Summary (written by the submitters)
Dysfunction of epigenetic modulators such as the SWI/SNF complex is involved in a wide spectrum of cancer entities, yet their precise role in carcinogenesis is not clear to date Among SWI/SNF-mutant entities, SMARCB1-deficient cancers such as Epithelioid Sarcoma (EpS) are characterized by this genetic event in an otherwise rather silent mutational landscape.

However, its oncogenic role remains unclear. Here, we generate a panel of SMARCB1 re-expressing Epithelioid Sarcoma (EpS) cell lines and employ a functional multi-omics approach to characterize and compare the function of the residual SMARCB1-deficient and the physiological SWI/SNF complex in EpS. We show that SWI/SNF holds canonical characteristics of both tumor-suppressors and proto-oncogenes due to its multi-faceted role in the regulation of the epigenome. Our data indicates that the loss of SMARCB1 causes an overall loss of SWI/SNF chromatin affinity at cis-regulatory enhancer elements, inducing a preference for uncontrolled proliferation and cell cycle progression as opposed to development and differentiation. As epigenetic regulation is a dynamic complex, we further demonstrate that EpS cell lines depend on continuous residual SWI/SNF action to maintain clonogenicity and proliferation. Consequently, our models exhibit markedly increased sensitivity to pharmacological inhibition of the residual SWI/SNF when compared with SWI/SNF-proficient cancer entities. Collectively, our results shed new light on the pleiotropic, deregulated pathways upon SWI/SNF dysfunction in EpS and provide inroads for further therapeutic approaches.

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 GSE281434_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.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

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 PRJNA1183856 and SRA study SRP544125. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
