    Abstract: Forkhead box R2 (FOXR2) is a forkhead transcription factor located on the X chromosome whose expression is normally restricted to the testis. In this study, we performed a pan-cancer analysis of FOXR2 activation across more than 10,000 adult and pediatric cancer samples and found FOXR2 to be aberrantly upregulated in 70% of all cancer types and 8% of all individual tumors. The majority of tumors (78%) aberrantly expressed FOXR2 through a previously undescribed epigenetic mechanism that involves hypomethylation of a novel promoter, which was functionally validated as necessary for FOXR2 expression and proliferation in FOXR2-expressing cancer cells. FOXR2 promoted tumor growth across multiple cancer lineages and co-opted ETS family transcription circuits across cancers. Taken together, this study identifies FOXR2 as a potent and ubiquitous oncogene that is epigenetically activated across the majority of human cancers. The identification of hijacking of ETS transcription circuits by FOXR2 extends the mechanisms known to active ETS transcription factors and highlights how transcription factor families cooperate to enhance tumorigenesis. Significance: This work identifies a novel promoter that drives aberrant FOXR2 expression and delineates FOXR2 as a pan-cancer oncogene that specifically activates ETS transcriptional circuits across human cancers.

    Abstract: Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), the most common childhood brain tumor, is a low-grade glioma with a single driver BRAF rearrangement. Here, we perform scRNAseq in six PAs using methods that enabled detection of the rearrangement. When compared to higher-grade gliomas, a strikingly higher proportion of the PA cancer cells exhibit a differentiated, astrocyte-like phenotype. A smaller proportion of cells exhibit a progenitor-like phenotype with evidence of proliferation. These express a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) programme that was absent from higher-grade gliomas. Immune cells, especially microglia, comprise 40% of all cells in the PAs and account for differences in bulk expression profiles between tumor locations and subtypes. These data indicate that MAPK signaling is restricted to relatively undifferentiated cancer cells in PA, with implications for investigational therapies directed at this pathway.

    Abstract: The role of PPM1D mutations in de novo gliomagenesis has not been systematically explored. Here we analyze whole genome sequences of 170 pediatric high-grade gliomas and find that truncating mutations in PPM1D that increase the stability of its phosphatase are clonal driver events in 11% of Diffuse Midline Gliomas (DMGs) and are enriched in primary pontine tumors. Through the development of DMG mouse models, we show that PPM1D mutations potentiate gliomagenesis and that PPM1D phosphatase activity is required for in vivo oncogenesis. Finally, we apply integrative phosphoproteomic and functional genomics assays and find that oncogenic effects of PPM1D truncation converge on regulators of cell cycle, DNA damage response, and p53 pathways, revealing therapeutic vulnerabilities including MDM2 inhibition.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Understanding how aberrant transcription factors (TFs) hijack normal development to induce oncogenesis is a critical question in oncology. Forkhead box (FOX) proteins are a superfamily of transcriptional regulators characterized by a forkhead DNA-binding domain. Within this family, Forkhead Box R2 (FOXR2) has been identified as a candidate structural variant (SV) driver in a subset of pediatric cancers including CNS embryonal tumors and peripheral neuroblastoma. While FOXR2 has been shown to stabilize MYC isoforms, the mechanistic details through which it enhances tumor formation, other non-SV mechanisms of activating aberrant expression, and the true extent of its role as an oncogene across all cancers have not been systematically evaluated. METHODS: We applied an integrative approach using transcriptomics, epigenetics, in vitro cancer models, and in vivo mouse models to systematically evaluate the mechanisms by which FOXR2 is activated across human cancers. RESULTS: We performed a pan-cancer analysis of FOXR2 activation across over 10,000 adult and pediatric cancer samples, and surprisingly found FOXR2 to be aberrantly upregulated in 70% of all cancer types (including diffuse midline gliomas), and 8% of all individual tumors. FOXR2 expression occurred predominantly in the absence of rearrangement/fusions, single nucleotide variants, or copy number aberrations at the DNA level. Transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses show the vast majority of tumors (78%) aberrantly express FOXR2 through a previously undescribed epigenetic mechanism via hypomethylation of a novel promoter. Using both in vitro and in vivo models, we demonstrate that FOXR2 expression is both sufficient and necessary for transformation across multiple lineages, including DMGs. CONCLUSION: Taken together, this study demonstrates that FOXR2 is a novel and potent oncogene across pediatric and adult cancers, and highlights a new epigenetic mechanism by which its expression is activated.

    Abstract: Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) are the most frequent brain tumors in children and comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors with different locations, histologic subtypes, ages at presentation, and clinical behavior. Tumors frequently respond to treatment with chemotherapy or surgical removal, but they can regrow after a period of quiescence, requiring further therapy. Thus, a deeper understanding of the molecular processes involved in these tumors is required to develop therapeutic strategies that are effective against their disease mechanisms. To better understand the cellular behaviors of this heterogenous group of tumors, we have employed single-cell and single-nuclei RNA sequencing technologies to analyze a large-scale dataset ( & gt;250,000 cells) of pLGGs. Analysis of this data identified a heterogenous population of cell types and cell states, detecting mature and progenitor-like astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, as well as cells exhibiting senescence or cycling programs. Moreover, we identify a significant immune infiltrate, comprised primarily of microglia. In addition to heterogeneity within pLGG tumors, heterogeneity between LGG subtypes represents another layer that stratifies pLGG biology. We performed a compositional analysis of the cell types present in these tumors and compared transcription signatures and gene expression programs across shared cellular populations of histologically and genetically distinct pLGGs. Finally, we optimized our integration and batch correction analyses by using external 293T cells as spike in controls during our single-cell and single-nuclei data generation steps to determine the most suitable method for batch-effect removal. Our analysis of human pLGGs at the single-cell and single-nuclei resolution provides critical insight into the heterogenous biological activities that constitute these tumors.

    Abstract 3562: Dissecting mechanisms underlying FOXR2 -mediated gliomagenesis in diffuse midline gliomas

    Abstract: Background: Diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are a universally fatal brain tumor of childhood. While histone mutations are a critical tumor initiating event, they are insufficient to drive gliomagenesis. Histone mutations co-occur with somatic alterations in other pathways including TP53, MAPK, and MYC signaling. However, the mechanisms through which these pathways are activated have not been fully elucidated. Methods: We applied an integrative approach using transcriptomics, epigenetics, proteomics, in vitro cancer models, and in vivo mouse models to systematically evaluate how FOXR2 mediates gliomagenesis. Results: We have recently found that a subset of DMGs aberrantly express FOXR2, a forkhead transcription factor. FOXR2 is both sufficient to enhance tumor formation, and necessary for FOXR2-expressing DMGs. While FOXR2 indeed enhances MYC protein stability, FOXR2 exerts oncogenesis through MYC-independent functions and specifically hijacks E26-transformation specific (ETS) transcriptional circuits and FOXR2 DNA-binding is highly enriched at ETS motifs. We have performed proteomic and phospho-proteomic analysis of FOXR2-expressing human neural stem cells to identify proteins and phospho-sites that are highly enriched in FOXR2-expressing cells. Conclusion: Taken together, this study elucidates how FOXR2 interacts with ETS transcription factors to mediate oncogenesis, and further highlights a role for FOXR2 in activating ETS and MAPK signaling.

    Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas (ACPs) are rare brain tumors that primarily occur in children and impact long-term morbidity and mortality. The canonical driver mutation for ACP growth occurs in CTNNB1 and leads to constitutive activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In this study, we outline the genomic, transcriptomic, and structural variant (SV) landscape in a cohort of 41 ACP samples. METHODS: We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA-sequencing of 41 ACP samples. Matched normal samples were also characterized by WGS. Mutect2 was used to detect single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and indels, and copy number data was generated using the GATK pipeline. SvABA was used to perform SV analysis and to identify significantly recurrent breakpoints and juxtapositions. DESeq2 was used to perform differential gene expression analysis based on clinical and molecular annotation data. RESULTS: 29/41 (70%) of the ACP samples harbored missense mutations in exon 3 of CTNNB1, all of which have previously been reported in ACP tumors. SV analysis identified a median of 11.5 events per tumor. Overall, 9.7% of events were interchromosomal. Of the remainder, the majority (78.6%) were deletions. No SVs occurred within CTNNB1. A positive correlation (r = 0.533) was observed between the frequency of SVs and SNVs within samples. Analysis of significantly recurring breakpoints (SRBs) did not identify recurrent breakpoint events. Differential gene expression analysis comparing samples with and without CTNNB1 variants identified 2,143 differentially expressed genes with q-value & lt; 0.05. CONCLUSION: This study identifies activating mutations in exon 3 of CTNNB1 in a large cohort of ACP samples. We also integrate SV and transcriptomic data to comprehensively investigate ACP tumor genomes and identify putative novel tumorigenic mechanisms that advance our understanding of ACP biology.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Genomic and transcriptomic studies have elucidated new insights into the landscape of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). However, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has not been explored at depth in these tumors, and there have not been studies focused on how lncRNAs interact with the K27M histone mutation. In a recent analysis of nearly 200 DIPGs and pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG), we previously detected a novel, recurring structural variant in the lncRNA CCDC26. This rearrangement occurs in nearly 10% of all DIPGs, and we have furthermore identified alterations in more than 100 lncRNAs in DIPG. METHODS: To identify lncRNAs required for proliferation of patient-derived DIPG cancer cells, we designed two custom genome-scale lncRNA libraries. We generated a genome-scale lncRNA CRISPR-Cas9 knockout pooled library, consisting of 45,766 single guide RNAs (sgRNAs). Additionally, we generated a genome-wide CRISPR interference pooled library consisting of 45,608 sgRNAs, targeting lncRNA transcription start sites (TSS). RESULTS: We utilized in vitro histone-mutant pHGG models as well as edited clones of these models with the K27M mutant corrected in order to compare lncRNA dependencies in these two contexts. We have successfully performed genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout and CRISPR interference screens targeting lncRNAs in these cell lines, revealing lncRNA dependencies. Candidate dependencies in our CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen include LOC100507412, LOC105379524, and LINC02193. CONCLUSION: Genome-wide lncRNA CRISPR knock-out and CRISPR interference screens are a novel approach for the unbiased identification of lncRNAs that are required for pediatric high-grade glioma proliferation. Further validation of specific lncRNAs is required, and these lncRNA dependencies represent potential novel therapeutic targets.

    Abstract: Recurrent structural variants involving MYB and MYBL1 transcription factors were recently identified in pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs), such as the MYB-QKI rearrangement in Angiocentric Gliomas and truncations of MYBL1 (MYBL1tr) in Diffuse Astrocytomas. However, therapeutic dependencies induced by these alterations remain unexplored. METHODOLOGY We have generated in vitro pLGG mouse neural stem cell (NSCs) models engineered to harbor distinct MYB/MYBL1 genomic alterations. We used single cell RNA sequencing approaches to determine the transcriptional profile and dissect the central regulatory networks of our in vitro pLGG models over time. To identify specific genetic dependencies associated with MYB/MYBL1 mutations, we employed the Brie genome-wide mouse CRISPR lentiviral knockout pooled library, consisting of 78,637 single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting 19,674 mouse genes. RESULTS MYB/MYBL1 expression in neural stem cells induced activation of cell-cycle related, glioma-related and senescence-related pathways that are involved in normal development, including activation of MAPK and mTOR signaling which are also activated in human pLGG samples. Genome-scale CRISPR-cas9 screens in isogenic NSCs expressing MYB-QKI or MYBL1tr identified differential genetic dependencies relative to GFP controls. These included regulators of cell-cycle progression and several modulators of the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation pathway. Analysis of RNA-sequencing data from human tumors revealed several of these dependencies identified in the cell line model to be differentially expressed in MYB-altered pLGG tumors relative to normal brain. CONCLUSION Expression of MYB family alterations induces expression of key developmental and oncogenic pathways and genetic dependencies that represent potential therapeutic targets for MYB or MYBL1 rearranged pLGGs.
