BRCA1, R-loops and Recombination defects in Ewing's sarcoma (RNA-seq)

GSE68836 Homo sapiens Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing 27 samples Submitted 2018/03/09 Platform GPL11154
Summary
Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) is an aggressive pediatric bone and soft tissue cancer. It is the prototypical example of mesenchymal tumors driven by a fusion oncogene involving the ewing sarcoma break point region 1 (EWSR1) gene, most frequently– EWS-FLI1. We have discovered that loss of EWSR1 leads to accumulation of R-loops, replication stress and impaired homologous recombination, recapitulating breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) deficiency. EWS-FLI1 acts dominant negatively in ESFT to impart the same phenotypes. Further we demonstrate that in ESFT, BRCA1 predominantly associates with the elongating transcription machinery and is unavailable for DNA strand break repair. Gene expression profiling identified upregulated compensatory mechanisms in ESFT cells to process increased R-loops (RNASEH2 and FEN1) and replication stress (Fanconi Anemia). Taken together, our data identifies BRCA1 sequestration due to transcription stress as the mechanistic basis for ESFT chemosensitivity and suggests potential targets for the much lacking second-line therapy.
