EED helps small cell lung cancer keep its neuroendocrine state by repressing lung adenocarcinoma genes: doi.org/10.1172/JCI199454 Matthew G. Oser @oser_lab & team @danafarber & @BrighamWomens report the polycomb scaffolding subunit EED as a key supporter of small-cell lung cancer neuroendocrine identity and EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma-to-small-cell lung cancer transformation. Notably, inactivation of EED in mice impaired small cell lung cancer tumorigenesis. The figure: EED inactivation promotes a shift from SCLC toward LUAD histology in an RPR2 GEMM in vivo. @the_asci #LungCancer #SCLC

Excited to share another new study from our lab, co-led by Keita Masuzawa and Kevin Dong: “A HUWE1 Regulatory Helix Gates ASCL1 Degradation Through Its C-Terminal Phospho-Degron in Small Cell Lung Cancer.” genesdev.cshlp.org/content/e…

In this work, we combine genome-wide CRISPR knockout screening with base editor screening to identify regulators of ASCL1 protein abundance in SCLC and uncover a mechanism by which HUWE1 controls ASCL1 degradation through its C-terminal phospho-degron.

Beyond ASCL1, this study provides a generalizable framework for using complementary CRISPR-based screening approaches to dissect the regulation and function of lineage TFs in their endogenous cellular context. Congratulations to Keita, Kevin, and everyone involved in this work!

This study was led by our fabulous postdoctoral fellow Yixiang Li, who drove the mouse modeling, wet-lab experiments, and bioinformatic analyses-a true tour de force! Yixiang is a K99 awardee and is currently on the faculty job market. He is an exceptionally talented!

Dear Colleagues, In two weeks, I’ll ride the Pan-Mass Challenge (162 miles) for the second year in honor of my parents and everyone affected by cancer.100% of every donation supports cancer research at DFCI. Please consider donating. Thank you in advance! profile.pmc.org/pmc/MO0250

Excited to share our latest preprint, a wonderful collaboration w/ Matt Freedman and Sylvan Baca’s labs. Leveraging cfChIP-seq from patient plasma + functional mouse modeling, we uncover how TF subtype shapes response and resistance to tarlatamab in SCLC. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Our latest collaboration with #MattFreedman and @Oser_Lab on resistance to tarlatamab: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…. An exciting framework for studying cancer resistance: observations from patients using epigenomic #LiquidBiopsy -> functional validation in mouse models.

Excited to share our new work in Dev Cell (authors.elsevier.com/a/1lg4l…), led by my highly talented postdoc Deli Hong! We find that loss of NOTCH2 creates a dependency on TRIM28, highlighting TRIM28 as a potential therapeutic target in NOTCH2-deficient or low-NOTCH2 SCLC.

Thrilled to share our new work published in Nature (rdcu.be/eBCM0). We report an exciting new potential therapeutic strategy with a fascinating mechanism of action for cancers with a compromised G1–S cell cycle checkpoint, including SCLC. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
