, Hemma Murali, Rawan Shraim, Karina L.

    Abstract: Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcaemic type ( SCCOHT ) is a rare but aggressive and untreatable malignancy affecting young women. We and others recently discovered that SMARCA4 , a gene encoding the ATPase of the SWI / SNF chromatin‐remodelling complex, is the only gene recurrently mutated in the majority of SCCOHT . The low somatic complexity of SCCOHT genomes and the prominent role of the SWI / SNF chromatin‐remodelling complex in transcriptional control of genes suggest that SCCOHT cells may rely on epigenetic rewiring for oncogenic transformation. Herein, we report that approximately 80% (19/24) of SCCOHT tumour samples have strong expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2 by immunohistochemistry, with the rest expressing variable amounts of EZH2 . Re‐expression of SMARCA4 suppressed the expression of EZH2 in SCCOHT cells. In comparison to other ovarian cell lines, SCCOHT cells displayed hypersensitivity to EZH2 shRNAs and two selective EZH2 inhibitors, GSK126 and EPZ ‐6438. EZH2 inhibitors induced cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and cell differentiation in SCCOHT cells, along with the induction of genes involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and neuron‐like differentiation. EZH2 inhibitors suppressed tumour growth and improved the survival of mice bearing SCCOHT xenografts. Therefore, our data suggest that loss of SMARCA4 creates a dependency on the catalytic activity of EZH2 in SCCOHT cells and that pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 is a promising therapeutic strategy for treating this disease.

    Abstract: Purpose: Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is the second most common bone sarcoma in children, with 1 case per 1.5 million in the United States. While the survival rate of patients diagnosed with localized disease is ~70%, this decreases to ~30% for patients with metastatic disease and only ~10% for treatment refractory disease, which have not changed for decades. Therefore new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed for metastatic and refractory EwS. Experimental Design: This study analyzed 19 unique EwS patient or cell line-derived xenografts (from 14 primary and 5 metastatic specimens) using proteomics to identify surface proteins for potential immunotherapeutic targeting. Plasma membranes were enriched using density gradient ultracentrifugation and compared to a reference standard of 12 immortalized non-EwS cell lines prepared in a similar manner. In parallel, global proteome analysis was carried out on each model to compliment the surfaceome data. All models were analyzed by Tandem Mass Tags (TMT)-based mass spectrometry to quantify identified proteins. Results: The surfaceome and global proteome analyses identified 1,131 and 1,030 annotated surface proteins, respectively. Among surface proteins identified, both approaches identified known EwS-associated proteins including IL1RAP, CD99, STEAP1, and ADGRG2, and many new cell surface targets, including ENPP1 and CDH11. Robust staining of ENPP1 was demonstrated in EwS tumors compared to other childhood sarcomas and normal tissues. Conclusions: Our comprehensive proteomic characterization of the EwS surfaceome provides a rich resource of surface-expressed proteins in EwS. This dataset provides the preclinical justification for exploration of targets such as ENPP1 for potential immunotherapeutic application in EwS.
