Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer, arising in the developing sympathetic nervous system. Differentiation therapy with 13-cis-retinoic acid (RA) is routinely given to children with high-risk neuroblastoma in the minimal residual disease setting to prevent relapse, however there is little understanding of which patients benefit from RA therapy. ATRX alterations are identified in 10% of high-risk neuroblastomas and associated with poor outcomes. The commonest type of ATRX alterations in neuroblastoma are in-frame multi-exon deletions, followed by nonsense mutations predicted to result in loss-of-function (ATRX LoF). We treated paired ATRX wild-type and ATRX LoF neuroblastoma cell lines with RA and show that cells with ATRX LoF fail to upregulate direct RA target genes. Cells with ATRX LoF also show reduced chromatin accessibility at genes involved in differentiation and development following RA treatment. Conversely, neuroblastoma models with in-frame deletions mount a response to RA and show in-vitro sensitivity to RA. Taken together this shows that the mechanism of differentiation in ATRX-altered neuroblastoma depends on the type of ATRX alteration, with implications relating to both oncogenesis and therapeutic response.
