Paper
Class IIa HDACs forced degradation allows resensitization of oxaliplatin-resistant FBXW7-mutated colorectal cancerMolecular oncology · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Epigenetic plasticity and large-scale chromatin remodeling characterize tumor evolution and the emergence of subclones resistant to conventional therapies. Catalytically inactive class IIa HDACs (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC7, HDAC9) act as acetyl-lysine readers that form the scaffold for the targeted recruitment of chromatin remodeling complexes, making them very attractive therapeutic targets in the field of oncology.

In this study, we found that HDAC4 is proteasomal degraded in cancer cells impaired in DNA repair by homologous recombination. Genetic screening identified FBXW7 as the E3 ligase responsible for this degradation. FBXW7 loss-of-function (LOF) mutations are frequently found in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), and FBXW7 mutation status is associated with the development of resistance to oxaliplatin. Deletion of HDAC4 or its forced degradation with a PROTAC-based compound restored Oxaliplatin sensitivity in FBXW7-mutated CRC cells, patient-derived organoids (PDOs) and xenografts, with no effect on DNA damage response activation or DNA platination. Mechanistically, forced removal of HDAC4 in FBXW7-mutant CRC cells and PDOs treated with Oxaliplatin resulted in a deep rearrangement of the super-enhancer landscape, with a dramatic loss of super-enhancers found in Oxaliplatin-resistant samples and restoration of defined super-enhancers found in Oxaliplatin-sensitive cells. The pharmacological disassembly of HDAC4 complexes partially recapitulated the effects obtained with the PROTAC-based HDAC4 compound, demonstrating the importance of the epigenetic function of HDAC4 in supporting drug resistance. This study supports HDAC4 as a key mediator of Oxaliplatin resistance in FBXW7-mutated CRC and highlights the remodeling of a well-defined repertoire of super-enhancers as part of the process of successful re-sensitization.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE270840_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1128608 and SRA study SRP516255. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
