3 Page3 Epigenetic drug treatment Epigenetic changes are potentially reversible DNMT- and HDAC-inhibitors received FDA approval Mechanistic basis of clinical activity not fully understood Reactivation of epigenetically silenced TSGs Up-regulation of double stranded RNA molecules ( viral mimicry )

4 Page4 Omics approach to characterize the mode of action of epigenetic drugs Treatment DAC (DNA hypomethylation) SB939 (Histone acetylation) DAC+SB939 Next-generation sequencing Cap-analysis of gene expression (CAGE) Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Whole-genome bisulfite (WGBS) Integrative data analysis TSS activity (CAGE) DNA methylation (WGBS) Chromatin modifications (ChIP)

5 Page5 Experimental outline

6 Page6 Epigenetic treatment globally alters TSS activity in cancer cells

7 Page7 Treatment-induced non-annotated transcripts (TINATs) arise after inhibition of epigenetic enzymes

8 Page8 TINAT expression in comparison with FANTOM5 data

9 Page9 Splicing event of TINATs

10 TINAT-exon fusion transcripts encode novel protein isoforms Page10 Translation: In silico prediction In vitro translation Polysome profiling MHC I binding Aberrant isoforms

11 Cell viability of NCI-H1299 cells using DOX-inducible TINAT-derived ORFs Page11

12 Global epigenomic reprogramming after DNMT or HDAC inhibition Page12 H2AK9ac H3K23ac

13 Cryptic transcripts (TINATs) predominantly arise from LTR12C elements Page13

14 LTR12C promoter region: putative NFY, SP1, and GATA2 binding sites Page14

15 10/1/2017 LTR12C Page15 expression upon epigenetic drug treatment and sirna-gata2 k.o. => GATA2 protein is required for LTR12C reactivation

16 Page16 Summary Genome wide reactivation of cryptic transcripts (TINATs) via epigenetic drug treatment (DNMTis and/or HDACis) TINATs arise from retroviral elements (mainly LTR12 family) Splicing events and protein coding potential of TINATs TINAT-exon fusion transcripts encode novel protein isoforms with predicted abnormal or immunogenic function Reactivation of ERV1 elements dependent on TFs (GATA2, NFY, others?)
