Down-regulation of MTSS1 is associated with a poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia and differentially affects responses to different drugs

ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive malignancy of hematopoietic cells. Despite recent approvals of targeted drugs, chemotherapy with cytosine arabinoside (araC) and an anthracycline like daunorubicin remains an important pillar of treatment. In a previous work, we have shown that MTSS1 is down-regulated at relapse compared to diagnosis of AML and its down-regulation was previously implicated in aggressiveness of solid tumors. Our results showed that MTSS1 expression was regulated by methylation and reduced by araC and daunorubicin. Experimental down-regulation rendered human AML cell lines more resistant to araC, daunorubicin, and eight additional drugs. In contrast, venetoclax, a BCL2 inhibitor, was more effective towards cells with low MTSS1 expression. A CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-out of the MTSS1 gene was used to generate insight into the molecular changes induced by the down-regulation of MTSS1. The knock-out led to the deregulation of > 900 genes which included numerous target genes of transcription factors with a confirmed role in hematopoiesis and AML. A gene ontology analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed that genes linked to transcription, cell cycle, and immune response were strongly affect. In summary, down-regulation of MTSS1 is associated with primary and secondary chemotherapy resistance in AML. In experimental models, it confers refractoriness to several cytotoxic drugs, yet sensitizes cells to venetoclax, pointing towards ways to overcome therapy resistance in MTSS1low AML.

Gene expression of viable human AML cells purified by FACS from bone marrows of three AML PDX treated by PBS(vehicle) or cytarabine

Project description:It has been hypothesized that chemotherapy resistant human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells are enriched in an immature phenotype, cellular quiescence and leukemic initiating cells (LICs). However, these hypotheses have never been validated completely in vivo. We have developed a physiologically relevant chemotherapeutic approach with cytosine arabinoside AraC using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. AraC-treated AML cells are not consistently enriched for either immature cells or quiescent cells. AraC treatment does not enrich for LICs as measured by limiting dilution in secondary transplantations. Rather chemotherapy resistant cells in vivo have high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a gene signature consistent with oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Treatment of human HIGH OXPHOS but not LOW OXPHOS AML cell lines showed chemotherapy resistance in vivo, showing that essential mitochondrial functions make significant contributions to AraC resistance in AML. Accordingly, targeting mitochondrial OXPHOS metabolism through the inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis, the electron transfer chain or fatty acid oxidation induced an energetic shift towards LOW OXPHOS and strongly enhanced anti-leukemic effects of AraC in AML cells. These results demonstrate that chemotherapy resistance in AML is not necessarily associated with stemness but is highly dependent on a distinct oxidative metabolism, and that the HIGH OXPHOS gene signature is a robust hallmark of the AraC response in PDX and a promising therapeutic avenue to treat AML residual disease.

Loss of DKM6A confers drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia (ChIP-seq of AML cell lines K562 and THP-1)

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematologic neoplasm resulting from the malignant transformation of myeloid progenitors. Despite intensive chemotherapy leading to initial treatment responses, relapse caused by intrinsic or acquired drug resistance represents a major challenge. Here, we report that histone 3 lysine 27 demethylase KDM6A (UTX) is targeted by inactivating mutations and mutation-independent regulation in relapsed AML. Analyses of matched diagnosis and relapse specimens from individuals with KDM6A mutations showed an outgrowth of the KDM6A mutated tumor population at relapse. KDM6A-null myeloid leukemia cells were more resistant to treatment with the chemotherapeutic agents cytarabine (AraC) and daunorubicin. Inducible re-expression of KDM6A in KDM6A-null cell lines suppressed proliferation and sensitized cells again to AraC treatment. RNA expression analysis and functional studies revealed that resistance to AraC was conferred by downregulation of the nucleoside membrane transporter ENT1 (SLC29A1). Our results show that loss of KDM6A provides cells with a selective advantage during chemotherapy, which ultimately leads to the observed outgrowth of clones with KDM6A mutations or reduced KDM6A expression at relapse.

AML patients for in vivo study of venetoclax plus AraC treatment

Project description:Therapy resistance represents a major clinical challenge in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here we define a “MitoScore” signature that identifies high mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPHOS) in vivo and in AML patients. Primary AML cells with cytarabine (AraC) resistance and high MitoScore relied on mitochondrial Bcl2 and were highly sensitive to venetoclax (VEN) plus AraC (but not to VEN plus azacytidine, AZA). Single-cell transcriptomics of VEN+AraC-residual cell populations revealed adaptive resistance associated with changes in OxPHOS, electron transport chain complex (ETC) and the TP53 pathway.

Acute myeloid leukemia cells resist chemotherapy through a transient senescence-like state [PDX]

Project description:In acute myeloid leukemias (AML), chemotherapy is frequently followed by disease relapse, yet the mechanism by which AML reemerges is not fully understood. We hypothesized that chemotherapy induces senescence-like dormancy that facilitates survival to genotoxic exposure, allowing AML cells to endure treatment in a transiently dormant state while retaining potential for leukemic repopulation. Here, we show that primary AML cells exhibit hallmark senescence features following treatment with cytarabine (AraC), including growth arrest, increased cellular granularity, senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity, and senescence-associated transcriptomic alterations. Induction of AraC-induced premature senescence was regulated by the ATR kinase activity and mediated stress-survival. High-throughput single cell RNA (scRNA)-seq analysis of primary AML cells ex vivo and in vivo following chemotherapy suggest active transcriptional programming towards senescent-like dormancy instead of enrichment for leukemia stem cells (LSCs). scRNA-seq of sorted AraC-induced premature senescent AML cells demonstrated a heterogenous population including a fraction of cells with simultaneous expression of dormancy- and senescence-associated gene signatures. Xenotransplantation of AraC-induced premature senescent AML cells into mice demonstrated that senescent-like AML cells maintain leukemia-repopulating potential. Altogether, we propose a mechanism of AML relapse whereby AML cells tolerate chemotherapy via acquisition of a transient senescent-like state.

Expression data from human AML blasts and healthy CD34+ bone marrow cells

Project description:Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains suboptimal and many patients remain refractory or relapse upon standard chemotherapy based on nucleoside analogs plus anthracyclines. The crosstalk between AML cells and the bone marrow (BM) stroma is a major mechanism underlying therapy resistance in AML. Lenalidomide and pomalidomide, a new generation immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), possess pleiotropic anti-leukemic properties including potent immune-modulating effects and are commonly used in hematological malignances associated with intrinsic dysfunctional BM such as myelodysplastic syndromes and multiple myeloma. Whether IMiDs may improve the efficacy of current standard treatment in AML remains understudied. Here, we have exploited in vitro and in vivo preclinical AML models to analyze whether IMiDs potentiate the efficacy of AraC/Iradubicin (standard AML chemotherapy) by interfering with the BM stroma-mediated chemoresistance. We report that lenalidomide and pomalidomide have cytotoxic effects on neither AML cells nor BM-MSCs, but they increase the immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory properties of BM-MSCs. When combined with AraC and Idarubicin, IMiDs fail to circumvent BM stroma-mediated resistance of AML cells in vitro and in vivo but induce robust extramedullary mobilization of AML cells. When administered as a single agent, lenalidomide highly mobilizes AML cells, but not healthy CD34+ cells, to peripheral blood (PB) likely through specific downregulation of CXCR4 in AML blasts. Global gene expression profiling supports a migratory/mobilization gene signature in lenalidomide-treated AML blasts but not in CD34+ cells. Collectively, IMiDs mobilize AML blasts to PB through downregulation of CXCR4 but do not improve AraC/Idarubicin activity in a preclinical model of AML.
