Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing of THP-1 cells treated with AT or HA

ABSTRACT: Deregulation of transcription factor MYB contributes to the development of leukemia and other human cancers, making MYB an attractive target for drug development. We demonstrate that the natural sesquiterpene lactone (STL) 4,15-iso-atriplicolide tiglate (AT) is a novel potent inhibitor of MYB-dependent transcription. Further analysis revealed that C/EBPb, a transcription factor cooperating with MYB in myeloid cells, rather than MYB itself is inhibited by AT and related STLs. We show that these compounds induce apoptosis and differentiation in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines and that ectopic expression of C/EBPbor of an activated version of MYB counteract these effects. Furthermore, gene expression profiling shows that AT as well as helenalin acetate, a compound previously shown to inhibit C/EBPb, affect the expression of a significant number of MYB-regulated genes although neither of these compounds targets MYB directly. Taken together these results suggest that C/EBPbp lays a key role in AML cells by cooperating with MYB and supporting its activity. Finally, we show that AT inhibits primary murine and human AML patient cells in colony formation assays significantly stronger than normal hematopoietic progenitor cells. In summary, our work identifies several related STLs as novel potential drugs targeting AML and highlights a novel role of C/EBPbas a pro-leukemogenic factor in AML cells. We hypothesize that MYB and C/EBPbact together in a transcriptional module to maintain an undifferentiated state of AML cells and that targeting of this module via MYB or C/EBPbmay have therapeutic potential against AML.

Dependence on Myb expression is attenuated in myeloid leukemia with N-terminal CEBPA mutations

Project description:Mutations altering the normal function of C/EBPα are frequent in acute myeloid leukaemia with normal karyotype. MYB, a cooperating partner of C/EBPα, is likewise heavily implicated in AML. Here we investigate how the relative requirement for the transcription factor MYB in AML relates to the particular combinations of wild type and mutated alleles of CEBPA. Through knockdown of Myb in murine cell lines modelling the spectrum of CEBPA mutations we show that the consequences of reduced Myb depend on the mutational status of Cebpa. Importantly, Myb knockdown fails to override the block in myeloid differentiation in cells with biallelic N-terminal C/EBPα mutations, demonstrating for the first time that the dependency on Myb observed in AML is much lower in leukaemia with this combination of mutations. By comparing genome-wide analyses of gene expression following Myb knockdown and ChIP-seq data for the binding of C/EBPα isoforms, we provide evidence for a functional cooperation between C/EBPα and Myb in the maintenance of the leukaemia state. This co-dependency breaks down when both alleles of CEBPA harbour N-terminal mutations, as a subset of C/EBPα-regulated genes only bind the short p30 C/EBPα isoform and, unlike other C/EBPα regulated genes, do so without a requirement for Myb.

Definition of aberrant MYB CBP/P300 complex in AML

Project description:Dysregulated gene expression is one of the most prevalent features in human cancers. Here, we show that most subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depend on the aberrant assembly of the MYB transcriptional co-activator complex. By rapid and selective peptidomimetic interference with the binding of CBP/P300 to MYB, but not CREB or MLL1, we find that the leukemic functions of MYB are mediated by CBP/P300-mediated co-activation of a distinct set of transcriptional factor complexes that are aberrantly assembled with MYB in AML cells. This therapeutic remodeling is accompanied by dynamic redistribution of CBP/P300 complexes to genes that control cellular differentiation and growth. Thus, aberrantly organized transcription factor complexes control convergent gene expression programs in AML cells. These findings establish a compelling strategy for pharmacologic reprogramming of oncogenic gene expression that supports its targeting for leukemias and other human cancers caused by dysregulated gene control.

Ablation of MYB-dependent leukaemia phenotype in MLL-driven AML correlates with increased expression of MAFB

Project description:The transcription factor MYB plays a pivotal role in haematopoietic homeostasis and its aberrant expression is involved in the genesis and maintenance of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Our previous work on CEBPA mutants has demonstrated that not all AML types display the same dependency on MYB expression, rather this depends on the nature of the driving mutations. However, whether this difference in MYB expression dependency is a general trend in AML still remains to be further elucidated. In this study, we investigate the importance of MYB in human leukaemia by performing siRNA-mediated knock-down in cell lines modelling AML driven by different genetic lesions. We show that the reduction in proliferation and the concomitant induction of myeloid commitment observed in MLL-driven leukaemia upon suppression of MYB expression is not seen in AML cells with a complex karyotype. By performing transcriptome analysis, we demonstrate that reduction of MYB in the cell line that responds to its manipulation leads to a strong activation of MAFB expression. Correlating with these observations, stratification of publicly available patient data reveals a reciprocal relationship between the expression of MYB and MAFB, highlighting a novel connection between those two factors in such AML.

Expression data from murine acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells following shRNA-mediated suppression of Myb

Project description:Using an integrative approach combining a Tet-off conditional AML mouse model, global expression profiling following suppression of the driving MLL-AF9 oncogene, and a new Tet-on conditional shRNA expression system we have identified Myb as critical mediator of addiction to MLL-AF9. Suppression of Myb in established AML in vivo terminates aberrant self-renewal and triggers a terminal myeloid differentiation program that precisely phenocopies the effects of suppressing MLL-AF9. Remarkably, suppressing Myb effectively eradicates aggressive and chemotherapy resistant AML. To further investigate Myb dependent transcriptional programs involved in mediating aberrant self-renewal in leukemia, we globally surveyed gene expression changes following acute shRNA-induced suppression of Myb in an established Tet-on competent model of MLL-AF9;NrasG12D-induced AML. To enable regulatable suppression of Myb in AML, we retrovirally transduced established Tet-on competent MLL-AF9;NrasG12D induced AML cells with TRMPV-Neo vectors (Zuber et al., Nature Biotech, 2010) harboring shRNAs targeting Myb (shMyb.2572 and shMyb.2652), a control shRNA targeting Renilla Luciferase (shRen.713), or an empty miR30 cassette of the recipient cloning vector (Rec). Following drug selection, shRNA expression was induced by doxycycline treatment and total RNA was isolated from sorted shRNA expressing (Venus+/dsRed+) leukemia cells after 3 days of dox treatment, and subjected to Affymetrix microarray expression analysis. Expression profiles following expression of two independent Myb shRNAs were compared to those observed after induction in shRen.713- and Rec-expressing control samples (each in 3 biological replicates).

A novel tubulin binding molecule drives differentiation of acute myeloid leukaemia cells

Project description:Here we perform a phenotypic screen and identified novel compounds that can promote differentiation in several AML cell lines. Lead compounds are able to decrease tumour burden and increase survival in vivo. Using multiple complementary target deconvolution approaches (including chemoproteomics), these compounds were revealed to be anti-mitotic tubulin disruptors that cause differentiation by inducing a G2-M mitotic arrest. Together, these results reveal a novel function for tubulin disruptors in causing differentiation of AML cells.

Influence of C/EBPβ 3'UTR on RasV12 induced gene expression

Project description:C/EBPb is an auto-repressed protein that becomes posttranslationally activated by Ras-MEK-ERK signalling. C/EBPb is required for oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) of primary fibroblasts, but also displays pro-oncogenic functions in many tumour cells. Here, we show that C/EBPb activation by H-RasV12 is suppressed in immortalized/transformed cells, but not in primary cells, by its 30 untranslated region (30UTR). 30UTR sequences inhibited Ras-induced cytostatic activity of C/EBPb, DNA binding, transactivation, phosphorylation, and homodimerization, without significantly affecting protein expression. The 30UTR suppressed induction of senescence-associated C/EBPb target genes, while promoting expression of genes linked to cancers and TGFb signalling. An AU-rich element (ARE) and its cognate RNA-binding protein, HuR, were required for 30UTR inhibition. These components also excluded the Cebpb mRNA from a perinuclear cytoplasmic region that contains activated ERK1/2, indicating that the site of C/EBPb translation controls de-repression by Ras signalling. Notably, 30UTR inhibition and Cebpb mRNA compartmentalization were absent in primary fibroblasts, allowing Ras-induced C/EBPb activation and OIS to proceed. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism whereby non-coding mRNA sequences selectively regulate C/EBPb activity and suppress its anti-oncogenic functions. NIH-3T3 cells were retrovirally infected and selected with appropriate antiobiotics. Equal number of cells were plated and collected 48-72 hours later.

TMT analysis of MOLM-13 cells treated with series 3 CK1a degraders

Project description:Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) encompasses two approaches that generate small molecules with similar proteasome-dependent mechanisms of action: Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and Molecular Glues (MGs). Our goal is to develop novel MG approaches that exploit the E3 ubiquitin ligase Cereblon (CRBN) to degrade key oncogenic drivers in the leading causes of childhood cancer death: acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This project will identify new vulnerabilities and compounds that degrade hitherto undruggable transcription factors in high-risk acute leukemia (AL) and medulloblastoma (MB). Based on our preliminary data, we hypothesize that these compounds target AML cells via CK1a degradation. Our aims are to understand the mechanism by which compounds SJ001041330, SJ001043149, and SJ001043301 target AML cells using TMT proteomic approach and confirm CK1a degradation by these compounds leading to AML cell death.

A novel tubulin binding molecule drives differentiation of acute myeloid leukaemia cells

Project description:Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) continues to have a poor prognosis, especially in the elderly. One reason for this is that many treatment regimens are not well tolerated by elderly patients. Much current focus is on the development of therapies that can target specific vulnerabilities of AML while having fewer toxic side effects. However, despite much recent progress in developing better drugs, many patients with AML still die within a year of diagnosis, partly due to the fact that it is difficult to identify therapeutic targets that are effective across multiple AML subtypes. One common factor across AML subtypes is the presence of a block in differentiation. Thus screening for compounds that can overcome this block in genetically diverse AML models should allow for the identification of agents that are not dependent on a specific mutation for their efficacy. Here, we used a phenotypic screen to identify novel compounds that stimulate differentiation in several AML cell lines. Lead compounds were shown to decrease tumour burden and to increase survival in vivo. Using multiple complementary target deconvolution approaches, these compounds were revealed to be anti-mitotic tubulin disruptors that cause differentiation by inducing a G2-M mitotic arrest. Together, these results reveal a novel function for tubulin disruptors in causing differentiation of AML cells.
