Project description:To investigate the effect of CEBPA and its mutant isoform P30 on the expression of mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), we utilized the K562 AML cell line carrying a stable and Tet-on inducible CEBPA or P30 allele. Based on the expression of known CEBPA transcriptional targets, we selected RNA extracted from 48 hours of induction (CEBPA or P30) together with RNA extracted from control-induced cells (CTR). 2 biological replicates for each sample have been utilized.

Project description:Myeloid cells of the granulocytic-monocytic (GM) lineage develop in a process orchestrated mainly by the transcription factors PU.1 and CEBPA, but how these factors collaborate on a global scale during GM-lineage differentiation remains uncharacterized. To address this question we have combined epigenetic profiling, transcription factor binding and gene expression analyses of successive stages of murine GM-lineage differentiation and show that PU.1 and CEBPA binds to GM enhancers with distinct kinetics. Surprisingly, we find no evidence of a pioneering function of PU.1 during GM-lineage differentiation but instead delineate a set of GM enhancers that appears to open in a CEBPA-dependent manner. Analyses of Cebpa null bone marrow demonstrate that CEBPA controls PU.1 levels and, unexpectedly, that the loss of CEBPA results in a very early differentiation block. These data are consistent with a model involving an extensive functional interplay between PU.1 and CEBPA in driving GM-lineage differentiation.

Project description:C/EBPalpha is a transcription factor critically involved in myeloid development and indispensable for formation of granulocytes. To track the cellular fate of stem and progenitor (LSK) cells, which express C/EBPalpha, we developed a mouse model expressing Cre recombinase from the Cebpa promoter and an inducible EYFP allele. We show that Cebpa/EYFP+ cells represent a significant subset of LSK cells, which predominantly give rise to myeloid cells in steady state hematopoiesis. C/EBPalpha induced a robust myeloid gene expression signature and downregulated E2A-induced regulators of early lymphoid development. In addition, Cebpa/EYFP+ cells comprise a fraction of early thymic progenitors (ETP) with robust myeloid potential. However, Cebpa/EYFP+ LSK and ETP cells retained the ability to develop into erythroid and T-lymphoid lineages, respectively. These findings support an instructive, but argue against a lineage restrictive role of C/EBPalpha in multipotent hematopoietic and thymic progenitors. We performed global gene expression profiling of double-sorted Cebpa/EYFP+ and Cebpa/EYFP- LSK cells of pooled Cebpa Cre/wt R26 EYFP reporter mice to identify differentially regulated genes in Cebpa+ versus Cebpa- LSK cells. RNA was isolated from three biological replicates of Cebpa/EYFP+ LSK cells and two biological replicates of Cebpa/EYFP- LSK cells. To determine if the identified genes were truly dependent on Cebpa expression, we also performed global gene expression profilling of Cebpa/EYFP+ and Cebpa/EYFP- fetal liver LSK cells of Cebpa Cre/fl R26 EYFP mice. Induction of Cebpa/Cre expression in these mice leads to Cre-mediated recombination of the floxed wt Cebpa allele resulting in a complete Cebpa knock-out. In this case, RNA was isolated from two biological replicates of either Cebpa/EYFP+ and Cebpa/EYFP- LSK cells. In addition, we included one biological replicate of Cebpa/EYFP+ and Cebpa/EYFP- fetal liver LSK cells of Cebpa Cre/wt R26 EYFP mice to determine the correlation of differentially regulated genes in bone marrow and fetal liver LSK cells.

Project description:The key myeloid transcription factor (TF) CEBPA is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the molecular ramifications of this leukemic driver mutation remain elusive. To investigate CEBPA mutant AML, we compared gene expression changes in human CEBPA mutant AML and in the corresponding CebpaLp30 mouse model, and identified a conserved cross-species transcriptional program. ChIP-seq revealed aberrantly activated enhancers, exclusively occupied by the leukemia-associated CEBPA-p30 isoform. One leukemic-enhancer upstream of Nt5e, encoding CD73, was physically and functionally linked to this conserved AML gene, and could be activated by CEBPA. Targeting of CD73-adenosine signaling increased AML survival in transplanted mice. Our data indicate a first-in-class link between a TF cancer driver mutation and a druggable, direct transcriptional target.

Project description:Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease from the molecular and biological standpoints, and even patients with a specific gene expression profile may present clinical and molecular heterogeneity. We studied the epigenetic profiles of a cohort of patients that shared a common gene expression profile but differed in that only half of them harbored mutations of the CEBPA locus, while the rest presented with silencing of this gene and co-expression of certain T cell markers. DNA methylation studies revealed that these two groups of patients could be readily segregated in an unsupervised fashion based on their DNA methylation profiles alone. Furthermore, CEBPA silencing was associated with the presence of an aberrant DNA hypermethylation signature, which was not present in the CEBPA mutant group. This aberrant hypermethylation occurred more frequently at sites within CpG islands. CEBPA silenced leukemias also displayed marked hypermethylation when compared with normal CD34+ hematopoietic cells, while CEBPA mutant cases showed only mild changes in DNA methylation when compared to these normal progenitors. Biologically, CEBPA silenced leukemias presented with a decreased response to myeloid growth factors in vitro. Keywords: DNA methylation profiling Direct comparison of DNA methylation in leukemic blasts from 8 patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) carrying a CEBPA mutation and 8 patients with AML without CEBPA mutation but with silencing of CEBPA expression. Two control groups are included: 8 CD34+ bone marrow samples from healthy donors and 9 samples of T Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) patients.

Project description:Weaker CEBPA binding in the human than in the mouse genome is a general trait of the human genome across multiple biological conditions. Alu repeats carry strong CEBPA binding motifs, which compete with regulatory regions for CEBPA binding. To directly test this hypothesis, we attempted to overcome Alu competition by using, first, a CRISPR-dCas9 system in BLaER1 cells (Rapino et al. 2013). By promoting the recruitment of the inactive Cas9 to Alu regions with specific gRNAs targeting Alu repeats containing strong CEBPA motifs we protected them, hampering CEBPA binding to these regions. We tested the effect of two different paired gRNA constructs in two replicates and one control paired gRNA in two replicates. Second, we also further overexpressed CEBPA in human BLaER1 cells to overcome Alu competition. We tested two doses of CEBPA overexpression in two replicates and one control experiment in two replicates.

Project description:A previously predictive CEBPA double mutant (CEBPAdm) signature was hampered by the recently reported CEBPA silenced AML cases that carry a similar gene expression profile (GEP). Two independent AML cohorts were used to train and evaluate the predictive value of the CEBPAdm signature in terms of sensitivity and specificity. A predictive signature was created, containing 25-probe sets by using a logistic regression model with Lasso regularization, which selects discriminative probe sets between the classes, CEBPAdm and all other AML cases, CEBPA wild type (CEBPAwt) and CEBPA single mutant (CEBPAsm). Subsequently, a classifier was trained on the entire HOVON-SAKK cohort based on a two-class approach; CEBPAdm versus all other cases (CEBPAwt and CEBPAsm). This trained classifier subsequently classified 16 candidate CEBPAdm cases in the AMLSG-cohort out of 154 AML cases. This approach showed perfect sensitivity and specificity (both 100%). In addition, we have performed a classification between CEBPAdm ,CEBPAsm, and CEBPAwt to infer if we were able to accurately classify CEBPAsm cases. We observed that all CEBPAsm cases were classified as CEBPAwt, thus CEBPAsm cases do not have a consistent gene expression pattern and are different from the CEBPAdm group. All samples were obtained from untreated patients at the time of diagnosis. Cells used for microarray analysis were collected from the purified fraction of mononuclear cells after Ficoll density centrifugation. Routine diagnostic algorithms, including the characterization of molecular markers are performed.
