TIFAB modulates metabolic pathways in KMT2A::MLLT3-induced AML through HNF4A.

Abstract

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-interacting protein with forkhead-associated domain B (TIFAB), an inhibitor of NF-κB signaling, plays critical roles in hematopoiesis, myelodysplastic neoplasms, and leukemia. We previously demonstrated that Tifab enhances KMT2A::MLLT3-driven acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by either upregulating Hoxa9 or through ubiquitin-specific peptidase 15-mediated downregulation of p53 signaling. In this study, we show that Tifab deletion in KMT2A::MLLT3-induced AML impairs leukemia stem/progenitor cell (LSPC) engraftment, glucose uptake, and mitochondrial function. Gene set enrichment analysis reveals that Tifab deletion downregulates MYC, HOXA9/MEIS1, mTORC1 signaling, and genes involved in glycolysis and oxidative phosphor
