MYC induces immunotherapy and interferon-γ resistance through downregulation of JAK2

ABSTRACT: Immunotherapy revolutionized the treatment of advanced melanoma. As the pathways mediating resistance to immunotherapy are largely unknown, we conducted transcriptome profiling of pre-immunotherapy tumor biopsies from melanoma patients that received PD-1 blockade (n=36) or adoptive cell therapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (n=37). We identified two melanoma-intrinsic mutually exclusive gene programs, which are controlled by interferon-γ and MYC, and determine immunotherapy outcome. MYC-overexpressing melanoma cells exhibited lower interferon-γ responsiveness, which was linked with JAK2 downregulation. Luciferase activity assays under the control of JAK2 promoter demonstrated reduced activity in MYC-overexpressing cells, which was reversible upon mutagenesis of MYC E-box binding sites in the JAK2 promoter. Moreover, silencing of MYC or its co-factor MAX with siRNA increased JAK2 expression and interferon-γ responsiveness of melanomas, while concomitantly enhancing the effector functions of T-cells co-incubated with MYC-overexpressing cells. Thus, we propose that MYC plays a pivotal role in immunotherapy resistance through downregulation of JAK2.

ARID2 mitigates hepatic steatosis via promoting the ubiquitination of JAK2

Project description:Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a growing public health problem. However, the complicated pathogenesis of NAFLD contributes to the deficiency of effective clinical treatment. Here, we elucidated that liver-specific loss of Arid2 induced hepatic steatosis and this progression could be exacerbated by HFD. Mechanistic study revealed that ARID2 repressed JAK2-STAT5-PPARγ signaling pathway by promoting the ubiquitination of JAK2, which was mediated by NEDD4L, a novel E3 ligase for JAK2. ChIP assay revealed that ARID2 recruited CARM1 to increase H3R17me2 level at NEDD4L promoter and activated the transcription of NEDD4L. Moreover, inhibition of Jak2 by Fedratinib in liver-specific Arid2 knockout mice alleviated HFD-induced hepatic steatosis. Downregulation of ARID2 and the reverse correlation between ARID2 and JAK2 were also observed in clinical samples. Therefore, our study has revealed an important role of ARID2 in the development of NAFLD and provides a potential therapeutic strategy for NAFLD.

Analysis of muscular proteomics of deep pressure ulcers reveals JAK2 influence on muscle autophagy and apoptosis

Project description:Pressure ulcers (PU) is a complex and serious clinical problem. Deep tissue injury is either the outcome or the trigger of deep PU. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to the pathogenesis of deep PU remain unclear. In this study, the degeneration characteristics, increased autophagy and apoptosis were observed in deep PU muscle tissues by H&E staining, transmission electron microscope, TUNEL staining and western blot analysis. We further conducted quantitative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis to explore the proteome of deep PU muscle, a total of 520 proteins were differently expressed, including 427 up-regulated and 93 down-regulated. In particular, downregulation was observed for Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2). Intriguingly, we showed that a distinctly reduced expression of JAK2 in C2C12 myoblasts exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation insult. Ex vivo, JAK2 overexpressed myoblasts exhibited decrease of autophagy and apoptosis with the same treatment, along with less cell death. Finally, western blot analysis determined that p-JAK2, p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-mTOR and p-ERK1/2 were significantly elevated, accompanied by JAK2 overexpression, but without p-STAT3. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that both autophagy and apoptosis involve in muscle damage of deep PU, and JAK2 may play an important protective role in muscular ischemia and reperfusion injury by activating AKT and ERK1/2 pathway to inhibit autophagy and apoptosis.

TEL-JAK2 dependent transcriptome

Project description:TEL-JAK2 is a fusion oncogene resulting from a t(9;12) chromosomal translocation in T-ALL, translated as a constitutively activated TEL-JAK2 tyrosine kinase. Mice carrying a TEL-JAK2 transgene develop T-ALL. Gene deregulated in TEL-JAK2 T-ALL cells as compared to mouse thymocytes were identified Leukemic cells were collected from the thymus of terminally-ill TEL-JAK2 mice; thymocytes were collected from the thymus of 2 months-old mice. All mice on C57B/6 background. RNA was extracted from each sample and processed for hybridization to Affymetrix arrays.

Effects of the treatment with pegIFNa, Azacytidine or pegIFNa+Azacytidine in LT-HSCs from JAK2-V617F MPN mice or JAK2-V617F;Dnmt3a-KO MPN mice.

Project description:Pegylated interferon alpha (pegIFNα) can induce molecular remissions in JAK2-V617F-positive myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) patients by targeting long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs). Additional somatic mutations in genes regulating LT-HSC self-renewal, such as DNMT3A, have been reported to have poorer responses to pegIFNα. We investigated if DNMT3A loss leads to alterations in JAK2-V617F LT-HSCs functions conferring resistance to pegIFNα treatment in a mouse model of MPN and in hematopoietic progenitors from MPN patients. Long-term treatment with pegIFNα normalized blood parameters, reduced splenomegaly and JAK2-V617F-chimerism in single-mutant JAK2-V617F (VF) mice. However, pegIFNα in VF;Dnmt3aΔ/Δ (VF;DmΔ/Δ) mice worsened splenomegaly and failed to reduce JAK2-V617F-chimerism. Furthermore, LT-HSCs from VF;DmΔ/Δ mice compared to VF were less prone to accumulate DNA damage and exit dormancy upon pegIFNα treatment. RNA-sequencing showed that IFNα induced stronger upregulation of inflammatory pathways in LT-HSCs from VF;DmΔ/Δ compared to VF mice, indicating that the resistance of VF;DmΔ/Δ LT-HSC was not due to failure in IFNα signaling. Transplantations of bone marrow from pegIFNα treated VF;DmΔ/Δ mice gave rise to more aggressive disease in secondary and tertiary recipients. Liquid cultures of hematopoietic progenitors from MPN patients with JAK2-V617F and DNMT3A mutation showed increased percentages of JAK2-V617F-positive colonies upon IFNα exposure, whereas in patients with JAK2-V617F alone the percentages of JAK2-V617F-positive colonies decreased or remained unchanged. PegIFNα combined with 5-azacytidine only partially overcame resistance in VF;DmΔ/Δ mice. However, this combination strongly decreased the JAK2-mutant allele burden in mice carrying VF mutation only, showing potential to inflict substantial damage preferentially to the JAK2-mutant clone.

SPAG9-JAK2 gene expression array in Ba/F3 cells

Project description:SPAG9-JAK2 is a novel fusion gene identified in a pediatric patient with Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL). In this study, we performed functional analysis of the SPAG9-JAK2 fusion to establish molecular targeted therapy. Ba/F3 cells expressing SPAG9-JAK2 generated by retroviral transduction (Ba/F3-SPAG9-JAK2), proliferated in the absence of IL-3, and exhibited constitutive phosphorylation of the tyrosine residues in the JAK2 kinase domain of the fusion protein and STAT3/STAT5. Mutation of tyrosine residues in the JAK2 kinase domain (SPAG9-JAK2 mut) abolished IL-3 independence, but had no influence on STAT3/STAT5 phosphorylation levels. Gene expression analysis revealed that Stat1 was significantly up-regulated in Ba/F3-SPAG9-JAK2 cells. STAT1 was also phosphorylated in Ba/F3-SPAG9-JAK2 but not SPAG9-JAK2 mut cells, suggesting that STAT1 is key for SPAG9-JAK2-mediated cell proliferation. Consistently, STAT1 induced expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins, BCL-2 and MCL-1, as did SPAG9-JAK2, but not SPAG9-JAK2 mut. Ruxolitinib abrogated Ba/F3-SPAG9-JAK2-mediated proliferation in vitro, but was insufficient in vivo. Venetoclax (a BCL-2 inhibitor) or AZD5991 (an MCL-1 inhibitor) enhanced the effects of ruxolitinib on Ba/F3-SPAG9-JAK2 in vitro. These findings suggest that activation of the JAK2-STAT1-BCL-2/MCL-1 axis contributes to SPAG9-JAK2-related aberrant growth promotion. BCL-2 or MCL-1 inhibition is a potential therapeutic option for B-ALL with SPAG9-JAK2 fusion.

Project description:We analyzed baseline and on-therapy tumor biopsies from 101 patients with advanced melanoma treated with nivolumab (anti-PD-1) alone or combined with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4). Analysis of whole transcriptome data showed that T cell infiltration and interferon-gamma signaling signatures corresponded most highly with clinical response to therapy, with a reciprocal decrease in cell cycle and WNT signaling pathways in responding biopsies. Clinical outcome differences were likely not due to differential melanoma cell responses to interferon-gamma, as 57 human melanoma cell lines exposed in vitro to this cytokine showed a conserved interferon-gamma transcriptome response unless they had mutations that precluded signaling from the interferon-gamma receptor. Therefore, the magnitude of the antitumor T cell response and the corresponding downstream interferon-gamma signaling are the main drivers of clinical response or resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
