Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) contributes to a receptor tyrosine kinase signature regulating the cardiac side population

ABSTRACT: Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (Flt3) is a regulator of hematopoietic progenitor cells. It is a target of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used for acute myeloid leukemia treatment. Flt3 and its ligand (Flt3L) are expressed in the heart and cardiac side effects occur under Flt3-targeting TKIs. Whether Flt3/Flt3L also regulate cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), however, is not known. The cardiac side population (SP) is a pool of heterogenous CPCs that can give rise to all cardiac lineages, hence contributing to cardiovascular homeostasis. Here we show that SP-CPCs produce and are responsive to Flt3L. Compared to wild-type, SP-CPCs from flt3L-/- mice are less abundant, with less contribution of CD45-CD34+ cells, and lower expression of gene sets related to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, cardiovascular development and stem cell differentiation. Upon culturing and compared to wild-type, flt3L-/- Sca1+CD31- SP-CPCs show increased proliferation and less vasculogenic commitment, but differentiation can be induced in the presence of receptor tyrosine kinase-activating growth factors. The observed differences are associated with decreased microvascularisation and global systolic function of flt3L-/- hearts. Thus, Flt3 contributes to a receptor tyrosine kinase signature necessary for the maintenance and functionality of SP-CPCs. These findings have potential implications regarding cardiovascular side effects observed under TKI therapy.

FLT3 inhibition upregulates HDAC8 via FOXO to inactivate p53 and promote maintenance of FLT3-ITD+ acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutations within the FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) can be found in up to 25~30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and confer a poor prognosis. Although FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown clinical responses, the overall outcome of FLT3-ITD+ AML patients remains poor, and most of them would relapse very shortly. TKIs can not eliminate primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells, which are potential sources of relapse. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms underlying FLT3-ITD+ AML maintenance and drug resistance is essential to develop novel, effective treatment strategies. Here, we demonstrate that FLT3 inhibition induces histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) upregulation through FOXO1 and FOXO3-mediated transactivation in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Upregulated HDAC8 deacetylates and inactivates p53, leading to leukemia maintenance and drug resistance upon TKIs treatment. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of HDAC8 re-activates p53, abrogates leukemia maintenance and significantly enhances TKI-mediated elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Importantly, in FLT3-ITD+ AML patient-derived xenograft models, the combination of FLT3 TKI (AC220) with a HDAC8 inhibitor (22d) significantly inhibits leukemia progression and effectively reduces primitive FLT3-ITD+ AML cells. Moreover, we extend these findings to an AML subtype harboring another tyrosine kinase activating mutation. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that HDAC8 upregulation as an important mechanism to resist TKIs and promote leukemia maintenance, and suggests that combining HDAC8 inhibition with TKI treatment could be a promising strategy to treat FLT3-ITD+ AML and other tyrosine kinase mutation-harboring leukemias.

High-Throughput Screening of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Cardiotoxicity using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), despite efficacy as anti-cancer therapies, are associated with cardiovascular side effects ranging from induced arrhythmias to heart failure. We have utilized patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), generated from 11 healthy individuals and 2 patients receiving cancer treatment, to screen FDA-approved TKIs for cardiotoxicities by measuring alterations in cardiomyocyte viability, contractility, electrophysiology, calcium handling, and signaling. With these data, we generated a “cardiac safety index” to assess cardiotoxicities of existing TKIs. Many TKIs with a low cardiac safety index exhibit cardiotoxicity in patients. We also derived endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs) and cardiac fibroblasts (hiPSC-CFs) to examine cell type-specific cardiotoxicities. Using high-throughput screening, we determined that VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs caused cardiotoxicity in hiPSC-CMs, hiPSC-ECs, and hiPSC-CFs. Using phosphoprotein analysis, we determined that VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs led to a compensatory increase in cardioprotective insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling in hiPSC-CMs. Activating cardioprotective signaling with exogenous insulin or IGF1 improved hiPSC-CM viability during co-treatment with cardiotoxic VEGFR2/PDGFR-inhibiting TKIs. Thus, hiPSC-CMs can be used to screen for cardiovascular toxicities associated with anti-cancer TKIs, correlating with clinical phenotypes. This approach provides unexpected insights, as illustrated by our finding that toxicity can be alleviated via cardioprotective insulin/IGF signaling.

Targeting FLT3-TAZ Signaling to Suppress Drug Resistance in Blast Crisis Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Although the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including BCR-ABL1 targeted therapies, rendered chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) a manageable condition, acquisition of drug resistance during blast crisis (BC) progression remains a critical challenge. Here, we elucidate the significance of FLT3 signaling in the acquisition of drug resistance in BC-CML. Mechanistically, FLT3 expression in CML cells activated FLT3-JAK-STAT3-TAZ-TEAD-CD36 pathway, which conferred resistance to wide range of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Remarkably, a subgroup of BC-CML patients who expressed FLT3 showed strong correlation with the prognostic factors of CML independent of recurrent BCR-ABL1 mutations. We demonstrate that combining FLT3 inhibitors with BCR-ABL1 targeted therapies or single treatment with ponatinib can overcome drug resistance and promote cell death in patient-derived FLT3+ BC-CML cells and mouse xenograft models. Our findings reveal the mechanism of FLT3-mediated drug resistance in BC progression and suggest the inclusion of FLT3 as a therapeutic target for this defined group of patients.

Phosphoproteomic characterization of primary AML samples and relevance for response towards FLT3-inhibitors

Project description:Kinase hyperactivity is a common driver of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and serves as a therapeutic target. The most frequent genetic aberration leading to hyperactive kinase signaling and poor prognosis is internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the FMS-tyrosine-like Kinase 3-gene (FLT3). FLT3-ITD induces ligand independent activation of FLT3 and downstream pathways leading to proliferation, decreased apoptosis and partial differentiation block. Combined with chemotherapy, FLT3-Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (FLT3-TKI) midostaurin improves overall survival (OS) of newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML patients, whereas single agent gilteritinib proved superior to chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated AML patients . As the primary targets of currently approved FLT3-TKIs are tyrosine (Y) kinases, we hypothesized that direct evaluation of tyrosine phosphorylation status could reveal pY phosphorylation profiles associated with FLT3-TKI response. Therefore, we used label-free pTyr-based phosphoproteomics in 35 primary AML samples (18 FLT3-WT, 17 FLT3-ITD), to identify differentially phosphorylated proteins underlying response to the FLT3-TKIs gilteritinib and midostaurin. We identified a total of 3024 unique phosphosites (median 1299 per sample, range 286 – 1612, pS:pT:pY 11.9%:9.5%:78.6%). Due to low number of identified phosphosites, we excluded two samples from further analyses. On the remaining 33 samples, we additionally performed IMAC global phosphoproteomics and on 17 samples protein expression analysis.

A network-based approach reveals a novel mechanism of resistance to TKI-therapy in AML

Project description:Internal tandem duplications (ITDs) in the FLT3 gene are frequently identified and confer a poor prognosis in patient affected by acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The insertion site of the ITDs in FLT3 significantly impacts the sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy, affecting patient’s clinical outcome. To decipher the molecular mechanisms driving the different sensitivity to TKIs therapy of FLT3-ITD cells, we used high-sensitive mass spectrometry-based (phospho)proteomics and deep sequencing. Here, we developed a novel generally-applicable data analysis strategy, dubbed “Signaling Profiler”, that supports the integration of unbiased large-scale datasets with literature-derived signaling networks. The approach resulted in the generation of FLT3-ITDs specific predictive models and reveales a crucial and conserved role of the WEE1-CDK1 axis in TKIs resistance. Remarkably, pharmacological inhibition of the WEE1 kinase significantly synergizes and strengths the pro-apoptotic effect of TKIs therapy in cell lines and patient-derived primary blasts. In conclusion, this work proposes a new molecular mechanism of TKIs resistance in AML and suggests a combination therapy as option to improve therapeutic efficacy.

PRMT1-mediated FLT3 arginine methylation is required for maintenance of FLT3-ITD+ Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:The presence of FLT3-ITD mutations in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor clinical outcome. FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), although effective in kinase ablation, do not eliminate FLT3-ITD+ leukemia stem cells (LSCs) which are potential sources of disease relapse, prompting us to ask whether FLT3-ITD protein regulates the AML LSCs survival through a kinase-independent mechanism. Here, we show that expression of PRMT1, the primary type I arginine methyltransferase, significantly increases in LSC-enriched CD34+CD38- populations relative to normal counterparts. Genetic PRMT1 depletion blocked AML CD34+ cell survival, and had more potent effects in AML cells from patients harboring FLT3-ITD. Our genome wide analysis of gene expression and PRMT1 conditional KO mouse study confirmed that PRMT1 preferentially cooperates with FLT3-ITD contributing to AML cell maintenance. Mechanistically, PRMT1 catalyzed FLT3-ITD protein methylation at arginines 972/973, and PRMT1 promoted leukemia cell growth in a FLT3 methylation-dependent manner. Moreover, effects of FLT3-ITD methylation in AML cells were in part due to crosstalk with FLT3-ITD phosphorylation at tyrosine 969 (Y969). Importantly, FLT3 methylation persisted in FLT3-ITD+ AML cells following TKI (AC220) treatment, indicating that methylation occurs independently of kinase activity. Finally, in both patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and murine AML models, combined administration of AC220 with a type I PRMT inhibitor (MS023) enhanced elimination of FLT3-ITD+ AML relative to AC220 treatment alone. Our study demonstrates that PRMT1-mediated FLT3 methylation promotes LSC activity and suggests that combining PRMT1 inhibition with FLT3 TKI treatment could be a promising approach to selectively target FLT3-ITD+ LSCs.

Identification of Cardiovascular Lineage Descendants at Single Cell Resolution

Project description:The transcriptional profiles of cardiac cells derived from murine embryos and from mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) have primarily been studied within a cell population. However, the characterization of gene expression in these cells at a single cell level may demonstrate unique variations that are not able to be appreciated as a pool. In this study, we aimed to establish a single cell quantitative PCR platform and perform side-by-side comparison between cardiac progenitors cells (CPCs) and cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from mESC and mouse embryos. We first generated a reference map for cardiovascular single cells through quantifying lineage-defining genes for CPCs, CMs, smooth muscle cells (SMCs), endothelial cells (EDCs), fibroblasts, and mESCs. This panel was then applied against day 10.5 embryonic heart single cells to demonstrate its ability to identify each endocardial cell and chamber-specific CM. In addition, we compared the gene expression profile of embryo- and mESC-derived CPCs and CMs at different developmental stages and showed that mESC-derived CM is phenotypically similar to embryo-derived CM up to the neonatal stage. Furthermore, we show that single cell expression assay coupled with time-lapse microscopy can resolve the identity and the lineage relationships between progenies of single cultured CPC. With this approach, we found differential propensity for mESC-derived CPCs to become SMCs or CMs, whereas single embryo-derived CPC to become either EDCs or CMs. These results demonstrate that multiplex gene expression analysis in single cells is a powerful tool in examining the unique behavior in individual embryo- or mESC-derived cardiac cells.
