RUNX1-ETO orchestrates dynamic enhancer promoter communication in t(8;21) Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (DNaseI-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is caused by mutations in transcriptional and epigenetic regulator genes impairing myeloid differentiation. The t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation generates the leukemogenic RUNX1-ETO fusion protein which interferes with the hematopoietic master regulator RUNX1. We previously showed that maintenance of t(8;21) AML is dependent on RUNX1-ETO as its depletion causes extensive changes in transcription factor binding and gene expression as well as myeloid differentiation. How changes in gene expression and binding events are connected within a transcriptional network is unclear. To this end, we assigned cis-regulatory elements to each other using promoter-capture chromosomal conformation assays in the presence and absence of RUNX1-ETO. From these data we constructed a RUNX1-ETO dependent dynamic transcriptional network maintaining AML. Integration of these data with gene expression and transcription factor binding data shows that RUNX1-ETO participates in interactions and that differential cis-element interactions are driven by alterations in the binding of RUNX1-ETO regulated transcription factors.

Project description:The t(8;21) translocation fuses the DNA binding domain of the hematopoietic master regulator RUNX1 to the ETO protein. The resultant RUNX1/ETO fusion protein is a leukemia-initiating transcription factor that interferes with RUNX1 function. The result of this interference is a block in differentiation and, finally, the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To obtain insights into RUNX1/ETO-dependant alterations of the epigenetic landscape we measured genome-wide RUNX1- and RUNX1/ETO bound regions in t(8;21) cells and assessed to what extent the effects of RUNX1/ETO on the epigenome depend on its continued expression in established leukemic cells. To this end we determined dynamic alterations of histone acetylation, RNA Polymerase II binding and RUNX1 occupancy in the presence or absence of RUNX1/ETO using a knockdown approach. Combined global assessments of chromatin accessibility and kinetic gene expression data show that RUNX1/ETO controls the expression of important regulators of hematopoietic differentiation and self-renewal. We show that selective removal of RUNX1/ETO leads to a widespread reversal of epigenetic reprogramming and a genome-wide re-distribution of RUNX1 binding, resulting in the inhibition of leukemic proliferation and self-renewal and the induction of differentiation. This demonstrates that RUNX1/ETO represents a pivotal therapeutic target in AML.
