Tet1 plays an essential oncogenic role in MLL-rearranged leukemia

ABSTRACT: TET1, the founding member of the TET family of enzymes (TET1/2/3) that convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), was first identified as a partner gene in MLL-rearranged leukemia, but its definitive pathological role in leukemia is unclear. The down-regulation of all three TET genes and loss-of-function mutations of TET2 have been frequently observed in various cancers, and it was thought that they all play tumor-suppressor roles in tumorigenesis. Here we show that TET1 is likely a direct target of MLL and significantly up-regulated in MLL-rearranged leukemia, associated with an increased level of 5hmC. Our further in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that Tet1 plays an indispensable oncogenic role in MLL-rearranged leukemia, through cooperating with MLL fusion proteins in regulating their co-targets including the Hoxa/Meis1/Pbx3/Flt3 genes. Our data delineate a MLL-fusion/Tet1/Hoxa/Meis1/Pbx3/Flt3 signaling axis in MLL-rearranged leukemia, and highlight TET1 as a potential therapeutic target in treating this presently therapy-resistant disease. We report genome-wide 5hmC enrichment profiles and RNA-Seq gene expression in MLL-AF9 transformed and control mouse bone marrow mononuclear cells. These 5hmC profiles are derived from selctive chemical labeling and enrichment of 5hmC containing genomic DNA fragments, while the RNA-Seq expression profiles are generated from polyA enriched RNA

shRNA profiling of human MLL cells reveals HOXA9 is required for survival in human MLL rearranged acute leukemias

Project description:Leukemias that harbor translocations involving the mixed lineage leukemia gene (MLL) possess unique biological characteristics and often have an unfavorable prognosis. Gene expression analyses demonstrate a distinct profile for MLL-rearranged leukemias with consistent high-level expression of select Homeobox genes including HOXA9. Here, we investigated the effects of HOXA9 suppression in MLL-rearranged and MLL-germline leukemias utilizing RNAi. Gene expression profiling after HOXA9 suppression demonstrated co-downregulation of a program highly expressed in human MLL-AML (this study) and murine MLL-leukemia (Krivtsov et al. 2006) stem cells including HOXA10, MEIS1, PBX3 and MEF2C. Our data indicates an important role for HOXA9 in human MLL-rearranged leukemias, and suggests targeting HOXA9 or downstream programs may be a novel therapeutic option. Experiment Overall Design: RNA was purified from t(9;11) MOLM-14 AML cells 44h after transduction in triplicates with 2 of the two most effective HOXA9shRNA constructs (3 x 1F3-HOXA9shRNA; 3 x 2A5-HOXA9shRNA) or GFP-controlshRNA (6x).

PBX3 cooperates with MEISI in causing rapid acute myeloid leukemia and recapitulates the core transcriptome of MLL-rearranged leukemia

Project description:To investigate whether co-expression of PBX3/MEIS1 can mimic that of MLL-AF9, HOXA9/MEIS1 or HOXA9/PBX3 in inducing leukemogenesis, we conducted in vivo mouse bone marrow transplantation (BMT) assays. Briefly, normal mouse bone marrow (BM) progenitor (i.e., lineage negative; Lin-) cells collected from B6.SJL (CD45.1) donor mice (CD45.1) were retrovirally co-transduced with MSCVneo-MLL-AF9+MSCV-PIG (MLL-AF9), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG (HOXA9), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG-MEIS1 (HOXA9+MEIS1), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG-PBX3 (HOXA9+PBX3), MSCV-PIG-PBX3+MSCVneo-MEIS1 (PBX3+MEIS1), MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG-PBX3 (PBX3) , MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG-MEIS1 (MEIS1), or MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG (normal control; NC). Retrovirally transduced cells then were cultured with cytokines as well as puromycin and G418. Seven days later, the donor cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated (960 rads) 8- to 10-week-old C57BL/6 (CD45.2) recipient mice. The transplanted mice were watched for leukemogenesis. Then, gene expression profiling was conducted with bone marrow samples collected from leukemia groups and control group.

TGIF1 is a negative regulator of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemias

Project description:Members of the TALE (Three-amino acid loop extension) family of atypical homeodomain-containing transcription factors are prominent downstream effectors of oncogenic fusion proteins generated from translocations involving the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene. A particular well-characterized member of this protein family is MEIS1, which together with HOXA proteins, orchestrates a transcriptional program required for the maintenance of MLL-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although TALE family proteins are mainly described as transcriptional activators TGIF1 (TGF-β induced factor) / TGIF2 are considered as transcriptional repressors. However, as their function in MLL-rearranged AML is largely unknown, we tested the potential importance of TGIF1 in the maintenance of MLL-rearranged AML. We find that expression of TGIF1 in MLL-AF9 transformed cells (MAF9) leads to cell cycle exit and differentiation in vitro and delayed leukemic onset in vivo. In accordance, MLL-rearranged patient blasts display lower levels of TGIF1 and TGIF1 expression in general correlates positively with survival. Mechanistically, we show that TGIF1 interferes with a MEIS1-dependent transcriptional program by associating to MEIS1-bound region in a competitive manner. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that TALE family members can act both positively and negatively on transcriptional programs responsible for the maintenance of MLL-rearranged AML.

miRNAs differentially expressed in MLL-AF9-transduced versus HOXA9/MEIS1-transduced LSK cells

Project description:HOXA9 and MEIS1 are essential downstream effectors of the MLL-AF9 oncoprotein during leukemia induction. Leukemia derived from MLL-AF9-transduced LSK cells has a more aggressive phenotype than that derived from HOXA9/MEIS1-transduced LSK cells. To determine differential miRNA expression that contributes to increased aggressiveness in MLL-AF9-induced leukemia, miRCURY LNA microRNA Array was performed on LSK cells transduced with MLL-AF9 versus HOXA/MEIS1 oncogenes.

Genes regulated by Meis1 in murine Mll-AF9 leukemia cells

Project description:Leukemias with MLL-rearrangements are characterized by high expression of the homeo box gene MEIS1. In these studies, we knocked down Meis1 expression by shRNA lentivirus transduction in murine Mll-AF9 leukemia cells. Meis1 knockdown resulted in decreased proliferation and survival of murine Mll-AF9 leukemia cells. We also observed reduced clonogenic capacity and increased monocytic differentiation. The establishment of leukemia in transplant recipients was significantly delayed by Meis1 knockdown. Gene expression profiling of cells transduced with Meis1 shRNA showed reduced expression of genes associated with cell cycle entry and progression. shRNA mediated knockdown of MEIS1 in human MLL-fusion gene leukemia cell lines resulted in reduced cell growth. These results show that MEIS1 expression is important for MLL-rearranged leukemias and suggest that MEIS1 promotes cell cycle entry. Targeting MEIS1 may have therapeutic potential for treating leukemias expressing this transcription factor. Keywords: Gene expression

Role of HRP2 in mixed lineage leukemia compared to its paralog LEDGF/p75

Project description:Mixed lineage leukemia-rearranged (MLLr) leukemia is a genetically distinct subtype of leukemia driven by a reciprocal chromosomal translocation or partial tandem duplications of internal coding regions of the MLL gene KMT2A. These rearrangements result in in-frame genes, translated to oncogenic fusion proteins deregulating the MLL target genes (e.g. HoxA family, Meis1, Cdk6), promoting leukemogenesis and tumor progression. To regulate gene expression, unstructured N-terminal motifs found in MLL form a ternary complex with menin and the integrase binding domain (IBD) of the p75 splice variant of Lens Epithelium Derived Growth Factor (LEDGF/p75). Formation of the ternary complex is crucial for MLL-r leukemogenesis. Hepatoma derived growth factor related protein 2 (HRP2) is the only human paralog of LEDGF/p75 with identical functional domains. We investigated its role in normal hematopoiesis and leukemia. We demonstrate that adult Hrp2 knockout mice can be distinguished from their wild type littermates by increased neutrophils in the hematopoietic system. Colony formation experiments and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis on lin- HSC hinted towards a stem-like state supported by HRP2. In context of leukemia, we observe a more general role for HRP2 in the survival of leukemic cells independently of MLL.
