• W2955481016 abstract "Background: Patients with high-risk neuroblastoma endure an extremely intense, multidrug treatment regimen and yet, approximately half of them die, thus mandating a better approach to this cancer. Our laboratory is investigating the overarching hypothesis that RNA binding proteins (RBPs), which play key roles in balancing self-renewal, differentiation, and cell proliferation, are deregulated in neuroblastoma, and drive oncogenic signaling networks. Therefore, RBPs may constitute novel targets for therapeutic development. In this work, we focus on Musashi 2 (MSI2), an RBP that has been shown to play a critical role in the maintenance of stem cell populations and in the formation of aggressive tumors, notably in acute myeloid leukemia and in colon cancer. The role of MSI2 in neuroblastoma, however, has not been assessed and is the focus of this investigation. Methods: To test this hypothesis, we used in silico analysis of neuroblastoma gene expression datasets annotated with clinical parameters. Additionally, we used shRNAs to manipulate transcripts of interest in neuroblastoma cells and measured effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle status, and apoptosis. Results: Gene expression profiling revealed that MSI2 is robustly expressed in neuroblastoma cell lines, tumors, and patient derived xenografts, within both the MYCN and non-MYCN amplified context. Immunoblotting in a representative panel of lines confirmed the expression of MSI2 at the level of protein. High MSI2 expression was associated with more advanced stages of neuroblastoma across multiple independent datasets and was correlated with worse survival. Depletion of MSI2 using four independent shRNAs led to 2 to 3-fold decreased proliferation across four cell lines that was due in part to increased apoptosis. Another RBP, ELAVL1, is also expressed within neural lineages, and has been shown to regulate MSI1 expression. We hypothesized that ELAVL1 might similarly promote MSI2 expression and we demonstrated that, ELAVL1 depletion led to decreased MSI2 expression. Conclusions: MSI2 is robustly expressed in multiple models of neuroblastoma and appears to drive increased proliferation and survival. Currently, we are investigating the functional interplay between ELAVL1 and MSI2 providing a foundation for designing strategies to target the ELAVL1-MSI2 interaction for therapeutic effect.
