Fusion oncoproteins and cooperating mutations define disease phenotypes in NUP98-rearranged leukemia.

Abstract

Leukemias with NUP98 rearrangements exhibit heterogeneous phenotypes such as acute myeloid leukemia, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome/neoplasms associated with fusion partners, whereas the mechanism responsible for this heterogeneity is poorly understood. Through genome-wide mutational and transcriptional analyses of 177 NUP98-rearranged leukemias, we show that cooperating alterations are associated with differentiation status even among leukemias sharing the same NUP98 fusions, such as NUP98::KDM5A acute megakaryocytic leukemia with RB1 loss or T-ALL with NOTCH1 mutations. CUT&RUN profiling of in vitro cord blood CD34+ cell (cbCD34) models of major NUP98 fusions revealed that NUP98-fusion oncoproteins (FOs) directly regulate differe
