Genes regulated by Meis1 in murine Mll-AF9 leukemia cells

ABSTRACT: Leukemias with MLL-rearrangements are characterized by high expression of the homeo box gene MEIS1. In these studies, we knocked down Meis1 expression by shRNA lentivirus transduction in murine Mll-AF9 leukemia cells. Meis1 knockdown resulted in decreased proliferation and survival of murine Mll-AF9 leukemia cells. We also observed reduced clonogenic capacity and increased monocytic differentiation. The establishment of leukemia in transplant recipients was significantly delayed by Meis1 knockdown. Gene expression profiling of cells transduced with Meis1 shRNA showed reduced expression of genes associated with cell cycle entry and progression. shRNA mediated knockdown of MEIS1 in human MLL-fusion gene leukemia cell lines resulted in reduced cell growth. These results show that MEIS1 expression is important for MLL-rearranged leukemias and suggest that MEIS1 promotes cell cycle entry. Targeting MEIS1 may have therapeutic potential for treating leukemias expressing this transcription factor. Keywords: Gene expression

miRNAs differentially expressed in MLL-AF9-transduced versus HOXA9/MEIS1-transduced LSK cells

Project description:HOXA9 and MEIS1 are essential downstream effectors of the MLL-AF9 oncoprotein during leukemia induction. Leukemia derived from MLL-AF9-transduced LSK cells has a more aggressive phenotype than that derived from HOXA9/MEIS1-transduced LSK cells. To determine differential miRNA expression that contributes to increased aggressiveness in MLL-AF9-induced leukemia, miRCURY LNA microRNA Array was performed on LSK cells transduced with MLL-AF9 versus HOXA/MEIS1 oncogenes.

MEIS1-HLF axis regulates oxidative metabolism and is essential for MLL-fusion gene leukemia

Project description:The pathogenesis of MLL-fusion gene leukemias has been linked to upregulated expression of HOX genes and of the HOX-cofactor Meis1.The functions of the HOX/MEIS1 complex in leukemia however remain unclear. Here, we used inducible MEIS1-knockout mice coupled with MLL-AF9 knockin mice to decipher the role of MEIS1 in leukemia. We found that MEIS1 was critically required for established leukemia. Further, MEIS1 loss led to increased oxygen flux and apoptosis, while hypoxia reversed these effects. Finally, we identify HLF as a downstream mediator of MEIS1 in leukemia. Overexpression of HLF prevents oxygen flux and rescues the leukemia phenotype in MEIS1-deficient cells. Thus, the oncogenic effects of MEIS1 are at least partly mediated by an HLF-driven hypoxic state.

The histone H2B ubiquitin ligase RNF20 is required for MLL-rearranged leukemia

Project description:MLL-fusions are potent oncogenes that initiate aggressive forms of acute leukemia. As aberrant transcriptional regulators, MLL-fusion proteins alter gene expression in hematopoietic cells through interactions with the histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase DOT1L. Notably, interference with MLL-fusion cofactors like DOT1L is an emerging therapeutic strategy in this disease. Here we identify the histone H2B E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF20 as an additional requirement for MLL-fusion-mediated leukemogenesis. Suppressing the expression of Rnf20 in diverse models of MLL-rearranged leukemia leads to inhibition of cell proliferation; under tissue culture conditions as well as in vivo. Rnf20 knockdown leads to reduced expression of MLL-fusion target genes, including Hoxa9 and Meis1; effects that resemble Dot1l-inhibition. Using ChIP-seq, we found that H2B ubiquitination (H2Bub) is enriched in the body of MLL-fusion target genes, correlating with sites of H3K79 methylation and transcription elongation. Furthermore, we found that Rnf20 is required to maintain local levels of H3K79 di-methylation by Dot1l at Hoxa9 and Meis1. These findings support a model whereby co-transcriptional recruitment of Rnf20 at MLL-fusion target genes leads to amplification of Dot1l-mediated H3K79 methylation, thereby rendering leukemia cells dependent on Rnf20 to maintain their oncogenic transcriptional program.

Expression data of MLL-AF9-transformed murine leukemia progenitor cells, following treatment with UNC1999, a dual Ezh1 and Ezh2 inhibitor, or knockdown of EED

Project description:Ezh2 and EZH1 are histone H3 lysine 27 specific methyltransferase. Their hyperactive mutations and overexpression were found in cancer including various hematological malignancies. UNC1999 is a highly selective inhibitor for both enzymes. It suppresses H3K27 tri- and di-methylation globally and inhibits growth of MLL-rearranged acute leukemia cell lines. UNC2400, a di-methylated derivative of UNC1999, is employed an inactive analog compound for assessment of off-target effects. EED knockdown was used to demonstrate gene targets of PRC2. Here we performed microarray analysis in MLL-AF9 transformed acute leukemia cells following treatment with DMSO, UNC2400 or UNC1999, or after induction of EED shRNA (Renilla shRNA as control). This study allows us to identify UNC1999-responsive gene signatures as well as their overlap with PRC2 targets in MLL-AF9-bearing leukemia cells. We analyzed 5 of DMSO-treated, 5 of UNC2400 (inactive analog of UN1999)-treated, and 6 of UNC1999-treated MLL-AF9 leukemia cell samples to identify UNC1999-responsive gene signatures. We also performed microarray in 3 of shRNA control lines (Renilla or Ren) and 3 of shEED lines to identify downstream targets of PRC2 complex in MLL-AF9 leukemia cells.

Assesment of gene expression upon AF10 deletion in MLL-AF9 secondary leukemia

Project description:Aberrant Hox gene activation is a recurrent feature in several different types of human leukemia, including leukemias with rearrangements of the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene. In this study, we demonstrate that Hox gene expression is controlled by higher degree H3K79 methylation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We show that the deposition of progressive H3K79 methylation states at the genomic loci of critical Hox genes is dependent on the interaction of the H3K79 methyltransferase Dot1l with Af10, a protein that is found in the Dot1l complex isolated from diverse cell types. Furthermore, abrogation of the Dot1l-Af10 interaction reverses aberrant epigenetic profiles found in the leukemia epigenome and impairs the transforming ability of mechanistically distinct AML oncogenes. Primary MLL-AF9 leukemias in the AF10 floxed background (homozygous) were transduced with MSCV-IRES-tdTomato (MIT) or the Cre recombinase expressing MIT vector, cells were sorted and injected into secondary recipient mice to generate Af10 floxed (MIT) or deleted (CRE) leukemias. BM cells fresly harvested from these leukemias were sorted for tdTomato expression and used for microarrays. BM cells from Hoxa9-Meis1 transduced primary leukemias were used for comparison.

PBX3 cooperates with MEISI in causing rapid acute myeloid leukemia and recapitulates the core transcriptome of MLL-rearranged leukemia

Project description:To investigate whether co-expression of PBX3/MEIS1 can mimic that of MLL-AF9, HOXA9/MEIS1 or HOXA9/PBX3 in inducing leukemogenesis, we conducted in vivo mouse bone marrow transplantation (BMT) assays. Briefly, normal mouse bone marrow (BM) progenitor (i.e., lineage negative; Lin-) cells collected from B6.SJL (CD45.1) donor mice (CD45.1) were retrovirally co-transduced with MSCVneo-MLL-AF9+MSCV-PIG (MLL-AF9), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG (HOXA9), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG-MEIS1 (HOXA9+MEIS1), MSCVneo-HOXA9+MSCV-PIG-PBX3 (HOXA9+PBX3), MSCV-PIG-PBX3+MSCVneo-MEIS1 (PBX3+MEIS1), MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG-PBX3 (PBX3) , MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG-MEIS1 (MEIS1), or MSCVneo+MSCV-PIG (normal control; NC). Retrovirally transduced cells then were cultured with cytokines as well as puromycin and G418. Seven days later, the donor cells were transplanted into lethally irradiated (960 rads) 8- to 10-week-old C57BL/6 (CD45.2) recipient mice. The transplanted mice were watched for leukemogenesis. Then, gene expression profiling was conducted with bone marrow samples collected from leukemia groups and control group.

HOXA9 is required for survival in human MLL rearranged acute leukemias

Project description:Leukemias that harbor translocations involving the mixed lineage leukemia gene (MLL) possess unique biological characteristics and often have an unfavorable prognosis. Gene expression analyses demonstrate a distinct profile for MLL-rearranged leukemias with consistent high-level expression of select Homeobox genes including HOXA9. Here, we investigated the effects of HOXA9 suppression in MLL-rearranged and MLL-germline leukemias utilizing RNAi. Gene expression profiling after HOXA9 suppression demonstrated co-downregulation of a program highly expressed in human MLL-AML (this study) and murine MLL-leukemia (Krivtsov et al. 2006) stem cells including HOXA10, MEIS1, PBX3 and MEF2C. Our data indicates an important role for HOXA9 in human MLL-rearranged leukemias, and suggests targeting HOXA9 or downstream programs may be a novel therapeutic option.

Epigenetic profiling of hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia stem cells

Project description:The histone 3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methyltransferase Dot1l has been implicated in the development of leukemias bearing translocations that involve the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene. We identified the MLL-fusion targets in a murine MLL-AF9 leukemia model, and conducted epigenetic profiling for H3K79me2, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 and H3K36me3. Histone methylation patterns are highly abnormal on MLL-AF9 fusion target loci, defining a distinct epigenetic lesion involving H3K79. Conditional inactivation of Dot1l leads to specific down-regulation of direct MLL-AF9 targets and an MLL-translocation associated gene expression signature, while global transcription levels remain largely unaffected. This correlated with a greater sensitivity of leukemic blasts towards loss of Dot1l compared to normal hematopoietic cells. Development of in vivo leukemia was absolutely dependent on Dot1l. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by Solexa sequencing for H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K36me3, H3K79me2 and biotinylated MLL-AF9 in HSC, GMP and LSC.
