Cytotoxic effects of Bortezomib in Myelodysplastic syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia depend on autophagy-mediated lysosomal degradation of TRAF6 and repression of PSMA1

ABSTRACT: Bortezomib (VelcadeM-BM-)) is widely used for the treatment of various human cancers, however, its mechanisms of action are not fully understood, particularly in myeloid malignancies. Bortezomib is a selective and reversible inhibitor of the proteasome. Paradoxically, we find that Bortezomib induces proteasome-independent degradation of TRAF6 protein, but not mRNA, in Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) cell lines and primary cells. The reduction in TRAF6 protein coincides with Bortezomib-induced autophagy, and subsequently with apoptosis in MDS/AML cells. RNAi-mediated knockdown of TRAF6 sensitized Bortezomib-sensitive and -resistant cell lines, underscoring the importance of TRAF6 in Bortezomib-induced cytotoxicity. Bortezomib-resistant cells expressing an shRNA targeting TRAF6 were resensitized to the cytotoxic effects of Bortezomib due to down-regulation of the proteasomal subunit alpha-1 (PSMA1). To uncover the molecular consequences following loss of TRAF6 in MDS/AML cells, we applied gene expression profiling and identified an apoptosis gene signature. Knockdown of TRAF6 in MDS/AML cell lines or patient samples resulted in rapid apoptosis and impaired malignant hematopoietic stem/progenitor function. In summary, we describe novel mechanisms by which TRAF6 is regulated through Bortezomib/autophagy-mediated degradation and by which it alters MDS/AML sensitivity to Bortezomib by controlling PSMA1 expression. TF-1 cells were transduced with lentivirus encoding shRNA targeting human TRAF6 and a negative control (pLKO) for 2.5 days. GFP positive cells were sorted for RNA exctration, labeling, and hybridization. A total of four samples were included, and two groups are assigned. Two replicates are for each group. Comparison comprises mRNA expression profile of TRAF6 knockdown (shT6) v.s. control vector (pLKO).

Project description:TRAF-interacting protein with forkhead-associated domain B (TIFAB) is a haploinsufficient gene in del(5q) Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Hematopoietic-specific deletion of Tifab results in progressive bone marrow (BM) and blood defects, including skewed hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) proportions, altered myeloid differentiation, and progressive cytopenia. A subset of mice transplanted with Tifab knockout (KO) hematopoietic cells develop a bone marrow failure (BMF)-like disease with neutrophil dysplasia and cytopenia. In competitive transplants, Tifab KO HSPC are out-competed by wild-type (WT) cells, suggesting a cell-intrinsic HSPC defect. Gene expression analysis of Tifab KO HSPC identified dysregulation of immune-related signatures, and hypersensitivity to Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) stimulation. TIFAB also forms a complex with TRAF6, a mediator of immune signaling, and reduces TRAF6 protein stability by a lysosome-dependent mechanism. In contrast, TIFAB loss increases TRAF6 protein and the dynamic range of TLR4 signaling in HSPC, contributing to ineffective hematopoiesis. Moreover, combined deletion of TIFAB and miR-146a, two genes associated with del(5q) MDS/AML, results in a cooperative increase in TRAF6 expression and hematopoietic dysfunction in vivo. Re-expression of TIFAB in human del(5q) leukemic cells results in attenuated TLR4 signaling and reduced cell viability. These findings underscore the importance of efficient regulation of innate immune/TRAF6 signaling within HSPC by TIFAB, and its cooperation with miR-146a as it relates to the pathogenesis of hematopoietic malignancies, such as del(5q) MDS/AML. We performed an expression analysis on sorted lineage-Sca1+cKit+ (LSK) isolated from bone marrow (BM) of 3 month old mice transplanted with Tifab+/+ (WT) or Tifab-/- (KO) BM cells (n = 3 mice/group). We selected this time point to capture the gene expression profile of Tifab-/- LSK after engraftment but prior to overt hematopoietic failure. Total RNA was extracted, purified, reverse transcribed, labeled, and hybridized onto the GeneChip MoGene 2.0 ST Array (Affymetrix). Comparison comprises mRNA expression profile of Tifab+/+ LSK vs. Tifab-/- LSK.
