A chemical screen in mesothelioma cell lines identifies a BAP1-mutant population sensitised to the death receptor ligand rTRAIL.

(A) Area under the curve (AUC) values for 15 malignant mesothelioma (MM) cells treated for 6 days with 94 compounds. Each dot indicates the AUC value for an individual cell line treated. AUC <0.7 is indicated by the red dotted line — only those compounds with ≥2 cell lines below this value were analysed for statistically significant associations with gene mutations. The AUC values for rTRAIL are indicated by the red asterisk. (B) A Welch t-test was used to test for significant pharmacogenomics interactions between the 94 single agents in the screen and the presence of driver mutations in any of 5 MM cancer genes. Each volcano plot circle corresponds to a significant gene–drug interaction whose position on the x-axis indicates the corresponding effect size. Both half-axes are positive; the right side (green circles) indicates the effect sizes of sensitivity associations, whereas the left side (red circles) corresponds with the effect sizes of resistance associations. The position on the y-axis indicates the statistical significance of the identified interaction. The size of a given circle is proportional to the number of samples in which the selected functional event involved in the corresponding interaction occurs. Specific examples of associations are indicated where the effect size is large (rTRAIL and BAP1 mutations) or highly significant (cisplatin and CDKN2A mutations). (C) Cell viability between wild-type BAP1 (wt BAP1) (n = 10) and mutant BAP1 (mt BAP1) (n = 5) MM lines following 6 days of treatment with rTRAIL (t-test; *p=0.015). (D) Cell viability data for 17 MM lines treated for 6 days with a concentration range of rTRAIL (0.4–50 ng/ml). MM lines are coloured according to their sensitivity pattern (green = sensitive (S); orange = partially sensitive (PS); red = resistant (R)). *Indicates cell lines harbouring BAP1 mutations. (E) Immunoblot of BAP1 protein expression in BAP1-mutant versus BAP1-wild-type MM cell lines. Sensitivity to rTRAIL treatment is indicated as font colour: green (S); orange (PS); red (R).

BAP1-induced TRAIL resistance extends to other cancer subtypes and is dependent upon functional deubiquitinase and ASXL-binding sites.

(A) BAP1-wild-type H2818, MPP-89, H2373 and H2869 MM lines were transduced with BAP1 (shBAP1) or empty vector (EV) shRNA. Immunoblot confirmed BAP1 knockdown in the BAP1 shRNA-transduced cells. Parental and transduced cells were treated with rTRAIL (1000 ng/ml) and cell viability assessed after 72 hr by MTT assay (t-test; ****p<0.0001). (B) The BAP1-wild-type breast cancer line MDAMB-231 and the renal cell carcinoma (RCC) lines Caki-1 and BB65 were transduced with BAP1 (shBAP1) or empty vector (EV) shRNA. Immunoblot confirmed BAP1 knockdown in the BAP1 shRNA transduced cells. Parental and transduced cells were treated with rTRAIL (1000 ng/ml) and cell viability assessed after 72 hr by MTT assay (t-test; ****p<0.0001). (C) The rTRAIL-sensitive H226 MM line, which harbours a homozygous deletion of BAP1, was transduced with either a GFP control, wild-type BAP1 or a mutant BAP1 containing an inactive functional domain: C91A — inactivating mutation of deubiquitinase catalytic site; ΔHBM — deletion of HCF-1-binding motif; T493A — inactivating mutation of FOXK2-binding site; ΔASXL — deletion of ASXL1/2 protein-binding site; ΔCTD — deletion of C-terminal domain containing nuclear localisation signal. These transduced lines were treated with 50 ng/ml rTRAIL and cell death assessed with XTT assay (one-way ANOVA; **p<0.01). (D) The parental and transduced H226 MM lines were treated with a concentration range (1–100 pM) of the small molecule death receptor agonist MEDI3039 and cell viability assessed with XTT assay. (E) The BAP1-wild-type MPP-89 MM line was transduced with ASXL1 (shASXL1), ASXL2 (shASXL2) or empty vector (EV) shRNA. qPCR confirmed a decrease in ASXL1 and ASXL2 mRNA expression in the ASXL1 shRNA and ASXL2 shRNA-transduced cells, respectively (Figure 2—figure supplement 6). Parental and transduced cells were treated with a concentration range (1–100 pM) of MEDI3039 and cell viability assessed with XTT assay. (F) Differential gene expression of apoptosis regulator genes in the catalytically inactive BAP1-mutant (C91A) relative to the wild-type BAP1-transduced (wt BAP1) H226 cells. (G) Immunoblot of apoptosis regulator proteins in the catalytically inactive BAP1-mutant (C91A), inactive ASXL1/2-binding site BAP1-mutant (ΔASXL) or wild-type BAP1-transduced (wt BAP1) H226 cells. (H) Flow cytometry analysis of death receptor 4 (DR4) and 5 (DR5) cell surface expression in H226 cells transduced with the catalytically inactive BAP1-mutant (C91A) or wild-type BAP1 (wt BAP1) and of BAP1-wild-type H2818 MM cells transduced with BAP1 (KD) or empty vector (EV) shRNA. The values represent the median fluorescence intensity (MFI).

Loss of functional BAP1 leads to TRAIL sensitivity in early passage mesothelioma cell lines, human tumour explants and mouse xenograft models.

(A) Mean cell viability effect between human early passage MM cell lines (positive nuclear BAP1 staining; n = 13 and negative nuclear BAP1 staining; n = 12) as assessed by immunohistochemistry following 3 days of treatment with rTRAIL (50 ng/ml) (t-test, p=0.0067). (B) Immunohistochemical images of tumour explants derived from three MM patients treated with either vehicle or rTRAIL for 24 hr. Explants were stained with anti-BAP1 and anti-cleaved PARP (marker for apoptosis) antibodies. (C) The percentage of cleaved PARP-positive cells in tumour explants derived from three patients and treated with either vehicle or 0, 50, 100 and 200 ng/ml of rTRAIL for 24 hr was scored based on the percentage of cells with nuclear cleaved PARP-positive staining. (D) Weights of tumour xenografts derived from BAP1-wild-type (wt BAP1) versus catalytically inactive BAP1-mutant (C91A mt BAP1) transduced MM cells following treatment with either vehicle or TRAIL (600 μg per mouse) at the time of sacrifice (day 42) (t-test). (E) Serial bioluminescence imaging of BAP1-wild-type (wt BAP1) and catalytically inactive BAP1-mutant (C91A) MM xenografts in mice treated with either vehicle or TRAIL. Mice were imaged on day 0 (after tumour inoculation), day 13 (before TRAIL administration) and day 41 (time of sacrifice). The intensity of luminescence is denoted by colour: red - high luciferase signal (high tumour burden) and blue - low luciferase signal (low tumour burden). (F) A time-course of bioluminescence scores in BAP1-wild-type (wt BAP1) versus catalytically inactive BAP1-mutant (C91A) MM tumour xenografts. Bioluminescence was measured on days 0, 13, 19, 26 and 41, 15 min after injecting the mice with 0.2 ml luciferin intraperitoneally. The number of photons emitted per second indicates the tumour burden (two way ANOVA).

Tumour explants were obtained by cutting primary pleural tissue from patients with MM who underwent pleurectomy into fragments of approximately 2 mm3.

The explants were treated with vehicle or rTRAIL (50 ng/ml, 100 ng/ml or 200 ng/ml) for 24 hr, following which time explants were fixed and stained for cleaved-PARP (which is a marker of apoptosis).

Mice were divided into two groups, each of which received 600 μg TRAIL or vehicle 6 days a week (day 14–40). Tumour size was assessed longitudinally with bioluminescence imaging on days 0, 13, 19, 26 and 41.

Results of Welch’s two sample t-test from analysis of 45 single compounds that ≥2 cell lines demonstrated sensitivity to (AUC <0.7) and using the mutation status of eight genes implicated as drivers in mesothelioma in each cell line.

A 6 day viability assay was used to determine cell line sensitivity. False discovery associations < 0.2 are highlighted as red font. Whether a mutation is associated with resistance or sensitivity to that compound is indicated by red or green in the ‘effect’ column, respectively.

Description of BAP1 mutations detected in 15 mesothelioma cell lines and the sensitivity of the cell lines to rTRAIL (as measured by a 6 day viability assay).

The sensitivity of each cell line is indicated in the last column as sensitive (green), partially sensitive (orange) or resistant (red).

Differential gene expression values of apoptotic genes in H226 mesothelioma cells transduced with either the catalytically inactive C91A BAP1 mutant (C91A) or wild-type BAP1 (WT).
