AbstractRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma of childhood characterized by the inability to exit the proliferative myoblast-like stage. The alveolar fusion positive subtype (FP-ARMS) is the most aggressive and is mainly caused by the expression of PAX3/7-FOXO1 oncoproteins, which are challenging pharmacological targets. Thus, other therapeutic vulnerabilities resulting from gene expression changes are progressively being recognized. Here, we identified the DEAD box RNA helicase 5 (DDX5) as a potential therapeutic target to inhibit FP-ARMS growth. We show that DDX5 is overexpressed in alveolar RMS cells, demonstrating that its depletion drastically decreases FP-ARMS viability and slows tumor growth in xenograft models. Mechanistically, we provide evidence that DDX5 functions upstream the G9a/AKT survival signalling pathway, by modulating G9a protein stability. Finally, we show that G9a interacts with PAX3-FOXO1 and regulates its activity, thus sustaining FP-ARMS myoblastic state. Together, our findings identify a novel survival-promoting loop in FP-ARMS and highlight DDX5 as potential therapeutic target to arrest rhabdomyosarcoma growth.
