Direct Phosphorylation and Stabilization of MYC by Aurora B Kinase Promote T Cell Leukemogenesis

ABSTRACT: The significance of MYC deregulation has been well-documented in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). MYC acts as an oncogenic driver in T-ALL and particularly in maintaining leukemia-initiating cell activity. Protein interactome analysis identified Aurora B kinase (AURKB) as a specific MYC binding partner and depletion of AURKB reduced the steady-state levels of MYC. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that AURKB directly phosphorylated MYC and promoted MYC protein stability, and conversely AURKB deficiency elicited rapid MYC degradation. We thus predicted that abrogation of AURKB would affect global MYC transcriptional program. To assess the transcriptional change in response to AURKB knockdown, RNA-Seq was performed using AURKB or control-depleted CUTLL1 cells.

The Aurora B kinase and the polycomb protein Ring1B combine to regulate active promoters in quiescent lymphocytes [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Genome-wide distribution of proteins and histone marks in CD43 negative mouse resting B cells ChIP-seq analyses of Aurora B, Ring1B, Bcx7, USP16, H3K27me3, and Ezh2 were carried out on wild-typeCD43 negative resting B cells. ChIP-seq datasets obtained from Aurora B knockout and RingiB knockout cells were used as negative controls to validate the signals for Aurora B and Ring1B from wild-type cells. 8WG16 ChIP-seq datasets were generated from WT (Cre-ERt2 homozygous) and Ring1B KO (Cre-ERt2/Rnf2 flox homozygous). RNAP-S5ph ChIP-seq datasets were generated from WT (Cre-ERt2 homozygous) and Aurkb KO (Cre-ERt2/Aurkb flox homozygous). ChIP-seq analyses of H3S28 phosphorylation (H3S28ph) and H2AK119 monoubiquitination (H2Aub1) in wild-type (Cre-ERt2 homozygous) and Aurora B KO (Cre-ERt2/Aurkb flox homozygous) CD43 negative resting B cells treated with 250nM tamoxifen (4-hydroxytamoxifen) for 48 hours. ChIP-seq analyses of the levels of unphosphorylated RNA Pol II (8WG16) and serine 5-phosphorylated RNA Pol II (RNAP-S5ph) were conducted in Aurkb KO (Cre-ERt2/Aurkb flox homozygous) and Ring1B KO (Cre-ERt2/Rnf2 flox homozygous) CD43 negative resting B cells treated with 250nM tamoxifen (4-hydroxytamoxifen) for 48 hours respectively). All libraries were prepared from sonicated, formaldehyde-crossilinked chromatin. For H2Aub1, ChIP was performed using micrococcal nuclease-digested, unfixed chromatin, instead.

Aurora kinase B-dependent phosphorylation regulates caspase-2 activity and function

Project description:Mitotic catastrophe (MC) is an important mechanism to remove cells that become polyploid or aneuploid, as an oncosuppressive mechanism. Previous studies have demonstrated that the activation and catalytic function of caspase-2 is a key step in MC, to trigger apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest of such defective cells. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate caspase-2 activation and its function are unclear. Here we show that Aurora kinase B (AURKB), a key mitotic kinase, phosphorylates caspase-2 at a highly conserved residue S384 and inhibits its catalytic activity and function. We identified six new phosphorylation sites in caspase-2 and further demonstrated that phosphorylation at S384 blocks caspase-2 catalytic activity and apoptosis function in response to mitotic insults, without affecting caspase-2 dimerisation. Moreover, molecular modelling suggests that phosphorylation at S384 may affect substrate binding by caspase-2. We propose that caspase-2 S384 phosphorylation by AURKB is a key mechanism that controls caspase-2 activation during mitosis.

Gene expression changes in medulloblastoma due to Myc overexpression and Mitotic inhibition with AZD1152 Aurora Kinase B Inhibitior

Project description:Sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma cells with stable overexpression of Myc (UW426-Myc) become sensitized to apoptosis induction when exposed to Aurora kinase B inhibitor AZD1152. We sought to determine the gene expression changes that take place when Myc is overexpressed in UW426 and to determine the genes differentially expressed in UW426-Myc cells compared to wild-type UW426 when exposed tothe drug AZD1152 that specifically inhibits Aurora kinase B activity.

Association with Aurora-A controls N-MYC-dependent promoter escape and pause release of RNA polymerase II during the cell cycle

Project description:MYC proteins bind globally to active promoters and promote transcriptional elongation by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). To identify effector proteins that mediate this function, we performed mass spectrometry on N-MYC complexes in neuroblastoma cells. The analysis shows that N-MYC forms complexes with TFIIIC, TOP2A and RAD21, a subunit of cohesin. N-MYC and TFIIIC bind to overlapping sites in thousands of RNAPII promoters and intergenic regions. TFIIIC promotes association of RAD21 with N-MYC target sites and is required for N-MYC-dependent promoter escape and pause release of RNAPII. Aurora-A competes with binding of TFIIIC and RAD21 to N-MYC in vitro and antagonizes association of TOP2A, TFIIIC and RAD21 with N-MYC during S-phase, blocking N-MYC-dependent release of RNAPII from the promoter. Inhibition of Aurora-A in S-phase restores RAD21 and TFIIIC binding to chromatin and partially restores N-MYC-dependent transcriptional elongation. We propose that complex formation with Aurora-A controls N-MYC function during the cell cycle.

RUNX1 isoforms in leukemogenesis

Project description:Aneuploidy and structural aberrations affecting chromosome 21 (Hsa21) are the most frequent in cytogentic events in acute myeloid leukemia. However, it remains unclear why leukemic blasts select for amplifications of Hsa21 or parts of it and why children with Down syndrome (i.e. trisomy 21) are at a high risk of developing leukemia. Here, we propose that disequilibrium of the RUNX1 isoforms and resultant RUNX1A dominance are key to trisomy 21-associated leukemogenesis. Using a Hsa21-focussed CRISPR-Cas9 screen, we uncovered a strong and specific RUNX1 dependency in myeloid leukemia associated with Down syndrome (ML-DS). High levels of RUNX1A – as seen in ML-DS – synergized with the pathognomonic Gata1s mutation in ML-DS pathogenesis, an effect that was reversed upon restoration of the normal RUNX1A:RUNX1C equilibrium. Mechanistically, RUNX1A displaces RUNX1C from its endogenous binding sites and recruits the MYC cofactor MAX to induce oncogenic programs and perturb normal differentiation. This presents a therapeutic vulnerability that can be exploited by interfering with MYC:MAX dimerization. Our study highlights the importance of alternative splicing in leukemogenesis, and paves the way for developing specific and targeted therapies for ML-DS as well as for other leukemias with Hsa21 aneuploidy or RUNX1 isoform disequilibrium.

Alteration in the transcriptome of lung resident fibroblast isolated from fibrotic lungs of TGFalpha mice upon genetic knockdown of Aurora Kinase B

Project description:Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is associated with many chronic lung diseases including Systemic sclerosis (SSc), Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Cystic Fibrosis (CF) which are characterized by the progressive accumulation of mesenchymal cells and formation of scar tissue. Pulmonary fibrosis is a dysregulated response to alveolar injury which causes a progressive decline in lung function and refractory to current pharmacological therapies. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells contribute to pulmonary fibrosis but the cell-specific pathways and gene networks that are responsible for the pathophysiology are unknown. Our new findings have identified the abberent activation of Aurora Kinase B (AURKB) in lung resident fibroblast and myofibroblast in IPF lung biopsies and the mouse model of transforming growth factor-α (TGFα) and bleomycin induced fibrosis. In this study, we sought to determine the role of AURKB in transcriptome changes in lung resident fibroblast during pulmonary fibrosis. Our results showed that AURKB regulates the transcriptional changes that are required for the fibroblast activation processes such fibroproliferation, myofibroblast survival and extracellular matrix deposition during pulmonary fibrosis. Finally, this study demonstrates that AURKB is a critcal regulator of fibroblast activation in IPF and hence serve as a target for therapeutic intervention.

Selective Targeting of the Proliferating Compartment in Chronic Lymhocytic Leukemia by Inhibition or Downregulation of Aurora Kinases

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) B-cells receive signals from the lymph node and bone marrow (BM) microenvironments that regulate their survival and proliferation. These signals and the pathways that propagate them to the interior of the cell represent potential targets for therapeutic intervention. To characterize the pathways that are activated by the BM microenvironment in CLL cells in vivo, we performed gene expression profiling of tumor cells purified from BM and peripheral blood. Functional classification analysis revealed that the most frequently upregulated genes in BM-CLL cells are genes involved in cell cycle and mitosis. Among the most significantly overexpressed were the Aurora A and B kinases. To investigate whether these kinases could represent potential therapeutic targets in CLL, we performed RNA interference experiments in the CLL cell lines MEC1 and EHEB. Downregulation of Aurora A and B inhibited the proliferation and induced apoptosis in these cells. Similar effects were observed with the pan-Aurora kinase inhibitor VX-680 in primary CLL cells induced to proliferate by CpG-ODN and IL-2. VX-680 also inhibited leukemia growth in vivo in a mouse model of CLL. These data suggest that inhibition of Aurora kinases could represent a potential strategy to selectively target the proliferating compartment in CLL. To identify gene expression related to microenvironmental stimuli in B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) cells in vivo, expression profiles of CLL cells purified (>95%) from bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) were compared. Paired BM and PB samples from 6 individuals were used for this analysis.
