The BAF complex blocks Myogenesis in rhabdomyosarcoma

Description

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant pediatric cancer of skeletal muscle lineage. The aggressive alveolar subtype is commonly characterized by t(2;13) or t(1;13) translocations with the expression of PAX3- or PAX7-FOXO1 fusion transcription factors respectively and is known as fusion positive RMS (FP-RMS). FP-RMS tumors rely on the fusion gene to maintain their proliferative state while avoiding terminal differentiation program. Since disruptions of normal development are likely governed by epigenetic changes in these low-mutational-burden tumors, we investigated the contributions of chromatin regulatory complexes to RMS tumor maintenance. We demonstrate the essentiality of the mSWI/SNF ATPase BRG1 for FP-RMS proliferation and discover that RMS significantly overexpress SMARCA4 (encoding BRG1) compared to skeletal muscle. We define the mSWI/SNF subunit repertoire in FP-RMS and provide evidence for the assembly of multiple mSWI/SNF complexes including canonical BAF, PBAF and non-canonical (nc)BAF in FP-RMS. Proteomic studies suggest proximity between PAX3-FOXO1 and BAF complexes, which was further supported by genome-wide binding profiles revealing enhancer colocalization of BAF with FP-RMS core regulatory transcription factors. We report that mSWI/SNF complexes act as sensors of chromatin state, which are recruited to sites of de novo histone acetylation. Phenotypically, interference with mSWI/SNF complex function induces transcriptional activation of the skeletal muscle differentiation program associated with MYCN enhancer invasion at myogenic target genes. Finally, BRG1 targeting compounds reproduce the effects of genetic ablation. We conclude that inhibition of BRG1 overcomes the differentiation blockade of FP-RMS cells and may provide a therapeutic strategy for treating this lethal childhood tumor.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
