Whole exome sequencing analysis of bone marrow c-Kit+ leukemia cells in Nras-G12D with Ezh2 KO (E2-KO) mice

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic gene regulation and metabolism are highly intertwined, yet little is known whether and how altered epigenetics influences cellular metabolism in cancer progression. Here we show that EZH2 and NRasG12D mutations cooperatively induce progression of myeloproliferative neoplasms to fully penetrant, transplantable and lethal myeloid leukemias in mouse. EZH1, an EZH2 homolog, is indispensable for EZH2-deficient leukemia-initiating cells (LICs) and constitutes an epigenetic vulnerability. BCAT1, the first enzyme catalyzing transamination of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), is repressed by EZH2 in normal hematopoiesis and aberrantly activated in EZH2-deficient myeloid neoplasms in mouse and human. Enhanced BCAT1 promotes BCAA production in LICs ex vivo and in vivo, resulting in activated mTOR signaling. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of BCAT1 selectively impairs EZH2-deficient LICs and constitutes a metabolic vulnerability. These findings establish an example how epigenetic alterations modify metabolic adaptation in myeloid transformation and provide a rationale for targeting the epigenetic and metabolic liabilities of cancer-initiating cells.

Genome-wide maps of H3K27me3 chromatin modification status regulated by branched chain amino acids (BCAA) metabolism in human acute leukemia

Project description:The branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism plays pleiotropic roles in homeostasis. Here we show that human acute leukemia-initiating cells (LICs), but not normal hematopoietic stem cells, are heavily addicted to the BCAA metabolism, irrespective of myeloid or lymphoid types. Human acute leukemia cells had a high level of BCAAs, transporting free BCAAs into the cytoplasm. Functional inhibition of BCAA transaminase-1 (BCAT1), a catalytic enzyme for BCAAs, induced apoptosis of human LICs, and suppressed reconstitution of human leukemia in xenograft models. Furthermore, deprivation of BCAAs from daily diet in mice transplanted with human LICs strongly inhibited their expansion and self-renewal in vivo. The BCAT1 inhibition inactivates the PRC2 function for epigenetic maintenance of stem cell signatures via downregulation of EZH2 and EED, critical PRC2 components, and inhibited the mTORC1 signaling for leukemia propagation. Thus, targeting the BCAA metabolism should be a powerful approach to erase cancer stemness in human acute leukemias.

High Density custom Agilent 44K CGH array analysis of 7q and TET2 region in myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms

Project description:Abnormalities of chromosome 7q are common in myeloid malignancies. Agilent CGH arrays targeted to 7q and Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays were used to characterise 7q aUPD and deletions. Sample #017 in this data series showed a microdeletion encompassing EZH2. Screening of a total of 614 cases with myeloid disorders revealed 49 monoallelic or biallelic EZH2 mutations in 42 individuals, most commonly myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (27/219; 12%) and myelofibrosis (4/30; 13%). EZH2 encodes the catalytic subunit of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), the highly conserved histone H3 lysine 27 methyltransferase that influences stem cell renewal by epigenetic repression of genes involved in cell fate decisions. EZH2 has oncogenic activity and its overexpression has been causally linked to differentiation blocks in epithelial tumors. Unexpectedly, the mutations we identified resulted in premature chain termination or direct abrogation of histone methyltransferase activity, suggesting that EZH2 acts as a tumor suppressor for myeloid malignancies.

Gene expression profiles of mouse BM LSKs, wild-type as well as Ezh2 KO mouse CML leukemia initiating cells (LICs)

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) management. Disease eradication, however, is hampered by innate resistance of leukemia initiating cells (LICs) to TKI-induced killing, which also provides the basis for subsequent emergence of TKI-resistant mutants. We report that EZH2, the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), is overexpressed in CML LICs, required for colony formation, and survival and cell cycle progression of CML cell lines. A critical role for Ezh2 is supported by genetic studies in a mouse CML model. Inactivation of Ezh2 in conventional conditional mice and through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing prevents initiation and maintenance of disease and survival of LICs, irrespective of BCR/ABL1 mutational status, and extends survival. Expression of the Ezh2 homolog Ezh1 is reduced in Ezh2-deficient CML LICs, creating a scenario resembling complete loss of PRC2. EZH2-dependence of CML LICs raises prospects for improved therapy of TKI-resistant CML and/or eradication of disease by addition of EZH2 inhibitors.

Affymetrix SNP 6.0 array data for myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms

Project description:Abnormalities of chromosome 7q are common in myeloid malignancies but no specific target genes have been identified. Here we describe the finding of homozygous EZH2 mutations in 9 of 12 cases with 7q acquired uniparental disomy. Screening of a total of 614 cases with myeloid disorders revealed 49 monoallelic or biallelic EZH2 mutations in 42 individuals, most commonly myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (27/219; 12%) and myelofibrosis (4/30; 13%).

Expression data from AMPK deficient MLL-AF9 leukemia initiating cells and whole leukemia cells

Project description:Deletion of AMPK significantly extended the onset of leukemogenesis and depleted leukemia initiating cells (LICs). To identify how AMPK regulates LICs, we performed gene expression profiling of LICs isolated from AMPK wild type leukemic mice or AMPK-deficient leukemic mice. 4 groups were analyzed; 1) Whole leukemia (GFP+) from AMPK WT ( AMPKfl/fl) mice, 2) Whole leukemia (GFP+) from AMPK-deficient ( AMPK?/?l) mice, 3) LICs=L-GMP (GFP+,lin-,c-kit+, CD16/32+,CD34+) cells from AMPK WT ( AMPKfl/fl) mice, 4) LICs=L-GMP (GFP+,lin-,c-kit+, CD16/32+,CD34+) cells from AMPK-deficient ( AMPK?/?l) mice.

Expression data from Tet2-hypomorph (knockdown) and/or Ezh2-null Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+ (LSK) cells and granulocyte-macrophage progenitors (GMPs)

Project description:PcG proteins form the polycomb repressive complexes (PRC) 1 and 2, functioning as transcriptional repressors through histone modifications. They have been implicated in the maintenance of self-renewing somatic and cancer stem cells. PcG genes have been characterized as tumor suppressor genes as exemplified by somatic inactivating mutations of EZH2, a gene encoding histone methyltransferase in PRC2, in myeloid malignancy. Mice deficient for Tet2 have been reported to recapitulate some aspects of myeloid malignancies. We evaluated the Ezh2-deficient mice and also tested the impact of concurrent depletion of Ezh2 and Tet2 on hematopoiesis. Purified LSK cells and GMPs from BM of recipient mice repopulated with wild-type, Tet2KD/KD, Ezh2-/- and Tet2KD/KDEzh2-/- fetal liver cells were subjected to RNA extraction and hybridization on Agilent microarrays.
