Collaborative effect of Csnk1a1 haploinsufficiency and mutant p53 in Myc induction can promote leukemic transformation.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

It is still not fully understood how genetic haploinsufficiency in del(5q) myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) contributes to malignant transformation of hematopoietic stem cells. We asked how compound haploinsufficiency for Csnk1a1 and Egr1 in the common deleted region on chromosome 5 affects hematopoietic stem cells. Additionally, Trp53 was disrupted as the most frequently comutated gene in del(5q) MDS using CRISPR/Cas9 editing in hematopoietic progenitors of wild-type (WT), Csnk1a1-/+, Egr1-/+, Csnk1a1/Egr1-/+ mice. A transplantable acute leukemia only developed in the Csnk1a1-/+Trp53-edited recipient. Isolated blasts were indefinitely cultured ex vivo and gave rise to leukemia after transplantation, providing a tool to study disease mechanisms or perform drug screenings. In
