We previously identified two distinct molecular subtypes of osteosarcoma through
gene expression profiling. These subtypes are associated with distinct tumor
behavior and clinical outcomes. Here, we describe mechanisms that give rise to
these molecular subtypes. Using bioinformatic analyses, we identified a
significant association between deregulation of the retinoblastoma (RB)-E2F
pathway and the molecular subtype with worse clinical outcomes.
Xenotransplantation models recapitulated the corresponding behavior for each
osteosarcoma subtype; thus, we used cell lines to validate the role of the RB-E2F
pathway in regulating the prognostic gene signature. Ectopic RB resets the
patterns of E2F regulated gene expression in cells derived from tumors with worse
clinical outcomes (molecular phenotype 2) to those comparable with those observed
in cells derived from tumors with less aggressive outcomes (molecular phenotype
1), providing a functional association between RB-E2F dysfunction and altered
gene expression in osteosarcoma. DNA methyltransferase and histone deacetylase
inhibitors similarly reset the transcriptional state of the molecular phenotype 2
cells from a state associated with RB deficiency to one seen with RB sufficiency.
Our data indicate that deregulation of RB-E2F pathway alters the epigenetic
landscape and biological behavior of osteosarcoma.
