A gain-of-function p53 mutant oncogene promotes cell fate plasticity and myeloid leukemia through the pluripotency factor Foxh1


ABSTRACT: Mutations in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene are common in many cancer types, including the acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subtype known as complex karyotype (CK) AML. Here, we identify a gain-of-function (GOF) p53 mutation that accelerates CK-AML initiation beyond p53 loss and, surprisingly, is required for disease maintenance. The p53R172H mutation (TP53R175H in humans) exhibits a neomorphic function by promoting aberrant self-renewal in leukemic cells, a phenotype that is present in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) even prior to their transformation. We identify the Forkhead box H1 transcription factor (Foxh1) as a critical mediator of mutant p53 function that binds to and regulates stem cell-associated genes and transcriptional programs. Our results identify a context where mutant p53 acts as a bona fide oncogene that contributes to the pathogenesis of CK-AML and suggests a common biological theme for TP53 gain-of-function in cancer.
